I love how we're all playing a 7-year old game.

Renee Gade III just left the Imperial City and met Renee Geonette. That blew my mind. I had no idea there's actually a "Renee G" NPC. Basically, Renee G III just passed Renee G.

2:37 PM, Last Seed 30, 4th Era 20

Renee Gade III
Level: 1
Days Passed: 4
Gold: 227

Entered Vilverin. In days before we circled the Imperial City. Found a fort full of really tough rats, and abandoned this. Several bandits and warlords occupied the road from Aleswell til now. After nearly being offed, I found a warlord wearing iron armor, and have taken this set for my own. Feel much more confident. And it is always helpful to find a guard along the road; guards get involved.

Slaughtered the outlaws and other such inhabitants of an Ayleid named Sercen one by one, and left there by noon. A hill giant (or some sort of ogre) occupied a fort up on a hill near the Roxey Inn, and we did not bother to even try. Now we are in Vilverin, the place where Gabrielle has informed me all my stolen items have been hidden by an evil mage named Kranix.

He shall die soon.

3:43 pm
As predicted.



After WE found Kranix 'Gabby' and I quickly took him down. He had a key in one of his pockets which opened a nearby chest. Finally. My things. .

!!!

I didn´t know there was a Renee in the game! Or I mean I must have forgotten all about her having not met her in a very great while. This is awesome, Renee! Ehm, Renee Gade IV, I mean

Renee, what a fun find, locating another Renee!

Buffy discovered something new to her today. The terrain around Boethia's shrine is very rugged. Happily, her mare can scale mountains like a goat. Anyway, not more than a couple hundred feet from that shrine, Buffy found a single tombstone with a wooden chest right in front of it, nestled between two boulders. She went up to the tombstone to see is she could activate it - nope. Just a little tucked away mystery. Thinking perhaps it was the resting place of one of Boethia's followers, she continued to the shrine and asked them. They didn't know anything about it either.

I've been in the habit of thinking the horses of Cyrodiil are like insects: they've got specialized feet which can help them scale impossibly steep areas!

Neat to find hidden stuff like that even if they don´t really do anything

Lothran is standing right out the gates to Skingrad again, by the vineyards to be exact. He´s gathered some more flax and other ingredients along the way to ensure alchemical activity next winter. He´s gotta prepare for it even if it´s very far away now

I love that Tamrielic horses are such good hill climbers. Of course, sitting way up high and being able to outrun stuff is very important to short elves as well.

The Skingrad vineyard area is such a nice area. And gosh, that whole area is simply loaded with flax plants.

Buffy left Cheydinhal headed more or less directly for the Imperial Bridge Inn. It's taken her a few of her days but, 11 dungeons later, she's approaching Fort Flecia. That'll be her last dungeon (I figure) before the inn.

Lady Saga plundered Moranda, and managed to find the Ayleid Statue hidden in there. Instead of running off to Umbacano, she's decided to return to Bruma. She's almost out of arrows, by golly. And she just liked being up there last time. ... And I'm trying a couple snow mods (Snowy Road to Bruma and Dynamic Snow Accumulation) but not at the same time, of course. I really wanna see it snow, just to see the difference inside of Bruma. DSA is the one that's supposed to affect Bruma's interior.

Now that I'm really wanting it to snow, it's blue skies with all sorts of sun, of course. *facepalm*

Julian has returned to the Imperial City only to be suckered into another quest. This time she found a forlorn Nord woman standing outside Weye Inn. When she asked the woman why so sad? she got an earful about how the owner of Weye who lives in the huge newly-built mansion just across the road from the stable has evicted them from their little home behind the Inn because they couldn't afford the rent. Of course, the new landlord raised the rent to exorbitant levels first. So now the woman and her husband (who lost his voice thanks to the depredations of slaughterfish) are reduced to bedrolls outside the Inn.

So now Julian is off to Chorrol to see a retired Legion commander who might be able to do something legally about the whole setup. And Mifune the Black Cat is still accompanying her.

Jerric and Darnand are still in Chorrol. They’ve done a handful of helpful things that needed doing. It seems that every time a dashing hero and his bookish sidekick (or if you ask Darnand a brilliant mage and the guy who carries his luggage) show up in town everyone gets out their to-do list.

Tempers were sour when they returned after dark in a blinding rainstorm. Jerric had planned to camp at Cloud Top, but the storm was too fierce. They’re lucky they didn’t get washed away down the mountain. (I had forgotten how magnificent Cyrodiil’s storms could be. )

At the moment they are dripping all over the Mages Guild lobby. Darnand is ready to call it a night but Jerric would like very much to kill something. Heading to a tavern would be a bad idea. I suspect he might go back out for a walk on his own.

While Julian and Jerric are occupying the northern parts of Cyrodiil, Lothran takes care of business in the south. Or mid-south if you will as he´s not far from the isolated house. He has spent a night in his nice little tent and is soon ready to go back to Skingrad and thereabouts.

This tent btw is the same tent he used when camping a few days in Pale Pass

Renee, so glad that Lady Sage is enjoying her dungeon crawling and hunt for snow. I use Snowy Road to Bruma and quite like it.

Rider, there goes Julian rescuing kittens and puppys and forlorn Nord women again!

Grits, dashing hero and bookish sidekick indeed! Glad they got out of that storm! Chorrol is the only city where Buffy often opts to take a room at an inn instead of sleeping at the guild. It really is a ‘boyz club’ there. She even manages to sleep okay at the Skingrad guild – now that she’s actually convinced Vigge that she really can turn him into a chicken if he tries to visit her in bed.

mirocu, I’m so glad Lothran has a nice tent to use for camping and that he is enjoying his summer down where it’s green.


Buffy got waylaid between Orcrest and Dune (both in Elsweyr) by a sandstorm. She immediately diverted to the nearest shelter – in this case the Two Moons Temple to Azzurah. There is room inside for not only her, but Superian and the other animals she is traveling with. Good thing, since these sandstorms can sometimes last for several days. Once the weather clears, it'll be west to Dune, then northwest to the head of the Strid River. Then a barge out to the Abecean and Anvil.

Is Buffy ever in Cyrodiil these days?

I guess not, since Lothran had to do her vamp hunt duty

I'm sitting around in the Imperial City Prison, waiting for my latest charater to arrive. All I know is that he's an Altmer named Armion, I think he's born under the Warrior, I don't really know yet. In fact that's about all I do know, well, I know he uses magic to some extent, but class and background? I haven't a clue.

I guess I'll just have to see what happens during the tutorial.

Snaat Rayag is just outside of Pell's Gate, and he's got a couple of conjurers (an orc and an argonian) with him. They're traveling towards Leyawiin where Snaaty will restock his skooma once he gets to the Greyland skooma cabin.

8:16 AM, Frostfall 20, 4th Era Year 4: An important moment in Lady Saga's career. She's finally become an Apprentice of Conjuration. Finally she can summon things. This is going to change a lot of things for her, like she'll no longer have to flee every time she misses a shot.

Sundas, 8:35 AM, Frostfall 21: Gaah, Saga's horse died. Dang. That horse was carrying a lot of things, too.

@Acadian that weather sounds so treacherous! I hope Buffy found the shelter she needed!

Back to Oblivion after a brief stint elsewhere

Lissa decided to visit Jessie in her house in Chorrol, leaving the Gold Coast for the first time in (in-game) weeks. The journey itself was surprisingly uneventful, even when Lissa took a shortcut through the forests.

As you can imagine, Jessie was thrilled (“i'm so happy to see you i could burst!“)

They spent the rest of the day relaxing around town, for tomorrow Lissa is off to visit Anyanka in Bravil... But she's itching for a dungeon dive

Yay for Saga! She´s a Conjurer now!


Oh, noes! That is always so sad when it happens

Yeah it sucked too because the mod I was using (Simple Saddlebags) apparently deletes all the things being carried by the horse if it dies. SO that makes it even more necessary to park that horse in a safe place.

Loredas, Sun's Dusk 17: More Saga sagas. She's in Chorrol now and wound up touching a forge at Hammer and Steel, but I had no idea this would cause her to get a rather huge bounty. Notice her world just jumped from Frostfall to Sun's Dusk. As Saga served out her sentence, I [censored] forgot that most of her things were in a respawning drawer over at Oak & Crossier. So guess what, all that stuff got stolen (or respawned, however you want to look at it). This includes a silver bow, silver crossbow, lots of arrows & bots, a full set of chainmail armor, and about 2 dozen potions and miscellaneous items.

Good thing she's got a lot of money saved. She can't afford to buy a horse (not in Chorrol anyways) but she can afford to buff up her gear.

In other news, I gamed for damn-near 12 hours today. Not all at once; I took a lot of breaks, but I started gaming this morning before daybreak, and I'm about to get with Saga for another hour or so now.

I did that when I was new to Oblivion. This mod thing must really got you hooked..

Renee, sounds like Saga had a bad day...

You on the other hand... 12 hours!? Can't complain with that
