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!

In Which Ysani Foils a Conspiracy and Adopts a Second Daughter
This is a double session post, covering play done on Sunday 3/6 and Monday 3/7. Aside from the usual building and crafting, the main action in this post is running the Forsworn Conspiracy plot. But with a hefty side helping of major dragon attack at Left Hand Mine near Markarth—and my adopting a surprise second child!

In Which Ysani Goes on a Thieving Spree
I had thought I’d hit the Thalmor Embassy in this session. But Paul pointed out to me quite correctly that that is a thing I really should savor, so I think I’ll be keeping that for the weekend when I have time for longer play sessions! So in the meantime, that’ll let me finish up all the stuff necessary to become Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild!
And with that goal in mind, I finished up Solitude and started in on Markarth’s jobs!

In Which Ysani Becomes Thane of the Reach, and Also a Nightingale
This is the first of two Skyrim posts today, for the play session on Thursday 2/17! Warm-up action for this session was becoming Thane of the Reach, and getting Vlindrel Hall and Argis the Bulwark as housecarl.
Main action, though? Raiding Mercer Frey’s house and proceeding through the Thieves Guild plot to become a Nightingale. 😀

In Which Delga Lays Her Steward to Rest
This was an extremely low-key session, in which I focused on a circuit through all of Delga’s houses. I gathered loot for selling, did a bunch of crafting, got level 62’s round of training, and in general prepared to head over to Solstheim and tackle the Dragonborn plot.
And, notably, I spent some time making a proper resting place for poor deceased Ria, Companion and my steward at Heljarchen Hall.

In Which Delga Does General Adventuring
This is another double session post, covering play on Sunday 1/2 and Monday 1/3, since the session on Sunday wasn’t really long enough to warrant a post by itself.
And basically, this was me doing some general adventuring, working my way westward across the map to get back to Markarth.

In Which Delga Becomes Thane of the Reach
And, finally, the conclusion to the efforts to become Jarl Igmund’s thane! Thaneship of the Reach achieved, along with the retrieval of a statuette, the killing of a spider, the exploration of a ruin, and the summoning of Durnehviir out of the Soul Cairn.

In Which the Dragonborn Foils a Conspiracy in Markarth
I decided to go ahead and do the Forsworn Conspiracy plot, as well as its immediate followup, No One Escapes Cidhna Mine.
Plus, I wanted to give Markarth a bit of a fighting chance and see whether it presented me any reasons to like it. Spoiler alert: mostly, not so much.
