Any idea what happened to Casta Scribona? : IV

» Mon Aug 22, 2011 3:19 am

So my vampire character went after Casta Scribona, breaking into her home and then biting her neck in the middle of the night a few times. At least twice but maybe 3x. I targeted Casta because she's kind of annoying. She brags about her book "Woman Gone Wild" all the time, which does not exist.

Anyways, at some point, Luci (that's my vamp) got this huge bounty and couldn't just go back into Chorrol without sneaking around invisibly. I'm not getting rid of her bounty...it's kinda fun being notorious. Anyways, she went back to Casta's house on two different nights, only to find she's no longer there.

I know NPCs can't become vampires after we bite them (lame). But is there the possibility Casta's behavior changed? Maybe there's some glitch or whatever that made her vanish from the game? Since Luci has a bounty, she can't jsut go looking around Chorrol endlessly without getting questioned/attacked.

I'll help.

Casta Scribonia begins her day after getting out of bed at 6am, at which point she will wander around her home for the next two hours. Once two hours have passed by exploring her home she will leave her house and head to the Southern Gate and chat with passers by for the next four hours. At noon she will seek out Orok gro-Ghoth for a meeting. After speaking with Orok, Casta Scribonia will return home at 2pm. She will continue exploring her home for another two hours, after which she will visit the local Mages Guild to see Contumeliorus Florius. After visiting Contemeliorus she will head to The Oak and Crosier for dinner. After her meal she will return home for the day around 8pm, where she will continue her earlier task of exploring her residence. Finally, she will retire to her bed at midnight, where she will sleep until 6am to repeat her schedule.

Bugs
Casta is supposed to visit Orag gra-Bargol at noon instead of Orok, who she was supposed to meet at 2pm. Likewise she is supposed to go to Renoit's Books at 6pm instead of The Oak and Crosier, which she should have visited at 8pm.

Thanks, I aready visited UESP though, it dosn't help. According to that page, Casta is supposed to return home at midnight, and my vamp definately got into Casta's home after midnight. No Casta. Luci the vamp even waited in Casta's home (in real-time) and Casta never showed up.

Now I'm super-curious. I'm thinking of getting rid of that bounty just to see if Casta got killed or something.

Like you, the first thing I did was check her schedule in UESP; specifically to see if she ever travelled (exposing herself to a death on the roads). Nope. Perhaps she somehow got into a tussle in town and got herself killed. It might take some creativity for a vampire, but you might try to see if she is following any part of her normal schedule.
