She's not a wicked witch though, she's a good witch.

Did Lothran pay a visit to Morcant's neighbors across the waterfall?

The vamps? No, not this time. He prefers fighting them in sunlight


Also; Lothran is now at the Newlands Lodge.

Yesterday Lothran cleared out Fort Farragut. Perhaps not completely, but close enough. He also snatched himself ten (10) Poisoned Apples on his way out.

Today was spent visiting the castle and looking for Borba who seems to have gone missing again

What you mean? It always dark in cave.

Lure them outside of the cave. In the base game, if it's sunny outside, they'll take some damage just by being outside. This damage is very slow, but it is there. Not sure how mirocu does it, but I've got Maskar's Sun Damage option toggled on in my game. They'll last maybe a minute or two in full sunlight.

Some caveats: start the delve early, like just as the sun's coming up. ☀ Don't start a vampire attack at night, or just before the sun's going down; there won't be any advantage to luring them outside. Also, rainy/overcast days, sun damage slows down.

As is Lothran's normal procedure he runs in, casts an AoE spell to get their attention and then runs outside where he summons his Spriggan who summons her bear and when the vamps come outside the fun begins


Sidenote: Borba has been found! Lothran left Newland's Lodge and walked around town and when he came back to the inn, there she was!

I just kill them all in the cave and so have never thought to do that. How does this work? You just run in and agro them one at a time then run back out, or what?

One or however many are affected by Lothran's spell and yes; then just run outside where the sun is

Hey, I answered too!

You can kill vamps in their home, sure. Just takes longer. With one of the mods I've got (Vampire Hunting), this is not recommended, however. They are exponentially stronger if they're in darkness, as they should be. Joan of Arkay can deal with them since she's adept at ridding undead. 🧟 But she's still better off luring them outside. Less weapon/armor damage, for one thing.

Borba sometimes disappears in my game too, even on Xbox. I like Lothran's method of eradicating undead; he summons a Spriggan, who summons a bear! Lothran probably then gets the money shot just as the vamp is losing steam.

I've been too busy this month and it's been sunny everyday, haven't been playing Oblivion (or Morrowind) much. Looking forward to a slower pace in November.

Sometimes though mostly he just keeps summoning the Spriggan until all vamps are goners. He's gotten a bit lazy...

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

Roxey Inn, night/very early morning


On his way to the Imperial City, Lothran always stops by this inn to rest a bit. It's now once again time for winter preparations and the Big City is perfect for that. There may be a new enchantment in the works but probably no new spells as we have not seen the need for it this year either.

Atatar.

Kidding. Sun's Dusk 22, 4th Era Year 1, I have returned successfully to Joan of Arkay's game. According to my notes, she's supposed to be somewhere in the Imperial City...

She is in King & Queen Tavern, hasn't slept yet. Pretty sure all buying & selling is done. Head back to Battlehorn, which is mostly pimped by now!

But the most recent save I can find is from Atatar. And I think I know why. Didn't back up her saves for a while last summer, and then that hard drive crashed.

Anyway, she'll be headed north. She's got enough money now to totally pimp Battlehorrn Castle (except the Trophy Room, because yicch). 🏯

That's rough. Hope you didn't lose too much progress


------------------
As for Lothie he's roaming the Imperial City, as is his routine this time of year.

Nah, wasn't that bad. We're talking about the journey from Atatar (near Drunken Dragon Inn) to Imperial City. That's it. Could've been way worse had I not been in the constant habit of backing up saves.

Anyway, Joan's about to head to the Imperial City in a couple days, so she'll probably pass right by your platinum-haired elf. Right now she's in Pell's Gate (friend). About to take care of the outlaws across the road.

Joan of Arkay and Lothran meeting up in the Imperial City!

Maybe she can rile up that third bandit who wouldn't come up from the sewers in the Market District. Lothran got two of them up to fight with the Watch and random people but the last one, a High Elf by the voice of him, just thought he should cut down on the ale

Just go down there and destroy him.

Can't. He's on the other side of a wall

TCL?

Wow, he won't come out of the sewers! I'd let him live but this depends which character I'm with.

Joan made it to the I.C. She got some sleep in King & Queen Tavern and bought/sold/gotstuffrepaired the next day. She needed new boots and chestplate, prefers Heavy Armor, so she went to Varnrado of the Best Defense. Next she bought a couple potions at Gilded Carafe. Went to Jensine's and Three Brothers to sell a bunch of loot: rings, jewels, coins, trinkets, etc.

Last I saw she was headed to that elf in the Merchant's Inn, the guy who sells upgrades for Battlehorn Castle. She's bought everything from the guy (Library, Armory, etc.) except the Trophy Room. Anyway that's where she's headed next! Can't wait to see what her BIG home looks like now. 🏰

Nah. I want to do it legit


Wanna see pics of that abode. From the outside as well
