No sooner had Kiseena finished eating food stolen from the Census place than this one was set upon by an elf. Kiseena writes the words "set upon" because the wood elf in question was very strange. He began talking to this one in a way that was surprising. Kiseena is not easy to sneak up on.
The elf said his name was Fargoth. He asked if Kiseena had come from the boat, as this time of day boats are apparently a rarity. Before Kiseena could respond, the elf attempted to casually mention that he had lost a magic ring that was an heirloom. He claimed that the guards in town like to bother him regularly, and they might have taken it. Curse this one for forgetting mother's teachings! Kiseena hesitated in telling the elf Kiseena had not seen his ring - this one could see in Fargoth's eyes that he already knew the answer. Kiseena had to give the elf his magic ring. At the very least, the elf was grateful to have it back. He suggested Kiseena talk to his friend Arrille who owned the local trading house.
When this one was told of freedom (so long as strange package was delivered to Caius), Kiseena was given some gold for expenses. Together with more gold taken from unwatched room with food, going to see Arrille sounded like a good idea. Arrille was a high elf. Kiseena believes they are called "high" because they are very tall and have golden skin and like to wear expensive things. Arrille was no exception, but he was nice to Kiseena. He suggested that Kiseena buy a weapon and some armor if this one planned to keep living. Vvardenfell is a very dangerous place, it seems. He also said that many people make a living killing outlaws, and all-to-casually mentioned a cave nearby the "silt strider" dock. The silt strider is the large, loud bug that makes Kiseena squirm to hear or think of. Bugs should just not be that big.
Arrille had many things for sale. A nice bow seemed to go well with the dagger Kiseena had found in the Census place. Also a suit of white armor called chitin for the upper-body and matching gauntlets. This one would have bought more, but even after selling the silverware and bowls and curious book of stars, Kiseena did not have much money left. Not enough even for trip to Balmora on one of those silt-bug things, for which Kiseena is very grateful.
Maybe Kiseena should visit outlaws in cave like Arrille says.

I'll admit, I let my knowledge of the early game influence how I handled Fargoth and his missing ring. Normally, Kiseena wouldn't have returned the ring, as she likes the smell of magic items, especially stolen ones.
ReplyDeletePlus, it's not like she won't have a chance to get it back later.
