Old Habits Die Hard Part Six, some old habits never die Options

[haute ecole rider]

Hello all, and welcome to the final thread of Old Habits Die Hard. Those of you who are familiar with the Main Quest know that we are fast approaching the end game. Only three more artifacts to obtain, then we can recover the Amulet of Kings and light those Dragonfires and see Martin to the Dragon Throne at last. Right?

For those who are coming late to the party, here are the links to the other five threads:

Chapters 1 − 7: From the Prison to finding the Path of Dawn.
Chapters 8 − 13: From Dagon’s Shrine to Bravil.
Chapters 14 − 18: From Sheogorath’s Shrine to the start of the Grand Tour of Cyrodiil.
Chapters 19 − 22: From Leyawiin to Skingrad.
Chapters 23 − 25: From returning home to Anvil to the final Mages Guild recommendation.

Here in this last thread we will see the Main Quest through to its tragic conclusion. Some questions will be answered, including who is the man Julian loves? Other questions will be raised, including what’s next for Julian? Those of you who have suspected a second story in the making, you are correct.

After a year and a half of writing this story, I am happy to bring this to a close, yet I am sad to bid it adieu. Hopefully I won’t let any and all of you down as we wrap up.

Eh, catching up wasn't too difficult. Enjoyable, really, once I got the chance for a good read-through.

And now we see one of the deadliest swordsmen ever to walk out of the Alik'r Desert. I'm impressed how well you make the old pile of bones move like a warrior three-hundred years younger than he. I wonder if either Fortis or Jauffre are familiar with the style?

Semi-Nit:

And I'll use Daedra Slayer.

I don't know whether this is part of the internal dialogue that Julian is running through prior to engaging Blade Tertius. If not, then it's fine. If it is supposed to be inner thoughts to oneself, then you might want to try it reversed, as such:

And I’ll use Daedra Slayer. I don’t know what kind of charm is on that dai-katana.

Honestly, I have a difficult enough time myself converting to the forum's tags from my word processor. Doesn't help that I don't have a program which uses the same formatting nature of the forum for me to type my drafts in. *grumbles...*
