In Which Ysani Returns the Skeleton Key
This is a double session post, covering play done on both Sunday 2/20 and Monday 2/21. I was able to play on Sunday night but only for about 30 minutes, due to having to work on some network stuff on my house LAN, and that wasn’t long enough for a post. So, covering both sessions in this one!
Main action of this post: Ysani reporting to the Twilight Sepulcher, to return the Skeleton Key to Nocturnal, and restore her favor to the Thieves Guild.

In Which Ysani Slays a Necromancer, Then Slays Mercer Frey
Warmup act for this session: running Yngvild. Main event: running Irkngthand, for the final confrontation with Mercer Frey!

In Which Ysani Quests Through the Reach
Did not yet advance the main Thieves Guild plot in this session, but did do some general thievery! Also, running a few side quests in the Reach, including getting the third aetherium shard for Lost to the Ages!

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 Ysani Seeks the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller and Becomes Thane of Falkreath
This was a nicely action-packed session, seeing the clearing of Treva’s Watch and the payment of the bounty for the bandit chief there, as well as venturing into Ustengrav in search of the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. Plus, I have now fully furnished Breezehome, and become thane in Falkreath.
And I didn’t actively plan to initiate the Thieves Guild plotline this session, but it kinda worked out that way!

In Which Ysani Acquires Dawnbreaker and Journeys into the Rift
Major notable thing in this session was getting Dawnbreaker! \0/ But also getting the Masque of Clavicus Vile, working on favor quests to get the thaneship in Falkreath, and heading into the Rift to take on the bandit bounty at Treva’s Watch.

In Which Ysani Fights Bandits, Spriggans, and a Dragon
This session was all about fairly minor side quests, the sorts of early-stage stuff in the game that lets you get your feet under you as you level up. Mostly, this meant setting the stage to become thane in Falkreath.
Got in a lot of bandit fighting, though, as well as multiple spriggans and a dragon. And practice with the whole strategy of throwing my best spells as soon as I see a combat situation coming, and getting the fuck out of the way so Lydia and my atronach can charge at whatever’s about to attack.

In Which Ysani Joins the College of Winterhold
Getting the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller is going to have to wait a bit! I have important magical training to get started on. ;D

In Which Delga Marries, Adopts Children, and Retakes Thirsk Mead Hall
This session turned out to be a bit more eventful than planned–in no small part because I finally went ahead and got married, and adopted two children! All because Neloth decided to order me to go look at a Briarheart for him, which in turned required leaving Solstheim again for a trip back to the mainland.
Who I married: Aela the Huntress! Who I adopted: Sofie and Lucia. Where I settled them: Lakeview Manor.
Deets behind the fold!

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.
