I'm sure they're all out to get you.

Perhaps you can win their favour by cooking a salty meal.

Even though I haven't "a-salted" Arissa, she now trusts me enough to actually do what I ask occasionally. Which is good. I can now tell her to wait somewhere while I sneak around without having to worry about her getting involved. She still likes to get into trouble though with her stealing fingers. But I also seem to be able to get into trouble all by myself. I got involved in a drinking game in Falkreath and woke up in Markarth!?



That's the place I had trouble getting to before (I do like that big guard tower!) I obviously shouldn't have bothered with that previous failed trek across a ridge of mountains, all it needed was some drunken shenanigans with a broken staff and some trespassing in a temple... apparently.
I have no memory of any of that but the priestess wasn't impressed.

They didn't rob you, though, I hope?

And one of the Gek has actually already promised to deliver a tasty meal, made from the "flowers that get their name from their delicious smell". They're called gutroot.

Sounds tasty. Just needs more salt!

I don't think I was robbed. I just had to clean up the mess in the temple and now I have to try and find the "other guy" to work out what he was trying to do with that staff. The priestess said something about Rorikstead so I'd better make my way there and see if I can fill in the gaps of my hungover memory.

EDIT: Apparently.... I did something with a goat and a giant?
And someone else is not happy about it.

did you shout something inappropriate?

I don't know!

I may have stolen the goat and sold it.

I have found the goat and giant...



but you know what happens with me and giants....



...one swing of the club and I'm high above the clouds again.
I tried shouting "Raan!" but that didn't help this time.

Maybe I need to find my drinking partner and that staff.



EDIT: Killed the giant!!

OK, it took numerous attempts with equally numerous launches into space, I must have completed at least four orbits of Earth (Oh, wait- It's not Earth, is it? It's the planet... *goes to google* ...Nirn.)
I tried sneaky archery whilst hiding behind a rock... Nope.
Then I had a go with magic, putting on all my mage outfits and dual-wielding lightning with one hand and fire with the other, all punctuated with a "Fus!" and a "Yol!"... Nope.
Finally I just went for a two-handed frenzy attack with my Elven Sword and... almost!
One more go... and... he's gone!

Arissa helped too. Obviously. Although during one of the fights she got clubbed into the air before me and thirty seconds later she almost killed me by landing back on top of me!

But now Grok the giant IS dead!
And the goat is now following me back to the angry farmer. He'd better be less angry when I get there.

sounds so adventurous... Meanwhile I have hired my fifth member of staff (of a total five) but it seems one of the others will get the sack. Actually it sounds more like he might end up "exterminated", but I'm not sure. He's the only one who's seemed "normal". And I think I need to rebuild my entire base, but if I'm going to lose my staff, I don't know whether it's all that much point to start yet. I mean, if I don't need all those work terminals and bedrooms I made...

yAY! My little Gek is staying on to tend the plants

Well it's better than being sacked/exterminated.

Space, there's just no end to it. Endless Space is currently free on Humble: www.humblebundle.com/store/endless-space...on&hmb_medium=banner

(I don't know anything about it other than there being space and a lot of it)

I think the space on my computer is limited.... but also that no man's sky supplies unlimited enough quantities of space...
