Rose Raids Riften

"Welcome to Riften, home of the Thieves guild, or so they'd have you believe." is how the guard greets me at the city gate. He then tries to claim I have to pay to get in. "You sure its not just the thieves that want me to believe that? Sounds like you might be a member." Bluff called, the guard lets me into the city without having to pay his "tax".   While walking through the city looking for Thalmor soldiers or wizards I spot a khajiit female who appears to be stalking me. Finding no obvious

In which Lady Rose crashes a party

Downstairs in Aunt Delphine's secret basement under the Inn in Riverwood, we look over the map of dragon burial mounds she visited and found empty and the ones still presumably holding dragon skeletons. While she's convinced the Thalmor are behind the dragons coming back, I'm a little skeptical but willing to go along with the idea. When she offers to use her contacts to forge an invitation to the next Thalmor Ambassadorial party I ask "Does it has to be forged? I could get myself invited as Vit

So I was at this party the other night...

I'm going to put this pictoral up and then write my story later. Hopefully everyone knows the guests at the Thalmor Embassy party during the main quest and can recognize the people in the pictures. The main two are Thane Erikur and party server Brelas. Orthus and my PC have managed to drug Erikur's drink and Vittoria is in on the plot, ready to ignore Erikur and distract the nearest guests until she can blow things up.   Erikur gets a little handsy   Brelas tries not to make a sound, fearf

Flashback - Riverwood Fun

More will be added to this, at some point, but I swung by and took a few pictures to re-create the events of a few nights back.   First was a meeting with Camilla the lonely, sophisticated lady drug from the city life to this backwater town where the night life eats you, literally, and not in the way I'm about to. Next, I talk ladylike Sigrid into a little girl on girl with Camilla. If its all girls, it must be ladylike, right? Maybe she won't bug Alvor about spending so much time with Dorthe

Visit to Whiterun, and a fairly significant discovery

(no image yet, and I jump back and forth through the fourth wall some in this)   (I'm also gonna deviate a whole lot from the in game script. I think this makes more sense. Finding [ or just remembering things I'd forgotten ] while putting this story together has been interesting.   The Book of Dragons lists the first dragon you kill as "known alive" indicating that more than just the big guy later might have been camping out or flying around someplace.   There are a couple comments, mostl

Riverwood Surprises

After a morning snuggle with Alvor and Sigrid, a playful breakfast and naughty wake-up for Hadvar (if I get enough people to comment I'll get some pictures of that /4thwall) I headed over to the inn to inquire about the horse outside. Stepping around the passed out drunk and through the door I hear a woman berating a rather tolerant looking bartender. The voice sounds familiar and the shock hits as I round the cooking pots hanging over the fire.   Auntie Delphine!   I cannot resist calling o

Taking a message to Helgen

A few days later, with the EETC clerks properly in fear for their jobs and working industriously again, I was relaxing outside of the Bard's College, enjoying the nice weather this time of year, practice of skilled performers and nice scenery. An imperial soldier approached me saying "Ma'am? You're needed at the Castle. Captain Metilius would like to see you." Nodding, I rise from the bench and beckon him to proceed ahead of me. Entering the building, he points ahead to the briefing room before

Solitude

Solitude, ah Solitude. Jewel of the north, more or less.   (Not quite the same as the whale tail on those ancient nordic puzzle pillars, is it?)   Forwarned by the guard I am not surprised by the execution taking place when I enter the city. I've come to report my successes in the east to the company queen of sorts, Ms Vittoria Vici. Heading through the market on the way to her house I overhear one of the vendors complaining about a high tariff on her wine spices. Stepping closer, I have to

Raven Rockin'

Adelaisa and I finally had to take our leaves of Orthus. Work called us ever onward and in opposite directions. Adelaisa was bound for Solitude and the warehouse there with some extra supplies and then on to High Rock. I had my own investigations in Raven Rock.   The ship to Solstheim was captained by a man named Gjalund. He regularly carried shipments over to Raven Rock, though the cargoes were getting lighter and more expensive with the pirate interference. He was much happier to take me ove

A return to Windhelm, an excursion and return to a warmer Windhelm

I notice a new ship on my arrival to Windhelm. I also notice very friendly EETC flags on the ship and uniform symbols on the guards on the quay. Entering the company office, I am very surprised to hear a familiar voice dressing down our clerk and I decide to interrupt his protestations before she can start again. "Hey, left hand! I guess they didn't tell you I was here and you don't have a problem to deal with." The armored lady spins with surprise before a wide smile breaks out on her face. "Ro

Dawnstar Detective

Dawnstar. Should be Northstar. The middle of the north coast doesn't say much about the dawn. It is one of our lesser used ports but the ore mined here is a staple trade good and turns a small profit, when the ships aren't sunk by pirates. Supposedly a few of said pirates meet our rival's employee here and the inn on the top of the hill is the most likely location for a meeting.     Making my way into the inn I find the expected tired miners, surly miners and uncouth miners making suggestin

Well, here goes...

So this is the... well a story of Lady Rose von Septus. I am going to break the fourth wall a lot because, really, its not much more than an open window with no shutters or even a screen. I'm can't really do a humorous dialog making fun of the mechanics and silliness that comes up when quests have to be written (wait, quests? written?) so they can be done at any time and any order for the most part, to maximize repeated playthroughs. At times I'm probably going to fall out of character but the g

Idea to launch

Does anyone remember the TV series The Saint? I don't mean the Val Kilmer movie but the show with Roger Moore?   I finally have a playthrough idea I could write on, illustrated with screenshots but I don't know much fun all the work that's required for my vision will be. One of the problems is I want to edit/crop/resize any picture I post here so they're not so large and convert them from the BMP format that some moron decided to use for the screenshots into a PNG.   Anyway, here's a shot o

Consecrating the temple? ... nah we're just screwing off.

Even though I don't use followers all that much, I like doing the Tower of the Dawn quest and giving Vaermina a kick in the daedric teeth.   In one version of the quest, Erandur and my PC utilized a less used method to purify the temple and consecrate the defiled place where the Skull used to stand. Well actually we just had a little fun while his hands were still glowing from the actual ceremony Mara gave him.     I got a little lucky with the positioning of the second shot. A bit far

Roving Justice

Part of the important work an adventurer has to do, in between fetching ore and delivering notes and purchase orders, when not delivering bandit leaders and evil necromancers to their just rewards, is dealing with all the minor troublemakers and petty criminals.   Sapphire in particular really should know better, with her background. I guess she either thinks Do as you've been done by or as long as you're not murdering or raping your victims it is all OK. My PC had to convince her otherwise wi

Fun in the Strangest Places

When you're a dungeon delving adventuress you can get used to camping in all sorts of places and when you get horny, just about any solid, flat place can do.     An earlier run as a succubus... I caught Solof on his way back from the inn and invited him around the corner to discuss a possible... discount.     A completely different experience, my bone armored barbarian interacting with a passing noble and his guard. I don't remember what I asked or even why the horse ran down the road

Not All Magic is Bad

My wizard of love showing Jarl Korir of Winterhold that not all magic is bad and not all wizards are evil. Just don't tell him there was a lot of illusion at work here and what he's feeling might be influenced a little bit.

Spreading Love and Joy

Here is a test of sorts, starting a blog of images and comments.   My wandering slut of an adventurer wanted to share Dibella's message of love and joy with Thoring but he didn't want to leave his bar. Not a problem, as she's quite flexible and just made him happier right there.
