Well, Erich Krannt is still going...He's currently level 26 or 27...Plus, I've finally realised how difficult it is being a pure mage...My God I keep getting killed...

His Illusion is 83, his Alteration is 72 but his Destruction is only 30...He prefers getting his Frosty-boy to do his smacking...God I love the atronachs...Nothing to do with Grits at all...Nope... ...

It's taking ages for the Conjouration to go up though...Weird...

Aaaamywho...It's bloody hard work sticking to the magic...I've had to fall back on the sword/shield a lot as the baddies are levelling up...*Sigh*...Getting there though...

Currently, he's a bounty hunter and using the proceeds to buy either stuff for his house outside Falkreath or buying the next level spells and robes...

QFT. Terenna's like that; mages make great glass cannons, and while they're great for dishing out hurt they can't soak it up at all. You need a companion with you to take damage on your behalf, definitely, a heavy-armoured tank like Kharjo or Uthgerd the Unbroken.

Kayla's Conjuration is 49. She keeps summoning the Flaming Familiar. Cool spell when your target is out in the open lol

Darnand is of course a pure mage, and he would not go ten feet without an atronach AND a follower. Kharjo was awesome and very forgiving of the occasional spell mis-fire. (Firebolt instead of Heal Other. Oops.)

Really? What difficulty are you playing on? Maybe it's because Mycharonna's game is Apprentice that I'm always able to avert death. I just bumped LHM's game to Adept, though. Apprentice was getting way too easy for him!

My strategy with my witch (and most of my magic-users) is to have a certain spell ready at all times (usually a summon). When an enemy shows up, the trick is to get as far away from the action as possible, and then just hit 'em with a variety of Destruction and/or Illusion spells. I like to try to get above the enemy if possible. Mycharonna also likes to summon, hide somewhere (in sneak mode) until the enemy hopefully thinks she's gone.



I agree.

I summoned it in a fort once, just to see what would happen.

Never again XD

The problem I have is that, playing Terenna, I only use fire-based spells, and my magicka isn't yet high enough to conjure a Flame Atronach, so my options are rather limited. Otherwise I'd be stocking up on wards and Oakflesh and so forth and I'd be fine. And I refuse to play on Apprentice. That would mean I'd lose Man Points, and that would be unacceptable!

Also, what's the Flaming Familiar do, and where can I get that spell? That sounds like another summon Terenna could use, definitely.

The flaming familiar, which I got totally by accident, is instead of just a regular familiar, its on fire and explodes after like five seconds lol

I...

I need to get that...

Oooooh! Lord Haaf-Mersey found the tome that teaches this spell! I forget where he found it; it was in some lair I believe. Since he doesn't use conjuration he did not pick it up. Kinda sucks because if Mycharonna had found it, she would have learned that spell. In 2 seconds.

Ah yes, the fff...laming familiar that explodes in the corridor next to your follower. Rowan thinks of it by another "F" name.

I imagine any sane character probably wouldn't like that. It would be perfect for Terenna, though; "Mr Cuddles wants to play with you! Go say hello, Mr Cuddles!"

*Boom! Much screaming occurs*

"Isn't he the best dog?"

Mr. Cuddles would be perfect for Darnand, since he’s given Jerric (Argis) some ice staves so he doesn’t tend to rush in and close with their enemies right away. But indoors would still be a mistake.

What fun for a mage on her own, though. Deploy Mr. Cuddles, set fire rune, sit back and watch the fun.

Mr. Cuddles is a quest reward. Here:

And with that, Terenna is skipping off to go find herself a new pet.

That spell is great. Just like a guided fireball.

Sounds useful, certainly. Does make me think that a guided fireball spell could be useful, if I could ever work out how to mod one in.

Well we are now in The Northern Province.
Expect fireworks.

Trey the Nord had decided it was time to live in the province of his birth. He knew nothing about it- a few stories from his parents- a place on an old map.

He crossed he mountains and next he knew, he was on the ground, with an Imperial sword at his throat and an Imperial knee in his back. Welcome home, son.

All he had wanted was to find a little farm or town, buy a house, and settle down.

(No. Not going to think about Helgen.)

After. After he wasn't about to be murdered- oh right- when the EMPIRE does it, it is "execution."

A couple of people looked at his ragged self and decided it would be great fun to send him to Bleak Falls Barrow.

Nords. Undead Nords. ANGRY Undead Nords. Stendarr! But- there was also gold. Not enough to buy a house- but a start.

So now- Trey is taking on bounties and developing a desire to kill every draugr in Skyrim. He WILL own that house in Whiterun. If he lives long enough to buy it....

Hope Trey the Nord makes it safely, then!
