I've been kinda busy as of late, with very little downtime. Will probably be back soon.

The Adventures of Wayward the Elf:
Episode 3 (I Think):
Watch Me Grind ;)


We just arrive to find this cleverly placed piece of ironic irony.

We slay a few enemies and gain a level...
1f3orts.png
I am more pwerfuller than ever!
And promptly die. So we come back and are more careful this time and actually gain a few decent items and a level to keep. We now look like this:

And have reached AC 0. So now I sell my old blade and get a whopping sixteen hundred gold for it. IDK what enchantment it had, but it was otherwise a normal sword. We go to make these spells to make life easier:


Now, all decked out, we save and return to the Stonekeep to finally reach the end of it. We get right up to the end, grab the paper and promptly get raped by five ghouls. All at once. From behind
1f3orts.png
I am still sore.
So we decide to grind out a few more levels. Here are some highlights:




So, now that we are a LVL 4 Soceror, we will grind to level 6 in order to have low cost enough spells to be able to use them effectively in this part of the game, where almost no enemies are mages or magical in nature.
Post word: So, this one finally goes up. I had a hard time, first with the game, then with Imgur and Photobucket and lastly, with the Codex itself.I actually played this part at least a week and a half ago, however, haven't played any since as I've been trying to figure out all these issues. Luckily, all noticeable chinks have been worked out and so this LP should move relatively smoothly for the rest of the month. (After which, I give no guarantees).

What did I tell ya?
Travels of Wayward the Elf, Episode 4:
Ghouls and Priests of Jack
Hi guys. Welcome back. sorry about how late this is, Christmas had me busy and then school, haven't had any time to play.
Anyways, back to hell.

So, in the past few weeks, I reached level 7 and have p. low AC.

After a long and arduous march that the screencap feature glitched out on, we make it past ghouls and orcs to finally find the frickin tablet or whatever.
1f3orts.png
Yes, it was all very dangerous and badass. Please, trust us on this...
Right, so anyway, we trave back to Rihad to talk to white overlord mistress lady.
1f3orts.png
Yay, slavery references!!
However, we arrive in dark spooky times and see one of the scariest things EVAR!!!!!1!!

A priest masturbating on a dimly lit street corner. Yes, it is as scary as it sounds and you should be very afraid.
Anyway, we walk into the inn, ashamed at what we were just witness to and get a room for the night and make the trek to cure our disease at the temple. Inside we find...

Another masturbating priest, God what is this, the Church of Lord Jack? In any event, we cure our disease thst we caught from the ghoul figth you missed (sorry about that) and go talk to Mistress Massuh Lady.

1f3orts.png
Damn straight he's in an early grave.
What the hell are you talking about?
1f3orts.png
I mean we killed a lot of thos creepy goblin guys in there, right?
Well, yeah.
1f3orts.png
Well, one of them was bound to be Golthog
:facepalm:
On that happy note, we end Episode Four. Next time, we brave the shallowest parts of the least deep dungeon of the first game in the first...
You get it.
Sorry for how short this is, next one should be larger.

The Adventures of Wayward the Elf: EP. 4: I'll Put my Fang In Your Lair

Welcome back to the bestest LP right now (yeah fuckin' right!) This time we utterly dominate the dungeon Fang Lair.
As it stands, I lost my save from escaping Stonekeep. So I had to escape again. On the other hand, it's a blessing cause I got another level up.
So, anyways, on to the shit you haven't seen.
Ajmepj9.png

Here we see Wayward's new LV 8 stats. His INT and WIL are rising steadily. I plan to have 100 in both by LV 17.
Next, we go and sell all of our Stonekeep loot and then to the MG to make some new spells.
oVizmQp.png

I forgot to catch this one once I named it. I called it Flame Touch.
8JK2Ffl.png

EZiABYK.png

vndRoK1.png

Next, we travel to the newly revealed Fang Lair.
JIyfyqI.png

I think it took 21 days to travel end to end across Cyrolol in Oblivion three times. (And yes, I did map it out kill me now)
QRlIrLF.png

Y'know, a lot of people might say this is a cheap way to get away from having detailed graphics, but I think (and I'm positive the majority here agrees) that written descriptions are way better at giving the place a sense of detail.
FQ67q9h.png

Here's the duct tunnels that are actually really fun to navigate.
1f3orts.png
For you, maybe. These things are claustrophobic.
Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Anyway, on with the adventures.
ThA1PSA.png

In all seriousness, these fucker are annoying as hell. They charge you faster than you can move, and hit five times to my one. Luckily, I remembered my Shadewalk spell I made.
1f3orts.png
Invisibility's a godssend.
I thought you weren't religious?
1f3orts.png
Well, I mean, I am a god...
Just wait five to ten levels, you'll get there. Anyway...
WAbp2s9.png

More fucking minotaurs. Seriously, if a game can make me truly hate an enemy, that must mean its good and at least slightly difficult.
C3cJNVR.png

Spiders. These guys would be annoying if I wasn't a high elf. As it is, they slow me down. From here on, I'll try to avoid the s-word.
cg7TFeO.png

This is the part where you know you're getting close to the end. At the end of this hall, we find a riddle. This riddle really makes absolutely no sense and this will be the only time that I've referred to a wiki for help here except for level reqs.
TAJAooD.png

Seriously, I'm not even gonna tell you guys the right answer and see if I'm just stupid and you guys can figure this one out.
iG7iZjj.png

So, anyway, I input the right answer and get told how genius I am and how big my dick must be. We proceed to the second floor. There are skellingtons, but I just shadewalk around them. REally, at this point, I was fucking tired of skeletons. Okay, anyway...
emoTbab.png

Here's our second riddle in the game and this dungeon. I'll put the one with the answer in it in a spoiler box
SPHBWEB.png
Seriously, I really like riddles in games and I wonder why they don't put things like this in modern "RPGs"
oBsGS9c.png

After shadewalking two hellhounds to death, I recieve the first piece of the Staff of Chaos.
lMLEz4d.png

1f3orts.png
Throbbing, eh? Well, I mean it is in my presence, so I don't blame it.
:roll:
Here's a couple of screenshots of the way back.
BMSgNok.png

yZUKL1D.png

poOF4rq.png

4XL2fjY.png

We then rest in a Rihadan (Rihadi?) inn. Hot wet dream girl shows up again.
GyTSkSa.png

1f3orts.png
Yeah, I'll delve into your Labyrinthian, Human Woman.

The Adventures of Wayward the Elf:
Episode 5- Frosty Fortress​

Welcome back! I've been getting kinda timely, haven't I?
1f3orts.png
Well, it'd be about damn time, if two updates was anything to speak by.
Shut it. Anyway, we had just recieved a wet dream vision from Ria Silmane.
1f3orts.png
I swear it wasn't! She told me where we need to go!
Suuure she did. I'm positive that she told you lots of things. So, we hed to Skyrim...
tRdBLMe.png

And to Winterhold...
tEf6OSf.png

To find this Labyrinthian.
1f3orts.png
Wait, why do we go specifically there?
My meta-knowledge sixth-sense tells me to go there.
So, once we get there, we decide that since it's night, we'll head to the inn to pick up a wench and catch a night's sleep, if you know what I mean. On the way there, however, this happens...
oE5yDtv.png

onkTjmP.png
...
the attention you deserve, or something like that. TBH, I can't find the last screen of that monologue.
1f3orts.png
Oh gods. What ever will he send to fight me?
This.
onkTjmP.png

A zombie. Another thing that if we weren't a high elf would be annoying due to paralysis. After a difficult fight...
mSMoe5g.png

......Yeah. I guess he really does under-estimate me. Anyway, we go to the inn and find this guy after a good night's sleep.
KaMndh3.png

J3RVxF2.png

We tell him thanks for justifying my metagame and find our way to the MG in Winterhold.
1f3orts.png
Wait, don't you mean The College?
I don't know what you're.... Oh God, the repressed memories, they're coming back.... (Goes off to psych ward to repress the CoW guild questline again)
(3 hours later...)
Please don't ever mention that again!!
Phew. So now, we make it there to talk to this guy...
uj1cCGR.png

1f3orts.png
Wait, have you been scrying me? How the hell does he know what I've been up to?
Just get the damn location of the place from him.
7RfdozR.png

Apparently, he took this as acceptance of his quest and marks the place on our map.
While we're here, we make some new spells...
SRZSUJh.png

GdyiSII.png

And lastly, my favorite (you'll see why...)
KUuIPgC.png

Ater buying some RP Potions, here's my stats
ol7wq6l.png

RIqv41s.png

9EaLyHa.png

Pyp7k6L.png

We travel to The Fortress of Ice, a place with no lore, that will never recieve any and never even be mentioned again. If only Labyrinthian had gotten that treatment.
SlT9frR.png

We find some Ice Wolves, who are our best friends, because, with the Fortify Absorption spell, I have a 93% chance of absorbing spells, and these guys just machinegun you with them. This is why a sorceror is overpowered. This would have used all my magic up as a Mage or a Healer to do (because of the addition of the SA effect). The last time I faced these guys, they tore my Khajiit Thief to shreds. This time, well, you can see.
4IAXs3I.png

1f3orts.png
No, I see a puddle of water!
Well, when you walked in, it was an Ice Golem. Spell Absorption FTW.
1f3orts.png
NO. I FTW!!
Okay, fine, whatever.
NET7FXM.png

After about half an hour, we see the first signs of those knights people were talking about. This far in, though...
iGZZit5.png

Here's some more Puddle Golems. After this, we wander for a while to find this door.
uAWYGM6.png

I figured something out. In Arena, if you see a riddle, you're getting near the end of either the floor or the dungeon in general. Once again, the answer is in spoilers, even though this one should be obvious.
Gyd9P8Z.png
Really, if you can't figure this one out... I don't even know what amount of incredulity is due.
PzvVz1S.png

We make it thorugh to the Second Floor. And our first enemy on this next floor is (Cue drum roll)....
nybW8J0.png

A... A wolf? What?
1f3orts.png
Really, what is the purpose of this? How could the universe underestimate me so? Please, don't let it be written in the Elder Scrolls that I fought wolves for a quarter of my adventure.
Really, are you actually mad?
1f3orts.png
What? No. Mwahahaha, slaughter!!
Wait, no! We can't use copyrighted material!
1f3orts.png
Damn!
Anyway, we move on. We find a few more wolves of both types, but by now, well, they aren't.
We gain a level!
21GORbP.png

dalJx6V.png

And find the whatchamacallit, that whatshisface wanted.
j9sxvhj.png

Well, that's it for now.
1f3orts.png
Wait, what? You're ending on a cliffhanger?
Hey, at least I didn't cut to black in midsente-

Part 6: Tragedy!!
Welcome back. In today's action-packed installment, we face a tragic loss.
1f3orts.png
I'd like to start by saying a few words in his honor.
He was always there for us. He saved our lives countless times and he will be sorely missed.
Alright! Now that the emo crap is outta the way, let's get on with it!
As we were walking out of the room with the whatchamacallit, we find some social activity!
SVN72e6.png

Unfortunately, he doesn't like our opiniated political discourse and attacks us. We easily defeat him of course, but, at the end, tragedy strikes! The WarHammer disappears. We look frantically in the inventory, but find:
X2ro6ph.png

It's unequipped! Could this mean...
1f3orts.png
No! It could have been a spell! Or. Or...
Iwn3Ka8.png

I'm sorry man.
1f3orts.png
Noooooo! You really did it. You bastards!!!!
C'mon... Let's get outta here...
1f3orts.png
Hammer...
fcQoeLO.png

1f3orts.png
Outta my way! I'm not in the mood!
Would you feel better if we Shadewalked out of here?
1f3orts.png
Yes. Then I can haz Hammer?
Yes. Then you can haz hammer.
gN6Hudb.png

Sometimes the RNG works like a beaut, doesn't it?
1f3orts.png
Hammer...
7BadhLg.png

We come up and find that we are two passwalls away from the exit.
1f3orts.png
And Hammer..?
6akSrXf.png

We then return to Winterhold, victorious in our quest!
1f3orts.png
But at what cost!?
Erherm. Anyways, we go to the MG in Winterhold and talk to whatshisface.
lMX4gwY.png

1f3orts.png
It's so touching to see how much cared about me... And so enraging to see how little you care about the hammer!!
Okay, listen. We'll go buy you a new one right now, alright?
1f3orts.png
I can haz hammer?
Yeah. You can haz...
YcaeUSY.png

...Or maybe not...
1f3orts.png
Hammer...? Hammer...? No Hammer..? Rargg!
Woah woah, it's alright, we'll grab you a nice dai-katana, alright?
1f3orts.png
Hammer!!
Let's make a deal. You take the dai-katana now, and we'll go artifact hunting, get you something real nice.
1f3orts.png
Hmm..... I accept!
Alright, so we purchase the dai-katana and travel to the Imperial City to find some info on an artifact.
2yOM8nq.png

Nothing to do with artifacts, just thought this was kinda ironic.
9smXXAB.png

1f3orts.png
Did- did she just say...?
Yeah, buddy. She did
1f3orts.png
Hammer!!!
What luck... :roll:
1f3orts.png
We must to the Cherry Pit right away.
nbY83em.png

1f3orts.png
I... I want...
078BUaK.png

1f3orts.png
Hammer..!
Y5ObYF0.png

1f3orts.png
I'll give you all my money and this man's soul for this!
Wait just a minute...
jzgK8xW.png

Don't I have any say in this!!
5SH7uok.png

1f3orts.png
Like- like hammer? You've lost yours, too?
75cUnnp.png

XDJ4gni.png

HfCbcfu.png

AZkJHTd.png


And with that, we close. Next time, will our hero receive his Hammer? Will I get to keep my soul? Does any of this matter? Do any of you care? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z The Adventures of Wayward the Elf

Slaying Trolls in Newhammer
Welcome back to Arena, after my extended leave. I was busy for the past week on a personal project.
1f3orts.png
Yeah, "personal project"... What's her name?
Shut it.
Here we go.
hX7RZL4.png

Here's our character sheet. As you can see, with our INT boost lasting as long as it does, we essentially have 300 MP for the duration of a dungeon.
1f3orts.png
Stop copying MicroSelva and get on with getting my hammer.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.
vwQCQim.png

We now travel to the dungeon to find the map.
yaSfP81.png

Here's a shot of the entrance.
cyD0Yuh.png

Skipping a bunch of bull, here's the next floor.
In fact, what the hell, here's the end of the dungeon.
uAHjDOy.png

1f3orts.png
Well, that's convenient.

Shut it. Anyway, we head to the dugeon and enter to find our new hammer.
1f3orts.png
YAAAAAYYY!!!
lZxQvbE.png

We had to swim from there to get here. Damn linearity of RNG.
1f3orts.png
Huh. You never hear those words together.
yaSfP81.png

After more nonsense, we reach the end of this floor.
1f3orts.png
You're being really lazy about this.
Shut up... me...
2lktltN.png

It's a troll!!
C35scYn.png

1f3orts.png
Take that Skyway!

How do you even know who that is??
1f3orts.png
Umm, duh. The interwebs. Where else?

N-nevermind.
sFK2SMS.png

Here's the end of the floor!
Or5O1Pd.png

We face the retarded ghoul of Azgrahlha in fierce, pitched battle. It was a fiery battle, filled with environmental destruction, viscerality and SOIL EROSION!!1!!
..
.....
......
No, really!!
..............
Here's the evidence!!!
z7SMOqa.png

See!!?
TDRULNX.png

End of floor!!
Last Floor!!
1sFsofi.png

Empty Halls!!
1f3orts.png
Stop dragging this on!

Oh, by the way, you caught a disease.
1f3orts.png
Whatever.

You say that now...

For some reason, I didn't capture finding the cheast, but...
HiC5yQQ.png

1f3orts.png
:bounce:
JBzQGXs.png

1f3orts.png
Hammer!! HAMMER!!!! HAMMER, MWAHAHAHA!!!
Don't forget you're diseased.
1f3orts.png
Shut it.

On the way back...
pjMWHwl.png

1f3orts.png
YAAAAAAAYY! This is the best day of my life!

You say that now...
2I4TRh3.png


We make it to the entrance/exit with relatively little of interest occuring in between.
However, on the way there, we died of the Plague.
1f3orts.png
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YOU BASTARDS, YOU REALLY DID IT!!!

Anyway, we reload, only to die three more times, adventure through half of that nonsense again and get out with no casualties.
N95FCKR.png

End of update character sheet.
1f3orts.png
Would you look at that, the beautiful gold veneer, the way I hold it. *salivates*

Uh, huh. Well, next time, we proceed the MQ. Labyrinthian, here we come!!

Plague is one of the diseases you can get. It leeches some stats until they hit 0 and you die. As for Volendrung, I believe I do gain a corresponding strength increase. The more OP part of it is paralysis which can help carry any non-magic class to the mid/end game.
