This consists of a large chamber with two antechambers. In the first antechamber we create a cell by placing a door in the corridor. We can use this to house NPC ''BGBrown''. Remember, Brown must be added to the separate prisoner faction. | This consists of a large chamber with two antechambers. In the first antechamber we create a cell by placing a door in the corridor.

I also want to make sure that the player, no matter how good they are at sneaking, will be forced to confront Blair. How do we do this? Easy, we script it. We will also design the quest so that you will have to kill Blair to move on to the next stage. We can also do this through scripts. | I also want to make sure that the player, no matter how good they are at sneaking, will be forced to confront Blair. How do we do this? Easy, we script it.

''I have killed Blair. I should search his body for the deed and house key. I should also see if he has a key to Brown's cell. I can then return to the Imperial City to see Vilanus.'' | ''I have killed Blair. I should search his body for the deed and house key. I should also see if he has a key to Brown's cell.

===Setting up Brown=== | |||
We can set up an optional reward for players who choose to free Brown from his cell. Open up Brown's form and make sure he doesn't have a high aggression level, just to make sure Brown won't attack the player on sight. Iit should at least be lower than whatever positive disposition you gave the prisoner faction towards the player, but it wouldn't hurt to just set it to 0. | We can set up an optional reward for players who choose to free Brown from his cell.
