Last few posts in last thread:

The Bruma house is very nice. You can always drop some torches in the fireplace to make a fire if you don't want to mod it.

Skarsgard has left Cheydinhal. He had a bit of fun on the road, the results of which http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1368244-more-screenies/page__view__findpost__p__20679284 Enjoy him, he's heading up to Bruma next which means no more shirtless pics for a while!

Newlands Lodge gets 4/5, since he had some great conversations there and there were lots of people to talk to. (Of course, the kiss he received from the proprietor had nothing to do with it. Honest.)
Cheydinhal Bridge Inn gets a slightly lower score, at 3/5. It was a bit boring, and there weren't many people.

I agree, Cheydinhal Bridge Inn can be somewhat boring. Some of my characters preferred this place, however, as it has a suite with lots of room, instead of a dinky square. Some of my chars preferred the more robust atmosphere of Newlands, though.

Lady Mara, I appreciate the notes on the two Cheydinhal Inns. Buffy always stays with her fellow mages there so we are not very familiar with them. The MG guild hall there has just the nicest layout - a beautiful fireplace in the upstairs quarters and plenty of beds and privacy in the well-lit basemant. Plus, anytime you put an Argonian woman in charge of something, nice things happen (Deetsan, Seed Neeus, Kud-Ei, Tar-Meena).

Lothran sent Buffy a letter from his Bravil home a while ago. He has good faith in their joint Summon Kyne spell and knows she will find Buffy well

Now, if only he could get off his chair and go back to the University. He needs to update another spell and then head to Skingrad again.

I'll have to download that mod! When Eleanor told Fergus that the Bruma house was their new home, his comment was 'It sure is chilly here! I'll get some logs for the fire!'. Lazy guy never did though ...

The Bruma Guild Reconstruction project is now complete. The burning wreck of the Guild Hall has now been restored and repopulated. Raminus Polus at the Arcane U. must have expedited the hiring of the new mages, because they appeared fairly quickly today. Arch-Mage Baa was pleased with the results. There are now four mages occupying the premises, each with their special skills. Baa was especially pleased to http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh539/tmodel/Baa2012-04-2519-42-23-08.jpg, from whom she immediately bought several ingredients and empty Soul Gems. (That’s Mooch looking on.)

Again, Baa thanks mirocu, glargg, and Decrepit for their inspiration.

Eleanor left Fergus in Bruma while she travelled to Bravil. She'd wanted to visit the two cities on the Niben, but apparently fate didn't want her to do so; never-ending thunder storms, intriguing Ayleid ruins and the old 'Oh actually I want to visit x instead!' mindset meant that she and Fergus never did make the trip. However, this time she finally did.

Upon arriving in Bravil she headed straight to the Mage's Guild and spoke with most of its members. Kud-Ei told her that her friend was missing, and when Eleanor followed her, she ended up in a dream and barely escaped with her life. Go figure. She then visited the Count (she doesn't like the man, but as Champion of Cyrodiil she feels she has a duty to visit the Count(ess) of whatever city she's in. She spent the night in Bravil before heading to Leyawiin. She's currently sitting beside Dagail in the Mages Guild hall, chatting.

On a side note: I went to download the Bruma Fireplace mod (I'd forgotten about it until I logged onto the forums), only to discover that the nexus is down for two hours! Apparently there's going to be a separate site for Oblivion and Morrowind now.

Tmar - I'm so glad that all is right in Bruma again for the Guild of Mages!

Solitudian - How noble of Eleanor to pay a courtesy call on the local Count/Countess when visiting a city. I really like the area she is traveling now. Just a thought on the Bruma house fireplace - If you have Portable Campsite already, you can just buy an extra campfire and toss it in the fireplace there and leave it - or even light/unlight it when you are home or gone. Buffy carries a spare and uses it when visiting places where no one lit the fireplace (like the library in the Chorrol MG).

Bernadette is feeling the pressure of all the treasure she's found in sunderwatch tower, but now she has just finished decorating rosethorn hall and in the process of moving in. There are not enough containers in the world to satisfy her ocd.
She's just contracted Polyphonic hemophilia again however, which is confusing because I was under the impression that once cured it couldn't be a vampire again?

I spent some time with Jerric getting his equipment and spells updated. In the midst of the shopping we discovered that somehow Erthor was still in danger! What the— didn’t we already..? Apparently not. The hazards of one character taking over a console, a laptop, and two different games. Anyway Erthor is safely tucked in with Adrienne, at least until Sulinus gets out of Vigge’s bed. Those mages.


Added: http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/grits29/WithErthor.jpg My attempts to take pictures of my TV while holding the stick down on the controller are gymnastic events. Next time I’m going to get a toe involved.

Erthor looks crestfallen. You look driven.

In ha is now a Knight of the White Stallion, with all the trappings that title brings. Doing some traveling, seeing the world, but not going off the beaten path at the moment. Too scary. That's it really, experimenting with lit torches to light up a part of the lodge better. Bought some books, but been traveling for awhile so haven't had a chance. A meal with my new friend and a good read after dinner on the porch.... is in his near future.

I like that, but I think the torches will do the work next winter too

Acadian: Ah, I've got the Simple Portable Tent. A campfire would be nice though, so perhaps I'll add that one to the 'remember to download!' list. thanks!

mpls: I love White Stallion Lodge - simple but it has what you need, and there's nothing quite like sitting on the porch looking over the river!

Yes, it's my new favorite home. Though sometimes I go the other extreme and go Skingrad or Cheydinhal.

This quest is one of the trippiest game experiences I've ever had



Not bad! Not bad at all

Baa was reading the Oblivion on Hard thread, and since she had never moved her difficulty slider all the way to the right, she decided to try it. In the middle of the night she and companion Mooch went out Chorrol’s North Gate, went into sneak mode, and equipped their enchanted bows. First thing they ran into was a bear. Baa hit it for 3x damage twice before it saw her. It’s health bar didn’t seem to move at all. She hit it once more before it got to her. Mooch cut it down with her Fire 25 sword and the 33% Reflect Damage of her Necklace of Swords.

Next we ran into a Minotaur down at the corner. Baa put her 5 effect poison on an arrow and hit it from long range for the 3x multiplier. The Minotaur went down from the paralyze part of the poison, but after a short while it got back up. Baa was so far away it couldn’t locate her, just standing there or moving a few feet. After maybe 10-15 seconds it fell over dead.

Next was the Bandit just around the corner of the road. Shot him from a very long range with regular arrows and from stealth. Hit him with 25 Fire 6 or 8 times, all with 3x multiplier. Knocked his health down about 25%. Then he saw me and moved closer and started pounding Baa with arrows. Baa’s health was down half way after just a few hits, so she did a couple of health potions. Baa and Bandit continued to exchange shots. http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh539/tmodel/Baa2012-04-2613-09-18-89.jpg, and Mooch shot her in the back twice during the fight. Finally, the Bandits health bar was about gone when an Imperial Soldier arrived to finish killing him. Baa hit the Bandit 21 times.

Baa had made a quick save just before she engaged the Bandit so she reverted to it. (Baa shoots from so far away most of the time she never knows for sure who is on the receiving end - so a quick save is always in order.) She did the fight all over again and it was more or less the same, except this time Baa killed the Imperial Soldier by accident. Baa decided this wasn’t her day and went back to Chorrol, reverted to the last Save Game file, moved her difficulty slider back to a little left of default, and went camp jumping with Mooch.

LOL I just did this quest last night. It was very scary! Not so much the battling part, but the other 3 were trippyyyyy!

Jericho just got his first kiss, I won't say from who though.
Granted it was the other guys first kiss too, so there was more slobber than kissing

And on the adventure side, Jericho has been helping out a new Merchant, usually by running SO many errands for that man, next errand is to go to Bruma to deliver furs to the textile merchant. I swear I Metagamed getting all those furs...it took soooo long!

I was going to let Eleanor keep her position as Warlock of the Mage's Guild, but I couldn't resist continuing with the questline - besides, Eleanor spends a lot of time in he university anyway, creating spells and enchanting items.
She was sent to Skingrad, to fetch some information from Count Hassildor. She admires the man, and is honored that he requested that she be sent - she's had dealings with him on a few occasions, and she respects him greatly. He does the best for his people. After retrieving the information from Lord Skingrad - which was grave news indeed - she rode as fast as she could to he University to report to the Arch-Mage.

She then rode to Kvatch - she'd received a letter from the architect there, something about the Arena. She ended up bringing him to the Imperial City in an attempt to convince him to rebuild Kvatch's arena. She succeeded, and while he ran home to Kvatch, Eleanor began the trip to Bruma on the behalf of the Mages Guild ...

Edit: the Bruma Mage's guild hall is no more. Eleanor was too late ... By the time she arrived, the necromancers had slaughtered her guildmates, her friends. Only J'skar remained. She was filled with regret - only a week ago she'd been in the guild hall, chatting with Selena and Jeanne and Volnaro, laughing with them and practicing her destruction spells on Jeanne's summons. If she'd delayed her trip door a week, she could have saved them. The thought of the necromancers walking past her home, on their way to murder her innocent friends sickened her. Until now she'd been fighting the necromancers on the behalf of her guild. Things are more personal now.

Eleanor and Fergus are on the road to the Imperial City, where they will deliver the news to the Arch-Mage.

tmar: you're brave! I tried the harder difficulty with Renee Gade II exactly once. Never ever again will I mess with that [censored].

Solitudian: ahh. that svcks. About the Mage's Guild.


Slobber hmm? Was it an orc, then? Was it http://uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Bugak_gro-Bol

C'mon man! Fess up!

Silvonwe is back at the Imperial City. She's sure that her status as Archmage will get her an audience with Ocato, but she doubts that he will be very helpful; her past dealings with him have been less than satisfactory. She doesn't like the mer very much.

Fitzie is in Skingrad. She was sent there to retrieve a book, but it's not going well. She's considering chucking the whole foolish venture, since further advancement in the Mages Guild is not important to her anyway. ...Or she might just kill that fool Mercator, and hang him up on the Skingrad castle gate...

Awwww please! You can't just say something like that and not tell us who it was! I'll tell you who Skarsgard's first male was. (First female was back in Skyrim when he was a youth.) He realised he painted both sides of the fence after he got drunk with Maro Rufus and woke up next to him. Maro Rufus really puts himself around, he's hit on Rayn before as well.



Now that I'd like to see! The man really gets on my bad side.

I have finally created a character that I feel will stick around for a long time His name is Varus Draconis, he's an Imperial and if you haven't guessed it, is part of the Draconis family. He is a ranger and travels Cyrodiil keeping the wilderness safe and helping those who are in need. His main goal is to make his family name famous again (I roleplay that the Draconis family was once a very famous family in Cyrodiil).

He is currently following the sons of Valus Odiil to help destroy the creatures that plague their farm and after that I think he plans on heading towards Cheydinhal to pick up a Fighters Guild contract

So is Lothran. He left Bravil in the late evening and arrived in the big city at night. He headed first to the University to upgrade a spell to last longer, and then he entered The Merchant′s Inn to wait for the stores to open. Rumor-wise, he heard Jensine has a rather convenient tent for sale...

After making the upgraded spell he now has 4238 golden Septims in his coinpurse. More than enough for the tent he figures, and also to recharge his weapons later on.

I think that the disease can still be caught, but it won't develop into vampirism a second time. You still get the Drain Fatigue effect from the disease, so you still want to cure it to get rid of that.
