Vaults

Problbly be mentioned but what about the Dres vaults? Those are gonna be awsome.

I agree, I believe I read somewhere that the Dres' wealth surpassed that of Hlaalu. How much fun they wll be to rob

That is if you can find them, remember how Telvanni's Vault was? Imagine that and having to find it, I doubt it would be easy.

Ughhhh, suddenly I think my thief is gonna go broke... No mater. I will simply have to do without the vaults....for a time

Tellvanni vault had like 8 gaurds. This will have like 13. Also the redoran vaults were 2 parts sort of. So the could be 2 buildings. Also there could be another Hlallu vault in Narsis. It would make sense. So thus more Hlallu wealth so..... DRES has even bigger vaults. but imagine raiding every vault overnight! That is what morrowind was mad for. If they had newspapers it would say Dres, Redoran, Hlallu, and Telvannis coffers have been emptied! 43 gaurds found dead! A reported 8 million septims in wealth is gone! The vaults have been emptied!....then it would say, "some guy who calls himsaelf the Neverar reborn has purchased the city of Narsis."

better pack alot of Sajumma and Mazte to kill 43 guards and buy out that packrat service in mournhold to ship it all. Yeah thats not obvious. The house banks were all just robbed everyones in panic with one drunken fool runing around with 16 packrats following him. Nope, I haven't seen anything unusual officer.

When I was refering to Telvanni Vault I was refering to the fact that it was designed as a trap. You would pick the lock and enter to find yourself in front of 3 storm daedra, if you could'nt handle them(like a noob trying to get rich fast) then when you turn around you find the door is locked still, also if you die you think that htere is no treasure because you didn't see any in the room. Dres will likely be traped as well, to catch noobs off guard and maybe even higher level characters. We will of course make it known that the vaults are the richist, just to encourage them to try.

ahh hha yes

spill the blood of the innocennt

but Dres wont jip you like Telvanni right? I acually built my character, defeated the atronarchs, had spells to get away, and right about then i thought I was about to be the richest man....Argonian in Morrowind, expecting to find soul gems worth over ...oh you could only imagine. Then I see three little chests backed up in the corner with emeralds and rubys in them..... Humph!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THEN i COULD JUST HERE ALL THE Telvanni council simaltianiously laughing at me, Just laughing and laughing and laughing. Make it stop

...

Dres will not be that way right????

I've decided long ago that when Morrowind is finished that I will join House Dres. So it would be cool if you were in House Dres if you could purchase your own little storage vault. Very expencive I might add, and spacious but not to large. Whatever.

Nomadic1 · Post by **Nomadic1** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 8:46 am

Actually... I could imagine the Dres with tonnes of jewels. My take on what I reckon their vaults would be like are:
1) You enter the vaults
2) Just a few chests full of gold and jewels, guarded heavily of course
3) But under the giant palace in Tear is another vault, more secret
4) Even heavier guard, maybe even had it so intervention and recall don't work (I'm evil

) and the guards can always see you, no matter how much you sneak or use chameleon

Maybe not, but it would be a load of fun.

Hmm... does giving a guard CE detect creature allow them to 'see' invisible and sneaking foes?

Wouldnt all the great houses also have their vaults on the mainland? I know three of them have vaults on Vvardenfell but that cant be all of it.

Sorry it seems like a hassle to have to put a .jpg file to .rar but it wont let me upload anything else.

Green-Gaurd
Blue-Secret door
Red-Locked/trapped
purple-treasure, loot
grey-BADASS MONSTER READY TO KILL YOU
black-normal door

This is my version of the Dres vaults. You keep thinking you've found the real treasure vault untill you see the hidden door and get into the next one. And it keeps going on until you find the real vault

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 9:41 pm

looks good but the hidden doors will have to be very secret very hard to find. And, the map will have to be disabled so you can't look at it for the any kind of clues.

TÃƒÂºrelio · Post by **TÃƒÂºrelio** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 9:45 pm

Well pesonally I don't want it to be a big dungeon like that, it can be deadly and confusing while much smaller, trust me.

Also we can make each room a seperate interior, so the map isn't a big deal.

Suhn Tarsis · Post by **Suhn Tarsis** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 9:48 pm

perhaps place the hidden doors behind tapestry or somthing along that line. Very good though, very evil

Zalzidrax · Post by **Zalzidrax** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 9:52 pm

And remember to give the guards the tools to thwart "cheap" tactics. Like dispels to stop those potion chugging psychos.

if you do that you will be able to see the little squares that signifies a door that loads.

there is also always the option of putting a large black object over an are, that might work but i am not sure.

Psyborg · Post by **Psyborg** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:15 pm

Hm... perhaps you could script it so the doors were actually walls until you found a description of where the doors were. Such as a 'thieve's helper' that you get after completing such and such a quest for joe schmoe the elder thief. Just replace the walls with doors

TÃƒÂºrelio · Post by **TÃƒÂºrelio** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:20 pm

Or secret doors that are activated by a switch. You might be able to tell there is a passage behind a wall(tapping on the walls) but you wouldn't know how to open it without looking around.

Zalzidrax · Post by **Zalzidrax** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:49 pm

One torch bracket opens the wall, the others fry you or paralyze you and summon daedra or something else evil...

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 11:27 pm

I like that idea with the torch daedrea! But, you would have to make somthing where you can find it easier.

Nairb · Post by **Nairb** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 11:43 pm

use activators as doors. the acttivators would have no name.

I hate to have repeat my posts but here it goes.

Wouldnt all the great houses also have their vaults on the mainland? I know three of them have vaults on Vvardenfell but that cant be all of it.

I remember taking my mage-thief on Xbox into each of the Great House vaults and robbing them blind. Up until that point, I had been using Hlallo and Nerano Manors in Balmora to store all my stolen stuff, but after ripping off the vaults, they couldn't hold it all anymore. Especially when you factor in all the loot I was getting from Daedric Shrines and Dwemer Ruins. Lots of fun!

That's what I thought, friend.

Hmmmm.... Glad you like my crappy MS paint drawing. One door could be trapped and have a huge pile of crates infront of it. Hard to see.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:17 am

How would you move the crates?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:19 am

youd look at the to corner of the crates.

Veet · Post by **Veet** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:36 am

Yes Arthmodeus I think it rather likely that you would find some vaults in Port Telvanis and Narsis as well perhaps even more in Almalexia.

And everyone....when thinking of how to make the Dres vaults dificult to rob do not forget the fact that the faction is secretly run by vampires. Theres tons of fun stuff you can have go on with that little tidbit.

Suhn Tarsis · Post by **Suhn Tarsis** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:44 am

What?!?!?!?!

Dres?

Vampire administration?

! I did not know that. this has taken me completly by surprise, but then again I knew very little about house Dres before coming to TR, so. But wait how is that possible? Morroindians hate vampires, they clam they burned them all out, but instead one of their houses is administrated by vampires. You are right though, we can have tons of fun with that.

hehehehe,

Garinator · Post by **Garinator** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 7:31 am

yea they kept it a secret from the temple and besides i dont think the temple would dare challenge a great house over rumors and hearsay. Theyd have 2 have some solid evidence and how they gonna get that with vamps guarding it? 8)

Suhn Tarsis · Post by **Suhn Tarsis** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 7:38 am

ahh haa, well put, It really is bad to be the temple. its prophacy is wrong its gonna be proven wrong, it can't stand up to the houses, many people hate it, and Azura wants you to bring its destruction. Nope being the temple isn't an assuranse of a bright future.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 8:09 am

Howbout their vaults are stuffed in the bottom a a big labrinth 6 stories underground where you cant see anything.

Suhn Tarsis · Post by **Suhn Tarsis** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 8:43 am

yes, yes, good idea! and put a big minotour in it like in that Greek legend.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 9:20 am

And, then put vampires in the maze with invisiblty on. so when they jump out to attack you will sh!t in your pants!

What are you talking about? What prophacy? Cannot stand up to the Houses? The Tribunal Temple is MADE of the Houses, especially Redoran and Indoril.

If the Temple knew of the vampires they would certainly take it apon themselves to do something about it. Also, their are not Morrowidians, they are called Dunmer, you know the Darkskined Mer of Morrowind. And for the most part Vampires are NOT looked apon very well in their cultrure. Notice, House Dres is SECRETLY run by vampires, so it is not very well known, and at best a far fetched rumors.

The thing is that the Temple does not need solid evidence, if it thought there were Vampires. However, Dres is on good terms with Indoril and the Temple, they have done them great deeds in the past, even though they do not worship the Tribunal, Dres respects it a great deal and Temple Priests have great respect in Dres territory.
