In Which Faanshi Slays a Dragon Priest and Aids Some Forsworn
Two major items of note in this session: killing the dragon and the Dragon Priest Krosis at Shearpoint, and running the Forsworn Conspiracy in Markarth! With a side helping of thievery action as well.

In Which Ysani Brings Ingjard to the Blades
This is nominally a double session post—I say nominally, because while this post covers play done on Thursday 5/5 and Friday 5/6, Friday’s play session was super short.
Main action: getting Ingjard of the Dawnguard on deck as a follower, and taking her through Forelhost before presenting her as a recruit for the Blades. And then hiring Vorstag in Markarth, and beginning to take him through Ragnvald.

In Which Ysani Retrieves Grimsever for Mjoll the Lioness
In this post, I’m covering play done on Sunday 5/1 and Monday 5/2. Main action here: finishing a run through all my various places, selling off a bunch of loot brought home from Solstheim. Then commencing an effort to find recruits for the Blades—and at the same time, see about rescuing Thorald Gray-Mane from the Thalmor!

In Which Ysani Quests Through Benkongerike, Kolbjorn Barrow, and All of Skyrim
Another double session, covering play done on Saturday 4/23 and Sunday 4/24. Main action: running Benkongerike (and picking up the Black Market power!), running phase three of Kolbjorn Barrow, then doing a grand tour of Skyrim to a) do a loot selling run, and b) work my way over to Lost Valley Redoubt so I could inspect a briarheart for Neloth.

In Which Ysani Discovers the Oghma Infinium and Heads to Solstheim
This is another double session, this time covering play done on Monday 4/11 and Tuesday 4/12.
Main action here was moving the Discerning the Transmundane plot along and finding the Oghma Infinium, and oops welp Septimus sure did disintegrate, and now I have a Daedra calling me his champion? Yay?
The rest of the action here was all about prepping for my Solstheim run with this character, including improving Volendrung so I could hand it over to Argis.

In Which Ysani Slays Falmer, Dragons, and a Thalmor Assassin
Here’s another double session post, covering the play I did on Saturday 4/9 and Sunday 4/10! Lots of places visited in these two sessions, including Nchuand-Zel, Liar’s Retreat, Ironbind Barrow, and Bleakcoast Cave! And also, two different named dragons fought and slain, Nahagliiv and Viinturuth, as well as a pesky very bad kitty, the Thalmor assassin J’datharr.

In Which Ysani Quests for the Temple of Mara
Another double session post, covering play done on Thursday 4/7 and Friday 4/8. Main action for this was doing a couple of minor quests I hadn’t ever done before, both of which were for the Temple of Mara in Riften: The Book of Love, and Spread the Love.
And after that rather romantic break, I swung back around to more typical Skyrim action–finding another schematic for Sorine, and then returning to Septimus to begin the next phase of Discerning the Transmundane.

In Which Ysani Acquires Volendrung
I hadn’t actively planned to go after Volendrung this run, but it kind of worked out that way! So this session turned out to be all about getting the gigantic hammer, which I’ll likely hand off to Argis once I have it improved to my satisfaction.
Also, this post is going up a little late. It’s the post for play done on Sunday 4/3.

In Which Ysani Marries Her Housecarl
Very eventful session with three overall main themes: moving the main plot along enough to get to Alduin’s Wall (and by extension, getting the Blades Armor and Dragonbane); finding the Crown of Barenziah, and bringing it back to the Thieves Guild; and last but not least, marrying Argis the Bulwark!

In Which Ysani Rescues Esbern from the Ratway
I’m posting this on Tuesday 3/15, but this post is actually for the play on Sunday 3/13.
This session was all about moving the main plot along a bit more, as I followed directly on the raid on the Thalmor Embassy by finding Esbern, getting him reunited with Delphine, and proceeding to the quest to find Alduin’s Wall.
And oh yeah, killing Vuljotnaak on the way, and another Thalmor execution squad. Ysani has definitely made the Thalmor very, very cranky!
