Jerric's Story, A Nord's Adventures in Cyrodiil Options

[ghastley]

This is brilliant, and almost un-Jerric at that. If you're lost in a cold place, ask a Frostie, especially when Itchy is available on demand.

I like the continuing tension between Jerric and Kjestrid. And that she's not falling apart when things get way out of her control. Since Jerric has already tried that, and found it didn't help, he's got an advantage she doesn't.

Looking forward to July's episode

Aw hell yeah!... ...

I go away for a bit and I get a whole TWO instalments to go through... ...

Very much loved the, "I'm going on my own!!"/"Of course you are, and I'm coming with you!" thing throughout...And then with added Frostie-Boy too!!...

Most excellent!!...

Very much a favourite...

Brilliant stuff, as ever...

Looking forward to another instalment as it turns up... ...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

I am catching up, it will take some time though!

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Two

This chapter was a rich immersion back into what makes Jerric (Jerric). The pee-writing his name in the snow when he is supposed to be using an alias; then immediately losing track of his alias at the sight of a pretty girl and blurting his name out; then forgetting he is supposed to be Darnand's servant of sorts - but the best line of all came from the Altmer at the end!!! SPEW !!!!

I'm with Jerric in wondering what is going on in Lildereth's mind and what she meant by Darnand not getting laid in Bruma; have she and Darnand continued to "forkulate" since that first time? And if so, why hasn't it been written into the script?

Awesome chapter, this is exactly how I remember this story to be = excellent and fun!

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Three


BWAAHAA! You've really captured the Bruma Mages guild here! And Alga at the end; SPEW! I didn't understand the ‘Mara Mother Mild’ and Chapel family business.” either; but get the feeling this has something to do with Lildereth's telling that man that Jerric and Darnand were lovers,

Great chapter!

[mALX]

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Four


This chapter had me rolling with how fast word is spreading around Bruma about Jerric and Darnand; and the fact that word of his getting whooped upstairs reaching downstairs before he even gets there was the icing on the cake!

EW! They cook the food after the dog chews on it, urgh! Gross!

Asgerd immediately spouts his true name, and just when he was getting good at remembering his alias! Oh, then ... BWAAHAA! Gives his full correct name, THEN gives him some code to figure out about Jauffre; like if anyone was listening to hear the coded stuff about Jauffre, they wouldn't have heard the Jerric part? DOH! A little late to remember to be secretive there, Asgerd!

Oh great, and as for trying to slip under the wires unobtrusively as an associate; now Asgerd is going to raise him up to a command position that will draw attention to him - especially such a fast rise in ranks. Oh, Asgerd most def blew his cover!

Now to see how he gets out of this...or does he? Maybe Jearl and Saveri Faram will attack him and expose themselves.

Great chapter!

[mALX]

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Five

Oh no, he didn't ... Jerric is most def out of his element with women in the last few chapters, does this have something to do with his feelings for Abiene? I've never seen him so ... gauche; that is twice he has insulted poor Selena!

Oh, very cool intro to Camilla Lollia; what a great idea!

Ulfe the "Cat" chasing dog; and J'Skar the balls scratching Cat had me rolling, and the "Not the lads!" line had me choking!!!!

Jerric's warning to Volanaro not to try pulling any pranks on him was very smooth; and I liked how well Volanaro took the threat!

Great chapter!

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Six


BWAAHAA! Jerric trying to field personal questions and can't think up lies quick enough or tell them convincingly,

And he gives away secrets anyway! BWAAHAAA!

I get the feeling everyone is thinking that wedding ring is a symbol of he and Darnand's "Marriage,"


Now, I wonder what this initiation will do? I'm with Jerric on not being able to come up with anything but peeing on a wall!



Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Seven


Jerric going all but naked to a brothel in the middle of the night = and with no gold! SPEW !!! Loved what he come up with though; now let us see if they really keep his secret! BWAAHAA!

Awesome Write!!!

To be honest I am surprised it took Jerric that long, given his history. Even if it was just a tug, and not a drill.

Or "bite?" BWAAHAA!

[mALX]

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Eight - OMG, Jerric and Jaan !!!!! SPEW !!!!! Now THAT is the Jerric I remember from the beginning of the story,

Awesome Write, I may come back many times to re-read this chapter and have a great laugh again and again !!!

[mALX]

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Nine - I think the Bruma Fighters Guild is about to develop a whole new respect for Jerric. He has experience with these gates - boy, it seems like forever since he has had to use that experience though! I remember him coming back to Anvil a shell of the man he started out being in his story; and Darnand having to bring him back from that awful place! He has sure come a long way in his story!

Awesome Write!

[mALX]

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Ten - GAAAAAAH !!!! What in the holy hell is this? Is it how Jerric goes to Skyrim or something? Urk, this is freaky!!!! Can't wait to find out what is going on! Awesome Write !!!

[mALX]

Chapter 17: Bruma, Part Eleven - HOLY CRAP !!!! This is the most AWESOME world building - What the living hell is going on in that gate? Holy Crap !!!!

*mALX's head explodes*

AWESOME, AWESOME Write !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Acadian]

Just wanted to bump this magnificent story to wish dear Jerric a happy birthday!



Buffy’s always been drawn to the furry funny Nord. Perhaps it is the fact that, between Lil and Abiene she knows he is unavailable - and the little elf tends to want what she cannot have. Perhaps it is that he is everything she is not – big, strong, brave, can lift heavy objects and break things. Perhaps it is because he and she both bear the title of Blonde. Or perhaps it is the treasured toe-ring of resist frost that he gifted to her and she never removes.

Regardless, happy birthday to the big Nord!


Buffy has a massive collection of worms, guts and other things that she understand fishermen use as bait. It is safely preserved with frost salts awaiting his arrival to ESO’s PC North America server.

[mALX]

Happy Birthday Jerric!


(two cakes, knowing Jerric's appetite, lol.)

[ghastley]

Something tells me two cakes will take a lot of mead to wash it down, too.

Merry Birthday! (Hic!)

[Grits]

Aw, thanks everyone. and all around! It means so much that you have stuck with us through this story's many long silences.

Acadian, Buffy's kindness warms a Nord's heart. His petite fellow blonde has always held a fascination for him. Even as he respects and admires her dragon spirit, her butterfly fragility makes him want to get his shield between her and danger. (Perhaps this is why he gets shot in the back so much.) How sweet and generous that Buffy is collecting and preserving bait for Jerric! When he gets there he is going to catch and cook so many fish, the cookfire smoke will make folks think an anchor has dropped. Beach party!!

Jerric found himself in Malabal Tor with Ulfe and Flash on his birthday, where he stumbled upon this spot. After thoroughly checking the falls for naked, frolicking wood elves and alas finding none, he knew exactly how he was going to celebrate: Plan B.

[Acadian]

'This spot' - Wow, Jerric's biceps are bigger than Buffy's waist!

'Plan B' - Aww, so glad Jerric got some fishing in today!

[mALX]

I just love Jerric's outfit!

[haute ecole rider]

Plan B -

Happy Birthday to Jerric! This is actually from my Skyrim character Alise. who has not yet arrived in ESO. If you may recall, she is married to Argis so Jerric holds a special spot in her heart for being so much like her hubby!

[kafn8ed]

So what happens? Can't leave Jerric stuck in that gate! It's been 2 1/2 years! I need to know!

[Grits]

Previously: County Bruma. Fighters Guild members Jerric, Kjestrid, Shamir-do, and Gjaever entered a Gate to Oblivion. They arrived in an icy, unstable realm. The Gate closed, trapping them. Jerric’s summoned frost atronach Ishckrihk located another open Gate and a possible return route to Mundus.


SubRosa: Ah, “willed� sounds much better. Thank you! I was a little surprised at how Izzy and Jerric connected in the last episode. I wonder if I will ever find a chance to contrast a daedric elemental being with an aedric one. Our Nord is a terrible spy. At least he technically made it out of County Bruma before announcing his full name!

Acadian: Thank you, Acadian! Itchy has been fun to write. Thanks for spotting that wayward d.

Darkness Eternal: Thank you, DE! They will soon figure out where they are.

Kazaera: Thank you, Kaz! The Gate closings can be tedious in the game. I’m glad changing them up a bit in the story world keeps the danger close.

ghastley: Kjestrid is in deeper trouble than she’s ever been, but so far she’s proving her worth. She’s still not entirely sure about Jerric, though. Thank you, ghastley!

McBadgere: Thank you, McB! Here’s another one!

mALX: You got it, Alga’s “Mother Mara mild� line from the game was a warning that even though she and Honmund weren’t married, Jerric should keep his trousers buckled around her man. Poor Jerric was out of sorts with all of the “real� Skyrim Nords and attempts at secrecy. Pretty soon he would have stood on the table at the Tap and Tack and yelled, “I’m Jerric! Come and get me!� Good thing a Gate opened, he knows what to do about that! Thank you, mALX!

kafn8ed: A warm welcome, and thank you very much for the bump! I went back to this story for my NaNo project in November, and here are the results!


Next: A chilly hike.
