Will make this a sketchy lair--drugs, stolen art, Dwemer artifacts and lots of cash. Will be small-ish.

[Aeven]

Grant.

Any progress to report?

[Seneca37]

I know you've been busy with i5-56, but just checking to see if there's any progress on this one.

Any progress to report?

Reading this thread, I don't understand.

The status is 80 % complete yet Sasquatch stated this as done and Aeven supposedly sent it to review.

Is this finished?

[sasquatch2o]

Sasquatch never claimed this was finished, merely sent it to review to take on more claims. The design is done I have another file with majority of objects leveled but it was improperly saved so all moved object would have to be merged with old version into a new file. In short there is a finalized version but it would require more effort. NPC here would be smuggler leader and 3-4 followers and several people being illegally trafficked. Leader has an interest in expensive artifacts and antiques. Some stolen items from nearby travelers or collected from the nearby dwemer ruin are stashed in lower area. This one one the first caves I made so quality is mediocre IMO but worth using with some revision and obsessive leveling.

Revoke.

Ich möchte behaupten. I think maybe a small dwemer lab at the back of the cave would be a good place for the sketchy individuals to collect their goodies.

"behaupten" == claim as in claiming an assertion, not as claiming a job :)

Gewährt!

Please post any updates to the top of the forum, and adjust the %complete as well.

[Dormichigan64]

I actually haven't got the time to work on it very much much lately. I could try and speed up the process up if you would like.

[Seneca37]

Any progress on this? If not, consider returning it to the unclaimed queue.

[Dormichigan64]

I would like to revoke this, please. I haven't had much time to work on it, and I'm afraid I never will.

[Gnomey]

Revoked as per developer request.

[Theminimanx]

Claiming. I'd like to use sasquatch's interior as a basis. His work seems to imply a semi-permanent residency for the smugglers, which I think I can work with. I'll probably be adding some minor alchemical plants near the entrance to hide the cave's true purpose and removing the blocked entrance to the Dwemer ruin.

[Yeti]

Sounds like a solid plan to me. Have fun!

[sasquatch2o]

Could you leave the collapsed tunnel and add another entrance? Maybe a narrow passage player has to swim through to enter a new broken wall on the other side. Something that can be seen but not immediately reached without some effort. Perhaps this could connect with the nearby ruin. From there the passage would be more obvious. Or it may only be a single room with loot for a worthy explorer. Keeping things less accessible makes things more interesting imo, adds depth.

[Theminimanx]

I'd like to keep the dungeon focused on one thing. Making this place both a pit-stop before you try to cross the border and an entrance to a Dwemer ruin would be going a bit overboard in my opinion.
Plus, we don't have an in_dwrv_corr4_05 piece that uses the pycave textures, so the transition would be a bit unnatural.

[Theminimanx]

It's been a while since I've worked on the claim, though I plan to continue work tomorrow. I've got the layout basically the way I want it to (bowl of raw ebony aside), so it's just a matter of fixing the rotation.

[Theminimanx]

Alright, that should be the rotation fixed. There were a few objects that were so heavily bleeding in the original that it had to be intentional, so I left those as they were. Also, cave floors are officially worse than de_p.
