In Which Ysani Does Assorted Side Quests
In this session I took a break from the main Thieves Guild plots and did a bunch of side quests instead. Mostly because I wanted to build up a gold balance, so I could get in some training, work on improving Iona’s gear, and get more building and crafting materials.
We’ll return to the Thieves Guild action shortly!

In Which Ysani Sabotages a Mead Tasting and Commits Thievery in Solitude
This session was all about the Thieves Guild action, primarily main plot stuff, but also a little side action as well! And I’m getting far enough along on the main Guild plot to get to the really fun stuff.

In Which Ysani Begins Work for the Thieves Guild
With this session, I get the Thieves Guild’s plotline underway in earnest! And set some beehives on fire, and filch an incriminating bill of sale!

In Which Merawen Slays the World-Eater in Sovngarde
As I pretty much expected, this session officially finished off Merawen’s run! Did the final big events of the main Skyrim plotline, starting from trapping Odahviing in Dragonsreach and taking it all the way through defeating Alduin for good in Sovngarde!
This is also Merawen’s last official session, and her second to last post. The final post will be a “thoughts on her run” kind of post, similar to the one I did for Alarrah.

In Which Merawen Does Yet More General Adventuring and Crafting
Very, very low-key session. Still in the midst of the push to get to level 80, and to get my magic skills up to 90/100.

In Which Merawen Continues General Adventuring
Very low-key session in which I did only a little actual adventuring, really—and a lot of crafting to work on leveling up.

In Which Merawen Acquires the Spellbreaker Shield
This session was mostly all about running the quest called The Only Cure, which is the Daedric quest for the Spellbreaker shield, the reward given you by Peryite. More on this, and other action, behind the fold!

In Which Merawen Tells Sapphire About Her Father, and Slays a Dragon in Solitude
This session turned out to be focused entirely on a jaunt back to Skyrim proper. I’d gone over intending to do a circuit of all the houses and sell things, but a couple of surprises turned up!
Not the least of which was my very first incident of having to fight a dragon right inside Solitude.

In Which Merawen Slays a Dragon Priest and Quests for the Dawnguard
Mostly familiar territory again in this session, only this time, there was more mileage of stuff done in different ways. Not the killing of the Dragon Priest Hevnoraak–that did go pretty much as it had done for Alarrah–but I got some fun variations of events once I returned to the Dawnguard plotline and got Serana at my back.

In Which Merawen Becomes Thane of the Reach and Gains Markarth for the Guild
This session was pretty much all about Markarth—becoming thane for the current Jarl, and also gaining a foothold in the city for the Guild.
Also, got my Smithing up to 100 and was able to unlock Dragon Smithing, finally! \0/
