1. Description
********************************************************************************

 Excerpt from The Traveller's Guide to Dining:

 Ald'ruhn Council Club - (Rating: 1 Gold; Bottle Award)

 The Ald'ruhn Council Club, owned and operated by Darvam Hlaren, is the local watering hole in Ald'ruhn. This tavern is completely unremarkable in its selection of food - comprising only a couple of snacks plus the ubiquitous ash yam pie - but is very remarkable in the variety of beers (7), meads (14), and spirits (19) offered - hence the bottle award. Enjoy a quiet drink with a friend downstairs, engrossing discussions with the owner, or perhaps some lively entertainment from a local bard.

 Features:
 - The ability to buy a wide variety of drinks and a few snacks
 - A regenerating free snacks bowl
 - Extensive dialogue for Darvam Hlaren, which may vary based on race, gender, faction, elapsed time, weather, disposition, and current events
 - The ability to get directions to numerous local persons, places, and services
 - A few intriguing papers here and there for flavor, some of which may lead to topics for certain NPCs
 - A beautiful book created by Stuporstar
 - Rumors that change on a daily basis and have an element of randomness
 - Works with LGNPC

 Oddities:
 - Some snacks are implemented as blue pots (since I have no modelling skill). The justification is that they're in convenient containers for carrying around.
 - Some snacks are alchemy objects so that they can give effects when eaten. Unfortunately, this means that they make bubbling sounds.

 WARNING:
 - You have only one opportunity to respond to the reading question. There is no right or wrong answer. Role-play it.

 Run "Morrowind Launcher.exe", select the Data Files option, and double-click TGD02_AldruhnCouncilClub.esp to enable it, or use Wrye Mash or your favorite plugin management program.

 NOTES:

 * For best effect, make sure this plugin loads *AFTER* (has a newer date than) LGNPC.

 * The Extras folder contains images of various papers included in this plug-in. If you wish to experience them in the game first, do not look in this folder until later.

 plugin, or use Wrye Mash or your favorite plugin management program.

********************************************************************************
5. Conflicts
********************************************************************************

 None found during testing in a heavily modded game, but will conflict with any other plugin that puts objects in the same locations as this plugin or removes any furniture or objects on which or in which new objects from this plugin are situated.

 In a heavily modded game you may notice a slight slowdown in dialogue response.

********************************************************************************
6. Notes for Modders
********************************************************************************

 Dialogue Function Weather does not work for characters that are in interior cells. The workaround is to use a script to set a local or global variable that is accessible to the dialogue.

   Script Example:  set tgd02_DHCurrWeather to GetCurrentWeather
   Dialogue Example:  Global tgd02_DHCurrWeather = 2
