Devilish Touch of Madness (OpenMW)

Description

This is a long quest adventure based on skooma consumption induced visual and auditory hallucinations tied to the daedric prince Sheogorath and his artifact the Wabbajack. 

Start the quest by talking to a skooma addict in Old Ebonheart in the alley behind  "The Moth and Tiger" or get very high (stage 5) outside and watch what happens (by consuming two skooma bottles and waiting four / five hours).

A good mod for people who want to stumble into Sheogorath worship.

Quest guide (if you get stuck)

- Start the quest by talking to a skooma addict in Old Ebonheart in the alley behind  "The Moth and Tiger"

- General advice: You often need to be high on skooma / moon sugar to progress the quest. Make sure to bring plenty.

- You reach the hallucination stage 1 by drinking skooma and waiting 3 hours, or smoking moon sugar and waiting 5 hours.

- Don't use too much skooma. The consumption stacks so if you smoke twice you'll get twice as high. Drinking one skooma is more than enough for a strong trip. After six hours you reach the maximum of the dose so you don't get high instantly but gradually. If you overdo it, your vision becomes too impaired to play. You'll need to wait it out then.

-The complete and detailled quest is explained below:

1. (Optional) Old Ebonheart – The Beginning

Hear a rumor in Old Ebonheart about a skooma addict. Behind The Moth and Tiger tavern, an alley runs along the back of the building. Follow it to the end to find a skooma addict. He tells you of a dragon hidden within the Old Ebonheart Mages Guild—visible only to those under the influence of skooma or moon sugar. Alternatively consume enough moon sugar or skooma during the day to reach skooma stage 5 for twenty seconds somewhere outside.

2. Consume skooma and wait about 3 hours until the effects fully take hold. In this state, Ylbert Beluelle can be seen inside the Mages Guild, perched on a ceiling beam on the upper floor.

3. Ylbert Beluelle demands you retrieve a sweetroll from the floor below.

4. Taking the sweetroll triggers a trap curse. You are instructed to speak to Head Wizard Arquebald on the upper floor to remove it.
