Fargoth's Hiding Place

As I left the Trade House, I felt like I was about to collapse. I was very tired the whole time that I was in Seyda Neen. Now I have to go on a quest to make some gold to travel to Balmora so I can meet Caius Cosades. The lighthouse was very tall, with a fire burning in a pit on the top. I saw that this was the perfect place to spot Fargoth and his hiding place. I opened the wooden door to the lighthouse and saw a women standing there. I did not say anything, but nodded my head. The stairs that led up to the top of the lighthouse were very old. The stairs seemed like nobody has walked on them in a decade. There was no railing on these stairs, and the stairs trailed high which marked them dangerous. I cautiously walked up the stairs to find a bench at the door with book sitting on it. It was a rather big book. I glanced at it and saw the price for it. I could probably get a pretty penny for such a book. I could probably get 100 septims from Arille's Trade House for this book. I put the book in my travelers bag that I held on my back, hoping to get rewarded for it. I opened the door to find me on the top of the light house, overlooking all of Seyda Neen. The fire on top of the lighthouse was burning very brightly, so I stayed away as far as I could so I would not be seen. In a crouching position I saw the scoundrel, Fargoth, sneaking around Seyda Neen with a torch. He walked towards some wooden shacks and surprisingly walked into a murky pond. In the middle of the pond was what seemed to be a hollow tree stump. Fargoth moved silently over to the stump and placed items into the stump. I had found the hiding place. I waited for some time for him to walk away and then I rushed down the stairs to retrieve the items and give them back to Hrisskar. I rushed over to the stump and found 200 septims and a magical ring. With these items I went back to the Trade House, walked up the stairs and gave the items to Hrisskar. "Well, this is fine work. I thank you for your deed and in return give you the 100 septims I promised. You can also keep this ring you found, I have no need of it. Thank you." I replied, "Don't mention, thank you for the 100 septims. Do you have any suggestions on how I should get to Balmora?" He said, "Well it is not but a fifteen minute walk from here to Balmora, but it could be dangerous. I suggest taking the Silt Strider for 15 gold. I believe it is a bargain." I took his advice, but that night I rented a room again and slept through the night soundly. The next morning was very sunny and hot. Not a lot of people were walking around, just guards. I walked out of the city and read a sign post with about 10 tags on it. These tags were pointing in the direction of certain cities. Some of the cities included Gnaar Mok, Plegaid, Ald Ruhn, and Balmora. In the distance I spotted what I believed to be a Silt Strider. I walked over to the bridge where a man was standing. A strange, fierce wind came in from the Inner Sea to the south almost knocking me and the man off our feet. The wind seemed strange for a minute, but I believe it was only in my head. I talked to the man by the Silt Strider, "Hello, I would like a ride to Balmora, please." He said that the price would be 15 gold so I graciously excepted his offer. The trip to Balmora was relaxing and peaceful. All of a sudden a strange bird creature, a Ridge Racer attacked us. I drew my axe ready to fight it off or even better, kill it. The minute I drew my axe the driver drew about 5 throwing stars. The first he through missed by an inch, but the next was right in its head. It collapsed on the Silt Strider and I threw it off into the Bitter Coast. I thanked him for the assistance and we finally arrived in Balmora……
