for the password, try 'for the most curious'. Long shot, but who knows? costs us nothing.

[WillowLuman]

Ask him if he knows any restoration. Worth a shot, it'd be nice to be at full health.

[Descan]

Heh, even if it was a real person, even if they knew magicka, do you REALLY think this dude is going to heal us, without a password? He won't even tell us where this demon-boat would send us.

[GlyphGryph]

Which is why you should support us stabbing him and taking the boat for ourselves, so we can go to AWESOME places instead!

Presumably.

I just sort of want a boat.

Even if we get the password right, be very cautious about taking the boat to any nonsense places. Do not travel with this man unless he has several holes in his torso and has stopped being able to talk or do things!

Does he have, like, a pole or something? Or a paddle? How does he even steer the boat?

[Mr. Strange]

Friedship is magic? Do not boat, it's a trap! Also, Michael needs new pimpin hat, something like the always cool fedora to help with his lady adventures...

Kill him, take the boat. Be done with this crazy stuff. Maybe the password is stabs?

-1, no murder-hoboing. We're not playing Elder Scroll games here- oh, wait..

Return to town (We're right next to Pelegiad, apparently, so go there and buy some damn supplies already. Also, check the prices on that woman's restore magika potion ingredients.

[WillowLuman]

First of all murdering is wrong. Second of all, I doubt we'd be able to take him down.

[IronyOwl]

Friedship is magic?

This!

Though I have to wonder just where this boat leads. Not that I'm opposed to getting into it anyway, but it's pretty much got to be more daedric japery, right?

Might as well also try:
No
Michael
Celestia
Discord
Dragons are awesome
Gem

And probably a bunch more but I honestly don't want to be here shouting dictionaries at him all night, I just think we could try a few obvious ones relating to his possible nature as a daedric/Discordic lure or Pinkie Pie's personal escort or something.

Return to town (We're right next to Pelegiad, apparently, so go there and buy some damn supplies already. Also, check the prices on that woman's restore magika potion ingredients.

At this point, we should probably move the remaining twenty feet to the top of the hill before ditching. Unless you wanted to get the stuff and then come right back, or play Metal Gear Squishy without actually getting most of what we came for.

[Araph]

Second of all, I doubt we'd be able to take him down.

So much this.

I mean, what are the possibilities? He's standing in the middle of nowhere wearing a top hat and snazzy red outfit. In RPG-land, he's immortal.

Michael mentioned Discord. When we pointed out that Yagrum called Sexy a lunatic, Michael hinted that we were supposed to have picked up on it. The fact that Michael mentioned Discord and then we run into this crazy guy with a snappy outfit makes me think it's either Hermaeus Mora tempting Michael again or it's a representation of Discord a la the PCs.

The reason I don't think it's Herma-Mora is that the encounter with AJ was very forcefully subversive, while this guy seems more silly and less 'come here I have knowledge in this unmarked brown boat'.

[hostergaard]

Oh, an update! 

That's a snappy red outfit, but I am entirely sure I have never seen a top-hat in any of the elder scrolls game. In fact, don't gondoliers have those Asian straw hats usually? He is probably another outsider of shorts. Tough, I feel like we should be able to recognize him from somewhere, a reference maybe to figure out the password? But there is a lot passwords riddles so it beats me which its referencing, if any. Try your computer password or whatever passwords you usually used on the internet. If that does not work give him a coin or two, maybe its a ferryman over river Styx thing.

I think we should go with him since he might not be there when we return, even if its risky. At least its a plot hook to follow instead of bumbling around aimlessly.

And do get supplies at next chance, a divine intervention scroll or whatever.

Oh, and that lady got a point, we should look into Mysticism next time we got the money, with all the traveling we have been doing it will quickly pay for itself to have alternate and cheaper methods of travel.

[Rabid_Cog]

Don't stab him! That won't end well. You lose to a Nix Hound, remember? And Fedoras don't normally exist in Morrowind.

Rather check out the immediate area VERY CAUTIOUSLY. Basically just get to the top of the hill and look around, back off the moment you see anything potentially hostile. After that, get back to some more password guessing, probably, or head back to civilization.

After that, for some reason I'm thinking we should be able to guess the password at this point. Just a hunch.

Unless the voices know something you don't...

What do we know that Micheal does not?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyway. I'm starting to suspect that Sexywithers and the Balmora Killer are two different characters. Did anyone ever analyze the hair from the picture of the Balmora Killer and Sexywithers to see if they match? I think it was a hint LB gave us. Someone said they were going to do it, but I never did see any results. Of course, I havent read EVERYTHING.

[WillowLuman]

I do in fact recognize the man's clothes from a mod called "Slof's Goth Shop," which has long since disappeared from the nexus.

[syvarris]

...Swordfish?

also for the most beautiful while we're at it

[Arcvasti]

Try chatting him up a little bit. Ask where he would take you if you knew the password. Inquire about other people who used his services. Solicit hints about the password. Then try the password ideas the other voices tell you. DON'T ATTACK HIM. Consider offering him the paper wrapped object you have. If those fail, maybe go over to the nearest town for supplies.

[Putnam]

Ask where he would take you if you knew the password.

: "Look, can't you at at least just tell me where you'll take me if I get it right?"

: "Nope!"

: "'Nope' you won't tell me, or 'nope' that's not the password?"

: "Both! And that's also not the password."

Ask where he would take you if you knew the password. Inquire about other people who used his services. Solicit hints about the password.

"Not the password", "nope", "that's not it", respectively, through some pattern matching.
