Name: Benjamin the donkey - pimped up version
Author: Mondstein
Version: 1.0
Date: 6. August 2010
Category: rideable creatures


This version is completely different from all the previous versions of Benjamin the donkey. Benjamin is not alone anymore. He and his friends Platero (for mages), Rucio (for traders) and Puzzle (for evil mages) are waiting for you ...
They have working saddlebags and almost all the meshes have new textures.


Location
========

You can find Benjamin and his friends Platero, Rucio and Puzzle waiting for you in a paddock behind the Weynon Priory Stables.


Details
=======

Benjamin, Platero, Rucio and Puzzle (all named after great donkeys of literature) are rideable, player owned donkeys. They are immune against magic, poison, disease and can breath underwater.

They are set essential (they will not die).

They will not wander. Where you have left one of them, he will wait for you (if you have forgotten, where you have left him, just fast travel and he will be there (if you haven't used another mount in the meantime)).

They all have working saddlebags. If you mount one of the donkeys the first time, you will get a saddlebag spell. Use it to open the saddlebags (unlimited and safe storage).
