Let's Play Oblivion: The Adventures of Snails!!!!1! (Finito)

I will post the next section, now.

Chapter 10: I Sto'm De Great Gate!

Chapter 10: I Sto'm De Great Gate!

Alright, now that we have gotten enough soldiers to help Bruma, let's head back to Cloud Ruler Temple.



Upon arrival, we overhear a conversation.



I know the risk. I was at Kvatch. But there is no other way. We have no choice.

The Countess will never agree to it ...

She will. She must.

Very well.

The Blades are, as always, at your disposal.





Here is another example of choosing one's dialogue. Sadly, this is one of the better ones.

You did. I can count on you.

I never thought to see a Great Welkynd Stone! As beautiful as all the old tales tell...

But of course it's beauty is a mask for its deadly power, like everything crafted by the Ayleids.

Now we need only one more item, and we'll be ready to open a portal to Mankar Camoran's realm...



Probably not.

I should have seen it sooner.

It's the counterpart to the Great Welkynd Stone, just as the first two were the opposed powers of the daedra and the divines.

Welkynd stones contain the concentrated power of Mundus; their counterparts are Sigil stones, which are used ot hold open Oblivion Gates.

How da hell does dat make dem counterparts?

Beats me!

A Great Sigil Stone, then, is what we require.

Where da hell do we get one o' dem?

You're not going to like it. Jauffre doesn't like it. The Countess of Bruma certainly isn't going to like it.

Great Sigil Stones are the anchors of Great Gates. The kind of gate the Mythic Dawn opened at Kvatch.

The kind of Gate the Mythic Dawn wants to open here to destroy Bruma.

So we jest let dem open a gate?

YEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said you weren't going to like it.

The risk is great. I know. I was at Kvatch. I saw the terrible power of the daedric siege engine.

But we have no choice. The only way to recover the Amulet of Kings is to allow the Mythic Dawn to proceed with their plan to attack Bruma.

You know what? I am sick and tired of every dumb-ass cracka in 'dis here world makin' me do everything! Where will yo' ass be while I have to get de Sigil Stone?!

Well, FYI, I'll lead the defense of Bruma myself. If I am to be Emperor, it's time I started acting like one.



As usual, I will pick the second option.

Remember whe we first met in Kvatch? I told you that I didn't want any part of the gods' plan.

I still don't know if there is a divine plan. But I've come to realize that it doesn't matter.

What matters is that we act. That we do what's right, when confronted with evil.

That's what you did at Kvatch. It wasn't the gods that saved us, it was you.

Were you acting for the gods? I don't know. But now it's my turn to act.



I pick the second option again.

Please, my friend. I need your judgement, not your obedience.

I jest gave you my judgment!

I explain myself to you so you understand me. And so you can explain to the Countess.

I'm afraid she may take a bit mor convincing than you.

Tcch! Fine! I'll go tell the Countess you plan to destroy her city.

Good. Have her meet me in the Chapel of Talos for a council of war. That seems a fitting place to make such desperate plans.



I travel to Castle Bruma.



Bitch, you ain't gonna be happy!

Martin plans to let de daedra open a Great Gate so I can swipe de Great Sigil Stone.

A desperate plan indeed. This ... Prince? Emperor? Martin would risk my whole city to gain a Great Sigil Stone?

He needs it to recover de Amulet of Kings.

This is the only way to stop this invasion from Oblivion?

Yep.

I must confess, you are the first person to speak of victory against these daedra.

This war has seemed hopeless to me, but what else was there to do but hold on and wait for a hero to arise to save us?

'Cuz you crackas can't do nothing fo' youselves!

And now it seems there is an heir to the throne after all, hidden at Cloud Ruler Temple ... and perhaps a hero as well?

Well, I don't like to brag ....

Anyway, Martin wants you ta get your fat-ass over to the Chapel, and he ain't interested in gettin' hitched!

You avoid answering my question ...

I already told 'ya, bitch, I don't like ta brag! Is you deaf?!

Very well. Don't think I doubt you. The rulers of Bruma have long had dealings with Cloud Ruler Temple. We know whom they serve.

I thought it was supposed to be a secret hideout! Damn, no wonder de Emperor wuz offed so easy! A retarded kid could outsmart dese fuckin' Blades!

I will meet Martin at the Chapel. When all is ready, I will order my men to stop closing the Gates and prepare for battle.

We then head to the Chapel.







These are just some screenshots of the walk.

We finally arrive at the chapel ...



... but where the hell is Martin?



Yeah, great, sugar-tits, but I need Martin here!

He never arrives, so I reload to a previous save and wait a few hours before entering the chapel.



Here we are! Good!

Now, I speak to Martin (again).



He then reiterates the plan and ends with a sob-story (don't worry; it's more lulzy than sad) about how he played with a daedric magic as a boy and got people killed. I am almost tempted to write it down here, but I really don't want to.

Now, I just have to speak with the Countess.



You just told me that!



Since I do not want to shutdown any more Oblivion Gates, I will just press forward.



Now, we leave the chapel to walk just outside the Bruma city gates.



The peasants line up to cheer their new Emperor.

Good thing they don't know what a dumbass he is!

I heard that!

I wuz only kidding! Yeah right!



Here is more applause!



From the halls of Bruma!



To the shores of Oblivion!





This is not exactly Braveheart here, people. To put it mildly ....

Dat wuz de worst battlefield speech ever!

You said it, Snails!

Anyway, to win this battle, I just have to wait for a minute or so until the Great Gate opens. However, there will be plenty of enemies pouring out in the meantime. On lower difficulty levels, it is not so bad.



Finally, the Great Gate emerges. I run head first into the Gate.



Anyway, this Oblivion realm is a lot like the others, except there is a 15-minute time limit, and you cannot rest. I also don't have time for much combat, which is a good thing because the daedra here can pack a punch even on the easiest difficulty!



Oh snap! The path to the main tower is filled with lava! Whatever shall we do?



I enter the tower to the left, run up the winding staircase, quickly exit to the northern walkway, and run to the tower directly to the north.



You can't see it very well, but there is a gap in the walkway that takes a certain Acrobatics skill to jump across. Putting in obstacles like that during a timed event is fucking annoying! Maybe we should call this Super Snails Brothers?

Anyway, I soon enter the tower. It is a bit shorter than the others.



Here is a picture of me running up the spiraling staircase of the main tower.



The door to the Sigil chamber requires a key, and two daedra carry a copy: the one right outside the main tower, and the one right outside the locked door. Kill whichever one you want.



Here is the Great Sigil Stone! It looks bigger than most.

Duh! It ain't called the Great Sigil Stone for nothing!

Point taken.



Anyway, I grab the stone and watch the enemies dissolve in the usual conflagration.

Damn dat burns!



The siege engine is cut-off from Oblivion. Get it?





We won a great victory! Don't tell me you did anything more than sittin' on dat hilltop brushin' yo' hair!

But we need to act quickly. Camoran will not take long to recognize his danger.

Remember, the portal closes behind you. Anything you need, carry it with you.

I'll have the ritual ready in the Great Hall when you arrive. Farewell.



Oooh!! The siege engine dropped a Sigil Stone! We have actually come out on top for once!

Finally!

However, the victory was not without cost.



Big deal! They wuz just Guard NPCs! They didn't even have names!

They weren't the only ones.



That racist-ass cracka got what he deserved!

By de way, I wonder what he's got on him?



Aw hells yeah! I'm helpin' myself ta dis blade!

There are more, Snails.



Hah! Looks like Mr. House Negro impaled hisself!

LAWL!!

Anyway, that is all for now. I will probably end up doing two more updates. Until next time, arrividerci!

Only two more chapters are left!

"Dai-katana"?

You can finish this! You can do it!

Bump?

Is this still going? or is it dead?

Alright, I am starting work on another update now. It should be posted in a few hours. In the meantime, please bump this to a new page.

new page is a go

You have some mod screwing with your windows, BTW.

It lives...and yet all I want to say is KILL IT WITH FIRE.
