In Which Harrowhark Becomes Arch-Mage and is Kidnapped by the Brotherhood
So this was a nice big eventful session, which involved recovering the Staff of Magnus from Labyrinthian, becoming Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold, and getting kidnapped by Astrid to kick off the Dark Brotherhood plotline!

In Which Harrowhark Learns the Location of the Staff of Magnus
More mage college action here, running Mzulft, and then returning to the college and witnessing the death of the Arch-Mage!

In Which Kendis Recovers Stolen Books for the Mage College
This is Kendis’ run through Fellglow Keep! Also features getting the dragonscale armor at Yorgrim Overlook, and a whole helluva lot of freezing weather, because this is what happens when you ride from the College of Winterhold down to Windhelm in Survival Mode.

In Which Harrowhark Speaks to the Augur of Dunlain and Journeys to Mzulft
Double session post, mostly featuring exploring a bunch of changes to the mage college thanks to the Immersive College of Winterhold mod. <3 But I also got in working on the side quests for the mage apprentices, retrieving the staff for Enthir (this time from Pinemoon Cave), and then raiding Faldar’s Tooth for the clue about finding the sword Bloodthirst. And I got the Augur of Dunlain to point me at the Staff of Magnus, and Mirabelle to point me at Mzulft for finding clues on its whereabouts!

In Which Kendis Becomes Harbinger and Joins the College of Winterhold
Meanwhile, back on the werewolf playthrough, I made it to Ysgramor’s Tomb to purify the spirit of Kodlak of his lycanthropy, and as long as I was right nearby, I also joined the College of Winterhold!

In Which Harrowhark Gets Bloodchill Cavern and Joins the College of Winterhold
Finally made it to the mage college in Harrowhark’s playthrough, which is later than I’ve historically done it! But it was particularly satisfying this time, because I’d kind of forgotten that I have the Immersive College of Winterhold mod installed. And I finally got to start seeing it in action. 😀
Also, I have acquired Bloodchill Cavern–which plays out significantly differently if you come into the place as a vampire.

In Which Faanshi Defeats Ahzidal, Miraak and Alduin
As predicted, I spent another couple of sessions finishing up Faanshi’s playthrough so I could free the Switch for running Survival Mode! This therefore is Faanshi’s last session post, covering both of the sessions I did with her.
Main actions in this pair of sessions: defeating Miraak in Apocrypha, Ahzidal in Kolbjorn Barrow, and Alduin in Sovngarde!

In Which Shenner Acquires Auriel’s Bow and Slays Lord Harkon
Just to go back and revisit Skyrim for a bit, here’s the next post in Shenner’s playthrough!
Double session post, in which I finish up the end of Dawnguard in Shenner’s run. Main action: speed-running Forgotten Vale so I could get Auriel’s Bow, and then heading off to Castle Volkihar to take out Serana’s father.
-
In Which Shenner Returns to the Mainland
Another double session post, since the first half of this was too short to really count for a post on its own. Basically this was final post-Miraak action on Solstheim before Shenner officially returned to the Skyrim mainland.
-
In Which Faanshi Destroys the Dark Brotherhood
Take that, assassins!
And oh yes, I also got the final Stone of Barenziah, which meant I was able to go after the crown as well, and set it up with the Thieves Guild. As any self-respecting Guildmaster ought to do! Also, dropped off books with Urag at the college and Jazbay grapes with Avrusa Sarethi, and took out the dragon at Autumnwatch Tower.
