I finally did the goat cheese quest. Thank you, PeKaJe, for the moxie tip. I found in my inventory all the things I needed to raise my moxie above the critical limit (weapons, clothes, accessories).

First I took the sabre-toothed lime with me --->>> smarmy adventures. Then I switched it with the ghuol whelp --->>> more mysteriousness for me. It was a good , productive day, despite the fact that I was full and drunk before I got the last chunk of hobo gristle *sigh* *hic*
