New Things, post something you've never seen before in Skyrim. Options

[Vital]

Grumpy old man passing Warmaidens: “What is she doing, looking for rubies in rubbish? Get a job!” (Neph was checking to see if the barrels and therefore her garden had respawned. )

Haming on witnessing Jensa start a campfire: “I wish I could play with fire like that!”

Salonia Carvain (the woman who has come to Skyrim with her husband for Vittoria Vici’s wedding) walking past on the road: “When we get back to Cyrodiil I swear I will hire an army of battlemages to come up here and set fire to the whole damned province.”

I've never heard any of those Thanks for sharing!

How did you start a campfire?

[Grits]

Flames spell plus Frostfall lets you light existing campfires or ones that you build from firewood. You can also use a torch to start them with Frostfall. Jensa and Stenvar were walking Haming and Froki to their new house in Helgen (Helgen Reborn) and got very cold on the way through Haemar's Shame. Jensa normally would have used a torch but she was showing off a little for the kid, so the comment was extra appropriate!

Genevieve was doing the Potema catacombs crawl with Mjoll, and there's a small room just before the boss encounter that's full of draugr and other dead bodies. The entire floor of the room is just covered in corpses. Some of them are resurrected by Potema to slow you down.

After we've sorted them out Mjoll turns to Gen and says "There could be Draugr about, I can smell the decay in the air." She hasn't said that all the way through the dungeon, but now we're knee-deep in them, she notices.

We can build a campfire from firewood?

Mycharonna (like most traditional vampires) sleeps during the day. She did so at Robber's Gorge recently: this is the bandit campsite somewhat south of Dragon Bridge where they've got a boulder trap over the road. Anyways, she went to sleep in the bed which is located in the Ringleader's cabin.

When she woke up, everything seemed normal, but after strolling out of the cabin itself, an Imperial soldier comes bolting from behind my vamp. He was running so fast, it was comical. Never seen anything like that before. It's as if he had gotten separated from the rest of his group after getting curious about Robber's Gorge. Either he found Mycharonna sleeping (assuming she's dead like the rest of RG's former inhabitants) or he missed her; either way, he must have been surprised to find he was not alone.

Sorry, I’m just now seeing this. You can with Frostfall, an awesome mod.

How funny that Mycharonna was surprised by a fleeing soldier. I imagine he was a LOT more startled than she was!

Persephone just visited the Kjenstag Ruins for the first time. I was surprised to see a ghost come running out. Naturally Persephone was intrigued by another creature of the night, so she followed him across the swamp. He led her to a little tomb that two bandits had opened up. Persephone tried to talk to him, but she was shy, and just disappeared. The bandits were more lively though. At least for a little while...

[SubRosa]

I had another new thing tonight. Whilst Persephone and Serana were walking near Windward Ruins I noticed figures running in the distance. Closing in, I found it was two vampires chasing a third person, with the skeevers from the ruins joining in for shits and giggles. After smiting the vampires, the third person kept running, skeevers in hot pursuit! So after killing them too, he finally settled down.

It turns out he was a Dawnguard member! Novice Hakar or something like that. He said he couldn't take being in the Dawnguard, and dumped his armor and some other things. Among them was a key for a Dawnguard Cache. I found some of the caches before when playing Helregin, but never when playing a member of the Dawnguard. So I will be on the lookout for them now.

He said he could take being in the Dawnguard,

Do you mean 'couldn't'? .. He said he couldn't take being in the Dawnguard? Wow. And then he just throws down his gear, just like that. Neat.

[SubRosa]

OOps, you are right, he said couldn't. Good catch Renee!

It's pretty rare I call the nit police.

Not really a "new thing" but those Khajiit caravans move FAST when they are going between the cities. In an hour Kharjo's caravan went from Dawnstar to Shor's Stone!

You're not kidding. Buffy met Kharjo at Riften. Then she fast traveled to the Lord stone and hiked to Dawnstar - to be met by Kharjo's caravan!

[SubRosa]

All that skooma makes them move quick!

Serana, inside the Temple of Mara: This place makes me a little uneasy.

[King Coin]

She doesn't like any of the temples if I recall correctly.

[SubRosa]

Neither does Persephone. She never goes inside temples. So I guess I won't be hearing that line.

You're new to this game, Don't you just love those caravans, Acadian?

[Acadian]

Oh, Renee, I sure do. The KittyKaravaners are so cool - and relaxing to listen to and hang out with.

I simply adore the big tent they set up - I'm clearly gonna neeeed one of those to travel with (tent, not Khajiit).

Valdi was visiting Gjukar’s Monument. Just as she approached the ghostly Ruki they were attacked by vampires. (Valdi tends to push her luck and stay out long after dark.) Though it was pitch black it was easy to see what Ruki was doing because she glows. She charged into battle wielding an iron sword! I have to guess that she picked up the one on the monument. Then afterward the only way Valdi knew it was over was when Ruki said in her trembley ghost voice, “Such an abrupt end to our game.” I guess she’s a true Nord!

I’ve been there before when a dragon attacked during the conversation, but Ruki never tried to fight back!
