Gweden Brothel, an ever-growing series of side-quests Options

[ghastley]

I'm starting a thread in this section so I can move discussion of the development out of the Fiction thread.

The Red Dragon Club arc of quests is getting another one added, related to the attempt on the life of the Mane. The player manages to head off one assassin, but there may be others (which means I can use the same idea multiple times!) The Bosmer woman (archer) that was recruited to do the job is persuaded to join the staff of the Club instead. I just have to fix a few bugs in the AI packages for her Khajiit handler and then I may put up another file at the Nexus, and let a few more folks try it.

If he's essential, he still gets into a fight with the guard, which I want to prevent.

I haven't decided where Lathenil should "go into hiding" as he writes in Rising Threat III "I went into hiding, waiting anxiously for word of the Thalmor's activities back on Summerset Isle." One possibility is Gweden Farm! Especially if I have Silanu help him work on his anger management.

His narrative indicates that he survived longer than Ocato, and only got to meet him just before he was assassinated in 4E10 if his "decade of machinations" is an accurate figure. That should make him a useful character for other quests, if I can think of them.

Will that conflict with your ridable bears mod? (Since Ocato is very active in that one).

Raising the guards disposition toward Lathenil if the player attacks him won't work, they will kill the player.

No, the report to Ocato, via the Red Dragon Club, will be that Lathenil is a bit crazy and probably to be avoided at present. It will take a lot of additional evidence against the Thalmor before he gets Ocato's ear. That's one reason for the assassins taking an interest in the player - to make association with Lathenil dangerous.

I just moved the action from outside on the docks to inside the Count's Arms, and no guards burst in to make a nuisance of themselves! Now I need to bring in a guard that will arrest him, rather than attack, and I can get on with the rest of the quest.
