Is it possible to add NPC's via mod or can you rename existing NPC'S? If so how much work would it take to add 5 named NPC's (Arch Mage Matt, Scozzar, Argonanza, Avron the S'wit & Musicman spring to mind but could be anyone on the forums) to hunt down? I'm assuming this doesn't exist already so if does, where can I find it?

This is not only possible but is in fact quite trivial, but I find the idea of slaughtering folks from the forum to be a little creepy. If people volunteer to be added as targets I'd be happy to make such a mod, though. People could say what race and basic appearance they want for their NPC, and each custom NPC could get a fancy weapon that makes them harder to defeat (along with boss-level stats).

I would be glad to be a target.

As no one has disagreed on the time period I'm going to assume a month is fine. In November I'm going to set up a new thread in the Skyrim-General sub-forum. I thought I would set out the challenges as follows:


Who guards the Guards?

Spoiler:
We’ve got another special request.

Mysterious fellah wants a full set of guard armour for each Hold, don’t know what he wants it for, don’t care they’re willing to pay well and that’s all I ask. Get the gear anyway you have to and bring it to me in the Flagon.

Delvin
P.S. Keep this up and you might even impress our little Vex

Challenge - Steal or loot a Guard’s helmet, shield and armour from each Hold and take it to The Ragged Flagon in Riften, dump it, keep it, sell it or reverse pickpocket on to the members of the Thieves Guild.


If anyone wants to help out with writing the letters from in game or made up NPC's (representing the suggester of the challenge), please can you let me know.

Who guards the Guards?:

Spoiler:

Mysterious fellah wants a full set of guard armour for each Hold, don’t know what he wants it for, don’t care they’re willing to pay well and that’s all I ask. Get the gear anyway you have to and bring it to me in the Flagon.

On Behalf of the Synod:

Spoiler:
Malus was sent to obtain certain artefacts from Skyrim. All that remained of our brother were the following scraps of his journal

I sit here now with the Mask in my hands, it still burns despite the power of the frost enchantment I have cast on it

The Mask is calling me, it wants me to wear it, I cannot resist its call much longer.

Who am I? Who am I? I am Otar!

The Synod has a task for you, acquire the masks and bring them to Bromjunaar Sanctuary near Labyrinthian.

Challenge: Fairly simple acquire the Dragon Priest Masks and take them to Bromjunaar Sanctuary


Bandit Bash:

Spoiler:
My friend it has been years since last we met, you were but a scrawny s’wit, yet now I hear that you have been named as Harbinger of the Companions. The Civil War that currently contaminates Skyrim is bad for business, the bandits are growing fat and the guards and Legion are too busy killing each other to protect the rest of us. I am calling in the debt my friend, show the bandit scum no mercy clear them from Skyrim and we are even.

Challenge: Clear the following locations of bandits

Faldor’s Tooth
Fort Greenwall
Treva’s Watch
Liar’s Retreat
Robber’s Gorge
Broken Oar Grotto
Lost Knife Hideout
Mistwatch Keep
Pinewatch
Knifepoint Ridge
Swindler’s Den
Helgen


Lady Deandra’s Recipe Book:

Spoiler:
Easter Egg Pie

7 Easter eggs, each a different color
1 recipe of pie crust

Roll half of the pie crust into a circle and place in a pie pan. Fill the crust with eggs. Roll the remaining dough and cut it into strips, and lay these over the eggs in a crisscross pattern. Bake in a hot oven for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out coated in magicka. Serve before battles by itself or with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Challenge: For PC players only (shame) Find the Easter eggs hidden throughout Skyrim , use 1 of each egg to whip up a tasty pie with a surprising result.


The Black Sacrament:

Spoiler:
"Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear."

As instructed, you are to eliminate UESPF by any means necessary. The Black Sacrament has been performed - somebody wants this poor fool dead.
We've already received payment for the contract. Failure is not an option.
- Astrid

Challenge: For PC Players only - Hunt down the various NPCs named after your friends, frienemiess or enemies on the forum, the full list is as follows:

Music Man
Hissien
Archer of the South
Derp the 53rd
Lachance
Legoless
Sky
Z’Rahk
Clockwork Cadaver
Mod-Loving Wood Elf
No name supplied (Eltee)
M’Stazi
Will gro-Macht,
Justice
Rima Stormborn
Aari Goat-Liver
Believe the Magic Dragon
Mr. Argonian
Mehclalin, Knight Captain
Deandra
Arch-Mage Matt and Avron the Stalwart Horker Manservant (post pictures please!)
Union
Trelares the Fiend
Pete Stone
Casandra Serein (Dark Spark)
Rainbow Fox/Shadow Ladies Choice (name to be decided by Deandra)
Savilius
Zuzu
Breadmax
Dohvakiin
Eastwood
Vendetta
Cowley
Unokitsune
Avron the S’wit

Many thanks to Deandra for all her efforts in turning my daft suggestion in to a Mod.


Sanitatem Imperii:

Spoiler:
Extract from a letter written by Dominus Cardare Uccello - Personal Physician to the Emperor

The Emperor has a rather delicate health problem which requires certain herbs from that dismal backwater Skyrim. Due to the nature of the problem and to ensure the Thalmor or some other unscrupulous groups in the Empire do not hear of it, I have decided to pen a Herbal this will give you reason to go to that frozen wasteland and acquire the necessary ingredients.

Challenge - Collect 6 samples of each plant growing in Skyrim and deliver 5 to the underwater chest near East Empire Company Warehouse, the sixth is for you character to try


Weasel's Bounty Board/Hunting Challenge:

Spoiler:
Details to follow


Weasel's Treasure Hunt Challenge

Spoiler:
Details to follow



The Main Event:

Spoiler:
Skyrim Marathon Skype Party to be held over the weekend of 10th/11th November

Seems good- just a little thing though.
You've left me out of the Black Sacrement.

I seriously cannot wait for this now, I'm leaving Skyrim until this begins, cos it will make it more epic! (maybe)

Actually, I left it mainly cos I got bored of it, but this will help.

I especially like the "bandit killing" one. That will be oh-so-much-fun.

I can still open it, it's just a bit of a mess. The first time, it was a nice tidy list, now it's just jumbled togother into one big-ass sentence.

I had hoped that compacting it might make it work, I've PM Avron so maybe she can figure out how to fix it.

The Forum Member Killing mod is coming along nicely, with about a dozen NPCs done so far, and much of the harder work completed for the rest of them. Stormborn, I'll send you a final list of names and locations once they're completed.

I will not be in The Black Sacrament, as I was sick and never gave Deandra info. But I will be an easter egg with Matt's character, I think. 8)

This is all that is left to be sorted out.

1) Main quest speed run & Skype Marathon – How will these work?
2) Best character (looks) & (backstory) Looks: 6 pictures 2 head (1profile & 1 front), 2 full length (1 indoors & 1 outdoors) & 2 action – If mods or photo tweaking used these should be disclosed not sure if they should be penalised.
3) Videos - including Most glorious death video & most creative use of Fus Ro Dah video what others?
4) Photographic Competition? (Maybe tie this into landmarks or standing stones
5) Clubs/factions Challenges? Werewolves hunt
6) Find all 13 standing stones
7) Pilgrimage from Temple of Divines in solitude round various shrines & Temples and back again
8) Cooking with Skyrim – using Gourmet gaming recipes - video or pics?
9) VirtualWeasl’s – Hunters challenges (with PC exclusive elements) shadowgreen cavern and Bloated man’s grotto are good places to hunt beasties.
10) VirtualWeasel's - Treasure Hunt
11) Easter Egg/Landmark/Item Hunt random location Thingy:
Eldar Gleam Sanctuary/replacing White run tree
Fallen Tree Bridge/find it & kill the bandit
Bard’s Leap/Lost Valley Redoubt
Clear spring Cave/bow of the hunt
Journeyman’s Nook/Borvir’s Dagger
Hag's End/Predator’s Grace
Karthspire Camp/Hagravens, Forsworn and Dragon – uber brawl
Shadowgreen Cavern
Halted Stream Camp/Poachers Axe
Notched Pickaxe/Throat of the World
Darkwater Pass/rescue the argonian miner
Sleeping Tree Camp &Cave/sleeping tree sap + chased by angry giant and his pachyderm lover
Bloated Man’s Grotto /Balor’s Oathblade (only count’s if done outside ill met by moonlight)
Ulfr's book /White River Watch
Lady in the lake
Wampa cave
Fool’s gold Island
Talk to Athis
Billy Goats Gruff

New idea's and help is welcome.

Just a question about the Black Sacrement challenge, I'm asuming that once Deandra is done, the location of each person will be added to the list?

I'd have thought it should be obvious, but I just wanted to check.
(Mainly I just want everyone to go see me as a dragon. Deandra is freakin awesome.)

>gets the hunting challenges all worked out.
>loses post.

On another note, I'd also like to do gathering and treasure hunt challenges if they're not being done already. There may be a reward if there's someone who completes all the challenge categories first. :wink:
