This is what happens when you don't clean your case for 6 months
[The comedic factor in this story may be down a little I'm not really feeling up to writing this but seeing as I want to continue playing I kinda have to document my adventures.]
I advise you start by reading parts 1, 2 & 3.
Having left the sewer and re-visiting his prior short term residence (the jail) Gimpy is in a merry mood. He’s been cleared of all prior charges against the Emperor, partly because he has the Amulet of Kings and partly because the Emperor is actually rotting in a swer somewhere. To Gimpy’s suprise nearly everyone he saw in the Imperial City had already heard words of the Emperors death so when he went to gloat about having the Amulet people just sneered and jeered and walked on.
Gimpy knew the task he must complete. His quest was to Weynon Priory to deliver the Amulet of Kings to Joffrey. Here his quest would end and he would finally be a free cat. First though he must make his way from the gates of the Imperial City all the way to Chorrol and the Weynon Priory. The distance is long and the road is full of perils but Gimpy must preceed, on foot!
(I actually fast travelled the road this time because I really couldn’t be assed walking for the 3rd time : P)
Gimpy met many foes on his path but eventually reached the edge of the priory. Now Gimpy being the proud warrior that he is needs a break after all that walking. Every soldier knows that he needs Cake and Tea every 40 minutes to avoid hunger, thirst and tiredness. Gimpy also notes that he probably should get a new cake and tea stool because the one he’s been using is pretty beaten up from his travel. Gimpy looks around the Priory and finds a few priests and some horses. Gimpy of course still hasn’t obtained a horse and ponders stealing one from the Priory, he decides against it because he’s just too lazy.
Eventually after searching for a while Gimpy locates Joffrey and shows him the Amulet. Joffrey seems suprisingly unstartled by this turn of events explaining that he already knew of the Emperors death (“How did everyone know?” wondered Gimpy. [No seriously???]). After some convincing Joffrey accepted that he had done everything he could to help save the Emperor and awards you a further quest; this time to find the heir to the throne so the Dragon Fires can be re lit.’
Gimpy accepts the quest begrudgingly (he needs the money after all) and makes his way off on vacation. Gimpy’s vacation takes him to some new DLC which he just aquired.
To be continued…
This time I’m not doing a full story this is just a quick update. The next full story will likely be much later tonight when I have finished the next part of the quest(s). This one also includes some missing screenshots from part 2.
Since our last encounter Gimpy has had a 27 hour nap, has increased his acrobatic skill dramatically by jumping all around the Imperial City grounds, He’s also been back to visit the prison in which he was incacerated for a quite a stint after conning the Emperor.

I advise you read The Adventures of Gimpy: Part 1 & Part 2 before continuing.
Gimpy, having just been attacked by a nasty trap made of wood fashioned into spikes is now recovering in the corner a little shaken (not stirred). He wonders who could possibly have set such a nasty contraption up, who would hate him THAT much! Gimpy is a very self centered Khajiit and so he figures that someone MUST be out to get him that could be the only logical reason for that trap.
Further down the tunnel he’s in a Goblin awakens from his midday nap. Heins a family man, goblin and alchemist often enjoys a nice midday nap to recover energy for playing with his kids later in the day. He wakes abruptly having heard the outer defence system he had in place to stop those dastardly rats getting through triggered. He figures the rats are probably dead and should go and clean up just in case the family comes home through that door (Wouldn’t be a nice surprise).
On his way down Heins notices a few herbs which have regrown through the spring, he stops to pick them and adds them to his trusty alchemy bag which he keeps on his person at all times just in case of scenarios like this! He finds several different herbs some of which are very rare and will manage to pay for food for his family during the winter months. He continues down the tunnel thinking to himself that he could perhaps make a nice rat stew for the family when they come home from goblin school (Mrs Heins is a talented teacher, and the kids are in grade 3, and 6).
Heins is nearly at the back door when he sees the triggered trap and a strange looking cat-like creature hunched over in the corner weeping. He runs down quickly to see if the trap has caused this strange creature any harm and to see if he can help out. Gimpy unfortunately sees this as an act of aggression and before Heins can say anything gimpy has rammed his blunt sword right through his neck. Gimpy then precedes to steal Heins’s rare herbs and makes his merry way back through the poor goblins house to the front door.
Eventually Gimpy makes it to the goblin settlement underneath the Imperial City covered with bright green goblin blood and his sword still dripping he makes his way through the town and kills all the Goblins who are attacking him with all kinds of magic and different weapons.
This of course is all a huge misunderstanding and Gimpy can’t help but wonder why all goblins are just so downright aggressive. Gimpy comes across a mage – already dead – holding a giant staff with another goblin head attached. Gimpy picks up the staff and squeezes the handle, brilliant blue lightening shoots from the tip.
Brilliant Blue Lightening from a Goblin Head? How odd...
Gimpy makes his way out of the cave through another passage where he hears the distant sound of the Emperors voice. He runs forward to see the two Blades and the Emperor safely arriving into another stone walled passageway. He jumps down a few more ledges and makes his way over to the party. No sooner than he is half way there when two more armoured mages leap out and start attacking the Blades. “No more of this!” he thinks as he charges his lightening goblin. He shoots down the two mages only to be greeted by sword from the Blades. Before the Blades can strike Gimpy the Emperor yells “STOP!”.
Gimpy is saved, once again by the Emperor. He is confronted by the Blades and then the Emperor who asks about his star sign. Gimpy of course has no idea what star sign he was born under having been an orphan he did not know either of his parents and doesn’t even know his own birthday. He answers a series of the Emperors questions who determines that he is born under the sign ” The Atronach”.
Gimpy and the party make there way through the tunnel network and are met by three more mages as they go. They make quick work of these mages Gimpy’s staff comes in handy! Eventually they reach a barred, barracaded door through wich they can not proceed. The Blades ask Gimpy to stay with the Emperor and guard him with his life. As the Blades disappear into the distance the Emperor asks Gimpy to take the “Amulet of Kings” from him as he thought his time was nearing an end. Gimpy begrudgingly takes the Amulet, no sooner than he has it in his backpack does a Mage jump out of a hidden passage in the wall startling Gimpy and nocking him to one side the mage pulls a long dagger from his battle armor and slits the Emperors throat.
The Blades run quickly back in to the room only secconds too late – They annouce they have failed the Emperor and that I (Gimpy) must continue on to Weynon Priory near the town of Chorrol (I changed from third to first person here I don’t know why). Gimpy – who simply wants to attend magic school in the city and to continue to carry out white collar criminal schemes very angrily accepts this quest. It was the late Emperors Amulet after all.
Gimpy makes his way slowly out of the tunnel and sewer system that winds underneath the Imperial City untill he is standing on the shore of a large lake facing some ruins.

The Lake and Ruins
I advise you read The Adventures of Gimpy: Part 1 before reading this part.
*Announcer Voice* Previously on The Adventures of Gimpy: Having been let out of the Imperial Jail by the Emperor himself Gimpy found a spot of trouble fighting against some mages but with the help of the Emperors trusted “Blades” he made it through with naught but a few nasty scratches.
A nearby stone pile collapses and out pops a gigantic rat! Now this rat isn’t your average household rat either, its got a taste for blood; Gimpy’s blood. Gimpy looks hopelessly at the rat as it squeals and waddles toward him in a flash of brilliance gimpy pulls out a sword and beats the rat to a pulp – it crawls off somewhere to die. Now the sword Gimpy is using is about as useful as a wooden spoon (which he tried to use beforehand but he couldn’t equip) because Gimpy just beats his enemies to death with it instead of trying to cut them.
Now Gimpy is confused dare he follow the Emperor who told him to stay or should he make his own path a different way, back through the Jail perhaps to beat up (with his new found skills) that prisoner who insulted his bloodline but before Gimpy comes to a decision he has thinking to do, and how better to think but with Cake and Tea.
Gimpy pulls out his somewhat busted up Cake and Tea stool has a seat and starts his own fire to warm up a nice cup of Earl Grey. Gimpy thinks back to his reading days as a boy and remembers a keen word of advice by his childhood hero “When in doubt always follow your nose”. He’s just seen a hole in the wall where the rat popped through only problem is Gimpy is a portly fellow, not too fat but not too skinny either so the hole isn’t quite big enough for him.
Gimpy pulls out his sword again and yells an insult about the walls family charging toward it he wacks the wall with the hilt of his sword but with no avail the wall still stands strong. “What do I do now?” he ponders seeing as he doesn’t want to betray the Emperor’s wishes (who he’d conned just earlier that day) he could not try an alternate route.
Eventually he decides to charge at the wall one last time – Gimpy hears a loud cracking noise and backs away. The wall collapses to reveal a further 4 giant rats. Gimpy figures he now has some rat killing expertise under his belt so he goes at it strong this time he throws in a little magica he’d been taught from his childhood books. He lights the remaining two rats on fire and jumps around a little as his own hand is scorched by his inexperience.
Gimpy moves quickly through this new found cave to find a broken old wooden hatch that looks asthough it was once used as a storage room. He runs up to the door to find it locked and seemingly very strong. He tried a magic trick he heard about from a friend to open it “ABRACADABARA” he yells.. *POOF* and a snake appears it laughs evilly and slithers off under the door. “Drat!” he announces, Davith tricked me again!
After some long hours of searching he finds a trinket box with a bunch of hair pins. He pulls out one of the hair pins and reads the inscription on the side: “Ye Olde’ Haireth Pinneth by the Ye Olde’ Hair Pin Association”. After quite a bit of fiddling and bending he tries to lock-pick the door but the pin breaks off in the door “Stumped Again!” he exclaims angrily. Eventually after much more fiddling Gimpy makes it through the door only to be confronted by that blastedly snake again!
Gimpy stomps on the snake repetedly untill it *POOF*s back out of existance. He laughs maniaclly to himself about how good he’s getting at killing things (Sounds like he might need some ‘help’). Wondering down the passageway he comes to another door, this time it’s unlocked.
As he steps through the doorway he feels a slight pull around his ankle and hears a banging noise – toward him are some gigantic wooden spikes attached to the roof with rope that he just tripped on while walking through the door. Gimpy narrowly dodges these flying objects and skampers over to the corner where he rocks back and forth for a while considering his own mortality.
To Be Continued… Here.
Sorry no screenshot this time I hadn’t actually decided to write this while I was passing this point.
