Middas, Sun's Dusk 27, mid-day - Lady Saga is headed to the Imperial City, but as usual is taking a non-direct way to get there. As usual, she's got a generic Forest Legionnaire traveling with her. These guys are great because not only are the adept at living outdoors, there's little worry (on my end) if they survive or not.

Whoa, Silorn! She's been here before, but doesn't remember what's inside. She calls her horse and tells the guard to watch over the hooved beast. Time to do a little exploring... Whoops, nope, place is locked. Can't go inside. But Bloodcrust Cavern is also somewhere nearby. Anyone up for some vampire hunting?

Of course! But not until Easter, I'm afraid. Lothran is stationed in Bruma for yet another month and then it's time for Chorrol. As in the town, not the forums

Well Lady Saga vanquished Bloodcrust Cavern a little too easily, it seems. Yes she was using a crossbow with silver bolts, making stealth killz and summoning creatures if her archery didn't instapwn the vampires.

But still.... vampires are way harder if Joan or RG3 takes them on. Most vampires need to be lured into sunlight in their games. My elf/stealth archer did some buying/selling in Skingrad and now has the desire to go straight east. There's some Ayleid ruins that way and so on. She's always enjoying the hunt & exploration.

Today is my daughter's birthday. But also a snow day. We've been getting a lot of snow in Maryland this winter.

Lothran has just completed yet another patrol westward and like last time there was a Xivilai waiting at the turnback point (past the Hermaeus Mora's shrine). Now he's back in his cozy house in Bruma, it's evening, and the inns are waiting for him

Have Lothran say hi to Olav!

Not for long though; I didn't realize this but this Sunday is actually the day when Lothran will be leaving Bruma and the Jeralls!


Oh, how a whole winter season flies by just like that

You said it, blackbird.

I've been quiet these past couple weeks and it's because it's been mostly sunny in my parts. Supposed to be cloudy/rainy tomorrow finally; hope to return to Lady Saga perhaps. Last I saw she was invading the suckers of Fort Vlastrus.

Have fun!

----------------------
Lothran has now left Bruma for the season and was last seen, by a patrolling legionnaire, just connecting to the Orange Road going to Chorrol. The perpetual snowing of the last three months has suddenly stopped and been replaced by clear skies and sunshine.


Spring has arrived to Cyrodiil!

Happy travels as we mark our seasons by them.

IF you don't know what time of year it is, just come to this thread


--------------------------------------
Lothran has just arrived in Chorrol and is currently resting under The Great Oak. This year he will have much more time in Chorrol county than last year on account Easter comes later in 2025 than in 2024 when he barely even set foot in town before he had to leave for Skingrad.

Morndas, Evening Star 16, mid-morning, 4th Era Year 1: I return to Joan of Arkay, who is headed to Barren Cave to rid the vampires there.

And congrats on getting out of Bruma alive once again. One of these days all the goblins and Pale Pass ogres are going to band together, and find the platinum-haired elf who keeps decimating their populations. That'll be a crazy story to tell. Huzzah!

Thankfully he has a crowd control spell that doesn't care how many there are, only that they are within range...


---------------------------
Edit:

Lothran is currently roaming the beautiful countryside of county Chorrol. He just revisited Black Rock Caverns and fought some spectral pirates. Funnily enough, as their ghostly presence was dispatched, Lothran found he could take their equipment which instantly turned solid from their ethereal form! He also found a regular female Khajiit bandit who behaved and talked like a Highwayman. He paid her the 100 gold and then proceeded to smoothtalk her up to 98 in disposition, so now he has a new best friend!

Edit 2:

So yeah, Lothran has been here before but for some reason he spared them then. But now, just like the ghosts deep down fort Pale Pass, they have been put to rest.

Edit 3:

Camp Ales. This is as far south Lothran will go for now. Next up: Valley View Camp.

I'd imagine 100 gold is nothing to Lothran, right? That female kitty should've hit him up for more!

Shortie update today. It's Evening Star 22 and Joan of Arkay is in Cheydinhal. And it's SNOWING!

Lothran's making the rounds I see.

And snow on Joan! Late spring I guess.

He's not as rich as he used to be but yeah, 100 gold is peanuts. And since she was a bandit and not a Highwayman proper, Lothran could sweet talk up her disposition instead of bribing her


Same here yesterday. Lothran's in Chorrol and -8 Celsius and snow

Yesterday was funny, a fight broke out between the woman and the man who have dogs in Chorrol. Lothran had gone inside their house where she stood right at the door. Then her husband came down whereupon she immediately attacked him and he fought back. Then he tried to escape but the door was locked so he couldn't. Lothran was kind enough to let him out via his spell so he ran outside and she followed.
Outside the guards interfered and killed him and she walked away. Lothran used his ultra-special powers and resurrected him, only for him to be killed yet again!

This time Lothran waited until the wife had gone inside the house before bringing him back to life, and he just casually walked back to the house as well. No idea what happened after that.


Only in Oblivion!

This could be quite fun to put a crown over both their heads. Then if they get into another fight, it could be a very, very, very long one?

I'm afraid that could result in the biggest mass fight ever, involving the whole of Cyrodiil!

That's hilarious. Probably you don't want to head inside their house, that's true. It's what the police call 'domestic disturbance' in my country.


Loredas, Evening Star 28, weather is cool but fair, and Joan of Arkay is headed to Chorrol, Battlehorn Castle, Hackdirt and finally Fort Carmala. Being a mistress of Arkay, we all know why she's going to Carmala. But it'll be nice to go home to her castle, as well.

UPDATE: Tirdas, Evening Star 31, wow, what a crazy gaming session. Joan got to Carmala the day before (Morndas) and decided to rent a room at Moslin Inn. She does so, then immediately afterward the innkeeper begins attacking her! She didn't want to fight the guy, so she rushes out the inn. But then outside the Brethren (all those creepy shirtless guys) began showing up!

She fought these idiots initially, but had to flee. Because by then it was like 10 to 1, including Moslin. Her guard was nowhere to be seen, not that he could've done much to help. She got on her horse and galloped all the way to Chorrol!

But today, Tirdas, things improved. She's killed all the vampires of Fort Carmala. Just as she's ready to do a final sweep through the fort, collecting loot, etc. her Chorrol Archer guard comes running up. "Can I assist you, ma'am?"

I'd suggest Ms Joan to invest in a heavy crowd control spell. That way it doesn't matter how many there are against her

---------------------------
Lothran has now returned to his shack at the Imperial City Waterfront. It was a nice few weeks in Chorrol and the county but now it's time for a change of attire and to conduct some business in the Big City before once again heading out to Skingrad.
