As the moon was rising during our last night in Neyto, I felt a need to go outside, to compare the current state to the illusion the Grandmother had created. Outside, I felt a strange sense of déjà -vu, the scene so similar but so different from the illusion. There was no full moon yet - t...

Taking off my cloak, I stepped forward, into the open space Adra had used to train. There were multiple ways to play this. I could try to simply use my physical abilities and martial skills but I'd lose. Badly. I'd have to add magic to the mix and I had two options for that, going a similar...

After the ritual was done, the Grandmother led us into a sitting room and served us tea. Ylva had returned to her Hallow, Lenore was for once the one more interested in the outside world, and stayed on my shoulder.
"Well, that was interesting, wasn't it. The two of you are truly compa...

After a good night's slumber, the day of Sigmir's healing dawned. We had breakfast with Kallista and Adra, who, for some reason, would not meet my eyes, before heading over to the Grandmother's house.
We knocked and got shown in, once more heading into a new part of the house. The roo...

By the time I had left the Grandmother's strange house, it was already dark, not that I'd really notice. My mind was going hundreds of miles an hour, thinking about the implications of all the new information I had gained. Some made a lot of sense, some were just plain and simply weird. I c...

Hours passed as I sat on the log opposite of the Grandmother, asking questions, often getting useful answers - but far too often for my taste getting the answer 'find out for yourself'. Nonetheless, I learned a lot about magic, not about my specific magic skills but general information givi...

After my declaration, the Grandmother looked me over once more, nodding to herself as if lost in thought but obviously pleased.
"Follow me, child.", the Grandmother said to me, before turning to Sigmir, "You can join Kallista and the child you brought with you. I don't think you would...
2018-10-19 15:33:43 +0000 UTC View Post"... why would I do that?..." The Grandmother's words echoed back and forth in my mind. My first impulse, born out of anger, was quickly squashed by the memory of the Schandmaul and the casual threat of a soultrap the last time I had been here. I forced my gritted teeth to relax so I could ask in an...

I didn't want to hurry her, so I simply started the familiar movements of cooking, giving her time to gather herself and talk on her own terms. We worked next to eac...

A cold wind was blowing through the forest, as we repositioned, hidden by concealment-spells and waiting for Lenore to give more information on our enemies’ reaction. As the mist was cleared away by the wind, I heard Lenore make a surprised noise, and was told that the clearing was empty....

While we waited for Lenore to return from her scouting flight towards Yari, I wanted to hear more about this group that was hunting for Sigmir, so I asked Adra to describe them.
"As I said, there were four of them. One was a dwarf, that I am sure of. He was wearing a chai...
2018-10-10 15:48:12 +0000 UTC View PostNow that we were on our mounts and they took over navigation, I was finally able to check the notifications I had ignored all evening.
"She looks just like Kallista..." remarked Lenore in my head. I was blinking in shock at the unexpected being in the cage before me. The locking mechanism was quite simple; without the enchantment on the cage, the dryad might have escaped on her own. Opening the door did stop the enchantmen...

Stealthily, we made our way towards the hedge surrounding Tegi, looking for a good hideout for Sigmir. We managed to find a dense copse of trees for her to stay in.
After placing another concealment-spell on her, Ylva and I moved out, with Lenore staying within her Hallow. We made our...

There was a creepy tension in the air, as if there were monsters in the dark while we moved closer to Tegi. Normally, I felt at home in the dark, as if a comforting blanket covered me, hiding me from the world. The darkness here was different - it felt oppressive, choking me. The snow, glit...

After our encounter with Samodiva, Sigmir and I slowly made our way west. We might be able to cross the distance in a single day but we took two days, asking our mounts to take their time so we could relax and recuperate from the exhausting excursion on Mount Yugid.
The further west w...

Samodiva. The way she said it, it was more than a name, it sounded like a title. Her posture, her bearing, it radiated royalty and grace, the grace of a deadly predator. I was captivated by her looks and voice, standing spellbound before her.
Ripping myself from my trance, I spoke. â€...

Arriving at the gate of Yari, we got scrutinized by a bored looking guard. It was a tall fellow, maybe 6'6, broad as a barn-door and muscular-looking. His face was clearly ursine with a slim snout on a broad face, in addition to the cute-looking round ears on top of his head. He was clad in...

Still, it was no problem according to Elding, whom I trusted on the subject. She nuzzled my ne...

Later that morning, Sigmir and I went out to turn in the quests for Thekk and Cisar. The tale Kallista had told us was still weighing on our minds, causing us to hold closely onto each other.
Thekk was once more in his smithy, hammering away at some piece of metal. We waited until he ...

After Sigmir had fallen asleep, I logged out to take care of real-world business. I had done so just before the fight with the last boss and now there was a pressing need once more. Getting up was interesting; the headache that I had in-game was still kind of there, more muted as if I was f...

Under the light of the stars and the incredible fireworks in the sky, we made our way back to the spot we had used three nights back to rest. As we reached it, we saw that it was still as we left it, no new snow or anything, there was even some firewood left.

After our close encounter of the third kind, Sigmir and I turned back walking back to the stairs and starting down the other direction. The first room on this side worked just like the last one we had cleared on the other side and with the next, we got lucky.
The Draugr was closer to...
As we retreated back to the stairs, after our first serious battle on the third floor, I got curious and asked the still stumbling Sigmir what had just happened.
