@mALX: Yes I do have companion friendly inns, I got sick of Vilja throwing a tantrum every time they stayed at an inn. The windows are from Immersive Interiors! You are the one that sent that mod to me!

Aravi was a little stunned. She was trying to figure out how she was going to change clothes without putting on a show for anyone that might glance up into her window.

Aravi paid for the room so she’s going to take the big bed!

Falanu asks ridiculous prices through that whole mod and Aravi was sick of her blatant rip offs. That was the first time Aravi stole something and she was very nervous about it. She was freaked out by the thunder and lightning already and she was expecting an angry Falanu and the guards at any minute.

Thanks mALX!

@Grits: Vilja’s such a critic. Aravi’s going to wear what she pleases. Those dresses just get dirty and snag on stuff when she’s walking around so she’ll wear pants.

She didn’t know what to do when she entered her room. “Where are the curtains?” was her first thought.

I don’t think Aravi’s aware of Falanu’s… preferences. That’s a pretty safe bet on Vilja though.

Thanks Grits!

@Acadian: You really like that statue don’t you. I guess that’s where Buffy got one of her important spells from.

That was a shock opening the door and seeing the whole room was… totally observable from the street!

We’ll see who gets the “kitty bed.” You are forgetting that Vilja spends quite of bit of the evening and early morning quenching her thirst. That means first choice will be Aravi’s! It’ll be interesting to see if Vilja crashed in the same bed with Aravi or if she sleeps in the other one.

And I bet it’ll be a few weeks before Falanu notices that it’s missing. It’s not like she uses it a lot.

Thanks Acadian!

-------------------------------
Aravi and Vilja enjoy the morning outside of Skingrad before hitting the road and going home.

TIME: 9:13

[mALX]

Vilja did that to me in that exact same place - wandered off (very fast) into the woods around Skingrad. I could hear her talking but not find her. When I finally did I told her to follow me instead, and boy did she get ticked off at that! She refused to follow me till I told her to ride Brusa, then she was okay after that, lol. WHEW !!

I never saw anything attack Aravi, did she just get it from walking in the wooded areas? (like real ticks)?

Great Vid !!

[Grits]

Swimming, flowers, and butterflies! What a pretty morning in the West Weald.

I had to laugh at Aravi’s reaction when Vilja headed north off the road at Derelict Mine. What’s wrong with the road? I guess Vilja likes the direct route. Some of those plants are higher than Aravi.

I like Vilja’s armor, even though we mostly saw her distant head. She needs to carry a little flag to wave around if she’s going to take off through the shrubbery like that.

Yikes, sick again. Poor Aravi. Other than the ticks, it was a lovely day!

[Acadian]

This was lovely!

Neat transition from the ‘door loading’ to leave the West Weald Inn to appearing in the meadows outside Skingrad. Very clever and well done!

Pickin’ ‘gredients in your ‘kini with your friend. Just doesn’t get much better than that!

Woot! New armor for Vilja!

Gosh you really captured Aravi’s WTF moment when Vilja opted for the off road route home instead of the perfectly direct Gold Road! I laughed as Aravi looked back and forth between the road and the woods before obviously unhappily following her Nordic friend with the ‘perfect sense of location’.

Beautiful weather. I much prefer sunny days in Cyrodiil.

Lol. Vilja is hard to follow in that grass. You need the mod ‘Dude, Where’d I Park My Horse Nord?’ It gives you a green quest marker arrow.

And finally they make it home. Your camera effects do a great job of showing Aravi feeling sick and woozy. Glad she had a cure disease pote-tshun.

Holy Imp Chips! Vilja reported that she ran across a couple mud crabs the other day.

[King Coin]

@mALX: I’m glad it wasn’t just with Aravi then. It seems like VIlja likes taking “short cuts” or something. This time she didn’t start wandering so far out of the way that Aravi felt she needed to take control of things.

Thanks mALX!

@Grits: It was very nice out! I’m happy Aravi’s getting some time to enjoy that stuff now.

She was considering sticking to the road and let Vilja find her own way home. In the end, she sighed and ran after Vilja.

I’m glad you like the armor. I thought it looked a bit ridiculous with the massive bust size that modders seem to prefer; which is a reason Aravi has stuck with a vanilla cuirass.

Thanks Grits!

@Acadian: I thought you would like this one!

This little time off from vampires is really doing all kinds of good for Aravi. She’s been quite happy even with Vilja’s alternative travel routes.

Thanks Acadian!

Aravi gives the potion to Heniri and then waits out a storm.**

Runar’s Letter
Vilja’s Letter
(zoom in to read)

** I couldn’t keep up with the conversation with Vilja, but the journal entry and the letters convey the meaning very well.

[Thomas Kaira]

After viewing your latest vids, I have another mod suggestion for you: Harvest Flora.

What does this mod do? Well, whenever you check a plant for ingredients, a portion of the plant is removed (or the whole plant is if necessary). This allows for a more realistic experience, and you will be able to easily keep track of which plants you have already harvested.

So if you, say, check a blackberry bush for ingredients, you will notice the blackberries on it disappear. Or when you grab some seeds off a Flax plant, you will clip off the flowers to let yourself know you have already harvested that plant.

It's a very subtle mod, but it really enhances the atmosphere of the game. This really is one of those mods I would recommend to anyone who plays this game.

Anyways, on your West Weald wandering vid, I got a good smile in when Vilja handed Aravi the Fatigue potion, since Aravi was obviously a bit tired, not only from the journey, but also from whatever spoils she was lugging up all those stairs.

I wonder how long it would take with me in Cyrodiil to start missing elevators?

I finally got to see Vilja say some of my favorite lines of hers! This is exciting getting to see the end of her quests for version 3, and I wonder if you'll be getting version 4 to try out her new quests when this is over? (!)

That was awesome how you went out the window in TFC, I didn't know what would happen doing that - it was great !!!

Oh, and I finally get to see what is in Vilja's letters too - that has had my curiousity peaked for a while !!!

Great Vid !!

[Grits]

Heneri Hlaalu in a lightning storm, for a minute I thought we were in a haunted house. Yikes. She had some fun things to say about Vilja, though.

I was chuckling at Vilja’s complaint about bandit food. Just like a Nord.

Wow. Vilja seemed a lot happier once she got the melting daedra heart. That was quite a story she shared with Aravi. I wonder how Aravi’s meeting with Runar will go. Hopefully he won’t tempt her temper.

I really enjoyed the way you showed Aravi’s wait for the storm and for Vilja to think over what she was going to say. Vilja has had some annoying moments, but their friendship really shines here.

[Acadian]

That Heneri, in her own way, is as creepy as her daughter! And it sounds like she has a streak of the Sheogorath in her – Cheese! Peanuts!

How sweet of Aravi to offer to help Vilja without even fully knowing the task. And how sweet the way Vilja feels about Aravi as described in her letter.

Gosh that was a long storm and you did a wonderful job of showing the passage of time. I was so relieved when Aravi finally got up from that chair to see she did not have a kink in her tail!

I perked up and was carefully watching as Aravi walked past the Cheydinhal stable – you know, looking for some of Superian’s brothers or sisters.

Great idea to turn the two letters into screens for us to linger over. Thanks!

Wonderful vid!

[King Coin]

@ Thomas Kaira:That sounds like a nice mod, I will keep it in mind. Then there will be a reason to not strip every plant in the area of ingredients. If I find us out in a beautiful field again I will add it.

As of now, I’m trying to avoid changing my game because I don’t have a lot of time to mess around with everything adding a new mod entails. I usually have to edit the Bash Patch.

That fatigue potion was one of the more useful potions Vilja has provided. Much of Aravi’s fatigue drain was from a disease. I have a mod running that makes the diseases in the game more potent.

Thanks Thomas Kaira!

@mALX: I’m not going to add version 4 just to be safe until after Vilja’s main questline is done. That way if something goes wrong (which I doubt) I won’t be SOL with my videos.

I’m glad you liked my camera zooming. I had some fun with that. And of course I try to keep everyone updated with any documents; I especially had to do that with this quest. Vilja had a lot to say and I couldn't get it all.

Thanks mALX!

@ Grits: I remember the first time I didn’t show what Heniri had to say about Vilja there was uproar! I made sure I included it this time.

Aravi has been a lot happier as well since she started focusing on helping Vilja. She was getting really strung out with the constant fighting and the dreams (which she still has but are not nearly as severe).

Thanks Grits!

@Acadian: Oh she is extremely creepy. You will see. I think she belongs in the Shivering Isles.

That letter was very sweet. I’m happy Vilja shared that with us.

Heh, yeah Aravi had to wait a few hours. Maybe a little stiff, but she gets to streatch her legs some in the on the way to the Imperial City.

Thanks Acadian!

----------------------------------
Aravi travels to the Imperial City and speaks to Runar.

TIME: 8:57

[Acadian]

Aravi on a quest for her friend!

What a nice trip to the IC. Mud crab for lunch! Oh, we saw one of those the other day. . . . And a great swim. Your water looks great.

And Runar. . . what a smarmy worm! Grrrr! True gentleman?!? More like a disgusting pig methinks. I’m so glad Aravi didn’t give him a tumble. And Vilja’s so much better off without him.

[Grits]

The scenery is gorgeous again. Love those snowy mountains. Gosh, the water is so beautiful! I see that Aravi does enjoy air-drying after a swim. Whoa, she was pretty bold walking nekkid all the way up to the prison this time.

Wow. That Runar is a nasty piece of work. If there was a knee to groin attack option, I’m sure Aravi would have used it. He was right about Aravi’s fantastic eyes, though.

I have a lot more sympathy for Vilja, now! I’m glad Aravi is doing this for her friend.

[King Coin]

@Acadian: Aravi give him a tumble? Not in a million years! She was disgusted by him. She wanted to punch him, though that would have led to a meeting with the legion.

Thanks Acadian!

@Grits: Those cells don’t have windows and there’s never anyone back there so she walked the whole way up. I’m glad Shady Sam hangs out on the other side of the city though. Lol.
Aravi did want to hit him, but the legion doesn’t tolerate that, even if they deserve it.

Thanks Grits!
----------------------------------------------------------

Aravi gives Vilja the ingredient from Runar, then finds out about a recent murder committed by a vampire in the Imperial City.

TIME: 7:47

**Youtube was acting weird this morning, let me know if you have any issues watching the video.

Vilja’s assessment of Runar Scumbag was spot on.

Loved it when Aravi turned around and glared at Vilja for suggesting the quiet kitty talk more. I almost expected Aravi to tell her that Vilja does enough talking for Aravi plus ten women (or Buffy plus two maybe).

Then dear Vilja adds insult to injury by saying, “I don’t feel much like talking.”

Anyway, old Runar’s a memory now and Aravi has another vampire to hunt down.

Gosh, that Simplicia’s not slow at all. She’s right quick into Aravi’s coin purse!

Loaded up, armed up and into the sewers. I’ll bet Aravi will need her soap by the time she gets out of there!

[mALX]

URK !! How did I miss that vid posting ???? !!!! ???? ARGH !!! I was surprised to see Aravi get right up to the IC, lucky thing Ocato wasn't looking out the window of that tower, lol. I thought Shady Sam may have gotten an eyeful, but right after I said that I realized you were on the other side of the IC from him.

Now I'm going to watch the vid you just posted, lol. I am so sorry KC !! You should have spurred me with a cattle prod !!

[mALX]

ARGH! A cliffhanger !! Simplicia the Slow was hilarious, lol. Awesome vid - really surprised she is taking Vilja with her and not armored !!!

[Grits]

I’m glad Vilja is over Runar. What a jerk.

How funny, Vilja doesn’t feel like talking, but she wants Aravi to talk? How about a little companionable silence, woman!

Simplicia was slow to get to the point. Oh yuck, the sewers. Poor Aravi.

It’s exciting to see her get back to hunting!

[King Coin]

@Acadian: I’m kind of sorry that Vilja came all the way from Morrowind for him.

Your comment on Vilja’s talking made me smile Buffy plus two.

Simplicia won’t be getting another coin soon from Aravi. Her crude way of demanding money really put Aravi off.

Thanks Acadian!

@mALX: Aravi was near the prison, they don’t seem to like windows over there. And what would Ocato be doing there? He’d be in the big tower in the center of the city.

I did notice after I recorded that Vilja wasn’t wearing armor. That’s an oops.

Thanks mALX!

@Grits: Runar was vile, Aravi was all too happy to be done with the whole thing.

A little silence would be greatly appreciated. Is that too much to ask after talking to Runar?

She felt ready to dive back into the hunt! That time away from all the killing and nightmares put her in a wonderful mood.

Thanks Grits!
----------------------------------------------
Aravi finds a way into the sewers and looks for the vampire.

TIME: 8:47

[Grits]

It is a credit to Aravi’s steely nerve that she did not slap Vilja in the first ten seconds at the top of the stairs. Good grief!

Holy crap, for a second I thought that bandit was Aravi!! NOT good.

It sounds like Vilja is ready to start dating again after Runar. She’s going on about the cute Azzan, comberry wine, and strawberries.

New boots! Nice, now Aravi won’t have to walk barefoot in poo.

It’s fun to watch Aravi have to search for the vampire. I don’t know what to expect.

[mALX]

Oh, that is what I meant - Ocato looking out the windows of that high tower and seeing a naked Khajiit trouping up the hill toward the city, ROFL !!! I was only teasing, lol.

I freaked like a mother when Aravi cleared the pitch darkness and Vilja was in her face, ROFL !!!

Ooh, that was really cool when Aravi moved the bandit off the steps !! That must be the place where your portal is! I recognized the tapestry! (but didn't see the portal).

I have to agree with Grits, those boots look Awesome on Aravi !! I am wild about the loot you get from those mods !! I really miss your old night-eye though, the one that didn't add the blue tint. Great Vid !!
