Aravi in Skyrim, her video story Options

[King Coin]

@SubRosa: Kharjo isn’t actually much larger than a regular Khajiit. I adjusted his size to be 1.02 times standard male Khajiit, and Aravi to be .98 times standard female Khajiit. Female Khajiit are already .95, so I believe that makes Aravi .93 and Kharjo 1.02.

I bought a new graphics card and activated the HD graphics packs Bethesda released and I am loving all the detail, especially on the clothing. Thanks SubRosa!

@Acadian: The dress really does suit her, it’s nice, but not overdone. The mod that lets the ears poke through the helm was such a good idea, she wouldn’t have been able to tolerate smooshing her ears inside. Thanks Acadian!

@mALX: And here I thought you were going to like the second practice picture! I love taking close ups of her face, and the stars made a great backdrop for it. Thanks mALX!

@Grits: This was a varied collection, wasn’t it? I thought you’d like Starry night, thanks Grits!

The rest of the journey to Winterhold was blessedly quiet after Morthal. Chilly, but quiet.
Aravi’s power has grown significantly since she first tried to gain entrance to the College of Winterhold, and is granted entry this time.

[Grits]

The Winterhold guards are a charming bunch.

Yay, she’s in!

[mALX]

Aravi's signature head shake was perfectly timed, lol. The basic entry into the College, lol. Has anyone found a desk in that room? She says the bed and desk are yours, I could never find any desk, lol. Great Vid !!

[Acadian]

“Is that fur coming out of your ears?” “No, it’s steam!” mALX is right about the head shake probably being the best response. *sigh*

I could see her ‘You feel chilly’ mod at work.

Congrats to Aravi! I’m so glad that Kharjo was able to come in with her!

[liliandra nadiar]

"Is that fur coming out of your ears?"
"I am a Kahjiit..."
Boobie prize to the guard.

J'Zargo vs Kharjo... Fight!

[Darkness Eternal]

Coin, I have been following this story, you just don't realize it .

Woah, at first I thought Aravi was dead when Kharjo was looking at the decapited body with the spilled entrails.

“The Companions invited me to join the Circle. To become one of them, a condition was to become as they were. Werewolves. I rejected it at first, but then I learned that werewolves were immune to every disease. Including vampirism. So I accepted.”

Rather be a Lycanthrope than a vampire, eh? This was interesting. A feline who transforms into a canina who has the spirit of a wolf and the soul of a dragon . I agree with mALX. You brought depth to them and had them even closer than they already are.

[SubRosa]

Congrats on the new card, and HD graphics!

I have always wondered what Skyirm's lawmen have against lollygaggin'?

I think you can just shout at the symbol on the ground, instead of using the spell Faralda tells you to. Most of my characters cannot shout though, so to me it is kind of moot.

So Aravi is going to school. I wonder if that means toga parties! Taking apart the Arch-Mage's wagon and putting it back together again on the roof?

Oh look, its the resident Thalmor spy! Talk about a slimy fellow.

@Grits: Remember me telling you about them? This was why. Thanks Grits!

@mALX: All the rude guards needed some kind of reaction from Aravi. Glad you approve. I was wondering about the desk too! Is it invisible? Thanks mALX!

@Acadian: I enjoyed your steam response! Aravi being Aravi, they just get a head shake. Thanks Acadian!

@liliandra: J’Zargo vs Kharjo? That’d be hilarious! Thanks liliandra!

@DE: You’ve been sneaky!

Aravi’s been battling vampires and vampirism for a long time, she started back in Cyrodiil. She got infected with the disease so many times that she really couldn’t be rid of it, giving her vivid, disturbing dreams and occasionally made her burn in sunlight like a vampire. When she learned she could be totally rid of the disease, she took the opportunity, not really thinking what it meant exactly for her. Thanks DE!

@SubRosa: I never tried shouting at the symbol, perhaps it will work. Aravi’s going to be a typical college student and attend the first class and not show up for any others! That Thalmor just screams ‘bad guy!’ doesn’t he? Thanks SubRosa!

Aravi attends her first obligatory lecture before meeting some of the other students.

A lone screen shot to share as well

The wolf

[mALX]

Holy Cow, I def was not expecting the dragons at the end !! It seems like they are attacking in twos a lot lately, but only one dies each time after all that fighting - she only gets one soul and one looting !!! Urk !!

Awesome screen, I am assuming that is Aravi in her wolf form? Loved todays episode !!!!

[SubRosa]

Have you noticed that in spite of not being the Mages Guild, the College still uses the same basic eye symbol?

Good old stick in the mud Tolfdir. Dangerous this, volatile that, disaster is inevitable. Let's get started already!

J'zargo is certainly a practical man. Small, valuable things, that easily fit in pockets and will not be missed. Not furthering the racial stereotype that Khajiit are thieves! Not one bit.

Two dragons attacking Winterhold at once? You must be using that same mod liliandra is. It is a good thing that wood and thatch do not burn, otherwise the whole place would have been destroyed!

Here come the dual swords! This will not take much longer. Nope, just about two seconds. Then, there can be only one!

I wanted to laugh when I saw the screen say "You feel comfortable" as Aravi is standing beside the dragon skeleton!

[mALX]

It is a good thing that wood and thatch do not burn, otherwise the whole place would have been destroyed!

SPEW !!! Someone owes me a monitor!

That screenshot! Wow. How did you even think of that one? Really neat.

Dragons!! Two dragons in Winterhold, that was awesome. Mages shooting fire and ice, plus the guards finally doing something other than harass the town’s only visitor. That Thalmor guy was even in on the fight! I loved the peek-a-boo around and through that ruined house. That was way more exciting than a lecture! All of the college kids are going to want to hang out with Aravi now.

I like that angle with the three Khajiit during the lecture.

[Acadian]

Have you noticed that in spite of not being the Mages Guild, the College still uses the same basic eye symbol?

Yes! I noticed that in the last vid when she joined the College and again in this one.

I loved sitting in on the magic lesson with the impatient college kids.

J’Zargo: “May you walk on warm sands.”
Next scene: Aravi trudging through a freaking blizzard! Brrrr!

Oh, how funny for that dude in the dark robes to calmly stroll by Aravi and the dead fire dragon as she is absorbing its soul! I bet most of those arrows she recovered from its body were hers!

Yikes, the werewolf is one scary looking cat! Aravi, what big teeth you have.

[Lycanthropic-Legend]

Awesome! I love Aravi in wolf form! She did well to choose Lycanthropy to combat her vampirism. It was interesting that her body had built an immunity to mundane manners of a cure.

I loved the video and the dragon battle was epic! They always pop out at the most unescessary times, hehe.

[King Coin]

@mALX: She got the other dragon too, I just didn’t record that one. It was in the middle of the road and she got some loot from it. Be sure that I would show the loot if it was something very interesting.

Yep, that’s Aravi as a wolf. Thanks mALX!

@SubRosa: That first lecture by Tolfdir makes me think of the Harry Potter books every time.

Whew! Just imagine if those buildings were built out of combustible materials! The whole town would be gone!

Just a dead dragon. No biggie. Thanks SubRosa!

@Grits: Thanks on the screenie! How’d I think of it? I’m not even sure. I was looking at the wolf in 3rd person and decided to get a close shot of the face.

Aravi went around the corner of that ruined house and though Sh--! I thought it was funny the Thalmor was pitching in even. Aravi naturally went to stand with the other Khajiit when she saw him. Thanks Grits!

@Acadian: I think that eye is kind of a universal symbol of magic. It is kind of neat that it showed up here as well though.

On J’Zargo: That seems to be the way most Khajiit in Skyrim bid farewell. It’s the thought that counts, right? Thanks Acadain!

@LL: It was very effective at getting rid of her vampirism, but she’s just traded one set of problems for another! At least she only has to deal with this one once in a while. Her vampirism problems were truly bad in Cyrodiil. Thanks LL!

##############################

Aravi’s arrived in Markarth for the first time, and I’ve taken a few screen shots.

Resting

In front of the palace (my favorite)

Research

And I don’t know why I’m posting this one; I really don’t like how it turned out. I’m going to retry this one later.

[mALX]

I can't pick a fave in this bunch, I love them all !! (including the one you didn't like) !! That posing mod is awesome, this is like a glimpse of Aravi and Kharjo in their private moments! What city/player house is that? All Awesome Shots !!!

[liliandra nadiar]

Research

Aravi: Khajiit could have sworn that nightshade is not supposed to be part of bread mixture....
Kharjo: *nomnomnom* ! ... ?

this one

Kharjo: This is thinking Khajiit is being too stubborn again.

Love the screenies. Aravi looks rather happy to pose in from to the Palace.

I also recently found an amusing Khajiit song that made me think of Aravi. here

[Acadian]

I love them all! That elven(?) armor looks stunning on Aravi. So nice to see her relaxing with K-Kat.

Curse you liliandra! Now that wonderful sneaky song will be stuck in my head all day!

[SubRosa]

I think my favorite of those is that last one. It looks like A&K just had an argument.

[Grits]

Here’s another like for the last one. I love how they look somewhat peeved with each other. Their friendship is strong enough to withstand some disagreements!

My favorite is Research, though. It’s like catching a glimpse of them just going about their lives.

LOL, liliandra!
