We ran around Solitude doing a bit of buying and selling, checking on followers and whatnot. Of course we had to have an unexplained dead body lying in the street.

 

We came across this follower in the blacksmith's shop. I hardly ever go in the place so she was quite a surprise. There is a similar lady in Warmaiden's ?

All followers are created equal but some just do not merge patch well. ?

I'm hoping I have fixed this but I wont know until I go back to Solitude or the Sleeping Giant.

 

My favourite spot in all of Skyrim. Castle Doower doower. ?

 

"He said it was how big?"

 

My visuals are very good in this game. More by luck than judgement I might add. It used to be the case that my jpg screenshots looked better than things did in the game but my game seems to have, well, upped its game. ?

Anyway, next stop the bus stop.

 

"How much is it from here to . . ."

 

We step off the bus and into a fight with a lone nutter. ?

We entered the town and didn't get attacked so that was nice.

Time for a bit of fund-raising. The steward is partial to a Sleeping Tree Sap while Laila Raw-Liver likes the regular skooma. Wylandriah goes for the STS as well.

We pop into Alchemists R Us.

Old Elgrim there is a Nord Elder as far as I know and his head texture is fine. Old Nils in Windhelm and Rorik's sidekick have grey face.

 

Hafjorg likes her Panacea skooma, she says it helps with her stretching exercises.

 

A new follower. Not to be confused with Luna I, Luna II, Luna III or Luna IV. ?

 

The plan at this point is to have a quick run through the Ratway then grab a gang of followers to do the run to Shor's Stone. I'll need the followers to get past Fort Greenwall.

Coda and I get through the two goons and then Gian the Fist when the radar lights up. Eh? ?

 

Three arse kickings later the penny drops and I decide to go with Plan B. We will get the followers now and then do the Ratway. ?

Back in town and it looks like it was raining arrows.

 

We must have missed something while we were in the Ratway.

 

Followed by 'nice legs, shame about the face'.

 

A couple of followers hired but Loona doesn't have the dialogue option. Another one for my 'to do' list.

 

Into the Ratway with my new team. Ten or eleven gels plus Brain of Britain. No sign of any enemies until we have just left the Ragged Flagon and the radar goes ballistic. Gulp. ?

I managed to squeeze past the gels and re-enter the Flagon but there was no sign of any enemies so we left again and this time there was no sign of any enemies. ?

 

We came across a room full of skeevers.

 

Then we came across lots of dead in a room. The floating ash pile was a former skeever according to the loot.

On the steps.

And in the room itself. Apart from the werewolf everything here would have been friendly.

It turns out that the werewolf was from Enemy Plus though I have no idea what or where the 'Pass' is.

We made it out the Ratway without meeting any hostiles. ? ?‍♂️

 

I went back to the Bee and Barb just to make sure I hadn't missed any followers in there. I popped upstairs and got attacked by a lone nutter. I dealt with him myself as I'd parked everyone outside.

 

There are circumcisions and there are circumcisions. ?

 

Outside, the good news is that I've cured one problem. Turns out is was just a matter of manually swapping the load order of two mods.

I couldn't fix Loona by adding the follower factions she was missing though.

Spookily, a bit further on there was a dead Agent with the same face as the Thalmor.

 

I got everyone's weapon crafted up and enchanted and we are ready for the off.
