[MG] earth magic

[kingevil]

Before this quest some lore :

It debated to this day what the nature of the disaster was that destroyed Yokuda. Tremors of the earth were not uncommon in the continent's history, and many argue that it was simply a natural catastrophic series of quakes at the foundation of the land. Others suggest that it may have had human origins: during the last civil war, a renegade band of Ansei called the Hiradirge were said to be masters of stone magic. When they were defeated in battle in 1E 792, the argument goes, they had their revenge on the entire land, destroying what they would never rule.

Now , for the quest :

The mages guild found a couple of scrolls on earth magic that where written by a member of the haradirge in some small settlement in VVardenfell . The owner of them was a simple farmer who was unable to read , but just liked the drawings when he found them . When a member of the local mages guild visited the farmer he instantly saw the value of these scrolls , bought them and shipped them to Silgrad city for future research by experts . Unfortunately the ship was attacked by pirates on the way there . A member of the mages guild in Silgrad city will ask you to retrieve the scrolls . He thinks it is very likely that the pirates live in ebbedin because the ship was attacked near the island . If you do some research in the old watchtower ( local tavern ) you will find a khajit that looks like he had a bit too much skooma . Dialogue goes like this .

Greetings :
Freind be you ! Mee French want something from me ? Me great Mane !
dialogue options :
Yeah right , whatever .
khajit: You no me friened ! You bad thingie ! You levae before me kika you ass ! ( ends dialogue )
I'd love to have a drink with you friend !
khajit: Great ! Barthing , give me French a drink !
barm: What do you want ?
R: you dare insult the French ??? Attaquez! (dialogue ends , the khajit stands up and runs towards the barman , trips over his own tail and falls .
Barman:*sigh* I guess that means you want some mead . Mead added to inventory )
*the khajit get back to his seat*
khajit : it loks like the barthing have you drink . Now , why did you visit me ?
choises:
I just wanted to talk to my friend .
khajit: Great ! I wuv talking to friend ! Talk! Talk Talk! Bark ! bark! bark !( return to choise menu)
Do you know anything about the ship that was attacked by pirates ?
Khajit: Yes does me ! We and Us friend attack ship ! Attaquez! Fun be it !
No goo'stuf o' float thingy though . Onwy toilet paper . Nice toilet pa'er ! Hasjes drawings ! Unfortunatly is all gone . My use and then flush . Fluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush . Wiiiii! Flush ! dialogue ends .

(typing errors in khajit dialogue intentional)

Journal update . I should report what happend to mages guild member .

Mages guild member : He did what ? Those scrolls were of huge value ! Looks like there is only one solution : We will have to go into the sewer .

The part after this is just of the kill stuff until you find the 'toilet paper' . Then you return the scrolls , learn something about earth magic , get some gold , have a new 'french'( khajit guy) . Everybody is happy !

Nice Idea :goodjob:

We will have to check with TID as to weather we can add a pirate ship near Ebbedin

I know their pirates south of Ebbedin, (if they are going to be added to ES4 or not I do not know)

What type of obsticles (if any) do we have for the player once he/she enters the sewers

The reward is:

some gold
a new spell learned?
a companion?

That quite a bit, we will need to make it a difficult task to find the scrolls. yes?

Enjoy

It's just a sewer , so it's not like it's going to be guarded . Just some goblins and lots of rats . Nothing difficult . But after you retrieve the scrolls the mages guild will of course want revenge on the pirates , will be a bit harder .Your reward will be whatever you can find on the pirate ship + What could be translated from the scrolls , that could be a stat boost or some nice new spell . I wasn't talking about a companion . By a new friend I mean the khajit . Not that he has any use .
