I probably won't touch any official mods, instead I'll add my own ideas. I already added a couple wenches, for instance. Females who do the grunt work. Place needs more women. I also (finally) was able to make those wimpy Battlehorn Men-At-Arms more durable, so they'll actually last for awhile longer than they did on Xbox. Some of those guys... one encounter with a couple goblins might finish them.

I also added a script to Rona which makes her 'attend' to Joan in a more immediate way, according to if Joan sits in a particular chair. Sort of like in Skyrim. If we sit down in some inns, this cases Saadia (or whomever) to come and try to serve us.

...I did all that in a mad flurry last night. Took about 20 minutes or so.

That is a great addition, something I certainly wouldn't have thought of. I wouldn't even know how to begin such a script.

It's summertime for realz and Lothran is relaxing in Anvil county. This time last year we were in Shivering Isles and plans were to return there this year. But things turned out differently and we're quite happy about it. The Gold Coast is very nice and we don't need the adventures of the Isles again.


It's vacation time

Have you heard of that ancient sea battle near Anvil? Apparently, someone dug up Dunbarrow Cove - and there's a cave inside! A cave, I tell you! Aren't you itching to go in? Animals or bandits inside, no doubt.

"Dunbarrow Cove?"sez you.
"Been thar," sez I.
"What you find thar?" sez you.
"Hehe, I know but I ain't gonna tell you," sez I.

Lothran has now left Anvil to go to the Imperial City. There he's gonna offload many things that has been collected since Easter (mainly ingredients) and then it's off to Bravil. He's not going to spend a lot of time in the City at this point.

The sands of Anvil County will change for the swamps of Blackwood

Lothran is now in Bravil and after conducting a few business deals he will head out into the wilderness again. Blackwood and Leyawiin will soon get a visit too.

Say hi to Daenlin! And Nilawen. Oh, and Kud-Ei. And Ardaline too please.

Say "hi" also to Lady Saga! And Chainsaw Lollipop!

(Oops, wrong game)

Skooma? You've got Skooma? Friend? Pal? To share? Oh pass the Skooma already!

Lothran is currently at the Fighters Guild in Leyawiin county.

Does Lothie ever run into Buffy's dear friend Sir Mazoga while visiting the Leyawiin area?

No. Much like Dr Betruger at the end of Doom 3 she's nowhere to be found.

Well, I'm sure the valiant Knight of the White Stallion died valiantly defending Leyawiin from Black Bow Bandits.

Whoops!

Welcome back, Phon! Although I don't quite remember those cities from Oblivion...

Ha ha!
It's good to be back!

Just realised what I've done there!

Sundas, Heartfire 29, 4th Era Year 1 -- Lady Saga is in Chorrol, where she just finished getting paid by County Chorrol to rid the scum of Black Rock Caverns. She can do more work like this, but right now she has over 5,000 gold stored away in her horse's bags. This money needs to go to Valenwood, for she does not trust Cyrodiil's new banks.

Saga is a wanderer though. She won't go straight to Valenwood. Right now she's thinking about heading southwest toward Sutch and Anvil. Cutting straight through forest and grassland. Seeing if she can find anywhere new to explore. Because that's what Lady Saga does best. Explores for new places, while living off the land for sustenance.

Sundas, Heartfire 29, 4th Era Year 1 -- Lady Saga is in Broken Promises Cave. Didn't I just say she would get distracted? Overall, she's headed to Valenwood, but -- as usual -- she will take the long way home.

Broken Promises is full of bandits, slayers, ringleaders, and so on. Saga these days often uses a combination of tactics to defeat them. Like this....

1). Shoot enemy with bow or crossbow.
2). Summon a bear, or 10 rats, if enemy is not pwned instantly.
3). Go invisible, as a last resort. Sneak away.
4). Find a safe place to set up, aim, and take fire.

I got some great pictures, I will post them tomorrow.

Sundas, Frost Fall 4, 4th Era Year 1 -- Lady Saga discovered Wind Cave, which is somewhere in the Colovian grasslands.

Wind Cave is new for her! I've been keeping track of every location she visits, putting them all on a Notepad page over the past 7 years or something. So I know she hasn't been to Wind yet. She did not stay long, though. Had a peek inside, saw a land dreugh fighting a glass golem, and decided not to explore that one. She's not a big fan of monster hideouts.

Now she is in Fort Ditrich, which contains undead and... some sort of NPC. Probably magical. My elf has poisoned her bow with a silence dose, just to be sure.
