Before anyone asks, there won't be a rematch with the lich. What's the point in risking one's life a second time ;) .

Not sure with that part, Dragonpriest seemed to ignore them or just wondered what are they and wait.

 

Vampires weren't thing back there in his Era.

Woooooow, one of the episodes I like very much. You might not believe but I felt sorry for Nora when she was hurt, although I don't understand why the Dark Lord let them go.

Anyway, excellent episode. All compliments.

As Nora and Thomas are undead them self the lich's senses weren't tuned to find out about them.

Thank you Eva. They basically run off as soon as Thomas had saved Nora.

Thanks! I think she was just to cocky, and trusting too much in her vampiric powers to protect her.

Fun chapter! I feel some of the action sequences aren't conveyed very clearly at first glance - such as:
When Nora is hurt in her arm after stabbing the Dragon Priest, what hurt her?
When Thomas is reaching for Nora's sword stuck in the DP's back, was he contemplating pulling it out?

Will we get to learn more about the curse/affliction the Dragon Priest inflicted on Nora? :)

Thank you!

Just touching the lich hurt her. As you already pointed out Nora was cursed by touching/ stapping the lich and that's the reason why you see Thomas contemplating about touching the sword afterwards.

Maybe that should have been more clearly. Like a some kind of photoshopping that showed the affliction creeping up the sword after she tried to kill him or so... 

Thanks for the feedback :)

It's interesting that there's still something almost childlike in Nora. Sure, she's a powerful warrior and a cunning opponent, but at the same time she's rather young (by vampire and any other elder races standards), impulsive and a bit arrogant.  You did a wonderful job showing the complexity of her character. In the last scene with her falling asleep with Amelie she looks almost like a little girl sleeping with a teddy bear.

 

P.S. I know this is probably not what you intended, but I just love how the Dragon Priest doesn't seem to give a hoot about Thomas and Nora (or even the fact that he's stabbed).  "It's not that I don't sense you, it's just that I don't care. Now grab your vampire friend and get off my lawn!...erm...tomb!" ?

 

This screenshot could easily belong in an actual movie. Great work! ?

For a second there I thought she got her arm cut by one of the dauger. Is that lore friendly the dauger not attacking them? Because when I play a vamp they still attack me.:classic_laugh::wink: 

 

I just remembered when I had Thomas in my game I had a certain mod that made him want to rape my character for his service for following her and Aria took her place. I forgot I had such a mod installed and was like "huh"... "What just happened here?"?:classic_laugh:

Kathryne: yeah Dragonpriests are a Bitch to kill that's why I tend to Blast the un-living hell out of them with magic!

 

Great work Alter I agree with tex on the Draugr not noticing them because they're undead themselves!

Thanks  for all the praise!

I really had Amelie being Nora's Teddy bear in mind when I shot the scene. Glad I could transport the nuances.

Nora was trying to kill the dragon priest the way she would kill another vampire, by piercing the heart. That doesn't work because he got his heart removed. So he's not very vulnerable at his body. 

Thomas realizes that but acknowledges that he's very powerful and that it's not worth the risk ;).

My rules are a bit different besides all my vampires are actually dead, while your skyrim vampires can be healed at any moment ;) 

 

Thomas is a bit nicer in my version, at least most of the time ;)

As alwyas great! Beautiful sex scene, and an interesting outcome. I am glad that Nora coped with this, but I didn’t understand the essence of the curse(?) and what was wrong with her hand. Although I believe that it will still be mentioned or will affect events in the future ^_^ And as always, your work with light sources is amazing! ^_^

We'll have to see how the curse will effect her, but Thomas seemed really convinced that human blood would indeed heal her. We have to see whether  this is true or not. 

Thanks for your nice comment Crw.

Nice entry ! It started rather slowly, as if it was going to be rather uneventful, but heck it wasn't ! Liked the relational twist Nora tried to create between Tomas and Lenora, the tomb sex, and the ambiance and confrontation with the draugr. The colors, the darkness, the game about what can be seen clearly and what not, all of that was visually great. Also the twists about the undead allowed for some show in terms of scenario, and some action (with some Wanobi-inspired photoshopping :classic_wink:). And so did you with the curse spreading (I almost wondered if he was going to cut-off her arm ^^). So overall it was a great chapter.

 

The only point I disagree with is below :

That was pretty sweet, nice touch with the Undead not sensing the other undead :)  Liked it alot.

Not sure with that part, Dragonpriest seemed to ignore them or just wondered what are they and wait.

I agree with Resdayn. To me Draugr/common undead aren't blind, and Lichs aren't stupid. Not sensing means Nora couldn't sense them from afar, when some walls separated them, and either couldn't them. But that doesn't means they wouldn't see them once they're just in front of their eyes. If draugrs couldn't perceive anything but alive things, I let you imagine how dumber they'd be with doors and obstacles compared to the game. They not having extra sense towards other undead is logical, but them not having any other senses at all seems mistaken to me.

 

Same for Lich. Some very powerful mages do search to become ones in order to avoid death ; they wouldn't do so if they were reduced to flying vegetables. Mannimarco wasn''t any less powerful, nor any less intelligent as a lich than as a living. So he would understand what's happening right away, not to mention after being stabbed.

 

That doesn't means I didn't take a great pleasure at reading this entry. Said detail set aside, it had both action, scenario and sex, so it was a treat ! :D

Thank you very much! 

The photoshoppping was Crw inspired as I did it about a year ago when I started to experiment more with photoshopping. But just this weekend I worked on an entry in Chapter 9 and made use of some of Wanobi's tutorials. While I think photoshopping is good for single images, it can be very tiresome when you have to do it for multiple images... So I think it's a good addition to my usual style, but now I'm also more aware of the advantages of having everything ingame already.

You're not wrong.

I'm sure I could construct and argument where my version would work as we're now in the "make your own fantasy rules" world. Like you could say that they are tied to their tomb and just know the place. Who even says they see like we do? And why did they wake up in the first place?

 

In the end the idea for this entry was rather spontaneous. I was just looking for a location to do the feral scene of the previous section and then discovered, like Thomas and Nora that there was a secret door and a really good looking tomb. (I know it's a rather prominent tomb in Skyrim but I didn't play the game since 2012 ? so I was just as surprised).

I then made the decision to have them discover it out of curiosity, but didn't want to tell the classical Skyrim dungeon looter story, where they slay all the bad guys and get the loot afterwards. 

 

So I didn't wanted to go for an open fight like that and was trying to tell a story you don't encounter in your typically skyrim run. But sure, you guys have a valid point.

 

Now that you wrote it, I should have done the arm cut off thing. I didn't think of that either and it definitely would have been the better solution and the more interesting story. It's also in Thomas' character to not hesitate to do sth. like that. In the end, given enough blood the arm would regrow... 

If I were to do it again I'd do your suggestion ;) even though I'm aware that it comes off as very radical and brutal... ?

It's indeed useful to be able to work on texture as well as right into the images. The best of the two worlds ! :D

I'm glad you take it the right was. And after all, what matters is the story quality, and as long as your logic stands in your "own fantasy world" it's fine. :classic_wink:

Quite unusual coming from you. It contrasts with the care you put in the definition of your vampire world ; yet as vampires do have your focus, it's completely understandable.
