mirocu doesn't do Steam-related games. So no Skyrim, no Fallout New Vegas. And probably no Elder Scrolls VI.

Honestly I must say I admire you Crow for sticking to your credo there. I also dislike having to go through Steam, even though I have the Anthology set, which means I've got the game on disc. But I'm too addicted to Elder Scrolls to not play these latter games.

And yah, I know I'm off-topic. It's November, which means I'm switching from Lady Saga to Joan of Arkay (Oblivion). Last I saw Joanie she was in Battlehorn Castle. There, back on topic.

Lothran won at the Arena today! Doesn't mean he's in the black though, really. It just means he won back the 100 gold he bet plus the 100 gold he lost last time. Oh, well.

He also sold off some weapons and armor collected from the Market District sewer bandits as well as visiting the many residents who live in the Imperial City.

Lothran has now arrived in Aleswell where he will spend a week before heading up to Bruma. During this week he will mess with the dangers of Fingerbowl Cave and visit Ancotar at his ruin. Fortunately, no sibling was trapped inside the staircase at the inn this time, as was the case last year when Lothran had to pull a special trick in order to get the sibling out

And the inevitable trek to Bruma is well underway. I'm sure the Bruma guards look forward to Lothran's return.

Personally, I think that Lothran should have left that sibling under the stairs. More peace that way.

Quite possible. Anything to ease the workload!


Nah, he likes being able to talk to people. Plus, that constant foot tapping trying to get out is annoying

After a good night's sleep, Lothran set out in the morning, leaving Aleswell, and took the Red Ring Road to where it intersects with the Silver Road right by the Ayleid ruin Sercen. As usual his Spriggan dispatched a couple of marauders who kindly enough left some valuable stuff for Lothran to pick up and later sell.
Further up the road was a single bandit and past the second to last sign pointing towards Bruma, Lothran bagged no less than two ogres. The very first ones for this winter season.

Entering the East gate, Lothran immediately turned right and walked up to his house. When the door closed softly behind him and the smell of stale air greeted him, he was overwhelmed with the feeling of really being where he's supposed to be.


Lothran was home.

Ahh, Lothran is finally home and winter has arrived. Hope he got that fire going.

Look out goblins. Look out ogres of Pale Pass. Your convoluted days within safe walls are done.

Yup! It once again spreads its warmth throughout Lothran's winter abode


It's open season!

------------------------------
Besides lighting the fireplace, Lothran has spent some time putting everything he brought with him into its rightful container. We can conclude that no less than fifteen vampires has been slain this year, not too shabby. No Shadowbanish Wine collected though

And of course Snowflake has been retrieved from its drawer and will once again serve as Lothran's sidearm of choice.

As a novice at the time, Buffy was proud of that dagger when she made it. Only later did she fully realize how humble a weapon it is. At least it packs a lot of charges! It has always warmed her heart that Lothran still carries it.

And why wouldn't he?

Any weapon can be great when used correctly. With Snowflake, Lothran always utilizes a spell to prep the enemy, making them 100% weak to both Frost and Magic as a whole while also paralyzing them for 3 secs. That makes Snowflake quite good despite the low charge per hit. And as it's a dagger it's very quick to attack with, meaning the enemy takes many hits during those 3 secs which is often enough to bring down a bandit and seriously weaken an ogre or a goblin.


All in all, it's a nice weapon to supplement Lothran's magic abilities with and a strong reminder of a good friend

Wow, I didn't know Snowflake was made by Buffy! Very nice.

It sure is


Lothran has just spent his first evening at Olav's Tap and Tack for the season. As usual, Ongar stole food and got cut down by a guard who right after was shocked about it and gently asked Ongar if he was ok
No sign of Salomon Geonette the composer though. Lothran usually sees him at Olav's when first arriving in Bruma for the season.

Not much more than this happened today other than some visits and generally strolling around town.

It's so nice to be back

Go into the Construction Set and give poor Ongar some food in his inventory. From what I understand, this should help keeping the guy from breaking the lawwww and getting "cut down". :

Might as well give some to City Swimmer and that stable hand who works outside of Skingrad, too.

Nah, Ongar will have to fend for himself


-----------------------
Lothran has now done his first excursion to the bandit camp on the road east. He also met Honmund on the way and took the opportunity to count the number of Clouded Funnel Caps he had on his person. This will then be checked again when the season is over next March.

Current number: 469

And this is why elves live so long! I bet he ate three times as many.

'shrooms for everyone!

Honmund is not an elf but a Nord. Living with Alga, as it happens

Oh I misunderstood! I thought it was Lothran who as carrying all those mushrooms!

Oh, no. Honmund picks them. And Lothran keeps tab on it for funzies
