Sacrificial Spriggan - Redux

This is a reimagination of the original Sacrificial Spriggan mod made by Stobor. With written permission to do so.

The main focus is upgrading to mod to be fully compatible with DD5 and up. I also plan to add new quests and extend current available quests. Idea's and comments for new content are welcome.

Note due to the partial remake of the intro quest ZAZ is no longer required for this mod.

 

The mod is currently in beta so please keep a clean save and expect problems. Report any bugs in the support thread please.

 

This Mod:

 

Sacrificial Spriggan is a quest mod inspired by the Flowering Spriggan quest from Sanguine's Debauchery, but implemented entirely from scratch. Due to the fact that the key dependency is a female-only armor, this is written for female characters exclusively (though gender checks are not enforced).

 

The Quest:

 

The quest starts some time after completing the quest to rescue Dibella's Sybil from the Forsworn, in the quest The Heart of Dibella. The character gets knocked on the head, and awakens back in Broken Tower faced with a hagraven who is irritated at having her plans spoiled. The hag curses the player character with a gradual transformation, then turns her loose to serve as a living warning to the Forsworn's foes.

 

Intro Quest Summary:

Spoiler

 

  • The intro scene is triggered by sleeping after completing The Heart of Dibella quest. Sleeping in a jail will not trigger it. Wearing a Devious Devices Yoke, (Body) Suit and Collar wil also prevent it from starting.
  • The intro scene in Broken Tower involves a drugged rape, and the character is turned loose with no gear except some restraints. So the first task is to get free, and perhaps regain at least some equipment.
  • The quest for a cure, or at least a temporary halt to the transformation, leads to Whiterun and the Temple of Kynareth. The quest to repair the Gildergreen provides most of what you need.
  • At some point, you will probably want to return to Broken Tower and get revenge (and recover lost gear). But be warned - unlike the original resident of the tower, these opponents are not easy to surprise.

 

 

 

Guardian Quest Summary:

Spoiler

 

  • If you have pruned back Spriggan rootlets at least three times, and visit Eldergleam Sanctuary again (with at least some Spriggan showing), you will meet a pilgrim who can point you towards a possible permanent cure.
  • The quest leads to Froki, and Kyne's Sacred Trials; you must complete at least the first three trials before Froki will tell you where to find the Guardian Spriggan.
  • You must cleanse yourself of all visible Spriggan taint, and bathe in the waters of Eldergleam Sanctuary to ensure that it doesn't regrow, before contending with the Guardian. If you don't make these preparations, the Guardian Spriggan will not appear.
  • Defeating the Guardian Spriggan will remove all traces of the infestation, permanently.

 

 

 

Amulet Quest Summary:

Spoiler

After completing the transformation at least once, speak to Danica in the temple in Whiterun. She will have a dialogue option like "What is troubling you?".

 

Custom Devious Devices Summary:

Spoiler

 

  • Suit
  • Collar
  • Feet
  • Gauntlets
  • Belt
  • Plugs
  • Gag
  • Full face mask

 

Custom Events

  • Belt
  • Boots
  • Collar
  • Suit
  • Gag
  • Gauntlets

 

 

Magical Effects:

 

The magical effects of the Spriggan transformation grow over time, as more of the body is covered. It starts with the torso, then the feet, then the hands, and finally the face. Some effects are permanent, even if the visible part of the Spriggan is removed. Growth is triggered by your spell-casting, as the Spriggan absorbs some of your magic - the more spells you use, the faster the transformation proceeds. When a growth phase starts, you'll need to have sex to complete the process.

  • +20-100 magicka
  • +20-100 stamina
  • 5-25% weakness to fire
  • 5-25% stealth bonus outdoors
  • +15 unarmed damage from claws (when those grow)
  • Hunters and Vigilants will be hostile while any of the Spriggan rootlets are visible
  • Random NPC comments (and other events)


When the Spriggan growth is complete, the following additional effects:

  • +25% alteration spell duration
  • Spriggan Call of the Wild lesser power
  • Spriggans and predators are friendly
  • Face mask acts as a living gag, preventing most speech


The gag effect does not interfere in Kynareth's holy places (the Temple in Whiterun, Eldergleam Sanctuary, High Hrothgar), and can be worked around using writing materials (ink, quill, roll of paper). However, there is a -50% barter penalty in written interactions - Spriggan claws do not make for good penmanship.

 

 

Controlling the Transformation:

Spoiler

 

There are several methods for affecting the course of the transformation:

  • Spriggan rootlets can be shaved off, with Nettlebane and a briar heart. This ability shows as a lesser power in the menus.
  • Bathing in the waters of Eldergleam Sanctuary will prevent further transformation for 3 days. This requires swimming, not just wading, but there are a few spots where the water is deep enough.
  • Once the transformation has been completed at least once, you will gain the ability to deliberately force it along (if you shaved some of the rootlets off, and want to regrow at a time and place that's convenient).

 

 

Credits:

  • Stobor - For the original mod and permission for me to make and post this redux
  • Nalim - Spriggan Armor (according to fair use policy)
  • MyFirstPony - Spriggan face mask
  • Caliente  - Nocturnal meshes (added a transparency layer to the NIF)

 

Requirements:

  • Fully patched Skyrim with all DLC and latest SKSE
  • Latest Sexlab LE
  • Latest Sexlab Aroused (Redux recommended)
  • Latest Devious Devices - Including Expansion and Contraptions
  • Fuz Ro Do'h (soft requirement but kinda mandatory for dialogue driven mods of course)

 

Known Conflicts/bugs:

  • The Flowering Spriggan quest from SD+ for obvious reasons
  • Devious Devices in conflicting slots. The mod tries to check for these but it's not 100% and will break progression
  • Mobs attack scene at the start of the Harvest quest is a bit flaky. Way around this is to select them in the console and type 'disable'
