Hey, it's Destana. I'm a Volkihar vampire, ex-guildmaster of the thieves' guild. Future Queen of Skyrim (maybe). Hero of the Stormcloaks. Mother to the Listener. Slayer of Dragons. Skilled mage and archer. What else... gods I'm bored. I feel like a lot of time has passed since I made an entry. But really that's because I've been sitting here for two days, waiting for Urag the Librarian to actually find all the scattered notes on the Elder Scroll. "Gods! What is taking him so long?!" I shouted, and someone in the distance shushed me. "This is a library, please be quiet!" "Sorry," I said. "On the bright side," Serana started, flipping the page of the book she'd been reading, "Another one for the pile." She tossed the book into a pile of books behind her, now uncountably large. "Talos, how fast do you read?" I asked. "Very fast," she replied. "Okay, well, have you found anything helpful?" I asked. "Not really." "While you're reading chapter books I've learned a few spells," I said. She nodded, opening another book. I sat there, listening to Urag in the distance thumbing through more books. The silence - deafening. I felt like I might scream. It's hard for me to just sit still and do nothing. "Okay, I'm getting antsy. I need to be out there, doing things," I said, standing up. Serana looked at me, "What you gonna do?" "I think I'm going to use Clairvoyance and just walk until I find it. All I need to do is focus on what I want to find," I huffed, "Do you want to come?" "Well... I did just crack open a new book," she said. "Okay," I kissed her. No harm, no foul. I walked out of the Library and into the cold. I realized the spell pointed back at Urag, but then I switched to casting the spell on the quest for Harkon which was just "Bring me more Elder Scrolls." And since we had both the other ones, it pointed to the next objective. I followed it to the north until I found a strange cave with a strange man, and a large dwemer box. "Hey, I've been all over the countryside looking for it. You don't happen to have an Elder Scroll here, do you?" "Well, it is nearby," he replied. "You have an Elder Scroll, just sitting around?" "I've seen enough to know their warp of air, the weft of time. Here as in it's in this plane. Mundus. Tamriel. Nearby, relatively speaking." "So can you help me find where specifically it is?" I asked. "One block lifts the other. Septimus Signus will give you what you want. But you must bring him something in return." "I assume that's you. What do you want?" "You see this dwemer masterwork. Deep inside their greatest knowings. Septimus is clever amon men, but an idiot child compared to the dwemer. Lucky they left behind a way of reading Elder Scrolls. The dwemer found a loophole, as they always do. In the depth of Blackreach, take this Lexicon and transcribe. You will find the scroll there. Elder Scrolls look left and right in the stream of time. Past and future are as one. Sometimes they look up. What do they see then? What if they dive in? Then the madness begins. Under deep. Below the dark. The hidden deep. Tower Mzark. Alftand." I found Alftand and when I did, a dragon turned to me that'd been perching on top of a nearby structure. It was a mechanical dragon! It dropped summons - drawing small dwemer spiders to it. I figured this was a good time to replenish my blood supply. I was a supervamp just like Serana so I didn't need to feed very often either, but I now also could feed from the energies in undead and constructs. I shifted to Vampire Lord form and threw blood storms at it until it landed, then finished it off. I wandered around, first in the tower, then in a ravine, trying to find whatever I was supposed to find here. I climbed out of the ravine to find another dwemer mechanical dragon. This time, I got out my new bow and lightning arrows and pelted it until it landed in front of me. It shot a cone of steam, and I slashed it across the face, bringing it down. Eventually I found some scaffolding that lead deeper into ruins. I was excited to test my newly enchanted equipment. The gloves would detect life everytime I drew a bow. The boots were both muffled (stolen from disenchanting my shrouded boots) and cushioned which meant I wouldn't be hurt by falls. I fought through more dwemer constructs and a few golden dwemer ghosts, unlocking doors and chests along the way, until I got to a deep shaft. I spied chaurus eggs and chitin pens, so I knew I was getting close to falmer territory. I hopped down sequentially to the wall formations on the shaft and the tower in the middle, killing falmer silently as I went. When I reached the bottom a large group of them finally heard me when I missed a shot, but I peppered them with arrows until they were down. I started wondering if this was some kind of satellite or fledgling group, because they not only didn't have fully grown chaurus, they were weak as hell. I came across a couple traps that I disarmed easily, and then I reached the Cathedral. I shot a guy through bars, shot another couple just standing around, then opened the bars and continued. Maybe... it was all these constructs that kept the falmer at bay. When I crested the stairs, a huge dwemer construct broke free of its bonds. Not as big as the numidium, and indeed not as tough as it either. I got a starting shot on him, then used my speed to my advantage, dodging and slashing at it's legs until it went down. I noted there was another large centurion already smashed. I heard a man and woman arguing. She said, "Of course you want me to leave. Just waiting for me to turn my back so you can have all the glory for yourself!" I ducked behind a pillar, watching their conversation. They both drew weapons and so did I, silently. "It's time to end this little game," the man said, and blasted her with a fireball in his offhand. She raised her shield as he charged in and they fought for a bit. Eventually, the fire took it's toll, though, and she fell, him wounded. And it put him in the perfect position. "TIID!" I shouted, slowing time and not taking chances. I hopped out from cover and slashed him across the back, killing him. I sheathed my weapons. They didn't seem to have much on them, and not sure how they got this far. Perhaps they'd killed the other centurion and were doubly wounded. Behind them was the elevator to the surface, to which one of them held the key (oh, that's probably it). But there was also a dwemer mechanism, that opened up square spiraling stairs below, to which I entered. "I wonder if the others would enjoy this. These guys are barely a challenge," I whispered out loud. I stepped into Blackreach, the vast cavern above holding numerous lights and mushrooms. And yes, I figured I should probably summon more eyes to behold this wonder. Serana said, "What the..." She was dressed in her Vampire armor again for some reason. Eh, not gonna nitpick. "This cavern is immense!" Inigo blinked when he popped in. "Are you seeing this?" Serana continued, "I knew my father used to go to Blackreach from time to time, but I didn't expect it to look like this." "Your father came here?" I asked. "It's an entire cave ecosystem. There's probably nothing else like it in Tamriel. Back in my time, there used to be a royal clan of vampires here. The Gray Host. Think Castle Volkihar, but underground, and massive." Shirley took a second to switch into her armor from the purple dress, and Sofia was already ready. "It's really pretty down here. Who knew something like this was just below our feet?" Shirley commented. Then I got a strange thought. I had a way of summoning one of my children at a time, that I'd never used because I figured it was pretty invasive. But I wondered if Damien would fancy a second try at fighting beside me. I summoned him. "Whoa!" he turned to me, "Mom!" It took him a second to recover, then he looked at the cavern ceiling, and he was all about this. "I figured it would be a good thing to report on for school. Maybe learn something," I said. He nodded. I realized I probably wasn't spot-on, he was going to enjoy himself whilst traveling in the back and flinging spells with Serana. We started off, fighting falmer and chaurus and Damien commented, "I wonder if it stays warm down here from steam vents?" Gods, my boy is smart. We trekked through what seemed like miles of underground (fighting more falmer) until we came to another structure. It looked dwemer. "This must be the place," I led the way. Indeed, it was filled with dwemer treasures. It was some form of living space, and had a ramp leading up. "I would find the dwemer's inventions fascinating if they weren't trying to kill us," Damien said. Inigo looked at Damien, "I wonder if the Elder Scroll feels starved of attention down here. I doubt many of the residents know how to read." They both chuckled. I ventured up the ramp and found a dwemer ghost lounging on a raised platform. He hadn't seen us yet. To my right was a wonderous, spinning device with mirrors. I took out my bow to deal with the dwemer. But Sofia said something loud to Serana, who yelled back to her as she got to the top of the ramp, "First off, Sofia, that's a myth. Vampires are okay with eating garlic. There was an elder vampire before that just happened to be allergic to it. That perpetuated the myth." The ghost popped to attention and drew a sword, but my guys were so on top of it with arrows and spells it fell before it even turned to attack. I told the group to stay down in the living area for a few minutes while I fiddled with the lexicon. I popped it in, pressing the first button and the thing sprang to life, spinning into position. I noticed Damien was up on the raised platform with me. "I'm pretty fascinated by this stuff. The dwemer created so many wondrous machines. I wonder why nobody followed in their footsteps," Damien stroked his chin. Using my puzzle skills gained from a lifetime of solving nord puzzles, I solved it. The aperture at the center opened and I grabbed the scroll. The group came up the ramp (I figured they were watching). Inigo shouted, "Well done, my friend!" "That thing hurts my eyes just looking at it!" Sofia said. Back to the weird old guy first. I gave Septimus codex to him, but he didn't seem extremely happy. "I got that lexicon inscription for you." "Extraordinary. I see it now," Septimus replied, "But this dwemer device seems to have a second lock, bound by dwemer blood. A panoply of their brethren could gather to form a facsimile. A trick. Something not even they would anticipate. Gather me vials of blood from Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Falmer and Orsimer." Whatever. Later. I had the final scroll. I walked toward the exit. "Inigo, Sofia, Shirley. You guys can probably go home now. But be on standby. I see some stuff going down soon. I'm going to see a guy about a shout. On a mountain," I explained. They had already walked out when I neared the exit. "What the fuck?" I said. A black, roiling mass was in front of me, filled with eyes and tentacles, blocking my exit. "Come. Bask in my presence," it said. Ew. "No thanks. Who are you?" "Hermaeus Mora. Guardian of the unseen, knower of the unknown. I have been watching you." "Of course you have. I seem to be liked by daedra," I muttered. "Most impressive, mortal." "What do you want?" I asked. "Your continuing to aid Septimus renders him increasingly obsolete. He has served me well, but his time is nearing its end. Once that infernal lockbox is opened, he will have exhausted his usefullness to me. When that time comes, take his place as my emissary. What say you?" "Ugh. Again. No thanks," I replied in disgust. "Be warned. Many have thought as you do, and I have broken them all. You shall not evade me forever," it said before it vanished. I paused there for a moment. First, to make sure all the squicky tentacles were gone, but then to think. If a daedric lord wants something so much that a group of mortals made, then those mortals must be kind of a big deal. At that moment I started to think of the dwemer in a new light. Their tech could definitely do things that not even daedric princes could do. That... was on the level of Tiber Septim, the Nerevarine, or the Hero of Kvatch. Maybe I should look into their tech a little more at some point. Also gotta remember it got them exploded or whatever. I stepped outside. "What took you so long?" Serana asked. "Just... eh, don't worry about it," I said. Then I traveled to High Hrothgar and left Serana and Damien there, scaling to the peak again. As I reached the summit, Paarthurnax landed on a nearby rock face, "You have it! The Kel. Tiid kreh qalos. Time shudders at its touch. There is no question. The very bones of the earth are at your disposal. Go! Fulfill your destiny! Take the scroll to the Time-Wound. Alduin will feel the signs! Hurry!" I stepped into the vortex of power at the top of the mountain and opened the Elder Scroll. I felt a blinding light envelop me, and I was looking into the past. A young man and woman and an old man were fighting with a dragon. "Today Alduin will reclaim his throne! I honor your courage. Die now, in vain!" The dragon yelled. He blasted fire at the man, who stood behind a pillar. The woman leapt atop the dragon's head and slashed it in the eyes, while the man finished it. There was much cheering. The man said, "The battle below grows ill. If Aldun does not rise to our challenge, I fear all is lost." The woman replied, "You worry too much, brother. My blade has felled four of his kin today alone. He can't refuse this invitation." "He cannot ignore out defiance," the old man said, "He does not fear us, even now." And he appeared. That black dread dragon landed on the high rocks above and shouted, "Meyye! Tahrodis aanne! Die, mortals!" "Let those that watch from Sovngarde envy us this day!" The woman shouted. Aldion reared back and the three of them did the same. He shouted and shot a cone of frost, and the three of them answered with, "JOOR - ZAH - FRUL." I could feel that familiar pounding in my ears and I knew it. Dragonrend. Mortal - Finite - Temporary. Alduin fell to the snow and they converged on him. "What have you done?! What twisted words have you created? Tahrodiis Paarthunax! My teeth to his neck!" Alduin roared, "You will feed me when you go to Sovngarde!" "I will not die in fear!" The woman yelled. But it seemed, his weakness wasn't enough to stop him entirely. He snapped the woman in his jaws, and as he flung her in the air, her organs and blood sprayed over the battlefield. Alduin was grounded, but he wasn't out. The man cleaved him several times in the face, but Alduin blasted him with fire that blew him away. "Enough! Hold, Alduin on the Wing! Sister Hawk, grant us your sacred breath to make this contract heard!" The old man pulled out the Elder Scroll, "Begone World-Eater! By words with older bones than even your own! You are banished! Alduin, we shout you out from all our endings unto the last!" Alduin blasted fire at the old man, but the fire hit the scroll and turned to nothing. Alduin faded, and vanished. I blinked, having been ejected from the time wound. Then I heard a roar that made my hair stand up. "Dovahkiin! Alduin is here!" Paarthurnax shouted. Fire fell from the sky in his wake, and he blasted the ground around me with frost, nearly killing me before he flew off again. I chugged a large potion. "What good is knowing this shout if I don't live to use it!" I growled. But then I had an idea. "It's time for you to fulfill your bargain, old buddy. DUR - NEH - VIIR!" I shouted, and a massive undead dragon rivaling Alduin's size sprang forth from the ground. At least that would keep him busy while I got to safety. I pulled out my bow as the two beasts fought in the air. It seemed even Durnehviir had his limits, though. I took careful aim, trying not to hit both, then shouted, "JOOR!" I clipped Alduin in the foot, but it was enough. Suffused with blue energy, he fell to the ground. "Never again!" He roared. I charged in and slashed him in the face. When it seemed like he would recover, I threw another Dragonrend, only using the first word to keep the recovery short and keep him locked on the ground. "Don't you touch her!" Serana yelled, spitting frost as she approached. After moments, Alduin turned to me, and said, "Meyz mul, Dovahkiin. You have become strong. But I am Alduin! Firstborn of Akatosh! I cannot be slain here, by you or anyone else!" Then he leapt into the air, throwing off the effects of Dragonrend and retreating. I sighed in relief as the weather returned to normal. Paarthurnax perched on his word wall, "Lot krongah. You truly have the voice of a dovah. Alduin's allies will think twice after this victory." "Victory? He nearly killed me... several times. And he got away." "True. This is not the final victory. But even the heroes of old were not able to defeat Alduin in open battle," Paarthurnax said. "Well, I did have help," I smiled at Serana. Durnehviir had already returned to the Soul Cairn. "Alduin was always arrogant in his power. Uznahgar paar. He took dominion as his birthright. This will shake the loyalty of his dov." "I need to find him and finish this," I said. "One of his allies could tell us. Perhaps if you drew him to the hofkahsejun - the palace in Whiterun. It was built to house a captive dovah," Paarthurnax explained. "The Jarl of Whiterun might not think kindly to that," I said. "Hmm.. yes, but your su'um is strong. I do not doubt that you can convince him of the need." I turned to Serana, "Well, I guess we need to figure out the name of one of his lieutenants. Esburn is pretty knowledgeable about these kinds of things." I told Damien he could head home, then I traveled back to Sky Haven Temple. I approached Esburn. "I have learned the identity of the leader of the Greybeards." "Yeah, he's a dragon. He's helped me a lot," I said. "Well, need I remind you that the Blades kill dragons? And Paarthurnax performed countless atrocities in Alduin's name. He should be made to pay," Esburn said. "Yeah, well. I'm going to focus on killing Alduin first," I said, not committing to killing him at all, "Esburn, what do you know about other dragons that work for Alduin now?" "Why do you ask, Dragonborn?" "I want to trap him in Dragonsreach and get him to tell me where his master is," I said, "Another idea by Paarthurnax." "Mmmm... excellent idea. Your voice in particular is likely to intrigue a dragon after your victory over Alduin. I have one name in mind - Od - Ah - Viing. Winged Snow Hunter, as I read it." I must be getting better at this, because I picked that one up from a non-thu'um. I instantly learned to call him. I grinned, "Alright. I'm going to see Vidnar. Or Balgruuf. Whichever." I showed up in Whiterun now. This all felt like it was happening so fast, but I was definitely traveling a lot. I walked into Dragonreach and approached "Vignar!" I said, "Good to see you're well." "What do you want, Dragonborn?" He asked. I smiled, "I need to trap a dragon in your palace." "I must've misheard you. I thought you asked me to help you trap a dragon in my palace," Vignar replied. "You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important," I said. "Of course. You already saved Whiterun from a dragon. I owe you. But why would you invite it in when I'm trying to keep it out?" "You may not have heard from the moot you were absent from, but Alduin is back. I'm trying to figure out where he's hiding. To do that, I need to call and trap one of his lieutenants," I explained. He went from a scowl, slowly, to a smile, his moustache curling the length of his face, "You're crazy. But this is just crazy enough to work." "I'll give you some time to prepare. I'm going to go work out the details of this other Elder Scroll."

Hey, it's me. Destana. Ever had a life-changing experience that basically told you to keep doing what you're doing but gave you a purpose? I had that last time. I would go find a way to contact Sanguine again in the future, but for now, it was time to return to the guild. I walked through the gates and to the Bee and Barb. Maven accepted the papers, but it didn't give us a lead as to who was trying to buy the meadery. My reward: an Orcish Dagger of Freezing. I grinned. This would pair well with Dragon's Oath on my main hand. Fire and Ice. I went through the front entrance to the sewers to the flagon. "You! Stop right there!" A man shouted. "Uh what?" "Pay us a toll or get gutted!" Another man brandished an axe. "I'm with the guild," I said, realizing I'd been going through the grave or the grate by the stables every time I came through here except for the first time. The bridge was now raised and these men were threatening me, "You guys were so nice a couple months ago when I came through here." "Oh, it's you," they put their weapons away, "Want us to lower the bridge?" "It's okay. I'll go through the graveyard," I backtracked up to the city again, and immediately got plugged by an arrow. "What the..." I reflexively crouched behind the railing. I looked over to who had been shooting me. Dawnguard? "I'm not a vampire!" I shouted, but the man said nothing, reloading what I realized was a crossbow. I peered over to the guards, who seemed to be either not paying attention or waiting to see how this played out. I dashed for the graveyard and slammed the gate behind me. I narrowed my eyes, "No, I'm not going to take this." I turned and opened the gate, shot at him with an Elven Bow and arrow combination. When he fired back, I'd swung the gate closed again. "You're a bitch!" I shouted, "Shouldn't have attacked me!" I swung the gate open again and let loose another arrow, then shut it as he fired back. Finally, he went around the other side and shot at me from behind. I used terrain to my advantage to get close to him, took out my fire and ice combo while he took out his waraxe. I used a death by a thousand cuts strategy as he tired himself out only doing power attacks until he showed signs that his poise was running out, then I moved in and double-slashed him across the chest. I searched his person. "I wonder why this is a thing...?" I found no note on him, or anything strange. Maybe he thought I was a vamp or something? Well, anyway, free crossbow, and some steel bolts. Having never seen anyone carrying either of these, I knew I'd have to save them. Anyway... I went down the graveyard entrance and took a much needed nap (accommodating as he was, Sanguine's realm wasn't all that comfortable). When I walked out to the bar in the flagon, it was after midnight. I fenced some things with Tonilia (who was up unusually late) and then decided I would poke around. I went into the large bunkroom, thinking I might find Brynjolf in here, though when I got there I realized he was probably sleeping in the Cistern - if he was sleeping. Only one person was actually asleep here. Vex. I walked over to her. I bit my lip. I was thinking about the cockamamie job she and Delvin put me through. I scratched my chin as I looked on her. What would Sanguine do(WWSD)? Spread debauchery. I gently pulled her pants off and went down, trying to pleasure her into not wanting to resist before she fully woke up. By the time her eyes were open, she was moaning, it was dark, and she didn't seem to mind it. Once we got into it we both pulled our clothes off and I flipped over and rubbed mine against hers. When we both finished, she said, "I was going to teach you this one anyway. Seducing women and stealing from them while they're occupied." She laid back down and passed out. Had she realized I'd stolen her Guild Master Boots off the floor when I sped out of there? She never mentioned it again, so, I guess not? I'm the one getting my feet wet and my hands dirty all the time. I went over to the cistern then. Mercer accepted the news with a bit of anger, and then told me next I would be going to Solitude to shake down the guy who he thinks is responsible. Ugh... Solitude. I headed over to the bar in the flagon to accept all Vex and Delvin's quests again, this time it seemed free from funny business. "Oi," Delvin said, pointing to the seat across from him, "Want to practice your seduction skills?" I sat, "What do you mean?" "When you're sucking a man's cock, he'll be hard-pressed to notice you're taking his coinpurse. If you handle the coinpurse correctly that is." I smirked, "Been talking to Vex?" "Always," he sneered back, "You had a go with her, how about me?" "Alright," I said. I led him to the bunkroom and gave him a blowjob. He complimented me on my skills. When we came back to the bar, though, I blinked. Half the people had paired off and were having sex now. Vekel and Vex, Ethelinda (the barmaid) and Dirge, Tonilia and Arius. Sanguine, was this your doing? I smiled. When Vex came up from fucking she said to me, "So, how about it?" "How... about what?" I asked, puzzled. "I heard you wanted to be the guild's cumdump." I nearly immediately said no. Then I opened my mouth and said, "Yes, I want to be the cumdump for the guild. Let all the members or associates fuck me." "Well, I guess that's possible. If you know what you're getting into," she smiled, "You just go on your next mission and when you get back, I'll have let everyone know." I blinked. I... didn't mean to say that. But I felt almost like it was the only thing I *could've* said. Strangely, I didn't correct her. I just turned around, bought some food and drink from still naked Vekel, fenced the rest of my goods with Tonilia (I often have to split this up because I am kindof a kleptomanic packrat), shelled out more than a thousand gold to Arius (Ugh, just take the money) to clear my bounty from Solitude, then climbed out the grate by the stables. I tried not to think about what I had just done. When I arrived in Solitude, I decided not to waste time and went right to my target. He was sitting in an alcove, away from prying eyes. "Let me guess, by your smell you're from the guild," Gulum-Ei said. "I'm here about Goldenglow," I said. "Don't know what you're talking about," he said. "You can drop the act, Gulum Ei," I said. "Oh, wait... did you say Goldenglow Estate? My apologies. I'm sorry to say I know very little about that... bee farm, was it?" He asked. "You acted as a broker for its new owner." "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I can't be expected to remember every deal I handle." "Identify the buyer and we'll forget what we know," I said. "No way. I'm keeping my hands clean," he replied. Dammit. "Give me the buyer's name or I'll kill you," I gritted my teeth. "Hasn't Mercer Frey taught you people anything? You kill me and your only contact with the East Empire Company vanishes. That's not smart for business." Talos' bones! Either I need more training in persuasion or this guy isn't going to budge. I sighed. My jaw is getting tired. I leaned forward, letting my breasts dangle even in the Thieves' Guild armor and rubbed the front of his trousers with my hand, "Nobody needs to know what you told me." "I'm not telling you..." He groaned a little as I took the dick out of his trousers and started to lick it. I was quick, and we weren't seen. When I was done he said, "Well now that I'm satisfied, I bid you good day." He stood and started to walk off. I swallowed the load, my face contorting with rage. I put my hands on my weapons, but a little voice in my head said, 'If you kill him, you won't get anywhere.' I nodded to the voice, realizing I could just follow him. I took a deep breath and crept out at a safe distance. I followed to the East Empire Warehouse, which I expected. I wasn't sure if he knew he was being followed, but this just got a lot harder. As he went deeper into the Warehouse, I noted they seemed to have a lot of guards. I climbed up onto a platform as I watched Gulum-Ei, and when he passed by a guard passed by the other way. I waited a minute, then dropped and slit that one's throat. Hey, danger in the line of duty. If you're put off by random murder, then there's plenty more where that came from. I crept forward, walking up stairs to the side (to check if there were guards watching from up above) and I found a sleeping loft. One guy asleep. Well, it had taken me all day and half the night to get here so it was night-time again. I crept past him to find a man sitting at a table, counting money with his back to me. I walked forward to knock him out and he got up, drawing a sword. Damn. Well, I slashed him a couple times and like a noble he went down, but I hadn't killed him. So I bound and gagged him. I reached into the chest next to him to find... 8000 gold!! One wonders where I would put all this. And on his person was another 2000 gold. Infact, the chest seemed to be holding much more than I could carry so I looked for the most valuable and/or useful things and swiped them. And... I guess I would call this a consolation prize, I got on top of him and fucked him. Then I tied him so tight he'd need help to escape. I crept past the sleeping man again and shot another guard with my bow and one of my best arrows. He closed the distance and I jumped out from behind a small ship and daggered him in the back. I got the last guard in a similar way to the first one, then followed the trail into Deepwater Grotto. As I entered, two men were talking - Bandits, rather than the guards I'd encountered before. Was I even going the right way? Why would the East Empire Company employ bandits? Maybe not as wholesome as they might seem. And I like that in my mind, I was justified in what I was doing. I drew an arrow and shot the little guy, an Archer. A second arrow to his head sent him dead in the water. But the other guy was nearly at me now. Some kind of bandit champion, he bowled me over with a greatsword. I got up, found myself fighting and losing against this brute Orc. After only a few swipes he knocked me off my feet again, stripping the weapons from my hands and then stripping my trousers. I fought the urge to yell as he got on top of me and thrust into me. But knew if there was a chance of me moving forward I'd need to let him get what he wanted. "You're a fool and I'm going to kill you," I whispered as he fucked me from behind. When he was done several minutes later, he sheathed his sword and put back on his armor, going to pick his companion out of the water. Delvin and Vex, you have taught me well, though this tactic is my own. I snuck over to him, still naked with my dagger in hand, and jumped on his shoulders, digging dagger into his throat. He collapsed into the water. If he was alive before, now he was also drowned. Gritting my teeth, I redressed and pressed on. I found two paths: a bridge and a path of spider webs. I used Flames to burn my way through, and got the giant spider inside with an arrow. On the other side, I ripped through the web with my sword and stabbed a bandit woman in the back. Her partner, a man, came at me with a sword, but found himself wanting against my superior skill (hah, right. If only they could all go that way.) and went down easy. Next segment. Somehow I slipped up because the whole group heard me coming and drew weapons. I noted that the archer was going out to the bridge adjacent to get a better shot at me and not approach. Smart. I hid around an outcropping and waited for the warrior, a barely clothed woman to turn the corner. When she did, I slashed her up with a combo from two weapons. She turned and ran, and I fired an arrow in her back. I turned to find a Dog swimming to shore next to me (obviously the archer's pet) and plugged him as well. Then I turned to the archer, who'd already hit me once. We played the strafe game as he walked back across the bridge, we trading bowshots back and forth. We each got a good shot or two in and as he rounded a stone pillar, eyes still on me he set off a log trap and it swung into his chest, pulverizing him and he fell into the water, dead. "My gods," I said. As I looted, I realized it wasn't just me that'd killed the dog. He'd also hit a bear trap as he came onto shore. I laughed out loud. Somebody is looking out for me. And the final bit I found a stone plateau on the right with a small boat in the water. There was a stone pillar and deep behind the pillar was a set of cages, supplies, and Gulum-Ei. Three guards. I hid behind the face of the plateau for the first guard to come out, then stabbed him in the back, dumping him in the water. The second guard was far enough away he didn't hear, but when he came towards me I broke my stealth because he was a friggin ghost. We fought, but the went down in seconds. Not a very good ghost. Now he's double dead, I guess? What do you pay a ghost in, ghost money? The third one was an archer. I jumped up onto the plateau and snuck behind the huge shelves full of loot and plugged him with arrows. When he finally was able to figure out where I was, I already had three arrows in him and the fourth took him down. This was a good day (well, except that one, but I don't think about that). I strode up to Gulum-Ei, "Give me the deed. I'll decide if I'm going to kill you in a minute." "No need to be hasty!" He forked it over, "It's Karliah who's doing all this. I didn't even know it was her until after she'd already set the plan in motion." "Who?" "He really hasn't told you anything, has he?" Gulum-Ei said, "She's the one who got the former guildmaster killed." "Alright," I silently wondered why they weren't giving me the full story. "So you gonna let me live?" He asked. "Sure. But next time a lady sucks your dick, be more forthcoming," I said through gritted teeth. I looted everything of value, then walked out and traveled back to Riften. Too many of these trips across the whole of Skyrim were leaving me dog tired. I slept again, this time it seemed like for a day and a half. When I got up, I felt terrible. It was about sunset again. I figured maybe I would take a stroll around Riften, like a normal person rather than the murderhobo I was. I thought maybe I would go to the shrine and get a blessing and it might cure my ailment, but I found myself at the entrance to the Honorhall Orphanage. And I couldn't remember I was asked to do something here. I figured I'd go inside. Children could be fun. It might ease my feelings. As I stepped in and stood in the doorway, I could hear an old woman talking to the children. "None of you will be adopted, you worthless wretches. You'll always be here. Get used to it. Now go to bed!" She said. I peered around the corner. Grelod the Kind, she was named. And now I remembered. That kid in Windhelm wanted me to kill this woman. Gods, she kept talking. She was horrible, berating them. Telling them they were worthless. But she took care of them. Why? Maybe... funded by the Jarl? Oh my gods, the idea was already in my head. I was already thinking about how to kill her. As I looked upon them, I noticed a younger woman who seemed to be consoling them and helping them as they went to bed. She was the *real* kind one here. Maybe I didn't need to kill the old woman. Maybe I could use some magic and scare her into being a better person. I... didn't really know a lot of magic, and that seemed like it would backfire. Maybe I could give her a savage beating. But, still, brittle bones. I sighed. Okay. I would wait until she went to bed. Then I would feed her poison. Something to keep her from suffering. Gods, I put my hands on my face, I was really going to do this. I waited a few minutes for all the little eyes to shut, then I quietly crept to the backroom, like a Saturnalia elf bringing presents in the form of murder. I shut the door behind me and went through my pack. Aversion to Frost, Aversion to Shock, Weak Stamina. Dammit. I pulled out my sword. In for a silver, in for a septim. This was going to get messy. I stabbed her cleanly and swiftly and she let out a groan. I darted to the cubby with her desk. Just as I expected, the children hadn't been asleep after all. They rushed in. Dammit. Fuck. I don't know why I did this. I looked at my pack again. Limited Invisibility. That would work. I drank it and snuck past them, closing the door behind me, and sprinted out the front door. Aventus, it is your lucky day my friend. I couldn't tell you what on that day compelled me to do that, but I was still feeling sick, so I walked to the temple of Mara. I got the blessing, and I still felt like garbage. I sat down at a pew for a few minutes. "Oh, congratulations!" A dunmer woman said. Dinya Balu. She was the wife of the head priest, and a priestess of mara. "Excuse me?" I asked, "Are you mocking me? I feel like shit." "No, no. Are you telling me you don't know? And you came here just by coincidence?" Dinya asked. "What are you talking about?" "Oh, praise Mara! A miracle! You're pregnant!" ".... what?" I asked. I imagine I didn't have an ounce of happiness about my face. "I mean, if it's unwanted, we have things to take care of that," Dinya said, "Discreetly." I shook my head, "No." I sat there for a moment. Puzzled that I'd messed up mentally tracking my cycle, and not sure what to do. "Tell me," I turned to her again, "Are you able to tell who the father is?" Dinya blinked. Then she smiled again, not trying to judge, I'd wager, "Simple." She concentrated a few seconds, then she tilted her head, "I'm not sure how to tell you this..." "Tell me what?" "No, really, I mean, I don't know what to tell you," Dinya replied, "It's as if the father... doesn't want me to know. What kind of man possesses that kind of oddly specific power?" For the first time in this conversation, I smiled, "I know who." It made sense. He fucked me probably twenty times while I was there for only a couple days. And maybe supernatural sperm does whatever the fuck it wants. Maybe it can wait around until I'm fertile. Maybe it can just get things started without my body even being at the right phase. Who knows. I stood, hungry grin on my face. "Where are you off to?" Dinya asked. "To find the father and tell him the good news," I said, then I turned, "Hey. I need a Necklace of Mara." "Amulet of Mara, and of course," Maramal said, trading the septims for the necklace, "Should we expect you back here within a few days?" "...Maybe," I said back, smiling as I walked out. Dinya blinked again, waving, maybe realizing that this was not your garden-variety happiness. As I suited back up in my traveling clothes I racked my brain about something that'd long laid dormant in my quest log that seemed to be screaming at me now. I flipped through the tome to find, 'A Night to Remember.' To explain myself, I had a quirky way of logging each event that happened with a memorable title until I saw something through to completion. A Night to Remember was the time when I just joined the Thieves Guild and I woke up in the Temple of Dibella after a night of drinking. And at once, I experienced a brain blast. Sam Guivenne! He had the same damned face as Sanguine and the name sounded the goddamn same! I got on a carriage to Markarth, to travel by horse to Rorikstead (I was stacked enough now I could buy 20 horses), the place I'd been blabbing about when I woke up from my night of revelry with Sam. I'm going to show my cleverness now and sweep that bastard off his feet.

Due to my geographic situation gaming and modding has never been easy and wondered if I can download mods for skyrim on my phone and then add them or something to my PS4 Thanks

Hey guys, I'm not experienced with 3d softwares and all the stuff + I'm quite new in the mod community and this is probably something stupid thing that I didn't notice but, here's the thing: I'm having some issues with an armor that I'm modding to Skyrim. The armor is fine, is totally hooked to the bones, the textures are decent... But, as you can see in the shots, when I use some self buff spell like heal or armor flesh, it bugs the texture of this spells. Plus, it has no light reflection when I aproach into to a light source. Did I do something wrong with the meshes? Is something with the textures? Do I need to do any extra config in nifskope? I'm quite lost right now so, any tip will be very useful. Note: Despite of 'Enhanced Lights', there is no mod that affect the visual fx installed. Note²: I'm using 3ds max 2018 to make the models. Note³: Since the textures and the meshes was already made, I just adapted and ported from The Witcher.

You know when you get too close to a npc or follower, they will back off. Is there a way to disable that? Via creation kit or however? I don't know where to look for it or whether it is just hard coded into the engine. Not looking to make them collision-less. Goal is to have them not move at all regardless of distance to you. Obviously not good for general game play. Would aid me on some ideas I have.

View File Hi there! This Mod adds some Weapon artifacts from the TES IV Oblivion and one from Shivering DLC. Name: FOWL - From Oblivion with Lore - Weapon Artifacts [WIP?]; This MOD tries to add some favorite weapons from Oblivion and it is a good option for those who want some lore items instead of custom weapons that have no meaning in TES (nothing against that, I have plentiful of amazing non-lore stuff, don't get me wrong). I got this idea from this Mod after noticed that it lacks some stuff and decided to add some more, using UESP Wiki as reference. This Set adds 8 weapons and staves: - Staff of Indarys (Thunderbolt Enchantment); - Staff of the Everscamp (Conjure Familiar Enchantment); - Hrormir's Ice-staff (Ice Storm Enchantment); - Staff of Worms (Raise Zombie Enchantment); - Nerveshatter War-hammer - Amber version (Base Damage - 29, Shock Damage Enchantment); - Rugdumph's Sword (Base Damage - 24, Paralysis Enchantment); - Blackwater Blade (Base Damage - 8, Damage Stamina Enchantment); - Umbra Great-sword (Base Damage - 24, Soul Trap Enchantment); Umbra Great-sword taken from Here The textures used are from InsanitySorrow Improved Armory To install, just unzip and drop the data folder on the Skyrim main directory.

To get the Set: - use the console; - pick them in a chest near Alduin's Wall in Sky Temple (see screenshots); Notes: - The weapon damage and enchanting values are vaguely based according to the Oblivion ones; - the items are not craftable or upgradable yet. I plan to make them upgradable only. - The staves disappear when sheathed, I am still working on this issue, but if you know how to solve this contact me please. Screenshots at the Download page. Future plans for this mod: - fix reported bugs; - probably add some more weapon artifacts depending on feedback and suggestions; Information: The future development of this Mod will rely greatly with suggestions (not requests); the kind of suggestions I'm looking for are new items (only ones not used on this other mod), item stats and properties (enchants and damage) and pick location (forget quests, the best I could do is spread the items hidden around the game or equip some enemies in a fort or tower for you to fight to get them). Please PM me or reply to this MOD topic discussion, I will consider and reply to every suggestion.

View File Hello! This is the Version 2 of the Raging moon "armor". The Version 1 can be seen here but this one makes it obsolete. The version 2 is a mash-up of some of my favorite mods that I manage to convert to 7base. The first version was more a learning process for me of the 3ds and the CK, but the idea was always to upgrade to a more lore-friendly version and I believe that now the clothing is perfect to fit a barbarian female player or NPC. What this Mod add to the game: Clothing: - Top; - Panties; - Raging Moon Boots; - Bracers; - Amulet. Weapons (up-gradable): - Bow; - Hunter Sword. All with 3 different sets of textures. How to install: * if you have the previous Raging Moon version, please remove it first. - Manual: extract the file, add it to your game folder then activate the RagingMoon.esp. - NMM: Add the file and activate it as usual. How to get the goods: - Craft the items in the forge under Misc tab; Sword under Steel. - type "help raging" in the console (always without commas) and then "player.additem xxxxxxxx", where "xxxxxxxx" is the armor id. FAQ & Issues: Version 2.4 - Please uninstall previous versions before updating to 2.4. Some files were removed, FormIDs changed, so your previous equipment will be gone. Just craft/add it again via console. Q - How to get the different top colors? A - After the installation, go to your Skyrim game folder and then to the Data\Meshes\Clothes\RagingMoon\ folder. There you see 4 folders, each one named with the different colors. Just select the files from the folder you want and drag them to the previous folder, replacing everything. I have add a screenshot for each re-texture. The base (default) color is white. If you know how to work with NifSkope, just open the ragingmoontop_0, ragingmoontop_1 and ragingmoontop_gnd and simply change the texture (not the t_n.dds, just the first texture file). Q - Who made this mods? A - All the meshes used are from other authors, this is just a mash-up that I would like to share. You can check the authors in the end of this post, I have add links for their main pages. Q - Any know issues? A - Just a couple for now, one that I am trying to fix and other probably not fixable. 1 - There is a clipping issue between the back part of the panties and the quiver if you use the Belt-Fastened Quivers from Chesko Mod; this is probably not fixable; 2 - The Hunter Sword is invisible in the left hand if you use the Dual Sheat Redux; I've tried to fix this using the tutorial, but no luck yet. This should be fixable, it's just a question of time. Q - Why did you not place all the top textures ready to use instead of only use one of a time? A - Believe me, I have tried to do that, but the bodyslide went nuts. I copy-past the ragingmoontop_0, ragingmoontop_1, give them different names, changed the textures and add them in the CK, but every time I changed the weights using the showracemenu command,the body start to clipping the clothes or creating gaps between the neck and the body, so I give up and decided to use this primitive method instead. Sorry for that. Q - Is this compatible with my body mod? A - Probably. The body (7B) is embedded in the Nif files, so it will replace the default body. I have tried with my NPC followers who have different body mods than my character and I have no problem. Future plans: - Make the Dual Sheath Redux work properly with the Sword; - Fix reported Bugs; Thanks and Credits: * Darigaz17 for the Top, panties and Neclace. * Sevennity for 7B body. * Halo from Halofarm for the Badass Bow (slightly re-texture of his Black bonemold Bow);; * Sushiyant for the Hunter Sword (slightly re-texture of his Ariyan Hashashion Sword); * ??? for the Blood Hound Armor (Could't track the author, I got the files from here: ) * Bethesda for TESV Skyrim * And all the modders that help improve this amazing game by creating mods, leaving great video tutorials or helping noobs like me!
