DESCRIPTION

This is a small quest addition to the Mages' Guild quest
"A Potion from Skink-in-tree's-shade" from Edwinna
Elbert in Ald'ruhn, potentially restoring some cut
content.

If you paid close attention to the dialogue of the quest,
you may have picked up on the fact that Skink seems to
have had some trouble delivering the potion. Edwinna
mentions how long she's been waiting, and Skink is very
apologetic about it as well, but apparently the potion
is immediately ready for delivery upon your arrival.

There is some unused dialogue from Skink about ancestral
tombs, suggesting there may originally have been more to
this quest.

What do ancestral tombs contain? Ghosts!
What do you get from ghosts? Ectoplasm!
What's ectoplasm good for? Detect Creatures potions!

To me at least, it seems clear that the delay was due to
Skink having trouble sourcing ectoplasm, and he may have
been meant to send you on an errand to go fetch him some.

So that's what this mod does. Skink now asks you for
Ectoplasm and suggests you go looking for it in a tomb.

Ever the diplomat, he's aware that the dunmer get upset
when you raid their ancestor's final resting places, and
suggests to find an abandoned one.

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 and Bloodmoon.


COMPATIBILITY

This mod changes some dialogue and the relevant journal
topic. Any mod that changes this quest is likely to be
incompatible. Anything else is likely to be compatible.


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


SPOILERS

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

Skinks suggests you go find an abandoned ancestral tomb:
the Tharys Ancestral Tomb, a starter tomb just outside
of Balmora, which is indeed abandoned as there are no
living members of the Tharys family.

However, if you ask the alchemists in town, they'll hint
about more local resources, and direct you to the tavern.
The scout at Dirty Muriel's Cornerclub will tell you
there's are several tombs around Sadrith Mora, and
suggest one just north of town (which happens to be the
unremarkable Sadryon Ancestral Tomb, nonetheless filled
with leveled undead ripe for harvesting).

If you don't want to go tomb raiding, Skink seems to
have overlooked the fact that Pierlette Rostorard, just
down the road from Wolverine Hall, carries Ectoplasm.

When you return with some Ectoplasm, Skink then sends
you on another fetch quest for some Bloat, another
ingredient with the Detect Animal property. Thankfully,
he knows where to get some: Anis Seloth, the premier
town Alchemist, sells it.

Veteran Morrowind players are probably aware that you
can buy Bloat from Aunius Autrus, just downstairs, as
well.

Finally, if you REALLY want to cheese this quest, you
can buy both Ectoplasm and Bloat from Anarenen in
Ald'ruhn before heading over to Wolverine Hall.
