                                   DESCRIPTION

             This is a small quest addition to the Mages' Guild quest
             "A Potion from Skink-in-tree's-shade" from Edwinna
             Elbert in Ald'ruhn, potentially restoring some cut
             content.
             
             If you paid close attention to the dialogue of the quest,
             you may have picked up on the fact that Skink seems to
             have had some trouble delivering the potion. Edwinna
             mentions how long she's been waiting, and Skink is very
             apologetic about it as well, but apparently the potion
             is immediately ready for delivery upon your arrival.

             There is some unused dialogue from Skink about ancestral
             tombs, suggesting there may originally have been more to
             this quest.

             What do ancestral tombs contain? Ghosts!
             What do you get from ghosts? Ectoplasm!
             What's ectoplasm good for? Detect Creatures potions!

             To me at least, it seems clear that the delay was due to
             Skink having trouble sourcing ectoplasm, and he may have
             been meant to send you on an errand to go fetch him some.

             So that's what this mod does. Skink now asks you for
             Ectoplasm and suggests you go looking for it in a tomb.
             
             Ever the diplomat, he's aware that the dunmer get upset
             when you raid their ancestor's final resting places, and
             suggests to find an abandoned one.

             If you wish to figure out the quest on your own, avoid
             the spoilers at the end of this document. If not, refer
             to section 8 of this readme for the solution(s) to the
             quest.


                                   REQUIREMENTS

             Requires Tribunal and Bloodmoon.


                                  COMPATIBILITY

             This mod changes some dialogue and the relevant journal
             topic. Any mod that changes this quest is likely to be
             incompatible. Anything else is likely to be compatible.
             

                                  KNOWN ISSUES

             I've tried to make the dialogue as robust as possible,
             and I've tested everything extensively. If some bug has
             slipped through, please let me know.

                                 VERSION HISTORY

             Version 1.0.0 - Initial release


                                    SPOILERS

             DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WISH TO FIGURE OUT THE QUEST
             ON YOUR OWN.

             Skinks suggests you go find an abandoned ancestral tomb:
             the Tharys Ancestral Tomb, a starter tomb just outside
             of Balmora, which is indeed abandoned as there are no
             living members of the Tharys family.

             However, if you ask the alchemists in town, they'll hint
             about more local resources, and direct you to the tavern.
             The scout at Dirty Muriel's Cornerclub will tell you
             there's are several tombs around Sadrith Mora, and
             suggest one just north of town (which happens to be the
             unremarkable Sadryon Ancestral Tomb, nonetheless filled
             with leveled undead ripe for harvesting).

             If you don't want to go tomb raiding, Skink seems to
             have overlooked the fact that Pierlette Rostorard, just
             down the road from Wolverine Hall, carries Ectoplasm.

             When you return with some Ectoplasm, Skink then sends
             you on another fetch quest for some Bloat, another
             ingredient with the Detect Animal property. Thankfully,
             he knows where to get some: Anis Seloth, the premier
             town Alchemist, sells it.

             Veteran Morrowind players are probably aware that you
             can buy Bloat from Aunius Autrus, just downstairs, as
             well.

             Finally, if you REALLY want to cheese this quest, you
             can buy both Ectoplasm and Bloat from Anarenen in
             Ald'ruhn before heading over to Wolverine Hall.
