Where Are You Today? Options

[Renee]

Did he happen to notice if a sneaky-looking Redguard with a fun sense of humor was sitting nearby? And also carrying a Gray Fox Cowl?

[mirocu]

Was the Redguard gulping down some cheap wine? If yes, then no; he didn't see him

[mirocu]

Tonight Lothran decided to return to the Market District sewers to see if there were more bandits to lure up streetside.
Turns out there were, although no action ensued because beside the friendly female Khajiit bandit, another two friendly female Khajiit bandits were now there!

No wonder no one engaged in a fight earlier even though they should have heard Lothran jump around on the other side of the door; they were already friendly to him

[Acadian]

Making friends in low places, eh?

[mirocu]

I have no idea why this is, but for some reason specifically female Khajiit bandits are much more likely to be friendly towards Lothran!


Ah, but lets not forget one of his former "vocations"....

[Lopov]

Looks like that kitties love Lothran.

On a way to Sercen, Graziana came upon two corpses, the first one of a female Orc commoner and the second one of an Imperial soldier. Whoever or whatever killed them, was fortunately not around anymore.

Visiting Sercen, however, brought no answers to Graziana, who was hoping to shed some light on the attack by the ruin and the subsequent imprisonment. Since it looked like that the mystery behind the events at Sercen can't be solved, Graziana decided not to dally anymore. It was time to head to the Weynon Priory.

OH, I think I know why ...


Lopov: Get the feeling Sercen is a dead end.

Sercen was one of my fave places to loot and plunder, by the way. One room with guaranteed action, plenty of drama, and a boss chest at the end. I used to call it "one stop shopping".

[mirocu]

Lothran has just visited the Marie Elena. It's a nice ship galleon and one of the places he always goes to before the winter season.

[Lopov]

Was there a pumpkin outside the main door to the Marie Elena? If yes, a certain thief might have been there as well...

The Amulet of Kings has been delivered but Graziana couldn't resist the call of adventure before departing to Kvatch. In Chorrol she joined the Guild of Mages and earned her first recommendation. After clearing out trolls and ogres at Nonwyll Cave, it's now time to head south to find the lost heir.

[Renee]

Grazi's looking for her lost heir? Nice. Wonder who that could be. Does she happen to have a mother here in Cyrodiil as well? A mother who (let's say) has a lot of other children?

Fredas, Last Seed 16, 4th Era Year 1-- Joan of Arkay is in one of Chorrol's new shoppes, this one called Olive's Baked Goods. It's run by an orc name (guess) Olive. Joan's been living back in Cyrodiil now for at least a couple years, but still, she can remember those days in Vvardenfell when she longed for sweetrolls.

She goes overboard in the baked goods shoppe, buying special loaves of bread, cookies, baked custard, and of course, two sweetrolls. Spiced cider, too. Yum.

But she's not alone. After visiting Chorrol's chapel, which has a gathering of refugees from Kvatch, she feels their plight. They've got nowhere to live, and Joan lives in a gigantic place called Battlehorn Castle, a place which is devoid of bodies. She decides to pay one of the refugees to follow her back to the castle. Maybe this poor lady can find some tasks to do once she's there. Joan gives her refugee some food.

On her agenda is to visit a few Ayleid ruins she hasn't been to yet. Umbacano needs more statues.

[mirocu]

Onboard the Marie Elena for the last time this autumn. Come Monday Lothran will set off for Aleswell, his usual stop on his way to Bruma.



Winter is coming

[Acadian]

The Marie Elena? I hear it's a galleon. . . .

The road north from the IC awaits.

[mirocu]

Lothran has now arrived in Aleswell. He left early in the morning and only found some minor scuffle on the way. Like last year, the blue-est sister was not trapped inside the staircase of the Aleswell inn, as she had been two years ago. So no need to get her out of there.

All sheep seem to be safe and sound and tomorrow Lothran will visit Ancotar down at the ruin. The villagers don't seem to want to...

[Renee]

Phew, well at least the sheep are okay. That's one less worry, crossed right off the list there.

Hypothetical: but what would happen if Lothran for some reason did not make it to Bruma in time for winter?

[mirocu]

It was a breath holder, wasn't it?

Hypothetical: but what would happen if Lothran for some reason did not make it to Bruma in time for winter?

Well, winter is outside my home as we speak, but Lothran doesn't follow that. He goes to Bruma when it's the last weekend of November. But as it was a hypothetical question, well, I guess he'd just go there at his earliest convenience.

Lothran is now in Bruma!


As tradition dictates, he left Aleswell early in the morning and walked the Silver Road to the wintery town. Along the way he defeated two Minotaur Lords and chatted up one female Khajiit bandit. And once in his house all trinkets found throughout the year were placed in their respective drawer and yes; Snowflake, Lothran's trusty weapon gifted to him by dear Buffy, is once again his sidearm of choice.


It's good to be home!

[Acadian]

All is right on Nirn then. The Snowflake-equipped winter guardian of Bruma is in place. Hope he got the little fireplace in his home working?

[Renee]

He chatted up another bandit???

Hope he got the little fireplace in his home working?

I know, right? Bruma House for Sale's got the only non-working fireplace if I recall correctly. Meanwhile, that's the town where we really NEED a fireplace.

[mirocu]

Certainly! What would a log cabin be without a roaring fireplace?

He chatted up another bandit???

Yup. They sure seem to like Lothran

Bruma House for Sale's got the only non-working fireplace if I recall correctly. Meanwhile, that's the town where we really NEED a fireplace.

That always annoyed me. Early on when I learned about the lit torch trick I applied that and arranged three torches in such a manner that the fire from them looked like a normal fire. But when I found a mod I happily replaced those torches and finally Lothran could have a real fire in his home

-----------------------
Lothran has been enjoying the town of Bruma while conducting business and being social. Right now he's sitting at the Jerall View and will soon head down to Olav's Tap and Tack. And would you believe it; as soon as Lothran exited his house it had started snowing! If history is any guide it will now not stop snowing until March next year

[mirocu]

Lothran has now cleared out Plundered Mine, first time for this season. Some Septims, lockpicks and one gold nugget were the spoils. His crowd control spell worked wonders but it does require potions to boost Lothran's Magicka reserves.

Next up; an evening at Olav's!
