Seeking Your Roots (MS39)

Stage	Finish	setstage Scripts	Journal Entry
10			I've recovered a sprig of Nirnroot. A plant ingredient this unusual must have value. Perhaps I should bring it to an alchemist and find out a little more about it. An alchemist can be found in almost every city in Cyrodiil.
20			The alchemist I've spoken to has referred me to Sinderion in Skingrad. Apparently he specializes in the more botanical aspects of alchemy. I should bring the Nirnroot to him.
30			Sinderion, an alchemist in Skingrad is looking for a rare root known as Nirnroot. According to his research, this rare root can be a powerful ingredient in the creation of a special potion known as the Elixir of Exploration. Because of this, Sinderion has tasked me to find 10 samples of this mystical plant. He indicated a part of the Great Forest to the northeast called Shadeleaf Copse as a good starting point.
40			I have reached The Shadeleaf Copse. I can now begin my search for the Nirnroot.
60			I've now found a total of 10 Nirnroot. I should return to Sinderion in Skingrad so he can begin creating an Elixir of Exploration from them.
65			I've given Sinderion the first 10 samples of Nirnroot. He told me if I wish to have a moderate version of the Elixir of Exploration made, he'd need 20 more samples.
70			I've found 20 more of the Nirnroot. I should return to Sinderion in Skingrad so he can begin creating a moderate version of the Elixir of Exploration from them.
75			I've given Sinderion 20 samples of Nirnroot. He told me if I wish to have a strong version of the Elixir of Exploration made, he'd need 30 more samples.
80			I've found 30 more of the Nirnroot. I should return to Sinderion in Skingrad so he can begin creating a strong version of the Elixir of Exploration from them.
85			I've given Sinderion 30 samples of Nirnroot. He told me if I wish to have a grand version of the Elixir of Exploration made, he'd need 40 more samples.
90			I've found 40 more samples of Nirnroot. I should return to Sinderion in Skingrad so he can begin creating a grand version of the Elixir of Exploration from them.
100	✔		Sinderion informed me that he's exhausted his research regarding the Elixir of Exploration. However, he mentioned that he'd be glad to pay for any more samples of Nirnroot that I can find so he can keep himself supplied with the ingredient. Hopefully, I will come across more in my travels to bring to him.
200	✔		Sinderion has died, and the future of Nirnroot research has disappeared with him.
