History
The seeds of this mod
were sown during a discussion on the merits of creating and publishing smaller
mods as an attempt to fuel further interest in Tutu modding, and to increase
the likelihood of updating and improving on said small mods. The premise is
that once you have something released, people will find things that could be
better, things that are wrong with it, and ways it could be expanded upon. The
creator can build on that as time goes on. In its current state, the Tutu
version of the Sirine's Call has been converted for use with BGT-WeiDU.
The mod itself takes
place in the coastal area south of Candlekeep, and involves the lighthouse, the
treasure cavern, the sirines dwelling along the beach, and worgs. Also pirates. Everyone loves pirates. At the end of it all
you should have either a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, or a bunch of loot.
This quest will especially appeal to druids, though any class can play it
without missing any content, dialogue, or equipment.
Explore the southern
part of the lighthouse map (AR9500.are) to start the quest.
Check the spoilers section for more info on
possible paths, consequences, rewards, and... yeah. Spoilers. It's the spoilers section, after all.
i.
Extract the file
"SirinesCall_v7_BGT.rar" to your BGT-WeiDU installation directory.
ii.
Run
"Setup-SirinesCall.exe" and follow the installation prompts.
Though this mod is
made using the WeiDU standard, and *should* be compatible with all other
WeiDU-based mods, there is always the possibility for conflicts. We
suggest you install this mod AFTER the official patches, Baldurdash, .tlk-based
mods, and Tutu Fixpack. If you encounter any problems installing the mod,
please post the file SETUP-SIRINESCALL.DEBUG on the BGT-WeiDU
forums. Please do not post issues with this version of the mod on the
Pocket Plane forums.
Uninstalling is
simple. Double-click the setup-sirinescall.exe file and enter the given
commands for Uninstallation.
Afterwards, you may delete the following files:
Q: How specifically do I start the quest?
A: You start the quest by rescuing the little boy from the worgs at the
lighthouse. You can do this before or after talking to the boy's mother,
Ardrouine.
Q: How do I side with the Old Man, instead of Sil?
A: If you're either charming enough or smart enough to convince the Old Man to
confess, he'll... well, confess. Then he'll offer to bribe you into killing
Sil.
Q: What then? Are there layers and layers of betrayal
to this mod? Can I be as nefarious and selfish as I truly desire?
A: Yes! When you kill Sil, you can simply call it a day and get back to
adventuring, or you can loot the cave the Old Man was searching for, and he'll
follow you soon after. Don't expect him to be happy, though.
Q: Does Safana have any interjections in this quest?
A: At present, no. Expect some in the future, though.
Q: I can't find the lighthouse/cave/Sil/Ardrouine!
Where are they?
A: The lighthouse is in the south-west corner of the map. Can't
miss it.
A: The cave is along the coast, around coordinates 400,950.
A: Sil is just below the cave. On your way to it, you'll meet her.
A: Ardrouine is south-east of the lighthouse, almost on the very bottom edge of
the map. Follow the edge and you'll be sure to find her.
Q: How come I didn't get a reputation bonus for
helping Sil?
A: How likely is she or her kind to spread word of your good deed? Exactly. If and when the Virtue mod has been expanded for
Tutu content, expect a virtue gain for aiding Sil and her folk, however.

There has been, of late, much ado about credits.
Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of keeping all the attention
for myself, or to give credit where credit is due, I don't know. I will err on
the side of caution and give thanks to the following folks:
