Funny thing; when Lothran entered the Tiber Septim hotel yesterday, he was met by a doe. Yes; a doe. A deer. A female deer

I know this can happen with random monsters and NPCs and this is the first time in our 18 years it actually happens. Thankfully it wasn't an ogre

The venison is extra fresh at the Tiber Septim Hotel!

Can't be more fresh than that!

Lothran still uses the shack? What's inside it after 17-18 years?

Joan of Arkay rests in Battlehorn Castle, and whoa, she's gained a level. She is now Level 18. She gains the following.

Strength: +2 (50 overall)
Willpower: +2 (90 overall, she's a crusader after all)
Speed: +2 (44 overall)

Joan's a very slow character, this is true in MW too. It's because she's Heavy Armored tank, who is more about being deliberate and methodical than quick on her feet.

Pretty much the same as maybe 15 years ago. Nothing much has changed since then honestly. He's got some nick-nacks laying around and the drawers full of stuff; the only thing that changes sometimes btw when he adds something to the collection.


Congrats! Do you have some recent picks of that castle?

I probably do have some pictures of Battlehorn Castle. Mainly her bedroom is decorated: keys on a desk, a treasure trove next to her fireplace, carefully-placed items here and there. Yeah let me check.

She is now in Chorrol and since it's Sundas, this means she's sitting in chapel. 💒 And sitting in chapel. I'm serious. That's what she's doing today, sitting in chapel because it's Sundas. That'll be my entire roleplay with her for the day.

Thankfully Chorrol's chapel attracts a lot of people so there's plenty of silly conversations to listen to!

EDIT: A-bomb struck Joan's game! Pretty sure it's the first time too. 336 hours is when it struck.

Tirdas, Morning Star 7: Joan of Arkay returns to Roland Jenseric and gets paid for smiting the vampires of Fort Carmala.

Her next assignment is try to put a dent in the vampire populations near Skingrad, and this is a 3-fold task. One set of vamps is in an Ayleid ruins, the other set in a fort, the third in the cave just east of Skingrad. I can't remember their names but Joan knows and has been to each of the three locations in the past. Look out, bloodusuckers!

This'll probably be the last Joan update until the summer. In April I switch to RG3.

So glad there's a fix for that. Also, nice bit of roleplaying there. I like it


Lothran only does the cave. Good to know the other places are taken care of as well

Joan the Vampire Slayer! Like mirocu said, glad you can fix that pesky A-bomb.

Today Lothran went outside the Big City and had some fun with the marauders at Fort Alessia. Also, he ran into a legionnaire who apparently had a grudge with a Forester (not the car) and the latter didn't make it. However, Lothran didn't know he had been killed by his patrolling counterpart so he resurrected him whereupon they immediately continued fighting!


Don't know how it turned out; Lothran left the two bozos and went back to the fort

PhonAntiPhon: In the Imperial City. 727 hours

Kidding. Renee Gade III is also in the Big City. Just rented a room in All Saints Inn. She's on a quest to find Welkynd stones, she needs 8 more for this quest she's doing.

Yea you'd better not be seeing Subarus in your game. Have to come to Scandinavia and smack ya. No more resurrecting Foresters.

Nice stuff. Lothran could never finish that fetch quest so he now keeps anyone he comes across.


Is ms Gade the Third big on spells btw?


I chuckled

Not huge. She can heal herself and Convalescence NPCs. She's got a shield spell but it's not the best. Fortify Fatigue, Absorb Fatigue (based on the Xena TV show, Xena could do this "pinch" thing to enemies which made them fall). She can Charm. Dispel.

Couple other spells but they're rarely used. What's more important are her items. Her game's been going since 2014 so she's found lots of magical items over the years.

-- A ring which lights 10 feet and a dress which lights 60. She only wears the dress in towns at night though.
-- A cowl of Nighteye (great for dungeons, of course).
-- An amulet which absorbs Magic
-- Ring of Sunfire.
-- Ring of Shielding 20%
-- Pair of gauntlets which Detect Life 75 feet or so.
-- Helmet of Waterbreathing (rarely used). Boots of Riverwalking (rarely used).

-- And a bunch of swords, magical or mundane!

Looks like a good collection of magical trinkets


------------------------------
Lothran is still in the Imperial City, roaming the streets and talking to people. Come this weekend he'll once again head out to Skingrad and the beauty that is the West Weald.


And yes; that deer is still in the Tiber Septim hotel. Neither the hostess nor the other patrons are even mentioning her though so I guess it's not as weird or unusual as I thought it was

Shadeleaf Copse, midday

As Lothran entered the Two Sister's Inn he was surprised to see S'rathad standing there!

Anyway; Easter is fast approaching and Lothran will soon head out into the deep wild and once again locate the hidden house.

Fort Empire, about halfpast noon.

Lothran is now lost in the wilderness surrounding the Isolated House. An area where south is north and west is east.

It's also an area where one of the waterfalls go in the wrong direction. Three ponds are connected via waterfalls, and where the second and largest one connects to the third downstream, the flow actually goes backwards in the sort of middle section before the actual fall to the third pond.

I blame the rogue Conjurers at Fort Black Boot

Whatt?? Waterfalls go in the wrong direction?

Loredas, early evening, Heartfire 6, 4th Era Year 22 -- Renee Gade III is in Aleswell, spending the night. Tomorrow she'll head to Weye. I'm doing some mod testing for Guards Of Cyrodiil Redux, and there's supposed to be a fort RG3 can visit from this mod.

Yeah, go have a look when you have a character in that area. You know where these ponds and waterfalls are?

It's not the actual fall that goes in the wrong direction, but the stream of water between the second pond and the fall to the third pond.


I remember Decrepit having a mansion in Weye. Nice place
