QUOTE(Grits @ Nov 24 2016, 01:55 AM) Jerric is not usually motivated by titles or awards any more than he is dissuaded by fines or brief stints in legal custody. However today he was named Daedric Lord Slayer. He wears it with pride. Awesome!! Quite the title!

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

I was thinking about Jerric's titles and imagined the fishing one is the one he would really want. I was a bit nervous to mention it though. Thank you, hazmick, for clarifying that the proper title is Master Angler. I was afraid it might be Master Baiter, given that apparently you have to know what bait to use where. Buffy is proud to be a Master Wizard and cannot ever imagine changing that out for another.

"Master Baiter," ha! I'm sure that's the first title Jerric ever earned! Jerric has the Monster Hunter, Volunteer, Pact Hero, Master Wizard, Fighters Guild Victor, Kingmaker, and Sun's Dusk Reaper titles as well. He liked Monster Hunter. I'll be surprised if he switches from Daedric Lord Slayer, unless it's Master Angler or another Daedra-killing recognition. He gets embarrassed by the "hero" stuff, but he wouldn't mind being known for his PvF prowess. I knew Jerric was getting close to the General Executioner award from browsing for new dyes, but I wasn't consciously keeping track. Here's how that last anchor went: Molag Bal: "From your sanctuary on Vvardenfell I summon you, Lord Dregas Volar!" Grits: Cool, I wonder if he's one of the ones you haven't—Jerric: "VOLAR! AT LAST WE MEET!" *mayhem* So I guess one of us remembered.

Thanks! For the past couple of days I've been campaigning Alise Sudmeri, my doughty Dunmer Dragonborn, in the Ebonheart Pact of ESO. She loves it. Already she has discovered much to like. Bleakrock Isle reminds her a little too much of Argis, she misses him constantly. But Davon's Watch has been almost like a homecoming for her. And she has told me she definitely likes the light armor - never mind the leathers that she favored in TESV. She is also a heavy magic user - I'm playing her as a stamsorc and she is using the bow as her primary weapon. Later on we probably will switch to dual wield daggers, but for now it's the bow. Once she levels up enough to get the second bar, she probably will add the daggers. Earlier this evening Alise got to adventure a little bit through Stonefalls with Calia Lia of Ebonheart (I think that's the one), one of mALX's younger characters. We had fun collecting sky shards, lore books and mats, and Alise got to tick a few wayshrines off her map as well. Calia Lia is quite the character, and will fidget and dance and amuse herself while we are chatting.

She had a blast exploring with Alise! Later last night she went to a photo shoot with her Guild and then the Guild ran two Pledges for the Undaunted, which was (for once) tremendous fun since the head of the Guild came along and kept us all healed up so well. (He is a Templar like Buffy). This post has been edited by mALX: Nov 30 2016, 03:51 PM

Speaking of healers. . .
Buffy had what, on balance, is a good experience yesterday in Shadowfen (Ebonheart Pact). She was doing a small side quest and the task boiled down to completing some Argonian trial by fighting a very skilled warrior while under the effects of a poison that completely shut down all ability to heal/regenerate health and with only 75% of your health to start.
Buffy is now a magicka templar healer and this amounts to asking a bowgirl to fight without a bow. She can self-heal faster than most foes can damage her while doing respectable damage. As such, she has a tiny red bar because she relies on constant healing in combat (small red and green bars mean a giant blue bar of course). We did give it one try, but her tactics are so based on healing that, not only was the fight difficult under any circumstances, but trying to fight outside her ‘norm’ was not smooth or natural at all. Without the restrictions, she would have easily won. With her healing disabled however, she didn’t stand a chance and quickly lost. It was not even close enough to consider trying again.
Normally, she is extremely capable in a fight, but this one seemed custom made to thwart her as it honed in so totally on her vulnerability. We knew that if she gets ‘stun-locked’ or runs out of magicka she is dead. Now we realize how fully dependent she is upon for healing - and what an awesome gift it is.
Although disappointed, it was her butterfly totem that comforted her by pointing out that her strengths also carry the seeds of her weakness. She understood. At her request, I deleted the quest and she contentedly rode away from this one. I am much happier with what she learned than had she tried to force herself into tactics that are unnatural for her in order to accomplish one silly side quest.

I was about to offer her a glyph of absorb health on any weapon of her choice. I'm pretty sure that is how Misa survived the test.
