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 Shenner Slays Ildari Sarothril
Last night’s session in Shenner’s playthrough was basically trying to get through Highpoint Tower so I could take out Ildari Sarothril! Finally did it, though it took several tries!

In Which Shenner Finds a Briarheart for Neloth
This is technically a double session post, but since I only briefly touched Shenner’s run on the 14th, I’m calling this a single session played on two different days!
Main highlights: another loot selling and dropping off run on the Skyrim mainland, before returning to Neloth on Solstheim and getting the quest to go after Ildari Sarothril.

In Which Shenner Attends to Loose Ends
After taking out Miraak, anything else I do on Solstheim is entirely clearing up loose ends. But that’s okay! It made for a somewhat more relaxed play session, as I journeyed around the island doing assorted side quests.

In Which Shenner Defeats Miraak in Apocrypha
I went ahead with the rough plan to go ahead and take out Miraak before finishing off my various other actions on Solstheim. Partly to switch it up for once, and partly because it kind of felt appropriate this time through, as part of Shenner’s version of the “help the island of Solstheim” narrative.
But that was the main action! The rest was going to Fahlbtharz to reforge Trueflame, clearing White Ridge Barrow, and taking care of more side quests at Tel Mithryn.

In Which Shenner Rescues a Curate and Slays a Priest of Dagoth Ur
Most of this session was actually taking a Dragonborn break, and doing a circuit through Skyrim’s major cities and selling off a bunch of accumulated loot. But I also moved the Ghosts of the Tribunal plotline further along, and took out a renegade priest of Dagoth Ur who threatened the temple. Also, I finished up Kolbjorn Barrow!

In Which Shenner Returns to Kolbjorn Barrow and Enters Benkongerike
I would not normally have bothered to put up a post for a playthrough this short, but I wanted to gush some more about the graphics experience I’m getting in Skyrim on the Deck now. 😀 So here we go!

In Which Shenner Claims the Deathbrand Hoard and the Black Bow of Fate
This Shenner session is a milestone: the very first time I tried out playing Skyrim on my new Steam Deck! Very satisfying experience over all. And satisfying for Shenner as well, as she got to kill several pirate ghosts and a dragon, and collect more shiny loot. <3

In Which Shenner Finds a Mask and Rehomes Some Nords
More action with the secret Tribunal cult on Solstheim! Got the Mask of Vivec, and also just generally explored the temple. Also, did another round in Kolbjorn Barrow, and helped the Nords led by Bujold get back their home.

In Which Shenner Investigates a Cult and Black Books
Mix of old stuff and new stuff in this session! I got the Ghosts of the Tribunal plot seriously underway, which necessitated not only visiting Fahlbtharz, but also investigating the Ashfall’s Tear cavern behind Raven Rock Mine. And then, just to move the main Dragonborn plot along a little further, I went to talk to Neloth and ran Nchardak!
