@SubRosa: I wanted to give Kharjo a unique ability and I thought that his time spent traveling the roads with the caravans would be an excellent reason for him to have a familiar. Aravis ashamed of her past even though she had no say in what she had to do, so it took something of her to share that with Kharjo. Thanks SubRosa! @LL: What a wonderfully creative line! Kharjo was excited about his summoning, so Im glad it gave you a laugh. Glad you liked the story of her past. Sounds like youve got some Morrowind plans as well, looking forward to them whenever they are complete! Thanks LL! @Acadian: Aravi found that story difficult to tell despite how good of a friend Kharjos been to her. I agree with what you say about speech patterns and its very nice for me that Aravi turned out that way. She would have spoken like a Khajiit if thats what her past was though. The passage you highlighted was my favorite. Thanks Acadian! @Grits: I think I need to tell more of JRenrijs story too! Presenting a scene like this can be difficult as Im sure you know, but Aravi and Kharjo really took over the writing when I started.  I thought the little hand clasp was silly, but Aravi is still not ready for much more. Thanks Grits! @mALX: You would think that it would be difficult, but Aravi really took over the writing when I got into her story. Ill have to add more on Kharjo and his wolf. Thanks mALX! ################################# Aravi speaks to the Colleges librarian about Elder Scrolls.6:10 ################################# Books: Effects of the Elder ScrollsRuminations on the Elder Scrolls############################### Just a question to you, Ive been updating this thread with a video or a chapter every third day (and screen shots in between if I have them) and while I like doing that, do you all like this pace? Should I add another day to the wait period? Im also not going to post screen shots on off days anymore.

Drevis makes me want to create a benevolent a Dunmer scholar. Urag could use some additional conversational responses: Screw you, *smack,* and WTF? Sounds like a trip to the ice fields. *shiver* Im good with your current posting pace. When I read/view on my Kindle it sometimes takes me a little while to get back to my laptop and comment, but I always know I can catch up. I love how much your screen shots add to the characters. There is so much detail that I dont see in the videos or in my games, and you really create moods in your screen shots. And I would love to read more chapters!!

Drevis reminds me of this skit from Amazon Women on the Moon. Wow, Aravi is swimming in cash! 35k! Most of my characters blow it all on houses or training before ever getting that much. "The greatest thief in the world wouldn't even be able to lay a finger on it."This had me laughing. It would certainly be the Ultimate Heist, that is for certain!  Septimus Signus eh? Hrafn remembers him. She bumped into him by accident on the ice. It looks like Aravi is going for a cold swim... I think your schedule is just fine. Unless you are having trouble keeping up with it, I suggest not changing it. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Jul 30 2012, 09:34 PM

Orcs and books=Norc. I loved the update, and the music in the beginning brings back so many memories. Real throwback to Oblivion. Oh oh! Aravi is going to meet that crazy hermit guy that works for that giant Daedric blob! The quest for the Elder Scroll begins! Keep posting whenever it is convenient for you. We'll be here and we will keep reading. Your updates are good because not only are they entertaining and great, they're kept in a good size.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

@Everyone: So it sounds like my posting pace is acceptable for everyone. Ill keep it then. Ill keep doing screen shots, but Im not posting them separate anymore. @Grits: I like Drevis too. Aravi likes him despite lying to him about his spell, though she thought he was trying to be funny and not serious. Urag seemed to be in a good mood, he didnt threaten to kill anyone with elementals this time. Thanks Grits! @mALX: You wouldnt have gotten that quest because it is part of the main quest! Aravi will be fine on the ice; she packed plenty of essentials for the trip. Im not going to quit doing screen shots, but I will have to post less of them just because Im combining them with other posts. Thanks mALX! @SubRosa: Nice skit, I liked it when the bar lady yelled to the room, Here comes the invisible man again!  I thought of the exact same thing when the Orc mentioned the thief. Definitely a nod to the TG quest in Oblivion. Aravi does have a tendency to hang onto her money when she gets it. I think shes around 55k right now Thanks SubRosa! @Acadian: I forgot about the seller in Leyawiin! Aravi never visited that town very much, it wasnt a nice place for Khajiit. Thanks Acadian! @DE: Im glad you noted the music, I put that track in to play. There wasnt any ambient music when Aravi went in there, so I decided to throw some in the video. Aravi might not meet the blob, bringing the lexicon to the crazy guy is low on her priorities. Perhaps later she will. Thanks DE! ########################### Aravi travels out to the ice fields north of Winterhold in search of Septimus.7:03 NOTE: I skip Septimus dialog because he is insane and drones on for 10 minutes. Basically, he tells her where she can find an Elder Scroll. Go to the bottom of a specific Dwemer ruin and then go deeper.

55k? Aravi must sleep on a mattress stuffed with gold! I agree with Grits on the glacier noises. I love how they groan and creak, and make you wonder if they whole thing is going to come crashing down. At least the weather cleared up once Aravi got away from Winterhold. There is a screen tip that says Windhelm is the snowiest place in the province, but Winterhold's weather is set to 100% snow storm, and has no other possibilities. They found that ruin with the skeletons. And Kharjo summoned his Familiar! I wonder if the dwemer lockbox is hiding Septimus' sanity as well...

@Grits: Those glacier noises are really cool, but you are right, they made Aravi nervous. The ice fields really are very interesting to explore. Theres a shipwreck and a guardian stone up there and some other stuff too. Lots of valuable ore to be had for any miners. The guardian stone was very tricky for Aravi to get because there was no way to get there without swimming. Wow I missed that shrug, thanks for pointing it out!  Thanks Grits! @SubRosa: 61k now.  She had more, but then she bought some stuff and got some light armor training. Good thing all that gold doesnt weigh anything isnt it? Aravi can clear the weather in Winterhold with a shout! I like it even better than the weather power in the Shivering Isles. I was pleased when Kharjo started using his summon after I added it to his spell list. I didnt have to do anything to his AI to get him to use it. Aravi might be back at that ruin with the skeletons much later. Thanks SubRosa! @mALX: I love the music in all TES games, and that one you pointed out is an absolute favorite. Yep, thats one tent option. Aravi usually carries two small tents instead of the big one because they weigh less, but she and Kharjo needed to share a tent to share heat. I believe that is what Septimus says. Aravi might go back to him, she is kind of interested in that big Dwemer block, but she has no plans yet. Thanks mALX! @Acadian: It was very chilly, Aravi had to stop a few times to build a fire and warm up! Thanks Acadian! ################################ Aravis decided after the freezing cold of the ice fields, that she would like to go to the much more mild Riften Hold. Before she leaves, she gets to know some of the other students at the Winterhold College. 6:33 ################################ Screen shots! In the ReachTorchlight

Well, collage is the time for 'experimentation' Aravi's not sticking around much beyond this I assume.  Take heart Aravi, you'll always have the fond memories of... uh... blowing up? Turning green? Being a dog? ...  Yeah, never mind, run kitty, run!

@SubRosa: I really enjoyed Brelynas test spells. Aravi on the other hand Thanks SubRosa! @Grits: There are so many times where I just have to stop and take a screen shot, like with the mist and the sun just over the mountain! Aravi might have tested Jzargos scrolls on her own, but that was a while ago so I cant remember what she did exactly. Poor Aravi was a little shocked by the spells, she did run back to her room after that. Thanks Grits! @liliandra: Aravis definitely going to be scarce after this!  Thanks liliandra! @Acadian: Glad you like the Reach screen shot too! Winterhold could use Kud-Ei, Im not sure if Aravi would have helped Brelyna if she knew they were going to be that bad! Thanks Acadian! @mALX: I thought of Vilja as well! Aravis going to leave the College for a while I think. Thanks mALX! ######################### Back down by Whiterun, Aravi and Kharjo stay a night at a hunters camp. The hunter tells her of a cave nearby that rogue mages have taken over. Aravi takes care of it, and learns a new word in the process.11:42 Sorry about the length. The next several are shorter, I promise.

Nice to see Aravi in her warm-weather armor. I really enjoyed her stealthy solo mission. What a fun dipsplay of her shooting. Wow, that place was loaded with traps! Bitter Ice is an excellent name for an enchanted blade. That circle of oil was a bad place to be standing when the flame atronach showed up!  I loved Aravi's nimble retreat and quick recovery. Woo hoo, she got the last Word! Excellent Shout!! I like the pace of this video. It reflects the cautious way she must have crept through the whole dungeon without showing every step.
