:: SICARIUS' REFUGE SSE ::

I am willing to bet a few septims that not every assassin likes to live in a moldy dungeon full of gore and blood. Some of us have class!
We like the comforts of a well-kept home with all mod cons! So here's my attempt at making the perfect assassin's hideout.
I put many of my favourite features into it, and for a vanilla house (not using any DLC) I'd say it's pretty extensive.

This is the original "DLC version" of the hideout and comes with a vampire coffin, a room for maximum 2 adoptable children, a plantable garden outside the shack, and a follower Death Hound called Norok. Norok will follow you once you "activate" him inside the house. If he doesn't use the console and type player.setanimalcount to 0

There are three buttons inside the hideout, that allow you to change features on or off. The first button is on the wall next to the bedroom wall.
You can hide the children's room with that, and it adds a wall and two mannequins. If you at some point decide to adopt kid(s),
just empty the mannequins and press the button again.

This house is meant for an assassin and his/her apprentice, but if you insist on having 2 kids, use the button next to the chandelier in the kids room.
It will activate BUNKBED MODE 9000X which means you will have 2 kid beds. If you don't touch the button you will just have one child bed.

Third button is in the master bedroom, next to the doorway. Use that if your PC is a vampire and you want to use a coffin instead of the double bed.
I hope we all agree that the house is way too small to have coffins for both a spouse and your char, so I only put one in there.

All the buttons work on and off multiple times so switch around as you like.

How to adopt kids: Install Hearthfires Multiple Adoptions mod by TMPhoenix and use Bless Home spell inside the house.

It will say "Beds: 2" when you infact have just one. One of the beds is hidden for the adoption functionality to work.
You can then tell your kids or kids you're intending to adopt about your "Nice New House" (nice might be an exaggeration but...)
If you have spouse, this will also move them there.

Pets should work, so should sandboxing. Pls report back.

:: WHAT'S NEW FOR SSE ::

- Added a smelting pot in the smithing room
- The place didn't have a named poison storage. I made one above the alchemy workbench.
- Minor adjustments to light radiuses
- General minor adjustments to items and their positions.. and fixes on things that bothered me
- Improved interior map (in case you want one :D)

:: GENERAL INFO ::

The shack above the refuge is sort of just a distraction. It's supposed to look like a rundown hunter's cottage
so no one suspects it hides a master assassin's home. You can use the bed and the cooking pit in the shack
but why would you when you have a comfy place hidden just under them. You could probably
leave a follower to guard the place and live in the shack on top.

How to get the house:
The house once belonged to a master assassin, but he was finally caught, and hung just outside Morthal, in the swamps.
You can find his restless soul wandering near the hangman's tree (around Kjenstag ruins and the Imperial Camp at the east of the swamp).
The guards have posted warnings around Morthal for normal folk to steer clear of the place.
Once you have defeated the angry spectral hitman, you can loot his remains for the hideout key and his unique armour.
The hideout itself is just outside Morthal, I've left map pictures in the images section to direct you there.
The map marker becomes available (you still have to discover the place yourself) after the "boss fight" is over. He should be kind of tough, like lvl 30

How to make arrows:
You need to loot the crate under the alchemy lab and read the book. It will teach you the arrow crafting skill. For crafting poisoned arrows
you need Hunter's Arrows, craftable at the forge under Elven. After you have crafted hunter's arrows and collected the ingredients you can
make arrows at the font next to the alchemy lab.

If you're not the crafty type, you can buy Hunter's Arrows from the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun.

Other stuff:
Recommend activating the Altar of Sithis a bit further away from the statue, or clipping will occur
Recommended to stand back a bit from the mirror when using it.
The small display cases are inaccessible on purpose.
There's a memento wall above the mannequins where you can leave little stuff you maybe take from your victims
The water animations on the bath depend on your individual setup, there may be some funkiness

:: KNOWN ISSUES / CONFLICTS ::

� Anything that edits cell -8, 16
� ETaC adds a torch sconce over one of the warning notes in Morthal
