+1. The reality of my character's existence starts to become too gamey if everything can be accomplished. I very rarely use TCL. I had to use it in Morrowind the other day, only because a door got stuck. An ash zombie spawned in Balmora's Guild of Fighters, and was holding the shut from the other side, so Joan couldn't get into the room to pwn it. And that situation, she had to get into that room, bc she really needed sleep. And the "You cannot sleep because enemies are nearby" message prevented this.

Emergency situation, in other words. My characters need sleep!



Absolutely, I shall post plenty. Did Lothran go into any of those places: King & Queen, Mystic Emporium, The Best Defense, Jensine's, Three Brothers, Merchant's Inn, or Claudette's alchemy shop?

A collective yes to that. Plus some other places as well. Don't know yet if he's gonna go gambling at the arena though.

Maybe a spell that has a huge AOE?

Wouldn't work since he's behind a wall and remember, this is in a sewer room in the Market District. It has a door but it's closed and can only be opened from the other side.

Ne'er mind. Lothran got a another Redguard to teleport up from the sewers but the High Elf is still down there, complaining about rats and cutting down on the ale

Well, looks like that bandit gets to live another day.

Tordas, mid-afternoon, Sun's Dusk 28: Merchant's Inn.

------------
Lothran has as usual this time of year spent some time at the Marie Elena. It's a galleon, I think...

Come this Sunday he'll head out to Aleswell and the weekend after that.... Well, I think you know where he'll go..

Bruma? It’s Bruma isn’t it?!

Pretty sure it's Bruma. Dunno, exactly. It's been a really long time since the platinum-haired elf has made this trek.

Yeah, almost like it's been a year...


Also; Tiber Septim Hotel, Talos Plaza, Imperial City

Slight turn of event; Lothran is already in Aleswell and will be heading for Bruma tomorrow. Masser and Secunda are in position and stars are aligned; it's time

That means winter is almost here!

Well, it IS here and Lothran is now sitting in his cold, dark house as the fireplace hasn't been lit yet.


The roads up to Bruma from Aleswell were very uneventful other than one Minotaur Lord and one bandit. This btw is the first time ever Lothran has walked up to Bruma in the middle of the night, or very early morning as in 1:00AM. He usually does it when the sun is up around 7:30AM but it's just now doing so, barely.


Next time the fireplace will be lit and Lothran can begin placing things where they should be and then hit the town

I'm sure the guard force will be glad to have him back in the rotation.

Oh my, is he infected by vampirism?



Welcome home, Lothran! I bet there's lots of dust in his cottage.

Bruma! Knew it! Well, TheChershireKhajiit knew it first. But I had a strong suspicion that's where he was ultimately headed.



As for Joan of Arkay, it is Loredas, Sun's Dusk 30, 4th Era Year 1, late afternoon. She just arrived to Battlehorn Castle, her home and wish it were mine!

Her game has 313 hours on it, and I rolled her in 2013, so that's 313 hours on an 11 year-old game. She is Level 16. She's pretty much done with the Ayelid statue quests (finally!) and needs something else to do. I can't just game randomly with her like I can with Saga or Snaaty, she needs actual stuff to do.

I'm sure they will be. Always good with some reinforcements


Nope, but he's slain 15 of them this year


Thanks! And yes


I knew you knew


Awesome! Sounds like she just came home as well then

Picely-pics?

I'll put them in the screenshot thread. Last night when I tried to upload them there was a problem. Think I should try converting them to JPEGs.

Right now Joan is in Lost Black Rock Chasm (has anyone else ever gone in here? There's a pirate ship underground. 🏴‍☠️). She just took care of the leading ghost pirate.

It's the day before Thanksgiving and some people coming over in a few. Until then, I'm hiding in my room!

It's a Joan of Arkay double-header in Casa Renee! Played for an hour with Joan in Morrowind, now I'm with her eight-year-older version in Cyrodiil.

Tirdas, Evening Star 10: She's just outside of Barren Cave, the vampire lair on the way to Cheydinhal. Time to lure out some bloodsuckers.

Good! She can pick up Lothran's slack!

Ha ha yeah, Joan can do a few things Lothran and Hamfat miss!

But it's December now and I switch between characters, start of each month. It is Loredas, Sun's Height 19, 4th Era Year 22 in Renee Gade III's world. She begins her adventure where I left off months ago: Chapel of Stendarr in Chorrol. She's got a mod-added quest which is supposed send her to Elenglynn.

These are the notes I left last time I was with her.

Elenglynn has been explored, except for underwater parts. But I don't think the Secret of Minlorada has anything to do with the water. Honestly we are stumped. We're supposed to talk to someone, who the fck is it?

Ha ha a bit confusing.
