Tirdas, 25th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 9

Well today I plan on getting one or two items for my house and then head out of town to do some hunting.

Spoke to Ysolda who asked for a mammoth tusk to help her buy the Bannered Inn. I thought I had one in my chest back at Breezehome so I went and had a look, if I didn’t I could always get one when I was out hunting. I knew there were three mammoths near a pair of the giants.

As it so happens I did have one so I gave it to Ysolda. She helped me learn about speech craft which was good. Read more of this post

Loredas, 22nd of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 6

My sleep was fitful and not very restful.  I needed a bed and I knew it. I handed over the claw to the trader and make my way back to Whiterun so I could have a proper sleep there.

Shortly after returning the claw and receiving 400 Gold I was attacked by hired thugs.  I put them down easily enough but it worried me that someone knew I had stolen various items.  I needed to be more careful in future.

I ventured onto the plains surrounding Whiterun in search of game.  Was quite a good trip – I met some giants, although I did avoid them; and even some blasted elves taking a poor fool to be tortured for knowledge of Talos.

After some successful exploring and hide gathering I set off back to Whiterun for a good night’s rest. I travelled to the hall of the Companions to rest in a proper bed.

Turdas, 20th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 4

It’s a new day and I was determined to warn the local Jarl about the dragon threat to Riverwood. I spoke to the Jarl and he rewarded me for delivering the story of Helgen and charged me to find a tablet in Bleak Falls Barrow for his mage Farengar.

I decided to look round the Jarl’s house before leaving and I did some practice on his locked cabinets. I didn’t take much, just an Elven sword and a necklace, I do normally try to be good. Although I did find an unusual gem which I decided to get appraised.  So I’m not all good, but I only take from those who can afford to miss what I take, I do fight and defend those who need my sword. So after doing an errand or two I realised how late it was, so decided to get some sleep and head out first thing in the morning

Middas, 19th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 3

Well it’s a new day, so I have decided to get up early and head towards Whiterun.  On my way out of town I saw Faendal who thanked me for helping him with Camilla.

The road to Whiterun can be dangerous, its a lucky thing I’m good with my swords, pesky wolves kept attacking me. I did find a number of ingredients for potion making which I thought might come in handy to either sell or mix up something. I must remember to keep an eye out for the more exotic samples.

My first glimps of Whiterun impressed me. It was larger than I was expecting and much higher.  It gave me hope of finding work and fellowship there. Read more of this post

Morndas, 17th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 1

Today is most definitely a bad day.  I was crossing the border from my village to get work in the next village when I was ambushed by Imperial troops.  They seemed very excited by someone else who was ahead of me and they thought I was one of his troops.

I was bound and thrown onto a cart and taken to Helgin. With me was a thief, a soldier and an Alfric Storm Cloak. General Talius was taking us to be executed.  As I said, it was a bad day.

I’m a Redguard, born and bred for battle. My name is Stave, son of Lews Darksabre, chief of the Redguard clan Treides, and this is my story.

The day just seemed to get worse, not only was I captured by Imperials for supposedly working with the Storm Cloaks but I was now about to be executed. Read more of this post
