The Saga of Scales: Table of Contents
4th of Second Seed:
I received word from the master....his delivery did not arrive as scheduled in Solitude. He has dispatched me to collect his brute or at least ascertain his fate.... Time is of the essence if I am to pick up the trail but given that it seems the ship went down in the Sea of Ghosts...and given his talents.... I see no reason why Scales-of-Iron is dead. I have charted my own small vessel, quick and sleek to hopefully locate the wreckage of the Skinny Horker. Cute name....stupid nords... I wish the master would send me elsewhere, away from the bloody snows of this awful land. I will continue to log the journey, helpful with rechecking notes and clues in addition to focusing my mind. I do love to write....too bad Scales never learned to read and write.....
5th of Second Seed:
We arrived as fast as possible, ship wasn't hard to find. Big bloated freighter was just sitting upside down in the waters of the coast. Not exactly sure where we are....should be close to the border between Winterhold and the Pale...I can see the outline of Winterhold on the horizon, along with that massive statue of Azura....bloody dunmer, deserved that eruption. No, Scales wouldn't head that way, never did care much for city life. No I bet he will head towards something a little less civilized. My money's on the lighthouse up on the cliffs. Can see that beacon from here (though apparently the ship didn't....) and likely a good spot to check. Been a few days but might get lucky once I reach the shoreline and pick up some tracks. Not the stealthiest of quarry I have ever tracked....big guy's claws are all over the bottom of the hull. Looks like he he was walking around in circles up here and judging by the few items scattered about collected what he could from the dead passengers. Interesting assortment that, a male redguard below decks, a female altmer with a fresh manicure...likely Thalmor, and a orc male laid out on some ice nearby. Thought he might have been killed by Scales at first, but seems he drowned too. Not much else of note, all the bodies were stripped and frozen solid. Best I can figure he has a 3 day head start. Best get hunting....
