Completed Let's Play TES: Morrowind - Bloodmoon - Part 50: Long Live Fluffy!

[Eriador]

Part 1: Fluffy's Island Adventure!

Spoiler

Meet Fluffy!

He's got some skills.

Still, he's an outlander, hated by everyone.

And a victim of racial profiling.

His dreams of a standup comedy act shattered...

...he was eventually forced into a life of crime by the bigoted Dunmer society. Thankfully, joining the criminal underworld was very easy. All it took was for Fluffly to walk into a local bar and the first person he met randomly asked him to join their gang.

He was a natural at this. All it took was to wait for the right opportunity.

Shiny!

Jackpot!

But one day, he robbed the wrong house.

He should've left as soon as he saw that strange, half-naked old man.

But as soon as he saw the familiar substance on the old man's table, he couldn't help himself.

It reminded him of Elsweyr.

Unfortunately, the old man didn't like to share.

He was very displeased, as Fluffy could tell from his fabulous purple spell effects. Fortunately, he seemed to be a pretty bad wizard, as he constantly kept failing to cast the same spell, until at last his magicka ran out.

A fight ensued.

It took many tries, but ultimately, Fluffy prevailed!

Some entity started ranting about how Fluffy just doomed the world or something, yet he paid the voice no mind, as it was probably just a hallucination caused by all that Moon Sugar.

Speaking of Moon Sugar...

After a wild night of partying following his successful robbery...

...Fluffy was attacked by an assassin! Everyone else must have been frozen in fear, for they just stared at the assassin attacking Fluffy without trying to help him or call the guards or flee or anything logical. Probably all that Skooma and Moon Sugar. It drains Intelligence.

Thankfully, although scary-looking, the assassin went down surprisingly easily to Fluffy's silver shortsword.

Sadly, due to racism gameplay restrictions, Fluffy couldn't equip the whole set and thus left the mask and the boots in his inventory. Still, it was a nice upgrade over what he was wearing.

Fluffy reported the attack to the authorities, yet they were not of much help. It was obvious who he angered. The old man must have had some powerful friends who were trying to avenge his death. Clearly, Fluffy had to leave Vvardenfell and lay low somewhere else, if he were to survive. He couldn't trust the law-enforcement, for then he would end up in jail. He had to flee! But where?

Solstheim, that's where! It was a part of Skyrim, therefore Morrowind authorities couldn't pursue him there and it was isolated enough to provide many hiding places against these annoying assassins.

After some travelling via Silt Strider Airlines, our hero reached Khuul, not a very cool place.

Thankfully, the locals were friendly and provided our hero with directions.

And they had a sense of humor too! Maybe Khuul was a pretty cool place, after all.

Visibly nervous, Fluffy paid for the trip to Solstheim and jumped aboard. A long voyage awaited him, hopefully no one would follow him to that frozen wasteland.

As the ship finally reached Solstheim shores, Fluffy wondered what fate has in store for him. This was to be his new home. And he had to make the best of it.

Part 2: Booze for Everyone!

Spoiler

After chatting with the argonian, it seems Fluffy's best option is to talk to this Captain Carnius- sorry, Carius and look for work. After all, he won't last long here without money.

Fluffy now.

And so Fluffy goes off to Fort Frostmoth.

The local soldiers appear to be in a foul mood and refuse to talk to Fluffy for longer then absolutely neccessary. Fluffy tends to have that effect on people, but maybe there's something else going on here.

After his long journey Fluffy clearly didn't have time to bathe. Hopefully he will find some time to remedy that.

Anyway, let's go see Cornius.

Captain Faux Carnius takes just one look at Fluffy and already calls him a disappointment. Poor Fluffy just can't catch a break

So it's not just the sight (and smell) of Fluffy that caused all this. What a relief, Fluffy can now feel slightly better about himself. Hopefully this will be a paying job.

Fluffy tries to talk to the first soldier he can find, yet it almost proves disastrous when he notices the stash of booze Fluffy smuggled from Vvardenfell. Fortunatelly he doesn't arrest him and our hero, well-acquainted the concept of bribes happily gives up his booze in exchange for freedom and information.

Oh, they don't have booze, that's why they are so . Everything makes sense now! Let's break the news to Cornelius and end this silly prohibition.

Ok, seems the local priest has problems with people having fun. Typical. Let's ask around about this Antonius.

Fortunately, Fluffy bumps into that drunk guard from earlier. He is still drunk, obviously, no sober person would consider speaking to Fluffy a privilege.

Someone's lying here. Carius said the priest was against the booze, yet this guy says he was all for it. Let's ask the priest himself.

Well, looks like we have our main suspect and possibly a motive, just need to find proof.

Fluffy goes to the priest's office in the armory as that seems to be the best place to start looking.

Seem's like the place. Fluffy's on the case!

The desk is locked, but Fluffy manages to open it. Inside, we find the priest's secret booze stash.

Hmmm, Skooma... Fluffy resists the temptation, he has a job to do!

Lock Level 90, eh? Let's try this...

It takes about a dozen tries, but at last, Fluffy prevails! Now, let's see what's inside...

Fluffy just got trolled hard by the developers priest. This cannot stand!

On the way to the priest, Fluffy shares his spoils from the priest's stash with the soldiers to make them like him. Sadly, there's no option to ask for money, otherwise Fluffy would've found his new occupation.

A quick check of Antonius's pockets reveals no key, so it seems like this is the only way to open that damn closet. Since I'm curious let's briefly check it out and then reload.

Sadly, there's no option to promise to keep his secret to get the key and then ratting him out anyway. Would be a perfect revenge for that pickable/unpickable lock. If you report to the Captain, you automatically tell him the priest had nothing to do with it.

Upon seeing all of this, Fluffy is suddenly in heaven. Afterwards, neither he, nor the contents of this cabinet are ever seen again. THE END.

In another universe, Fluffy actually decided to have standards and gave up a lifetime supply of booze in order to do what's right. Very out of character for him, but then again, Fluffy is full of surprises.

Wow, so he didn't even have to bother with this ridiculous plot, he could've just ASKED to be transfered? Truly, that guy deserves everything he got for being a giant moron.

Fluffy himself gets 3 potions of Cure Disease and an enchanted Silver Shortsword for his troubles.

Pretty good, even if it has less raw damage then Fluffy's mundane Silver Shortsword, for whatever reason.

Anyway, let's get our next mission.

Ah yes, Fluffy's first quest on Solstheim that actually involves combat. Level 1 Fluffy vs Level 40 something Smugglers. This will be fun!

 

[Wayward Son]

Moar

 

[Eriador]

Part 3: Khajiit Tactics

Spoiler

This is our first option for a temporary companion. She is better in combat then the guy, but not good enough to be anything else then a distraction.

You don't technically have to keep your companion alive, but of course Fluffy will get his friend through this in one piece.

This guy is worse in combat, but he saves us time and gives Fluffy an alternate way to end this quest, so Saenus it is.

Also, Fluffy gained a level due to an Acrobatics increase, but since there's no bed in which he can rest without it being a crime, he will have to stay at level 1 for a little while longer

Saenus tells you directly who should know about the smuggler's hideout. If Fluffy chose Gaea, he would have to ask around to learn of Zeno's ties to them on his own.

Another difference is that with Saenus, Zeno will immediately tell you the information you want, while with Gaea you need to have a high Disposition with Faustus to learn of their hideout.

It probably wouldn't have made a difference here anyway, since Zeno loves Fluffy due to all the free booze he got from him.

His mission clear, Fluffy and Saenus leave the fort and head Northeast.

On the way to the caverns, they meet this woman, who warns Fluffy about the local gangs of violent nudists.

Appropriately enough, as soon as Fluffy exits the conversation, he spots one of those freaks in the distance running towards him.

It takes only three hits of Fluffy's sword to put down this unarmed and unarmored maniac.

He drops a pretty cool-looking helmet, sadly it's medium armor, so Fluffy won't be using it.

Anyway, we were told to lok for a cave in the northeast and these cliffs look promising.

Found it!

Fluffy and Saenus enter the caverns and at first, they find nothing hostile save for a few rats that are easily dispatched.

But seemingly out of nowhere, this guy appears! He is around level 40, surprisingly high and pretty OP for a bunch renegade legionaires smuggling weapons. Gaea, the "legendary, undefeated warrior" survives about 6 hits before dropping dead and has trouble actually hitting them, even worse for Saenus. So, either Gaea is massively overhyped or these guys are secretly Dragonborn or something.

I guess it's just game mechanics, since clearly this is supposed to provide challenge for a character that already finished the base game. I just hope it doesn't get silly like Oblivion, with bandits in full Glass Armor.

They all use Paralysing weapons, so fighting them in melee without magic resistance is a massive pain in the ass.

Anyway, Fluffy has pretty much 0 chance in a fair fight, since his lame level 1 self dies in two hits (and even if he didn't, he would just end up being stunlocked to death), but he doesn't intend to fight fair.

One option is to simply gang up on him with Saenus and keep attacking as fast as possible to keep him staggered, but that doesn't work too well, as he occassionaly gets an attack through. The first time, Saenus died, the second time, he was at about 60% HP when Fluffy finally ran out of healing potions and died.

Well, let's try diplomacy now. They said somehing about making a deal with them. Fluffy leaves Saenus moping in the corner and sneaks over to the smuggler.

His Calm Humanoid spell gets through, but sadly, there doesn't appear to be any dialogue option to arrange said deal.

(Lol at Antonius WHOcius)

Anyway, since I was starting to get tired of this, Fluffy used Lover's Kiss on the Smuggler. It took a few tries (and reloads) before the smuggler failed to resist it, so now, he is paralysed for 60 seconds, giving the bastard a taste of his own medicine.

Then, it was time to take out the shortsword and stab him as fast as possible. A standard potion of restore fatigue is enough to refill Fluffy's fatigue.

After all the charges on the shortsword were depleted, Fluffy switched to Bow and started shooting at the paralyzed smuggler in point-blank range, until at last, he was defeated.

The only noteworthy thing he has on him is the axe. Fluffy sucks with axes, but still, the effect is useful enough to hold onto the axe just in case.

After this battle, Fluffy and Saenus decide to rest in front of the entrance to the caverns and Fluffy finally levels up. As you can see in the picture, Saenus keeps a "very" close eye on Fluffy, ensuring that no assassins sneak up on him while he sleeps. Although he might be overdoing it a little bit.

Rested and refreshed, Fluffy and Saenus venture deeper into the caverns. Well, ok, actually, Fluffy leaves Saenus and his creepy face sulking somewhere and goes alone.

Killing an annoying rat seems to have attracted the attention of the other smugglers. Fluffy promptly engages sneak mode to lose them.

He sneaks over to an area with some locked chests, but there's nothing noteworty inside.

On the way back to creeper Saenus, Fluffy notices three other smugglers. Clearly, his original tactic with Lover's Kiss wouldn't work this time, since they were in a group. He needed to do something else...

Fluffy and Saenus check out the isolated northern area, where they find some Stalhrim crystal. Unfortunately, Fluffy can't mine it, but this area seems like a much safer place to ditch Saenus's creepy ass.

Afterwards, Fluffy goes to deal with the smugglers, relying on the fact that even with his below-average intelligence, he is still more intelligent then these guys.

Fluffy takes position on a small stone ledge next to stone ramp. The orc smuggler isn't intelligent enough to just around and kill Fluffy, insted he tries to attack Fluffy as soon as he thinks he is in range...

...and thus ends up falling into the small chasm that separates them, making himself a prime target for Fluffy's arrows. He keeps running round the place like a crazed chipmunk, so he was a lot harder to hit then it looks. A few times, he actually managed to get out of the hole and onto the ramp, only to fall off again. Some people never learn.

Anyway, about 30 steel arrows later, he is dead.

Fluffy changes his focus on the other warrior, who seems to be very unlucky compared to his predecessor, for when he fell off the ramp, he actually got stuck on some rocks and thus was completely at Fluffy's mercy. He got none.

Meanwhile, the mage seems to have abandoned the combat after Fluffy one-shotted his surprisingly-crappy Clanfear summon and went back to guard mode. He was just standing there, almost completely obscured by the cave wall. The only visible part of him were his feet, which was just enough for Fluffy. He just kept shooting the mage's feet while in sneak mod. The smuggler mage lost half his health and Fluffy fired around 15 arrows before the mage even noticed something was hurting him.

He shot a poison spell at Fluffy, but thankfully a Standard Healing Potion was enough to heal through it. His Clanfear summon died again mere seconds later.

Yet the mage seemed to be a cunning opponent indeed. He did the most unexpected thing. For he actually ran up the ramp, PAST FLUFFY, and like a homing missile he went straight towards the room where Fluffy left Saenus. Fluffy wasn't about to let this be ruined by the death of that creep and so he gave chase, yet he could barely keep up.

When Fluffy got to the chamber where Seanus was, he saw the mage running around Saenus in circles for a moment (sadly not pictured), then charged straight at Fluffy, totally ignoring Saenus. Saenus himself seemed to be deeply hurt by Fluffy's constant abandonment and thus refused to even lift a finger to help. Sorry Saenus, but you are not Fluffy's type.

Fluffy was impressed by his opponent's cunning move. He had lured him away from his hiding place, and so he was totally vulnerable and with that jerk Saenus too busy brooding. He kept going backwards, while slowing down his opponent with arrows to stagger him. Unfortunately, he did catch up to Fluffy before he could get out of the tunnel, so in a desperate move, I used the Eye of Fear Khajiit Racial power to demoralize him. Thankfully, he didn't resist it, and so he ran away in fear, down the ramp, until he randomly stopped in the middle of the room.

For some reason, he did not move further even when the power ended and just let himself be shot at by Fluffy without doing anything to stop him, seemigly having given up entirely.

After putting him out of his misery, Fluffy went back to get Saenus, who seemed to be overjoyed that Fluffy-senpai finally noticed him.

Their leader Spurius charges at Fluffy with his paralysing staff, but stops as soon as he notices Saenus is with him. Apparently he wants to cut a deal. If Gaea was here, he wouldn't try to negotiate at all and simply attack.

Spurius leaves to let Fluffy think this over. Fluffy asks Saenus what he thinks is the best course of action.

Fluffy and Saenus decided to rest for a while to think this over (this time without Saenus invading Fluffy's personal space), yet their sleep was interrupted by another assassin. So, one of them had followed him to Solstheim! But Fluffy wasn't about to be killed by some ninja-wannabe. He dispatched the assassin with ease (Saenus helped), then went straight to Spurius to make his choice.

So, kill him or not? He doesn't have any particulary worthwhile loot on him and actually gives you an axe. I'm thinking of letting him go, simply because I can't be bothered to go through another fight with these guys.

Fun fact: Even if you cut the deal with Spurius before killing all the other smugglers, the other smugglers are still hostile for some reason.

 

[Wayward Son]

I'd suggest giving in and allowing him to get away.

After this battle, Fluffy and Saenus decide to rest in front of the entrance to the caverns and Fluffy finally levels up. As you can see in the picture, Saenus keeps a "very" close eye on Fluffy, ensuring that no assassins sneak up on him while he sleeps. Although he might be overdoing it a little bit.

FluffyxSaenus fan fiction nao.

 

[Codexlurker]

So if I get this straight you're asking if we want to see a cat turn into a dog basically? Ridiculous.

 

[Eriador]

Sadly, there aro no Werecats in this game.

Part 4: Off-screen Werewolf Attack

Spoiler

Having enough of this, Fluffy let's Spurius go and gains a slightly better axe of paralysis then he already had. But since this one weighs 2 times as much, he will keep the other one.

Before we return to Frostmoth, let's explore this dump one more time.

Behind Fluffy's garbage repository, he finds a potion of invisibility.

A wolf shield, another addition to Fluffy's arsenal.

90 chest? Surely, there must be something awesome in there!

The weapon stash he kept talking about were those locked chests Fluffy raided earlier, but there was nothing worthwhile in there, just some basic weapons and armor.

Anyway, Fluffy with Saenus in tow leaves the caves in the middle of the night and heads for the fort.

Ooooh, pretty sky!

The place seems to have gone to shit since Fluffy and Saenus left. I guess someone found all the Skooma in Antonius's closet shared it with everyone.

This woman from before is still here, standing at the exact same spot. Creepy. And then he speaks up and from his voice I realize he is actually a guy. Sorry for wrongly assuming your gender, Reinhardt! Really, the name alone should have been a dead givaway, but I didn't pay attention.

Seems they are doing a bit of remodeling here. Thought it looked better before, but maybe it's some modern art thing I don't get.

Ok, maybe it's that, but who on Solstheim has access to siege weapons strong enough to destroy these walls? Or magic nukes. Well, we shall see.

Per Saenus's suggestion, we go straight to the captain...

OH GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENN-

Oh, it was just Saenus trying to fuse together with Fluffy to be with him forever. He knows Fluffy is going to ditch him soon and this was his last pathetic attempt to be with Fluffy-Senpai. Clearly, Saenus is a Yandere. Thankfully, Fluffy resisted his scheme.

Anyway, captain is not here, so we talk to a nearby guard. He tells Fluffy to go find the girl he didn't choose.

Heartbroken Saenus does everything to keep his object of adoration from completing this quest and losing him forever, standing in doorways and blocking Fluffy's path. He also starts losing his sanity, as evidenced by the dialogue.

But even that can't keep Fluffy from completing the quest and finding Gaea, who seems happy to see him.

Oh, so it was werewolves! Yes, werewolves attacked and destroyed the walls with their bare hands. Badass! Or maybe they've got some werewolf cannons that launch exploding werewolves or maybe some evil werewolf magic that did that. Or maybe the fort just fell into disrepair, because everyone in it is now perpetualy drunk, thanks to Fluffy. Whatever it is, it's Fluffy's fault, surely.

Looks like Fluffy has a new quest!

Say goodbye to Saenus, since he is now irrelevant and Gaea is our new quest-giver.

Finally free from his stalker, Fluffy goes back to the captain's quarters to steal everything valuable.

Since Frostmoth has no shops in the market for expensive tableware, Fluffy stashes it in the captain's bedroom and uses it to store his ill-gotten spoils. He also gets a good night's rest in the captains bed. Since he's not around, he doesn't mind. Thankfully, no annoying assassin interrupts his sleep.

This jerk here wants Fluffy to run an errand for him. Since he isn't offering any money and Fluffy has better things to do, like the Main Quest, he isn't interested.

It seems that the Skaal village is on the other side of the island and there's no Silt Strider service on Solstheim. Well, should be quite the journey...

 

[Eriador]

Part 5: Candy from Strangers

Spoiler

Fluffy sets out on his journey and passes Reinhardt, still standing at the same place. Maybe he's a werewolf spy!

Accross the river, he spots some woman and a wolf on a hill. Maybe she can give him directions. Let's approach them!

Upon seeing Fluffy, she freaks out, sics her dog at him and uses dark magic to summon a ghostly apparation. Fluffy gets this all the time.

Anyway, this doesn't end well for Fluffy, as he falls to the hag's mighty green goo magic.

Take 2! Fluffy baits the wolf with his bow, then finishes him off in melee when he gets too close.

He then sneaks over to the fryse hag and shoots her in the head a couple times.

She has a pretty cool dagger, which Fluffy takes for his own use.

Once finished looting the dead body, Fluffy makes his over over to the giant middle finger on the hill.

Fluffy can't do anything here yet, so we press onward.

Right as he leaves the sun stone, a snowstorm starts. Fluffy presses onward, undaunted!

Unfortunately, he is immediately attacked by magical talking animals.

Oh, oh it was just that berserker, nvm.

With the help of some potions, Fluffy survives this gank and decides to rest for a while to heal his wounds and level up.

Some wolf interrupts his rest and tries to eat him, upon killing it, he goes to sleep again and finally reaches level 3.

Fluffy finally meets someone who doesn't want to kill him on sight. Of course, he wants something.

A distraction is just a polite way to say meat-shield.

So he wants Fluffy to tank the dungeon boss while he does the DPS. Ok, Fluffy will do that, so long as this noob doesn't ninja all the gear.

In gratitude, Ingmar proclaims Fluffy his blood brother, then sacrifices a wolf to his ancestors to seal the deal. Seems Fluffy has another stalker.

The entrance to the barrow was just behind Ingmar and the draugr he needs to kill waits just in front of the entrance to save your time. This quest is truly nextgen! It's also a preview to how quests will work in TES 6.

As requested, Fluffy just stands there and lets the ghoul punch him, while Ingmar does the DPS. The lack of a healer isn't an issue, since Fluffy makes for a surprisingly effective tank, since the draugr has great trouble actually hitting him.

Ingmar wisely passes on all the loot. The draugr didn't drop anything, so let's check out the rest of this 1-room dungeon.

Fluffy gets a nice tanking trinket, but sadly, no epics. He still can't mine the Stalhrim.

After looting the place, Fluffy decides to ask Ingmar about the chick that stupid priest wants to find. It seems she is on a personal crusade against alcohol. Wonder how she will react once she returns to Frostmoth and sees what Fluffy did to the place.

Fluffy rests in the barrow to heal before pressing onward.

After killing some wolves in the way, Fluffy comes accross a weird house in the middle of nowhere.

Near the house, Fluffy finds a dead khajiit with Moon Sugar. Shame he is gone, I'm sure he and Fluffy would've been best friends.

What's this?

The whole thing:

He he! Ha ho! To the workshop he will go!


My Uncle's candy is so sweet! It's such a yummy winter's treat! When the sugar is warmed by the pale hearth light The happiness spreads throughout the night!


He he! Ha ho! To the workshop he will go!


Uncle Sweetshare is coming near To spread his candy and his cheer! It's better than trinkets, games or toys So say all the little girls and boys!


He he! Ha ho! To the workshop he will go!


Candy, candy -- he makes so much! Uncle Sweetshare has a magic touch! So it's back to the workshop in the snow! With lovely lanterns all aglow!


He he! Ha ho! He he he ha ha ho!

Said workshop is right here, so let's go get the sweets!

Screenshots can't convey the full experience, so just watch this video from some guy on youtube.

Uncle Sweetshare offers Fluffy candy. Fluffy's parents never told him about the dangers of accepting candy from strangers, so he of course accepts.

ZOMG, NO WAY!

Since Fluffy is a greedy ass, he takes all of the "sweets", aka Moon Sugar. Unlike the late Gaius Cosades, Uncle Sweetshare doesn't mind.

However, Uncle Sweetshare does mind Fluffy taking his favorite pipe.

He casts a burden spell on Fluffy, preventing him from moving, but since Fluffy has a bow, it doesn't help Sweetshare one bit.

Standing over Sweetshare's lifeless corpse, Fluffy feels some kind of Deja Vu. Like he was in this situation before. Wasn't something like this why he fled to Solstheim in the first place? Why does this keep happening to him?

Oh well, let's loot him. Grandmaster's Mortar and Pestle, aswell as the hat will make nice souvenirs.

Satisfied with his loot, Fluffy goes to sleep in Sweetshare's bed.

 

[Eriador]

Going on a vacation for a week, so this will be the last update for a while. But don't worry, Fluffy will return!

Part 6: Social Issues on Soltsheim

Spoiler

After a good night's rest, Fluffy continues onward, battling bears and nudists...

...blue midgets...

...creepy seal things...

...and glitches.

After these epic battles, Fluffy seeks shelter at the nearby Mead Hall, conveniently also the place where the buzzkill priestess went to preach about the evils of alcohol.

A pretty cozy place.

Ok, since we are here, we might as well do this quest.

Let's talk to this Erich guy.

Erich is uncooperative and Fluffy's attempts to charm him keepe failing.

So Fluffy does the one thing that always works. He showers him with money. Fluffy gives Erich 1100 gold to become his best friend.

Yeah, this guy is not a nice person. Fluffy's definitely gonna kill him later and not just to get his money back.

Before moving on, we introduce ourselves to the Chief.

Seems Fluffy didn't have to give all of his money to that asshole afterall. Oh well, let's get on with this and then get it back.

Fluffy now has to rescue a damsel in distress. Unfortunately, Fluffy is male, therefore this quest is very sexist. I apologize for this, but you have understand, this game came out during a less enlightened time. Early 2000s, to be precise. Basically Stone Age.

The lock is only level 50, so Fluffy easily unlocks it.

We find out the woman we have to save is a redguard, so it's also racist. Once again, a relict of the time period, please forgive them. They didn't know better back then!

While pretty bad, it could've been worse. Thankfully, this game is rated Teen and not Mature.

Like the sexist pig he is, Fluffy agrees to rescue her.

Angered by Fluffy's unforgivable sexism, Erich attacks him as soon as Fluffy walks downstairs, hoping to teach him some proper manners.

To make this less "problematic" for the modern audience, Fluffy gives Erich the nice big Lover's Kiss and let's Mirisa punch the paralysed Erich for about half a minute, while he just stands back and watches her get her revenge. There, no longer a male power fantasy! GO GIRL!

Once he gets bored, he joins the battle, first with his shortsword and once that's depleted, he switches to his bow.

Ence he is dead, Fluffy takes his money back from Erich's corpse.

Nobody in the mead hall cares about Erich being dead, which is understable.

Then again, they also don't notice Fluffy has already rescued Mirisa, so maybe they somehow don't realize it was Fluffy who killed him right in front of them. This is a mead hall and nords are always drunk, so it's possible.

Oh sorry, that was racist. I apologize to all of my Nord readers for my insensivity.

Before leaving, Fluffy takes a nap in Mirisa's former prison cell.

After leaving the mead hall, Fluffy comes across another weird monument, this one is Beast Stone. Fluffy isn't the dovahkiin, therefore he can't use his Bend Will on the stone to destroy it and foil Miraak's evil plot. We will have to wait until he levels up.

On the way to the village, Fluffy encounters some blue midgets riding boars and wisely avoids them.

Finally, he arrives to the Skaal village, with Mirisa in tow.

No one in the village actually wants to talk to Fluffy, so let's go to the Greathall, the building just behind Engar.

Ok, the Skaal don't like Fluffy and want him to atone for the one thing that actually isn't his fault. Before we talk to the shaman, let's return to Frostmoth and get rid of Fluffy's newest stalker.

Unfortunately, Fluffy can't use a scroll of Divine Intervention to return to Frostmoth without leaving Mirisa behind, so we have to go back on foot.

Which means going though a lot of blue midgets, aka Rieklings.

On the way back, a female nudist climbs atop a rock and tries to seduce Fluffy with her feminine wiles. Silly woman, Fluffy is saving himself for Saenus!

Upon witnessing this, enraged Mirisa charges the female berserker and puches her in the feet as hard as possible.

30 berserkers, 20 wolves and 5 bears later, Fluffy and Mirisa return to Frostmoth. And yes, that creepy blond guy is still standing there.

In Frostmoth, he meets this woman and- wait, moon sugar investigation? And she knows Fluffy is a criminal? Oh no, she's here to arrest Fluffy!

Luckily, it seems like it's not about Fluffy after all. Or is it?

Ok, this seems familiar. Let's confirm this with the priest.

Mirisa finaly leaves Fluffy's side and tells him to get his reward from the priest he was going to see anyway. Convenient!

After getting 300 gold for saving Mirisa, Fluffy learns the terrible truth of just who he killed. Well, he's finished, the investigation is gonna lead to him sooner or later. Better just turn himself in to the authorities and hope he will get time off for good behavior!

Luckily, the authorities are actually very impressed by what Fluffy's done and reward him for murdering a senile, defenseless old man who just wanted to bring joy to everyone. Fluffy gets a whole 1500 gold for this "heroic" deed!

Reporting back to Gaea closes this quest and gives Fluffy a reason to go through the whole "atonement" process. Let's leave before Saenus decides to stalk Fluffy again. Back to the Skaal village!

So, any thoughts? Commentary? Criticism? Anything in particular you'd like to see this LP cover? I thought about only doing the main quest, but if you are interested, I could also do some sidequests and maybe that Raven Rock questline after I finish the main quest.

 

[Eriador]

Ok, I'm back!

Part 7: Fluffy returns!

Spoiler

Fluffy should return to the Skaal village and atone for the sins of his "kind". But that will have to wait. First, he has some "goods" to sell. Seems like it's time to return to Vvardenfell!

Sadly, Argonians can't wear boots, so it's actually impossible. Sorry my friend, this game hates furries

Fluffy takes a quick trip to Balmora, carefully trying to avoid any assassins, guards and dunmer bigotry. He arrives under cover of night.

First, he visits his dear friend Ra'Virr, who scams gullible dark elves by selling them budget versions of Daedric weapons.

Fluffy has no need of those however, as he already stole his own real Daedric weapon, fair and square!

Instead, Fluffy sells Ra'Virr his skooma and moon sugar from Sweetshare, as well as all of his stolen goods. As a khajiit, Ra'Virr of course has no problem with this, unlike those racist dark elves. A true bro!

Also, Fluffy buys some ceramic bowls, since he's got a gig at the nearby tavern. Gotta pay for that Moon Sugar somehow, now that Sweetshare is dead

Thankfully, Fluffy is a much better juggler then a stand-up comic. Shame he did not discover his talent earlier. It's too late to join the circus now, with random assassins on his trail.

He spends most of his ill-gotten wealth to on training, to be an even better thief (and actually be able to pickpocket something of value).

He also buys the spell he should've gotten much earlier, for now he has to go back to the Skaal village on foot

He spends one last night in Balmora, meditating on his experiences. All of that random jumping has paid off, since Fluffy is now level 4!

After returning to Solstheim, short on money and eager to get paid some more, Fluffy decided to postpone the long trek back to the Skaal village, he needs cash and this Carnius might have some work for him.

He finds the fabulously-dressed Carnius in his office on the top floor of the Imperial Shrine. Of course, he knows a talented "merchant" like Fluffy would be a great addition to the East Empire Company. See, who's a dissapointment now, Carius?

Now one of the ruthless capitalists seeking to strip-mine this island and kick out the indigeous population of crazy naked nords, evil hags, blue goblins, werewolves and other such innocent creatures, Fluffy has his first assignment! He has to escort some workers to the colony site.

He finds the workers standing around at the docks of Frostmoth.

Fluffy is meant to lead these 3 weak, unarmed men who die nearly instantly through the deadly wilderness of Solstheim.

Braving extreme cold, encountering hordes of bears, wolves, berserkers, rieklings, hags and who knows what else. An escort quest from hell, where the death of one of these men means you fail forever. Should Fluffy fail, he will be cast out of the East Empire Company and the colony shall never be established. This shall be an epic tale of one khajiit and three men, who've all learned the true meaning of friendship and sacrifice...

Of course, Fluffy is all like "fuck that" and just takes the boat there like a smart person. Not sure why they didn't think of that.

On the way to Raven rock, Sabinus and Gamin have finally kissed and admitted their feelings for each other. After a beautiful marriage ceremony performed by Gidar with Fluffy as the best man, they've somehow fused together into one single entity in order to be literally inseparable, an act of true love. After getting horrible flashbacks of his time with Saenus, Fluffy tries his best to finish his quest and not run away in terror.

In order to purge what he'd just witnessed from his memory, Fluffy takes up the favorite pastime of colonial powers everywhere and kills some natives to steal their land and valuables.

Not much around here right now, but hopefully, that will change soon.

Finally, Fluffy manages to find Falco Galenus and gets rid of his new 2.5 stalkers. Unlike them, he hopes never sees them again. The wounds are still too deep. It will take years of therapy before he forgets about Saenus...

Eager to get this over with, Fluffy agrees to look for the ebony ore, as hopefully it will mean less time spent with Gidar and the newly-born Sabimin, devourer of souls.

So he just turns around and realizes that Falco is either blind, stupid or really lazy, as there's a giant deposit of ebony ore right in front of him.

After walking the short distance and mining 4 large chunks of ebony with his bare hands and claws, Fluffy now has to take them back to fancy man in charge, Carnius.

One scroll of Divine Intervention later and he is back at Frostmoth.

Carnius might be a giant douche, but he is 100% right about Falco.

In addition to gold, Fluffy has received a share in the East Empire Company. Right now, it's not worth much, but over time, its value will grow.

To get some quick cash, Fluffy returns to the smugglers cave and sells the stolen weapons and armor back to the legion, who don't seem to find anything wrong with that.

After this long journey, Fluffy retires to the quarters of missing captain Carius and takes a well deserved nap, gaining a new level in the process. In the morning, he will go back to the Skaal and take part in their stupid "trials".
