Vilya and I find Newheim's flagon as we complete a fighters guild quest which is a detour from the Orrerarrery repair quest which is a detour from the get your own happy stick from the mages guild quest which was a detour from ... I forget. It was almost a month ago. And since we were in the Colovian area we of course side tracked a bit to pick flowers.
Grabbing the flagon I found a tasty mace we could sell and that was the last straw. 'Encumbered and can't move'. Oh fudge. I've been running on load lightening potions since Bodean camp and have one left. I give Vilja all the repair hammers. Now she complains she can't move. Divide up the repair hammers until we can both move, save the game, swig the last potion. Cross fingers and hope we can make it to Moravyn's Peacemakers before we both need pacemakers. DASH!
Oh FORK! Too late in the day. Closed. Reload save game in Hrota Cave and wait till tomorrow. Gulp and dash again. Make it in the door of Moravyn's and up to the counter. Turn and relieve Vilja of the magical stuff that needs Moravyn to fix, the stuff I can fix, and the stuff for sale. I now weight, roughly, 6 1/2 tons.
I turn around and Moravyn is in the far corner and I can't reach him. I turn back to Vilja and unload most of the junk back on her. But Moravyn won't come back to the counter and Vilja can't move! And my potion has worn off. Not thinking too clearly I trigger exiting the shop and there we are stuck on the doorstep.
Reload. Back to Hrota cave picking up Newheims flask. I drink the potion and facepalm. Reload and wait until the shop is open and drink the potion. Dash.
Into Moravyn's. He is at the counter. But between me and Vilja is the orc, Truckbreath gro treeroots. I try to glimpse Vilja and accidentally triggering going outside. Reload the autosave. Orc is still sort of in the way but I can access Vilja and unload her inventory. Turning, I can't quite reach Moravyn. OH FORK and a few spooons!
I just dump a large pile of stuff on the floor and move to where I can trigger Moravyn. I pick the stuff back up and the glitch goes off. One of the items picked up triggers as stolen. Reload.
Vilja in place. Orc out of the way. Moravyn at his normal reachable place. Unload Vilja, turn and trying to speak to Moravyn I accidentally steal something on the counter. Reload.
Vilja in Place, orc out of the way, unload Vilja's pile, turn to Moravyn and sell the JUNK! oh fork. Not wearing my mercantile augmenting stuff. Reload.
Vilja in place, orc out of the way, unload Vilja, talk to Moravyn, break conversation, don mercantile gear and ... you guessed it. Moravyn has moved away to talk to the orc. Sweety takes over the controls and shoots the orc. Reload.
Vilja in place, orc out of the way, change to merchant outfit, unload Vilja, turn to Moravyn and sell all the junk. Then go to the repair screen and I accidentally sold Vilja's sword. Reload.
Sweety says she has to go to school. Gives me a kiss, hit the C key, fireball erupts. Reload as she trots off, giggling.
Vilja in place, orc out of the way, and I accidentally hit the door trigger. Quickly re-enter. Get placed, unload Vilja and turn to Moravyn. Trigger him. Untrigger him and don mercantile gear. Retrigger him, sell the stuff, go to the repair screen and the cost of repairing her sword is about what I paid for it. I check the Haggle and it's slid all the way to the left. Reload. Pause. Take a break and go for a bike ride.
Once more into the breach dear friends, once more! Unload Vilja, don mercantile, talk to Moravyn and the power goes off. Discover UPS doesn't work. This can't be happening.
Cleaned the house. Restarted the game. Turn to Moravyn while wearing mercantile, sell the junk. Reload. I forgot to repair some stuff. Repair stuff. Turn to Moravyn, sell the junk, reload. Repair stuff, talk to Moravyn. Adjust Haggle, sell stuff, get things repaired and exit the shop! DID IT!! Go 3rd person view to watch the kids play. Vilja is barefoot and my helmet is missing. Reload at Hrota cave, dash to Moravyn's and save. Quit game and type this.
No wonder it took us 2 1/2 years to go through Oblivion the first time.
