Memoirs of a Morag Tong Assassin - Solstheim, Chapter Two: North as the Racer Flies Options

[Darkness Eternal]

I'm not sure how I would feel about an ancient corpse still staring at me after thousands of years.

Freaked out, I bet.

I've been on Nirn for thousands of years. When I drain a man's essence, I take his knowledge with his life force." She said in a low tone not far from my ear. "I can wait a century to take yours."

Hehe, love that part right there.

Overall, an interesting read. I like the battle against the skeletons and the Draugr(Who originally are cannibals, not dragon-serving undead).

[minque]

hehe....very interesting!

I didn't like weapons that seemed to communicate with me.

ROFL...So typically Seth!

SS: "Ok so now you're a graverobber....I hope you know what you're doing my dear"

This needs a S.G.M.....a big one

[Athynae]

Seems Pene may be a pain huh? At times anyway

"What's here is for you, and it calls from deeper inside...do you really not see it?" She said looking down deeper into the barrow.

"No. I don't." I said somewhere between annoyance and an increasing sense of uneasiness.

Like right here, eerie that she sees through the veil.

"It seems its pledging itself to you,...sort of. The soul in the blade has not yet gone into Sheogorath's realm despite being here since the first era. The soul seems to be saying that there is a great...change...no,..event..coming. It says you will need it." She seemed to interpret.

AS-"Uncle Seth please heed the warning!"

Great one, as ever looking forward to more...

[McBadgere]

Ooooh, that was niiiiice... ...

Creepy Barrows!!...

Ancient talking swords!!...

Violence!!...

Hot translating wench in pencil skirt and glasses!!!...Possibly with a cravat...You know the sort?...

What?... ...

Excellent chapter...Genuinely loved it...

The sword sounds excellent...Nicely done that man!!...

Loved this...

What I saw did not make much sense. A man ran naked through a forest with a pack of wolves. A mountain, a pair of circles, one smaller than the other, and what appeared to be the head of a stag. I figured the Ancient Nords must worship animals or something and thought no more of it.

That's Herne Hercine-esque imagery right there, isn't it?...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

[Olen]

More Seth A pleasure as always.

as though the trees feared to move in the barrows presence.

I loved this line, it really captured the eerie still of the grave.

"Disgusting creature!" She said.

Do I sense some backstory? She has been on Nirn for a long time after all so presumably has a fair bit (even if most is devouring people)

He can't keep out of trouble, indeed he wouldn't be Seth if he could. I like how the inability to let a mystery rest and no tolerance for bordom drive his story, it makes it fast and interesting.

[treydog]

…did not sense any of these 'necrotic energies' that she claimed to have seen. However, I did smell an unmistakable scent; that of decay.

I see your occult Seducer abilities, and raise you by a nose.

"I've been on Nirn for thousands of years. When I drain a man's essence, I take his knowledge with his life force." She said in a low tone not far from my ear. "I can wait a century to take yours." she said sweetly.

Something for Dralas to look forward to.

don't know if it was the power of suggestion, but the blade did seem to much more than just sit there. I wanted to hold it, to feel its hilt in my grip, to sink its sharp edge into flesh like a deadly talon.

I didn't like weapons that seemed to communicate with me.

No- because they often seem to have their own agendas. And then come the arguments- and the fights- and someone calls the police- and it all ends in tears- and someone getting stuck into a stone or in a chest at the bottom of the ocean…. Sorry- what?

"It says you prove yourself worthy of it. And I think the test just woke up."

Oops

The fight with the draugr, Pene’s interesting reaction to it… hmm. And then the design on the blade; sorry, Dralas- but I think that will become important.

One day on the island, and I was already a graverobber.

This was just a brilliant installment. I so enjoy his inner dialogue, as well as Pene's "helpful" presence.

He's Baaaack!!!!... ...

And brilliantly too...

Missed this...

Loved the idea of using child tactics to get rid of the pouting hippie... ...(That's a joke and not meant to offend any hippies around here.... ...Now where's me Grateful Dead LPs?)...

Again, brilliantly done...

Nice to see it back...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds most heartily*...

[Athynae]

Reading in bed on the tablet but will comment appropriately tomorrow. I AM OVERJOYED, you are back and the new position is what you wanted.

[Olen]

Loved it. Falco's soluton is great and made me chuckle. Well written for the humour factor too, Pene at the end was funny as ever.

Great to see this continued.

[Athynae]

Ok, finally....RL is a bit stinky of late. It was great to have the infusion of humor from Seth and Pene, much needed.

Yes, the comparison to Team A and A was.....perfect.

I am glad that Seth got to have a moment that distracted him from his recent emotional overload.

Thanks to the powers that be you found a less stressful and time demanding position, congrats on that.

More Seth please, and Pene....and memories

[treydog]

"Well, it seems to me Hroldar is taking the tactics of a spoiled child, so I shan't give in to any demands, as I don't negotiate with little red-haired terrors."

Choking on laughter. Not saying ANYTHING. Nope.

I nearly laughed out loud as I had seen similar scenes between Athynae and Athlain when they were much smaller.

Why is it I have a feeling I know who was being “given the treatment?”

And I simply loved Falco’s solution.

It is wonderful to have you back- along with Seth/Dralas, Pene, and the whole crew. And I hope our wandering assassin will treasure his moments of laughter.

[Colonel Mustard]

I see this has been updated, realised I missed another part and so got to read two new ones in one sitting. I am very happy right now.

All in all, another few good updates; talking swords, the undead, darkly humourous lines from Pene and Falco dealing with angry Skaal were all great reads. Not to mention it was rather interesting to see how hard it can be for Seth to shake old habits as well. That's going to have some repercussions, I think...

[minque]

Ahhh this is GOOD! I liked Falco's way of encounter Hroldar! made me laugh, i could see it before me! And Pene! She must be stunned about the interactions between humans! Oh yes Seth/Dralas....what will be of you? I've said it many times before, but Blackie you DO have a way with words....impressive

Excellent stuff!!...

The pictures were excellent!!... ...

Wonder what happened there...Methinks a plot is afoot!!...

Loving the colony btw...Lovely idea...Could do with moving there meself!... ...

Nice one!!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

[Olen]

Lovely pics as usual and some nice details. Do I see some sort of side plot developing with Veresa Alver? You managed to build her flawlessly into the section and lay out history and some details then move on before I'd really noticed, great bit of writing.

Nice change of pace too, from the frantic disappearance on the mainland to a sleepy time in a growing colony with nothing to dramatic happening (yet...). I suspect that might change soon though.

[Athynae]

All of this was wonderful but the last was the best...seeing Seth in his element, weapons in hand.

[Grits]

I especially enjoyed this update, and I can’t really put my finger on why. Perhaps it’s seeing Seth fitting in as a regular guy, if only briefly. It reminded me of when he was building his manor.

I love the pictures!
