Red-Eyed Raven Options

Out of the frying pan into the fire!

I liked how you take us through the emotional swings Diressi experienced in a relatively short time. From despair to elation at the discovery of the caravan, to fear of the wolves, to relief at finding a familiar landmark, back to fear and despair at being captured by Stormcloaks. And still hungry on top of it all!

Once again, we see the importance of that little raven doll.

‘...a two day Guar ride from the city of...’ - - I like it when the opportunity presents to use setting-friendly ‘units of measurement’ like this. A great way of reminding us that we’re not in Kansas, Toto.

From their perspective, I figure the wolves were just politely asking Diressi to 'surrender her kill'. Wise choice of her to yield to their numbers. She probably wasn't going to eat those Khajiit anyway.

Back to the road – and all the good, bad and ugly that it can bring. In this case, a rather unwelcome escort. Before this encounter, she was unsafe but her fate was in her hands. Now she is 'safe' (for the moment) but control of her own fate has been stripped from her.

So, not going to Helgen. I like this story already!

I'd been ignoring this as another Morrowind story, until I noticed that it wasn't. (I haven't played MW, so I don't know the background except where it's revealed in the later games). I'll have to keep up with this one, as it's absorbing so far.
