I already commented on Kahreem but it's nice to read about your new Argonian character, Renee! I especially liked this part:





I'm looking forward to Abwasserkanal Eidechsse's underground adventures!

Lothran is currently lost somewhere in the Basin. I think I saw him behind a tree but then he was gone again
I think the followers of Vaermina saw him before.. Maybe I´ll ask them?

Lost?!? Did you install a Renee mod to the front of your monitor so poor Lothie can't see his compass?

Renee´s mod isn´t necessary for that! All it takes is forgetting to look at it because of the beautiful scenery

And the mysterious orchestra that always plays, but cannot be found.

Lothran is out of the woods!! But that mysterious cottage was nowhere to be found. Seems like my Dunmer was misinformed.. So he headed westwards, towards Bravil. Night fell as he arrived via boat from Fort Grief and he will now rest and get that newly enchanted weapon of his recharged in the morning

That's your theme music. Every good hero should have some.

Lol, SubRosa.

Kahreem of Weet is in Bravil. He's been given a job down in Leyawiin to find a stolen ring, but is currently planning on sneaking into Bravil's castle instead. I already have a story written up on what happens, and I'll post it this weekend perhaps.

Abwasserkanal Eidesche (sewer lizard) is in the Imperial City's sewers. He is a rather primitive DnD styled lizardman, an is being chased by Imperial guards because he stole a bunch of stuff from Gilded Carafe.

Lady Saga is still in Valenwood.

Tell him to go visit Lothran! He´s there just now!


You damn well better

Sweet! Actually this gives me an idea. ..

Niamh is deep in the depths of a Brasher Special, taking out Conjurers and all sort of exotic nasties.

And she's loving it.

Oh, luvs huntin' conjuredudes! When you silence 'em, they don't carry scrolls to hit you with like necrodudes do. If they do get off a spell to summon somethin', it's great fun to silence the caster and command their summon! And since the conjuredude is silenced, they can't dispel their own summon. Great fun!

Lothran disposed of some conjuredudes too tonight, in Fort Black Boot. But his days of sneaking around in dark, dank dungeons is actually long gone. Nowadays he prefers the fresh air above ground

Skingrad is his new location where he sold off some collected loot. And now, Anvil awaits...

I wrote this last weekend, which is really cool 'cause it means I don't have to write anything now. Kahreem is supposed to go to Leyawiin but has decided to see what sort of goodies Bravil has to offer first.

Frost Fall 22

5:42 am
Guards stand side by side literally 20 feet (about 5 meters) away, and this makes Kahreem of Weet nervous. He is now on a second floor balcony inside of Bravil's castle, trying to decide whether or not to sneak inside of the castle's 'Private Quarters'. After a minute or two of consideration, he decides to do it, despite the fact that the guards might literally see him.

He hunches down, prepares his lockpicks, and somehow manages to sneak quickly inside Castle Bravil's Private Quarters. The guards do not notice him. .... It helps that this 'private' area is locked with just a cheap 1-tumbler device.

"A piece of garbage like that protects Bravil's elite? Go figure."

As the Weeet Bandit sneaks in*, he finds himself at the end of a long hallway. He thinks he hears footsteps echoing far off in the distance, so he moves quickly forwards, and ducks into a short hall to the right. There is a door here, which is unlocked.

"'ello", he says, imiatating a servant's voice. "Anybody 'ome? Just doin' my rounds, cleanin' and scrubbin'!"

Nobody is inside, lucky for him. He finds an unlocked chest, and quickly trades the sack-cloth pants issued to him in jail for a nice blue & green blouse + trousers combination. Hopefully these nicer clothes will help him blend in, now that he officially trespassing. ... It can't be too often that shirtless Redguards go sneaking through Bravil's castle, after all, right?

6:18 am

crraawwwwk!

The sound of a nearby door opening causes him to freeze. He stands motionless for a few moments. It is rather cool inside this castle, and this coolness is the only thing that is keeping him from sweating heavily, but a thin film starts to perspire upon his forehead.

The sound of footsteps come closer and closer to the small room he is in....

clip...clip ...clip ...clop .. clip ....clip ... CLOP CLOP...clip clop clip...

...and then whoever it is walks quickly away. The sound of a door opening and closing can be heard out in the hallway. Kahreem hopes that whoever that was, he or she has now left the hallway itself. He creeps forward, and leaves the room he's been hiding in, after making sure there's nothing else worthy of stealing.

*



7:32 am

"For the love of Azura! ...Can't a man have a bit of privacy? GET OUT OF HERE!"

Kahreem stalks out of the room he's been hiding in, and immediately gets accosted by a dark elf! ...The moment happens so quickly, and the Weet Bandit is surprised to have been discovered so soon.

"Uhh...I uh...I'm Marc. Marc Mywards, from Bruma," Kahreem lies.

"Drels Thera," greets the dark elf, suddenly calm. "I'm the count's Special Inquisitor in charge of suppressing the Renrija Krin insurgents."

"Renrija what?" Kahreem asks casually. He's hoping this distraction in conversation will keep this 'Drels' from throwing him out.

"The Renrija Krin are Khajiit bandits and smugglers posing as guerillas and freedom fighters", Drels informs the Redguard trespasser.

"I see", Kahreem says, not 'seeing' at all. He has no idea what the dark elf is talking about. "Well look ... I was supposed to uh ... deliver a package...'Cause I'm a courier, see? And I have news from the Imperial City and the Elder Council itself, which has recently decided to subvert the little skooma problem you've got here in Bravil".

"Make it quick", says Drels.

Kahreem realizes he's made a great decision, wearing these nicer (but stolen) clothes. As long as he can 'blend in' like this, perhaps he can make his way farther and farther into the castle itself.

"There's lots of skooma here in town. And a well-known skooma den located in the center of it all. The Elder Council has sent me as a sort of spy."

"You win this one!" Drels is thrilled at the news! He realizes the Redguard is right. There is a skooma problem here in Bravil. He is glad somebody has been sent to address the situation.

"I'll sneak in their den, and report what I see!" Kahreem promises. "And you'll be the first to know of my progress".

"Gracious! What a hero!"

"But to perform this task, I'll need to ...uh...have a look inside the count's chambers, first. The count should already know about this, so there should be no problem if you'll just hand me the key. Chances are I might find something useful to aid me in my search a-hah-hah-hah!"

"That's just not funny," answers Drels, now seeming to smell a rat.

"But the count...he's got something for me. Um..." Kahreem gets nervous, and realizes he's been caught. Caught in a lie. "A magical device. I'm supposed to use this magical device; it'll help me see in the dark! ... Oh....why am I even talking to you? This should all have been arranged already!" Kahreem says, throwing his arms up in frustration. "Can I speak to someone in charge, please?"

"What nonsense!" Drels now sees what's really going on. "Stop talking," he suggests!

This Redguard's no spy! He's not from the Elder Council! .... Drels may have been fooled for a moment, but this moment is now past.

"But...but...."

"I'm wawwning you!!! Get out or I'll cawwl the guards!"

With no other choice, Kahreem of Weet can only concede. He turns around, and leaves the castle's Private Quarters; his desired crime spree already called to a halt.

....or so he thinks...

7:24 am
Once back in the court, and still on the second floor, he glances over to where the morning guards stood beside a central door, and notices these guards are now gone. Once again, this door is guarded by a cheap 1-tumbler.

clink!

Kahreem is back in action! As he sneaks in, he finds himself at the end of another long hallway. A figure appears in the darkness, at the opposite end of this hallway, and this figure appears to be approaching (rather than walking away) which means he is actually facing the Weet Bandit, but too far away to see him.. Kahreem quickly sneaks forward and to the left, where a short hallway is located. He ducks into this hallway, and crouches in shadow.

clop clop clpop clop

The figure is a guard, and paces right by Kahreem's shadowy hiding spot! This guard then walks out the door Kahreem just came in. He is out of earshot, then.

"Phew, that was close".

Another guard immediately enters the hallway, walks by in the opposite direction, and makes no notice of Kahreem. Kahreem feels he is therefore in the clear. He turns to his left, and starts working on the 2-tumbler door before him. After breaking a couple more picks, he's inside! .... and is quickly greeted by another Dunmer male. And this Dunmer (unlike Drels) does not engage in small talk. Instead, he casts some sort of spell.

...ting!

"Uh...I ahhh...wrong building...."

Kahreem turns around, where yet another castle occupant comes up from behind. How many damn people live here? Kahreem quickly thinks. Never has he been so easily caught at his thievery. Kahreem hasn't even got a chance to see who it is before him swiiinnng!! before whoever it is casts a spell that makes him or her nearly invisible.

"ohhh no. Not an invisible man!"

At this sight, Kahreem is terrified! He hates invisible men. So he bolts back up the hallway, and back out into the court, while the invisible man (or woman) follows closely...

"By the gods, there's a psychopath on the loose!" she screams to the court.

"STOP!" says a guard, quickly stepping up to the situation. "You violated the law! Pay the court a fine or serrrve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit."

The court is suddenly crowded with lots of figures, leaving him with no options for escape. ..

"Uh...I'm from the Elder Council ... I was ahhhhh.... sent here to spy on skooma dens. Quite a little skooma problem you got here in Bravil

...All eyes look upon him, and he can see that NOBODY believes his story this time.

" ...Ah never mind. Let us go to jail, then."

"Hope you rawwwt. Criminal scum," says the guard.

First City Swimmer, and now THIS scum. Bravil has certainly been more interesting as of late, thinks this guard as he takes Kahreem into custody.



8:38 am
Back where it all started. Once again. Same crummy bed. Same bad room service. Kahreem notes that his fine this time was just 40 gold, which means he should be in and out of here in no time.

"But it's no fun, getting caught like that. Bravil seems to have its [censored] together, when it comes to apprehending a man like me," he says glumly. "Fokke!"

During his first stay in Bravil's jail a few days prior, he felt relaxed and even enjoyed his sentence. But today, he is anxious and bored. As morning drones on to afternoon, and a sad meal of tasteless corn and overdone ham is served, the Weet Bandit decides Bravil is just too tough of a town to take on. He looks forward to heading south, towards Leyawiin.

Poor Kahreem! His life as a thief sure isn´t too easy!

We are in the Mage's Guild in Leyawiin.
Niamh has decided to commit herself to getting her recommendation, which surprises me really because the only thing that prior to this she has ever really committed herself to is being generally fairly objectionable..

I put it down to the after-effects of her last trip into The Northern Province. This second time, when she was deposited back inside a Dwemer ruin to the east of Cyrodiil, far from where she was when she was taken, was much worse than previously. She was sick and disoriented for days afterwards and subsequently what happened to that guard; well, she actually felt bad about it really. It wasn't his fault, he had caught her at a bad time and she still doesn't know why she had that much bounty in the first place; I mean sure, she's killed a *few* people but as far as she knew - (or cared) - no one had really noticed...
...Still, these events have caused her to have a little think and if the guard's untimely death and subsequent dumping in the Niben have done anything, it's given her a pause for thought.

I believe we've turned a corner, sure she's still an evil little toerag with a penchant for sleeping around, drinking too much and committing casual acts of random assault, battery and burglary, but now she does it all with a smile on her face and more of a spring in her step, AND, she's decided to complete some of the things on her list; and it's a long list.
She may even get out more.

Who knows...?

Heh, it's the New and Improved Niamh. Enlightened. Graceful. Whoever woulda thunk it?



He's usually better than this, but for some reason in Bravil he just got caught twice in a row. I've had other characters in the past break into castles and make their way deep inside; matter of fact, Kahreem managed to make it to the Countess's chambers in Bruma that one time.

Eventually his Sneak skill will go through the roof, of course. Then he'll be able to sneak wherever the heck he wants, but these stories might not be as funny anymore.

LOL
Well I wouldn't go that far, but for her it's certainly a step forward!!

It´s a step anyway

Heh indeed.
Whether it's in the right direction or not remains to be seen!
