Oblivion Quiz Thread #20

Post » Thu May 26, 2011 7:06 pm

Welcome to the Oblivion Quiz Thread

Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment,
the manner in which information is collected and used.
- Dr. Carl Sagan

Rules

1. Only one question should be asked at a time.

2. The first person to answer correctly will be responsible for providing the next question.

3. If you know that you will not be able to stay to validate a response to your question within 30 minutes, either please don't ask or someone else should ask another question to keep the quiz flowing.

4. Be patient. It can take time to come up with a good question. If you answer a question correctly, you will have 10 minutes to come up with your own question. Your time will start when your answer is validated. After that time someone else may take over.

5. Please base you questions on things that are to be found in unmodded Oblivion, Shivering Isles and the DLCs. Try not to include questions that involve lore that cannot be found in game, or rely only on the Construction Set, Console Codes, or Glitches to answer.

6. PLEASE DO NOT SPAM If you have a question about the rules or about anything that is not Quiz related, please refrain from posting it in this thread because it will make the moderators grumpy.

7. Finally, if you feel the need to discuss a question, please do so using the PM feature.

8. Please let the person who asked the question say which answer is correct, unless that person is offline and has been for 20-30 minutes. Then anyone else may ask the next question.

Since the other thread was almost full, I'm just starting a new one! :)

The wedding ring given to you by the Grey Fox to deliver to Millona Umbranox? Last time I checked, that thing was worth 200 gold and it only weighs .2 lb! That's 1000 gold per lb if I did the math right. :blink:

Well, Zero weight items with gold value have infinite value per pound...

But if you're not including zero weight items, then I'll say a Mundane Ring.

Exactly right, on both counts. :P I was waiting for someone to suggest something weightless, then I was going to smack them and tell them the value-per-pound of a weightless item wouldn't even be a real number. Just infinity.

:turtle: for you.

The mages guild enchanter in Chorrol is In Charge of enchanting. Get it, In Charge.


Okay, I'll take the :turtle: :D

Anyway. Q: where do the Orum Gang get their skooma supply from?



You mean the waterfront district of the IC?



The drop-off point at Kingcrest Cavern?


FWIW I dispute this. She gets the Skooma from the IC and delivers it to the Thugs. Not the other way around.

Contumeliorus Florius is the name, but close enough.

You're right.
Oghash gra-Magul's Page:
On Fredas, she leaves Cheydinhal at 6am and heads up to Walker Camp. Once there, she hands over all her Skooma in return for whatever gold the primary Camonna Tong Thug is carrying. Later the same day, at 10pm, she will hand over the gold to Dulfish.

I've been holding back because I can't keep monitoring this thread when I ask a question.

But I guess I'll go ahead one more time:
