Hi guys. This is my attempt at a quest showcase using this quest claim:

 

Lurker in the Mangroves

https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/lake-andaram-lurker-mangroves

 

coc "Andrani Farmhouse" to begin. I suggest using player->addSpell "fire storm" 1 to fight the troll.

 

About the quest:

1. The questgiver isn't too forthcoming about how the player should deal with the troll. This is intentional, to reward players who ask around before charging in.

2. Currently, the troll regen is only disabled by fire damage over time. I intend to figure out how to make it also work with instant fire damage. This is the only bug I'm aware of for the moment. I will try to make a script running on a timer, delaying the adding of its regen ability by 3 seconds.

3. I tried to include all four NPCs present, adding dialogue for all of them both before and after the swamp troll is killed.

4. There is a failsafe upon killing either of the Folvyns, failing the quest

5. Pralec suggested I could also make the questgiver train the player directly, instead of giving them a book. I intended to add this, but got stuck on #2 so will focus on that first for now.

 

Some additional notes:

1. The existing troll needs to be ignored/disabled. Before merging, it needs to be deleted.

2. My .esp was made with the following files loaded: Morrowind.esm, Tribunal.esm, Bloodmoon.esm, Tamriel_Data.esm, TR_Hotfix.esp, TR_Mainland.esp, TR_LakeAndaram_v0101.esp. I also made sure to have the latest TD_Addon from Github.

3. Unrelated note: This map/area has a lot of river / flowing water sounds that feel wrong. They persist well beyond the river, and activate without any water in sight. They also seem a bit loud.

4. I found some floating rocks south-west of the house, by the edge of the cliff. Will post a bug report if I remember.

Updated my file following feedback on Discord.

Merge notes:

1. I edited a "latest rumors" response from the Lake Andaram section file on "TR_m7_Enthys Folvyn". The original needs to be deleted or overwritten.

2. The existing T_mw_fau_TrllSw01 in Coronati Basin 2,-36 in the LA file needs to be deleted.

3. Please edit the guar topic for both TR_m7_Alynu Andrani and TR_m7_Melil Andrani. It mentions guars, which should be edited to guar. Guar is both singular and plural. Guars is not normally used except in error.

4. Please replace the Colovian bread in "Andrani Farmhouse" with Deshaan bread or normal bread.
