Acadian: Nykteria was born under the Serpent, so she takes no extra damage from magic. She just has a very low endurance. I only raised it a few times. It was about 40 at this point.
liliandra nadiar: You are right about that reflect, that is what was hitting Nykie so hard those times. The lich only hit her with a few effects from his staff, otherwise he mostly ignored her and concentrated on her skeleton - Rattle.
King Coin: That was a pile of magic effects going at one time wasn't it? Most of it was buffs, like a fortify magicka potion she drank before the fight. Plus restore magicka and healths, a shield or two, etc... Erandur hit her with something that was up there too, although I am still not sure what it was.
If I had a way to take a player character face and put it on an npc I would put Nykteria there in the chapel. I could make her a conjuration trainer. That would be a cool thing to do with all my former characters.
Grits: You know what surprised me is how few necromancer dungeons there are in Oblivion. I made a list of them all, and it only came out to half a page. My Ayleid Ruin list was over twice that. Although granted, some of the necro lairs are only accessible by doing the Mages Guild quest. 181 kills is quite a bit for only about 20 or so dungeons. I bet all those robes would look a lot less funny then 181 watermelons in the Arch Mage's bedroom!

I started
Varla a little while ago, but have been mostly working on mods lately, rather than playing. But she did get to Belda and Nagastani in the last few nights.
Here she is playing tag with zombies in NagastaniI am thinking that I might do the Ayleid Steps with her. Or that other Ayleid mod out there
I forget what it was called, the Lost Spires. She has not found a home yet. She might take over one of the smaller Ayleid ruins like Sercen. Or she might settle down in Red Rose Manor. I recently downloaded the newest version of that. I remember it from Aravi's videos, and liked it there.
