DESCRIPTION

This is a small mod that expands upon the quest "Steal
Chimarvamidium" from Edwinna Elbert in the Ald'Ruhn
Guild of Mages.

The room where the book is kept is now locked, but there
are now several ways of getting the book as well as some
new dialogue that hints at how you may go about it.
There are also different ways you can return the book,
with checks and dialogue for the different options,
including if you steal the book again after returning it.

If you wish to figure out the quest on your own, avoid
the spoilers at the end of this document. If not, refer
to section 8 of this readme for the solution(s) to the
quest.


REQUIREMENTS

Requires Tribunal, Bloodmoon, and Patch for Purists.


COMPATIBILITY

This mod changes some dialogue and the relevant journal
topic. It also changes the NPC named Sirilonwe. Any mod
that changes this quest, or Sirilonwe, is likely to be
incompatible.

Anything else is likely to be compatible, except mods
that makes sweeping changes to a large number of NPCs,
in which case I recommend using an object merger.


KNOWN ISSUES

I've tried to make the dialogue as robust as possible,
and I've tested everything extensively. If some bug has
slipped through, please let me know.


PERMISSIONS

Anyone may freely modify, distribute, or rehost this mod
as long as they include this readme and attribute credit
to me, Seibaby, as the original author, and provided any
modified work is published under its own name.


CONTACT

If you have questions, feedback, or bug reports, you may
send me a message via Nexus, or find me in the Morrowind
modding Discord.


VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.0.0 - Initial release
Version 1.0.1 - Removed dependency on Patch for Purists.
- Fixed a bug where a script would not run
in morrowind.exe.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many thanks to abot for helping me with tracking down
and fixing a bug affecting the mod in the vanilla engine.


SPOILERS

DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WISH TO FIGURE OUT THE QUEST
ON YOUR OWN.

Here are the various ways to obtain the book:

You can use stealth and pick the lock, or steal the key
from the table behind Sirilonwe.

You can use diplomacy and get Sirilonwe's disposition to
80+, and she will lend you the book.

If you explore some dialogue options pertaining to
Trebonius, you can have Trebonius distract Sirilonwe
while you steal the key and the book.

If you steal the book and give it back to Sirilonwe
instead of giving it to Edwinna, Sirilonwe will keep the
book on her person until you leave the cell. When you
come back, she will have put it back in the chest.

After the quest is finished, Sirilonwe will always keep
the book on her person, unless she never knew you took
it (or if she lent it to you). You get a disposition
bonus for returning the book, but if you want to steal
the book AGAIN, you shouldn't let her know you stole it
in the first place. Either persuade her to lend it to
you, or quietly sneak it back into the chest without
letting her know you took it.
