"Avast, dog!"

— Corsair

In Skyrim, there is a random encounter that can trigger after completing the quest "Rise in the East", featuring two Blood Horkers ambushing you to avenge their fallen crew. The intriguing aspect of this encounter is that it contains a few lines of unique dialogue not said by any other Blood Horker or similar pirate throughout the entire game.

I have taken it upon myself to assign these lines to select pirate and sailor enemies where I deemed it appropriate. It's worth noting that these new lines are exclusively available for the MaleNord voicetype.

• []Replaces generic combat barks for pirate and sailor enemies with new unique ones.[/]

  []3 new barks in total: "Yarr!", "Avast, dog!", and "Die, ya cowardly lubber!".[/]

  []Compatible with virtually everything.[/]

  This mod edits no vanilla records and should be compatible with virtually everything.
