Re...post 112 Yeah thanks Trace...chuckles I guess that thing was a fabled "Ore Guardian" I would never mod those in....its like inventing things to kill you on purpose...the game does that to us well enough without adding extra monsters. Adella has "died" fourteen times this past week......partly bad luck.....partly me being rash.....but mostly just typical bloody perverse Skyrim.... Just as well We didn't enter this round eh! Kinda emarrassing to report death within like four hours. Although....in competition....we might have healed up....and we might not be starting with skills set to zero. Deep breaths......back in the saddle....again! Maybe I will let Adella report back from her pov.... Edited by Rick, Feb 11 2017, 08:19 PM.

Huh...they don't spawn every time you mine... just have to be ready for them. Having a budy to watch yer bsck...is essential! But they are strong. ..better the ore, the harder they are to kill. |

They don't spawn every time you mine, but... there's usually at least one in every mine! If you're in Halted Stream, for instance, the chance of running into one is nearly 100%. Since I rarely use companions and have no buddy to watch my back, I've taken to choosing a route of escape or readying a "become ethereal" shout before I begin mining. |

Problem is I don't use shouts. .. so for me the budy works. One of these days I will do the "Dragonborn " with no magic only shouts and maybe sword and board. ...archery. |

Venetus sat in the balcony chair, eyes closed, ears listening to the conversations in the Bannered Mare common room below. It was good to hear the simple daily concerns of the townsfolk. Their easy worries brought perspective to the events that had passed since his escape from Helgen. And yet, he had an unsettled feeling, nagging at the back of his mind. It was time he dealt with that and he focused his attention inward to determine its source. It wasn't long before he understood. His restlessness stemmed from having no place in this land that was his own. All he had in High Rock was gone and he longed for the solace of a home he could call his own. Not that the Bannered Mare was a bad place to lay one's head for a night, but he was approaching a full fortnight of sleeping in Inns across the Major holds. His belongings stuffed into a chest behind Ysolda's home. That was a fortunate find on his first day in Whiterun and neither Ysolda or the other folks ever bothered with his stash. But the chest was cumbersome; just sorthing through it all to find the one thing he wanted was becoming a task itself. Perhaps his restlessness stemmed from the recent criss crossing of Skyrim in search of the Aetherium Forge. Meeting Katria was a rather unique experience. She wasn't the first ghost he'd encountered, but she was the first ghost to not try and kill him. Together they'd chased down pieces of Aetherium which when placed together turned out not only to be the key to the Aetherium Forge, but also the material by which he'd made the Aetherium Crown resting upon his head. He wanted to display the bow Zephyr in her honor, but had no place to do it. On the morrow he'd be performing a task for the Jarl's court wizard, Farengar. Apparently he'd received word from some source, that he chose not to reveal, that a stone tablet from a time when dragons were still alive resided in a draugr ruin, the very ruin that Ralof had pointed out to him during their escape from Helgen, Bleak Falls Barrow. Afterward he hoped to have a chance to talk to the Steward about the house Breezehome. Several guards had mentioned it was for sale. Spoiler: click to toggle Note: forgot to change the AR rating when I copy/pasted from previous post. It is fixed now. Edited by Brambleberry, Feb 12 2017, 09:53 AM.

who ever came up with this beef up your skills even before you start (no offence to Bram) is not fair ........... ether we all play the same game or have two different category you cant have one player doing everything by the book and give a big advantage to other players that chose to build first & a extra 20 hours.............. 500 pots dose not give me any advantage and is hoping to win this round using the Legendary multiplier, honestly ..... DiD games are fun but the rules are CRAP ............lets get real guys and make some fun DiD games call this one a sour sport ....but has lost 2 first place positions to technicality's .......... the world can turn upside down but this round is mine or After Darks Edited by Serethil, Feb 12 2017, 11:17 AM.

Uhmmm... it's been pretty well determined that the 20 hour headstart is more of an impediment than an advantage... Believe me, I tried it. |

I would disagree with you Sir Neil .........this is Sah your talking too this round is based on money and nothing else .......you need the cash to become a thane (8000 gold each time) the Cival war Quest line is easy even on legendary ..............but to save up the cash to buy all the property takes a lot of work so with a 20 hour advantage and I am asking Bram to come clean .............HONESTLY how much cash do you have even before you start playing ? this one should not have lisend to Rick and played fair :ugh: has spent 29000 gold so far to buy 4 huses, saving up another 20000 for my house in solitude is a daunting task & thats with out counting the other 25000 gold to get all the rest Edited by Serethil, Feb 12 2017, 11:17 AM.

Uh-huh, but in order for that money to do you any good, you have to survive, yes? So, you use whatever to generate that cash, go up in levels, and... your enemies go up in combat skills while you do not. That is what makes it a disadvantage. Besides, do you not have the opportunity to use the same 20 hour start as everybody else if you think its an advantage? Eh, wait, did you just say you need somebody to convince you NOT to cheat? How the hell does that work out, anyway? Edited by neildarkstar, Feb 12 2017, 04:24 AM.

Take note, I'm not to talk to Sah any more, and I have no problem with that... I would however like to point out that Sah is the one who said Rick had to convince her to play fair... She said that, not me. Now to me, there is fair play and there is cheating. If it isn't fair it must be a cheat, eh? That's all that I was pointing out, the rest is on her. |

Sah doesn't cheat, she plays dirty. There's a difference. But I'm staying out of this one. |

Well, no matter how it works out dirty or a cheat, all I did was ask about what she said... I didn't say she was a cheat. |

I will say this......I have seen Sah's stats screen shots......they are consistent with the rigorous methodical play she employs, but at no point do they ever look un believable. Sah plays hard and fast....but I sincerely state I do not believe she has ever cheated. Nor have I ever had to convince Sah not to cheat. I think you all have a misunderstanding of wording here. I will say....although I have not been in the last few competitions.....some of the stats I see reported in by some people have stretched my credulity. I KNOW how long it takes to raise those slow rising skills and I keep seeing stats showing folk achieving meteoric rises is fighting skills and smithing....training is allowed, yes ...but how do you make the coin to pay for it that fast? (And you only get five points in one skill per level). I am starting to believe that a lot of undeclared skill spamming is going on (sneaking next to sleeping guards for an hour, shooting trolls constantly from a safe vantage, blocking against mudcrabs for an hour, that kind of thing....which is illegal in competition)......you can't explain super high skills in very short time any other way! But as for Sah....her stats screens in time past and her reported stats in competition are entirely believable......Sah at least, does not cheat. Edited by Rick, Feb 12 2017, 08:07 AM.
