Where Are You Today? Options

Is that so?

Well Renee Gade III, daughter of Renee Gade II, grand daughter of the original Renee Gade. Elder Scrolls Champion who defeated Jagar Tharn in the Year 389 (I think...) in the game Elder Scrolls: Arena, has now arrived in Skingrad.

She's still looking for Welkynd stones. Retrieved five stones from Wendir. There are a bunch of other stones in Wendir, but they're all way up high, on pedestals. Tried shooting one down with an arrow, but the dang thing merely slipped behind its pedestal, way too high to grab.

Here's one of those "What would Buffy do?" moments?

[Acadian]

Telekinesis spell?

[SubRosa]

Arrows always worked fine for me. I can't remember if the starting fire spell would knock them down or not.

[ghastley]

Go to Wendelbeck, and don't worry about ones you can't reach. There are 58 in there.

[Renee]

See this is what I love, the Community comin' together.

Acadian: RG3 had a Telekinesis scroll for 30 seconds but somehow I fumbled it. It's been so long, probably since 2008, that I had anyone use Telekinesis. By the time those 30 seconds were up, nothing accomplished!

SubRosa: Yes, she was able to shoot a couple with arrows, but they still slipped behind their pedestals. And for every stone we'd knock out of its pedestal with an arrow, there'd be six or seven misses!

ghastley: Ah, that's an idea, Wendelbeck. HaVen't tried there, yet.

Gade just got done plundering Miscarcand. Was able to grab a bunch of stones from there. She left 19 stones behind in Minlorada (from the Well of Minlorada) so I think we've met our quota for Welkynds, since 40 are needed overall. If she still hasn't got enough, we'll think of heading south.

Well, methinks 30 secs is well good enough to grab a few Welkynds off its pillar and it's not an expensive spell to buy. Or why not go with a staff? Or stave?

[Renee]

Oh, I'm sure the spell is useful, it's just been 14 years or so since I've tried utilizing Telekinesis. RG3 had that one scroll which she's probably been carrying forever...

[mirocu]

Another possibility could an AoE spell mebbe? Just spewing ideas over here!


On topic: Lothran now rests at Jerall View after having sold a weapon found in Serpent's Trail and having bought some ingredients at the Mages Guild.

A fireball will knock the welkynd stones off their pedestal. The flare spell will also work but the aim has to be precise. For me it is high to the left of target. Very useful early in the game.

Later in game I switch to telekinesis spell. You can get a telekinesis staff by joining the Mages Guild. With the Midas Magic mod you can make spell that grants you angel wings for a limited time. That's a fun one. Flying around like a bird, plucking welkynd stones from their perches.

Right now, I'm in the Shivering Isles fighting my way through a horde of Gnarls and Elytra in Swampgas Hole.

But that's a direct violation of the Levitation Act!

Sounds fun! Haven't been to the Isles since 2020.

[Renee]

None of mine have been to the Isles. I had a wizard who wanted to go there, but his game was on a PS3 which fried.

[mirocu]

None of mine have been to the Isles.

This revelation actually surprises me. None of them?

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

Lothran has now donned the official Bruma guard outfit and has taken up patrolling the streets of Bruma.

I feel safer already.

[Renee]

The desire has to come from my character. Joan, Snaaty, RG3, none of mine has a desire to go into some world of madness!

I had a character on PS3, my Grey Wizard, who became CoC and Arch Mage, and he was wanting to head to the Isles (because Grey Wizard was sort of loony) but that's when my PS3 crashed.

I feel safer already.

Me too.... by the GODS!

[mirocu]

As always Lothran is standing guard at the North gate, mixing it up with patrols around town every now and then. Snow is falling and all is quiet.

[Renee]

Hmm, that platinum-haired Dunmer is back on patrol? Maybe we'll avoid Bruma...

Because I switch to my skooma dealer today. Snaat Rayag is in Skytop Manor, his remote Tudor-styled home located somewhere off the Orange Road. He's got 10 vials to sell, which (for me) means lots of adventures ahead! Not going into holes and killing monsters, but adventures with the common people of Cyrodiil. Trying to maintain "capital" while dealing with eager customers as well rude or dangerous non-customers. Some people do not like skooma dealers in my Oblivion.

Just had a thought, bout an hour ago. Maybe Snaat Rayag will be my first to head to the Shivering Isles! Because doesn't the Isles have its version of skooma? Not skooma itself, but some other substances. So yeah, maybe he'll head to SI.

[mirocu]

I believe that while the Isles is a good idea for Snaat, he's now safe in Bruma, from the Dunmer at least, since he has gone off-duty and is sitting at home using his magic to make sure the fire in the fireplace doesn't stutter anymore


Yes; another Abomb hit today! The 13th in fact if my calculations are correct.
