📋 About This Mod

If you were really keen on exploring Vvardenfell, you may have noticed, that some dungeons (caves, Velothi towers etc.) have non-hostile NPCs, who clearly stand out from the rest of NPCs of the dungeon. This mod gives a purpose to them, they are hostages now, captured by the inhabitants of the dungeon (smugglers, bandits, rogue Telvanni etc.). Kill the bad guys in the dungeon and talk with the peaceful NPC to see them expressing their gratitude for freeing them, and to get a reputation point.

- A purpose given for vanilla, unused dungeons

- An incentive for exploring random dungeons, get a reputation point after each saved hostage

- An opportunity to roleplay a righteous character, who saves these poor hostages

- A unique background story for each hostage, to make the world feel more alive: A Khajit thief who tried to steal from a rogue Telvanni, a girl captured by bandits and so on!

- Very lightweight and compatible with probably everything: Only new dialogue is added, both the NPCs and the dungeons are vanilla. No journal entries either: You kill the bad guys of the dungeon, talk with the hostage, - listen to their story - get the reputation point, the hostage disappears, (leaves the dungeon) and you are forced to exit the dialogue, so no way of stacking reputation points, oh you sinful cheesy cheater, you!

There are altogether four hostages for you to save, scattered around in the vanilla dungeons of Vvardenfell. If you're interested in which dungeons they are located in, without wanting to play the mod, be an adult person, and check it in the CS yourself, instead of bugging me, thank you!

The mod has been cleaned with TESAME, and should provide a bug-free experience.
