Part 10: Twilight
Finally back with a new part of this LP of Thief's Creed V.
===
Hey there, OLD BUDDY.
Alright, let's go.
I need the boots of Springheel Jak. He is a famous thief that died some 300 years ago. Legend has it that he was buried with his boots on. Find out where Springheel Jak is buried and bring me back those boots. Will you do this for me? It pays well.
Ugh. More crawling through crypts. Wish I'd get some normal jobs. Whatever, I'll do it.
Capital! The Earl of Imbel is the only descendant of his line that I've been able to locate. His name is Jakben, and he lives somewhere in the Imperial City. There might be a clue in the Earl's house.
[Intelligence]Hmm, there might be a clue in the Earl's house.
Finding Jakben's house is going to require some intense detective work.
[Intelligence] He is a vampire.
This is the place.
I'm assuming he's out and about during the night, so that's when I come back.
A surprisingly large amount of residents in this house. The fact that they're asleep leads me to believe that they're not vampires, though.
Jakben, however, [Intelligence] most certainly is a vampire.
Or just very messy.
But probably a vampire.
Bros before hoes
No mention of Springheel Jak. I guess I'll explore the house some more.
FUCK.
Well, at least the guy isn't attacking us. Maybe he isn't a vampire, after all?
Or maybe he is and has something up his sleeve?
I ask him about Springheel Jak's burial place.
I should kill this guy just in case, but neither I, nor the guild, like to deal in blood.
Let's just head to the crypt.
Damn it. I hope this place isn't too big.
Okay, so the the Earl definitely is a vampire since he's letting these guys stay down here. I proceed with caution.
This is looking promising.
VERY promising.
Just as I thought.
The boots aren't here, though. Still, the diary might be useful.
[Intelligence] The Gray Cowl is at work here.
Seems the effects of the cowl are so potent that he forgets what he has written at the top of the page by the time he gets to the bottom.
[Intelligence] I think The Earl of Imbel might be a vampire.
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT.
A couple of decades is a good enough run, dude.
Ah, and here are the boots.
I return to the Gray Fox.
Yup.
Capital! This may be the last piece of the puzzle. I need to spend more time with Savilla's Stone first. I am truly indebted to you. If all goes well, I might call upon you for one last task. The danger will be great, but the reward will be greater. For now, here is your reward. Let us leave Ganredhel's house and go our separate ways. We have overstayed out welcome.
Looks like I might be done with this shit soon.

11.1: The Sands of Time
Time to finish the Thieves Guild questline. Since the last quest is pretty long, I'll be splitting it up into shorter posts in a logical manner. Expect at least 2 parts today.
With that out of the way, on to Part 11!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KUmAphvThQ
===
I've been once again summoned by the Gray Fox. This time to a house in the Imperial City.
, I am.
How much we getting paid?
There is no buyer. This is for glory, not for money. Our names will become legend. I also have a personal need for this particular scroll.
Oh, so, to put it shortly, you're once again using guild assets for personal gain. : x
As for your compensation, I ask you to trust me. If my plan works, you will get a reward worth far more than mere money. Will you do it?
Expecting major
, but yeah, whatever, get on with it.
The Elder Scrolls are kept in the Imperial City Palace behind a door that cannot be breached. Savilla's Stone has revealed a path around this door. You will have to travel the Old Way. Once used as an escape route for Imperial Emperors, it has been forgotten for centuries. To unseal the entrance you must sneak into basement of the palace and activate the Glass of Time, whatever that is.
Where's the entrance to this Old Way then?
In the Imperial Sewers. Here is the gate for the gate to that section of the sewers. I picked the pocket of Ocato himself to get it.
Anything else you could tell me about the Old Way?
The boots of Springheel Jak will allow you to leap to an unreachable place. They will also protect you from a long fall. The Arrow of Extrication is the only way to unlock the final door. Take them both. Once you are inside the palace itself, you need to find a reading room. The blind priests will deliver a scroll to you there.
How'd you arrange that?
I arranged for the notable Celia Cameron to want to read a particular Elder Scroll. Don't ask how.
We couldn't think of a good reason.
... However, she will be... unavoidably detained. You will take her place. Do not speak to the priests. They are blindfolded and will not realize it isn't here unless you speak.
Well, here's the tiny and unimpressive Imperial Palace.
I'll keep that in mind.
Just one guy patrolling down here. Activating the Glass of Time should be simple enough.
That's not obvious at all.
Now we just have to leave the palace and head to the sewers!
Again,.

11.2: Finding The Way
Apologies for theses microscopic updates. The next one will be longer.
===
Time for another bland crawl through the sewers.
That doesn't sound too inviting.
Damn it. Looks like we're going to be dealing with vampires here.
Looks like I was right.
I find it hard to believe that anyone finds this attractive.
There's a closed door here, so we should explore somewhere else. Like up there.
I head upstairs and do some more vampire killing.
Ah, this wheel...
... opens the locked door from before.
We head deeper into the sewers, killing some more vampires along the way.
Getting close.
More vampires.
And ghosts! This is not good. Ghosts can only be harmed by magical or silver items. I've only brought 8 silver arrows and a shitty little silver dagger. Let's hope there aren't a lot of these guys down here.

11.3: Land of the Dead
Ask, and ye shall receive.
===
Well, here I am. The Old Way. The last stretch before reaching the Imperial Palace and the heist starts proper.
Lots of undead here
I can't shake the feeling that security should be a bit tighter.
So many choices! Where to go?
Eh, let's go through the other one then.
Damn, a lot of ghosts here. I'm running low on silver arrows.
The crumbling, boarded up doorway is a dead end.
A new bow!
Damn it, I just went in a circle. What did I miss?
Aha!
Because who doesn't love catacombs!
This place is much heavier on skeletons than the ones before.
Holy shit, this place is crawling with undead.
And with that I am out of silver arrows. I must now resort to a dagger when fighting ghosts.
Like so.
I must be getting close.
The switch must be up there. Normally, I couldn't get up there, however...
With a name like that, this must be the end of the Old Way.
This is most certainly where I have to use the Arrow of Extrication.
That must be where I have to shoot it from.
Damn, I can't get to it!
Time for some more dungeon crawling to open that door.
Well, I've reached a dead end, so that must be it. Time to head back.
As I step on this pressure plate...
... the statue turns around and a little slot opens in the chest of it. That must be where I have to shoot the arrow.
Here we go...
Let's just head over there and get thi- OH SHIT.
The 2 statues came alive as I approached. I dispose of them easily with a gas arrow, though. How that affects statues is beyond me, but I just roll with it.
OH FUCK YEAH I AM SO PUMPED BROS

11.4: The Ivory Tower
Here is the penultimate part of Glorious LP.
===
So, we've finally reached the Imperial Palace. This is it. This is where the real work starts. Perhaps I'll finally be able to relive the glory days.
Oh shit! I'm right in the barracks.
I wonder if they care there's a door to an abandoned dungeon filled with undead right where they sleep.
Luckily, everyone goes their way and I'm free to move on.
The dark, wide corridors makes avoiding patrols extremely simple.
I've said it before and I'll say it before. Security is not tight enough in any establishment in this province.
Here's the entrance to the library. I don't see what good a blind guard behind bars does.
We go around and pull the switch that opens the door to the library.
More people walking around, but, like I said, everyone is very easy to avoid.
Here's the library. Quite pretty, though I don't see how lighting a huge fire in the middle of a library is a good idea.
I sit down and wait for the monks to bring me the Elder Scroll.
Let's take a peek, shall we?
So cool and complex!
Time to leave. I don't want to go through the Old Way again, so I head forwards, not back the way I came.
Even the guards are more cultured here!
More blind people!
Eh, let's risk it.
Ah! I don't even notice that she's here while snooping around the room. Luckily, she doesn't notice me.
Luckily, she leaves, and I steal some of her shit.
Ah, ok, I get it. Might as well.
Bracing
for
impact.
All that's left now is an easy crawl back through the sewers.
I did it! Heist of the century!

That was epic.
No. Wait. No it wasn't.
