Scc0436 [Finished]

[Sniper4]

Since the morgue is the centerpiece of my Three Part Claim Cluster (TPCC), all further updates will be posted here. To refresh, the TPCC consists of the following claims:

SCC0436: The morgue, and home of the healer Nalit Deras
SCC0335: The home of morgue worker Tumdril Ules and his brother, Sethros.
SCC0430: The home of morgue worker Ernnos Davor (top floor) and the married couple Idrothyn and Telyne Marvos (bottom floor)

As an update, I am pleased to announce that all interior modding, pathgrids, AI, and basic dialogue for these three interiors is now complete. Now, I'm going to add a simple quest (detailed below) and do a full re-test on all three interiors and all NPCs.

To review our cast of characters:
Nalit Deras: The morgue healer. He deals with morgue visitors and prepares the bodies for funerary rites and cremation. He has retired from healing the living. He can explain Dunmer lore regarding death and ancestor veneration to the player. He's very proud of Dunmer customs.

Tumdril Ules: The charismatic morgue worker. He deals with morgue visitors when Nalit isn't available and handles much of the morgue paperwork. He also takes care of his brother, Sethros. Very friendly and personable.

Sethros Ules: Tumdril's mentally handicapped younger brother. He wishes someone would hire him. He likes to draw in his free time, and he collects colorful trinkets (quills, game pieces, cloths, etc). Very sweet, though a bit mischievous. See SCC0335 thread for a bit more detail on him.

Ernnos Davor: The strong morgue worker. He's too crude to be allowed to interact with the visitors, so Nalit has him stay in the morgue proper, except to eat lunch. His job is doing the "heavy lifting" (lifting and moving the bodies, of course). He's... not exactly a warm, fuzzy guy . The classic rude Dunmer.

Idrothyn Marvos: No connection to the morgue. He's an aspiring author with no focus. Completely scatter- brained and a bit arrogant.

Telyne Marvos: No connection to the morgue. Idrothyn's wife. She's frustrated with her husband's failure as an author, as well as his stubbornness. She wishes Idrothyn would get a "real" job to better support her and her dreams of escaping poverty.

Quest Plan:

This is the quest for the player who likes to collect things! Sethros has noticed that some folks in Silgrad have colorful quills. Sethros only has a black quill, and he wants the player to find him a red quill, a yellow one, and a blue one. He likes to draw, and he'd like it if he could draw with different colored quills, just for a bit of variety in his life . Of course, Tumdril could afford to buy his little brother some quills, but he doesn't have the time to go on a scavenger hunt to collect the different colors.

If the player succeeds, Sethros gives the player one of his drawings (in terms of game mechanics, a piece of paper with bracketed text explaining what's on the drawing), and the quills are proudly displayed in Sethros's house.

I plan to keep the morgue quest- free for now, since I have an idea where it may be used in a faction quest later on down the road.
