Creeper the Scamp Merchant

Creeper the Scamp Merchant

Requirements:

xOBSE

Description

This mod adds Creeper, the friendly scamp merchant from Morrowind. Creeper can be summoned once per day using a greater power, and will exchange any items you give it for gold instantly.

You can sell items to Creeper by activating it, which opens the container menu. Give items to Creeper and close the menu to complete the transaction. The gold you gain for items is calculated using the vanilla formulas, except that any bonus from disposition is ignored to balance the convenience. Creeper has 500 gold to barter with, plus 100 gold for each merchant that you have invested in. The Master Mercantile perk also adds extra gold just like for other merchants. You will gain Mercantile skill as normal for any items sold to Creeper.

Creeper will not buy Ayleid statues or stolen items if you are not a member of the Thieves Guild. Such items are returned to your inventory when the menu is closed.

A tome containing the greater power can be found in the depths of the Ayleid ruin Varondo north of Kvatch.

I made this mod to provide a portable but balanced alternative to my Shipping Chests mod. This removes the tedium of selling lots of items to merchants later in the game.

Background: Creeper was one of the two creature merchants in Morrowind. It was added as a joke, but the devs forgot to remove it, so a legend was born.

Installation

This mod requires xOBSE

Standard installation procedure: install with your mod manager of choice and activate. I recommend Mod Organizer 2.

An optional patch is provided to decrease Creeper's barter gold to match changes in Lower Merchant Gold. This patch is bash mergable.

Uninstallation

Simply remove the mod.

Compatibility

This mod uses the unused summon magic effect (Summon 20) to implement Creeper so that it behaves just like vanilla summons. Any other mod that uses this magic effect will conflict. A patch could be made using Oblivion Magic Extender.
