The Fork of Horripilation Quest
A Quest by: Rifli

Description
----------------
"Why is Big-Head not in Skyrim? Big-Head wishes to be. The fork is there. Master is there. Why can Big-Head not be there? Even if it is too cold for Big-Head."
-Big-Head, on his opinion of Skyrim.

This mod adds a new quest to Skyrim, The Fork of Horripilation. This mod is a semi-short quest centered on meeting Big-Head, fighting the Nasty Man (the thief who stole the Fork), and retrieving the Fork from him. Big-Head can be found in the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace, down the stairs from the Sheogorath quest. This is a full side quest, with journal entries and a leveled reward. This quest is semi-lore friendly, as it adds a recurring character and Daedric artifact. The Fork comes with a curse that drains your magicka by 200 points when equipped. This mod is intended for Big-Head fans, people looking for new quests, people looking to add old characters and artifacts to Skyrim, and Sheogorath lovers. The Fork can be taken from Big-Head after the quest (But come on! You just helped the poor guy out!) and is fully usable and temperable. The requirements are interesting, and may take some time to track down. As of this time, the quest does not have voice acting, but does have a blank sound file so that the subtitles are readable. Please turn subtitles on!

Constructive feedback, complements, and suggestions are all appreciated. Please thank PrivateEye for his Fork of Horripilation modder's resource. Pictures of the Fork and/or quest in action are encouraged!

Note: I've added a book to the Nasty Man's location that gives info on the back-story and tempering recipe of the Fork. The Nasty Man's Journal also gives clues to the recipe, but in somewhat more mixed up terms.
