mirocu - The report of Lothran going about his normal winter routine in Bruma brings a smile.

Renee - 'Grats to Lady Saga for finding the unicorn!

Thanks Acadian.

This morning I'm gaming with Joan of Xbox, and she also had the same thing happen in her game sort of: she found a black horse fighting a wolf, but the BHC gal was dead. So Joan wound up with a free black horse, just like Kahreem!

Not only that, but she just found Battlehorn Castle. I got this in Xbox a long time ago, but have never been here until now. She came upon an armored knight dude fighting three marauders (and going unconscious over and over) so she was able to help the knight kill these baddies one by one. And the best part is the knight immediately wants to follow her around now.

So she has a free horse, and an eager partner. EDIT: oops, the black horse is still considered property of the BHC lady. The knight didn't like it when she got on this horse. But there are ways around this, at least until she buys her own horse. She can just mount the steed when he's not around, find him, and then tell him to follow her.

Everything goes Joan´s way

Battlehorn isn't a very inspired place. It's just a big castle to put loot in, and occasionally sleep in. Makes me wonder if there are any decorating options to be found....

Sounds like they should have put some more effort into it... Isn´t there anything to do after the quest?

There's a quest? Uh oh. Think I missed something. It just seemed like the place is a big, empty shell that eventually gets decorated. There are obvious areas where it looks like stuff should go, but there's nothing there.

Hope I didn´t spoil anything for ya...

Lady Saga is just down the hill from Fort Variela, which is a place full of necromancers. I don't think I've been to this area before. My elf is sidetracked, as usual. She is supposed to be looking for an outlaw khajiit in Pothole Cavern, but she's been to that place twice now, and he's not there. He will show up eventually, though. Maskar of Nexus has promised this.

Joan of Arkay is in jail! Her story now: she was walking back to Chorrol from Battlehorn Castle (the big, mostly empty place she recently found), and she had this knight guy in shiny armor with her. But he got killed already! Killed by a goblin! Joan should have left him back at Battlehorn; turns out he probably didn't have very much health. Then again, neither does Joanie.

The reason she is in jail: apparently it is illegal to mount BHC horses, dangit. The Battlehorn knight saw Joanie mount her new horse, and then telepathically communicated this information to all the guards in 3rd Era Cyrodiil. Joan technically had a bounty, but it was only 250 gold, so the guards left her alone.

She returned to the Fighter's Guild, and changed from armor to clothes in the upper FG tower. There's a non-respawning chest in here, so she keeps all her stuff in this chest. She goes to sleep. Next day, it's Sundas, so she goes to chapel. Tries to pray at the altar, but her bounty prevented this.

So she decides to do the 'right' thing, and finds a guard. She only has like 140 gold, which is not enough to pay her bounty, but it doesn't matter anyway. Even if she had the gold, she would still go to jail. It is the better way to pay for crimes, she thinks.

Poor Joanie!

Today Lothran had some fun with a few goblins in Silver Tooth Cave. His favourite thing to do is sneak in, toss away a lightning bolt that does damage over area and run outside and hop up on a big rock where he can´t be reached. Then he summons his trusty Spriggan friend who in turn summons her trusty bear, and from his spectator position he follows the drama that unfolds. Much more fun than going to the arena!

mirocu, that reminds me of the fun an illusionist can have with command spells! Sit back and watch the fun!

Renee, Battlehorn Castle makes a nice base for a warrior once it’s fully decorated. There is indeed more to it than what you first see.

Poor Joanie! It’s admirable that she would choose to serve her sentence rather than pay off the fine (even if she had enough cash on her).

Lothran has been doing the same as Darnand and Jerric: killing goblins. Though I suspect they got a lot dirtier than Lothran did in their adventure. Darnand had a bad scare at the pit of the goblin dungeon. He came upon a blond Nord man in steel plate battling with Jerric. It turned out to be one of a pair of marauders who just looked like Jerric, but for a time he didn’t know what was happening. It was admittedly confusing with Jerric and the other marauder casting spells in the dark. Interesting to me, Darnand’s first thought was that he had lost his mind. That must be his deepest fear.

Ha ha poor Darnand, sheesh!

Sounds interesting - summoning a summoned being that summons it's own summoned being.

Heh, interesting, I imagine that it must have been confusing for Darnand indeed.

Seems like Saga, Lothran, Jerric & Darnand are doing such a great job with killing goblins in Cyrodiil that they completely exterminated them until the events of Skyrim.

The goblins don´t stand a chance!


But as it happens, next move for Lothran is to sell a few bits and bobs (to sound me a bit British, there..) gathered from said goblin hunts



BUT LOPOV, (I scream energetically) will you evah have another ´blivion character??

Yeah, it's been a long time, I know. Raven was my last character in Cyrodiil and his story finished in October 2013. I will probably come to Cyrodiil but I don't know when so I better don't make any promises.

Grits, I imagine Darnand still vividly recalls the time when Jerric fell under the influence of a command spell. No wonder he was given such a bad scare to see two Jerric's battling it out!

mirocu, I know Lothran is very generous, but I hope he doesn't give all his proceeds to the beggars of Bruma. Trust me, they have loads of new shoes and medicine hidden away, thanks to gullible but generous souls.

Fear not, my two-faced friend! Lothran knows very well the beggars have more coins than the average citizen who sleeps inside his own house every night

Two-faced friend. . . . I was trying to figure out what you meant by that when my avatar cycling from paladin to elf caught my eye.

Oh my gosh look who's talking!

I actually will have another, I've got a really GREAT idea for a new one, just you wait and see. Her game relies on an old mod which I'm not even sure will work, but if it does it'll be amazing. Just waiting for some rain or snow.

Her game will most likely be questless, so she won't interfere with my others too much.
