Yeah, keep him a secret until he has pwnd ze geyhm!

If one of my characters does that, I'll kill him myself

Any difference to your other characters how...?

It's been so long since I used that mod, I mean since any of my characters have been to Morcant's cottage, I only vaguely recall its location. But now I know who I'll ask for directions if needed.

Map marker, mate. No need to ask me

Well, I don't usually kill them intentionally.

I rarely check them. And always when I start a new game, I use the command tmm 0 so all markers that are added automatically, disappear from the map.

Morndas, Sun's Dawn 25

Days Passed: 183

Got up early just before dawn to head toward Sinkhole Cave to the north. Renee Gade III got captured after reading a note which told her to leave her friends & weapons behind, and Felrika came and saved her*

By then it was late morning, so RG3 went back home to fetch Gabrielle. They'd both go to the Imperial City to have a pleasant day, eating and bathing and such.

Jada (the party's dark elf archer) decided to quit adventuring for awhile, but she managed to find another dark elf friend named Syssi to take her place.** Renee, Syssi, and Felrika shall leave the I.C. to head toward this cabin owned by Roland Jenseric tomorrow. They'll also go to Cheydinhal. Renee has been thinking of finding Haili the mage again.


*Test Quest 10

** This all happened because I hit a couple wrong buttons (Party > Return and Party > Retrieve) but it made sense, RP wise.

How exactly your custom companion saved Renee?

She was "teleported" to another place and Felrika came after her?

So Renee is making her own quests? Neat


------------------------------


Lothran is now in the Imperial City after having had some fun with the necrodudes on the high island S-E of the city. He arrived late in the afternoon/early evening and thusly did not bother going to the stores.
Continued fun was had with the sewer bandits in the Market District, four to be precise, and every one of them was finished off by the guards. One actually down in the sewers where no less than three guards fought him.

Currently sitting at the Merchant´s Inn, the Dunmer is awaiting dawn and future transactions with the local businessmen/women.

Renee, I too am fascinated by your creative modding (and Xena/Gabbie).

Mirocu, I hope Lothie enjoys his time in the IC. I certainly hope he gets to both the shoppes and the University.

My decrepit avatar and Vilja have just entered a little tavern outside the Imperial City near Talos bridge, where they will eat a lite meal before continuing on to Weye. It'll be late evening by the time they arrive home. My avatar will go immediately to his bed.

I joined them in Leyawiin, they having just concluded a patrol of the Green. Rather than devote a day to cleansing Rockmilk, as is normally the case, they elected to begin their return home right away, with stop en route to gather taxes due at Drunken Dragon Inn. The ride up the Yellow was largely uneventful. They engaged in not a single combat, that function being well covered by legionnaires and other road travelers. From my perspective as observer the trip was enjoyable due to a combination of pleasant weather and lack of immersion breaking incidents. (With my combo of traveler adding mods, I find the Yellow the most prone to immersion breaking combats between supposed allies of all Cyrodiil's roadways.)

Is that combat between allies caused by mod conflicts? I have seen a Forester and guard in Bruma fight to the death!

That´s in the vanilla game, but yeah I reckon it´s the same thing.


I just wondered what was up with the Tireless Crusader™! Thanks for letting us know, Decrepit!

Yes, I am so tickled to hear the continued travels of your Decrepit avatar and Vilja! As I read, I can still imagine your voice saying these things from the vids, imagine your singing as your horses plod slowly down the road - LOVE your vids, and your stories on here are a nice reminder of them!

Your story on here though - it lacks so much of the spontaneous humor that the vids have! The back and forth between Decrepit and Vilja keeps me rolling, and little asides like Decrepit's thoughts on Nerussa, etc.

As mirocu says, the issue is at heart a vanilla failing. I do believe that it is, in my case, greatly exacerbated by certain of the mods I run. I also suspect that at least one mod might possibly trigger occasional "friendly" attacks that would not otherwise occur, but have never been able to prove it. I long ago set a Bash-Patch option that allows more "friendly hits" than normal before triggering aggro to "15", its highest value. It seems to be ignored, at least at times. I've seen many an ally fight break out, and swear a number of them started well before the "friends" had a chance to accidentally hit each that many times.

Heh...yeah, this latest report was more to remind folk that my avatar is alike and kicking (to the limited extent his poor knees allow kicking) than a juicy narrative of his mundane exploits.

Speaking of which, I should inform folk that, when I rejoined the gang, Vilja announced she was not hungry. There was nothing for it at that point but to continue their journey. Took only a few minutes to reach home. My avatar bid Vilja good night, consumed a late evening snack (lager - sweetroll) on his private third floor balcony, and retired to bed for the night.

He woke circa 0700 next morning, a whole hour past his normal waking hour, broke fast on the balcony (a breakfast sammich made from a muffin, his last egg, his last slice of ham, and cheddar cheese, washed down with cider and polished off by a fig), changed into suitable attire, walked to White Gold Tower, turned in gathered tax, accepted a new tax assignment, and began the day's major endeavor, a cleansing of the city sewers. He elected to do so on his own, having left his ward to her own devices in Weye. He soon came to regret that decision, running in to pockets of very tuff goblins. (Turns out much of his difficulty with them stems from one of their shaman casting multiple disintegrate spells on his sword, which he didn't notice until after the fact.) Be that as it may, he survived. I left him mid afternoon. He plans to return to Weye, dine with Vil, and maybe go for an evening swim in Lake Rumare. Next day? Likely a tax run to Faregyl Inn. We shall see.

By the way, this was my first chance to check out a new (to me) texture/mesh replacer: Bettys Sewers (Nexus). It comes in a choice of two variants, "wet" and "dry". I installed the "wet" variant and am VERY impressed. Looks to be a very solid improvement over vanilla. Too bad my avatar so seldom visits those sewers. Then again there's no reason why he can't explore 'em more often. Clearing the Imperial City underground of scum seems something he ought to take an interest in. Who knows?, maybe he'll add it to his list of things to do once every (or every other) patrol cycle.

Good lord this thread got busy! Good to see our Decrepit Avatar is back. :Viking;

Lopov: That update describes one of my test quests for RG3's game. Before getting Joan to save Sarah, I had to do a lot of experimenting. Yes, I made a custo, ... I mean custom-made NPC to save Renee in that one. I think she found some note in that cave, which bumped the quest so that she winds up getting a moveto into a different cell. And then when RG3 picked up an object (a discarded sword, in this case), this caused the quest to bump again. After waiting an hour, the NPC who saved Renee shows up, kicked some butt, although during these tests, oftentimes nothing would happen. And I'd have to run back into the Construction Set to tweak stuff over and over.

Lothran: I mean mirocu, whoa, he went down into the sewers? Nice!

He loves doing that in the Market District. It´s like going to the Arena but without having to spend any money

When I abandoned the gang to down my daily dosage of heart meds while ago, my decrepit avatar and Vilja were paused at the Talos District gateway, about to exit the Imperial City, reclaim their beasts, and begin a patrol of the Black to Chorrol. Afternoon is well progressed. It is unusual but not unheard of for my avatar to accept a patrol assignment so late in the day. His thoughts on the matter, in so far as I am able to ascertain them, are that 1) the ride to Chorrol is relatively short and peaceful, so that they should arrive at their destination very near normal bedtime, and 2) it provides a welcome yet non disruptive variant to well established routine. They will, of necessity, spend the night in Chorrol's Fighters Guild hall.

Their patrol of the Blue started out on a sour note, with heavy rain commencing by the time they reached Chestnut Handy Stables. Thankfully it proved no more than a brief squall, clearing as they approached the Prison complex along Perimeter Road. From that point onward weather was well-nigh perfect. They had little to deal with on the ride, though one ogre did manage to get the drop on them by concealing itself behind a rock at roadside...for all the good it did him.

In Cheydinhal they delivered two packages. My avatar hoped to grab a quick meal while there, but Vil wasn't hungry. They instead returned to IC posthaste, encountering one bandit en route. To my avatar's satisfaction his ward was at last hungry so that they were able to feed themselves (Foaming Flask) before accepting the Chorrol patrol assignment.

The day prior was devoted to a Faregyl Inn tax gathering run. Not much to say about that venture. It was a pleasant ride in excellent weather with not a single adversary to worry about. (This was to be expected, they having cleansed the Green only a few days prior.) Oh yeah, they dined at Wawnet Inn and capped the day with an evening swim in Lake Rumare.

Sounds like Vilja is on a diet?
