Thanks for the support. People like you inspire me to keep going when life and work and crap take over and leave me no time to play. Thanks, bro.

I do plan to, yes. Work just got super crazy with lots of trips and my Xbox hasn't been on in like 2 months, lol. It's a travesty. Sorry to keep you all waiting. As soon as I can I'll continue the story. d;-)

I'm not sure what to do next. I tried bribing my way onto a boat in Ald Velothi, but the captain was uninterested in my gold. He wouldn't even take it just to listen to me. My reputation has preceded me in the worst way.
So I made my way north to Khuul, taking care to avoid a daedric ruin on the coast. I followed the coast and fought off worms and rats until I reached the small town at nightfall.
All I wanted was a meal and a bed, and I've been denied both. Oddly enough I was able to convince one of the traders to give me a bit of gold for some supplies I've been carrying. But gold is not what I need right now. I need a pillow for the night and a ship for the morning to get me out of Morrowind.
It's only a matter of time before guards or bounty hunters catch up with me.

Why make a character whos life is basically like another? In my opinion, the whole hardcore thing is just like having two lives. The real world one and the Skyrim life. I would never hardcore it. Frankly sir, you have guts for doing it.

I mostly just do it for the added challenge and the added immersion. It helps me enjoy the RP aspect more. d:-)

How do you backstab a Dragon?
I guess I just don't understand. I couldn't possibly play under such restrictions. Good luck.

Trust me, the added difficulty makes the RP so much more real. You really are just a guy, not some immortal godbeast.

Generally, no. It's usually written to make it seem like a diary, instead of a vlog.

Fredas Evening / Khuul
I knew there was something off with that fetcher redguard when I first saw her. Lucky for me she visited Thongar and was inquiring about a boat to Blacklight .. or anywhere off of mainland Vvardenfell. Thongar was quick to send word to me and I confronted the woman, confirming she was indeed the one with the bounty on her head.
Poor thing tried to run. Tried to jump into a small boat and make away. But the boat was tied up and she wasn't fast enough. I was almost happy she resisted. Outlander scum. Bringing her criminal ways to our land. Only a shame the fight didn't last longer. She barely had landed three blows before I crushed her skull.
And now I have this curious book of hers. A journal of some kind. Also odd that I felt compelled to write in it.
Either way, I sold her belongings off to Thongar. But this book I couldn't. I'll keep it for now. And I'll keep it quiet. No need to turn over anything to Neminda when I see her. I'll just claim the fetcher had nothing on her of value like most outlaws. Even if she asked around Thongar would have my back. I always have his.
In the morning I'll head to Ald'ruhn and report the news. And collect the bounty. It will feel good to have some real coin in my pocket for once.

I had a 7-month hiatus from my Xbox because of work and personal stuff. The night I fire it back up and go to play my character gets killed, lol. I was like NOOOOOOOOOO ... and I've spent the last week or more building this character up. Haha.

I think I slept the entire way to Ald'ruhn. That's saying a lot, as a silt strider is not exactly a smooth ride.
I have mixed feelings on my situation at the moment. Neminda made no mention of the bounty when I spoke with her. No doubt she is planning on keeping it for herself. I should be angry, and in some sense I am, but she also spoke with me about a promotion within House Redoran. Coin in my pocket would be nice but a promotion could be as well. Khuul is not the most interesting little village to patrol all day every day.
Apparently this guar herder Drulene is having some trouble with bandits. I remember helping this woman some time ago, when I was just a recruit in House Redoran. Seems she's still having issues. I'm not surprised. She lives in the middle of nowhere. I got horribly lost the first time I tried to find her. Hopefully that doesn't happen again today.
I think I better pick up some extra supplies for the journey just in case.

I've decided to wait until morning to head out to Drulene's. I spent longer than anticipated shopping for supplies and I don't fancy wandering about in the dark in an ash storm.
My shopping was worthwhile, though. In addition to procuring food for the trip and a few additional potions, I wandered into an enchantment shop and found a very nice enchanted mace for sale. It cost me half my remaining gold, but I think it will be well worth it, especially since I'm expecting to face some serious trouble carrying out my duties for Neminda.
But that's for tomorrow or the next day. Tonight I'm taking a break and having a drink. Perhaps I'll read through the rest of the book as well.
