Trey finally decided to see what Mighty Mordra the Orismer wanted- and after some hesitation (spiders? why does it have to be SPIDERS?!) decided to take her up on her offer.

But, as might be expected, he got sidetracked. First, there were some Lion Guard people who were in a tussle with the Aldmeri Dominion. Since Trey's feelings about the AD make his attitude toward the old Septim Empire seem mild- he was happy to get into the fight. Note to anyone not aware- getting the second weapon bar and using the Snipe ability with a fire bow and sneaking is a beautiful thing- just saying.

So, after saving some scouts (and they didn't even offer him any cookies ), he helped a different Orismer who had managed to get himself captured by the cultists who seem to infest the whole of Tamriel. Meanwhile, he also got into a treasure hunt in Dresan Keep which involved a ghost. As it turned out, there were a couple of ghosts... but the conclusion (and the treasure) were quite satisfactory to Trey.

So, some of that faffing about caused him to have to go to Aldcroft, where- you guessed it- he found yet more things to keep him from going and facing the spiders (eek).

Heh, sounds like Trey is having a grand ol’ time! Khajiit remembers the first time Mira encountered a giant snake. We both nearly “soiled our armor”.

Maz is with Trey on that one! She is severely arachnophobic, and when she walked into Spindleclutch, we got goosebumps and quivering knees when we saw that first cluster of spiders just past the Fighters Guild crew. She's okay if they're smaller than your feet, but these . . . !!

She didn't go back in until we were part of a group and the others gave her the courage she needed to push through.

The phobia is still there, but much more manageable - she's learned to call on Mauloch's rage to deal with the fear. That Spider Queen boss inside a certain cave in Grahtwood didn't stand a chance.

There is a World Boss near Alcaire in Stormhaven y’all should probably stay away from...

Lol

Trey saved Duke Sebastien from the cultists... that provisioning skill came in handy to prevent there being a roast Duc in the tower.... Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week. Be sure and tip your atronach.

He also met Sibellec in the fens... her attitude toward the whole "good vs. evil" thing rather grated on his Redoran sensibilities, but she did give him a nifty amulet for his next boss fight- so he might actually survive this one...

In the meanwhile, he completed his first provisioning writ. Woo Hoo- what wine goes with this fishy stick?

Sickly Bernice's Roofwater Wine. Or rather, that wine doesn't go with anything else.

Today in Tamriel...

Mira clenched the achievement Deshaan Adventurer and then moved on to set things right in Shadowfen. Even after the Pact’s campaign there, she is finding many people in need of assistance against all manner of foes. Currently, she is one decision away from either helping a settlement of living skeletons find peace in final death or cementing their continued existence in this undead state. Either decision will earn Mira some enemies from the faction of skeletons that favor the opposite outcome from what she chooses, but she knows what she thinks is right and just, and nothing will sway her from her decision...

Interesting- Trey was also in Shadowfen.... He intended to relax and do a little fishing, but what with crocodiles, wamasu, plague husks, and people wanting his help....

Yeah- it didn't work out. After trying to catch a few fish (and getting jumped by some critters), he gave it up and went back to crafting writs. After all, 3 shields and 6 bows is better than what the answer to "So what's biting?" turned out to be.

Sounds like Trey would rather face almost anything rather than tackle those spiders, lol.






WOO HOO, Congrats to Trey on that first Writ!















I Loved this quest! Still have the skeleton polymorph it gave us! THIS is one of the quests I wanted to do for the Witches Festival Guild meeting; but we ended up just doing the polymorph goblin. Still I love that goblin too!

Bahahaha!!

Jerric tends to bring empty soul gems to fill on fishing trips. There's always an adventure!

Trey went on a "Dying Across Glenumbra" tour.... He got killed by the Wyrd Tree Corruption (3 times), Skitterflame in Dead Man's Hallow (2 times), and the Bad Man dremora (once).

After all that- he repaired to his room in the Rosy Lion to contemplate a quieter future- possibly back in Coldharbour. Or maybe just staying at that nice home in Wrothgar with the hot springs and the kitty and all....

Ah ha! Another reason for me to set Pinnacle as the main residence, not Mournoth Keep!

That one cheats! I got killed half a dozen times because the circle of protection around the elemental guardians didn't do anything. Then I logged off and back in, and it started working. I still died a couple more times before succeeding.

Other recent glitches: I went to turn in a writ, and the crate wasn't there. Doing the alchemy certification, the quest marker for the certifying mage pointed to where he usually stood in the guild, but he was waiting by the alchemy table in another building.

I thought ZOS developed this, not Bethesda.

My characters have got the free inn rooms in each Alliance, but in total we have one stool and a stick to furnish with. Looking to make some more, if we can find the blueprints/patterns/stuff. What level do you need to be to make a bed?

Had the same experience with the alchemy cert... guy moves around...

Will try logging out while inside the Wyrd tree. Because they definitely don't always protect me.

Well Mira had another busy day of wrapping up quests in the Pact territories. She claimed the Shadowfen Adventurer achievement and moved on to Eastmarch. She finished the day with only 3 more quests to finish before getting the Eastmarch Adventurer achievement.

Trey collected 3 ancient swords from the Alessian battlefield in northern Glenumbra, and then watched the bickering mages turn the simple ceremony into a cockup.

So- while searching for iron, he stumbled into Bad Man's Hallow- see above.

After all that, he decided to try his luck fishing in Shadowfen, but the fish refused to appear anywhere in the designated zones. Since those spots are supposed to refresh quickly, he abandoned the quest. He will now pick it back up to see if that resets the fishing holes. He did take out 5 crocodiles and 1 wamasu...

ETA- Apparently the Festival is over... which may be why the fishing was glitched. After abandoning the quest, Breda no longer seems to spawn at the location S of Windhelm. Ah well- maybe next year.

Mira says, “Pfft. Mages. Always overthinking everything.”

Brenna has gone into Bad Man’s Hollow a few times for the Mages Guild. Lucky for her there is no serious combat between her and the objective.

For some reason, Khajiit hates fighting crocodiles with anyone besides Brenna. Mira and Feng both roll their eyes every time they have to fight another crocodile.

Trey met perhaps his favorite person in-game so far (excluding the mad crew he adventured with the other night): Walks-Softly.

"Look! A crypt! Nothing bad EVER happens in a crypt!"

"Did I mention I'm afraid of spiders? I will do my best to overcome it."

OMG! I loved Walks Softly! He is hilarious! Like more than one of my coworkers . . .
