54 2. THE ELDER SCROLLS CHAPTER 2: DAGGERFALL<br />

supplies, like food, little things like that ... diameter of the cart wheels in square yurts ...<br />

ambush points for the priests, in case they try to get up there ... mmmmm ...<br />

SHUB: Tell you what - here is 500 gold. Go get things started.<br />

SHUB: Yes ... we can always make some more.<br />

SHUB: (aside, to Shub) Shut up!<br />

(Shub fires a spell at Shub that burns him to a cinder and then reconstitutes him)<br />

(to all) Excuse us ... where was I ... Oh ... get a merchant, guards, carts, whatever you think it<br />

will take. Come back if you need more.<br />

SHUB: But what about those priests?<br />

ADVENTURER: I've an idea or two there. Let me get friendly with them - maybe hire a<br />

couple of good lamppost girls, lay in a few cases of holy wine ... I'll have them eating out of<br />

my hand in no time. And if you show me where this Fools' Ebony is ... why, I can misdirect<br />

them, send them straight into an trolls' den or something.<br />

SHUB: You're the expert! Here, let me show you on a map ... and I don't need to mention Fire<br />

Daedras, do I?<br />

ADVENTURER: So ... seems to be ... hmmmm ... only thirty days there, this time of year.<br />

Maybe forty back, with the loads. Let me study this a bit more ...<br />

SHUB: Can't take it with you, of course ... don't want this getting out now ...<br />

ADVENTURER: Oh no. That's fine. Look, let me have a bit more gold. Going to need some<br />

heavy-duty carts. See here, this section ... cut by all these washes ... hmmmm ... the flummox<br />

there will be something terrible ... Oh, and these ruins, full of ghosts, I bet ... hmmmm ... and<br />

this pass, just full of willies too ...<br />

SHUB: If you say so ... My, seems that we picked the right man, right, Shub!<br />

SHUB: Oh yes, indeed.<br />

ADVENTURER: So -- why don't I make arrangements, get back to you in ... er ... say a<br />

week? Say -- sure that you don't want to come with me. After all, there's nothing like the<br />

wilderness life. Waking up with the sun, shaking off the frost. Catching an orc for breakfast -<br />

ever have orc guts fried over stinkwood? Oh, that's a treat! Checking each stream for dead<br />

giant spiders - or live ones! Imp jerky for lunch! Scanning the ridges for dragonlings!<br />

Standing guard against Ice Daedra in a blinding snowstorm! Oh, what a life!<br />

SHUB and SHUB (Together): No, no ... we, we better stay here at the Guild. Got our duties<br />

after all ... someones got to mind the store ... someones got to get the word out to selected<br />

customers ... No, thank you kind Sir, it does sound such a lovely life, but I think we best be<br />

here ... yes, indeed ...
