AWKWARD ZOMBIE

We take the long hike back to Riverwood. Time to hand in this relic and be done with it.



The sun is only setting once we get back, but I'm thoroughly tired.





I give the man his stupid fucking claw. I don't bother boring him with how I ended up surrounded in fucking zombie archers and a giant spider was about to eat me just to get his cheap stylish key.



A great thing here means retrieving a meaningless shiny trinket.



He pays me in 400 Septims. Maybe I can start a collection fine jewlery, or get a 6-pack of mead.



Oh, and I better peddle him all the useless shit I picked up from those bandits.



This book is actually accurately priced. I can't imagine why he'd want it, though.



I finally have enough to inspect more magicks, of the undead variety.



It sure doesn't look as friendly or as fuzzy as the healing stuff. I probably shouldn't wield it constantly or else my soul will be sucked out of me or something.



Now it's getting dark. We'll sleep now, and I guess we're just going to Whiterun from here in the morning.



Apparently renting the room means I own it, or she just lost track of time or something. Whatever, I can keep my cheddar.





...Wait a second.

Faendal, did you get taller?



Anyway, it's really early again but we should just start travelling now.



While on the road, I see a stag or something, but it outruns me.
Fucking stags.



While I wasn't looking, I think Faendal assassinated this wolf. Either way, it's dead, so it makes a perfect test subject for this new spell.



Uh...wow. I didn't think that would work.
Alright, follow me Deadwolf.



Still looks pretty fucking scary.

While I was running ahead, Deadwolf got lost or something. Just Faendal now.



There's some peasants up ahead. Peasants, why are you peasants?



These guys were at Helgen!
I was at Helgen!

Maybe I should start making T-shirts or something. "HELGEN 4E 201".
It would certainly stop these awkward conversations about how everyone you knew and loved was killed by a dragon, and how all of your possessions have been burnt to ash.



I give the man some gold. I can spare it; it's a pittance, really.



Faendal is really creepy

I wish he would leave



Whiterun is up ahead. I'll keep following the path for now, though.



Holy shit.

Imagine, for a second, walking right the fuck into Trump Tower.

This is the Nordic equivalent.



I kind of imagined this place being made of gold.
Instead, it looks like every other stupid wooden peasant house that's asking to be burnt down. At least they have a nice rug, though.



You know this guy is legit when he is not just the owner, but also the proprietor of Overpriced Mead Co.
Two words that mean the exact same thing.



He also sells actual food, which is good because I'm hungry.
I buy this pie. It is delicious.



Two bottles of your finest mead! This sets me back a bit, but it makes me look pretty ballin' so it's totally worth it.



I then drink both of them in front of Faendal's face.
Apparently that's not quite passive-aggressive enough to get him to leave without me asking.



Let's keep moving.



What the shit.



What the shit



One of these badass troll killa ballin' swag mofos starts insulting me behind my back.
She's bodaciously talking to me behind my back. I can't see her through this whole conversation.

Anyway, you guys didn't really give me a chance to help you. It was dead before I could even get into spitting range.



But- But-
I was eating pie! ;_;



Anyway, she tells me about the Companions, which sounds sort of like a prostitute union, but is actually an A-Team of Mercs who do things like kill giants and break bricks with their fists.

Actually, that doesn't sound too far out of my range. Maybe if I join them and go through their insane training program that probably involves mopping, I could be a Companion?



It's starting to sound kind of Nord-y. Too much honor and valor. I better stick out of it.



Moving on, I run into some stables.
Hell, I could use a horse, but there doesn't seem to be anyone here.



Some people conveniently pour out of the house after I wait for a few minutes. Alright, how much do these horsies cost?





That one looks, uh, interesting. I guess.
What am I supposed to be looking for in a horse?



Wait, what?
Didn't I have a ton of coin earlier?

Oh god.
The mead.
I spent all my cheddar on mead.



I guess we'll be walking for a while longer.



That would be the place where that giant had his booty kicked.
I guess that's not important enough news though. Things are just going "good".



Aw, what. Seriously? Dragons? I thought we were kind of over the dragon at this point.

Whatever, I don't care. Just get the fuck out of my way.



Fair enough.
Wait, I'm official buisness! Right? Because I saw that dragon. That's totally official.



Official enough!



Loose lips sink ships, as they say.
Or summon dragons. Whatever.



I like this town already.

NEXT TIME
CRAZY-booty PREACHER
NON-VIOLENT POLITICS
STONE TABLETS ARE USEFUL
THEN SOME OTHER THING I FORGOT

E: Two things;
1. I don't know what's up with the 800x450 images. I sort of struggled with IrfranView for a while until it worked. I should be able to fix them back to 800x600 for the update after the next one, when I start taking screenshots again.
2. Would anyone be interested in some Deadjaw backstory spliced in whenever he sleeps?

Some backstory would be neat, but it's your call, really.

Eh, I might put it in near the end. It can't really stretch out the whole story and it wouldn't really make sense that way.

Keep it up, man. This is great so far!

I remember first playing Skyrim. Decided to randomly attack my companion the moment I got a sword and didn't expect actually Leveling-Up my one-handed skill doing that.

I need to try this. Most likely using Faendal.

I don't know if it works with him. I tried that with Hadvar. It might work only with him, though. I don't know.

The first post now contains 800% more navigation links and references to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Whoops, turns out I can't fucking do this.

Just going to end this LP now. Sorry, guys. Maybe in summer.

Aw, man. That's too bad... :\

Hope you work out whatever you need to do, and when possible, that you continue this one! ^^
