Exactly. Jerric is the last guy you’d want to have catch you in a Mythic Dawn robe. He’s not known for moderation.

Allek and Njall the Unliving are the only ones of mine who have done the quest.

Njall just wanted a new soul as his reward from Dagon, so he dropped the damned dagger on the shrine and stalked off when he realized it wasn’t going to happen.

Allek decided he would stick the dagger into Silus as soon as it was restored before Silus had even finished telling him the plan. That quest could have been written for Allek.

My ex-Morag Tong chick could really use the dagger, but she’s a follower of the Reclamations and a Mephala devotee in particular. I can’t imagine that she’d agree to increase Dagon’s influence in any way.

Someone of mine (I think Rowan) got tangled up with ice wolves on the way to the Lord Stone, and the dremora from the shrine ran down to join the fight. There may have also been a dragon. I’m pretty sure she could get into the shrine after that. Great source of respawning loot and hearts.

What? I've never seen one there and Aravi's been to the Lord Stone several times.

Yep. There were two outside the shrine who came down to join the fight. (There was a lot of running.) I was surprised. She may have had the quest in her log already, but she hadn’t done it. Also this was long ago. I wonder if that was one of those inappropriate quest-related spawn issues that was patched. I’ll have to run someone new by there and check.


I wonder what happens when we leave those quest items in the box? I can’t remember who, but one of my characters found Meridia’s Beacon. S/he took one look and thought, No way am touching that glowing stone. (That sounds like Big D, actually. It was probably him.) So it stayed in the chest and no quest popped up. I wonder if the chest will respawn and take the stone away with it.

The two dremora by Dagon's Shrine should only appear while you are doing the quest, and then only when you are there at the end with Silus. Otherwise the door is inaccessble, and there is no one there. You probably ran into a glitch that spawned them early.

I think things like Meridia's Beacon probably do randomly respawn elsewhere if you stay out of the dungeon you originally find it in long enough for it to reset. The beacon can be found at random in any boss chest in the game. I think there is probably a script running in the background that makes a dice roll every time to open a boss chest to see if it is there. Or maybe it picks a place at random from all the boss chests at the start of the game? Maybe the latter, because when you start the quest, it will give you a map marker for where the beacon is if you have not already found it.

I just ran my new characters up to the shrine (pre- and post-pamphlet), and it was empty and locked up tight. I guess it was a glitch. That’s too bad.

In other news, I spent a little time in Darnand’s game getting Jerric’s (Argis’) gear together. It is tremendous fun to play Darnand the mage backed up by Jerric the battlemage. Here is a picture of Darnand and Jerric with their hot Skyrim chicks. Now Jerric (Argis) has the Sanguine Rose, so I’m sure the mayhem will increase. Next item on the list: the Shield of Solitude. Then they’ll make a Frost Atronach Staff. It should be interesting to see if one summoning staff gets used over the other or if he uses both.

Uthgerd’s house is more sparsely decorated in Darnand’s game. Jerric has had more time to accumulate stuff. Also Darnand is picky. He doesn’t want just any book on the dresser upstairs, he wants ‘his’ copy of Dwemer Inquiries Volume II. And a Dwemer gyro to put next to it. rolleyes.gif

On the way to Dawnstar they got caught in a major snow storm. The stopped in at a lighthouse so that Darnand could warm up.

What they found inside did not improve Jerric’s mood. After he destroyed the nest and put the unfortunate family to rest, he pushed on through the night to Dawnstar. Darnand followed.


Yeah, this place is sooo icky. The lighthouse with the family that moved in. Let's forget about the chauruses for a moment: I can only imagine how depressing it would be to move into a friggin' lighthouse on a coast in the middle of nowhere.

Yikes!*shudders*

A man in Mythic Dawn robes introduced himself and invited them inside. Then he asked them to help restore Mehrunes Razor.

Jerric killed him immediately.


Cool! This is so awesome!

OK so here’s Part B of the Dawnstar Museum incident as it played out in Darnand’s game (with Argis as Jerric). I’ve mentioned how in some ways Darnand’s and Jerric’s games are mirrors of each other, but this is the first time I’ve really made things happen during the game. (I usually switch to first person for administrative duties rather than having the characters do it. Same controls, different experience.) Jerric now carries the Shield of Solitude and can summon a dremora (Sanguine Rose for Argis) in both games. But Argis in Darnand’s game won’t give up his ebony axe, even though Darnand keeps giving him cool swords. Anyway.

The guys arrived in a snowstorm and followed Silus inside. He made his presentation to Darnand and Jerric (Argis), who as usual was standing back a little. When the moment of rage arrived I had Darnand give the follower command Attack Silus (as Jerric had done). I wasn’t sure what would happen since my criminals don’t tend to use followers.

Jerric muttered something and whipped out his axe. While he was stalking forward Silus had time to summon a Familiar which jumped on Darnand. Then Silus attacked Darnand with lightning.

At that point things got confusing. A Dawnstar guard entered and confronted Darnand by smacking him with her… mace? It was hard to see through the blood and lightning.

Then I heard kaboom YOU MEET YOUR END, MORTAL! It was one of those moments when the game delivers sheer delight. Jerric had summoned his dremora.

Thankfully the guard entered her arrest dialog with Darnand before Silus and his Familiar did too much damage to him. Darnand had instinctively loaded up a fireball, and letting one off in there would have been a really bad idea. So while the guard was facing Darnand with her weapon in her hand telling him off for being naughty in Dawnstar (40 Septim fine), right behind her Jerric and the dremora had Silus pinned against the wall between two display cases. Jerric was using his axe and the dremora is armed with a greatsword, so over the guard’s shoulder all I could see was their backs and a heaving mass of overhead chopping as those two hacked Silus to death.

Then Darnand went along quietly to pay his 40 gold fine.
