Thanks Trace,

Well, here is the final proof of reaching the end of the MQ. It is somewhat shortened since the only bit anyone wants to really see is of course the killing of Alduin....so I have edited out much of the 'story' elements. Hopefully it still makes sense, but of course most people have reached the end (many times) and know it anyway....



Hope you liked it :)

Edit.....Wow....Adella's Trial has just topped 9000 views in Beth.net
Not many people post, but there's a lot of interest in her out there :)

After watching your videos, i would trade my sword for that little dagger any day, especially for the fight with Tsun. He's immune to UF, he moves so fast that i can't keep a safe distance and he has an insane reach with that big axe. My only chance was to use Berzerker Rage and even then he put me through a lot of pain before he allowed me to enter the Hall of Valor (i was saving that power for the final fight with Alduin).

Anyway, let's start at the beginning.

Last time i defeated Alduin at the Throat of the World, but he fled and now i have to "convince" one of his subordinates to tell me where i can find him.
Jarl Balgruuf wasn't very happy to hear what i have planned, but he agreed, only if Ulfric and Tullius stops the hostilities, at least until Alduin is defeated for good.
On my way to the Greybeards, i completed another simple mission for Aela.

The Greybeards agreed to hold the Peace Council and i'll be the one to inform Ulfric and Tullius that they are summoned at High Hrothgar, but before i do that, Aela is waiting for my return. This time she has something else in mind. She located one of the Totems of Hircine (finally). The problem is there's no way to tell her i'll do it alone or to wait me at the location. This means that i should complete that quest before i do anything else, but the location is located in the Reach, halfway between Markarth and Solitude, so i'll get there via Solitude and inform Tullius about the Peace Council at the same time. I can even go to Windhelm and deliver the message to Ulfric since there's no fight involved.

As i approach the location of the Totem, i see a dragon circling nearby. When i got close enough i found it was Nahagliiv, one of Alduin's subordinates. Unfortunately i didn't had any means of capturing him...

I returned with Aela at the Underforge and she gave me another small mission and she no longer fallows me, so it's time deal with two arrogant men.

The negotiations went well, at least from my point of view. I really don't understand why Ulfric was so upset with these terms. I gave Markarth to the Stormcloaks and Riften to the Empire.

If we take a closer look at these two cities, we see that this is the way it should be from the beginning.

Spoiler: click to toggle


With the impending attack out of the way, Jarl Balgruuf will let me trap a dragon at Dragonsreach and Esbern found a way to lure one there.

Just before she left, Delphine told me that i have to kill Paarthurnax or the Blades won't help me anymore. I went up and had a little chat with Paarthurnax about the old times when dragons ruled over men. I decided not to kill him.

I left Paarthurnax behind and headed southwest passing through Helgen, Bonechill Passage (remember that small mission for Aela) and Ancient's Ancent.

Back at Whiterun, all the preparations were set and it was time to trap a dragon.
Odahviing carries me to Skuldafn and this is where the first video ends.

The second video contains both Skuldafn and Sovngarde.
The outside area wasn't really though. There was plenty of space to dodge attacks and retreat when necessary.
The north and south towers were too small for my taste so i had to take the fight outside.
I resumed my pursuit and passed through Skuldafn Temple, reaching the summit, where i was greeted by two deathlord. A scourge joined the fight with frost magic. Another deathlord was waiting further away.
Nahkriin was guarding the portal. I took a wrong step just as i defeated him and fell down, so i had to go through the temple section again.
One of the deathlords made it back at top before i did and he was waiting for me.
There were two dragons guarding the portal, but hey didn't attacked me. Still, i knew they were there on Alduin's behalf, so i killed them regardless.
I used the portal to get to Sovngarde. A lost soul told me about the Hall of Valor. I even had the chance to fight Alduin in the mist, but he's immune to Dragonrend and doesn't want to fight me. I only took one swing at him. The damage is abysmal, but it did showed me his health bar, meaning he's not immune to damage.
A high vantage point allowed me to see where this Hall of Valor is. The bridge was guarded by Tsun. There's only one way you can enter the Hall of Valor: guns blazing and fight to the last. Umm... wait, that was from another game...
Back to Sovngarde, three heroes were waiting for me (they have a great news service since it was just seconds ago since i earned the right to enter the Hall of Valor). They know how to force Alduin to fight us.
The final battle with Alduin was made trivial by the the three heroes, witch got his attention, allowing me to hit him from the sides.


Next i will join the Dawnguard and help them deal with the vampires. This is a big turning point for my character. He's now a master of the S&B fighting style and it's time to learn how to use those "clunky two-handed weapons".

Well done AD, yeah Skuldafn is a fun slaughterfest ain't it.....well as long as you don't go and get yerself killed that is. On a previous run through, Adella got cornered in a small room in the South Tower....hacked to bits.

But not this time :)

Robe wearers are still her bane. Met a Thalmor execution squad....had to run from the Wizard's shock bolts. Got 'im a few minutes later once recovered!

We are now Arch mage if you please :) Next up...Dark Brotherhood....Adella loves doing a spot of torture and slow agonising death. Personally I think the DBH is a bad influence on her personality....but, I have to let her develop as she pleases.

Right now, just heading back to Lakeview from Winterhold. I think she deserves a mini break. I can be very nice to her....take her to a safe and warm grotto, a few cigars, some very expensive wine....maybe Cyrodiliic Brandy if I can find enough. Play her some tavern music, just let m'lady chill and relax. Yeah, a day off sounds good! :)

Edit...stop press...just in, Adella's video as she becomes Arch Mage :)

Here's a sobering thought.
IRL I would be the same height as Delphine, about 5 foot 6-7"

Just look at the Contessa....in Diano boots with kitten heels.....(her VampRogue stilettos add about another 3 inches to this)

What a woman......she is just Magnificent ! <big sigh>
See why I do as I am told.....chuckles

One more!
Ok...This was Hewnon Blackskeever's last view of the world before a boot clamped his throat......
Posted Image

Lastly!
Adella has this way of kinda looking straight back through the screen and right into you......I just melt......and she knows it ;)

Altmer are the tallest....which Adella matches for hieght, but in vanilla the males and female of each race are the same hieght.

Oddly in Skyrim they made Bosmer quite tall. Remember Oblivion with its four feet(ish) tall Woodelves.

Yeah, Female Bosmer have always been normal height (1.00), but previously, Bosmer males were .90 height. For some reason, they changed that to .98 for Skyrim.

1st Person Camera Height is messed up in Skyrim anyway. Maybe they thought that it would be too noticeable with a proper male Bosmer height.

Must just get this in...
Adella's Level 50 stats update as she begins Destiny three...the Dark Brotherhood.


.......

Glargg, Yeah, I was going on the published hieght for a Nord being iirc 6 foot 1" and using cheat room to change the 1.00 to 1.04 for Adella

In Oblivion Bosmer were very noticably short....but in Skyrim...Faendal for example is about Nord height....so it's a bit screwed up...

Another DBH contract under her belt. This time, discrediting Gaius Maro, the Solitude security officer's son. Commander Maro, a proud father, will be so distrought that his mind will not be properly on his job....and we, 'um Adella....will take the advantage to slip through security and further the Dark Brotherhood's master plan. Yay! :wine:

See how the Contessa got on in "Breaching Security"


Despite my misgivings, Adella really enjoys the DBH quests. However, I am quite right of course, the DBH does bring out the very worst in her, but she absolutely loves it....the sick puppy.

Following on from our last video, Adella returned to the Sanctuary to find that Cicero had run amok.

Apparently unable to tolerate Astrid's disregard for the Night Mother any longer, he had lashed out then fled.

Contessa Adella was dispatched to hunt him down at his bolt hole in the old abandoned Dawnstar Sanctuary.
Here's the action...

This was not 'my' usual ending for this quest. Adella, more and more does things differently to my established patterns....but I find her unpredictability....refreshing, for my game play :)

Adella made a special dish for the emperor's last meal....or she thought it was until Cmdr Maro popped up to give her the bad news!



Yeah, that chef outfit did nothing for her...constricting her boobs near flat and ruining her hair....She hated every minute of it.
...........

Wow, over on the other site Adella's Way has just hit ten thousand views....jeez

Adella raced back to the Sanctuary, but Maro's men were already there. They didn't stand a chance, but the damage was done. :(

The emperor now serves Sithis, as does the orchestrator of his demise. The Contessa did not get paid to eliminate Motierre, but some kills are simply for pleasure eh.
In anycase, she had a sneaking regard for old Titus and he died well. She reckoned he deserved his spot of revenge from beyond the grave hmmm!

The best bit was seeing her catch up Cmdr Maro, they both had scores to settle.

Enjoy the action here in "Hail Sithis"


Well, just one more to go, then we can move on to the next destiny :banana:
