     1. Description

*****************************************************************

This is a tweak of one of the original Dark Brotherhood 
quests---The Purification. It gives the player the option to warn 
the targets of assassination, who then fake their own deaths and 
go into hiding. When you reach a certain rank in the Dark Brotherhood,
they return as if nothing had happened. For more detailed information, 
read the spoilers section.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
In The Purification quest, you have to kill all the assassins in 
the Cheydinhal Sanctuary. Originally there's no getting around this, 
but now there is. Upon entering the Sanctuary after receiving your 
orders from Lachance, a new topic will be added--"[whisper a warning.]".
Say this to any of the Sanctuary Dwellers, and after a few seconds
you'll receive a note instructing you to leave the Sanctuary for 2 days. 
If you want to kill any number of them, you still can---the ones you 
didn't kill will be gone when you return, leaving similar-looking 
victims in their places. When you return to Lachance he will believe 
you have followed his orders and the Purification quest is completed. 
After you have finished all the Dark Brotherhood missions and have 
reached Listener rank, the spared Sanctuary Dwellers return.

    2. Version History

*****************************************************************

v1.2 Because of a bug some users have experienced with the bodies 
     not appearing in the Sanctuary, I've added a timer which forces 
     the quest to advance whether they are there or not. If you do
     not get the bodies, wait in the Sanctuary for at least one
     minute, and the journal will update.

v1.1 Fixed a script which allowed the new quest to start too early. 
     Now it can only start when the player begins the Purification
     quest. 

v1.0 initial release

    3. Installation 

*****************************************************************


To install the plugin, simply extract this file into the Data
directory.  Depending upon your installation, it's usually
located here:  C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data

From the Oblivion Launcher, select Data Files and check the box
next to the esp file you choose to load.

To uninstall simply remove the .esp and this readme.

     4. Save Games

*****************************************************************


The plugin should not invalidate your old saved games.  But I make
no guarantee, like when using any new plugin, it is highly
recommended that you make a backup of your saved game.

A general thanks to the Oblivion community for being the helpful
people that they are. In particular, my thanks to Deathbane27 and
