So far as I know, infections can occur over and over again. Each instance must be healed within a certain time frame (three Nirn days?) or it will morph into full-fledged Vampirism. Now, if you indeed neglect the cure and become a Vampire, there is a long drawn-out procedure you must follow to rid yourself of the disease. That's the cure that, when administered, prevents you from becoming a vampire ever again. I don't how this final cure affects the pre-disease infection, my avatar not having let himself fall victim to Vampirism in either of my plays-through.

-Decrepit-

You can cure yourself, by using Cure Disease. But you can contract it again. Only by doing the long, torturous quest (sometimes super buggy on console) that Decrepit is talking about will ever prevent you from getting it again. Last night in Memorial Cave, my character contracted this three times in a row. Stupidly in hindsight, he cured himself every time by eating a mandrake root right there when I saw the message. Instead, he should of waited until he finished the place, to just eat one root and save the rest for some other time, as it was well within 3 days. Just check your active effects after dealing with vampires. Always.

It was indeed a Orc, seeing as both men never kissed anyone before it was extremely awkward with the tusk and all. And no it was not Bugak, it would be somewhat awkward if it were though, Jericho has no idea how to read or write!
They are both in the awkward dating stage right now, although they are not officially "dating" at this moment, they enjoy each others company but neither of them knows how to advance to the next step of the relationship

And that's one way to find out you paint both sides! Jericho has always known he liked men, but has never acted on those feelings until now

Anyway Jericho and that Orc have just arrived at Bruma, VERY cold, both of them have several lairs of fur armor on , they are not used to the cold!

Eleanor has assumed the position of Arch-Mage of the Mage's Guild, defeated Mannimarco and destroyed the Order of the Worm.
Following the events after the destruction of the Bruma hall, the Council of Mages shattered and the Guild began to crumble. Through Traven's own sacrifice, the guild has been restored, but at a high price.

Although Raminus had sent word to each guild hall of Eleanor's appointment, she still wants to visit each hall and ensure that everything is running smoothly. She's currently in Chorrol, the Gold Road leg of her tour (consisting of the Skingrad, Anvil and new Kvatch guild halls) having already been completed.
She's also received a letter from High Chancellor Ocato - in exactly 24 days, the 433rd year of the 3rd Era will come to a close. Ocato wants her to be present at the proclamation of the Fourth Era, both in her capacity as Champion of Cyrodiil, which is mostly ceremonial, and in her position as Arch-Mage, which requires her to weave the binding magics which will truly end the third era. She sees the new era as fitting - the Third era began with the first Septim emperor, and ought to end with the last Septim Emperor.

Today was a big day for Lothran. He went to see Jensine as he had heard about this new tent she had in store. As an adventurer by class he had long sought for just that kind of temporary wilderness home and after the usual chit-chat he got it for a very reasonably prize, and he was eager to try it out

He had high expectations on his new acquisition and he set off to the south, past the shrine to Clavicus and all the way down until he almost was at the Isolated House. There he set up camp as night was falling, and he explored the immediate area and collected some flax.

The tent in question was above and beyond his expectations! A bit cramped but very cozy and lots of storage inside. Jensine said there was quite a bit of magic involved with this tent but she knew about Lothran′s status in the Mages Guild so she had told him not to worry about that.

Now Lothran rests inside the tent and will wait for dawn when he probably will set off to Skingrad again.

Which tent did you end up downloading?
And I'm glad Lothran enjoyed his night in his new tent!

What do you mean, "downloading"? He bought it from Jensine Heh, but ok it was Simple Portable Tent

Oh, sorry! That's the tent Eleanor and Fergus use. Not very often, but when they leave a dungeon and find its nighttime, or just want to get out of the city for a while, they'll use their simple portable tent.

Jensine must be grinning from ear to ear. My decrepit avatar recently bought one of those tents too. Like Eleanor, he doubts it will see much use. He very seldom strays far from the road these days. Those few times they do venture into the wilds they almost always manage to find a campsite with several tents. Still, it's good to know they have an alternative handy should the need arise.

As to my avatar's recent activities, he just returned to Weye after having completed a patrol of the Blue to Cheydinhal.

Something unsettling occurred in a cave in the mountains not terribly far from Cheydinal, where they had gone upon patrol completion on the slim chance of finding a Chalice. They found no Chalice but instead an unpleasant encounter from my avatar's past. Cultists. Cultists in red robes and hoods. Yes, those Cultists. My avatar was flabbergasted to say the least. Maybe he should have expected it, the cave being what it was. How they escaped detection until now is anyone's guess.

It gets worse.

Upon spotting the first red-clad figure in the gloom my avatar and Vilja crouched, drew weapons and proceeded to stealthily approach the foe. They were soon positioned behind him. As is his practice with "humanoids", my avatar stood and declared his presence in hope that the villain would choose to surrender or at least offer a clean and honorable fight. Only, this Cultist was not in a fighting mood. Indeed he proved a right friendly chap. This confused my avatar to no end. Where was the fanaticism such folk displayed in times past? Where the burning desire to administer death and destruction on a grand scale?

You must understand that while my avatar deals out death to miscreants of the Empire on an almost daily basis, he is at heart a man of peace, physically harming none who themselves forswear violence. The Cultist offered no resistance. My avatar therefore felt constrained to stay his sword.

Was the Cultist's change of heart sham or reality? On the surface it seemed heartfelt. Even Vilja, so often rash in the heat of battle, saw no wrong in the man. By now my avatar was becoming rather uncomfortable and decided to think on the matter as they explored more of the cave. As feared, the Cultist wasn't alone. Turns out a good many of his brethren were holed up in that cave. All seem sane, reasonable individuals.

My avatar can't decide what to do about it. His first thought was that if they have indeed reformed it is his duty to reintroduce them into society. But no, that won't cut it. While the Cultists might be ready to make peace with the world, it is highly doubtful that the world is ready to make peace with them.The Cultists likely sense this thus lock themselves away from society. Assuming, of course, that they haven't pulled the wool over my avatar's eyes and are even now plotting nefarious schemes to bring down the Empire.

While my avatar is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt ... for now ... he reluctantly accepts that it is probably best that they remain in their self-imposed prison.

-Decrepit-

Hark! The red robes are eternally evil. There is no redemption in their world. Beware, Decrepit, it’s a trap. They lure you into their lair and soon they will spring the trap upon you and Vilja. Dust upon the floor of their den you will be. Beware the red robes. Once evil, always evil!

Sounds like a very interesting encounter, Decrepit. I think he did the right thing, circumstances being what they were. However, should they prove they had indeed tricked your decrepit crusader, then no mercy shall be shown upon their sorry [censored]!

Exactly! Them robes are always evil.
RIght now Jericho is going through Shinbone Cave, remember kids, always keep a backup weapon, Jericho's Silver Sword broke, leaving him with just a silver dagger and a bow with no arrows. :3
Thank the nine Jericho knows how to use at least a beginner healing spell, and being born under the Lord healing spells come easily to him, although he lacks the deep mana reserves...for now...

I just noticed one thing for the first time, in the caverns you can hear the sound of flies around a corpse o.o, well in this dungeon have not heard it in other dungeons.

Edit, went to The Best Defense to sell some items, Gin-Wulm was there, freaked me out, "Good to see you." he said in the most creepy way possible.

"I'm so happy to see you I could burst!" Said the random lady that Jericho has never seen before.

Something very strange happened last night. Lothran set up camp at another location and went away to scout the area. To be sure he found his tent again he first placed his marker right in the middle of it before he set off.

When he later returned... the tent was gone! It was nowhere to be found! So now he sits at a rock, trying to figure out what to do next...

That was so...not me...nope, nope not at all, And hey I magically got a new tent...magically.

That is odd! Jensine DID warn him it involved quite a bit of magic, didn't she?

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! oh wait, wrong thread

Yeah, but she didn′t say it would vanish so he had to buy it again. That′s not the way of an honest merchant!

You're not gonna say who it is? Awww!

At least I was right! I knew it had to be an orc! I was hoping it was Bugak...

"Buy a [censored] book! It's a bookstore, ain't it?"

"My...you're looking mighty....big and strong. Yet you're an intellectual!? OH my!"

"Are you gonna stand there all day? I'm Bugak gro-BOl and I say buy a [censored] book!"

"What say we take this....in the back room?"


Sorry! just having a little fun,
.

Very interesting. Something like this happened to my Skyrim character the other day. She expected a fight from a necromancer who merely let her pass. He even gave a generic non-confrontational greeting when she spoke to him. I love when this sort of thing happens, it totally changes the roleplay.

I only encountered one "friendly" bandit in Oblivion that I can remember, just outside of Cheydinal. Dyan phor a'Cauz the paladin met a bandit on the road who did not attack her. Since my game is vanilla, I chalked that one up to a glitch. But in Skyrim, I think the friendly necromancer was somehow purposely programmed in that way. Somehow.
.

There is a bandit, when if you do not have the 100 gold, will be friendly to you forever, or until he dies and is replaced by a meaner bandit. Or you get more than 100 gold. I try to keep this guy alive, as it is nice to be greeted by him on my travels.

Lothran don′t mind paying them, although he could beat them easily. It′s nice to go back and say hi to them.

Even more funny, sometimes he bribes them to like him which costs alot more than their ransom demand!

Lothran is currently stumped. His new, shiny (well..) tent is gone!

He set it up at another location than in the pictures and went for a walk. He searched an Ayleid ruin close to Skingrad and went from there in an arc north-east-south back to where his marker told him his tent was.

And lo and behold it was gone! My dear elf just stood there, wondering who could have taken it in the middle of nowhere! There was a Spriggan close by and Lothran thought about questioning her, but decided to not bother with it and head for Skingrad instead.

So now he sits at The West Weald Inn, thinking about his tent and where it might have gone...

Yikes, a wandering tent! My crew will keep an eye out for it. I hope there wasn’t anything too important in those barrels!

No, there wasn′t. The tent was new enough so he hadn′t had the time to put valuable stuff in it. Only a few flax seeds were lost but more importantly, a nice tent was too

Sounds like you're talking about a highwayman? If so, that's not what I was talking about up above. Dyan met a regular bandit. A Redguard female. I'll never forget it. She had a weapon and everything, but did not attack.

Just the fact that it was a female, not a male. Highwaymen are always males. IF that's what you're talking about....

He was, considering the amount mentioned. Highwaymen always demand 100 gold. But your female bandit was a treat, wasn′t she? I too always love those unexpected encounters, when you "know" a certain thing will happen and it doesn′t!
