After a tour in the magnificent Great Forest and the Colovians, Lothran is now back in Skingrad and the Fighters Guild. A few trinkets were found in the ruins and caves he visited though nothing really worth mentioning.

Sounds beautiful, and this is his time of year for that!

It sure is


More ´sploring the Skingrad/Kvatch county. Found another female Khajiit bandit behaving like a Highwayman. Though Lothran decided to remove his Stockholm Syndrome and get his Septims back this time

I fired up Severan's game earlier. He was taking a stroll in the Temple District of the Imperial City when he was approached by a Dunmer woman, on behalf of her husband. He went chasing that down, and is about to head out for Memorial Cave.

But I've hit something of a problem with his game. He's got more than thirty thousand septims, and at least another five thousand worth of enchanted items(mostly armour) to sell, and Frostcrag Spire is now fully restored. Which is where the problem comes in:

I don't know that he's got any motivation to continue traipsing around Cyrodiil anymore.


I also put in a little time with Ralyn. He's killed off some mountain lions, and now has the tedium of watching Quill-Weave to deal with, so I've left that for later.

Well, once he's raised a bit more, he can consider Imbel Manor, assuming he's prepared to do the quest. The mod is on the Nexus

And Severan's game is on my Xbox 360

Urgh, pissed off.

Took Severan to Memorial Cave today.

There, he added a new enemy to his "Cyrodiil is scary" list.

A faded wraith.

It killed him.

Ouch. Severan must be quite a low-level

He was level 14, but his strength and endurance hadn't been increased, and he didn't have an enchanted weapon. So getting hit by it meant his strength and endurance were both halved, so he couldn't move. He survived a couple of those spells by chugging a healing potion and turning invisible.

But then it hit him from up close(both his nighteye and detect life spells had run out during the fight, so when he tried running, he did so blind), then followed up with its silence spell. The dispel potions that Severan was carrying simply weren't powerful enough.

It's okay CT, he died in action, and that's only fair. Must have been intense, right?

The last few moments certainly were. Nothing I could do but sit and watch the faded wraith kill him, after everything else failed.

I think I'll delete his save files and restart him, with a few changes. Firstly, I don't think reddish hair looks right on a Dunmer And I think he'll have to put a little more emphasis on getting through the recommendation quests. I don't know that that kind of character can afford to rely on finding enchanted weapons after level twelve or so, when the nastier critters start appearing.

And turn undead spells might be worth looking into...

Well, you know what they say: Another day, another restart

And turn your difficulty down too CT, if you've got it cranked to the right


Really, you too? Oh my, but you've come so far, mirocu.

One night in Anvil makes the Dunmer happy,
the town is nice and so is Flowing Bowl.
You´ll find the port to be a little shabby,
but castle´s nice and so is the lighthouse.

The Count is gone, where could he be, I ask.



-Thank ye, thank ye...


Yes, the Dunmer is living it up in Anvil County! He´s currently stationed at the Flowing Bowl, it´s midnight and rain is pouring down outside, as it has all day. Before going to the Bowl, Lothran took whatever few items of interest he had left in Benirus Manor and proceeded to give County Anvil its deed and key. He has officially nothing more to do with the Manor

Nice poem, mirocu!

The Flowing Bowl? Why Buffy was just there recently.

I hope I won´t get any copyright strikes...


Yes, I believe Lothran made himself heard as well as Buffy. "Shuddup!" is usually not ignored...

I've now recreated Severan and gotten his new game going. What's interesting is that I'm already noticing some differences:

Obviously, he doesn't look quite the same. Since I'd long since overwritten the save at the sewer exit I had to redo the tutorial, so his face isn't the same. And his hair's black this time, though it's the same style as before.

What surprised me is his birthsign. I was going to select The Mage, but I got a very strong impression that The Atronach was the right one to pick, so I went with it.

And unlike his previous incarnation, this Severan seems to favour robes:

When in darkness or shadow, robes are useful. They blur the figure somewhat; making the outline less distinct, and so more difficult to discern or recognise, and easier to ignore or dismiss.

I wasn't expecting him to be this different, so this should be interesting...

Giving up that nice manor?


*mALX hurries to Anvil with a blank check in hand...*


"Come on, Maxical! You said you always wanted to live in Anvil!"

Maxical would be a great, new owner to the Manor


Funny how Severan this time around prefers robes. Lothran doesn´t wear them but he collects them

Maxical doesn't like wearing robes, however she does have several black ones that weigh nothing which she has enchanted in various ways so she can carry several of them for certain situations that may or may not pop up in her line of work.

What line of work, you may ask?

Uh...er... Well, she is just an adventurer
