Thanks Areial and Kane. I am chuffed for Adella, but lets not forget that incredible and really tough high score set by Bram....

Had that not been a target, we would never have faught so hard.....thats a good thing....we like to be stretched (but not by the neck).

Were it not for a random Elder encounter close to the end, Adella would have come up just short. For some reason, random dragons were in really short supply considering it was 60 hours!

In the last few hours Adella was so quick....we ignored all chests, most fights and any trading...frenetic. Sleeping, oddly, we always do and it takes just seconds anyways.

I must admit....once she got so tough that getting killed was low risk (and I let her take healing potions from Skuldafn onwards) it became real fun clearing draugr. :)

Hello everyone :)
Well Rick is bouncing around like he's got ants in his babygrow...chuckle

So down to the bare necesseties sweeties...

Spoiler: click to toggle


This was a truely nail biting finish....and I do so hate biting my nails.

The scary part was that we were totally unfamiliar with Solstiem and I just ran from everything unpleasant. Once inside Dukaan's place it got worse, because it was completely new, dark and full of dead ends....and ends full of dead! We literally blundered around swiping weird spiders and barging past Deathlords. Dukaan himself was no biggie, but then the trapdoor out needed a key...we couldn't find one and had to bumble about trying to leave....all the time the clock was ticking. Saerings Watch was not hard to find....but the Elder dragon decided to be an utter bore and fly around flaming things instead of letting me kill it....well, I got him in the end :)

Now, how about a few screenies hmmm?

Sadly, once again my time in your world has expired and I must bid you all a fond farewell. It was wonderful while it lasted.

Au Revoir
Adella
:aww: :aww: :aww:

Congratulations Contessa. Be sure to take that riding crop to the "boy" and tell him to post your screenshot of the Magic Stats pane that shows all your fabulous dragon souls, unlocked words, etc. Do not let him get away with hiding your main glory for this competition. :evil: Perhaps you could chill the crop first with a frost spell prior to its application.

:cheers:

Bram,
Oh ye of little faith :)

Dragon souls collected is the 24 un-named beasties plus the 6 named ones....30....which agrees as you see with the stats screen.

Words unlocked 46 and one (cyclone) not.
(I initially undercounted cos I forgot Dragonrend entirely, and that call dragon plus call of valour are six words not just two)

The Contessa needs little encouragement to wield her crop my friend I have bruises inside my skull :lmao:

Thank you Grits, Bram and Rich for the kind words :)

And, um, oh yes Bram....do not worry. I have not forgotten the appalling slow start the Lumpshade messed up.....he'll get a good reminder that'll stop him sitting for a week! However, then also something very nice for helping me to do well by the end. I am nothing if not firm, but fair :) (Well mostly)

Dear Adella,

It is wonderful to see your magic stats! Truly paints a complete picture of your magnificent run. Now don't tell "him", but next time we have a run like this I think I'll keep my score (if I don't die) a secret until the very end. You saw how he huffed and puffed to reach and surpass the high score, how much more of a delight will you have egging him on when the height of the bar is unknown. I wish you delicious anticipation of making "him" run, run, run from start to finish. No lazing about like this time! :evil:

Always thinking of your pleasure.

Bram

:cheers:

Congrats to Rick and Adella! :bravo: Great score. This was a very fun round and it seemed that most of us had a good time, despite the rules nonsense in the beginning. I can't wait for the next round :flame:

Thank you Glargg and Rafer :)

Bram,
You are quite right sir.....without knowing your score and whether it was reachable.....I would not have driven Adella so hard.

However, I don't think we are mean't to keep our progress secret as such....thats the point of giving an update every three days isn't it?

In the end you know....you shouldn't NEED to keep anything secret (...I don't) you either rack up the scores or you don't and we are supposed to be....Competing! So visibility is required.

Or.....we ALL keep our powder dry and submit our scores to the host who then announces the winner at the end.....but that's no fun at all....especially for the rooting spectators......ITS like watching an Olympic race done in the dark and you only get told the winner at the end....so boring!


Reading back you know....I was prepared to hang up the hat once reaching 2nd because I thought you were just too far ahead to be reachable in the remaining time.....as it dawned that it might not be the case.....it was flat out....neck craning for the finishing tape. That's the most fun race!

I have yet to muster the discipline to go flat out from the starting blocks...we spent 30 hours just preparing. If you had been on Legendary your score would have been truely beyond our attainment.

Not to worry....the next Round is most definitely your bag....I am rubbish at maximising magic skills....its something I've just not really learned to heart.

You can just zap your way to the podium finish :)

On the other hand (five fingers and a thumb hee!)
If I could persaude Sah to come out to play....well.....she likes a spot of the old mumbo jumbo.......so that might change things again eh!


Now....now the important work of progressing Adella's um....'spiritual' development and her biography....I can't wait :)

Rick that was a "joke" just between Adella and myself, shame on you for reading her letter! ;)

But do not despair I will be providing updates in any future competitions that I'm in as I go just as I did this round.

Um, um, oooops. Yeah sorry I responded for Adella, but in fairness, she has gone home now. I will pass anything on.....um....already has!
Can't even write in private anymore.
Pretty sure she can't "see" this.....but if I think it....she's got it!

I'll do a 'trash talk' post tomorrow in the Bethsoft forums. Or maybe you wanna do that 'back to school' run first?

That would be great! The "Trash Talk" would be about the "School Round"... drum up some more players. We can always use new blood.

Areial, we've talked about this! No blood sacrifices/magic until it's legal :P
Jokes aside, I'll make one about the "school" round tomorrow.
