Lothran has just cleared out the bandit camp out east and also Plundered Mine in his usual way. Found a gold nugget!


Also; yesterday I made save number 30.000!

After some time in the Jeralls and a clearout of Capstone Cave, Lothran is now back in Bruma and at Jerall View. It's late afternoon and after a stop at home it's once again time for an evening at Olav's Tap and Tack

It's tradition, after all.

I swear; Lothran coming back to Bruma and the Jeralls... It's like he never left

Wait.... wait... where are my glasses? Mm... Otheran .... stacked ... Pruma.... Oolavs..... Hmm, where are my glasses???

Tonight was the last night at Olav's Tap and Tack and tomorrow Lothran will head out for Serpent's Trail. It's time for the Annual Christmas Ogre Hunt!

Lothran is now at the top of Fort Pale Pass and the tent is up at its usual place, safe from any potential intruder. The road to the fort offered some resistance but not a lot. It's high noon and tomorrow the Pale Pass Ogre Caveboss Hunt™ will begin.


Lock and load!

I'll be waiting for the teeth count this year. . . .

After a first sweep through the snowy valley the preliminary result is 14, including Serpent's Trail. But that number will rise tomorrow when Lothran continues to cover more ground.


Gamer's note: I really love coming back to Pale Pass each Christmas!


Edit: Final count is 17. Much like always

Lothran made a full sweep of the area today searching for any potential straggler. None was to be found so he returned to the camp on top of Fort Pale Pass.

17 teeth! That beats the Crow's normal semla count.

Poor ogres. Seems not long ago I was lamenting their once-ago downfall. Are there ever any non-hostile ogres, btw?

Fredas, Last Seed 8, 4th Era Year 22 Renee Gade III heads from Chorrol to Ninendava, where she needs to collect as many Welkynd stones as she can, before heading to Minlorada. She needs 40 stones for this one altar to activate. Fun for RG3, but tedious for me.

Oh, and

Aren't there some friendly ogres you help at at Lord Drad's estate?

Gosh, it's been so long. Are they friendly? Probably so, since they're enslaved.

Renee Gade III continues up the hill to Ninendava. She and her two companions are about to pass Sancre Tor. Occasional brawls occur with bandits, smugglers, marauders, undead; The adventure is epic on this Xmas day!

To answer your questions; yes, the Lord Drad ogres are friendly to the player and yes; Lothran has once met a friendly ogre in Pale Pass. It was a few years ago and it has only happened once. But who knows; if Lothran didn't always get their attention by sniping maybe he would have met more non-hostile ones through the years?


Also; action at Sancre Tor! Have fun with the inhabitants!

You definitely have some weird thing going on with occasionally "enemies" which are non-hostile. Which isn't due to some mod, since your game is pretty light with modifications.



Oh, she went to Ninendava. Trying to collect Welkynd stones (while smiting blooduckers!) but there weren't any Welkynds in there at all. There are a couple ruins south of Chorrol: Wendir is one of them. She'll search both of those.

I've played for so long my game partially has a life of its own now. Maybe some NPCs have gotten sentient


Welkynd stones are pretty common so finding none in a ruin is a bit unusual, right? Varla stones however - pffh. Can't be many of those out there.

Welkynd stones don't respawn, so if you start doing something that needs them after you've been playing a long time, it can be a pain to find more.

ghast: That's fine. I rarely pick up Welkynds so there's plenty around. Just gotta hit the right ruin. The ones RG3 takes won't be missed.

crow: That's actually a GOOD thing that some enemies are changing their mind. Surprises like these are always welcome in my book (probably yours too).

Yep, Renee

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

Lothran is now back in Bruma, resting in his house. I think next time it's time to conduct business and visit the inns.
