Oh, well. I seem to know a lot about wrong directions at the moment.
I've just been having a looong walk in Morrowind. I thought I'd do those Mages Guild quests that take you to Molag Amur near Marandus.
Boy, was that a long walk! I thought I could do a quick stroll, complete the quests and then continue onto Nchuleftingth (or however you spell it.
) Annoyingly there are no real paths round here so it's mostly cross-country stuff, but there ARE lots of lava pits and they spew out all kinds of ash that mean you can't even see a few metres in front of you. Yay.
Of course there are plenty of beasties on the way... if you can see them. AND a lot of them are diseased. Yep, got infected again but had a potion this time.
Eventually I got to Molag Amur (although I did have a final awkward battle where I had to take on a Guar and two Cliff Racers at the same time!) and I successfully completed the two quests with a bit of persuasion and bribery, but now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere. With Nchuleftingth still too far away (yes, I just cut and paste the name instead of trying to spell it again.
) I was hoping to stay and rest in some local place but there's very little here but lava and ash and rock. I thought maybe there'd be a town/village but the two quest locations (Punabi and Sulipund) are really just little caves and most of the people in one of them just want to attack me (and they're too good for me to kill.
)
So I tried to make my way down to Marandus and found that to be a large, imposing fort with no discernible entrance!
Maybe I should walk all the way around this biiig lake to try and reach Suran, at least there's some fast travel from there...
*walk* *walk* *kill Guar* *walk* *walk*
*get attacked by something I can't see through all this fog and ash*
Must be a rat! *blindly swing axe at ankles*
*walk more* *kill Cliff Racers*
*waaaaaaalk*
*suddenly see guy throwing stars at me!*
Aaaand I'm dead.
Great! My last save is all the way back at that fort with no entrance. I feel some more walking coming on. I wish I had those quick boots that Banj found.
