If I'm remembering my trip correctly, there's a neat quest that starts in the cave with the biggest one.

Sweet!

The day is sunny here in Anvil. As a schooner ship pulls up to the docks, a lone traveller gets off, stretches her legs, and stands in the sun a moment.

The sun feels good, here in Anvil.

As the lone traveller walks upon Anvil's docks, all Oblivion breaks loose! A sudden flurry of citizens are fighting. One (a magic-user in blue robes) summons a scamp. Before she knows it, a couple of these brawlers are dead, as everybody on the dock lends a helping hand at ending the fight.

The lone traveller walks up to one of these fallen fighters: an elf lady in a fine red dress. Carefuly, the lone traveller searches this fallen lady while nobody seems to be looking. She finds a silver daggar and 10 gold, and takes all of this. She will need everything she can get in preparation. Some of her things were stolen before she started the boat ride on the schooner several day ago.

"Welcome back to Cyrodiil", this lone traveller says to herself.

Renee, did you break down and get a PC and some mods (like alternate start)? Or are you still using imagination-fired non-PC mods like, in this case, taping a small picture of a ship to the lower portion of your TV screen?

ha ha nope, did not get a PC. If I had, you can bet I'd be bugging you guys with endless questions for weeks! I'd also be dancing all over the forums blabbing about this.

But yeah, I did do an alternate start. He heh heh...you shall find out why after I post some screenies.

"Welcome to the Flowing Bowl. I'm Maenlorn. My twin's name is Caenlorn. How to tell us apart? I'm in brown. He's in blue. Simple, really."

"Yes I have knowledge of whom you are, we have already met. Long ago. You may not have memories of who I am."

"The Count went missing about fifteen years ago. No one knows what happened to him. Lady Millona rules County Anvi." Maenlorn says this, assuming the Lady before him is interested. "Her ladyship has no intention of remarrying. Liked her first Count well-enough, I guess, and doesn't fancy a replacement."

"Oh! How dreadful!" says the lone traveller. "Perhaps I can someday present my assistance, but for now...I need to present myself with a bed. And have you such for renting?"

Maenlorn does not offer a room for her to sleep, unfortunately. The place is all booked up.

"Okay," greets the other twin. "Guess who I am? Caenlorn or Maenlorn?"

"You ... are Caenlorn. The twin in blue."

"Right. You remembered! The one in blue!"

"Blue and brown. Caenlorn and Maenlorn. 'Tis happenings of folly, that you two should take such simple choices, and not ever make deviance or eschewation."

Hungry and bedless, but also happy and entertained. This is how the lone traveller spends her first night back in Cyrodiil.

Now that's a fine idea, Acadian! I'll use the illustration on the DVD box set that I already use for "compass delete" as part of the story!

Yesterday Kjestrid discovered the UOP. It fixed the fire in her Bruma house, yay! But it also “fixed” her awesome fire ritual greaves, rendering them not at all awesome. Boo. But it was nice to fish those torches out of the fire.

What's the UOP?

Unofficial Oblivion Patch. Kjestrid is on my laptop.

Till next winter I´m gonna give Lothran some proper fire too. I already took away the torches he´s been using for the last five years or so, so it´s all set. If I could just make meself download that mod...

Taking the torches out first would have been a much better way to do it!

Unofficial Oblivion Patch. You can tell I'm still a non-PC girl.




Wilbur : "I'm Wilbur, owner and proprietor of the Count's Arms. We make beds and food available to guests. Can I help you?"

Lone Traveler: "Hello. I have recently made journeys here from faraway. Traveled here by boat..."

Wilbur: "Buildings here look different ... Why? ... This is the Gold Coast style, like in Hammerfell. Eastern towns look grey and dull to me."

The Lone Traveller bites her tongue. She thinks to herself that she's a changed woman now. Her old self might have made some snarky comment in reply to the Redguard proprietor, with his inflated opinions. But she has changed.

She bites her tongue.

Lone Traveler: "Well yes. I did try the Flowing Bowl, but the place is all ... booked up. Maenlorn and Caenlorn did not even make offerings towards assisting me with a place to rest."

She bites her tongue again. Maenlorn and Caenlorn. Wood Elves. In the past, she had many issues with these, the ones who had been living here in Cyrodiil, anyways. But she has changed. After many years amongst her friends and family, elders and youngsters, she has changed for the better. She hopes this is so, anyways. The elders had given her lots of wise advice, and the youngsters reminded her that life is not to be taken quite so seriously.

Wilbur: There's a wonderful room available. It's the BEST I have, and you can use it for the night for a mere ... 25 gold. Interested?"

"I accept your terms and pricing, Sir Wilbur."

"Excellent! It's up the stairs there, and then directly across the hallway. Center room, wonderful view of the city. Sleep well!"

The Lone Traveler does sleep well, indeed.

"Cyrodiilic slumber. That was how I refered to such resting five years ago," she says, just before passing out.

Hmm... My first guess: has Lady Saga returned to Cyrodiil?



ETA: OK, I went back and looked at her pictures again. (Missed the dates the first time.) Yay!

Yes Yes YES YES!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

You are the first one to figure this out, Grits. You get a Saga Stick.

Whee!

You did a great job with her!

thanks for your compliments. Yeah, I just kinda felt an inspiration to be with Saga again, and I thought "what if I created her on Xbox?"

That was my whole issue with her, well one of them. She was a PS3 character and it did not make sense that she's an explorer, but all the new DLC to explore is on Xbox. So the other day I decided if I could re-create her. It took two tries. I spent over an hour on the first try, but when I got her to Anvil I realized she looked too masculine. So I tried a second time, and I can definitely say she looks like the same goldenrod elf as the one on PS3.

The original Saga also had Conjuration as a Major, but I did not expect she would actually need this spell to survive, but turns out she did. The game levels upwards super-fast with Conjuration as a major, so this time, I think I got her skills more balanced.

The original Saga also got kicked out of the Mage's Guild, but the new one is going to give this another shot. She (and I ) really want to get to the Arcane University. I think if the original one had made it that far, she would have had a more successful 'career' as an adventurer.

I'm going to only post here from now on with my new charcter.

Beth admins have annoyed me(not allowing NPC Convo threads all of a sudden,not allowing What are you listening to threads,etc)

Name:Jack Dennius



Age:18



Height:5''11



Weight:180lbs



Bio:Jack was apart of a rich noble family back in Skyrim,and well,he wasn't the nicest of kids,he was basically a rich snobish bully,yet he still had many friends,because of his money,but all of his other friends were also rich snobs.His mother and father couldn't be any more diffrent,they were kind,loving,generous souls,Jack took them for granted,he didn't know how good he had it until that faithful Sundas in Sun's Dawn,the farm just outside of Whiterun,the farm where jack lived was raided and destroyed.But that wasn't all Jack's parents were killed and Jack was almost kidnapped but he ran away,the invaders were there to kidnap Jack,kill no one and put him up for ransom,but thanks to a bumbling bandit who knocked over a candle setting the place on fire,an angry bandit who attempted to kill the bumbling bandit accidently shot Jack's mother and had to kill his father who ran at him.Now this isn't a revenge story,this isn't a story of a knight or wizard,this is the story a young man with a small amount of skill when it comes to blades,no skill in armour or magic or anything else really,trying to make it in an unfamiler world with little to no money.

Jack knows he'll never find the bandits who killed his parents,Jack knows they've died in vain,Jack knows he shouldn't of acted in the ways he did,Jack wants to change,well a little atleast.



Jack wants another thing to,his fourtune,he wants to be a noble,he couldn't stay in Skyrim,so he sneaked onto a boat to Cyrodiil,he has the mentallilty of fiddy,coz Jack is going to get rich or die trying.

Hopefully the former.

Yes I made a 50 Cent refrence in an Oblivion charcter bio.

Back to Breeva's journey, I have found her doing more of the same; which are odd jobs for the chapels.

She has just finished delivering food for the poor in Skingrad, so now she is making her way back to the chapel in Bravil; her home. It is then she will be given her next mission.
