Episode 5: The plot thickensLook around the village for anything else interesting
set in toward the standard seyda neen stuff
ask at the census office what the year and date is
check in with the census office
I'd personally be stripping the place to the ground
You thank Arille for his time and tell him you might be back later. He nods politely and says he'll be looking forward to it. Stepping out the door you you dump the mushrooms into the water to make room for piles of loot you're about to collect.
"No sense worrying over a couple septims." you figure.
"I know where the good stuff is. There's a dagger and lockpick and other stuff at the census office. May as well start there."You make it about halfway to the census office before you need to take a break from jumping. Looking around you notice that nobody else seems to be paying any particular attention to your jump/rest antics. After resting up you resume jumping and right as you get to the census office door...
It opens, and a female Dunmer steps out brandishing a knife.
You freeze for just a moment in shock, during which she brushes right past you and takes off through the town running and jumping with every step.
:
"Hey!"She ignores you and keeps run/jumping. You try to give chase but she's
much faster than you are.
:
"Come back!"No good. She's crossing the bridge by the time you collapse in the middle of the roadway from exhaustion, and you watch her make a right in the direction of the stilt strider.
You really
hope that was a modded event.
Turning back to the census office you step through the door and see your buddy Sellus Gravius.
:
"Hey, did a dunmer just come barreling through here?"
:
"...yes? Why do you ask?":
"Did you get her name? Why was she here?"He frowns at the question.
:
"It's official Imperial business. Move along, citizen."Your mouth opens and closes a few times but you can't think of anything to say. Eventually you mumble something about having business with the census office and that he shouldn't be bothered...you know the way. He just looks at you impassively as you walk through the next door.
Stepping through, you immediately turn to the barrel that
should have Fargoth's healing ring.
It's empty.
You step through the next door, wishing, hoping, praying both to Celestia and Azura that there's a dagger and lockpick waiting for you.
"Damn it. She looted everything."Turning to the bookcase, and checking the various baskets, they're all empty too. Feeling a bit down, you step through the next door and make a right.
Aha!
Looks like she skipped the storeroom. You quickly go through the various barrels and crates and loot everything you can. A few of the ingredients you're able to visually identify, but most of them you're not. After a minute or two you manage to come up with the following:
* 2 wooden buckets
* 1 Wooden cup
* 1 Pewter pitcher
* 2 little vegetable kind of things that look a bit like small orange potatoes
* 2 bits of dried black hairy fibers that you're guessing are black lichen
* 1 bits of dried green black hairy fibers that you're guessing is green lichen
* 1 pulpy blob of stuff that kind of looks like somebody scraped out the insides of an alibnmo green pepper
* 1 strip of some kind of dry plant
* 2 strips of some other kind of dry plant
* 1 berry that you're quite sure is a comberry
* 1 hard, flat, squarish dark brown chunk of what looks like animal skin
* 1 small strip of gooey pink flesh
Yeah. You know all the plant and animal parts are alchemy ingredients, but without mouseover texts you have no clue what most of these things are. On the bright side, everything except the buckets fit in your backpack pretty easily. You notice though, that a few of the alchemy ingredients are not entirely dry, so you put those in the smaller pouch of your backpack and the cup and pitcher in the main part of your backpack with your paper and pen. You remember that you've occasionally seen alchemy ingredients in-game on pieces of paper, and you figure that's probably to keep the moisture of the fleshier gooier ones from leeching into other things. You don't think it will be a problem, but if it becomes one with fresher ingredients, fortunately you have a big stack of paper.
