Clue Scrolls in Skyrim - Treasure Trails

Description

Inspired by Oldschool Runescape Treasure Trails and dissatified by the puzzles (snake, snake, whale...) in Skyrim, I decided to make this mod.

Once you've found a clue scroll and read it (technically they are books), you 'll need to solve it. There are 4 different categories: "Anagram", "Hot and Cold", "Cryptic" and "Perform" Clues.

Once you've solved the clue, you'll either get another clue scroll, or a clue chest. The chance to obtain a clue chest will increase depending on the number of clue scrolls you've completed in the chain you're on:

• [] One clue scroll completed -> 10% on a clue chest

  [] Two clue scrolls completed -> 25% on a clue chest

  [] Three clue scrolls completed -> 50% on a clue chest

  [] Four clue scrolls completed -> 75% on a clue chest

• Five clue scrolls completed -> 100% on a clue chest

  Once you've received the clue chest, the percentages will reset to be ready for a next chain. The reward you get will get better when you reach higher levels, but even at level 1, it's quite generous.

  Where to find them

  Clue scrolls have been added to the leveled lists and will show up randomly in boss chests. (chests at the end of a dungeon.) If you don't have any other mods editing the leveled lists, you'll have a 1 in 8 chance to get a clue scroll from a boss chest. Clue scrolls will no longer show up if you already have one in your inventory. So if you have one make sure to complete it.

  I've added an easy to find clue scroll at the top of Whiteriver Watch, near the boss bandit, in a knapsack, next to his chair.

  Anagram Clues

  These clues contain an anagram of a person in Skyrim to talk to.

  For instance, "Dho" -> "Hod"

  Hot And Cold Clues

  This kind of clues require you to search Skyrim and dig up the treasure, using a dwemer apparatus (uses a lesser power) to determine how far away you are.

  To get the dwemer apparatus, you'll need to talk to Calcelmo and either buy, persuade or intimidate him to get one.

  Once you have apparatus, you need to activate in your inventory to receive the lesser power.

  While outside in Skyrim (not in any walled cities), having the apparatus and relevant clue scroll in your inventory, you can use the lesser power.

  It will indicate whether the apparatus feels very cold, cold, warm, hot, very hot or extremely hot depending on how close you are. It will also indicate whether the apparatus feels warmer or colder than when you last checked to help you determine you're getting closer or further away.

  Once you're at the spot, you'll be prompted to dig up the next clue
