The annual Christmas ogre hunt in Pale Pass has gone well. And as always, when thinking it is all said and done; BAM! Another ogre is found behind some rocks. In total after counting the teeth trophies collected, 17 ogres have been disposed of, including the four in Serpent's Trail.

I could have sworn we found 18 last year but then again, we are not done in Pale Pass. We will continue to enjoy this secluded area during Christmas and during these days more ogres might come to search for their now lost brothers..

Maybe number 18 is Shrek, and he is hiding out. :D

He'd be wise to hide, when that vicious Ogre-slaughtering Dunmer is in town. ;)

Final day in Pale Pass. The hunt is officially over and Lothran will begin his journey back to Bruma tomorrow. It's nice to be in the pass over the holiday but now we both want to come back to the usual evenings at Olav's and watch poor Ongar get mauled by guards for stealing food right in front of everyone :D

Lothran is now back in Bruma and has enjoyed an evening at Olav's. And although Ongar did take food he wasn't supposed to, no guard came to maul him.


I guess you can't have it all, eh..? :P

A couple of things worthy of mentioning:


1. While clearing out Plundered Mine, in the final room of the cave, Lothran as per usual let his Spriggan and her bear do most of the fighting. But when the spell timed out and there were still goblins left, no one came to Lothran to fight. So he went after them and saw that they was actually fighting each other! I don't think there were another tribe involved; there must have been a case of friendly fire in the narrow corridor leading up to the room. Quite fun anyway.

2. Capstone Cave had another one of those friendly Khajiit bandits and while encountering one of them isn't as rare as the infighting, it's still worth mentioning as Lothran both sweet-talked her as well as bribed her up to 100 :P

Lothran's guard shift has started. He donned his official armor in the morning and after feeding Jorundr, he took to the streets. Nothing special to report and as evening fell he manned his post at the North gate, awaiting the New Year.

Guard shift is over and Lothran is now resting at Jerall View. I think next adventure will be to travel to Azura's shrine.

Now Lothran is at the shrine to Azura. No Buffy there, sadly, but a night in the tent makes wonders to an elf and as morning raises over Cyrodiil, he will soon make his way back home to Bruma. Previous evening was spent inside Silver Tooth with the usual shenanigans :)

Current project: Getting the Ruined Akaviri shield down to 100% instead of 125%

This task is a bit complicated. Since Lothran is a Master in Block, no damage is taken to the shield so he can't just walk up to any foe and let them hit him to bring it down. No, this requires a bit of strategy.

While fighting a bandit when out trekking, Lothran found a Daedric warhammer that does damage to Armor. This is great, but since he can't use it on himself he will have to find someone that can. So firstly he will have to find a bandit who can use weapons.
But in order to make them pick it up he will either have to wait until the bandit's weapon is down to zero, which will take quite awhile, or wait until the knockback effect happens that in turn could disarm them. Both these options takes time and a bit of luck, and since we both are a bit impatient we will have to use an item that Lothran has back home to quicken things up; a staff that damages weapons. Now we only needed to find a bandit.

Capstone Cave has bandits, but since that place was recently cleared, a better option would be the camp to the east of Dragonclaw Rock. There was one bandit there. Lothran initiated the battle with the Damage Weapon staff and when the bandit's Elven mace was done with, Lothran dropped the warhammer and she picked it up and began whacking. After a short while it was apparent that the enchantment had worn off and so the one starting the fight, ended it.

And it worked fine; the shield was down to 107%. Not quite there, but a recharge and another "volunteer" and quest accomplished!

Thanks! We've been looking for a way to downgrade the shield ever since we did it to the Akaviri katana which of course was an easy thing to do.

Shouldn't have repaired them to 125% but hey, learning by mistaking, eh? ;)

Project Akaviri shield 125% to 100% update


The second part of this needed a bit more work. Lothran checked out Capstone Cave after a good night's sleep and sure, there were a few of them inside again. First bandit got lured out with a blast from the Staff of Ruin but once outside, even with both his dagger and bow completely destroyed, he wouldn't pick up the Daedric weapon with the Disintegrate Armor enchantment. He just wouldn't and instead opted for his fists. And by now the Staff of Ruin was depleted so Lothran had to go back to Bruma to recharge it before having another go.

Second attempt involved the Dunmer doing his usual routine; running through the cave with full light on, attract all the bandits and summon his Spriggan. After running up to where he had his back to a wall, one of the bandits attacked him so Lothran focused on him. And this attempt was successful. The bandit got his weapon ruined whereupon he picked up the warhammer Lothran had dropped. And when the fight was all over, the Akaviri shield was down to 71% - yay!

So upon coming back to Bruma, all that was needed was having it repaired up to 100% by the Fighters Guild porter and the quest was done!

Boy, what a complex way to have to do it. I'd probably have just opened the creation tool and reset it in there.

Yeah, I have a way of over-complicating things... :D

Thanks! It was a fun little quest :)

For a long time I have been half-battling with how to get the shield down to 100% again. I knew of course about the Armor Disintegration enchantments but haven't really thought about it enough to actually set it all up. It was a total fluke that Lothran found this enchanted weapon on this bandit at this point in time but it was the catalyst needed to bring it all back up into my conscious mind and get it all in motion. It was not hard, but sometimes you need something to give you a slight push in the right direction ;)

Would it have been easier to just get a new shield with a 100% enchantment?
