    No, Bell knows about Skyrim. She has a map. She even knows about Skyrim weather and some about its animals and other dangers one might encounter on the road. She hasn't come to Skyrim unprepared. But she doesn't know anything about the Nord culture. The only thing she knows is that Nords are savage and don't need a reason to start a fight. And she also discovered that they don't bathe. She isn't the only Altmer who is appalled by that though.

    Ostium woke up with Meeko sleeping on the foot end of the Bed. He made Breakfast for Meeko and Himself. They finished eating and Ostium got Dressed. He took a few Wooden Plates and a Flagon and put them in his Bag. Ostium played for a little while with Meeko in the Woods.After warming up went the duo behind the shack and down into the Marsh. Ostium put a few Flowers on the Grave and went on.

    They encounterd a few Mudcrabs and Spiders. Ostium was able to extract some Venom from the Spiders, enough for two Vials. They found a large amount of Deathbell flowers and swamp pods. Ostium kept a close Eye on Meeko to make sure he wouldnt eat anything poisonous. After a while of gathering the two of them stumbled upon a small Town. Ostium looked for the Inn and entered. Ostium Rented a Room for him and Meeko along with a Warm Soup for him and meat for Meeko. He asked the Innkeeper a few Questions about the Town. The Conversation drifted off into Rumors and gossip, He thanked the Woman and went to Bed.

    Small Entry for now will follow up with a longer one later ^^

    Ostium woke up and Meeko and him had Breakfast. While eating, he struck up a Conversation with the Innkeeper Jonna. He asked her about Morthal in General. Jonna tells him about Lami, according to Jonna she is a Great Alchemist. Ostium decides to pay Lami a Visit.

    He entered her Store, telling Meeko to wait outside. After introductions Ostium pulled out one of the Vials of Spider Venom he collected Yesterday. He asked her if she knew anything about this Venom. Lami explained how the Spiders use it to hunt. It slows down the Blood flow of the Victim almost like it was freezing the Blood. This slows down the Victim itself making it easier to Kill. Thus the Name Frostbite Venom. Ostium thanked her for explaining and asked if he could use the Alchemy Lab. Lami nodded and Ostium went to work with the Ingredients he gathered in the Swamp.

    He made multiple Venoms from the Deathbells and a vicious Venom which damages the Targets Magicka and drained Magicka continiously for a few Seconds. A few hours went by and he had a conversation with Lami most of The Time. She brought up a Book she searched for some Time now called "Song of the Alchemists". She offered Ostium some Free Alchemy training if he gets her a Copy. Ostium agreed but told her not to expect it to soon, since he would be traveling Skyrim for a while. She let out a chuckle "I have searched so long for it now, a few Months dont mean anything". Ostium smiled and sold her a few of his potions and Ingredients to make room in his Bag.

    He went back into the Inn and ate Dinner with Meeko. He asked Jonna about if she had a Map he could buy. Jonna pulled out a Scroll and unrolled it.

    "A Map is 5 Septims".

    Ostium Payed and asked her if she could show him a safe route towards Whiterun. "Follow the Road towards Dragonbridge but take a left when the Road splits. Follow the road and go through Rorikstead. Keep going and then you should be able to see Whiterun you cant miss it. But dont go off the Road arround Rorikstead, the Plains are filled with Giants and Wolves".

    "I'll Watch out, Thanks for the Help Jonna".

    Ostium rented a Room for the Night and went to Sleep. The next Morning after Breakfast Ostium payed Lami another visit. He recalled how Meekos Owner died and not wanting to end up with the same problem he bought two Cure Disease Potions, Reassured Lami he will find the Book and went on his way to Whiterun.

    Again little entry.

    Following Jonnas directions , Ostium and Meeko traveled the Road. Fighting a Few Spiders and Wolves. Ostium stopped as he saw A Carriage and 2 dead bodys on the side of the Road. He Investigated the surroundings and the carriage itself, finding a Journal. He skimmed through it but it was only about a Woman complaining about her Husband. He put it in his Bag and continues searching. On a Blood splatter laid an Ear. It was not Human, it resembled Elven Ears but it was malformed. He found a few Arrows next to it. They were crude and made out of what looked like chitin. He got an Idea.

    He called over Meeko and let him sniff the Arrow. After a few seconds of sniffing the Ground Meeko ran off and jumped into the river next to the Road.

    On the other Side were 2 Tents a and a Fireplace. Ostium pocketed the Arrow and followed Meeko through the River. They arrives at the Camp and Ostium looked Arround. He found a few Iron Arrows and another Journal. He read through it. It described how a pair of Adventurers were Hunting something. They mentioned the Carriage He just found and how it couldnt have been done by Man or Beast. They tracked the thing they were Hunting up to a Cave further ahead.

    Ostium put down the Journal and stored it in his Bag. He fed Meeko and ate and drank something himself. He checked his Bow and Arrows and his Poisons and Signaled Meeko to follow him. Both of them entered the Cave....
