I can find artifacts long forgotten, burried deep beneath ancient tombs.
I can find lost valleys - unseen by mortal eyes for milennia.
I can find hidden secrets, forbidden - protected and guarded in the darkest corners of Tamriel.

BUT I CANT FIND FRIGGIN STRAWS!

Seriously, where do you find "Straw" ?

Guard: Need Supplies? See Belethor at his store. Sleazy little man, but he has good stock.

In your case, straw can be bought from any general goods store.

Thanks. I dont think I ever used general stores for anything but selling, this may be the reason for my "amnesia".

Try not to let Belethor sell you... He did once to me... Had to kill the group who bought me. -Shudders- Very.. Very.. Horrible things they did to me.
