Now it is time to add another NPC, some creatures, and some more scripting to the quest. I decided that this would make a good location for a small battle with some undead creatures. First I duplicated Hannibal Traven the same way that I duplicated the other NPC to create a ghost of Fasriel. Since I don't want anything to happen before the Player shows up, I also check the ''Initially Disabled'' checkbox and place the ghost in front of the stone that his body is hidden behind. Then I duplicated the ''LL1UndeadLvl100'' LeveledCreature list by changing the ''ID'' to ''SC1UndeadLvl100'' and removed the skeletons and zombies.

Then I duplicated the ''LL1UndeadLvl100'' LeveledCreature list by changing the ''ID'' to ''SC1UndeadLvl100'', checking the ''Initially Disable'' checkbox, and removed the skeletons and zombies. I placed five of these to each side of Fasriel's ghost with the the ''Reference Editor ID'' being ''UndeadX'' where X is a number from 1 through 10. With Fasriel's ghost and the ''SC1UndeadLvl100'' markers placed, its time to move on to the scripting part of this expansion of the quest. | ||
Going back into the main script for the quest, I add three ''Short'' variables named ''Counter'', ''DoOnce'' and ''EnableRef'' as well as the additional scripting just before the ''End'' of the ''GameMode'' block: | |||

This initiates and runs the battle as soon as the Player shows up at the ''FasrielGhostMarker'' activating and deactivating two of the ''SC1UndeadLvl100'' leveled lists at a time until all ten have been activated and deactivated. | |||
