I just didn't know too much about the local dangers. However, as I'd said before, if it bleeds, I could kill it.


Always a helpful skill on Solstheim.

Not too mention things that would likely want to eat us are in there, and likely territorial.


Here now- it was only the ONE time- and that was an ACCIDENT… . Oh, wait. Nevermind.

LOVE the screenie of Seth- sorry- DRALAS, in full stalk mode.

And I also appreciate the fact that you have made the wolves behave realistically (at least for now)- instead of with homicidal lunacy. The last of which is understandable, since in the vanilla game, there are NO prey animals on Solstheim- except for horkers- and.. well, people.

And hooray for Falco!

Hmm I think I know which side Seth- Dralas will take then.

A good three parts, his taking a new name as a good touch and makes sense. Such a thing might have been a dramatic moment, it shows how out of sorts he is that he hadn't preplanned. Though his choice makes perfect sense.

Carnius is another I liked, you seem to be portraying him more as incompetent, or at least lazy. I'll be interested to see if he sharpens up a bit when he realises how good Seth is at various things.

His fitting into the new landscape should be fun.

It's impossible....I just can't ....I mean post-machine is on again and I have just missed to comment on three installments! gah, am I p***sed of with myself!

I understand that Seth-Dralas is getting himself at home on Solstheim, hmm for better or for worse. Now I can well imagine him getting things going at Raven Rock, he surely is skilled enough..but there is a "but" right? is this what he wants to, really? he is fleeing from his past, but the past has a habit of catching up so....????

Love the dry humor of Seth ....really love it!

Just a feeling but I think Dralas and Falco will become strong allies against the unpopular Carnius. Nice thought that there is someone on the island that will do whatever needs to be done to keep things straight.

It is nice to see him settling in. These peaceful conversations will be short lived so finding his "path" as soon as possible is a good idea.

Good write, so look forward to more.

Good part.

I like the little observations of character you make. His not knowing what to say and Pene being totally out of her depth were nice touches. Orf course I suspect they won;t have been the only ones. You have Falco as an interesting man. I doubt him and Seth will immediatly get along but I suspect they will given time. How far Seth trusts him, and the consequences of that, on the other hand...

As ever I look forward to more.

Dralas is a sexy name. And Pene is a funny one. Yet both seemed to be anti-social when it comes to talking to Falco. And Falco was always such a nice guy. Carnius is a *insert rude word here*. I wonder how their relationship is going to pan out in the story.

"Yes?" he said sharply to me, as though every second I stood there cost him another twenty septims.

I rummaged through my bag in silent annoyance, costing him another hundred septims. Finally producing a letter intended for the Factor of Raven Rock.


ROFL !!! Loved that !!


QUOTE

I stopped for a moment, and thought out loud. "Dralas is a common enough Dunmeri name. It doesn't stand out. Venim does however. It was the name of an old enemy, it's a name I would never use. So if someone is looking hard enough, they'll know it's me."

"O--kay." Pene said, truly confused. "I thought you didn't want to be found?" She asked.

"I don't. That doesn't mean I won't need to be found." I offered.

In a truly grandiose moment, Pene was speechless.


Pene steals the show several times throughout this story, this is one example - Loved this !!


QUOTE

yet in a sort of chaotic harmony.


This was perfection.


Awesome Write, and sorry it took so long to catch up !!

I think that returning to a simpler life will be good for Seth. At least while it lasts. I’m looking forward to more. smile.gif

It was a treat to watch "Dralas" and Pene try to fit in with the group around the campfire.

QUOTE
When the conversation turned to me, I was actually at a loss for words. I was not really used to this kind of open conversation. Further, I was used to being quiet on several subjects. The few who I could talk about them with weren't here, and were also used to keeping quiet.

"M-me?" Pene said, startled. She gave me an uncertain look before started to speak. "I-I'm a healer? Yes, that's right, from High Rock..." she said in a low tone.


Me- oh- I um--- kill people for a living. And- my companion is a Seducer. Sleep tight everyone!

QUOTE
It seemed there was a general consensus that most people who ended up in Solstheim weren’t here for the scenery.


I am just sitting back to enjoy Seth- sorry- DRALAS'- explorations.

Pene barely stifled a laugh. She was catching on too humor quite quickly.


Pene picks up on the slapstick, lol. Loved that section! Absolutely loved Pene's reading of his aura !!! Great write !!!

Mine too! Wow that was the coolest thing...I'm not much into mysticism as such in RL but I do think that people emit energies...I was told once that my 'aura' was a violet-indigo color, I'll just stop there...

This was a wonderful look at Pene and how she sees Seth's world so different from her own. I wonder how she will 'view' the grave. I am also interested to see what she will bring into this 'quest' for Seth...

Great as usual, can't wait to see the next bit....

Enjoyed this part- especially Pene's nonchalant revelation that she can "see" the arcane energies of places and people.

And then there was this:

"

I don't actually sleep." She replied.

"I'm jealous."


Great addition to the story- as the conflict between Carnius (boo- hiss) and Falco begins.

Love Carnius, my kind of guy. And I liked the part where Treydog said. It was cool.

QUOTE
She piqued up visibly at this. "Good. There's a grave I wanted to visit!" She said immediately.

I blinked once. "That's...creepy."


Haha, loved that.
