In Which Shenner Slays Bandits and Finds a Vampire Hunter’s Weapons
Another session full of some satisfying new stuff courtesy of the AE! Mostly centered in Haafingar this time, with a side helping of venturing off to an island and being reminded that yeaaaah, going after a location called Giant’s Tooth when you’re only level 17 is not the wisest plan.

In Which Faanshi Quests Through Shriekwind Bastion and Shadowgreen Cavern
This is a double session post, brought on by trying to continue Faanshi’s run simultaneously with exploring running Skyrim on my PC laptop now! The action here was two short sessions with her across the last couple of days, Wednesday 5/18 and Thursday 5/19, doing low-key side plots in Shriekwind Bastion and Shadowgreen Cavern.

In Which Faanshi Acquires Dawnbreaker and Returns a Dog to His Master
In keeping with the tradition set up by previous playthroughs, I ran A Daedra’s Best Friend pretty much simultaneously with The Break of Dawn in this session–which let me, yet again, have the Daedra dog Barbas on hand to help me run Kilkreath and get Dawnbreaker. I continue to have no fucks to give about either the Rueful Axe or the Masque of Clavicus Vile, but oh boy howdy do I have fucks to give about Dawnbreaker! And Barbas continues to be helpful in getting it.

In Which Ysani Begins Daedric Quests
High action in this session as I started two different Daedric quests—the ones for Clavicus Vile and Meridia!

In Which Delga Interrupts the Resurrection of the Wolf Queen
Continuing my efforts to become Thane of All the Places, this session saw me make progress towards doing that in Haafingar, by doing part one of the Potema plot and buying Proudspire Manor.
Also, surprise housecarl standing down as Lydia volunteered herself to be my steward at Windstad Manor!

In Which Delga Routs Necromancers in Hob’s Fall Cave and Bandits in Silverdrift Lair
Another side quests type session, focusing on getting the word off the Word Wall in Silverdrift Lair, and then retrieving the flute for Pantea at the Bards College.
Where, I discovered to my shock, it is actually possible for the college NPCs to have a class! :O

In Which Delga Becomes Thane of Riften
High amount of things accomplished this session! Got Nettlebane and brought Danica Pure-Spring a sapling of Eldergleam. Cleared Ustengrav, and discovered some mysterious party had made off with the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller (ohnoez WHO COULD IT BE). Got Noster One-Eye in Solitude his missing helmet. Got enough ingredients to go finish up Balimund’s quest and a bonus, enough ice wraith teeth for Marise. So I was able to eventually buy Honeyside, and become Thane of Riften!
I started the Bards College quest, just to get the skill bumps off of that. And parked myself at Forsaken Cave to do the White Phial retrieval.

In Which Delga is Inducted into the Circle
This session saw the first important milestone in the Companions plotline—i.e., when the player is inducted into the Circle, the upper tier of the faction. And by “inducted”, I mean, “is invited to become a werewolf”.
Aside from that, I did another dragon kill bounty and hunted all over the damn place for assorted ingredients!
-
In Which Delga Acquires the Rueful Axe
Main theme of this session was Daedric questing–not only going after the Rueful Axe to satisfy Clavicus Vile, but also bringing Meridia’s beacon to her statue and beginning the quest to get Dawnbreaker!
And I’m way more interested in Dawnbreaker than the Masque, so Vile’s just going to have to wait until I cleanse Meridia’s temple for her!
(Posting this late on a Saturday but this is actually the play session for Friday the 5th.)

In Which the Dragonborn is Reminded of the Main Plot
Last night’s run was me finally going “y’know, I really ought to move the main plot of this game along another notch”—but, being me, that wasn’t all I did, either!
