In Which Ysani Recovers Another Schematic
This was a short Sunday night session, and mostly just featured buying a bunch of spellbooks and getting another schematic recovered for Sorine.

In Which Ysani Escapes Alftand With the Dragon Scroll
This session saw the conclusion of the run through Alftand, and the acquisition of the “Dragon” Elder Scroll, needed for both the main plot and for Dawnguard! And, epilogue with returning to Fort Dawnguard and following up on further plot pointers there.

In Which Ysani Escapes the Soul Cairn
As hoped, this post covers play for Tuesday 3/22 and Wednesday 3/23, in which I finished up Ysani’s adventures in the Soul Cairn!

In Which Ysani Finds Recruits for the Dawnguard
Three main themes to this session: dragon killing, bear killing (a perfectly ridiculous number of bears!), and moving the Dawnguard plot along! Recruited Sorine and Gunmar, and had the reunion with Serana that leads to the quest to find a Moth Priest!

In Which Ysani Meets the Master of the Greybeards
Short-ish session that mostly amounted to hoofing it from Heljarchen to High Hrothgar, so that I could seek the knowledge of the Dragonrend Shout–and meet Paarthurnax! Then, returning to Fort Dawnguard to report in to Isran about that whole ‘found a vampire and an Elder Scroll but gave both back to a castle full of vampires’ situation.

In Which Ysani Discovers and Rescues a Vampire
With this session, I officially got the Dawnguard plot underway! Found and rescued Serana at Dimhollow Crypt, and escorted her home to Castle Volkihar–with a stop along the way at Deepwood Redoubt and Hag’s End, where I confirmed that why yes, if you have Serana with you, you can in fact get the Ancient Shrouded Armor normally only available there if you’re in the Dark Brotherhood!

In Which Ysani Joins the Dawnguard
I had thought I was going to go up to High Hrothgar and check on that Paarthurnax situation in this session—didn’t work out that way. Instead, I wound up doing a few rounds of bandit and dragon fighting at Lakeview, and then went off to find Fort Dawnguard! Because I hear they need vampire hunters.

In Which Ysani Raids the Thalmor Embassy
Main action of this session: a thing Ysani’s been waiting for for months, her chance to strike back against the Thalmor! By which I mean: raiding their embassy, rather more violently and spectacularly than I planned!
-
In Which Ysani Defeats the Wolf Queen and Becomes Thane of Haafingar
By contrast to the last couple of sessions, this one was very action-packed! Not only did I get Potema settled, I also achieved the thaneship of Haafingar.
And got the Wabbajack on the side. And the 22nd and 23rd Stones of Barenziah!

In Which Ysani Does More General Adventuring
Another general adventuring session, while I worked on leveling up to 58 so I could do the rest of the Potema plot. Ran Volunruud and Yngol’s Barrow, and fought two different Ancient Dragons!
