MS Emma has arrived in the Waterfront harbour carrying a dreadful cargo. Follow the footsteps of a sailor called Stephan Costigan and face an ancient darkness lurking beneath the Temple of the One.

This mod adds a small quest and a medium sized dungeon complex to the Imperial City. Begin your quest at the Waterfront warehouses.

This mod has been cleaned with TES4EDIT and should be compatible with 98% percent of the mods out there. Shivering Isles required.

Once again this mod would not exist without the great work of individuals far more talented than myself. Here are the resources I used for this mod:

Barabus' Crypt set
Phitt's old school dungeons and Lich King
Mr Siika's Necropolis & dwarven tileset and bats
LittleBarons Ghouls and Mummies
Spiders - Cryonaut (model edit / rigging), Xmarksthespot (UVmapping), Grimeath (texture), Renzeekin (Tropical Skin)
Staff of Magnus model by Havelock and Dorje
Ghogiel's Jian model

My greatest apologies if I left someone out. Please inform me if this is the case.

This mod is free to be translated and distributed by anyone.

WALKTHROUGH and README available via the options panel on the download page (View ReadMe link)

more clues how to progress thorugh the quest

" 'cause there is never enough dungeons "

You took the words right out of my mouth. Off to download. :bolt:

That actually looks really cool. I think I'll try it.

Downloaded, because I like dungeons. I'll probably be able to PM your brain directly before I actually play it though.

Seconded. I like the looks of this! Is there a recommended minimum level for the mod?

Not really, I'm playing it with level 10 character on a medium level and it is fairly challenging. No god like enemies here (except one, but he has a weak spot too). My original idea was to expand all of the cathedral crypts Diablo style, but at the moment my time is limited to accomplish such a task.

So I found the notice and read it... and nothing happened. Was something supposed to happen? I even went to find the person named in the notice (trying to avoid spoilers here), but he had nothing to say. What do I do now?

Check the View ReadMe link on the download page, it contains the walkthrough.

Oh.

Yeah, didn't bother to check that, might have been a better choice (if I'll ever upload another version I might change this). The start might make this mod actually a bit questionable for those who want to play as "lawful good" characters.

Just completed the dungeon, the interior design is really cool. Good job. ^_^ Might be good idea to change the colour of the text on the loading screens, they're illegible for me on DarkUI. Now for some minor nitpickings..

Good points, all of them. The thing about getting rewards from the Watch was a thing considered, but decided to leave it due to lack of time. The quest start can be a bit tricky as many people have noted. I, on the other hand, kind of like the fact that sometimes the only way to start a quest is by accident (in this case being a burglar who comes across a dusty journal). My first intention was not to even put out a notice on the door, making it into a secret quest. But I totally understand if people want immediately to start the quest after downloading the mod.

My own playing philosophy is more the along lines of coming across things in the gameworld and following the leads along the way rather than intentionally go after some quest or artifact.

The big boss is somewhat of a instakiller if you don't have the correct tools to bring about his demise. I don't personally use PPP, so I don't know how it interacts with my mod.

I'm not sure if I can do anything about the DarkUi thing, since I can't change the text colour via the Loadscreen editor in CS (and I don't use DD either). It is unlikely I will be making any big updates for this mod, since I'm still trying to release a mod or two before Skyrim gets out. That is more dungeons to delve..

I finished this earlier. Nice dungeon - a lot of cool design that you don't see in other mods. The treasure fit well (it was almost too low), and the monsters were good (a little tough, but I'm using FCOM and have an underpowered L9, so take it FWIW ) - also something you never see elsewhere. This mod goes well with FCOM - I saw lots of Frans' undead in there along with the normal stuff. I managed to kill the end boss without cheating (I only figured it out because you said he had a weakness ).

I also like to just stumble across quests, but like I mentioned earlier - not all of us play burglars. Maybe leave the journal in the Bloated Float common room? I can't see a reason for it being in the warehouse, and you can then get rid of the notice as well.

I second some of omeletted's comments and have a few issues of my own:

The thing with the pit is intentional, but may be too hard to figure out. Same goes with the sealed wall, you need to know a bit of yokudan lore to see the purpose of certain items. The grammatical mistakes are there due to the fact that I'm not a native english speaker, so there is probably a fair a mount of incorrect word ordering. The typos can be "explained" by the fact that the author was on a ship full of crazy cultist while writing his journal
But yeah, the beginning of the quest is something I'm really considering to change, the thing about the journal being on the Bloated float is a good Idea.

I enjoyed this mod very much... thank you for making it.

Some different and interesting locations/visuals and enemies. I had to use the walkthrough twice...

Thanks for the feedback. I am actually making a renewed version at the moment in which these matters are addressed. The next version will be more "logical" and player friendly.

Yeah... most players wouldn't know Yokudan lore, since it's never figured into any of the games.


You did a good job for all that. If you want, I can do some editing.


Cool.

Hi folks! Just updated the file, thanks to Walker for some great suggestions!
