Being Sneaky and Getting Paid Too

It felt very good to sleep in a bed for the first time in many days and months. This day started off almost as curious as the one before.

Kiseena first talked to Elone for the second time. She is a redguard and worked the bar above Arrille's trading house last night when Kiseena needed a room. Elone noticed Kiseena's discomfort at the idea of being near the silt-bugs (of which Kiseena recently found out there was more than one, S'renndar help us). She was very nice to Kiseena, and gave this one written directions on how to travel to Balmora by road instead. It will be a long walk, and may be dangerous, but it is preferable to silt-bugs in more ways than Kiseena has paper to write words.

Before Kiseena could leave the bar, a very large man - possibly one of the Skyrim people - stopped Kiseena. He said this one "looked like a sneaky sort of person," and to Kiseena's surprise, offered a task that he would rather keep off the record. It appears this man (as it turns, this was Hrisskar, and it was his knife that Kiseena found and took from the Census building and his knife that now hangs at Kiseena's side) enjoys bothering the wood elf Fargoth, and has been having trouble doing so. Fargoth has been hiding his valuables, and Hrisskar wanted me to help him find them.

He told Kiseena that he has already checked out Fargoth's house and not found any hidden places. He suggested that Kiseena find somewhere that can watch the entire town like the silt-bug dock (no, no-no) or the nearby lighthouse and watch where Fargoth goes. It sounded a good enough plan, and money was involved. Plus, that short mer is sort of creepy. Kiseena bets he likes silt-bugs, too.

As luck would have it, Kiseena was able to sneak past the lighthouse keeper when Kiseena went to investigate Hrisskar's idea of a viewing place. Even better, just before the door to the upper landing, Kiseena found a book called The Wraiths' Wedding Dowry and a bottle of booze. Today will be a lovely, lazy day of sitting in the sun, drinking and reading, and keeping an eye out for creepy little elves.
