Jerric's Story, A Nord's Adventures in Cyrodiil Options

[treydog]

Don't you just hate it when the bad guys are also clever? Excessive salt in the soup, just to make sure Abiene would need the water... which Moslin Number 2 made sure to withhold until she was lulled by the lack of any obvious tampering with the food.

She again shows her courage (and her impulsiveness - not the best lesson to have learned from Jerric) when she confronts the odious inn-keeper immediately upon finding the diary.

And now a mysterious stranger. Hmm. Given everything else, I wonder if this person is trustworthy? I suppose we (and Abiene) will just have to find out.

Another most excellent installment.

"Dinner! Of course. Dinner will be served… soon! Very soon."
I get the feeling his cookbook might be named "How to serve Bretons..."

Uh oh, when he offered up that water and Abiene forgot to check it for poison, I was worried. Now I see rightly so. Up until now I had at least been confident that with her spells, Abiene would be able to fend for herself against anything the Innsmouth Folk threw at her. But now it just went from an action movie to a horror movie.

It seems like Abiene might have an unexpected ally among the Hackdirtians after all. Zadok Allen perhaps? Part of me wonders if it might be a trap. But the truth is at this point they do not need subterfuge. With her magic silenced, the Hackers can overwhelm Abiene with simple numbers any time they want to. So I expect this stranger is on the up and up.
