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. This post has been edited by haute ecole rider: Jun 26 2011, 01:10 AM -------------------- |

QUOTE(haute ecole rider @ Aug 1 2011, 07:13 PM)  I am eternally grateful to Destri for letting me borrow his memorable characters Alain and Valdemar, Casnar, and Rielus for this story. Nope, sorry . . . just can't let this one go. As far as I'm concerned they are your characters just as much as they are 'mine.' QUOTE As I have the de-briefing scene already written out, it's more like Julian takes the initiative and Steffan just goes along with it.  Course, you'd have to wait until LBMQ to see it . . .  To quote mALX: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!! It seems like you covered everything in this chapter. There was sword-play for all of us stunted adolescents, and there was a hot bath and conditioner for the grown-ups!  All that was missing was a hearty meal for Acadian, but I guess you can't have everything.I don't think I have ever spoken to Jena in the game. Is she really from Rihad or was that something that you decided? This post has been edited by Destri Melarg: Aug 3 2011, 05:11 AM -------------------- |
