After a week absent from Cyrodill, I thought I should pop back and get on with the main quest. Firstly, I had to go and see Jauffre and Martin again, and then they set me up with a few separate quests. Firstly, I had to go to the north-east of the map, near the Temple of the Ancestor Moths, and find a daedric shrine. I then had to kill some Will o’the Wisps, to get Glow Dust, and then at …
Wendell was about today, so I fed him another of my red turnips, and he gave me another country guitar in return. I think I must have exhausted all of the combinations of stuff he gives out, although I’m still short of some pictures of “non resident” animals. Checked turnip prices just before 11PM, as I’d forgotten to do so earlier, and found Nook buying for 468 bells! Dashed back and sold them all, but couldn’t make it online to …
Nook offered me 80-something for turnips today. I didn’t sell, as I’m expecting a high price at some point this week. Not much else was going on in Cheese. None of my animals are pestering me for stuff, although I have just realised that Bunnie wanted me to deliver a parcel and I forgot to do so. Oops.
Yes – another quick play. Nan took a shirt from me, then asked for another, which I gave her, and in return she gave me the first one back again. Ungrateful cow. Or goat. Or whatever. Turnips were a rubbish 56 bells today, which I wasn’t prepared to sell them for (obviously), and I found and sold a few fossils and stuff.
It has been some time since I last played this, but now I have my DS Lite and a nice long wooden stylus (from Blue on the rllmuk forums), I thought I’d give doing Ready Steady Go (the final level) on Insane mode. Of course, I was rubbish being out of practise for so long. Went back to Hard mode instead, and redid some levels there, getting better scores than I’d had previously.
Another brief play today. I suspect this week will be somewhat short on time played, actually. So turnips were 60-something bells, and none of my animals asked me for any items, so I didn’t actually need to play for long anyway. Margie was still around too, so he/she obviously isn’t going anywhere just yet.
The briefest of brief plays on this tonight, just to check to see if Margie was still about (she was), and to see if it was worth flogging turnips to Nook (72 bells each says “no”).
Using the power of time travel, I visited K.K. Slider last night and he played me K.K. Samba. I then wound forwards to this morning, and bought some turnips (only 1500 though) for 92 bells each, and then had a chat to my animals. Boy-girl Margie was packed up ready to leave, so I told her to stay. When I finally caught the time up, she was still there so maybe she isn’t going to move out.
Cripes. That was a bit of a long quest! Basically, I’ve now finished the Thieves Guild questline (50 more Gamerpoints got, too), but can’t say too much for fear of spoilers. What I will say, however, is there’s a huge trek through the Imperial City sewers, then through “The Old Way”, a secret passage to underneath the palace, then through the palace dungeons, and finally some sneaking inside the palace. Oh yes, and then you have to get out again. …
I got a new resident in Cheese today – Mallory from “fedic”. Went and said hello, and then spent a while digging up fossils, selling them, and talking to animals. It was a flea market day today, but I didn’t buy much as everything I wanted wasn’t for sale, and everything for sale I didn’t need for my catalogue. No aurora knit yet either. Tch.
Just a brief play, to go round nicking stuff to get the Grey Fox’s attention again. Mostly went round Bravil Castle, stealing silverware from the kitchen and a few weapons and some jewelry that I, uh, “found” in display cases. I then went to see Fathis Ules, who is supposedly the best fence the Thieves Guild has. Sadly, he turned out to be the same guy who sent be looking for that sword the Jemane brothers’ father had nicked, so …
Hurrah! Jim in Beanton was online this evening, and so I managed eight trips over to his town to sell my turnips for 460 bells each. ACES! Just as well, too, as my Nook offered me just 117 for them. I swear he hates me. One of these days he’s going to wake up with the severed heads of Timmy and Tommy beside him…
You may have noticed I’ve not really played much in the way of games in the last few days. That’s because my PC’s hard drive has some bad sectors and I’ve been making sure everything is backed up before I take the plunge with a new hard drive and reinstall everything. Anyway. Turnips were 122 bells today, which was (quite frankly) obscene, so I didn’t sell. Gave Margie yet another shirt, but still don’t have an aurura knit for Nan. …
After a bit of a hunt, I found the other spy (there was a load of caverns under the other spy’s house, but I had to wait for a specific time of day for him to appear) and killed him until he be dead. After that, I went back to see Sean Bean and he sent me of on another quest – to find a daedric artifact. Before starting off on that, however, I went back to my house in …
Still no decent turnip price in Cheese this week, with Nook offering me 72 bells today. I don’t know why I bother – it is hardly ever worth selling them “at home”. Bunnie has decided to stay, it seems, as she was unpacked again today. Oh well. Jay is still ill. That’s over a week now. Maybe he’ll die? Or she. It is hard to tell with some of the animals. I mean, Margie turned out to be a boy, …
