Anyway, back to blogging.
My first stop was the Thieves Guild, mainly because they're nice and clear bounties for you. I join and then leave, headed for the other side of the river to join the Mages Guild. I decide to do the missions here since they're relatively easy. As a side note, most Mage Guild quests don't really require magic, at least in the beginning and I'm pretty sure the need for it doesn't increase too drastically the further you head up the ranks. Anyway, I did every mission I could do for Ajira a Khajiit. Her first quest and third quest I've already technically completed. In her first quest she wants you to collect four mushroom samples, and the third she wants four flower samples. You can get all the mushrooms before leaving Seyda Neen, and you can get all the flower samples on the road from Seyda Neen to Pelagiad. I handed them over and she thanked me with 4 Cheap Health Potions, really helpful. The second quest was to betray a fellow Mage Guild member. She wanted me to replace a soul gem in her rival Mage's Galbedir's desk, luckily Galbedir is leaving her desk momentarily to go downstairs for some reason. So you take the Fake Soul Gem, walk upstairs, and place it in her desk while taking out her real Soul Gem. On her desk lies a lot of Soul Gems with some pretty nice souls in them, since no one's looking I just take all of them. I go back down to speak with Ajira. She thanks me again and I ask for another quest. Third quest is the flower one! I hand them over and she gives me Six Cheap Magicka Potions, even more helpful, especially considering I'm a Barbarian! Bah, I ask for another quest, and she asks for a Ceramic Bowl, and gives me 10 gold. I run of to Ra'virr, who I'll be killing pretty soon... buy the Bowl and run back.
I come back and she's panicing. Apparently while I was away Galbedir stole Ajira's reports and hid them. She asked me to get them back. I hand her the bowl which she doesn't give me
anything for, and I'm off. Galbedir sucks at hiding things. One is in the room right next to Ajira and the other is upstairs near some baskets. I hand them back to Ajira who hands me one potion of Exclusive Fire, Frost and Lightning Resistance and two Exclusive Spell Absorption. Upon the completion of this quest she tells me to come back when I'm a Warlock. That will take a while, and require me to spend a lot of money on training. Almost all of my magical skills are 5, the leader of that particular branch of the Mage's Guild wouldn't let me advance past the second rank so I leave the Mage's Guild and head to Ra'virr's shop.As soon as I arrive I try taunting him, my Speech Craft skill sucks, so I don't think it'll work but might as well practice. One of them works, but obviously that's not enough to make him attack me, so I pull out my sword and attack him. He pulls out a warhammer, which was the first weapon to kill me if you remember. Ironically, it's the second weapon to kill me as well, argh! Luckily since I'm smart I saved before I attacked so I just reload. This time I lay the smack down on him and win. I take everything I can sell off of him and run across the street to sell it. Immediately afterwards I book it to the Thieves Guild to get rid of that nasty Bounty, they already came in handy! YAY!
Being the greedy little Nord I am I spent some time stealing random things from around town, from Crates lying around outside, peoples homes, the Guard Towers, anywhere really. So I sold all that for a little bit of money and then got bored of it. I used the money I got from being a thief
to improve my armor to full Bonemold sans the Helmet because I don't like Helmets. It's the official armor of Hlaalu Guards, so it has to be pretty good right? I used a bit more money on buying Alchemic apparatuses and used most of random things I found to make potions, I mostly failed, but my Alchemy skill increased by at least 1 if not 2 so it was kind of worth it. Afterwards I finally visited Caius Cosades and joined the Blades. He gave me 200 gold, and upon further bothering him for quests he told me to research the Sixth House Cult and the Cult of the Nereverine. First I should head over to the Fighter's Guild and ask Hasphat about them. He also told me to learn about Morrowind's history since I was to become part of it and handed me "A Short History of Morrowind. I'm going to hold of on any Blades activity until much later in the game, at least until I beat the Mages, Thieves and Fighters Guilds.I left his house and headed for a secret trainers house, those are other people working for Blades, I visited Nine Toes and he handed me four pieces of Moon Sugar and told me they were illegal and that only a Khajiit would buy them. Wait, so a guy working for the Empire is dealing in ILLEGAL DRUGS? It was rather odd, but I ran off to Ajira's to sell them and got a lot for them. I also remembered that I think I left a bit of Moon Sugar behind Ence's
shop in Pelagiad, I found it in one of the Bandit caves early on and knew it be worth selling. Anyway, I did the first couple of Thieves Guild quests to pass the time. The first was to snatch a Diamond, luckily the local Apothecary carried them. So I hurried over there and, not wanting to pay money, went upstairs and broke into a chest above her bed. Lo and behold a Diamond was inside. I rushed back to the Guild leader Sugar-Lips Habasi and she thanked me with some reward that I don't remember. Please note that I forgot to write the rewards down for these quests. Moving right along, the second quest was to get a hold of a Nerano Manor key, which was located across town. I went inside and killed the owner with relative ease, actually, with no trouble at all. Luckily in Morrowind the Thieves Guild doesn't punish you for unnecessary bloodshed, unlike Oblivion does. With the key in hand I proceed to loot the place and then take it back to Sugar-Lips. The third quest required I went to Hla Oad, which I deemed to out of the way for right now since there's no fast travel there.I left the Thieves Guild and headed over to the Fighters Guild. Ironically with me being a Barbarian it would be the natural choice for me to join it first but instead I join the other to Guilds that don't suit a true Barbarian in any respect. Of course in Morrowind that doesn't really matter. So I join, and the first quest is to kill a bunch of rats in this nice Pillow Makers house. So I run over there and kill them all, they obviously don't put up much of a fight being rats and all. The lady there thanks me and pays me 100 or so gold saying that's how much she agreed to pay. I went back to the Guild awaiting my next task. The next task was to slay a bunch of Egg Poachers outside of town, I deemed that too out of the way as well and went back to the Mages Guild. For the rest of my stay I wasted all my money raising all my Magic and Stealth based skills to 10 or above. At the end of the day I still had a couple of skills below, but I didn't have enough money by that point.
I decided to head towards Ald'Ruhn next for some more Guild quests. I apologize for the lack of pictures this time around, but I kind of forgot, and don't worry, there's even less in Ald'Ruhn and Gnisis... heh.
