Let's find the tax collector. Where there are tax collectors, there's money. Fargoth is our best friend now, so we cannot betray him. Can we inform him about Hrisskar's plot against him? That ring seems like it's decent for overworld travel, so I suppose we could take it. We should find some armor before trying to take out the smugglers, but our axe arm is itchy after that first taste of violence...

Do we have any spells at our disposal right now?

For next time: If you were a river I'd be a dam because dam u fine.

We have Hearth Heal, a starting level healing spell thanks to our amazing Restoration. We can cast it like, twice because we have shit mp.

He's a tax collector, he keeps his books. When we come looking for his murderer, we don't want them to hold anything over us, like, say, a few hundred Septims that didn't get plundered from his corpse. I am sure the grateful townspeople will reward us manifold for our honesty, although their apathetic responses may not betray their desire for justice.

In lighter news, Yook is looking very swanky in his sky-man clothes. Does he run exceptionally fast with the scroll as well?

KILL, no criminal scum gets off easy on our watch.

Everyone knows that the best kind of smashing is that which is sanctioned by the authorities. We shall take him to justice the way only a Nord knows how; a soft and tender loving in his backside by Little Yook. His axe.

Justice cannot fully be served until we have returned the ring, so we must do that. Afterwards, we can indulge in further state-endorsed smashing by smashing smugglers; by now our bloodlust cannot be sated by petty unarmed criminals. Meanwhile, we are looking sufficiently strong to weather any storm that blows our way, be it would-be-assassins falling from the sky or anything else.
