In Which Ysani Does Crafting and Fights Dragons
Like you do, if you’re the Dragonborn. This is a double session post! Come for the in-depth smithing, stay for the hard fights with Revered Dragons! And a side helping of paragon portal loot running through the Forgotten Vale.
Play covered here is for Monday night and Tuesday night of this week. (I didn’t play last night.)

In Which Ysani Finds Auriel’s Bow
This is another double session post, covering play done on Wednesday 3/29 and Thursday 3/30. Put these two sessions together, because both of them together basically were the entire run of Forgotten Vale this time through! And since this is now the fourth time I’ve run Forgotten Vale, individual sessions in it didn’t quite have enough new material for a single session to stand on its own.

In Which Delga Hunts for Schematics and Blood Samples
This session was more tying up of loose ends post-Dawnguard: hunting for more schematics for Sorine, visiting the Paragon Portal in the Forgotten Vale, and tracking down the remaining needed blood samples for Septimus.
And oh yes: getting the Oghma Infinium, and the next meeting with Hermaeus Mora!

In Which Delga Acquires Auriel’s Bow
This is another double session post, covering gameplay done on the night of Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th! Main goals of these sessions were to do Ancestor’s Glade and the entirety of Forgotten Vale. But there was a hefty side helping of encounters with the Traveler, as well as Double Dragon Surprise!

In Which Merawen Slays Lord Harkon Then Catches Up On Side Business
This session saw the conclusion of the Dawnguard plot, with the slaying of Lord Harkon, Serana’s father. And with the Dawnguard plot over and done, I took care of a lot of side business after that!
-
In Which Merawen Acquires Auriel’s Bow
And now, at last, the conclusion of Merawen’s trek through the Forgotten Vale! Played through the rest of that locale rather faster than I had done with Alarrah; I skipped large parts of it. See below for details!

In Which Merawen Proceeds Through the Forgotten Vale
Session number two on the great trek through Forgotten Vale! This was a short session, being a Sunday night one. And as expected, I didn’t make it out of the vale yet.
-
In Which Merawen Dives Headlong into Forgotten Vale
Now we’re down to it, the Forgotten Vale, definitely my favorite part of the Dawnguard quest line! I did not finish it in this session, but I did get through Darkfall Cave and Darkfall Passage, and made good inroads on Forgotten Vale itself once I got there.
It’ll probably take me another couple of sessions to finish it up and finally get Auriel’s Bow!
-
In Which the Dragonborn Slays Lord Harkon
This session saw the ending of the main Dawnguard plotline, which was over surprisingly quickly! So I did a few epilogue-type things afterwards, and then a bunch of general building and crafting and selling.

In Which the Dragonborn Acquires Auriel’s Bow
This post actually covers two sessions, because boy howdy is the dungeon for finding the Bow enormous.
As always, highlights and details behind the fold!
