A continuation of where your character is and why.

Lothran is currently in his Bruma house after a little excursion to Skyrim. He found it very peaceful with no sign of any dragons, thankfully

Last thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1251267-where-are-you-now-5/

Why did we need a new one? We are only on page 7.
Also, did Lothran actually go the Skyrim or are you just imagining?

EDIT:Nvm, I only seen the post now

My decrepit avatar's recent actions followed almost exactly the proposed schedule detailed in my final contribution last thread.

He indeed rode from Bravil to Faregyl to deliver wine on commission from Tamiko. (And no, Tamiko wasn't in Bravil but Skingrad as usual. We had accepted the commission and wine package some days prior.) From there they rode to the Priory of the Nine where my avatar deposited the last of his Holy Relics, the Crusader's sword and shield. They rode on to Skingrad, spending the night at its Fighters Guild hall. Next morning they took the easternmost of the two West Roads north to Chorrol, where my avatar returned a recently recovered family heirloom to its rightful owner and restocked their sales shoppe. I believe I left the party in Chorrol, though its possible they have already returned to Weye.

During these journeys my avatar practiced his newly acquired skills as a journeyman armourer on two chance met wandering guardsmen.

Niamh and V have travelled to Anvil ostensibly to locate a hidden cache of Assassin's armour in the basemant of an abandoned house there. This they found, but equally found it not quite to their tastes except for a fun little toy which Niamh appropriated that involves some rather nice upgrades to the old hand-to-hand
Along the way they did some favours for the Daedra involving ridding the world of some Necromancers and freeing some trolls.

Niamh is currently wondering whether to join the Mages' Guild, but they have not got much time because they need to travel east again to "finish up some business"...

[EDIT - 24/12/11] - Niamh and Vilja, after having not joined the Mage's Guild, have left Anvil and are making there up country to Chorrol via the far west of the country, following the river, initially at least. It is there intention to get to Chorrol and then make their way east once more via Bruma and Cheydinhal. This is in part due the needing to find the vendor of a certain house in Anvil that, as it turns out, is not all it seems to be...

Oh yeah, and Niamh is now on foot cursing the loss of a horse that cost her 5,000...

Interesting. She covers up her body with metal plates to protect it, but leaves her bazinga area unprotected. Nice pics altogether, but isn′t there a seperate thread for those

maybe she likes the fresh air.
Yes there is a thread for pix and these are the last that I'll be posting on this one...

Phon's linked images mostly document gameplay more or less as it occurs, supplementing the written (typed) text. I find their inclusion totally legitimate. (I do so myself on occasion.)

My decrepit avatar is forever harping on Vilja for her choice of footwear, those heeled boots of hers being totally impractical for dungeon crawling and in any sort of combat situation. (Ironically, during those occasions when she wears civilian attire and can thus "doll up", she chooses sensible flats. Go figure.) Now if in the real world women folk aways wore such heeled footwear I'd be a happier fellow. But hey, this is fantasy.

-Decrepit-

+1 to all that Decrepit says, but to avoid hassle I've moved the pix to the screenshot thread and will in future just add a link to the appropriate post.
It'll save me from double-posting if nothing else...!

And yes, it is fantasy after all!

I′m sorry if I sounded a bit , not my intention. And I agree with Decrepit that the occasional pic is no harm here. I just thought that with a seperate thread for pics we should use that one for it, and linking to it I like very much

I got what you meant
And yes to be honest i am a great for posting pix so i might as well just link from one to the other. Makes more sense!!

Bazinga! Oh mirocu, you've just made my day!

On a related note, Arum has heard of a fearsome dungeon with an expensive prize, and is feeling slightly over-confident about tackling it. It might be the most dangerous thing he's ever undertaken, and he's taking it far too lightly. I have to say, he's not been very humble lately. Perhaps I should send him on another pilgrimage for the Nine, to remind him how lucky he is.

lol - in fairness I would have said vajayjay but yeah...

Baa was running low on Vampire dust used in the formula to make poison for her arrows, so today she went Vampire hunting. She entered a Vampire lair and killed a few. She then pulled out the Staff of Worms she got from Minnimarco and resurrected one of them and killed him again, getting another Vampire dust. She did this 50 times for 50 Vampire dusts. She went back home and made up a bunch of her five effect poisons to use in the next Oblivion world she enters. Then she went camp jumping just for fun.

Just finished getting my recommendation from Leyawiin. I was going through the guild house, when on the first floor, I noticed an extremely large book. I thought it was a newspaper at first. Now I know that Bethesda loves to play with sizes of items and containers: from the teensy, weensy ammo boxes you find in FO3 to the monstrous sacks in Oblivion. I found a picture book-size copy of the Lusty Argonian Maid. This is the reason for the M rating.

On another note, I was in Pell's Gate and talking to Schlera Sestius. What is she wearing on her head, and where can I get one? And, happy holidays y'all.

She wears a leveled light armor helmet. So it depends on your level. If you are still doing recommendations, I am guessing you are at low level, and it is probably a fur or leather helm.

And on a side note, her ID in the construction set is SchlerusSestius, so I think she is a T-girl.

Maybe her parents wanted a boy. That could explain her tomboy style.

Hmmm. I'm not a murderer. And the skin would probably change on a guy.

Well, you don't have to kill her to get the helmet. You can just go buy one in a shop.

The textures for the male and females are actually the same. I created a new race, with new textures, recently, and found out. Both sixes share the same face texture file. That is why female characters can get mustache and beard shadows. It is in the texture. The body textures are different however. The meshes for cuirasses and greaves often change with your six, but IIRC the helmets are always the same

Which shop, pray tell? I'm level 3 almost 4, if that's any indication.

I think the Best Defense is probably a good bet, as the one fella there sells light armor. Or any other place that sells light armor. You might also try raiding bandit lairs, one of them is bound to be wearing one.

My decrepit avatar is standing in a steady rain just inside the Imperial City Talos District entrance gate. He is about to exit the city, return to Weye, gather Vilja and the rest, and hit the road for Anvil, with stop en route to deliver several mercantile packages in Skingrad.

Despite the lenghy real-life time lapse, they've done little between reports. Their return from Chorrol was uneventful. One troll attacked them just outside Fort Ash. It was easily disposed of. Once home in Weye Vilja out of the blue piped up and complained that she never got to make decisions and wanted to decide where they traveled next. Seeing as they had no official or private commitments to tie them down at the moment my avatar aquiesced. She led him to Fort Nikel, a ruin not far from Weye. They entered and rid the fort of its unsavory denizens. Spoils taken from chests and corpses made the venture worthwhile.

That done they returned to Weye, changed into civilian attire and walked to the Imperial City Temple District, where my avatar treated Vilja to a formal dinner out at the All Saints Inn. Meal over, they returned home, my avatar going straight to bed.

He woke at roughly 0645 next morning, ate breakfast on his third floor private balcony (he enjoys the view of Lake Rumare and the Capitol), then walked to IC for assignments. First stop....the Waterfront District Gold Horse Courier office for a mercantile delivery assignment to Skingrad. Second stop...the palace Department of Justice for a Road Patrol assignment to Anvil. Third stop....the Tiber Septim for a mercantile delivery assignment to Skingrad. He exited Tiber Septim and, as mentioned above, is about to depart the city.

-Decrepit-

By complete coincidence, Linaea and Etta are both in Skingrad. Linaea has just earned her next-to-last required recommendation to the Arcane University, and is about to depart for Anvil. Etta has just arrived in town; she's to attend a house party there on a special assignment from the Dark Brotherhood.

Just reached level 5. MMM + Frans + Claudia's Little Secret. Claudia wants me to bring her 10k septims, where am I going to get that? Rules of my game: No fast travel, no bows, use summons and sword. I really wish I could find the Steed Stone and see if it will give me more carry weight. I don't know how I feel about the new MMM in comparison with Oblivion War Cry New Dimension, but it does seem a lot easier in spite of spawning more creatures per point. It's been mostly wolves and imps with a few lizards and a giant or two.

After coming back to Oblivion I don't see how tes5 is superior in every way. Skyrim doesn't have the magical qualities of Cyrodiil. It's like comparing a trailer park to Disneyland.

It is an even bigger coincidence, because Varla is also in Skingrad! After selling her loot at Colovian Traders, she went around the corner to All Things Alchemical. But before she could go inside, she met a strange Bosmer who wanted to meet her behind the chapel at midnight. Then he ran off. She shrugged it off, but did decide to see what the crazy little fella was up at at midnight. She went into the shop and found that the dark elf who runs the place was extremely friendly. In fact, Falanu went on and on about how lovely Varla's bone white skin was. Well, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion622.jpg, and now Varla has a place to stay in Skingrad (after a little bit of modding). OTOH, she missed meeting the Bosmer by about six hours. Oops!

Wanna give a shout out to Decrepit! Thanks for your service on the roads. I mention this because I was traveling from the IC to Skingrad along the road, to pick up a potion from Sinderion. I met one person on the journey: an Imperial Legion soldier, sans horse. I met him in Weye. Behind him, along the road, the swath of destruction was pretty impressive. Eight dead wolf bodies, four dead imps, three dead bandits.
