I think the better question is "which spell school is likely to allow us to earn enough money to pick up another spell school much quicker next time around". Maybe that IS Restoration, but Destruction could work too - it might finally be time to try out a couple fighters guild quests, too.

[WillowLuman]

Either Destruction or Restoration would be fine with me. The others would not provide as much benefit as our starting school. While I think it's best to be able to finish fights before injury occurs, healing mid-battle without potions would be nice too, so either school would quickly increase our survivability.

[gordy]

 The last few entries have been fantastic. I’ve played Elder Scroll games over hundreds of hours and still most of tstuff goes over my head.

I think we’ve got enough understanding of what is going on to stop wasting time. Interviews with both Divayth and Bagrum prove that Michael isn’t so profoundly important that they’ll go out of their way to assist unless it benefits them (cell phone for cash). Vivek pretty much confirmed that Michael didn’t even exist until the start of this LP (where it suggests he’d come from a busy day of algebra).

Michael did suggest he had a huge knowledge of the game plot and location of artifacts and high level items. I’d like to know if we are ever in a position to secure one or some of these without distracting too much from our current missions, we should really take a detour to get our hands on. I’m almost positive the benefit of 1) Michaels experience and understanding of the game and 2) the ability of the forum readers and google walkthrough should have given us an opportunity to be much more powerful by now, even if just mechanically.

As for any differences between this and the original game, I am not in much of a position to comment. Happy to hear suggestions though. Similarly, the extra players – I did have theories about the other ‘PCs’,

There’s more than one person playing this instance of the game (controlling a PC each) and each are on their own path to the end game, and if so Is each under control of a single person or a consortium of forum readers like ours? There a possibility that Lord Bucket is running concurrent forum games (I doubt this) therefore each extra PC is a construct of his own plotmind, not controlled by individuals or groups.also sell phone, get training in restoration

[WillowLuman]

It's also possible that we're in some way connected to every game of mundane Morrowind. Worst case scenario, every psychotic cheat character that's ever been created is someone Michael could potentially bump into.

Is this version of Vvardenfell still quarantined due to the Blight? Now that we know some deeper questions about physics, my other big unanswered question is what happens if we somehow manage to leave the areas normally shown in game. Do we wind up in Tamriel Rebuilt's version of the mainland? If we cross the provincial border, do the screenshots start looking like Oblivion? Not that we have any good reason to try right now, but at some point in the future I feel we ought to. Then again, that might be a sequel...

I think the better question is "which spell school is likely to allow us to earn enough money to pick up another spell school much quicker next time around". Maybe that IS Restoration, but Destruction could work too - it might finally be time to try out a couple fighters guild quests, too.

Bear in mind that we will probably be starting out at 1 or 5 or some other abysmally low amount of skill. I suspect it will take us quite a while before Destruction is more effective than Daggers or Spears, even ignoring the magicka costs.

my other big unanswered question is what happens if we somehow manage to leave the areas normally shown in game. Do we wind up in Tamriel Rebuilt's version of the mainland? If we cross the provincial border, do the screenshots start looking like Oblivion? Not that we have any good reason to try right now, but at some point in the future I feel we ought to. Then again, that might be a sequel...

This is definitely an interesting question, but leaving Vvardenfell sounds like it'd be a massive undertaking. I get the feeling that, even once we've got ourselves together more, we're going to need more of a reason than curiosity to attempt it.

Then again, is Michael in danger of drowning? As far as I'm aware, maps tend to display the gap between Vvardenfell and the rest of Morrowind as much narrower than Vvardenfell itself... which isn't terribly large. Just swimming for it might not take that much time, assuming there's no complicating factors. Which I'm sure there would be.

Like, for instance, the fact that we'd be completely blind. We've been doing a poor enough job as is with knowledge of everything, I can imagine what happens if we land on some uninhabited shore and have to figure out what to do next.

Apologize for making her wait and thank her for her consideration.

Showing a bit of appreciation is a good way to keep friends.

Episode 54: The dominos begin to fall, Telvanni politics, the Third Dream

sell the cell

I agree we should sell the phone

Sell the phone

Sell the phone

the selling of our cell phone.

: "Yes, here's the phone. Yagrum agreed the 600 gold offer was fair."

Lost cellphone
Gained 600 gold

The gold is heavy. You put 100 coins in your coinpurse and toss the rest into your bag.

Make one last check to confirm Sexy or Clover aren't actually here

Ask if Clover/any other guests like that are present

: "Beyte, is Clover still here?"

: "Clover?"

: "Dunmer girl, white hair, probably had a-"

: "Oh, I remember her. She arrived a few days ago then disappeared into the lower study after briefly talking with Father. I haven't seen her since, but I don't recall seeing her leave."

Odds are good she also hasn't been standing here watching the door this entire time either.

: "What about SexyWithers? Or any other guests?"

She blinks.

: "You mean the Councilor? No, I haven't seen her in weeks."

You feel the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

: "What do you mean Councilor?"

: "You are talking about Mistress SexyWithersXOXOXO, aren't you? Master Aryon's former Mouth? She was recently promoted to Councilor. That's what had my sister Freyte so upset. You remember Freyte, don't you? She was here when you arrived."

How did you miss this? Wait...Cinia. The crystals. Ever since you arrived she's been talking about getting replacement seed crystals for a stalled construction project. And she specifically said there's a tower being built in Molag Amur. She's been talking about the Telvanni stronghold of Tel Uvirith!

: "Cinia-"

You turn just in time to see the door close behind her.

head out

go with Cinia

: "Cinia! Wait up!"

: "Oh, you're coming after all?"

Mention that we didn't think she was a ferry - just that she might have regular business here, is all. Apologize for insulting her - we don't really know how often the House has a need for crystals.

apologize to Cinia

Apologize for making her wait

: "Cinia, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have kept you waiting like that."

: "You think?"

: "You said you weren't a ferry, you're a business woman. I know, but I just assumed you make regular cargo trips through Tel Fyr. Remember, you'd said you were authorized to visit the island. I just assumed you were the super important special designated cargo transport person and that you came through here all the time."

: "Look, I'm not offended. You don't need to flatter me. But let's just go, alright? I'm on a schedule. Llunela is expecting these crystals, and annoying high ranking House wizards is a bad idea, ok?"

Llunela. The Hermitage wizard in charge of stronghold construction. Cinia mentioned that's who she was delivering the crystals to when you first arrived. How did you not put this together until now?

: "That construction project. That's Tel Uvirith, isn't it?"

Cinia raises an eyebrow.

: "Yes. Why?"

: "For the new councilor? SexyWithers?"

: "Yes?"

And there is it confirmed. You suppress the urge to facepalm. The entire time you were in Tel Fyr, Divayth, his daughters, Cinia...everyone knew about this except you, and possibly Yagrum, since he's locked underground in the corprusarium. And he only mentioned her because you asked about the flying boots. And that quest was probably done while she was still Aryon's Mouth. And given Yagrum's priorities, she was probably just a pretty face to him. He had no reason to mention her Telvanni rank, even if he knew about it. He's probably not even a member of House Telvanni.

: "What do you know about her?"

: "Not much. Never met her. Fastest rise through the ranks I've ever seen though. Rumor is that Master Aryon has some kind of plans for her. He's kind of a fringe wacko though. Hard to know what he's thinking."

: "Aryon? A wacko?"

: "Yes."

You wait for her to elaborate. She doesn't.

: "Don't tell him I said that."

: "What kind of condition is the tower in that you needed to replace the crystals? Don't you use soul gems for that anyway?"

: "How do you know so much about Telavnni tower construction?"

: "I...umm, doesn't everyone?"

She hmphs.

: "From what I saw it looked inhabitable, if a bit rough. I think it will be a while before anyone other than the Councilor will be living there, but it depends a lot on how much she pushes for development. "

The two of you arrive at Cinia's boat and she steps aboard.



: "20 gold for one way trip to Sadrith Mora please."

You hand Cinia the gold.

: "I have to prep the ship, and wind doesn't look too good right now. It will probably take a few hours to reach Sadrith Mora. You look injured. Why don't you take a nap?"

You look at the blood on your armor and the bitemark in your arm.

: "Yeah. That's a good idea. Thanks, Cinia."

You lay down and fall asleep.




You are walking through a town, with wooden and stone buildings all around you but no people besides yourself. In the distance you see a massive set of scales in the shape of a woman dressed in white, with outstretched arms hanging from the sky and a bright yellow and orange sun on one side and a white, pockmarked crescent moon on the other. Curious, you approach. For several minutes you walk in the direction of the celestial scales, but they don't appear to be getting any closer.

Suddenly the crescent moon bounds from its side of the scale and towards you, causing the side with the sun not to fall down, but to rise up into the sky where it blazes with blinding light. You hold a hand over your face to keep from being blinded but the light passes through your hand as easily as through the air, and you see that your hand is made of the same light as that passes through it. The moon, never stopping, bounces towards you and pierces your chest with the pointy end of its crescent, passing cleanly through your body and leaving a gaping hole.

You then watch as light from the sun fills the hole in your chest and restores the flesh as if you'd never been injured at all. You anticipate a sense of deja vu, but it never comes.

You are walking through a town, with wooden and stone buildings all around you but no people besides yourself. In the distance you see-



: "We're here."

It is interesting to see how the deep levels of math and physics are applied here compared to Michael's
world and yet something as simple as biological repair processes are vastly different between worlds.

You put a hand on the restored bit of your arm that was a bloodied hole when you went to sleep. You feel like you should be creeped out, but you're not. You feel at peace, as if everything in the whole world is going to be ok. You feel happy. Joyful. You feel...loved? You feel like you're going to-

: "Are you crying?"

: "No, no. I'm good. Thanks."

Confused and disoriented, but smiling, you wipe the stray tears from your face and stand up to look around.



: "Well, Michael. I have some crystals to deliver, so this is where we say goodbye."

: "I was actually kind of hoping we'd be able to stay in touch."

She seems surprised.

: "Oh? Well. Sure. You headed to Ebonheart by chance? That's where I'm going next. Beyte mentioned a new shipment of slaves just arrived and I'd like to see if there's anything I can make a profit on."

get training

: "No, sorry. There's something I've been wanting to do since I got here that I finally have enough money to do."

: "What's that?"

: "Learn magic."

She nods.

: "Yes, that's important."

: "Any way I can get a hold of you again?"

: "I live on my boat, so I'm constantly moving. But I do a lot of business through Sadith Mora. If you leave a letter for me with Dalyne Arvel at the council house, I'll get it eventually. I check in regularly to see if they need any errands run. It's good to make connections. I'm planning to be a magelord someday"

: "You'd make a good one."

She smiles.

: "Thank you. If you ever need a sponsor to join House Telvanni, let me know. Though I doubt you'll need one. Learn enough magic to pass the basic requirements and you'll be a shoe-in."

: "Why's that?"

She points at your head.

: "Divayth."

That's right. Divayth marked you so his corprusarium warden would let you in to talk to Yagrum.

: "So, am I famous now? Will people fear me because I'm buddies with the big bad wizard?"

: "Hardly anyone will even recognize it. That particular mark is only used within his household. But the people who matter will know it means he at least found you interesting enough to talk to."

Maybe that will be worth a training discount with Fast Eddie. You say your goodbyes and set off through the market towards Wolverine Hall.



To your disappointment, Cinia turns out to be right. Nobody pays you any particular attention. Come to think of it, you're not even sure what Divayth's mark looks like yourself. You weren't looking inside your skull for the before and after when he marked you.

Pausing to close your eyes and check, you look around for Divayth's mark. You find a couple spots that might possibly be it, but without the benefit of knowing where and what to look for it's really hard to distinguish what is and isn't a mark at all. Back at Tel Fyr you couldn't find Azura's Mark even after Divayth told you where to look. At least until he cast that fortify intelligence spell on you. There might be some people who can casually glance at someone and see their affiliations, but you're not one of them.

Arriving at Wolverine Hall, you hand Iniel 12 gold for transport back to Balmora. When you arrive, Ajira is missing and only the guild guide, Masalinie, is present in the transport area. Stepping out into the main room, it's abandoned too. Curious, you head back to the transport pad and ask Masalinie what's going on.

: "Hey, where is everyone?"

: "Ranis was challenged to a duel for leadership of the guild."

: "For the position of Archmage?"

: "What? Ha! No, as if we could be so lucky. Ranis is only in charge of the Balmora branch of the guild. It's Trebonious who's Archmage. And while he may be an idiot, he's also a hardened and experienced battlemage. Nobody's been stupid enough to challenge him in years. No, this is just for control of the Balmora branch."

: "So where is everyone?"

: "Vivec Arena canton. Watching the fight. I'd be there too, but somebody had to stay here. Can't leave the place unattended. Galbedir's upstairs though."

: "Who's the challenger?"

Masalinie nervously glances around as if worried somebody might overhear, then answers quietly:

: "It's Adorabella."

: "Who's that? I don't recognize the name."

: "It's probably best if I don't say anything."

There's an uncomfortable silence as Masalinie looks at the ground, the walls, anywhere but make eye contact with you.

: "Umm, look...I know you and I have had some friction in the past, what with me being escorted around by Ordinators, and you thinking I was a stalker and all that. But I thought we got past all that."

: "Yeah, it's not you. I just...it really would be best if I didn't say anything."

She's sweating now. You stand there dumbstruck for a bit before you shrug, then head upstairs to find Galbedir nervously pacing in Ranis' usual spot at the door.



: "Hey-"

: "Don't hurt me!"

: "Whoa, relax. It's just me. I don't think we've met, though. I'm Michael. You're the enchanter here, right? Galbedir?"

: "Yes, sorry. You startled me is all."

: "Sorry about that. What's the deal with this duel? Is Ranis going to be ok?"

: "I hope so."

: "Who's Adora-"

: "SHHH! Don't say her name out loud."

: "Ok, fine. But seriously, what's the big deal here?"

: "She's..."

: "Yes?"

: "She's a vampire."

It takes you a moment to process that.

: "And if she wins the duel...she's going to be your boss."

Galbedir nods. You're not sure what to say. You're glad it's not your problem. You don't tell her that, though. You have more important things to attend to. It's time to get some spell training.

Destruction maybe
Or perhaps a restoration

Probably destruction.

I would suggest destruction

I would strongly recommend we go with Restoration

Maybe that IS Restoration, but Destruction could work too

Either Destruction or Restoration

Well, definitely one of those two, destruction or restoration. But which? Maybe Eddie will have some input. You cross over to the residential section of town, head up the stairs and find his door unlocked.




And the room empty.

What happened? Did he move out? You carefully look around the room, but find no clues. Fortunately, you have a pretty good idea who to ask to find out. You head to Hlaalu Council Manor.

: "Hello, Nileno?"

: "Yes?"

: "You might remember me. We spoke a few weeks ago? You showed me around a few apartments? Name's Michael?"

: "Oh! Yes, I remember you. Have you decided to settle in Balmora?"

: "Actually, I'm looking for a friend. Edd Therman?"

: "Oh, yes. He rather suddenly canceled his lease just this past week. His room's available, if you're interested."

: "Can you tell me where he went?"

: "I'm afraid he didn't say. I'm sorry."


...wait. SexyWithers was Master Aryon's Mouth on the council, was promoted to Councilor, and her stronghold Tel Uvirith is nearing completion. Fast Eddie was desperate for allies to help him get back into House Telvanni, people who wouldn't mind his sordid past, and with enough political clout that nobody would mess with him.

He's her Mouth, isn't he?

What do you do?

[GlyphGryph]

Adorabella? More like Adorabloodthirsty lololol.

[WillowLuman]

Well, fuck. Things sure moved fast in the space of a day or two. Fast Eddie probably doesn't have time for our deal anymore, so that means we might be back to square one.

The only thing I know now is that we've got to work on Michael's way of talking. The way he says things seems to be a bit... ingratiating. I don't know how much of that is on us, on him, or on his speechcraft skill, but we need to get together and seriously work on his diction.

[GlyphGryph]

Well we can learnspell schools at least through the guild, right? We got the eddy specific bits.

Also, we should check in with cauis. Report what weve learned about sexywithers, and what we suspect, as well as our failure to intercept Clover. Tie it in with what we already knew, try to keep him informed. Also mention the whole mage guild vampire character, and ask him to keep a look out for any of the other "strange typesl we have come across.

Then... I dunno. Get any possible new jobs, and go learn some magic schools from somewhere in the mages guild.

[WillowLuman]

Somehow I don't think Caius will be too pleased if we come back to him and tell him that. We need to think of a way to say this better. We seem to run our mouth sometimes.

[gordy]

Take the portal to Vivec and go watch the duel. Try to sit with the Balmoral mages guild, Sharn in particular. She’s a minor trainer in Restoration and Alteration, either of which would be very useful. I’m tending to think even alteration would be good because we could spam it wherever we are going to train Alteration. Come to think of it, why aren’t we making Michael jump everywhere? If Sharn needs convincing, you can tell her that Divayth gave us the money so that we could learn a spell school.

[WillowLuman]

What would Sharn care about Divayth?

[IronyOwl]

Man I am really glad we've been informed that being bitten by corprus beasts is not how you get corprus, because otherwise our sense of belonging and being loved would be a rather dead giveaway.

As for that dream... maybe I should fill the really non-pony people in, if there are any.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The land of the ponies is ruled over by two powerful sisters. The eldest, Celestia, brings up the sun up each day, while the younger, Luna, brings up the moon each night. Celestia is white, Luna is black.

So any imagery excessively involving the sun and the moon is likely to be a reference to the ponyfolk's goddess-queens.

As for that specific dream, though... not getting much. I assume the town is just an arbitrary setting, but it could be significant. Trying to get to the sisters but failing, followed by Luna or something she represents bounding right through us while Celestia ascends to her full magnificence and heals us... that's gotta mean something, as far as the dream itself has to mean something. I'm almost tempted to say that's Celestia herself's way of saying we should go get roughed up by the world and that's how we'll get things done, rather than trying to get into her good graces directly, or something.

And then it starts to repeat, which I have no idea on.

Adorabella? More like Adorabloodthirsty lololol.

Keeping with the PCs = Ponies theory, Adorabella could be Rarity, though the name sounds more like one of the three little side character ponies, two of which are little sisters to the mane cast. Applebloom, Sweetiebell, and Scootaloo are their names.

Actually, wait, I'm retarded. I just now got SexyWithers' name. The withers, as in, the part on a horse. Damn it.

Okay, so SexyWithers is probably a pony. The withers is a ridge between the shoulder blades; the horse uses it as an important attachment point for shoulder and neck muscles, the human uses it to measure how tall the horse is. Pegasi wings seem to attach fairly close to it, which supports the notion that we're looking at Rainbow Dash. The XOXOXOXO part I don't really get, though. Sexy could be an extension of RB being rather full of herself, but my impression of her doesn't really support hugs and kisses, even flippantly.

Plus, we've now got, what, three different people able to give impressions of her, and I'm still not seeing the pattern in her supposed behavior. Everyone else I managed to piece together off just a handful of clues, but we've got our first "meeting," the Ald'ruhn mages guild, the Balmora Butcher, Yagrum, and now Cinia's impressions, and I still don't clearly see Rainbow Dash in much of it. That makes me suspect it's someone or something else.

In conclusion, Adorabella and SexyWithersXOXOXO are maybes. I wonder if they're dipping outside the mane cast; I've actually suspected we may be Spike for a while now. Of course, since Spike is an amorous baby dragon, for all we know Sexy could be him playing a female character, though he's also a bit scatterbrained. I'd expect him to be closer to our position.

Speaking of genders, Suspected Fluttershy was the only one we saw genderswapped. Of course, we've only got, what, two other examples I'm really convinced on, and even one of those is based on "this elf is really friendly and is throwing a party," so that could just be that.

In real conclusion, I have no idea and wish we had more chances to talk to some of these people. I might even be in favor of guildwarping to Vivec to see if the duel's still on, and asking around for the results if not.

The only thing I know now is that we've got to work on Michael's way of talking. The way he says things seems to be a bit... ingratiating. I don't know how much of that is on us, on him, or on his speechcraft skill, but we need to get together and seriously work on his diction.

I'm not sure why that's a bad thing. He seems to do a pretty good job of apologizing for putting his foot in his mouth every time he says what the voices tell him to.

Take the portal to Vivec and go watch the duel.

This, but first ask the guide about timing and other factors. How long has it been since they left? How long will the duel probably last? Is there an admission fee, are seats likely to be open...? She might not know everything, but she might be able to save us 30 gold showing up late to the party.

Speaking of which, if we do go watch the fight, we'll need directions. BRB.

[gordy]

If Sharn refuses to teach you for whatever reason, ask her about necromancy. Make sure you’re in the crowded arena so she can’t make a scene. Ask her about her own personal copy of ‘Legion of the Dead’ in her chest at the mages guild. She’ll cave and possibly teach you some spells for free. Try to reason with her first though, we need her later. She might not care about divayths mark but can't hurt for her to think we have friends in high places.
