Adrea & The Cursed Oktoberfest: Part 1:  Party Girl

 

45682325021_cdf5b2744c_o.jpg

 

Adrea (narrating):  Winterstone, a majestic reminder of a bygone age.  Legend has that this castle was built for a King atop the site of his greatest victory.  While this is a great story, it’s unlikely this is the actual site of a “great battle”. Some say the king was cursed with infertility during his last battle, so he ordered this castle as his legacy.  The castle was built into mountain both for the natural fortification it provides as well as the steady stream of fresh water provided by the mountains.

Adrea (narrating):  The good king ruled his kingdom for many years and his people loved him.  When death took him, his people mourned. Rather than selecting a new king, the kingdom elected to self rule but maintained the castle as a capital of sorts.  Select few people are even allowed in the castle, but once a year, the gates are opened for a festival of great splendor.

Adrea (narrating):  Nobles and common folk alike from all across Tamriel are invited to partake in the celebration which goes long into the night.  With more than enough accommodations, guests are invited to spend the evening in luxury before they are allowed to return to their daily lives.  It’s not a bad trade-off, toiling all year so the entire hold can live like a king for a day…

Adrea (narrating):  As it is a feast, people from across the kingdom bring food, wine, and treasures to share together.  The king himself was particularly fond of having a wide variety of alcohol available at all of his festivals.  He had a special recipe for meade that was said to be the best in the land, but he invited other brewers to bring theirs as well.  Variety was the spice of life, he used to say. While, the king is gone, his brew still lives on and the tradition of inviting other brewers into their festival lives on as well.

Adrea (narrating):  Being the Head Promoter for a certain...daedric spirit...it was only natural I was invited to this party…

 

Adrea:  Excuse me!  Is all this meat for me?  

 

Chef:  You realize what you just said right?  

 

44957612964_29459e78b1_o.jpg

 

Barmaid:  Ma’am you can’t just claim a barrel of the King’s Brew...we need to have enough for all the other guests.

 

Adrea:  Lady...do you think I am some lightweight?  You obviously don’t know who I am. I can handle this…This barrel is mine....and I’ll fight anyone who gets near it…*hic*…

 

31809981698_c0bb80a7c1_o.jpg

 

Adrea (drunkenly singing):  I’m so Happy! Beer and Food are here!  I hope the guy behind me, doesn’t touch my rear!

 

People:  The hell is this girl doing?

 

Guy behind Adrea:  Damn, that is a fine booty…

 

45682325151_1c9627cc52_o.jpg

 

Adrea (narrating):  I had a lovely time at the King’s Oktoberfest...but something happened I didn’t expect

 

Adrea:  Oh GOd!...UUURRRGGGHHH!

 

Adrea (narrating):  And it changed my view on mead, forever.  

 

31809981768_90bd3eb3cc_o.jpg

 

Adrea: *COugh*...*cough*...*wheeze*...UURRGGGH!  UWWAAAHHH!!...*Insert puking noises here*...*cough**cough*...I need water.  

 

45682325221_deeff9093f_o.jpg

 

Adrea: This...is...the...WORST... I’ve ever felt…*cough*,*cough*...

 

BAM! BAM! BAM!

 

31809981818_403c5a564d_o.jpg

 

Servant:  Ma’am are you alright?  You’re not throwing up are you?  

 

45682325271_26101bc9ce_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  No! I’m fine!..*cough* *cough*...UURRGGH!...*cough*...Fine, I lied...can you send for an alchemist?  

 

Servant:  Right away!  Just stay in your room and I’ll be back with the alchemist.  

 

31809981908_48be3c8b1c_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  That sounds...lovely..*cough*...I’ll just lay here...till you get…*cough*...back..

 

15 Minutes ….or maybe 1 Hour Later

 

45682325331_d35dd6a07b_o.jpg

 

Adrea (to herself):  He didn’t come back...he’s not coming back...you’re gonna lay here coughing and vomiting yourself to death unless you do something, Adrea…

 

31809982028_d3a4fca377_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Right…*cough*, I’ve gotta do something before this little...thing...ruins my evening…uh oh…*UUURRGGGH*

 

45682325381_4f7bddabe3_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Time for something….I’ve not had to use...since the academy…

 

*Runic Slap*

 

31809982088_3c859030e2_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Focus...think about a time you felt great...Now!

 

44768052055_6bb3390b4c_o.jpg

 

A barely visible blue bubble formed around Adrea.

 

Adrea:  Perfect!  I still remember how to use the quarantine spell.  I should feel pretty good in here until the spell runs out.  But now...It’s time to do some alchemy.

 

44957613864_15d75dc5af_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Ok..what do we have here?  How to lose a Daedra in 10 days...No.  All 20 volumes of A Brief History of the Empire...that title is inappropriate.  GomaPeroPero Pose Manual... I’ll save that for later...ah, here it is! 20 Elixirs to know and how to brew them...and I’m looking for...The 3 Wisemen’s Elixir.  Any mage’s best friend when they’ve had too much to drink.

 

31809982148_acf4b62837_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Well, I know where the alchemist’s room is maybe they have this potion brewed already?  It IS a drinking festival! They’ve gotta be packing gallons of the stuff to make a mint off people like me… Hmm..they left the door open...Anything I see is mine!

 

44768052145_135188ec85_o.jpg

 

After a quick invasive intrusion…

 

Adrea (disgusted):  Nothing...he has nothing...what kind of self respecting alchemist DOESN’T bring an anti-alcohol potion to a drinking festival!  I hate this guy! And I hope he breaks out in warts...note to self...figure out how to make people breakout in warts by thinking it.  Ok...Think Adrea...the potion isn’t that complex. You just need gleamblossom, dragon’s tongue, and a lot of garlic for the 3 Wisemen’s Elixir.  You already have the gleamblossom in your room. Maybe you can look around to find the rest?

 

44957613344_d1f84948d6_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  I never appreciated all the work that went into maintaining a garden inside of a castle.  I’ll have to remember to tip all the gardners before I leave this place...hah, tip with what?  All that money I don’t have? Maybe I’ll just owe them a favor...IF, they have the plant I need.  

 

44768052255_acf4b62837_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Oh Look!  Dragon’s Tongue, that was fast.  ⅔ of the way there now! Better see if I can find some garlic...where to look next...maybe the kitchen?  

 

31809982258_eb07fee3ce_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Something doesn’t feel right...It’s supposed to be a party, but we all know groups of people splinter off as time progresses...I can’t help but feel something’s off.  Because this entire place feels…

 

44768052335_692fccf30b_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Empty…

 

31809982328_0b8be74a39_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  UURRRrrr….*Cough* *cough*...Don’t have time to think about them now, Adrea...gotta find that garlic….*cough*...before the spell wears off.

 

44768052375_bbed37dd8c_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Honningbrew...Black Briar...Nordic...so much Mead...WHERE IS THE FOOD!?!?!

 

31809982418_69ec91971a_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Are 2 heads of garlic enough?  I think 2 heads are enough...Divines, please let this be enough…

 

45631895862_f321813f1f_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Ok, I’ve mashed the garlic…*cough*...plucked the gleamblossom, and singed the dragon’s tongue.  Just gotta combine them and then...Dammit! Gotta make some Elixir base.

 

44768052485_6f9a2e97dc_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Ok Magic, I’ve gotta use you to make magic infused water.  DON’T give out on me...I need this quarantine spell to hold up.  

 

31809982498_0b8be74a39_o.jpgr

 

Adrea:  NOW, to mix and say the incantation: Jack...Jim...Johnny, Drinking is my Hobby.  Here comes the Sun, I need to run. Please make this potion really done!

 

With a little Puff the potion was finished.

 

44768052585_cf794d9157_o.jpg

 

Adrea quickly drank the potion down and slammed the bottle on the ground.  

 

Adrea:  Yuck...tastes like...Garlic, Hot Sauce, Mustard.  I’m ready for class now, Ms. Magnus...whoops, old habits REALLY die hard…

 

31809982598_1e5b49e55b_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  I’m just going to sleep this off, let the potion do it’s thing and maybe catch the end of the celebration…

 

90 Minutes Later

 

44768052645_faab84ab82_o.jpg

 

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

 

Servant:  Ma’am! Could you open the door!? Hurry!

 

31809982668_b7e01145f9_o.jpg

 

Adrea (to herself):  Well….what do you know...he came back after all…

 

Adrea:  Coming! Just give me a moment to get decent…

 

44768052675_10997c4f69_o.jpg

 

Servant:  Hurry! Please! You need to get moving!

 

Adrea (to herself):  I’m just going to move at my own pace. This guy has no idea what I’ve been through.  

 

31809982698_db5bbb2064_o.jpg

 

As she reached for the door, the door swung open pitching the servant forward and Adrea back.  They landed in an awkwardly intimate position.

 

Adrea:  *Gasp*

 

Servant:  Divines! I’m so sorry!

 

44768052785_50e2fedb24_o.jpg

 

Adrea skittered back to her bed as the man began.  

 

Enlayal:  My name is Enlayal, Ma’am. I’m sorry about the rush...I just don’t know what to do! One minute everyone is at the party, next they’re gone faster than piss down a mountain!

 

31809982778_0761e75247_o.jpg

 

Adrea:  Wait! Slow down...tell me what happened.  

 

Enlayal:  That’s what I’m trying to tell you Ma’am!  I don’t know! One moment, I’m lookin for the alchemist for you, next I’m wanderin the halls of an empty castle.  This castle has always been rather quiet throughout the years, but NOT on THIS day. It’s like everyone up and left and left me and the brewer here by ourselves!

Adrea:  Hold on, you mean to tell me...the party’s over?!!?

Malicia : « You should be very careful with mead Adrea. Otherwise, you won't remember who you've gone honey-honey with, and where are your pyjamas, you see ? :classic_angel: »

I love the rhymes, especially the incantation, Every spell should have a rhyme imho!

Also Adrea = hot!

Fun fact: 3 Wisemen is actually a shot.  Also, Adrea has a lot of good entries in this blog if you want to see more.  ?

Adrea:  Oh, Malicia, Please tell me you magic tag all your clothes!  With it, I summon back all my items whenever I misplace them.  Especially useful for getting back your stuff without visiting your Ex's place.

Adrea: Thank you Mr. Prince!  But you can't have the booze, either  It's all mine!

I loved the book titles so much ?

This is an example of where the adage Write Drunk, Edit Sober paid some dividends.  I forgot what story part to put there, so I just made up some book titles, it worked out a lot better than what I originally planned.  ?

Oh, my, you made me laugh very hard. The scenes about looking for the food and the "Party is over?" really cracked me. :D:D
