Diary Entry: 18th Last SeedWell, this place isn't SO bad. I decided to stay around for a bit longer and help them sort out their problems.
And cause new ones.I started out the day as usual, making a few potions ( always a useful thing to do ), having a look around and the like. I found out why the water is dangerous around here. I couldn't see anything except this fin sticking up from it, so I got to higher ground only to see a MASSIVE slaughterfish. They don't breed them that big on the mainland.
Oh, yeah, I found out where that key led to. It was a massive storehouse, so I
filched some goods legally procured through entirely legal mercantile methods some goods, and then
fenced them sold them ( legally, of course ) to that damned Altmer. He looks so smug. I'll get him, one day.
After being
so terrified I made a little guar in my pants mildly shocked at the size of the monster, I decided to take my gaze off it and go talk to others in the village about what's going on.
I found out one of the tax collectors went missing ( big loss hah ), that
midget Bosmer had an enemy in a Nord, who wanted me to find out where he was hiding his stuff and one of the guys in the village was depressed.
I decided to sort out the guy with the depression first.
After all, I could get paid to murder someone in cold blood! It turned out it was really crappy and to do with ANOTHER ring. I made sure that he didn't want me to just kill him ( he didn't ) and so I bought it off him. It wasn't too bad a ring. Pretty crappy, though. I just sold it to that ugly Altmer.
It started getting dark, and I sped up my ( now literal ) busybody routine accordingly. I mean, time is money, right?
I decided to track down that damned tax collector, so I figured I'd explore the wilderness around Seyda. It didn't take me long to see his body, but I was attacked by a ghost - his I'd guess. These Imperials really don't know how to look after their dead.
It kept paralysing me, and my weapon was doing nothing. I knew I learnt magic for stuff other than
stealing things from houses saving people from the vice of greed.
I also got attacked by some hopping thing. That was just odd.
Anyhow, I found the guy's corpse
( and stole his things ) ( and obtained his things to give to his nearest family ) and headed back to Seyda Neen. The guy in the Census Office ( the big nosed bastard ) asked me for the gold. I gave it to him ( not a good idea to mess around with Imperials in an Imperial town ) and he said that I should find the murderer.
Oh, and some other guy there offered to send me off to an island filled with undead to recover a shield. I don't think so. Maybe some other time.
The guy was apparently putting his Imperial Might onto some Dunmer woman
( race traitors, that saying "Once you go Imp you walk with a limp" really isn't true, or so I've heard ), so I decided to visit there first.
She told me some stuff about her boyfriend being a nice guy and
not her being an Imperial's coin repository how she had only ever seen him arguing with someone once, some guy called Foryn who lived next to the water in one of the shacks. I planned to visit him, but first I had a
midget Bosmer to spy on.
I also gave her his ring back. She gave me TWO potions. I could've bought three with that bloody thing, and have had a bit left over. Cheap skank.So, I headed up to the top of the lighthouse, and started watching that sneaky little
Bostard Bosmer wander around, until he thought he no one could see him and threw the stuff into a tree trunk in the middle of a bit of swampland.
I ran down the lighthouse quickly ( he really wasn't hiding that well )
and robbed him of all his earthly possessions and repossessed his goods. I knew that damn Nord would send someone after me, so I dropped off his gold and told him where I was headed soon if he needed more work being done. Some woman at the bar overheard me and gave me directions to Balmora, which I suppose was lucky.
After that, I had only one last thing to do, and that was to visit this Foryn guy and find out if he killed the tax collector. He readily admitted to it, and gave me some spiel about the tax collector being corrupt. I didn't really care since
the Imperials would pay better than he could I am a good citizen who believes in the justice of the Emperor.
( Anyway, he called me a lackey of the Empire. What a dick. )He resisted
me bashing his skull in arrest, so I had to beat him down and then go inform the tax collector's boss that I'd found the guy who'd killed his tax collector. He gave me five hundred septims
(not bad for murder!) and told me I could have the guy's hut. I figured I could have a decent place
to dump my ill gotten goods to sleep and store my mercantile stock because I am a merchant.
Good night, diary.
