The Dark Brotherhood Resurrection: Part 1

Description
This mod adds a 4+ hour-long campaign to the end of the Dark Brotherhood Questline.

2 new Followers, fully voice acted and specially scripted for sneaky assassin players:

Averna - will hide in the shadows when you are sneaking. If you sneak attack, she will stay invisible and avoid aggro. Get back up on your feet and she will spring from the void to smite your enemies!

Stabby - Stabby will actively try to perform sneak attacks while you are sneaking. He also has mysterious abilities that kick into place when either he or the player are near death.

These two new followers will appear in the Dawnstar Sanctuary shortly after the end of the Dark Brotherhood Questline. Stabby has Unfinished Death Contracts from Bruma. Averna needs your help performing a dark ritual. Both are hiding something while a sinister new enemy arises and attacks the Dark Brotherhood!

This mod also adds random conversations to the Dawnstar Sanctuary. I personally missed hearing these stories, now you can hear Averna, Stabby, Nazir and Babette discuss some of their most memorable death contracts!

22 New Quests!
6 New Death Contracts - kill the most powerful men in Skyrim.
6 New Words of Power!
3 New Magic Spells!
2 Unique Dungeons.
Poisoned Apples - Everyone's favorite fruit from Oblivion returns with a new twist!
Argonian Black Rum - Makes everyone happy!
And the Biggest, Most Ridiculously massive hoard of treasure you've ever seen in skyrim!

This is NOT a work in progress. It is 100% complete. I will not be adding any new content to this mod, though I will be supporting bug fixes.
This mod has been my passion project for the last half year. I ran myself ragged working on two game projects, stretched my voice actress to her limits, and almost developed a drinking habit so that someone on the internet might some day play my mod and enjoy themselves.
I really hope you take just a moment to try it out, my eternal gratitude to all of those who do!

NOTE: If for some reason, you don't want to play the Dark Brotherhood questline to try this mod, there is a shortcut:
To skip to the end of the dark brotherhood quest:
1) Type 'SetStage DB11 0'
2) Wait a few seconds for the messages to stop
3) Follow the quest until you talk to nazir and he mentions going to the DawnStar Sanctuary
4) Either finish the last dark brotherhood quest (it ties into the mod backstory) or leave the sanctuary and then type 'setstage DB11 80'
5) After talking to Nazir in the Dawnstar Sanctuary, leave and re-enter, the mod should now start

Broke my game, not worth the hassle.
Sunken ship near sunken tower, can not get loot as you are teleported above it on to a new iceberg. Found online that there should be a fight with the Argonian who Teleported you there but as I hadn't gotten to that point in the DB story-line (or even started it) I was stuck in a loop and couldn't loot the ship.

I saw so many good things about this mod, so I went ahead and installed it. Played a game like 30 hours with the mod installed and got to the end of the dark brotherhood questline. Only to be introduced to the changes this mod makes.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I immediately abandoned the save file as this mod completely ruins the dark brotherhood by adding what must be the most cringe character I've ever seen "stabby" He'll come to your goddamn wedding. Everything he says is low-quality voice acting and awful writing trash. Every single time he speaks it makes me go "oh god why" I should have known. Nobody who names a legitimately serious, not comic relief character "stabby" is a good mod maker, writer, and probably voice actor too. Absolutely this mod detracts from the game, and I regret having to abandon a save I had many hours in because I was dumb enough to install this hot garbage.
The mod also adds a shop with insanely broken items, breaking what little balance the game has.

Shame a part 2 was never made

So, I used to love this mod, but after a time away from Skyrim and all its mods, I've come to greatly dislike this. It's a wonderful story and good fun! But all the Bugs that are STILL attached to this mod makes it no longer worth it. A word to anyone that sees this, be cautious in subscribing to this mod. The quests are easy to bug, especially if you have LAL or SU, something about not completing Bleak Falls keeps Averna from ever progressing in her quests. Could never get her shout in this recent try no matter how many contracts I went after or dungeons I cleared. And I honestly no longer have the desire for it as I didn't want to restart all the way over again to even progress after having finished Stabby's. Really, when it comes down to it, just look at when it was last updated. I once enjoyed this Mod and loved Stabby and Averna, it no longer works out. Good luck out there guys and if you're still out there Creator, hope you're doing well in whatever you're doing nowadays.

Hey Ty, ever think of storing items at one of the Hearthfire homes or some home where you a Thane?

audition420 asks, "how many trips does averna have to go on in order to finish the book cause right now she keeps just saying she wants her hands bloody but after going on some contacts she still won't continue the quest."

I took her with me on a bounty to kill the leader of a Forsworn group. I thought it would be cool to watch her nail some of her kinsmen. Got confusing at times because from a distance, she looked like some of the other female Forsworn. Accidently shot her with an arrow.

Anyway, the location was Deepwood Redoubt and is a large fortress they built and I was able to not only get all three levels of the Call Averna shout, but in the process, she completed the translation. Just take her to a large location with lots of morons to kill like Silent Moon Camp or Deepwood Redoubt.

Ok. Ran through the final part of Stabby's quest line. When I approached the Centerion stationed in front of the treasurey room, I was not asked the question to enter the treasury room. So after a bit, I destroyed it. Made quick work of the other four and entered the treasury room. Cleaned it out, exited, killed the dragon who was in an area not far form the exit.

My journal still has that I should steal his treasure. HUH? So I am guessing, this is a bug since I cleared out the room. I ran back through and an arrow was pointing at the Centerion, but it was empty. So I am at a loss as to how to close out the quest. I went back to the Dawnstar sanctuary and tried to talk to Stbby, but nothing. I am also wondering iof this is hindering Averna from translating the text as well.

Anyone else have this issue? If so, how did you clear the quest? I couldn't find the console commands to do so.

Basically another cisero and some random thot. I like that one companion is wearing too much dumb clothing and the other is wearing nowhere near enough clothing at all. Shame, the quests and such seemed interesting

I found Dragon Gospel and began the quest Digging Deeper before finishing the Darkbrotherhood Questline. I don't think this is supposed to be possible. Also, why are there duplicates of Marked For Death and Ice Form?
