230 Hours 52 Minutes, 95098 Gold, Level 47, 138 Locations Discovered, 27 Bunnies!
Got back to Winterhold via Whiterun via Windhelm buying and selling as usual along the way. I always make sure that I have a few plentiful ingredients on me so when I go in and buy up all the ingredients and useful potions that the vendors have I make up a few expensive potions and make sure I take as much of their money as I can, this way my money is always guaranteed to be on the up, similarly with blacksmiths I buy a lot of their gear and get as much of their gold back as I can, I have been doing this for ages and that’s why there is always a steady increase in my gold, better to have as much as you can I reckon.
With the Atronach made, I spend some time around College buying and selling then I decide to head out although I don’t really know where I am going just yet. I am on my way to Whiterun passing Fort Kastav which I have been actively avoiding due to the strength of the mages outside there but I suppose I am feeling brave so I take my horse away on past and leave it in a safe place before making my way back up to have a pop. The Skeletons are easy but the mages are tough I do a lot of running about and Atronach casting but one of the three keeps healing herself so I have to use arrows to finish it off and then in a moment of madness I decide to take a peek inside. Skeleton in the first room, I have been really disappointed with the Skeletons in Skyrim to be honest they’re not much of a challenge. I go on into the prison area and find an Arch Necromancer in there who gives me a real scare I try laying runes and casting Atronach but she’s deadly, both with attacks and in restoration. I end up hiding in one of the cells and peeking out when I can to send some conjured buddies up but in the end I wind up heading back up the steps and get her to follow, I lay runes then when she emerges at the top of the steps I hit her with a poisoned arrow with paralysis on it and finish it off with another, job done and I decide to leave Fort Kastav for now.
I stop once again at the Nightgate Inn and ask about jobs (forgetting I did this before) and I am directed to kill a Giant for a bounty, the giant at Blizzards Rest so I do it and head to Dawnstar to collect the bounty. I now have two notifications on my Miscellaneous quest list to go and see Skald (the Jarl of Dawnstar) and even though he has paid me two bounties they don’t shift. I buy up everything I need and sell the stuff I had gathered earlier. On up the trail heading out of Dawnstar I chance upon some Thalmor escorting a prisoner and I decide to have a little fun. They’re heading towards Dawnstar so after passing them I double back and get well ahead of them and lay a Fire Rune in their path, then I go off the trail into the snow to watch the explosion. Just as it’s happening I realise I am right beside the giants camp Red Road Pass so when the Thalmor come after me I lead them in that direction and the Giant finishes them off and I do the Giant with an ebony arrow, lots and lots of loot. God I think this may well be the best game I have ever played, I said that about Oblivion as well though!
So I am off again to Whiterun to plan my next excursion.
