Oblivion talk:The Master's Son

Added page link to "Dagger of Pain". Hoping to eventually link this and other quest rewards to a "Quest Attainable Items" sub-section of "Items", or similar. Jondrasar 22:16, 7 April 2006 (EDT)

Adding the quest rewards is a nice idea, but they are given based on a leveled list. I think there are ~100 possible rewards for just this quest. According to the Construction Set the quest reward for this quest is an enchanted blade. Stuckshut 21:52, 10 April 2006 (EDT)

This does need cleanup. I'll rework it, should be done in a few days. Peace---Verin Sedai 15:29, 16 November 2006 (EST)]

It appears this quest is a prerequisite to "More Unfinished Business". I could not progress to "More Unfinished Business" until completing "The Masters Son".

Broken Shield

Any idea what the broken shield is about? I picked it up when I found the body of Galtus Previa in Nonwyll Cavern. When I got back to Modryn Oreyn and reported the job done, I had an extra topic, found this shield next to the body. Modryn then gave a dialouge about the symbols on the shield looking familar and another topic choice appears "What is it?" which Modryn replies along the lines of nothing to discuss at this time. He takes the shield at the end of the dialouge. DarkElfsk 23:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

It's a broken Blackwood Company shield (its id is FGD03BlackwoodShield). Modryn is obviously getting suspicious about them. I'll correct the article to reflect that. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

You don't need to use CS to check the shield. If, when you first find it, instead of picking it up you use the Grab function you can turn in around, which will clearly reveal its nature. 80.240.19.148 19:37, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Quest Reward

Because of a recent edit that added another possible quest reward, I went to the CS to check its accuracy. But when I looked at the quest, there doesn't seem to be anything that would add it, such as player.additem. I checked the quest's script as well, but there was nothing involving the reward either. Can anyone help me here to find it? --DKong27 ^{Talk Cont} 16:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't remember ever getting a blade as a reward either... I looked at the CS script for the quest and I see nothing that would add a sword. I'll take it off. --Alpha Kenny Buddy 17:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I got a dagger, i remember it was ebony and did frost damage but forgot how much exactly

Mud Crab?

Sorry this has nothing to do with the quest but why is there a Mud Crab along with two trolls in the picture? I never found any Mud Crabs when I was there. Count Marius Caro 20:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

As it says on the location, there is a nuisance animal. Checked in the CS, there is 2/3 chance of rat and 1/3 of mudcrab. --DKong27 ^{Talk Cont} 20:56, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Modryn Oreyn Losing Gear

This note:

"Sometimes if you fast travel from the cave, Modryn Oreyn loses some of his gear"

was removed with this explanation:

"This is NOT a bug. His armor degrades and breaks down to 0 durablility and he automatically unequips it upon fast travel. All NPCs will act accordingly in the same situation."

I can't find any info that indicates that this can occur with all NPCs. Can somebody verify this? --Xyzzy^Talk 05:11, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Is the explanation actually referring to Viranus Donton? What is observed with Viranus is that after a fight, he keeps his armor on (even though it is degraded to 0). On first entering another interior or exterior cell he is not wearing it, and holds the broken set in inventory. On a game reload of where the battle took place, it appears that, on entering the new cell, he still wears the armor, indicating it has been repaired, and isn't accessible through inventory anymore.--Lmstearn (talk) 14:06, 24 May 2014 (GMT)

I just did this quest, and Viranus Donton (not Modryn) lost his armor at the moment we entered Chorrol through the north gate. We did not fast travel. The explanation about his equipment being damaged makes sense. I was at level 26, so he took quite a beating. Plus, I brought him along to two other loot targets before Nonwyll.
