About this mod
Adds an NPC that you can talk to if you want to skip the Empire quests at the beginning of Solstheim. It skips up to the part where you get the Skaal skull and need to talk to Tharsten.

- Permissions and credits
Part of Morrowind Winter Modjam 2025
Talk to Bello McGallico who is just west of Fort Frostmoth in Solstheim. You can follow the trail of empty bottles to find him dancing in the forest.
When you talk to him, he will challenge you to a friendly fight. He uses hand to hand and doesn't care what weapon you use to fight him. Once his health drops low enough, he will pause and thank you for the fight. Then he will give you the Skaal skull. You can then take it to Tharsten at the Skaal village to continue the main quest.
Technical notes:
Tested on OMW and vanilla.
Tested compatibility with vanilla and Tomb of the Snow Prince.
Quests skipped:
- Rebellion at Frostmoth (Completely skipped)
- The Frostmoth Smugglers (Jumps to the end of the quest which destroys the fort.)
- The Disappearance of Captain Carius (Jumps mid-way into the quest. Picks up where you have the skull and need to find the Skaal village.)
Vanilla journals have been modified:
- BM_Smugglers: I added journal entry 98: I hear the sound of falling stones in the distance.
- BM_CariusGone: I added journal entry 26: I must return this Skaal skull to its rightful owners.
If you kill him outright, you can loot the skull from his body, but the quest won't proceed and you will have to go back to the Empire quest again.
McGallico has 600 health and the trigger to stop combat when when he falls below 200 health. He also regenerates 5 health per second. Good luck!
Patch notes:
v1.1
Updated McGallico's script to stop combat if the player falls below 30% health. (Only if you do "a friendly fight". If you attack him outside of a friendly fight, he will not use the script to stop combat.)
Updated dialogue to not give you the skull if you did the empire quest.
Fixed dialogue typo.
Updated "specific place" dialogue to talk about how to get to the weapons cache.
