Nature's Fury

The Boots of the Crusader are hidden near the Shrine of Kynareth, which is where the protagonist must start searching. At the shrine, he is told by the worshipers that the boots are in a nearby clearing in the forest. The only advice that the Shrine-goers give is to "Respect and fear nature". At the clearing, the player freezes as a gigantic bear comes around the corner. If the bear attacks and the protagonist fights back, then they must kill the bear, go back to the shrine, and recieve the quest again. However, if the player takes the first couple of hits without fighting back, the bear will yield and a covering to a cave will be revealed. Inside the cave, the protagonist will recover the Boots of the Crusader. After the quest, one of the patrons at the Shrine wishes to join the Knights.


 * Known bug : There is a known bug that can prevent you from talking about the boots with the NPC that is supposed to tell you where the clearing is. In such case, if the quest is active, the female Kynareth worshiper indicated by your map/compas marker will have no other dialogue option than the usual rumors. The reason for this is that the Knights of the Nine mod has to be the last one to load at Oblivion startup, after all other .csm files. Uninstalling and reinstalling the mod will not work. All you can do is change the loading order, either manually, or via a third-party mod manager, such as Oblivion Mod Manager. However, it will not fix your saved game(s) if you have talked to the female NPC already. You need to reload a save file in the which you still haven't talked to her. The fact that the quest is active or not doesn't matter.
