How funny about that dumb ogre!

That was indeed funny, and very surprising! I guess the ogre associated the threat with the bow rather than Lothran who wielded the bow

------------------

It now seems all ogres have been slain. Lothran just conducted a complete swep of the area and no more could be found. However, as he will stay in Pale Pass for a few more days he will have to keep an eye out. More could come and look for their lost brethren...

[mirocu]

Last day in Pale Pass for 2020. No more ogres could be found and so the hunt is officially over. Tomorrow morning Lothran will pack up his gear and head back to Bruma and Olav's Tap and Tack to share his adventure.



Pale Pass Ogre Caveboss teeth count: 17

And another tradition maintained as Lothie heads back to Bruma with a sack full of ogre teeth.

[mirocu]

Yup!


-------------------------

Lothran is now on a tour of the Jerall Mountains. He first cleared out Plundered Mine and then it was time for Silver Tooth Cave which, as its name suggests, contained quite a bit of silver. Now Lothran has spent a night in his tent over at Azura's shrine having first taken care of hostiles nearby.
It is now time to take it all back to Capstone Cave and after that to the point past Hermaeus Mora's shrine where various daedra often resides. Gotta clear the roads!

[Renee]

Capstone Cave. Is that the cave near Applewatch? *goes in UESP* Yes. Yes it is. So that means my Lady Saga and your Lothran have just passed paths. Maybe seen each other across a crowded Jerall View Inn. Maybe bumped into each other as Lothran got nudged by a drunken Snar the Cook.

But yeah, she was just in Capstone Cave. She had a follower guy who (in non-roleplay terms) had some sort of glitch. This man kept following her everywhere, even if she told him to wait. In RP terms, I guess he was obsessed with her. But she needed some space. So she brought him into Capstone Cave, got a few shots at the bandits in there, and when her follower got in over his head with fighting, she merely went invisible and waited until the place was hers again. Passive-aggressive Lady Saga, Archer from Valenwood.

Ahem, but it's good to finally get to see Lothran on occasion.

[mirocu]

And good to see Lady Saga taking care of business in Capstone Cave because as it happens; Lothran doesn't have time right now. As New Year approaches, he has taken up a shift guarding the north gate in Bruma as usual and he shall be occupied with that for a week or so.

[mirocu]

Lothran is continuing his guard shift into the new year. Some breaks in the barracks are taken when needed and then it's out again for another patrol and posting assignment. He usually takes the morning posting by the brazier at Hammer and Tongs and midday by the one outside Novaroma. And as always the night posting is by the north gate.


Gotta earn those Septims!

[Acadian]

Oh yes, I recall the N gate of Bruma belongs to Lothran during the winter.

[mirocu]

Lothran trekked through Rielle's first section yesterday and actually found a Frost weapon he didn't have before; an elven Claymore of Freezing. Repaired and recharged it now sits with the rest of the collection.

[Renee]

Yes, I know of claymores which boast Frost Damage, my Renee Gade III character has one. But elven claymores with that effect are definitely rare.

Speaking of, RG3 is in Chorrol lately, performing several county-sponsored raids on various locations nearby. Has Lothran ever been in Black Rock Caverns? I had no idea that there's a hidden third section section to this cave.

They must be, right? I was certain Lothran already had it but took it anyway and imagine my surprise when I saw he didn't have one!

I can guarantee he has been there but I am uncertain about that third section. We haven't regularly dungeon dived in years and years so I can't remember. Looks like it's in the Highlands area so if you remind me in March, when Lothran visits that region, maybe we'll check it out!

[Renee]

Crow, it is really difficult to figure out how to get into the third section. Don't spoil yourself. Try to figure it out first (I'm sure you will, anyway). I'd rate it at Tomb Raider-difficulty. Definitely a surprise, because it makes me wonder what other deep secrets this game has?

Oh and, uh, I'll post a proper update later.

[mirocu]

Lothran has just done round 2 of Silver Tooth Cave and as always, plenty of riches to be found. Gold/silver nugget and a regular sapphire, turns out Lothran didn't have one of those! He has plenty of Flawless ones though. Plenty of poisons used this time around, mainly one that prohibits shamans to cast spells but also Shock Damage on the many ogres on the road.

Currently having spent a night in the tent by Azura's shrine, Lothran is about to head home to Bruma again.

[Acadian]

Silencing a spellcaster is great fun! Well, unless you're the spellcaster.

Pretty much


-----------------------

Back in Bruma, Lothran decided to repair some of his weapons in the Frost collection that for some reason never were fixed before being added to the collection. He wanted them 100% instead of 125% so he took them to the Fighters Guild porter. Lothran chose to fix all items, which the porter did, so he went home because now it was time to mix up some potions.

When Lothran put the newly fixed items back in the drawer, he noticed something odd; Snowflake was at 100%. Looking at his armour, that too was also at 100%! They were fixed in the tent by Azura's shrine so everything was at 125% as all enemies along the way were dead as Lothran went home. This means the FG porter actually downgraded Lothran's gear, making them in worse condition! How he managed to do that to the very armour Lothran wore withour him noticing is a mystery


Anyway, potions and poisons were made so everything is stocked up. Now an evening at Olav's await.

[mirocu]

So today I had to take care of what I believe is our eleventh Abomb. Lothran had just left Jerall View and was on his way to Olav's when we saw the brazier outside his home acting up. Proper action was immediately taken and now we are ready for another evening of watching Ongar getting mauled as he keeps knicking food

[mirocu]

Today Lothran rode out to the bandit camp eastward to check if there was anyone there. It was empty, so he rode home again and parked Aetherius in the stables.
Yesterday evening was spent at Jerall View to change things up a bit. Much more quiet than Olav's. Not bad.

[mirocu]

The air has changed. The perpetual snowing has stopped. It is time.



Lothran could feel it now. Early in the morning he went out and checked Plundered Mine and Capstone Cave one last time and both were empty. He brought home Honmund's horse which had been mindlessly forgotten about in the mountains. One more shopping round at the Mages Guild and now, one more evening at Olav's Tap and Tack awaits.



The winter season is over and it's time to leave Bruma.

[Renee]

The winter season is over and it's time to leave Bruma.

Dangit. I was just about to switch back to Lady Saga (from Joan of Arkay), and Saga just got to Bruma.

Well I guess technically, my blonde archer elf has been there the whole time. I just haven't been gaming with her since December.

[Acadian]

Ahhh, the official end of winter cannot be far behind!
