Yes, so I just couldn't resist and had to get this off my chest. We'll see how long it lasts. Same deal as with redemption, I'll be using this post as a character list and the first part will be in the next one. For now the list is simple.

A question. Should I add a separate entry for Spar at the very bottom that is basically the extra-spoilers edition?

Spar: A female Imperial and the main character of this story. Is guided by 'Them'.
(Portrait)

Silent Fist: A Companion Spar hires to escort her into Bleak Falls Barrow. He doesn't speak, wear shirts or use weapons. Click here for portrait

Faendal: A wood elf who lives in a small village known as Riverwood. He works as a hunter and lumberjack.

Lucan Valerius: The shopkeeper of Riverwood.

Jarl Balgruuf: The Jarl of Whiterun, a city located in the center of Skyrim between the fronts of the Imperial and Stormcloak factions.

Hrongar: Jarl Balgruuf's brother. Looks like he walked off the set of a Conan-film.

Irileth: A Dunmer who serves as Jarl Balgruuf's bodyguard.

Proventus Avenicci: Jarl Balgruuf's steward.


Vilkas: One of the Companions, a mercenary group in Whiterun
Vignar Grey-Mane: Formerly of the Companions, now retired.

Ulfric Stormcloak: The rebel leader in Skyrim, once on of the Emperor's generals.

Arkarik:
Someone Spar was supposed to meet in Cyrodiil.

Right Jacky-boy...Firstly, a massive apology...A thousand of them...

But anyways, this story is so cool...So well done I shall applaud you right now at the start and then get on with it...*Applauds heartily*...

I've thoroughly enjoyed going through these episodes that I missed...*Facepalm and headshake*...So sorry...

1.6...Absolutely love the character development with Hrongar and Proventius...I love the way you fleshed them out...Espescially Proventius' helping with the planning...

I also thought the idea of Dagny the Jarsdotter being a proper Daddy's Girl was funny...And no, not because I have one myself...No I don't... tongue.gif ...

1.7...The Companions...Vilkas having Spar negotiate in Skyrimese was cool, as was her keeping slipping Cyrodiilic into the conversation to see if he'd react...Nicely done...

I loved it when Vilkas finally had a go at Vignar...Excellent rant...I loved the list of minor jobs that they'd been doing...Nice reference to the sort you get after completing the questline and go back for further jobs...Like that!...

I loved the way you portrayed the Companions in this...It's been a while since I played it, so that's my excuse for how long it took me to "get" the wolves thing...Duh... laugh.gif ...You making Vignar's having been holding them back due to the war that's been part of the descent into ruin was an excellent idea...

1.8...Brilliant shopping trip!!...I liked each stop...Belethor always cracks me up!...And the smith's voice always does it for me...Ahhhh, Ivanova... wub.gif ... biggrin.gif ...

Having bought the Skyrim Game Guide™ at the same time as the game, (midnight opening donchaknow wink.gif ) I don't know how many times I said "This is wrong..." as I was using it...I guess Quality Control™ wasn't really an issue with it...Umm...The point Robert?...Oh!...Yes, I loved Spar's suspicions of the map being so accurate...That was another cool touch...

1.9...I don't think that a post containing both of these parts would necessarily be too long...But, that they're so different I can see the sense in separating them...

Aaaamywho...I loved the description of the climb...And that "someone of her stature" would have difficutly...Espescially in the furs!...Loved the way you thought of things like outcrops they'd have to go around...Nicely done that...

At the top...The description of the dragon noise was excellent...Just brilliant!...I could definately imagine it...I think one failing of the game is that eventually, you the awe of the dragons wanes a lot...To the point where you wind up Fast Traveling from peak to peak, Dragon-Farming™...Or is that just me and my Khajiit tank?... biggrin.gif ...

Silent Fist!!...Epic companion name!!...Is that Torvar or someone else?...Loved the reference to the fact that they wear stupid bare chested armour no matter where they are...

All in all matey, absolutely brilliant story, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the catch-up...And also, well done for carrying on with it...You know what I mean... wink.gif ...

Brilliant Jack!!...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...
