Hello

 

If you are new Reader welcome!

 

I suggest cheking out the story sheet and start with the beginning.

The Purge of Riften(8/)

 

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_07_19_89.jpg

 

The City of Riften, not just the Empire's worst city at the moment, but since the 2nd Era.. There was no major expansion of the city, all new buildings and places were built in the lowerside of the city...

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_07_40_10.jpg

 

While exploring these parts of the town, I noticed many freshly built alchemy shops, clinics, even houses.. but why they build here, instead expanding the city itself and make homes for people where the rats and trash not common.. they just make the entire place to a big slum.. 

 

Solving the corruption is one thing, but this city has way too many issues already...

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_09_26_45.jpg

 

Anyway, Im here to purge the corruption and the underworld out of this city, after that I can think how to improve more the situation of Riften..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_07_59_17.jpg

 

The entrance of the Riften sewers... time to explore it and find out the truth..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_10_11_19.jpg

 

The Famous of Sewers of Riften, charming.. Great place to hide secrets and the underworld I seek..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_10_37_00.jpg

 

Already two guard, interesting...quite loud ones

 

Noises: Are you this was a good idea? I know she paid well for us standing guard to target..

Noise: Listen fool, she wore the uniform, she is with them... we can join to them..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_13_10_81.jpg

 

Thug: I know, I know, but something is fishy, trust me.. Our target seems a bit "strange" don't you think?

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_13_18_93.jpg

 

Thug: Stop worrying you dumbass, just because he is armored...

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_12_38_48.jpg

 

Time to the Purge begin... Maybe start with a small magic trick to suprise them..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_14_14_48.jpg

 

Thug: Somebody is behind you!!

Thug: What do you mean? Thats impossible.. we watching the entrance, it just not make any sense.. stop confusing me okay?!!!

Gauis:(sigh)..

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_20_24_00.jpg

 

Screams of terror....

 

It seems He is here now... wonderful, the bait did the job well..

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_20_38_05.jpg

 

He can't just casually walk this bridge, no that wouldn't be fun, lets pull this level..

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_23_10_70.jpg

 

Lets see and wait... the fun begins(chuckles)..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_16_51_72.jpg

 

I should change my way of killing to a more efficient way. 

 

I think the destruction spells should toned down a bit, one big one and the City will have issues...

 

Could just interrogate them instead of outright killing them(sigh), ohh well there are more for that anyway..

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_18_15_87.jpg

 

The Sewers of Riften is around since the 2nd Empire, was an imperial expansion due the nordic way of handling of sewage. Not that large as the city, since the main purpose is to keep the crap out of the town and put all of it into the local lake..

 

Perfect for exiting and entering to the city, smugling and for hide. 

 

Quite old sewers, while functioning well... I should put an improvement and expansion suggestion to that jarl for the sake of the city or...

 

I should move on, Im getting distracted already.

 

enb_2019_11_04_12_19_08_55.jpg

 

The brigde is pulled up and there is no way to cross that... 

 

I need jump down and find an other way then..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_43_35_95.jpg

 

Sewers ain't big anyway, outside of a mild annoyance, not really big hindrance...

 

Time to active the detect spells to find people to avoid dead ends and empty places...

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_43_53_67.jpg

 

There are one sign close to me, I should head there and interrogate that one.. first..

 

Few behind me, but those are just rats and skeevers, and a few more after the closest thing..

 

Lets proceed..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_44_48_10.jpg

 

I getting closer to that sign... its getting stronger...

 

I wonder if it a thug, beggar or thief...

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_45_12_55.jpg

 

Something is strange here, the sign just disappeared...

 

Curious..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_45_31_31.jpg

 

Well regardless, this is the only way I can go, and already a badly made trap..

 

Underworld seems rather incompetent..but its Skyrim, so no suprise..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_47_19_89.jpg

 

An open large room and the owner of the sign is.....

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_50_17_04.jpg

 

An Gargoyle?

 

Interesting...

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_55_26_40.jpg

 

Why is an undead vampiric abomination even here?

 

How this thing even got here unnoticed?

 

Temple of Arkay should keep undead away...

 

I doubt this thing just casually minding itself in the near entrance of the sewers, let alone guard dog of the underworld, unless they work with vampires and necromancer..

 

Regardless, this isn't a creature one can easily hide without having massive arcane or vampire powers..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_50_52_20.jpg

 

But there is no time for questions, time to blast this abomination to the oblivion...

 

Huh?

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_50_37_10.jpg

 

My magic not works? I can't cast spells?

 

Anti-magic runes.. explains why the sign disappeared here..

 

How irritating...

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_56_10_36.jpg

 

In that case, I need rely on physical combat..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_50_27_87.jpg

 

Its getting closer.. good

 

Looks more confident seeing I can't use my magic, but..

 

enb_2019_11_04_22_54_13_98.jpg

 

In the end...

 

enb_2019_11_04_23_25_09_62.jpg

 

Doesn't matter

 

enb_2019_11_04_23_25_33_01.jpg

 

Imperial Battlemages are both deadly in physical combat and magical combat..

 

Im equally a deadly fighter as magister I am..

 

enb_2019_11_04_23_05_38_62.jpg

 

Anti-magic zone and a Gargoyle, thats rather specific trap against magic users and anyone who can't overpower the creature..

 

Almost as it it was to mean to someone..

 

enb_2019_11_04_23_05_52_44.jpg

 

I wonder for who? 

 

It can't be for me, otherwise they would prepare better against me.

 

Good thing I did not sent Gwynolda to the sewers ....

 

she could die easily here..

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_27_26_61.jpg

 

How unexpected..

 

I underestimated his physical might...

 

Killing an Gargoyle with one hit... how ridiculous

 

 Is his armour magically enchanted or he just that physically strong?

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_28_55_22.jpg

 

This is why you not rely on guard dogs to finish the assasination..

 

There are many far more suited creature for it..

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_29_21_79.jpg

 

Come here my dear shadows...

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_32_56_49.jpg

 

Ohh there you are...

 

Time to move on the next attempt of taking down the Imperator Magus..

 

Ohhh lets not bother Gwynolda yet, Sybil of Dibella certainly unexpected pressence, but she not gonna cause any issue.. we already have Eliza here..

 

enb_2019_11_05_21_33_07_89.jpg

 

We going to tremble the Empire and we kill Gauis Magnus for you...

 

He dies today..

 

 

End

I want to comment, but I keep drooling over every screenshot.  ? The cinematic quality of your work is off the charts. ?

 

Gauis is just getting more and more impressive (I didn't think it was possible). Not only is he a master of the arcane arts, but he is also physically a very formidable opponent. Usually when characters of LL stories meet a gargoyle with exposed private parts things go very differently. ? That one-punch knockout scene was simply hilarious.

 

I also love that while he certainly has no problems with killing random thugs and bandits, Imperator Magus really does care for the city and the people, contemplating on how to improve the sewers and to guarantee citizen's safety and health.  He's even worried about a structural integrity of the walls and tries to avoid using truly destructive magic.

 

And that cliffhanger! We need to know more!!! ? That lady looks intriguing and dangerous.

 

Wonderful work, Resdayn. Thank you for an amazing story! ?

 

Lady Trinn: Ugh, this is annoying. I do not remember inviting any of my colleagues to Riften and I certainly do not need any business competition. Who let that necromancer in?! ?

Good one, Residan. There is one problem now. Those undead will prevent Gaius and Stranger to get married. Gaius must killed them first if he wants to marry Stranger. ;)

Thank you ❤️

 

I always try aim with my screenshots to satisfie my imagined scenes of my stories, glad to hear they do their job well. ?

 

He is the star of this chapter , of course he gonna shine a bit even more then before hehe ?

 

I wanted showcase his martial and physical abilities, his magic skills already got showcased a lot in the previous entires. The whole situation where he can't rely on them was perfect scenario for it.

 

Ohhh yes, Gargoyles with exposed pp tend to forcefully penetrate unsuspecting cute girls, but he was rather unlucky to get casting for a different person ?

 

Gauis casually broke its skull with that one hit and was strong enough to send it on the otherside of the room, rather scary display how deadly our Imperator Magus with his fists.

 

Bandits and thugs and those who broke the laws of his, ain't valuable or remotely useful for him, he not gonna care too much if they die or not.

 

He is here to end the corruption and make the city of Riften to a liveable and functioning place. Last thing he wants is unnecessary death due him being reckless with his own magic. Improving a prominent Trading City and economical city of Eastern Skyrim is benefital for the Empire, as well its citizens and Skyrim.

 

I thought its a good time to introduce our other big player of Riften, She seems planned a quite deadly game for Gauis, as well Gwynolda encountered one of her minions and actions in the temples.

 

The fact she aware of Gwynolda and Eliza, seems a bit scary ?, she definetly confident about her plans and abilities.

 

 

Lady Trinn, we not really know She is your colleague at all or even here for bussiness, her agenda and methods seems far more drastic and less care about the consequences, compared yours. ?

Thank you ?

 

Certainly having an undead force try get him killed is probably a big thing in his way to get the Stranger to the temple of Mara ?.

 

Althought, that can wait..

A rather badass display of power here ! Although I didn't expect a mage of this caliber to have his magic shut down that easily, I didn't expect either he'd had a straight right hand physical abilities that powerful : the gargoyle was sent flying at the other side of the room ! ^^

enb_2019_11_04_23_25_33_01.jpg

Technically the screens are most of the time more than good, though the DoF might be unneeded sometimes, to the point if just reduced the readability in some rare occurrences, but globally no problem here. The English language seems to be slowly improving (or at least more double checked than before). As for the action, you're doing more and more of it, and so far so good. Awaiting for the clash with the mysterious same voice than Gwynolda encountered in the temple ! :smiley:

I guess this chapter was solely about Gauis just showcasing himself as badass ?

 

Well more than implied mysterious "She" is similar caliber magister like Gauis, she planted the Gargoyle and the magic blocking spells to make sure he got ravaged and killed by it, while being vunerable. ?

 

However, his unexpected physical might was enough to outright kill a high tier undead creature with one hit, Gauis physical abilities are certainly a very deadly caliber and paired with his magical abilities. He definetly a very powerful enemy to fight. Not counting the fact, he has the Empire with him.

 

Well Gwynolda indeed encountered her in one form, even if it was one of her spectral shades, she infact aware of her pressence, she was pretty lucky to not sent in the sewers, no way she could survive these encounters. ?

 

Soon, this person's identify will be revealed in the right time and her games.

 

Well I kinda use the dof to make some of my scenes the way I want it, sometimes its not really fit 1-2 pic, but usually servers the purpose of creating rather good and pretty pics for my stories. ?

 

Yeah, eversince this arc, action is just rather common, so far this is the most action packed entry of my, and not the last fight in the blog either.

 

Those scenes not the easiest for me, thats sure, I just recently made fight scenes for my stories.

Is it me or the Imperator Magus has very girly eyes?

He does actually, but hard to notice it due the armour and mask, and most of the time his eyes shadowed a lot in those holes ?

Excellent entry, Res! The shots were incredibly cinematic. I loved the summoning of the shadows, those look so cool! I suspect there will be quite the battle coming up. Hype!

Im glad you like my shots, I had rather hard time making them to the imagined scenes ?

 

One of my favorite scenes outside the punching one, the creepy summoning of the shadowy minions, they look quite badass.

 

Certainly big events come, thats sure in the coming ones.

I wrote something that suppose to be a joke about Malicija's sex life, but Eva convinced me that it sounds like insult and I should rather erase it if can't replace it with something better. Sorry Trilog.

Don't be Prince. As long as it's not about horses or people pretending to be her, Malicia should not take jokes too badly, though she may still react in a rather demonstrative way. :classic_wink:

No, nothing about horses and her shapeshifting power. ;)

I still don't know how to form better the thing I wanted to say so it won't looks like the insult. :grimace:

Let me help my Prince. He wanted to say that Stranger is the one who does others in their poo-poos, especially Malicija and that he doesn't like to be done in his own poo-poo. I hope this helped and that it wasn't offensive. :)
