Tarvyn Dralor is now in Chorrol again. He's been getting some private tuition from Teekeeus, and is now able to cast apprentice level conjuration spells. So now he can summon a skeleton. He didn't much like the thought of a ghost or zombie, and the skeleton has a longer duration than the scamp, so should be more useful as a distraction.

He also got some potion brewing done: 26 restore magicka, 17 restore health, and a dozen poisons. ANd he's still got plenty of ingredients to spare. Seems Tarvyn's quite the fan of alchemy.

Oh, and he's thinking about buying a horse.



Here's a pic of Tarvyn in his travelling gear, at the Chorrol Mages guild.

CT - Lissa loves the Wawnett Inn. Have Tarvyn picked up any of Nerussa's precious Shadowbanish wine on his travels? Also congrats on Tarvyn's new summon! I agree, skeletons are great distractions, although I find the lower level ones to be less... stable than other summons. Does Tarvyn (great pic BTW!) Plan on getting more adept with conjuration?

You know, for some reason I´m not complaining about being out of work as I did in the beginning...


Ah, yes. That´s him. Not that unlike Lothran in his early days in fact when his hair was dark and he wore that same weightless shirt

@R - If Lothran passes by Wawnet he´ll be sure to drop in and say hi to Lissa

Mirocu - She would love that! She and Lothran can share a bottle of Shadowbanish... should Nerussa part with one haha

Not yet, he's still pretty new to Cyrodiil (level 2!) and has only just gotten the spells to let him snipe in the dark.



Yeah, the standard skeleton's a bit flimsy, but Tarvyn really didn't like the options at apprentice level. He might experiment with hitting it with a shield spell, I'll have to wait and see. As for how good at summoning he'll get, I have no idea yet. I'm hoping he'll become more adept in both illusion and conjuration, just because I've never had a character use the higher level spells, but it'll depend on how he fights.

I love hearing about some of the dungeon crawling!

Sounds like a wine tasting party at Nerussa's place in Weye!

Glad everyone's having fun and our DiD'ers are still alive. Speaking of which, nice to hear that Teekeus is helping Tarvyn muster some help in the form of Slim the Magical Bag o' Bones.

Buffy's stay at Anvil was not long, for the weather did not cooperate. But the Gold Coast needs rain too I guess. She and Superian departed to the north for Beldaburo, and are now working their way via selected dungeons overland and generally east. I expect her next retrofit/town stop will be Skingrad.

Then maybe she´ll run into Lothran again! Said dunmer has just finished up a dive deep into Heynote Cave where he found various things of interest. He also made use of his complete arsenal of attacks even though not that much was killed, circumstances however required different tactics.

He has of now officially also started to collect even regular and flawed gems

Good luck with the shelves, McB! How fondly I recall balancing things on paintbrushes so they looked like they were hung on the wall. My books were always a disaster!

Rihanae, I’m so sorry to hear about Oleta! I completely understand not resurrecting her. Now that I can I don’t hesitate to do that, but sometimes it just doesn’t seem right, especially when it involves a character’s personal growth.

Acadian, I have a vivid memory of Buffy and Superian’s picture where they’re chasing the setting sun!

Jerric lived in the camp outside Fort Nikel for a long time in one of his console games. If memory serves there’s a torn or open sack of grain there. That makes it home!


Here’s an update from Lildereth and Jerric. As usual the facts are there but have to be inferred.

25 Rain’s Hand

Riverhold

Breton—

It’s me again. The elf is back in the waterfalls and I’m supposed to keep this leg dry until the skin closes, so I told her I’d make some notes for her while I’m waiting. She’s not big but she can sure set a compound fracture before you have much time to scream. Oh, and that potion you marked ‘For Long Bones’ works a treat. Anyway here’s a fact about our trip: Riverhold rocks are slippery.

We plan to stay at the Mages Guild hall while we’re in town so there won’t be many coins spent on beds. Lil gets along pretty well with the cat-folk even though she’s a Bosmer. I’m surprised they don’t notice all the Charm spells she casts at em, but I guess that’s how they work. Even on the mages.

The one in the red robe has us doing something shady for her. I guess that’s something wood elves and the locals have in common. They both cut their eyes at me while they were talking, you know the way that means when I find out I’m not going to like it.

Now look in the box. I put some fig brandy for you and Khajiiti sweets for Abiene in there with the spider venom and silk. One of the brandy bottles is not brandy. It’s venom. Don’t get them mixed up.

Also now that we’re back in the tall grass, rat is on the menu again. You should have seen the elf when we got over the hill into the edge of the forest. She was up to her tits pits in those blue flowers and grinning like a Nord on Loredas before I could blink. Rat meat is free so I spent some extra on mead. Never mind how much.

Well my leg looks like it might hold me again so I’m gonna go give it another try. I’m sure I’ll get all the way to the pool this time. If not you can have my minotaur horn collection.

Ha ha.

Jerric

Here are some screens from today:

Watching her back. Jerric spontaneously took this position on the rock while Lil was frolicking. His subsequent spill is referenced above.

Watching the sunset. We are all completely in love with Riverhold.

Busted. I went to make a save and caught Lil eyeing up the queen’s shirtless Cathay guards. Jerric was apparently still watching Lil’s back.

With a title like Busted, I was expecting him to be looking down her frontside!

Here’s the one where he was truly busted! Though I imagine he took a good look as she was leaving as well.

mirocu - Yay, we'll make a shiny lover out of Lothran yet!

SubRosa - I expected the same thing from a Jerric screen titled Busted!

Grits - Jerric living outside Fort Nikel with just a torn sack to stick his wood elves in! Great pix of Elsweyr - you're not alone in loving Riverhold!

Grits, loved the screenies and the story...Yes, Riverhold is gorgeous!!...As is Lildreth... ... ...





Tharryn's been as far up as Cloud Top and found nothing else of interest along that path, so now we've come back down to Chorrol and then off up the Bruma road...Which is nice...

Currently in Shadow's Rest Rocky Run...Having killt some varm'nts who dids't try to dun me no gud... ...No, wait... ...

Amazing screenies, Grits! That Riverhold place is stunning and so is Lil! Can´t really blame Jerric for looking now, can we...?

Yes!! Today it happened! Lothran passed the magic marker at 6:25PM on the first of Second Seed, year 437 in the third era! It happened while he was by the vintners in Skingrad, the sky was overcast and heavy fog lingered all around.

To celebrate the occasion he fired off a few lighting blasts into the sky and coronated Shameer and Tamika herself. He also made sure to get rid of a few bandits and a stray goblin so that the sheep would be safe for the night.


Author´s comment: -Thank you Lothran for these 2000 hours! I hope you have enjoyed them as I have and that you want to continue our adventures! .... Yes? You will? Awesome!!

Woot! Congrats to you and Lothran! That's fantastic!

Thank you, Acadian!

He´s well behind Buffy and Baa, but this is indeed a major milestone for us and I´m glad that Buffy has been such a big part of our journey

Congrats Mirocu!! I wish you plenty more hours of enjoyment with with Lothie

Congratulations, buddy! It's always good to hear that you and Lothran never get enough of each other. I wish you many more happy hours.

Thank you, both!

I´m so happy that my friend whom I set out with all these years ago is still with me. We have been through so many adventures together and I sure hope for many more!

it's very inspirational. Since moving to PC i've only managed to clock 58 hours! Yours and Lothran's connection and friendship is so wonderful it get's me excited for my future with Lissa

Have celebration cake!
