"Joined" the Aundae Clan and began to wreak havoc across Vvardenfell.

I'm a foul beast. Away with me! :ph34r:

Rolled a female Nord Acrobat (better known as a Berserker) today. Called her Miss Bagger CCLXXXVIII, in honor of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288.

However, this is an unusual Berserker. She comes from a long line (obviously) of the Baggers, who are sworn only to bag things in two ways: a legitimate mercantile transaction, or directly off a slain, hostile foe. The gold price, or the iron price. Anything lying around--say, the limeware platter in the census office, or Keening on Red Mountain-- can never be touched.

But at Arrille's Tradehouse, she just couldn't keep her eyes off the seemingly-endless supply of Flin. How to bag that? Nords will do anything for good booze, anyway, but it didn't help that the Imperial prison wasn't exactly generous with alcohol. Displaying commercial guile we'd never have thought possible for a Berserker, with her formidable 30 personality and 5 merc, she slowly worked Arrille up to 100 disposition by trading a fork. She traded that fork between herself and Arrille back-and-forth, back-and-forth, over-and-over again. Fork-for-gold, gold-for-fork. Having lulled Arrille into a sort of benign, comatose contentment with the fork, she made initial moves on the Flin, first trading 1 bottle in much the same manner. Only this time, we must note that Flin is a valuable item, with a going rate of 100 gold. It was crucial to have Arrille off-guard. She managed to bid the Flin down below her own ask on each transaction, ever-so-slowly capturing Arrille's gold and training her mercantile skill in the process. She eventually gained 15 points of skill, raising her total skill to twenty points, and swindled all of the proprietor's gold. At this point, it was smooth sailing. She steadily bought batches of 15 Flin from him at @ 884, and sold 10 Flin back to him to recover the full price each time. A bastion of the Bagger family tradition.

After lugging 200 kilos of Flin and 884 gold to the outskirts of town, Miss Bagger CCLXXXVIII paused, at last, to get really tanked up. In a rush of over 3000 Strength, she was just about to leap for joy at the bounteous prospects of Morrowind for the Bagger clan, when a Bosmer fell out of the sky a few feet away (apparently having just committed a similar error), so she thought better of it. Now, just a couple clicks north of Seyda Neen, most of her alcohol peed into a nearby bog, she's weighing her options for upholding the Bagger family oaths.

My new Telvanni has been doing chores for his superiors and before he becomes a mouth himself is going to finish all the mouth chores. He also found the mentors ring and joined the mages guild for the services.

That's quite a challenge and an adventure it self while doing those chores. :D

I took my new custom nightblade/assassin character to Azura's Coast, near where the mudcrab merchant is, to hunt down a shipwreck with a daedric wakizashi in it. No matter how many times I get it I can never remember where it is the next time I play. It's either south-east or south-west of the mudcrab... I think. Even after 2 hours of searching I never found it and now I'm somewhat discouraged. :( Maybe I'll give my breton monk girl another go now.

I searched for the Denstagmer′s Ring for a while. I believed it′d be a good idea to acquire it to compensate for my Altmeri weaknesses before entering Kogoruhn. I could remember it was located somewhere around Gnisis. To my great surprise, however, I could not find it! Which was awesome. It forced me to think of an alternate solution to my horrible Altmer/Apprentice weaknesses, so I decided to try and find the Ring of Phynaster. Fortunately, I was able to find this one, because I still remembered that it was south-east of Dagon Fel, whereas with the Destagmer′s Ring, I could only remember it was somewhere near Gnisis. So I am now a bit less susceptible to Magic attacks. The elemental weaknesses still hurt, though. Perhaps I should invest in some Invisibility spells..

Huh, today was a cruel day. Gentleman Jim Stacey commanded me, to kill Sjoring Hard-Heart.
- "He is dangerous," said me. "He wants to destroy Thieves guild. Kill him."
- And I go to the Fighters guilt to visit to Sjoring Hard-Heart. I searched all dialog menu, but I did not find any item to talk about his ambitions and plans about leading guilt. Hm, I have no choise. I have to kill him. I used Scroll of Hellfire. Five scrolls I used. Or maybe ten. I forgot. Nice visual efect.
- And then back to Gentleman Jim Stacey to report. In the corridor, I met Lorbumol gro-Aglakh. He was very angry. He believed, I want to become leader and overwriting him.
- "I will not let you take it to the rank of leader!" said Lorbumol gro-Aglakh. "I am the leader!"
- And I said: "You're stupid orc. I dont want leader rank. You stay leader of Fighters guild."
- Hm, I did not say this. I just wished to say this. Because, there is no this option in talking menu. Well, I had only one option. I had to kill him.
- Yes, stupid orc. He coult to continue lead guild. I'm not right person to lead it. I prefer to wander around and explore. But well, it's done. Rest in peace, both of you. Who will be now leader? Well, will see.

Nice rainy day

Today i got a brand new shinny top of the line computer and naturally the first thing i put in it was beloved Morrowind.

Before doing anything i ran through:

1. installing all expansions
2. installing all necessary patches and 'necessary' unofficial patches and codes
3. installing some 50 mods
4. running MWSE for the first time (testing = OMFG). 2cell distant land is really awesome. Not too far view distance, but enough to make it much more realistic and enjoyable.
5. Tested some "hall of fame" texture packs and returned to my previous opinion that they are all rubbish and plastic. Seriously nothing beats the originals for sentimentality. All these horrible irregular plasting ones make my eyes bleed.
6. Started a new game -> tried a 'sorcerous' character and realised that i didnt have all the mods i wanted installed that make magic characters more fun to play with.
7. Started a 'merchant' character and very quickly had accumulated a small fortune ^_^

Combined with a number of run-your-own-business mods of my own design and from the community, im looking forward to business empire building. Hlaalu ftw :celebration:

Started up an old character (44th, however after trying out Deux machina i kept the level and stat increases). I can only look at my logs and go 'What??' at being lost. I also realize this save is a bit behind what i remember so i still have part of the MQ for tribunal to do.

Anyways, ended up making an exquisite shirt and pants pair (Bound armor & weapons, constant effect), a 'boots no blind' ring (70+ magica resist, on top of my 50 for being breton).

Only partially related, resumed work on SmartMerger, getting most of the easier features and fixes done.

That's hard to avoid if you need a some information, but all I can say is that you don't need the expansions to find him.

He is somewhere in the game, because if I say more that's consider to be a hint or spoiler. Sorry that's all I can reveal.

Started a new game four times. Got the 360 remote to work. Stole the limeware platter, assaulted an officer, and raided the storage tower. Killed five mudcrabs, three rats, and found the dead body of the census worker.

I completed many Fighter Guild quests, too many to actually list here, well I could but I'm too lazy. The highlight of my day was fighting Umbra, considering I'm only level 10 and I'm playing Dead is Dead it's quite a feat. I chugged about six bottles of Sujamma and entered battle with Umbra. Took him out too with half my health to spare. I also got kind of scared when his blow hit me and caused my character to jerk back a bit harder than usual. Thought I was going to fall down for a second there. :( Anyway in the end I gave him what he asked for and he died in battle.

Bohemia and Julan kicked Dagoth Ur's posterior to Oblivion and back. More importantly, they also completed her collection of Dagoth soul gems. ("Ash vampires! Ascended sleepers! Collect 'em all! Trade them with your friends!") :celebration:

Wait, Julan allied Bohemia? Watch out for Habsburg Ur then, he may attempt to make you part of his domains at some point. Nerevar being reincarnated as a whole historical nation is pretty awesome though.

I met an odd crazy man outside Ald Velothi who lives in a house made of bookshelves and surrounded by candlelights. Sent me to a quest to look for the "ultimate lightsource". Creepy...

i'll start with yesterday.

yesterday, me and dutiful RAK_fgba_t1minion (level 5 nord barbarian ranked in the fighters guild as associate, a companion added by my mod) discovered an imperial that wanted to go to the ghostgate shrine for some odd reason (i guess i'm not the only outlander to join the temple)

i decided that i would escort her from ald-ruhn to the ghostgate shrine. after wading through legions of cliff racers, and a handful of scamps and kwama foragers we made it to ghostgate, where we faced one of the tougher challenges i've run into - an ash slave. we emerged triumphant, and i got a handful of septums for my efforts. then me and my associate had to run all the way back, braving more legions of cliff racers. it took a couple of days, but we returned to ald ruhn alive, but nearly out of supplies.

today we took the silt strider to balmora and ran to peligad. from there we started on to suran, and we bumped into an escaped argonian slave. being a good hearted individual, we took him to the redguard farmer he claimed would help him, but he turned out to be a commona tong assassin. being nearly naked, he was ill equipped to deal with me and my associate. reaching suran, i heard of the problems of a slave hunter, and being a little irratated with "escaped argonian slaves" i decided to help him. i had my associate watch the door just in case the slave hunter decided to leave before paying up when i eventually did his job for him, but i had nothing to worry about.

i then went to the docks and fished from dusk till the wee hours of the morning.
