Yay! Such nice pixies from Buffy´s adventures!


Very nice ones all of them, Acadian. And such joy to see her in The Mountains™

Wow! She has her own pocket Bosmer! Where can I get one of those?

...some of them are impossible to train...

Can´t wait for the April shot in Acadian´s siggy..!

Hee! What a funny picture of the tiger licking its paw. Looks like a job well done.

They must first see the little elf before they can make any estimations. I doubt they did.

Looks like she might have made a decision in that one. What a pretty location.

I love the sunset one. I had one of Aravi that is very similar to that one. I think it’s gone though.

Yeah, but...

Look at the cuteness!

Bandit-Table-Paw made me grin. With an exterior door at the top of that tunnel I can imagine the scene leading up to this picture!

Mining for mithril, Buffy-style! That’s an impressive pile of tall folk!

Bathtub! Nords and wood elves.

Decisions decisions, and possibly the loveliest spot is right there in the picture. Could that little brook lead to a waterfall? It’s impossible to keep up with Buffy’s travels but so delightful to catch a glimpse as she and Superian go by.

I’m also guessing Beldaburo is the location of that beautiful sunset. A conjuror lair with a beach must be a pleasant stop for Buffy. The last time Darnand was there he did exactly the same thing at sunset, though in a considerably longer skirt.

The camp at Azura’s shrine is my favorite. What a cozy scene and a reminder of one of the grim tasks Buffy has accepted along with the light that followed.

SubRosa- Yes, that sunset over the Abecean was taken from the exit of Beldaburo. Not the first time she’s stepped out of a dungeon into such a Kodak moment. Thank you!

ghastley- Mugshot! As obvious as that groaner is, it never occurred to me. Thanks!

mirocu- Thank you. Buffy considers the Jeralls to be Lothran’s Mountains. April Showers is up as our screenshot of the month. Hmm, perhaps May Flowers would be a good sequel?

CT- Pocket Bosmer! Aww, thanks for your kind words!

Phon- Impossible to train? You can always tell a Bosmer; you just can’t tell them much. Thanks for stopping in!

KC- Thank you! I know that you and Buffy both enjoy her big cats. Oh, I remember some of the magnificent Aravi shots from the Abecean Coast during her latter days in Cyrodiil. While I miss Aravi in Cyridiil, I’m so glad she has found her place in Skyrim. I have so enjoyed learning about the northern province through her eyes and your skilled camera.

Grits- Thanks, as ever, for your warm and insightful comments! Waaay back when Buffy did Azura’s quest, she placed Ghola gro-Muzgol’s faded note on the podium by Azura’s shrine. She reads it every time she visits the Queen of Dawn. Then she looks up at those five bright candles. And remembers. A magical place.


A wonderful friend to Buffy (Ayumifan), after several years absence, has resurfaced over at the BethSoft forums. Having drawn pictures of Buffy in the past, she has once again honored my elf with this quick sketch.

With her bow almost ‘welded’ to her left hand, Buffy is most decidedly a right-handed caster. The one exception is a powerful shield spell that Boderi Farano relentlessly drilled into Buffy if cornered. The spell infuses a powerful ward from Buffy's left hand into her bow so the fragile weapon can be used effectively for blocking without sustaining damage. Like this. With such additional protection, Buffy can generally manage a right handed spell to immobilize her foe, then bring either an absorb health spell or arrow to bear. She’s asked me not to mention that such encounters generally result in peeing her greaves as well.

Hey, bully boy, you head-butted the wrong cat.

Thank you, my friend. Let me tend to your wounds.

Elf, are you sure you know where we’re going?

As dawn quietly approaches the sky over Mania, Superian is likely thinking, ’Should I nudge her awake, or let sleeping elves lie?’

Buffy in the rain!

I remember that shot from way back. It´s gloomy but sets the mood perfectly for an evening by a warm fire

The state of his horns suggests he's made bad decisions before.

I love Ayumifan's sketch of our bosmer bowgirl!

That looks like an angry dog in second pic. It is a good thing Buffy has her juiced up bowshield to ward it off!

Kitty vs. One-Horn! My money is on the cat.

I love the cat and bosmer pics. They look so comfortable together.

I think its best to leave sleeping bosmer to lie. She deserves a break after all she has been doing!

Loved the p.o.'d black panther in the "Head-Butting" shot! Yup, wrong cat indeed. Whoever created these animations sure know their animals - first the horses canter correctly, second wolves growl and stalk quite convincingly, then sit and [censored] their heads at you out of curiosity; and the cats will twitch their tails when deciding whether to let laziness or hunger rule. Love the attack mode of the cat, I see it all the time in the cat mods I have loaded into Julian's current game.

Fantastic screenies, but that one just is my favorite.

Buffy's arrow.- Seriously, this is an awesome shot! Buffy kneeling down the bandit prey with her fierce feline by her side is great. The glowing eyes and the time of day adds to the scenery.

Some ancient Ayleid weaponry.- I like that weaponry(the bow). As ancient as they were, no one can argue about the effectiveness of their tools. Then again, Daedric worshipers were always a force to be reckoned with. When coupled with a skilled wielder like Buffy, who knows what mayhem can follow.

Restoring everyone’s attributes after a fight.- Getting cleaned up to fight another day, eh? Or maybe the same day. That panther looks hungry still.

Enjoying a warm rain.- I'm assuming she already killed the necrodudes camped out behind her? Of course she did. She has to take out the trash. And get some shower!

Taking out the trash.- Wow. I randomely mentioned taking out the trash and here she is, standing over a dead necrodude! Awesome!

Line ‘em up!- Great shot. The arrow looks deadly, too. So sharp! Loose away, Buff.

Buffy astride Phantom- That's a kickass dragon!


I’m sure that cuffing that bandit into the table hurt him a lot more than it did your paw. Hehe, looks like he's sniffing the table. Serves him right, damn it!

The perils of underestimating a small elf. Once again, Buffy is seen standing with nothing but her animal companions and a bunch of corpses. I like her!

No, Journeyman, you may not use my mug for a bathtub.

Decisions, decisions. Psst, Corinth

Starbearer catching the evening’s first stars. Wow. That's beautiful.

Henceforth, above my shrine, five bright candles shall burn forever. By Azura! by Azura!!

That sketch of Buffy is pretty neat!

Hey, bully boy, you head-butted the wrong cat. Scratch that beef! Scratch it!

Thank you, my friend. Let me tend to your wounds. Glad to see the cat is okay

Elf, are you sure you know where we’re going? This had me smiling! Buffy does look lost.

As dawn quietly approaches the sky over Mania, Superian is likely thinking, ’Should I nudge her awake, or let sleeping elves lie?’ Oblivion! How I love other realms! Amazing shot.

What a wonderful sketch from Ayumifan!

Great survival tip from Buffy’s guide to mystic archery. She has a plan for everything, and especially for when things don’t go according to plan!

I love the scale in the two pictures. First the minotaur towers over Buffy’s panther, then the panther is huge next to the petite bowgirl! That’s a lovely shot of healing her friend.

Elf Are You Sure made me snort my tea. That’s one of my favorite favorites!

Sleeping Elf is so pretty. I love the little glimpses into Buffy’s camp life, which in a way is like looking at someone’s living room since she’s on the move so much.

April Showers, how fitting! If that’s where I think it is (between Chorrol and Battlehorn Castle) no wonder she’s bundled up in the rain.

I enjoyed these very much!

mirocu- Thank you! Buffy generally summons her bound spriggan outfit if the rain is warm, but for cooler rains, she does cover up to keep warm.

ghastley- Heh, I think it’s a great touch how they made the regular minotaurs with a broken horn. Thanks!

SubRosa- Thank you! Buffy gets little opportunity to use her light armor and block skills, but when she needs them they really help. So, she sometimes spars with bandit dogs since they don’t bite that hard and she can calm them down when the training session’s over without killing them. Thank you for your kind observation about Buffy and her big cats. They compensate in many ways for what she is not: they don’t get flustered if a fight gets close up, they’re skilled at melee and they’re big.

Rider- Thank you! I find ‘action shots’ quite the challenge, but sometimes they come out well. Like you, I enjoy so much about the big cats. Powerful enough to protect a horse and rider, but stealthy enough to shadow an elf in a dungeon. Of course, Buffy has a whole suite of spells to buff and protect her cats in return for their help.

DE- Thank you for your wonderful comments. I see we both enjoy visiting realms beyond Cyrodiil like the SI and other provinces. They're great fun to visit and explore.

Grits- Aww, thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed Buffy and the big cat consulting in that dungeon. You nailed the location of 'April Showers' - on the road between Chorrol and Battlehorn Castle.



As some of you know, Buffy’s currently exploring Valenwood as provided in the mod Valenwood Improved. All the below screens are from northern V-wood.

The beauty of the Strid River Valley -

Sunset near the head of the river.

The valley floor.

A small river port.

Village tucked into a small tributary of the Strid.

Tales of two cities -

Arenthia in front of Skingrad.

Falenesti in front of Kvatch.

Woah...

Those shots are amazing.

And I have to ask; what is Buffy wearing in "The Valley Floor"?

Because it looks like very little

Amazing pictures, Acadian! Buffy is so beautiful and I´m so jealous that you have Kvatch rebuilt!! Would like to have that too..

Anyway,

With that number of waterfalls, I'm surprised to see her wearing anything.

Wow...Them's amazing pictures!!...

I absolutely love the river port one, and the village tucked away one...Soooo pretty... ...

How did you achieve the Tales of Two Cities ones?...



Yeah, that's one disappointment of the standard game is that Kvatch never gets rebuilt...Hey-ho...

Perhaps they need some Knights to do the job then... ...

Awesome pics Acadian...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

I love the Strid river pics. The warm color of the fading light in the first one is just lovely. While the Valley Floor pic has a nice waterfall and very inviting waves. The smaller port gives us yet another waterfall, and the final pic is a very pleasant looking village.

Arenthia looks very spiky from above! I wonder if that is to dissuade dragons from landing on the roofs?

Kvatch looks so much nicer all refurbished, rather than the burned out city we are stuck with in the vanilla game.
