This desu.

Middas, 3rd of Hearfire

Yarti and I made our way to Winterhold from Amol, it was early in the morning but we were well rested from the previous night.

We made our way to the The Frozen Hearth Inn, we were going to check the Notice Board for any local jobs we could do.

One caught our interested "Escort(s) needed for Snow Elf Ruin exploration." Yarti and I have delt with falmer before, but we've never seen an actual Snow Elf Ruin. We were interested.

We checked the Inn for the person who left the job offer. The note said to look for a pale elf.
I was the one to notice her, well how could I not? She had her, er, marshmallows hanging out for all to see. She didn't seem to care, maybe she liked the attention. She was also really pale, would have thought she was a snow elf but they're all falmer now, right?

We introduced ourselves, saying we were interested in the job. Yarti didn't seem to happy with our client, I could hear her let out low grumbles under her breath. After a quick exchange of words it was agreed we would escort the elf to and through the ruins and she would cover up her chest. She must have been desperate for bodyguards. Yarti was more than happy to hear she would cover up, she's already caught my eyes wandering once.

Yeah sure, shoot me a message via the site with all the info and a pic for it.

:3

(Other than Undeath) What's the best mod for a Mannimarco fanboy?

Yarti was happy, she pointed towards the road telling our new employer, Woe, that we would be making a quick stop at Amol.

Amol was the closest town to Winterhold that had a smithy, the trip wasn't that long. About an hour, the snow was falling hard now. Woe didn't seem to mind the cold, despite her. Well, lack of armor.

N-no vampires here, haha.

Corpse preparation.

here is my waifu

We made it to Amol in less than an hour, nothing was on the road to bother us. Probably due to the heavy fall of snow. Yarti didn't even stop to look at anything, she took lead and marched straight to the blacksmith.

She told the smith she needed a set of armor made as soon as possible. She pointed to Woe, telling the smith it was for her. Woe made a snide remark and Yarti responded, at this point I tuned the bickering out.

Literally perfect.

haha ;)

The smith was good, he had spare parts of armor laying about. Small projects he never got properly paid for, or were abandoned. About an hour passed before he had something ready. Yarti happily presented it to Woe, who left to the smiths home to change. When she came back she seemed, annoyed. Well, more than usual. Yarti sounded esctatic about her less revealing armor.

I friendship these two.

Much excite!

I was reading a book when I heard Yarti call my name.

Thinking we were done here I headed out, only to feel a tug on my arm.

Apparently they didn't pay the blacksmith yet.

I asked the girls if they paid for the armor, Yarti said she was low on septims. Woe told me she left her coinpurse in her other armor.

With a sigh I paid the smith, the charge was more than I had expected. He claimed it was due to being rushed to make proper armor in such a short time. Atleast he was kind enough to wave goodbye as we left Amol.

It took us no time to reach the Falmer ruins, Kir-Galathur was it's name. Atleast I think it was. Yarti and I were taken back by the beauty of it all, Woe seemed excited. She rush past us and down to the ruins. The snow stopped falling as the sky cleared up above us.

>dunmeri women are THIS insecure

Is it safe to merge town mod plugins? Like Arthmoor's darkwater and ivarstead for instance.

Woe was feeling the walls of the ruins, she seemed to be someplace else. Lost in her thoughts. We decided to leave her be for the moment, we saw a tent and campfire.

We checked out the tent, it was empty and the embers of the campfire have long died out. I checked the sack that was left behind. I found a jorunal inside, belonging to a man named "Nulla". I called out to Woe about the book.

Can you blame them? They're the second ugliest race, just ahead of orcs.
Plus any of that exoticness from being dunmer goes out the window when you're standing next to a member of a practically dead and forgotten race.

I'd leave Yarti in a second for a chance to poke that marshmallow.

Woe didn't seem to be that interested in the journal, but I assured her it was talking about the ruins. She stood back, and silently read the journal.

Her eyes lit up as she reached the last page. She tossed the book back into the tent and told us we would be heading inside. A very rare weapon was inside, and she wanted it.

hey! that's not the same book she's reading.

We entered the ruins, the air was damp and had the faint hint of fresh blood. I took lead as I pulled out a lantern from Yartis backpack.

We decended the stairs into a large room, it was empty except one shrine. Woe approched the shrine and cupped her hands together. I assumed she was praying, or maybe just admiring the statue.

We stood silent for a few moments before Yarti tapped her shoulder, telling her we should keep moving.

It just werks

I knew the air had that smell of fresh blood. We found an altmer in some ice armor, laying in a pool of blood. A dead falmer near him, and a broken trip wire. Couldn't tell if the Falmer or the trap killed him.

Woe dropped to her knees, and knelt beside the falmer. She grabbed a skull hanging from the falmers belt and rested her forehead against it.

We decided to leave her alone, she seemed upset and lost in thought. I asked Yarti to hold the lantern for a second as I inspected the dead body. I couldn't see much, but I thought I saw another journal. I asked Yarti to give me the lantern again. I placed it on the ground next to the body as Yarti went to comfort Woe.

how long is this? will there be fighting?

I was right, I found another journal. I rested myself against the wall as I began to read it. It had almost no information on the ruin. The journal must have been new, perhaps he was starting a new one for his trip inside the ruin.

I heard the shuffling sound of metal and then Woe saying we need to keep moving. Yarti called out to me as I put the journal next to the body of Nulla.

Too long.
Yes.

For the sake of my sanity and the quality of the thread i'm doing a short intermission.

Please resume normal shitposting and i'll post the other half of the story in about an hour.

I apologize for the spam.

I could have gone a bit longer before the intermission, but I will go try to pee as best I can.

>snake cucks everyone and the thread dies

That's a fine beard.

An hour's kinda long, I think

It's another 12 posts long. Just want a small cooldown period for the threads sake.

Just playing it safe since I seem to have a bad history with long storytimes.

Can't see shit captain

Let me guess. You got banned?
Fucking janitors man.

I left the lantern behind, to mark the exit of the ruins incase we get lost. I was able to spare the lantern, I always bring some torches with me.

As we decended the dark cave we heard the sound of clicking and shuffling. I reached behind me and grabbed a torch, lighting it to fill the dark halls of the cave.

Chaurus, I hate those things. They were small, young. I grabed the hilt of Hilde and rushed them. As I rushed them I saw bright blue spears of ice fly past me. I didn't expect Woe to be talented in frost magic.

It took us seconds to make short work of the Chaurus, nasty things didnt put up much of a fight.

Fuck it, threads dead anyway.

...

As expected a falmer rushed us. It was watching over the Chaurus and wasnt happy with us.

I've delt with falmer more times than I can count. It didn't put up much of a fight, it backed off quickly after I hit it with my torch. Setting it ablaze, during its confusion I delt the killing blow.

awww yeah we're back

Woe ran past me and straight to the corpse of the freshly dead falmer. She dropped to her knees in silence staring at it. Then I heard it, small wimpers as she covered her face. It made sense to me now, she was a Snow Elf, or maybe half snow elf. It would explain her pale skin and resistance to the cold. I thought the Snow Elves were all dead or falmer, but I guess a few of them are around. Must be a common sight in the recent years, I mean, she was just standing around a Inn in Winterhold without rasing an eyebrow.

Yarti was able to calm her down and we made our way deeper into the ruins.

It was quiet for abit, my torch lit the tight corridors of the cave. We eventually ran into another falmer, this one put up a fight. Yarti was blasting it with shock magic as I tried to get past its shield, but it was a fierce fighter.

But that's when it happened, the familiar blue glow of a ice spear shot past us and into the falmer. It staggered back and I took my chance, striking the creature through its chest. It fell to the ground as the electricity from Yartis spells filled the corridor with light.

I saw a dim light at the end of the caves corridor, it was illuminating the white walls of the ruins. We found ourselves out of the cave system and back into the Snow Elf ruins. The mist was thich, but I saw something moving in the distance, and then the glow of magic.

It was a well armored falmer, must have been the leader of the ruins. Woe provided more magic support as I took the falmer head on. I heard the fast footsteps of Yarti rushing to my side.

Are you guys excited to finally be able to adventure with 2B? I know I am.

With both me, Yarti and Woe attacking at the falmer from different directions it was soon overpowered and killed. The room fell silent as we all turned to the gate infront of us. I could see a giant statue behind the doors, and some kind of shrine. Woe tried to open the doors, but they were locked tight. I asked her to move aside as I tried to lockpick it, guess I hit the pins just right as the door slowly opened.

The moment the door opened the room filled with a beam of light from up above. Seemed that opening the door triggered the roof to open and let light in.

No.

Woe approched the shrine, or what I thought was a shrine. From what I saw, it was a sword floating above a shrine. This must have been the weapon she was looking for. Yarti was still in the doorway, she must have been in awe at the giant golden like statue before us. Or maybe she was just happy for Woe.

I was on edge, once the light filled the room I heard the grunts and heavy breathing of something in the room. The fog was thick and it was hard to see, but I felt like something was in the fog.

The moment Woe shethed the sword on her hip I heard it. The heavy footsteps of something big. That's when it showed itself, it was big and blue. It looked like a fish like troll, but I knew what it was. It was a Gehenoth, a fearsome creature that terrorized the Pale during the 3rd era. I thought they were all dead, but I had heard rumors of them still alive and active in the north.

My mind started racing, what was a Gehenoth doing here? I heard stories of adventurers running into giant blue fish trolls in dwemer and falmer ruins. But here? Did the falmer capture it, did they tame it? Did it stumble its way in here and thats why the gate was locked?

Whatever the case, it was kill or be killed.

Yarti and I rushed the beast as Woe prepared her magic from behind. It's blue hide was thick and rough, our swords didn't seem to even bother it. I told Yarti to get back as I waved my torch around. The flame got it's attention, and I soon had it follow me as Yarti and Woe used magic on it.

Where is this in Skyrim?

The magic seemed to be wearing it down, but it soon lost interest in me and turned its attention to Woe. The beast towered over her as it reached down to grab her. Yarti was still hitting it with shock magic, but it wasnt enough. I jumped onto the platform the shrine was on and leaped into the air. I didn't know if this was gonna work, but I needed to grab its attention before it hurt Woe.

It was only seconds but it felt like hours, as I leaped into the air and brought my sword down on the back of its neck. It let out a bellowing roar as it fell to the ground dead.

I grabed my torch from the ground and told Woe and Yarti we're leaving, before anymore show up.

Falmeroon mod. The ruins is near the Cyrodillic border, I just said it was near Winterhold for story purposes.

The trip back to the etrance was silent, nobody said a thing. Though Woe seemed happy she got her weapon.

It was still daylight as we left the ruins, the fresh cold air was welcoming. Woe stopped us at the shrine outside to thank us for our help.

Woe then reached behind her and presented us with a rather hefty bag of septims. She said it was for both the job and new armor. I asked her about "leaving her coinpurse in her other armor." She just winked and laughed.

We asked Woe if she wanted us to escort her back to Winterhold, but she shook her head, she told use she was gonna hang around the ruins a little while longer.

Yarti grabbed my hand as we exhanged goodbyes and left. Ready to find the nearest Inn to rest.
The End.

So sorry for the spam.

>spam
Yeah, nah. Thanks dude, it was good.

Thanks for the story time

How much did she pay?

Loved it, thankyou!

One of these days, I'd like to see you do something nice without apologizing for it. Good story, bud.

Thanks

Nicely did!! Very awesome, I enjoyed reading. Great work with the screenshots as well, and you definitely made up for covering up the marshmallows, despite the weight of that sin.

How do I into depth of field?

A wee bit late, but
My goodness that was neat. Really liked how crisp you got the shots, and the variety.
Nicely done, Snake.

Who was in the right here?

which ENB and skin would you guys say is the best?

the Alik'r

The Alik'r, if they really were Thalmor they would come dressed as Thalmor, or that women would just disappear in the middle of the night and never be heard of again

enter "fov [number]" in console

TKRE and whatever skin you prefer that isn't Bellas's

Saads

>No documentation
>Literally none. Not even a wanted poster or a sign from Hammerfel
>Get thrown in jail in Whiterun for fucking around
>Chilling with Banditos
>Not even the bandits like them
>Saadia's urn is in Whiterun
>"She's a liar. Just trust us, goyim."
Nah

not our fault you're a retard who falls for tits and doesn't pay attention to the inconsistent story

dof isn't fov

>hammerfell is opposed to the thalmor and the dominion
>she says she had to run away from hammerfell for speaking out AGAINST the dominion
>she runs to the place most crawling with thalmor after the Isles themselves
Hmmmm, really gets the noggin burnin.

Protip for life: The thing with the breasts is not always correct.

>>she runs to the place most crawling with thalmor after the Isles themselves
thats not Cyrodiil, and she ran to whiterun, a neutral hold with a statue of talos smack dab in the middle of the square with fucking heimskr screaming his lungs out about the glory of talos. No thalmor are inside the city, which she makes sure to never leave

...

I'd like to see more of this one!

What did he mean by this

woops

CURVACEOUS
BLADES

there's fuckall Thalmor in Cyrodiil because nobody in Cyrodiil is retarded enough to loudly proclaim they're going to worship Talos in defiance of the Concordat
hell, even most of Skyrim understood that point until Ulfric got his panties in a twist, Alvor mentions everyone having their little shrines to Talos in the aftermath of the war and not giving a shit about the Concordat

Did you crop out your HUD? Good job.
