Where Are You Today? Options

[Renee]

It’s fun to check hours slept and ingredients eaten against game hours.

Yeah it is. I'm rather obsessed with little stats like this (can't ya tell? lol). The thing I like about my elf is she's constantly eating, and is not afraid to eat something raw. She'll pick up mushrooms, monkshood, St. John's wort nectar, lavender, etc. She just eats this stuff raw, making all her hirelings cringe! :yuck:

6:59 am, Morning Star 14, 4th Era 5

"You really enjoy this whole hero thing, don't you? Everybody fawning all over you? I'm not like that"

.. says Urnsi Serethi, one of two Dunmer sisters who dwells within the Aleswell Inn. Urnsi had been hearing from several travelers (who had stopped by the Aleswell for a night or two) about the blonde Bosmer elf, who had been dungeoneering around Cyrodiil successfully for months now. And apparently, this Bosmer had been in Cyrodiil before, way back in the 3rd Era, which means she must have heard about the dreadful situation with Ancotar, the wizard who had almost ruined their lives with his incessant invisibility spell.

Where were you then, Bosmer, when we were suffering in the dark? .. Customers and travellers had eschewed the Aleswell for months during the period when the entire hamlet of Aleswell had been affected by Ancotar's incompetence. Where were you? Urnsi thinks, glaring at the Bosmer named "Raga" or whatever her damn name is.... Where were you as we were treated like horried haunts? .. And even now, people still avoid the Aleswell! ... While you strut in here with your gold and your fancy armor. Phsst!

"I am feeling not one ounce of compunction towards your past situation, Dunmer. Be it known that had I intuited or had taken orations of the fact, I might have indeed made my way here to Aleswell, and assisted in any such way as I might have seen fit. But as of now, today, and in this fourth era, I have little compunction, as stated."

Lady Saga is surprised by her own tongue-lashing of the Dark Elf before her, but cannot help herself. The Dunmer's words hurt in such a way that she feels it necessary to speak her mind, in this case. She cannot be everywhere at once, after all.

But the situation with this Dunmer and her sister have made Aerin from Valenwood uncomfortable. She leaves her squire's hand (Modryn Oreyn, a fellow Dunmer) to stay the night inside the Aleswell, while she goes outside to structure her tent.

Poor Saga. Being talked down to like that for something she had no control over... I SAY RELEASE THE KRAKEN STORM ATRONACH!!!

[Renee]

Ha ha ha there ya go, that'll teach her!

[Grits]

Lildereth and Jerric slipped back into Cyrodiil at dawn. A tremendous thunderstorm hit pretty much immediately. They’ve taken refuge at the Border Watch Inn. Lil is relieved to be back in one piece. I can tell because she bought all of the inn’s mead and cheese for Jerric.

I think they’ll head north to visit Rimmen and then cut back across Elsweyr (if possible) and home to Anvil. Jerric needs his gear repaired, so they really need to find a blacksmith.

[Renee]

Where did they slip back into Cyrodiil from? .. Where were they?

[SubRosa]

From Skyrim (I think). She has the same characters in both games, so they move back and forth between provinces.

[Acadian]

Or perhaps from Elsweyr, since Border Watch is so close to the border and I know Grits has the Elsweyr mod running. We'll just have to wait for Grits to tell us for sure!

[mirocu]

We´re also waiting for you to give someone the cake in Caption This!, Acadian..

Lothran is in Skingrad at the moment. I think... Haven´t paid him a visit now for some time. Sorry, bud..

[Acadian]

Oh, thanks for the reminder, mirocu. Done.

Buffy's up in that other province (the cold one) at the moment trying to survive.

Once we get her sorted out up there, I hope/expect she'll move between the provinces as easily as Grits' characters do.

[Grits]

Acadian is correct, Lildereth and NPC Jerric have been adventuring in Elsweyr through an Oblivion mod. They crossed the Elsweyr-Cyrodiil border near the Cyrodiil town of Border Watch in Blackwood. (The town built on a hillside with all of the Khajiit.)

They plan to walk north to Fort Namore and cross back into Elsweyr (same Oblivion mod) to visit Rimmen. Then they’ll walk northeast through Elsweyr to Riverhold if the terrain allows it. From Riverhold they’ll cross back into Cyrodiil and travel northwest through the West Weald until they hit the Gold Road. Mostly they want avoid the Strid River gorge. Then it’s home to Anvil.


SubRosa is correct that Lildereth and Jerric also exist in my Skyrim game both as characters and as NPCs. They are the same people living the same lives, they just look different in the two games. Things might get confusing if they ever start adventuring in Elsweyr through the Moonpath Skyrim mod!


Lildereth sends love to her sister Bosmer in the danger-cold zone. Lil recently had an incident with some Elsweyr minotaurs that sent her sprinting back to more familiar forest. Afterward NPC Jerric got up and dusted himself off as if nothing had happened, but Lil does not bounce back so quickly. She finds that exploring new lands can sometimes get a little too exciting!

[Renee]

Saga is in Skingrad. She brought Modryn Oreyn with her but Maglir is nowhere to be found. I figured he would have returned here by now (safe and sound).

Last we saw him, Saga had told him to 'collect ingredients nearby', and this was somewhere up in the Great Forest, days or maybe even weeks ago. So we have no idea where is he is. I know we can just use the console to send him back to Skingrad (safe and sound), but I'm kinda tempted to find the man by going up to the Hackdirt area where he wa last seen.

I was wrong, Lothran wasn´t in Skingrad but down by the Gold Coast and is slowly working his way back to Anvil

[Renee]

Lady Saga camped outside of Rock Bottom Cave. When she woke up, she found Bralsa Anderen in her bed! Although I am RPing it a certain way, it's odd because the shrine Bralsa is supposed to stand by is nowhere near the area where Saga camped.

She really must have wanted a bed, and a fellow elf to share it with.

Renee, how funny to find Bralsa had invited herself to spend the night. I wonder where Maglir went.

mirocu, that’s where Lildereth and Jerric are headed. They’ll keep an eye out for a white-haired Dunmer on the road.


Lildereth got Jerric’s gear repaired in the ancient city of Rimmen. They didn’t hang around there for long, though. Lil headed up the hill to show Jerric the views of Leyawiin and Bravil. Under that tree on top of the hill is just about as happy as she’s ever been. She had just achieved Apprentice level in both Restoration and Destruction (leopard attack), but I doubt that had anything to do with it.

Possibly she was still in a good mood from the extended frolic in the waterfalls outside Rimmen. There was an Argonian swimming around in one of the pools, and she swam right up to chat with him. When she feels safe she can be quite playful.

They also found a shrine to Khenarthi, the Khajiit aspect of Kynareth. Though Jerric has made a commitment to Akatosh he will always be Kyne’s child. Lil and Jerric agreed that the Khajiit picked a pretty good spot for her (or his to the Khajiit) statue.

They are presently on a hillside overlooking Silorn having slightly missed their path. Lil did some community pruning in Rimmen and filled her alchemy pouch with nightshade. Jerric would like to pick up some more flax seeds. I expect he’ll use that excuse to poke around the ruin.

[Acadian]

Renee, that's funny about Bralsa!

Grits, Rimmen looks great! I'm glad that Illiana was able to add it to her 2014 version of the mod.

[Renee]

Is that the Elsweyr province? It's looking really good. I love how it includes Cyrodiil in the background, that really adds so much. That swim near the waterfall sounds fun.

I have no idea where Maglir is. Last we saw him, he was just north of Hackdirt. Saga told him to go pick some ingredients and the man just vanished. I am tempted to use the console to dial him up, but I kinda want to search the Hackdirt area first. It'll be hilarious if he comes running up with like a thousand steel entomas or something!

[mirocu]

Can you really give him orders or is it imagination? Since nowadays you use mods I have to ask..

[Grits]

Yep, they were standing in Illiana’s Elsweyr mod for those screens.

The only issue I’ve seen so far in the new part is a missing sign texture. Lil and Jerric stopped in at the Rimmen Mages Guild, Merchants Guild, and market area, but they didn’t spend the night or talk to every NPC. Once the weather cleared up they both wanted to get going.

[Acadian]

mirocu, I don't want to speak for Renee, but vanilla followers will not gather ingredients without mods. So I suspect she is using a follower/recruiting mod.

I have the Companion Share and Recruit (CSR) mod. In it you can give followers some basic orders that include gathering ingredients. I tried it once, but got nervous as the follower began ranging farther and farther away as they frantically gathered ingredients. I was afraid of how far afield they might go so Buffy chased after them and told them to resume following instead.

What we mostly use CSR for is for going on outings with pals. Like dinner with a guildmate, hunting with Daenlin, or even escorting Sir Mazoga and her squire from where they live at Cloud Ruler Temple to wherever they need to go and back.


Buffy crossed the border northbound at Pale Pass and has been wandering the tundra since, gradually figuring out how to survive.

[mirocu]

That CSR mod sounds nifty, even to the point where I *might* consider getting it!

Oh, Buffy. Couldn´t you have waited until Lothran was up there? Why go there now??
