Hello, dear readers.

 

I know what you're going to say: "Devianna, you are already writing 3 different stories. Why is there suddenly a 4th character showing up?!"

Well, it happened like this - I was working on Lady Trinn's next chapter and decided to test out the new textures. Then I loaded the save with Carissa by accident. The next thing I know, it's the middle of the night, there are four empty cups of coffee on the table, a Pink Panther theme is playing on the background and apparently a new story just wrote itself. So it wasn't my fault! It was...it was the Thalmor! Yup, definitely them. :classic_ph34r:

 

Warning: this story contains high levels of sass and sarcasm. ?

And so we get another series from Devianna Productions®, what a pleasant surprise ! Technically speaking poses and expressions are very good (including that tongue trick ^^), the colors and angles as lively as always, and even the spell effects (the ashes jaxoned in to the hands, the little spark in the finger snap) came in as natural (I liked the concept of both, very thief/mage like respectively). And with such a mischievous thief's personality opposed to the coldly calculating elf, the dialogues were more than crispy, for our reading pleasure. Some twists were a bit pushed over, but with a humorous style that made up for it. A pleasant entertainment, overall ! :smiley:

Ohhh another new lady and story ?, now 4 story series, you getting crowded. ?

 

Carissa is really cute, and rather fun looking character, Gwynolda wants know her location

 

Also seeing the classic nightblade class is fun, Skyrim as base game not really works well with that combo ?

 

Also really nice to see the Reach and Markarth being used for stories ?

 

So far the Thalmor involvement is rather interesting choice, also Altmer with nord warpaint, what is this this heresy ?, in my setting they kinda missing cause someone make sure they not shown up ?

 

The Talos trick was 10/10, I loved that scene ❤️

I promised myself not to do another series until I finished up the already ongoing ones.? But who was I kidding? I love writing wacky, humorous adventures and when I accidentally create a character that fits such a role...well...things happen. ? (my excuse is - "it was altmer magic" and I'm sticking with it!)

 

You also have quite an eye for catching small details. ? Who knew that minimized ash piles are so cute and can provide both the powder and the enchantment effects. ? The little spark was a pain to achieve, but was worth it as I really wanted to show Norindil casting a spell.

 

As always, thank you for your comments, Tirloque and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I will go back to writing Trinn's tale now...probably...most likely...alright, maybe one more little chapter with Carissa, but then definitely back to my previous tales. :classic_ph34r:

Four characters isn't that bad yet. You should see how many alts I ended up making when playing MMORPGs ?.

 

I agree, Carissa is so lovable I just couldn't resist giving her her own story. ☺️

 

Norindil is a mix between nightblade and spellsword. Those are the closest, somewhat lore-friendly (not that lore has ever stopped me from writing my own versions of it ?) examples that I could find for his class. You're right, Skyrim base game really is lacking in the most interesting builds. As for his warpaint, Carissa is also curious about it. Maybe she'll even ask him at some point. ?

 

Hehehe, the high elves are so stuck up on Talos that it felt like the most logical solution to use him as a distraction.  Thank you, Resdayn and I'm happy you liked the story. ?

She’s cute ?. But she’s lucky no one told her it’s not brooms in Skyrim but paintbrushes in Cyrodiil that do that. But she believed in the brooms so they didn’t let her down☺️

 

Also I think that High-Elf man probably likes her. They’re pretty much all tsundere. 

Ah, the famous floating paintbrushes. ? Too bad there weren't any of those nearby.

In Carissa's case, she just propped the two brooms on the wardrobe on one side and in the little stone crevice on the other. Not the smartest or safest idea, but that certainly didn't stop her. ?

 

Norindil doesn't like her but he can certainly find uses for the little thief.  You are on the right track about him being a bit of a tsundere, though. ??

 

And thanks! ?☺️

Well compared my army of characters, its rather small number ?

 

She definetly very charming lady, she should watch herself in Markarth and Riften ?

 

Mainly the due the stat systems, kinda hard to balance out the need of the high magicka and the stamina for the stealth combat, possible sure, but ain't the most exciting thing having the actual magic to support your nightblade as late game.

 

Honestly that distraction can work with the stormcloaks as well ?

Okay, shes cute, dexterous, smart, cute (or have I already mentioned?)
You know, I thought i don't have so much space in my heart to fall in love in so many characters that you create ^_^ But you still manage to create anoter one :D
The large number of screenshots was just awesome! A scene with a coin, mmh ^_^ I just really heard the sound of that ^_^ 
Great work Devianna ^_^

Very nice, I like this setup a lot!

Hehe, thank you! I know you're not a fan of Lady Trinn's story and I had a feeling you might like this one a bit more. ? I'll still finish Necromancer's tale...but maybe after a little bit more of Carissa :classic_ph34r:

AHAHAHA...*cough..wheeze* HAHAHAHA.  Yeah, that Markarth. ( I love this reference! ?)

 

Aww, thank you, Crw. Carissa ended up having an adorably mischievous personality. I'm glad that readers like her. ?

(that's her earlier concept, before she moved to the city with bad food and even worse weather)

Yay! Happy you enjoyed the coin-toss scene. I had it in my head for a while but didn't know quite how to do it.  Took a few tries to get it right. But Norindil is still a jerk - only 1 gold for such an awesome brooms-to-the-rescue plan was just mean. ?

My god. I died laughing. The "Talos" joke was perfect. Little thief girl is very cute. You did excellent job, again. Many compliments.

Thank you, Eva. I'm glad this made you smile. ?

One of these days I should add actual Talos showing up there, just to mess with the Thalmor. ?

Oh yeah! I've actually thought about it.  This time around it was definitely just a single regular gold coin, but who knows - maybe Norindil's payments will become more useful as the time goes on. ?
