 Greenwood Quest, The Nord, the bear and the hammer |
     |
WARNING: Confusing quest ahead! 
You meet a drunken Nord by the name of Hodlin in a tavern in Greenwood.
When you talk to him he angrily mumbles something about a hammer and
punching his brother?s face in. When you ask him what he?s talking
about he will tell you that he got in a big fight with his brother
Loronr who supposedly made his pet bear disappear the other evening
(his brother is a mage) and threatened to kill him for it. Loronr
enchanted his sibling?s hammer which flew right out Hodlin?s hands and
gave him a swift hit in the head. The next thing Hodlin remembers is
waking up on the floor of his house with his hammer gone and his
brother nowhere in sight.
Hodlin asks you if you are willing to find out where his hammer and pet
bear are so that he can get them back. The hammer is a powerful family
heirloom that Hodlin inherited from his father so he is quite eager to
get it back? and the bear has been his pet since he was a little child.
He remembers that Loronr said something about going to the Riften mages
guild on business so you should start by finding Loronr and asking him
where the hammer and his brother?s bear are. Hodlin promises you the
recipe for a special battle potion as a reward if you are successful.
You then need to go to the Riften mages guild and persuade Loronr to
tell you what happened. When you first ask him about what happened
between his brother and him he tells you that his brother was drunk (as
usual) and accused him of making his pet bear ?magically? disappear?
after which he tried to kill him. He says that he always hated his
brother?s ?little beast?, but has nothing to do with it disappearing?
he says that the bear just decided to take a trip to the forest that
morning (while Hodlin was out drinking in the local tavern) and never
came back. However Loronr admits that he did take his brother?s hammer
away in self defense? and in order to teach him a lesson, but he
refuses to say where the hammer is now. You will need to raise Loronr?s
disposition enough in order for him to tell you what he did with the
hammer. If you do raise his disposition enough he will tell you that he
enchanted the hammer with a ?wandering spirit? and eventually sent it
off to the nearby legion fort.
When you return to Hodlin with this information he will be reluctant to
believe you about the fate of his bear, but will eventually agree to
look for the his pet in the forest? just in case his brother was
telling the truth. Though before he goes, Hodlin will ask you to
retrieve his hammer for him as he doesn?t feel like going near the
legion fort in account of being arrested several times for his
?disorderly behavior?. If you agree he will throw in 450 gold pieces
together with the recipe for the potion? if not you will just get your
recipe and the quest will end right there.
You will need to sneak into the basement of the legion fort in order to
get to the hammer (the basement will be an ?off limits? area). If you
make it into the basement you will have to ?kill? the spirit with which
the hammer is enchanted. The hammer will attack you as if being wielded
by an invisible opponent (this will be done by using a variation of
Alasdair?s ?ghost sword? script). It will be highly resistant to normal
weapons, but if you manage to do enough damage the hammer will
eventually fall to the ground and you will be able to pick it up. At
this point you can choose to keep the hammer for yourself? otherwise
you can return it to Hodlin and receive the potion recipe and 450 gold
as compensation. If you return to the tavern (having acquired the
hammer) you will see Hodlin with a huge bear standing next to him. He
will tell you that he found his bear in the forest chasing a rabbit.
-If you give him back his hammer you will receive the recipe and the 450 gold as promised.
-If you tell him you couldn?t find the hammer you will only get the potion recipe, but will be able to keep the hammer.
-If you tell him you decided to keep the hammer for yourself he and his
bear will attack you. You will not find the potion recipe on his body,
but you will find a nice pair of enchanted boots.
If that made any sense I wouldn't mind getting a few comments. 
Any suggestions for the specifications of the reward items mentioned in the quest would also be nice.

The Gold is to much, a high gold reward in OB was about 200 gold.
But I llike the quest, very nice.
I'm going to slightly change the thread name.

The hammer should be pretty powerful, if you were to sell it to a
merchant for its true price you would no doubt get something around 400
gold from the transaction. I know the gold is a bit much, but the
alternative would be to make the hammer very cheap so merchants would
not pay you too much for it and make the gold reward form the quest
obsolete.

The gold is too much, 200 would would suffice.
