Tax Collector

Here's my beginning idea for a quest involving the tax collector "Sacarrus Clavidius"


Ya see Sacarrus is tired of being a tax collector, he wants to retire, but cant make it on his meager pay from the Empire. So he pockets a little bit here and there..... recently he stumbled across an old archive which hints to a hidden chamber in the Gate Interiors with untold treasures.... and wants "YOU" to help him get to it

Through a series of "favors" he will give you hints as to were this secret is hidden and how to get to it

Some ideas on what those favors are would be nice to hear

Heres: #1 Thier are prisoners in the gate, (tax evaders Im sure) seems that Sacarrus helped one of them to escape on promise of a nice reward, but the reward was never collected on. Sacarrus will tell you he was a Nord and mentioned moving north, but cant remember his name... maybe you can find a hint as to his name while searching the gate... find the name, find the nord, collect the money and return it to Sacarrus for your first clue.......

I have an idea for an final plot twist (is this the word?):
The whole thing about a hidden treasure is a plot to get the player killed and robbed. Since the pc has a lot of money it is something that the tax collector could trie to get rich.

Well we kinda got the final plot line worked out a bit, I dont want to give to many secrets away but it does involve the Morag Tong

Ya got any ideas on some of the favors

[Rincewind]

break into the house of a rich guy and search for hidden money (hiddden because the house owner didn't want to pay that much taxes).

a valuable heirloom maybe? or possibly just a repo man? hows this sound

Sacarrus know this guy is rich but hides his valuables well, sends you to find the hidden items to prove him rich. once you've found the items, take your proof back to sacarrus he will send a guard to follow you to his home and arrest him and leave you to take the loot back to sacarrus for the second clue... of course the player keeps everyhting else they want

[Rincewind]

Sounds good.
Perhaps you only have to find the proof because take it would be a crime and a tax collector isn't allowed to employ a criminal. So you have to break in, search for an secret room/secret chest, open this chest, find the proof by doing this and get out without been seen.

another quest idea:
the tax collector's supervisor comes into town. The chances that the tax collector's little savings will be found are high. So you have to fake evidence that the supervisor is corrupt.

both ideas sound good to me !!

:idea1:

How bout this for an alternate ending, once the last "favor" is completed, but prior to obtaining "the secret of the gate items"
you find out from sacarrus "via slip of the tongue" that he has a stash of goods he's taken over the years.

You look around in the gate for the "stash" find it and report Sacarrus to his superiors for a small reward and the satisfaction of seeing an IMPERIAL CRIMINAL go up the creek


Sorry Steve

I like this ending.

This Quest was originally proposed for ES3 but can be applied anywhere

With a few NPC changes and location change I think it will work out to be a nice fun quest

Enjoy
