That would be awesome. Get Nondrick some hash browns. As mentioned before it does feel like it's rushed. I felt rushed just reading it, but it still is funny so keep up the good work.

So pardon this second post. In the world of Cyrodiil, you'd have to be very lazy indeed to become fat in any degree, seeing as how there are so many magical cures, and of course, all of that manual labor to burn off the calories. Also, walking, running, and being an equestrian burn off calories too. Plus, no junk food! Not to mention, you never know when you'll have to defend yourself, so there's that incentice alone to be healthy. Or to be able to run fast if you choose to flee over fighting. That even applies to wealthy people. My personal doctor would probably love for me to live in an evironment where one worked hard just to live day to day, so there is no exercise for it's own sake to avoid being overweight, because working does it for you.

I nearly swallowed my gum a few times! Too bad that you don't have the mods that allow you to grind bones & skulls, and gems, so that you could use them for alchemy ingrediants. There's also one that give flower bouquets a price so that they can be sold, or used in alchemy too! Marshall Dog has a point too about living in a world where Magic isn't a myth but an everyday reality and thus is not just an art but a science too, for which Alchemy is a part of. Oh, yes, the chapel people, not the church people, I don't think I've seen "church" used in game, sell helpful spells not available anywhere else, including "Convelesance" (Sp.?) that allows you to heal others. Oh, and buying that house is considered a quest. Will Nondrick be engaging in the Master Trainer quest for his chosen profession as an Alchemist? The "Vampirism Cure" quest and Nirnroot picking quest would also seem like naturals for Nondrick. Funny post! I nearly swallowed my gum a few times!

I've only been around for a few hours. Literally, I just decided to read this today. Sorry I've been ignoring it for so long. I'm caught up to this point, and am quite impressed. Nondrick is such a loveable character, and he might have inspired me to buy Oblivion and try it for myself. Anyway, regarding your post about Nondrick being a man of science and not religion... Nondrick lives in a world where there is evidence for prayer working to cure disease. Therefore prayer as cure should be science to people in his world. If you still want to cure through alchemy that's fine, but don't say one is science and the other not when they both seem to work. I hope my nitpick doesn't get lost at the bottom of a long string of comments. Keep up the good work! -MarshallDog Hey,

Being a vampire, he's practically immune, but I've still managed to contract 'witless pox' from a rat and (oddly enough) poryphyric hemophelia (or however the hell you spell it) from another vampire. Also, don't forget that being an alchemist, Nondrick is more than capable of making various poisons - something that would definitely provide him with an edge when he is unable to escape combat. In particular, poisons that damage fatigue are pretty cheap to produce, and after getting hit with a couple of then, most bandits will pass out long enough for Nondrick to make an escape.
