Dwemsey turned 45 in Solstheim and is currently running errands for Neloth. 51 hours played; so have some time but still a lot of running around to do. I have 3 gems so far, so could only do part of Kagrumez, but holy hell the spawns of tempered spheres, spiders and ballistas was gnarly. If one is playing melee without a follower you would really have a rough go!

Neil, I think I ran into your 3 burning spriggans NW of Neloths place as I was heading back to Raven Rock. I was taking pretty good damage and that was with Rayya and a sphere in the mix! When I thought it was clear one of them came up from behind me just like happened to you. I must say that Solstheim is growing on me a bit, and will have to hang out there more with a regular character after this competition.

Wow, it looks like I am the president and only member of the "I like Irky" club B-) I'll see if I still give it a thumbs up after I take my Orc through. She'll be melee centric, and I know that's a whole different ballgame.

Yeah, your Nightingale companions, in addition to sucking skeever tail in their trap avoidance skill, on Legendary their damage output is pathetic. The two of them were battling two frostbite spiders...I let them go at it while I looted Falmer and still had to kill the damn spiders for them. Mercer could handle himself pretty well, these two not so much! If nothing else, they provide another target for the Falmer to focus on. :tes:



I love Irkngthand. I don't love and won't do the TG.

I'll do a detailed update on Al later today. I'm really tired and it's about bedtime, eh? :) I see the sun is up so I shouldn't be.

Just a quick note or two. Al has so far done far better than I expected. Brave Dragonborn that she is, she undertook to assault the legions of defending hordes in Reachwind Eyrie... and once again emerged victorious... ;)

However, she also did Nchuan-zel because Sam got her drunk and abandoned her in Markarth. She actually did quite well in there, of course the difficulty was (is) still apprentice. I think she's level 18, not sure.

Al also did Saarthal and Fellglow Keep, and has actually just arrived back in Winterhold from Fellglow. Mzulft soon...

Did I mention she is just sooo... BAD! She's a lot of fun, though weaker in many ways than Aahni or Tubasha, but bad to the bone! Anyway, details will follow later. :)

I don't believe I have any idea what a cinnabon might be... Guessing that it uses cinnamon in some way, so I'd be in heartburn misery in any case.

I never could come close enough to the real thing to satisfy me. Actually I think the last one I had was probably 10 years ago at Provo Mall.

Sounds suspiciously like what we would call a "cinnamon roll" around here. You can't buy good ones anymore though... nobody makes them right. If they did, I would maybe brave the heartburn, eh?

yeah pretty much.. "Cinnabon"is a trademark name...

Sere.. I loooove the "Cinnabon" ones.. but Michael does not... too much cinnamon for him..

I generally make a small batch.. and Michael's get's a sprinkling of cinnamon.. and I roll mine in it, then roll them up. There IS a place in town here that sell's them.. but I hate trying to get my beast of a truck into the parking lot.. and around the corner of the drive-thru is even worse, wasn't made for truck's I'm guessing, though why not, I haven't a clue.

Gaius Zombius is rolling along. He just finished Lost to the Ages and now has a shiny new shield. He has joined the Dawnguard and has escorted Serana home. He is level 27, wearing Legendary Dwarven Armor and using an unenchanted Dwarven sword and a Dwarven bow of thunderbolts. He is just below the armor cap, so barely takes any physical damage. Getting swarmed by vamps is his current biggest threat, but not really an issue at this difficulty level.

Dwemer locations cleared:
Arkngthamz
Avanchnzel
Bthalft
Bthardamz
Nchuand-Zel
Raldbthar
Reachwind Eyrie

Artifacts:
Zephyr
Spellbreaker
Aetherium Shield
A lot of Centurion dynamo cores

Dwemsey at 58.42 hours is back at Lakeview after finishing up in Solstheim. I think we cleared all the listed spots, but will double check. I'll post a complete tally and inventory later...both of us have had it for the day ;) I know have 252 creatures and 280 automatons killed and gathered 26 cores. I'm going to start Orcestra next and give it a go with less of a "ringer."

Very impressive! It will be tough to catch Dwemsey. I just hope I don't get lapped by Orcestra!

With people re-rolling characters, I think it needs pointed out that once you hit the 60 hour limit, your score up to then is all that counts. I know it isn't specified in the rules explicitly, but the reason we do the time limit is to keep it fair for players who might not have time to put in multiple runs, or even hit the 60 hour threshold.

If you're having fun, then by all means carry on, but I felt that that should be noted.

I do realize that Kane. I'm playing Al strictly for the fun of it, and the competition setting just makes it more fun. I doubt I could beat Aahni's score with her anyway, let alone beat Lapuaboy's guy! It'll be fun to see how far she can get though.

EDIT: I hope you don't mind if she's updated as normal though.
