@mALX: I think that was her too. If Aravi hadn’t killed those adventurers, she might have taken a shot at her. She wants to be absolutely sure that every kill she makes isn’t another innocent though. She’s forcing herself to take a lot of risks, but she hates what she did, and she’s willing to take those risks. I really don’t think that she’s ready to be back in but realized that too late to turn back.

I got her to use it on a creature! It helped that it was a huge spider though. She hates them as much as I do.
Thanks mALX!

@Acadian: Hey! I was pleased to see that you were able to make it over here before you fast traveled to Acadian Senior’s. You always seem to enjoy the videos most that I'm the least happy with. Lol.
She would be totally devastated if Vilja were killed, probably enough that she would soon end herself.

Heh, Aravi’s pretty strict about what she’s willing to eat, and she wouldn’t even allow a horse to eat an apple that was on a vampire living in the nasty sewers.
Thanks Acadian!

@Grits: It’s some glowy vampire thing, but what it is beyond that? I don’t know.

I’m kind of happy you pointed out that she bumped into the corpse, that got her full attention for a split second even in the middle of a fight.
I couldn’t believe that she made it that close to the vampires without being detected! I was sure she was going to be spotted.

The sewers aren’t a place I’ve spent a lot of time either. I’m pleased that there was a quest down there so I got to look around some. It makes me curious as to what else is down there.
Your team comment made me realize that they did do a pretty good job fighting together down there.

You really like them don’t you? She’s currently out of the IC but when she goes back I’ll make sure she wears a new SILVER belly chain just for you
Thanks Grits!

Aravi and Vilja finally find the vampire that murdered in the Merchant's Inn...

TIME: 8:00

I can tell the death of those Adventurers has affected how Aravi is approaching enemies - she is close range fighting with everyone now - kind of a scary position to be put in when fighting vampires, but I understand why.

GAAAAH !!! That vampire didn't see her till VILJA had to run by him like a complete NINNY !!!

Did Aravi search the vampire in the mini-skirt and you edited it? GAAAH! I was dying to know what she had on her, lol.

One of the swords Aravi just picked up from a vampire is showing stolen, that is odd.

I like the sayings on the Journal Entries, whoever wrote them is really funny !!

Hey, your Weye looks a lot more ... populated house-wise than mine! And Nerussa looks Awesome too! Is that another mod? Awesome Vid !!!!

I love that Weary Dagger. OK, that was funny when Vilja jumped onto the vampire then ran past in sneak mode. I’m glad he didn’t hurt Aravi too much after Vilja spoiled the surprise attack. Bow of Scorching, nice! The vampires should hate that.

OMG, what is she wearing?! Vampire bloomers? I’m with mALX, the Journal Entry made me smile. Whew, the tunnel out was a welcome sight.

Oh no, a lightning storm! So much for a relaxing post-mission walk home. Whoa, a strike right behind the Wawnet Inn! That was close. Hel-lo Nerussa. She’s had a makeover.

Poor Aravi looked like she was at her limit. She just threw her gear on the floor and climbed into bed in nothing but her fur. I guess the lightning storm was the last straw! Maybe she’ll get to go to the beach soon.

I really enjoyed the sewer saga. This was a great set of videos!

Am I the only one who think that first vampire's face looks like a chimp?

SPEW !!! ROFL !!! The vampires in this mod are the ugliest I've ever seen, they make Vicente look almost human. What they did to Janus Hassildor is downright freaky :

Aaaaaaaaaah! So much for sparkly hot vampires.

@mALX: I kind of suspected Vilja was going to do something like that. You have to talk to her to make her stay in place, and to do that, you have to stand up. So the options were get seen, or get seen.

Yes I edited it, she didn’t have anything interesting, but I’m sorry anyways. I keep forgetting you want to see the loot.

The journal entries are pretty funny, but they are kind of out of character for Aravi. Just pretend she didn’t write that.

More populated? Oh that’s a lodge that’s added by a hunting mod. There’s a woodelf merchant in there that has a lot of barter gold.

I can’t remember what mods I have running that would affect Nerussa. Maybe Cosmetic Compilation? That is very old on my load list though.

Thanks mALX!

@Grits: That dagger was random loot added by Fran’s. Very nice one isn’t it? Aravi doesn’t get to use it much so I’m glad she put it to use in there.

Too bad Aravi didn’t use that bow. Whatever that vampire was wearing, it wasn’t lootable. Lol.
That lightning ruined Aravi’s plan of taking a bath right away. The rain got some of the nastiness off though.

You are right, she was totally exhausted. It would have been more appropriate if she had just fallen in bed, but that isn’t an available animation.

Sewer Saga. It wasn’t at all what I expected when we started it, that is for sure.

Thanks Grits!

@SubRosa: Hey I didn’t expect you to drop by! Now that you mention it, I went back and looked and yeah he does. The vampires have always been real lookers in Oblivion haven’t they?

Thanks SubRosa!

Aravi suffers another nightmare after her recent encounter with the vampires in the Imperial City Sewers.**
TIME: 2:57

**Due to a glitch, this video turned out a lot more… weird than I expected.

Eager to leave the Wawnet Inn…
TIME: 5:19

That was some nightmare! Especially that part where it went black and white, and Aravi's headless corpse attacked her!

What a nightmare!! It just kept getting worse and worse! The ending was very disturbing. Yikes.

Huge relief to hear Vilja’s casual chatter when Aravi woke up. Ugh, Aravi was so ready to leave, but the storm! Aravi’s job is too stressful! You conveyed so much in this video, all in the Wawnet Inn. Amazing.

URK!!! GAAAAAH !!!! That was ... freaky as H !!!! Glad my stomach was empty!

**

Cure disease, lol. How appropos !!!

I kept seeing flashes of the nightmare - freaked me out !!

Uh, did it seem like Nerussa was making faces at Aravi? Like Aravi either needed a bath or had the beginnings of vampire disease?

Vilja was so sweet, that was nice.

Aravi's tense pacing in the dining room was very telling, this last nightmare has really upset her!


WHEW !!! Awesome Vids !!! ... Scary !!

I'm just posting some screens again.

I just liked her expression in these two:
Screen1
Screen2

Aravi and Vilja have a minor disagreement.

That first one is excellent!

The last one of the argument makes me want to add the caption "Who Farted?"

Thanks for giving us Aravi’s stats and such.

Aravi’s getting very good at smiting foes with her poisoned swords. Glad she got that vampire killed. Nice to see Nerussa! You did a nice camera job gently showing Aravi sleeping in her wood elven nightclothes. I was hoping she would have a good night’s sleep (silly me).

Wow! That nightmare was very effective – everything that terrifies all wrapped together! I was in awe of your creativity and can only imagine how you did all those effects!

Like Grits, I was so relieved to have some normal chatter between Aravi and Vilja. How nice that Vilja made a cure disease ‘pote-tshun’ and for Aravi to give her a strawberry. I can certainly see why the poor kitty wanted to leave the inn.

I love seeing the clocks you have in Aravi’s game!

Oh, and the screens in your latest post are fabulous! Aravi is so pretty!

I love the screens! My favorite is the first/top one - what an expressive face Aravi has !!!

I love them! Aravi is so pretty. And she has quite a glare!

@SubRosa: Thanks! That headless corpse was the big glitch I was talking about. I have no idea why that happened but I’m glad I still had the recorder going. I was getting ready to reload my save up in the bedroom.

Vilja looks like the perpetrator. She’s pretending to not see Aravi glaring.
Thanks SubRosa!

@Grits: I hadn’t planned for the headless Aravi to come in, but when she did I had to use it! I guess that was my Halloween episode.
Yeah Vilja’s voice was welcome, because with the storm it seemed like she had woken up in the nightmare still.

She can glare but not as well as Lildereth!

Thanks Grits!

@mALX: I’m glad I warned you about the nightmare!
Vilja’s potion was Very useful. Aravi was delighted that Vilja made something useful!
Aravi kept remembering her nightmare in there, and she really wanted to leave because of that. The storm outside kept her inside though.
Nerussa doesn’t seem to care for guests that just crawled out of the sewer lol.

I wish I had got a closer screen of the expression she had in the second one. She changed it really fast though.

Thanks mALX!

@Acadian: Welcome back!
Towards the end of the sewer adventure, Aravi started applying poisons to each of her swords and then switching so she can apply multiple poisons to an opponent. That was to make up for her mistrust of herself with a bow.
Heh, she normally wears something to bed, but that night she was just too tired to both changing into something. It was much easier to just dump everything on the floor and go right to bed.
Thanks on the nightmare. I don’t even know how some of those effects happened.
It’s times like that when having Vilja around makes all the frustration Aravi has with her worth it.

Thanks Acadian and thanks on the screenshots!
################################
Aravi leaves the Imperial City behind and heads west to Chorrol with Vilja.

TIME: 7:12

That was a beautiful walk. The sun shining through the trees was so pretty, and walking into Chorrol at sunset with the lights in the windows and the mountains still visible behind just can’t be improved upon.

But the best part was Vilja and Aravi’s conversations. It’s so fun when Aravi answers her! I had to laugh at Vilja’s cat comment. I think she was just teasing after she told Aravi she was cute.

A very enjoyable walk in the sun, and perfect timing for Aravi’s state of mind. I noticed that she didn’t hesitate to use her bow on that spider! That one was quite realistic.

OOOh, Aravi answered her "Yep !!!!" I love that !!!

Vilja's line was hilarious !! I finally got to hear Vilja say it in action !!! Love that line !!!!

Oh, I'm glad Aravi used her Bow!!

Beautiful sky in this vid !!

GAAAAH !! Aravi said "Yeah, Ok ... Whatever..." I love it !!!!

Oh, and the "Oak and Crossier" - a meeting with Miss Buffy perhaps?

Great lines of dialogue in this Awesome vid !!!

Vilja’s absolutely right that Aravi’s rather cute! Argh! Then that crack about being allergic to cats!

What a beautiful journey. I really agree with Grits and mALX here. The scenery was beautiful and it was such fun when Aravi actually responded to Vilja’s comments. This was just the nice break that Aravi needed. And it was so good to see her use her bow!

And they finally made it to the Oak & Crossier! Buffy’s been waiting there for them with a bottle of you-know-what for just the longest time! Screenshot

@Grits: Chorrol’s my favorite city in the game. I love the look of it and the surrounding countryside.

I’ve neglected my little voice mod so I made sure I worked in a few lines on the road. That cat comment has come up twice before, but this was the first time Vilja actually said it while I was recording! My favorite line by far. I always laugh when she says that. Aravi took the cute comment as a compliment. She turned to give Vilja a smile, not to glare or roll her eyes (as she usually does).

Thanks Grits!

@mALX: That little “yep” always sounds so cheerful. I love Vilja’s cat comment too! So funny!
With the bow, she didn’t want to get any closer to that spider than she had to. She wishes Vilja wouldn’t charge it because it’s a spider! Don’t touch it!

Thanks mALX!

@Acadian: Aravi’s a cute Khajiit. Vilja’s cat allergy comment earned her a glare, but Aravi’s heart wasn’t in it.

The sewer left Aravi physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. Her little trip to Chorrol does her a lot of good.

Oh, sorry it took Aravi so long to get there!I bet that bottle of you-know-what is almost empty by now. That’s fine Aravi doesn’t drink much.

Thanks Acadian!
