Guess This Location.

Thats Reachwater Rock, a supposed skeever den with no skeevers. Ending point for the Amulet of Gaulder quest chain, where you can beat down his 3 sons, again, and then he reforms a really lackluster amulet.

 

*steals cookie*

 

Correctamundo!  BTW, where is it called a skeever den?  Does some NPC refer to it that way in dialogue?

Solitude and Dragon bridge guards do, sometimes, when they tell you about it and mark it on the map. That won't always happen, I think based on whether they have anything else to say and level maybe.

 

[PubliusNV]

Ok, I'm out of screen shots, somebody else please post something

[Inte]

 

So it's cookie time?

 

Yes!  Have one of Inte's, I'm all out

 

And another ...

Nah, I am not sharing my cookies!

[PubliusNV]

Since nobody posted anything today, I went out and got another shot of my own ...

 

 

There's a clue in there ...

[Inte]

The marker is  Peak's Shade Tower.

 

It's south of Pinewatch.

That's correct, but it's not the clue I was referring to.  There's a particular quest tied to this spot ...

 

[karlpaws]

I saw the White Stag and his name on the SLAM widget so I thought it had to be there.

 

What is the nordic ruin or whatever that next icon is, Pub?

Right, it's the pond where the White Stag from "Ill Met by Moonlight" is found.

 

I'm not sure about the nordic ruin, it might be a somewhat distant South Shriekwind Bastion.

 

[Inte]

Here is one. 

[PubliusNV]

That's the spider trap along the road from the Nightgate Inn to Irkngthand, about half way.

[Inte]

That is correct.

[PubliusNV]

I might have cropped too much out of this one.  Anyway, I'm interested in guesses as to where my PC is standing, with this view.

 

[karlpaws]

Looking south east at a mill and stables, with a farm or mine nearby.

 

the bird headed statue is a nordic ruin of some kind and high up, but I don't think you're at the recently mentioned Shriekwind though that'd be a logical and local spot.

 

Merida's temple comes to mind, because the mill / stables positioning would be correct but I don't think it has eagle head statues. You should also be able to see the stormcloak camp from there so that's ruled out (unless you're far enough along the CW quest and took the Imperial side which I think lets you wipe out the camps).

 

Now that I think about it, the camp would be closer to Dragon Bridge because I would have aggro issues between the Bridge guards and stormcloaks when I had a bug (had turned stealth up too high/made it too easy and it turns out that extends the "viewing" distance because you get too good at spotting someone when you're infinitely good at sneaking).

 

So I bet you have a locked chest just to your left and a little bit of a bridge just to your right and possibly a new elven sword and shield.

[PubliusNV]

Meridia's temple is correct!  Nice job ... I purposely angled the screen shot so that you couldn't see one of the light beams just off the upper left hand side, that would have made it obvious.  The eagle's head statues are on the balcony.

[PubliusNV]

What is it with mages leaving all those empty wine bottles around?

 

[karlpaws]

Eh. You'd think mages don't need a smithy but what does he do? He works the forge.... and drinks, apparently.

[PubliusNV]

Maybe he's making jewelry to enchant, like Eldawyn from the Interesting NPCs mod.

[karlpaws]

Nah. If you didn't recognize it, that's the line said by the male smith that's on the left side of that forge, behind the candles. He and the female sitting in the chair (but sometimes she gets up) have a short conversation in that room off the first room inside Morvunscar.

Ah, I'd forgotten that, thanks for pointing it out.  And yes, that is Morvunskar.

 

[Inte]

Most tricky, no?

[PubliusNV]

Is that another one of the cages you've added?

I use this mod instead.  It doesn't have a cage behind the smithing hut. I do like that ridge though I never use my knife there. I avoid the rockfall trap often by coming up from the east and picking off bandits from behind the straw archery targets... pretty close to where you took that shot.

Why, yes it is.

Correct!

You should use your knife on that ridge but only if it's pointy.

[Punga]

Knifepoint Ridge.
