In Which Finds-the-Way Becomes Thane of Haafingar and Saves the Gildergreen
There’s a bit of advancing the Thieves Guild plotline in this pair of sessions for Finds-The-Way, but mostly, this is all about a bunch of side questing since I’m trying to kill some time and get her more leveled up before I push the Guild plot further along. Main highlights here: running Mara’s Eye Pond, Cronvangr Cave, the Blessings of Nature quest, dropping off the horn at a shrine of Talos for Elisif, and two different quests for Forsaken Cave. And I got Proudspire Manor, and became thane in Haafingar!

In Which Kendeshel Claims Some Ships and Solves a Haunting
This is the third of three posts covering main action for the Project AHO mod, so I’ll be getting into major spoilers for that mod’s plotline.
There is also plot action in here for Legacy of the Dragonborn, specifically involving the quests Night At the Museum and It Belongs in a Museum.

In Which Kendeshel is Kidnapped and Sold into Slavery
This Kendeshel post covers my getting Runil’s journal for him out of Sunderstone Gorge, getting the thaneship in Falkreath, starting the building of Lakeview Manor, meeting Delphine in Riverwood, and getting on the road with her to go to Kynesgrove and kill Sahloknir…
At which point the plotline for the Project AHO mod kicked in. This post will include major spoilers for that mod in particular, so please be advised. If you think you might want to run this mod but don’t want the spoilers for it, please have a look at my Review of Project AHO mod (non-spoiler version) post.
Some minor spoilers as well for Legacy of the Dragonborn. Brief mentions of actions for the Book of Wonders quest, as well as changes I noted with the progression of the storyline in general, and certain tweaks the mod makes to AE Skyrim content.

In Which Kendeshel Acquires Dawnbreaker and the Masque of Clavicus Vile
As has become standard in the early stages of my Skyrim playthroughs, I did the double header of running A Daedra’s Best Friend parallel with The Break of Dawn. Because Barbas is just too damned useful when it comes to going after Malkoran!
Also, I ran Robber’s Gorge, took out the bandit Peladius at Dragon Bridge, claimed Hendraheim as a house, took out Kematu and his warriors to resolve the In My Time of Need quest, worked on building out the farm at Goldenhills Plantation, and got Noster Eagle-Eye his helmet back.

In Which Kendeshel Journeys to Skyrim, Again
This is take two of Kendeshel’s starting session in my Legacy of the Dragonborn Skyrim playthrough. As I previously posted, I had to start over because I found annoying mod breakage that I didn’t want to put up with! Action is almost the same as in my previous starting session, minus stopping in Dragon Bridge, plus a bit more exploration in Helgen given that this playthrough also includes Alternate Start.

In Which Kendeshel Comes to Skyrim in Search of Relics
NEW PLAYTHROUGH! And this is a big chonky playthrough start, because in this one, I’m running Legacy of the Dragonborn. And Alternate Start. Which means I had a whole new way to experience the start of a Skyrim run, with a whole big new gigantic mod to play with. This is going to be fun. đ

In Which Kendis Becomes Arch-Mage and Returns Some Instruments
Double session post, with the main action being acquiring the Staff of Magnus, using it to save the College of Winterhold, and returning the lost instruments to the Bards College.
And oh yeah: these are the sessions that saw me decide to bail on Survival Mode.

In Which Shenner Joins the Bards College
This session was another mix of old and new stuff, though a bit more of the old stuff this time. Got officially inducted into the Bard’s College, which was familiar! But part of finding the lost flute for Pantea netted me a whole bunch of spells that were not. Though they do appear to be tasty!

In Which Faanshi Joins the Bards College
Busy session! This one was all about running Dead Menâs Respite and bringing King Olafâs verse back to the Bardâs College, and accomplishing the first of the âgo get an instrumentâ quests. With a side helping of starting the museum quest in Dawnstar, taking out a bandit chief at Broken Helm Hollow, and coming to the attention of Brynjolf in Riften!

In Which Merawen Learns Who Took the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller
This was another very eventful session, with a lot of bouncing around between various locations, and some moving along of the main plot as well. Main-plot-wise, I’m to the point of having the Thalmor Embassy as the next major thing to do. Side-plot-wise, I got Dawnbreaker! And spent enough time in Whiterun that it felt a lot like an Alarrah session, really.
Which just goes to show that I need to get back to the Thieves Guild. Muahaha.
