All the more reason for her to loot it...

Lothran is now in his home at the Waterfront. Stuff needs to be offloaded and the city needs to be visited before heading out again. After all, our princess is in another castle...

I think Buffy would be a miserable thief. Knowing her, she'd steal the stuff she needed to fence for the quests while leaving bags of gold in place of the stolen stuff to compensate the owners.

Isn´t that adorable?

I don't rule that out. If she had any idea how the TG questline helps her friend Countess Anvil, she'd undertake it in a heartbeat. She has a soft spot for love stories, matchmaking and such.

That's a line from the Mario Brothers games. You played?


Middas, 10:54 am Frost Fall 3, 4th Era 20

Renee Gade III and her two companions are in the middle of nowhere, looking for a family heirloom which was stolen from one of the merchants in Bravil. There are three possible places (all of them caves) that this heirloom can be. This particular quest requires some roughing it in the Niben Valley, since the last civilization they saw was two days ago: an inn somewhere back on the Silverfish River.

The Renee Power Trio just raided Nayon Camp, had to fight four outlaw bandits, and (of course) they won the skirmish. Nayon Camp is GREAT. It has a couple bedrolls and some food. This will allow the party to keep going. The last cave where the heirloom could possibly be is somewhere nearby to the east.

Cheydinhal castle, after visiting hours...


Last night Lothran raided the easternmost castle of Cyrodiil. Not much fun was found except for a bottle of Cyrodilic Brandy in the Count´s quarters which he took as his only spoil. Count Indarys won´t get his early bottle of the day this morning...

Hah, I really like reading about Lothran the thief. First it was Castle Bravil, now Castle Cheydinhal, looking forward for more.

Renee Gade III is headed into the Imperial City, where I believe she's about to buy the Waterfront Shack. Pretty sure she's got the money all saved up in the bank after all the running around she's been doing.




EDIT: And I've done a grand switch from Renee back to Saga. Renee was fun to be with over the last few weeks, but I'm finally needing a change. IT sounds funny that here I am playing the same exact game, but a simple switch in characters has refreshed my enthusiasm. lol.

Saga is in Leyawiin, taking it easy, getting equipment repaired, etc. She needs food. The Three Sisters only has a loaf of ham for sale, and Aerin is basically vegetarian. Vegan, actually. So she's headed to the Mage's Guild to do some mooching because she's going to need something to eat. She, Maglir, and Modryn are headed to the Imperial City tomorrow, where Saga will bring the carving she found to Umbacano.

Compared to Renee, Saga has a grander depth with magic (she's part of the Aracane Uni), is stealthier, and can subsist on ingredients (like mushrooms and flowers) for days. But Renee is ultimately tougher.

Lady Saga had a rather epic moment today. I added a Settlements of Cyrodiil mod, which put a small hamlet in the woods south of Gottlesfont Priory. The hamlet is populated by about a dozen simple farmers, smiths, etc. Somehow, a ghost showed up in the middle of the place, so the entire village starts attacking it. Problem is, they've all got iron & steel weapons, most likely.

Thinking quick, my elf grabbed a silver arrow, then managed to somehow hit the ghost, rather than one of the villagers. The ghost now started coming for Saga, so it was easier for her to hit it two more times, finishing it off.

That was pretty neat. These simpletons deal with a crisis, and the day is saved by an elf just passing through.

Aww, how nice of Saga! Perhaps with CSR, she can issue the new villagers a few silver daggers. I know Buffy carries several just for that purpose.

I am the same way. That is one reason I go through so many characters. Playing someone new always reinvigorates me. It may still be the same old game. But a new character is a new story to tell.

Neat Is it fully voice acted?

mirocu: No it's not voice acted. The NPCs speak generally (It's you...hi... ) but if you try to speak directly to them it's all text. I got a Kvatch mod which I haven't experienced yet that's supposed to be fully voice-acted though.

Acadian: wow, what a good idea with the silver daggars.

[u]SubRosa[u]: Yeah, isn't it nice? All 3 of my PC characters have a small variance of mods in their games (Renee has CM Partners 2.0, Saga has CSR for instance) so that's another thing which alters their worlds a little bit.

Renee, I've found also that if you hang on to scrolls you find and give them to NPCs (yay again for CSR), even the dumbest farmboy will readily use the scrolls. My preference for this is summon scrolls. When Buffy meets a wandering ill-eqipped NPC on the roads, she normally issues them a couple healing potions, a summon scroll and a silver dagger.

(And just to be on the safe side, I always ensure any non-respawning NPC we meet outside of towns gets made essential - OBSE makes the console command for that ever so much simpler.)

Yes, I have noticed that NPCs will also learn from scrolls if you tell them to do so. That's a nice touch. It's why Maglir is so kick-axe in Saga's game. He's got the capacity to learn Destruction spells, so Saga just hands him any Destruction scrolls that she finds.

Speaking of, Saga just hired Parwen from the Skingrad Fighters Guild. This is going to be fun. Her first female employee. I'm excited. Saga, Parwen and Maglir are going to head towards Anvil, making a stop to see the ruins of Kvatch, which (if everything goes right) will be much different from what I've ever seen in the vanilla game.

Renee, Do you remember when we talked some time ago about a girl that Loypuur wanted to travel with but was rejected? Well, this was Parwen. She's cute, isn't she?

Wow on Maglir learning destruction spells. I thought CSR-recruited could only exercise that option (if requested by you) if the school of the spell was a major skill for them. That's why I liked Erthor; as a sorcerer, he has destruction and conjuration as majors.

Saga, Parwen, and Maglir should make a fun team! How exciting to see a different Kvatch.

Acadian, I love Buffy’s care package for travelers. She brings kindness to a dangerous world.

Lopov: Funny you should say that. Parwen is VERY cute. She's adorable. That's the first thing I thought of after getting a good look at her. She is also like Saga's long lost sister or friend or cousin. They'll become pals for sure.

And lol @ poor Loypuur. I can see why he fell for her.

Acadian: Correct, there was an option for Maglir to learn from scrolls. We chose that awhile back. I'm pretty sure you make this choice just once, and from then on they just automatically learn new spells.

Gritsy: I chose Giskard's mod. Um... Kvatch Rising. Pseron told me about it (otherwise I would have never discovered this mod). The thing I like about KR is there are supposed to be several stages we can witness Kvatch going through. One is the regular vanilla stage (with the gate, either active or destroyed, depending), and there is a stage where the entire place is in ruins, but without any fires. There's a stage where weeds are overtaking the place, a stage where settlers are just returning, and a stage where the place is fully on its feet again.

I'm going to choose the weed-infested one for Saga's game, since that makes sense because after 5 years this is how the place would look. And for Renee's (which is 20 years after the Crisis) I'm going to choose the 'settlers just returning' stage. Should be fun.

My elf got to Kvatch but it's weird. I see that some elements of Kvatch Rising are in place, but it's not what I expected. So I decided I am going to switch to my very first character, who was a test in many ways. I want to have him go there and I'll see how this mod is supposed to work. "cause I want this to be perfect!
