Yah.... but at least it's not Snow Roses.... or manticore noses. [You know.... it pisses me off NO END that Firefox has no clue about common garden-variety mythological story words like manticore....] |

Heh. Well.... this IS Neloth after all - you know, the original arrogant, asinine assmage.... He probably plans to keep most of it himself - and demand payment for his services as well! |

107 - Logistics.... What do you want to bet that Neloth is going to keep more than half the list for himself? What? No odds? Yeah. Pretty sure that’s a given. So - hmmm. How about I get a quarter of it, and then see what happens? So - after sending Var and Mel home - I traveled around to every ‘pothecary and blacksmith in Skyrim. A large number of septims later, I had about half that quarter. And then I set to gathering in earnest. It took me perhaps another two moons to get the full quarter of each listed item. And - truthfully, I’d had fun with it. I saw places I’d probably never have seen otherwise, and added some truly quality artifacts to Morthal’s treasury. And - more important in its own way - I’d reaffirmed that I was equal to the task of dealing with the denizens of ruin and fort. After the dreck of the last year.... well, I think I can be excused for feeling as if snakebit.... I checked in with family at least once a fortnight. I couldn’t - countenance - worrying them, not any more.... And with a full twenty-five percent of the list in my possession, I headed back to Solstheim. Again, I did NOT want to deal with Neloth. But - well - needs must as the devil drives.... “That’s not all of it, girl!” “Oh, I’m aware. But I’m also quite sure that one of your “fees” for this whole thing is likely three-quarters of the total. So, what’s the bargain?” He spent some time grumbling under his breath, but then, surprising me, he laughed. “It’s not often someone not Mer gets the better of me, girl. I give you full points - even if I wish you to the hells after all!” He spent some time in thought, then said “Well, so. A bargain, you said. Bring me this much again, and I will make the lights for your shrines. But....” He went off into deep thought as I could see for myself. “Eh. Well. No. Yes. FINE!” What??? “I am.... happy to have just the same again. Or so I am told. So. Do that, and I will make the lights for the shrines. “Might... I just.... ask.... Why are you building shrines for daedric princes? After all.... you are one of those.... unwashed and backward.... nords....” By this time I was all but hysterical with laughter for some reason. But I tried to sober myself and give him a decent explanation. “Both these princes have saved my life - and the lives of those I love: family, friends, people I recognize but don’t know by name. That means I owe them all those lives - and if the only thing I can provide as recompense is a shrine, well.... “I will build it. Do NOT play me false, Neloth. If you think to do so.... be aware you will not only face me.... you will face Azura, Meridia..... and Talos Stormcrown.” I stared him straight in the eyes. And he dropped his before mine. |

That wizard is worse than Belethor, LOL. At least he had the grace to admit (sort of) that he was ripping Tier off! Way to go Tier! :D And Sister! |

Thanks Sis! I purely HATE Neloth.... but Tier.... well - she has his number.... [Actually.... Neloth is NOT as bad as Belethor - because there's none of the sexual undertone crap with Neloth.] Edited by Serethil, May 11 2017, 09:42 PM.

108 - More gathering, more running to odd corners of Skyrim Well, I always knew this province was huge - but I’ve been finding out just how large it really is while gathering the rest of the list for Neloth. Four moons this time, and I’m still missing some really expensive bits: the gems, including pearls. I almost flew into a rage in Solitude when some slimy Mer put a pearl into a glass of wine and DRANK it! I wanted to rip the gem out of her throat.... So, I decided to talk to Var and g’ma. I still needed 5 diamonds, 3 large pearls, 3 sapphires, and a topaz. “I hate to ask - but I also don’t want my entire life on hold much longer. I need to finish these two shrines so I have time to think about the one for Talos.” They grinned at each other; somehow, my grandmother and my betrothed seemed to have gotten very chummy - and very much in charity with each other. Interesting. I wasn’t bothered - two of the people I loved best in the world.... “That’s not nearly as much as we could give you. We let you do this without offering help, because you have the same sort of honor I do, Tier. You got it from me after all.” G’ma had a look of glowing pride as she spoke. “You’ve managed the ills of your life, as well as the blessings, in a way that no one could denigrate. And THAT is why you will be Morthal’s Jarl after me.” Var turned me gently into his embrace. “We have the rest for you, set aside. We talked it over, and figured those gems would be the problem. So, we can go talk to Neloth as soon as we can get back to Windhelm.” I shook my head, almost in tears. “No. We’re going to buy a ship. I’m done with Gjalund - sailors who can’t swim! I’ll buy a seaworthy ship, and find a good crew. And THEN we will go talk to Neloth. The longer I leave him stewing, the better, since he tried to gouge me over this!” They laughed, and I finally chuckled as well. “Let’s have some wine on it then!” |

Fun reading, both of those last two parts (which by the way just showed up a minute or so ago for me)... Really, what fun! :thumb: |

Thank you neil! Now that we're down to building instead of avoiding being killed, it's actually a lot of fun. It's really strange that the board's not.... working quite properly.... Hmmm. When you refresh the page, are you hard-refreshing? CTRL-F5.... Edited by Serethil, May 13 2017, 08:17 PM.

Bookmark and use this: http://s15.zetaboards.com/TES_DiD/search/?c=5 That's the "Active Topics" link. That shows every topic with a reply since the cookie shows your last access. |

That might be kind of a problem... I close my browser regularly, and when I do, it removes all cookies, even the LSO variety. |

Hmmm. Well, that would be why you're not seeing updates normally then. You can exception the cookie deletions.... which is what I do for this site and a couple of others. So the LSOs and every other cookie go away, but this site and a couple of pages on nexus update properly. |

I wonder why Twitter has a tracker on this site. |

Because twitter has a tracker on every free site of any kind out there. You should be able to block it. You should use google to see if any of your really definitive posts are showing up anywhere. I just did some checking. Google doesn't find any of my recent posts here (in this thread - I'm not after looking at everything I post....) |

Ah Sere, sister, you've come through again. :D Love it, and those two are stinkers, but they held out from her for the right reasons! |

Yep. And Tier knows it. She KNOWS you can't be given things before you know you need to ask. That's a hard lesson.... Thanks, love - and Happy Mother's Day! |
