Day Ten and Eleven: Grapes of Wrath

March 28, 2008

A bright orange sphere signals that it is morning, but it’s not the sun. It’s Sir Dion of Beta-Carotine, the guardsman, standing in my room.

I’m kind of annoyed. What kind of scumbag walks into someone’s room while they’re sleeping, wakes them up, and has a little chat?

Oh, right. Right.
Anyway, Dion is [...]

Day Nine: Man About Town

March 24, 2008

It’s a lovely yet somewhat hazy morning in a new town.
I stride purposefully through the streets of Skingrad, looking for a place to empty my bulging pockets. It’s been a long, troublesome trip, but it’s about to pay off.
I find Colovian Traders, a shop toward the north end of Skingrad. There I meet [...]

Day Eight, Concluded: Off to Beat the Wizard

March 21, 2008

[I apologize, in advance, for the lack of and quality of the images in this entry. This all took place in the dead of night where I could barely see my health meter in front of my own face. In order to see anything in the screenshots, I have to really tweak the [...]

Day Eight, Cont’d: Hard Out There For An Imp

March 19, 2008

An imp! Interrupting my relaxing swim! He’s got some gall. Ha ha. That will be funny in a minute.

There’s nothing worse than being confronted by a winged hellspawn while wearing sopping wet underpants. Luckily, when I stripped down I neglected to remove my short sword (somehow it’s clipped to my enormous [...]

Day Eight: Treading Water

March 17, 2008

Dawn arrives at Mortal Camp, finding a very sluggish and sleepy Nondrick P. Cairk’tir. Still, there’s a long way to walk today, and those flowers aren’t going to pick themselves.

I should be able to reach Skingrad today, provided I don’t have to wander too far from the road or have to set any women [...]

Day Seven: Girl Trouble

March 12, 2008

Off to Skingrad! A large town in the West Weald, divided in two by a rolling valley, Skingrad is home to the finest vineyards in all of Cyrodiil. It’s also really, really far away for an NPC who doesn’t fast-travel or own a horse.

Still, I’m determined to reach it. It’s definitely [...]

Day Six: Hungry Like the Wolf

March 9, 2008

A new day! To the south, adventure beckons! So, Nondrick heads north. You know how he is about adventure.
A quick stop at the Wayshrine of Arkay buffs my health, and, tiring of the usual breakfast of beef and berries, I attempt to take down a deer, at range, with a fireball. I [...]
