Bleak Falls Barrow
Hiya guys!
Okay, so 90% of my stories are about my main character, Mai. But, I'm sure you'll agree, every now and then it's nice to try out something new. Sometimes I'll want to try a new play style, or re-run some early level quests and dungeons, or just walk around Skyrim looking slightly different!
This, of course, brings us to:
The Dreaded Alts!
Most of the time I just create a new character (usually based on a Mai template) and run around for a couple of hours before returning to my main character wondering why I ever left! But sometimes, I'll like a new character enough to do a bit more - and I'll shoot a story or two with them.
The first of these is with a character named Sara. I had fun playing as her, but ultimately her style drifted too close to Mai's (stealth/archery) and I eventually stopped levelling her. But not before this quick story. Hope you enjoy!
Bleak Falls Barrow
Part 1
Sara: "Hmmm, managed to sneak past the bandits outside..."
Sara: "...but I think these two will require a different approach."
Sara: "Hiya! I've been asked to come in and fetch a weapon for one of the guys outside."
Sara: "Ah - I guess it must be that bow on the ground over there..."
Male Bandit: "Ummmm.....sure.....take it out to them."
Female Bandit: "Have you ever seen her before?!"
Male Bandit: "Nope. I'd have remembered that ass!"
Sara: "You like my ass, huh? That's funny, cuz it's time to kiss yours goodbye!"
Male Bandit: "GACK.....!!!"
Female Bandit: "WHAT THE....... Who the hell ARE you?!"
Sara: "I'm fate. Someone who just happened to walk into the Riverwood Trader right after you robbed it..."
Sara: "I'm your worst nightmare!"
Female Bandit: "............"
Sara: "That takes care of the scum...."
Sara: "...now time to find that golden claw."
Part 2
Sara: "Hmmmm, I don't like this. The corridor seems to end here."
Sara: "A dead end? Great..."
Sara: "Wait...did I just hear a voice?! Maybe there is a way forward after all."
Sara: "Just gotta clear this webbing out of the way. It looks like there is a large cavern back here..."
Sara: "Wow...this is unexpected!"
Sara: "This is massive. And is that a person over there?!"
Arvel the Swift: "Thank the divines! OVER HERE!!! Girl, come quick - free me from these bindings!"
Sara: "Why do I feel like this is a trap?"
Sara: "Give me one good reason why I should help you as opposed to putting an arrow in your throat, Bandit filth!"
Arvel the Swift: "You little whore! Cut me down this instant! Do it NOW or i'll....."
Sara: "Or you'll what? Glare me to death?! Watch your mouth scum, you're in no position of power. Now listen to me very carefully...."
Sara: "...you're going to tell me everything you know about that claw you stole from the Riverwo....."
Arvel the Swift: "Oh gods! It's too late! We're FINISHED!"
Sara: "Hmmm....I really hope that isn't what it sounds like!"
Sara: "Oh my! You ARE a big boy, aren't you! Are you perhaps.....friendly?"
Sara: "I didn't think so!"
Part 3
Sara: "Just perfect. This spider is not going to make things easy for me."
Sara: "Hmmm....I'll probably regret this..."
Arvel the Swift: "Wait...what are you doing?!"
Sara: "Protect your eyes, bandit."
Arvel the Swift: "That's done it - I'm free!"
Arvel the Swift: "So was that your plan: we both die together?!"
Sara: "Not exactly. That blade you carry - do you know how to use it?"
Arvel the Swift: "I can manage."
Sara: "Good - do what you can to keep it busy!"
Arvel the Swift: "Where in Oblivion are YOU going?"
Sara: "To pick a fight with a spider!"
Part 4
Arvel the Swift: "This woman is insane!"
Sara: "Don't just stand there - distract it!"
Arvel the Swift: "HEY, SPIDER! LOOK AT ME YOU UGLY PIECE OF FILTH!"
Sara: "That's good - I'm almost there..."
Sara: "Use that damned sword of yours! We have to wear the beast down for it to lower its defenses..."
Arvel the Swift: "I'll bet you wished you had finished me off earlier, eh spider?! HAVE SOME OF THIS!"
Arvel the Swift: "Argh, the beast is too strong girl. I can only wound it..."
Sara: "You've done enough, Bandit. Stand aside and watch a professional at work. SPIDER - BEHIND YOU!"
Spider: "......"
Sara: "Time to die...."
FFFWIP!
Spider: "..........!"
Spider shrieks wildly.
Arvel the Swift: "I don't believe it - you did it! You killed it! What a shot!"
Arvel the Swift: "You know...we make a pretty good team, you and I..."
Sara: "I guess we do...."
Sara: "Now hand over that FUCKING GOLDEN CLAW!"
