I think that returning to a simpler life will be good for Seth. At least while it lasts. I�m looking forward to more.

It was a treat to watch "Dralas" and Pene try to fit in with the group around the campfire.



Me- oh- I um--- kill people for a living. And- my companion is a Seducer. Sleep tight everyone!



I am just sitting back to enjoy Seth- sorry- DRALAS'- explorations.

ROFL !!!

Pene picks up on the slapstick, lol. Loved that section! Absolutely loved Pene's reading of his aura !!! Great write !!!

Mine too! Wow that was the coolest thing...I'm not much into mysticism as such in RL but I do think that people emit energies...I was told once that my 'aura' was a violet-indigo color, I'll just stop there...

This was a wonderful look at Pene and how she sees Seth's world so different from her own. I wonder how she will 'view' the grave. I am also interested to see what she will bring into this 'quest' for Seth...

Great as usual, can't wait to see the next bit....

Enjoyed this part- especially Pene's nonchalant revelation that she can "see" the arcane energies of places and people.

And then there was this:

"

Great addition to the story- as the conflict between Carnius (boo- hiss) and Falco begins.

Love Carnius, my kind of guy. And I liked the part where Treydog said. It was cool.



Haha, loved that.

YES!!...Immortals that can be killed!!...I do like that... ...

Loved this whole chapter, espescially that discussion on auras and energies and all that...

Robert likes that sort of thing...

Many many excellents to you sir!!!...

Nice one!!... ...

*Applauds most heartily!!*...

Freaked out, I bet.


Hehe, love that part right there.

Overall, an interesting read. I like the battle against the skeletons and the Draugr(Who originally are cannibals, not dragon-serving undead).

hehe....very interesting!


ROFL...So typically Seth!

SS: "Ok so now you're a graverobber....I hope you know what you're doing my dear"

This needs a S.G.M.....a big one

Seems Pene may be a pain huh? At times anyway


Like right here, eerie that she sees through the veil.


AS-"Uncle Seth please heed the warning!"

Great one, as ever looking forward to more...

Ooooh, that was niiiiice... ...

Creepy Barrows!!...

Ancient talking swords!!...

Violence!!...

Hot translating wench in pencil skirt and glasses!!!...Possibly with a cravat...You know the sort?...

What?... ...

Excellent chapter...Genuinely loved it...

The sword sounds excellent...Nicely done that man!!...

Loved this...



That's Herne Hercine-esque imagery right there, isn't it?...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

More Seth A pleasure as always.


I loved this line, it really captured the eerie still of the grave.


Do I sense some backstory? She has been on Nirn for a long time after all so presumably has a fair bit (even if most is devouring people)

He can't keep out of trouble, indeed he wouldn't be Seth if he could. I like how the inability to let a mystery rest and no tolerance for bordom drive his story, it makes it fast and interesting.

I see your occult Seducer abilities, and raise you by a nose.



Something for Dralas to look forward to.



No- because they often seem to have their own agendas. And then come the arguments- and the fights- and someone calls the police- and it all ends in tears- and someone getting stuck into a stone or in a chest at the bottom of the ocean�. Sorry- what?



Oops

The fight with the draugr, Pene�s interesting reaction to it� hmm. And then the design on the blade; sorry, Dralas- but I think that will become important.



This was just a brilliant installment. I so enjoy his inner dialogue, as well as Pene's "helpful" presence.

Deleted.

He's Baaaack!!!!... ...

And brilliantly too...

Missed this...

Loved the idea of using child tactics to get rid of the pouting hippie... ...(That's a joke and not meant to offend any hippies around here.... ...Now where's me Grateful Dead LPs?)...

Again, brilliantly done...

Nice to see it back...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds most heartily*...

Reading in bed on the tablet but will comment appropriately tomorrow. I AM OVERJOYED, you are back and the new position is what you wanted.

Loved it. Falco's soluton is great and made me chuckle. Well written for the humour factor too, Pene at the end was funny as ever.

Great to see this continued.

Ok, finally....RL is a bit stinky of late. It was great to have the infusion of humor from Seth and Pene, much needed.

Yes, the comparison to Team A and A was.....perfect.

I am glad that Seth got to have a moment that distracted him from his recent emotional overload.

Thanks to the powers that be you found a less stressful and time demanding position, congrats on that.

More Seth please, and Pene....and memories

Choking on laughter. Not saying ANYTHING. Nope.



Why is it I have a feeling I know who was being �given the treatment?�

And I simply loved Falco�s solution.

It is wonderful to have you back- along with Seth/Dralas, Pene, and the whole crew. And I hope our wandering assassin will treasure his moments of laughter.

I see this has been updated, realised I missed another part and so got to read two new ones in one sitting. I am very happy right now.

All in all, another few good updates; talking swords, the undead, darkly humourous lines from Pene and Falco dealing with angry Skaal were all great reads. Not to mention it was rather interesting to see how hard it can be for Seth to shake old habits as well. That's going to have some repercussions, I think...

Ahhh this is GOOD! I liked Falco's way of encounter Hroldar! made me laugh, i could see it before me! And Pene! She must be stunned about the interactions between humans! Oh yes Seth/Dralas....what will be of you? I've said it many times before, but Blackie you DO have a way with words....impressive

Deleted.

Excellent stuff!!...

The pictures were excellent!!... ...

Wonder what happened there...Methinks a plot is afoot!!...

Loving the colony btw...Lovely idea...Could do with moving there meself!... ...

Nice one!!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

Lovely pics as usual and some nice details. Do I see some sort of side plot developing with Veresa Alver? You managed to build her flawlessly into the section and lay out history and some details then move on before I'd really noticed, great bit of writing.

Nice change of pace too, from the frantic disappearance on the mainland to a sleepy time in a growing colony with nothing to dramatic happening (yet...). I suspect that might change soon though.

All of this was wonderful but the last was the best...seeing Seth in his element, weapons in hand.

I especially enjoyed this update, and I can�t really put my finger on why. Perhaps it�s seeing Seth fitting in as a regular guy, if only briefly. It reminded me of when he was building his manor.

I love the pictures!

Deleted.

I just love a good Dralas...Seth, fight. Seems to me that is where he is the most comfortable. But nice touch with Apronia, he is a softy....sometimes

Great stuff, more please...

Oooh, be this romance for young Seth?... ...

Excellent stuff as always...His removal of the Dragur's was very cool...Loved it!...

Loving the East Empire Company...That yours or Bethesda?...Just checking... ...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

Deleted.

I really don't like Carnius...careful of that one Seth...you might want to practice some of your previously acquired skills on him just to make sure you still got it.

Is Pene a bit touched by the green-eyed monster? Maybe she is becoming more human, emotionally anyway, but if I were Apronia I wouldn't test her.

Good stuff again, nice to wake up to.

Fantastic chapter, as ever...

Love it!!...

Loved the way Seth got everyone mobilised to bury the crew...And the idea that the Captain's journal read like a swashbuckler... ...

Loving this story so much...The Colonial feel is so well done...Now...There's a surprise... ...

Brilliant stuff...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*...

Deleted.

*Does dance...Possibly disco-esque...Behold my glitter balls!!*...

Oh yeah...I was right....Oh yeah!!.... ...

Aaaamywho...

Excellent chapter right there that was...

Loving the sound of the colony...Oh, did I say that before?...

Would love to see it...Hell, would love to live there... ...

Quite like the sound of the Pine tea as well...*Nods*...

Brilliant stuff matey!...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds most heartily*...

Surely the glitter is uncomfortable McB...never mind

Hey BH, I agree with Badgere, I did really like this one. Pene just gets more and more interesting but I also liked the way Seth figured out that Apronia wasn't a cook, too cool and smooth as an assassin-hehe. I think he didn't mind getting sucked in, probably realized it just didn't let us hear that thought....

Post machine? Hhmm, is this a glimpse?

Surely that would...why would...it would itch...it...aaaargh!



Right, McBadgere's glitter balls to one side, I enjoyed this chapter a lot; the conversation about Pene between Apronia and Sethyas, sorry, Dralas, was particularly enjoyable, as well as the cooking-based ribbing. Spiffing stuff, old bean!

Wow this has expanded suddenly. Great stuff as ever and varied. The action with the draugr, then meeting Apronia and Pene's reaction. You're managing the interactions brilliantly, Pene is becoming more human in many ways but still has an alien quality to her. She seems to be jealous of Apronia too, this is quite the tangled romance brewing...

Look forward to more!

Deleted.

Ohhh Post machining again are you? Well the first I will apologize for not being around lately ....but now i've finally caught up with this one.

Now Blackie....YOU figure out which way! hehe You know EXACTLY what I mean...

these FIVE latest installments have taken Seth to the decision point which will determine his futire doings. The journey has not been very easy yet he has gone through it with a sort of elegance...

First one: Great pics! Nice descriptions of the development of the colony...i liked the way you made the shipmaster a real person, I always like when charachters in-game are getting specific personalities... And so he had to investigate the shipwreck!....

Second one: Seth in action again! yay....as usual he showed his skill and I'm not surprised at all..Leading on to Apronia..hmmm yes she's one of a kind. I got some funny feelings about her collapsing into Seths arms....made me wonder a bit but not for long...in the...

Third one ..it was all cleared up..or not! Apronia did what every woman in her situation would have done...wrapped herself onto Seth!! . Then salvaging the cargo...pickaxes oh yes they're valuable so...that task was very well described, taking men with him and also proper tools! Liked that very much. So finally carnius got his papers, he didn't show much gratitude though! Nope I don't like Carnius!

Fourth one: So she can't cook, Lady Apronia!? Haha that was very amusing..since we all know SETH can! Now we spot some tension between Pene and Apronia...just a little bit but still. Then we also come to know more about Pene's personality and that is very interesting! You created a very interesting person (or whatever) in Pene! I like he opinions and sayings. She constantly ask seth what they're doing in sostheim..and seth never give her a straight answer.....I wonder!!

Fifth and final one: Now things get ..I don't know...intense maybe. I suspected Apronia would be like that...no problems, she has her doings ...but somehow she thought HE made a go at her....In my opinion SHE made it at him! And I wasn't sure he'd fall for it but he obviously did...poor guy. i can understand him actually I can....but


makes one wonder...or not

Anyway chapter is ended and we have yet to find out which way Sethyas/Dralas will take....with falco or with Carnius. I think I know the answer....but you can never be sure.

Sorry this was a long post but I just had to comment on all parts I missed!

But that type of arrangement breeds drama like nothing else. I didn't see this exact direction occuring but I'm sure it will get complex. Seth is a romantic at heart I think, for all his coldness and I wonder how such an arrangment will sit, especially if he thought he would stay the night. Apronia is trouble though, there's history there, and she's sharp. She got with him, as Minque noted, with him thinking he'd got her in many ways and is playing him. But he sort of knows this and she might end up coming off worse.

I'm very interested to see how this side plot runs. I also wonder which side of the Falco/Carnius line Apronia stands on, and if her motives may go beyond satisfying a need.

Dude...Where else would you put disco balls?... ...Right! that's it...*Removes Night Fever record with a scratch*...If you're not going to play properly, I'll take my balls elsewhere...

Aaamywho...

Excellent chapter...Much fun...See what you meant about the romance... ...

But yeah, I'm guessing the emotional turmoil angle with Pene will be a new wrinkle in the story...Or not...We shall see... ...

Love it...

Brilliant stuff...

Nice one!!...

*Applauds heartily*... ...

And Olen addressed every question that cruised through my mind, the biggest being which side of the fence is Apronia on because I feel reasonably certain which side of the fence Dralas will fall/land. I do expect him to investigate exactly 'why' Carnius is less than likeable....in his typical fashion.

The situation with Apronia is a bit of a quandary. I'm not so sure that the 'needs' she inferred are the only ones she intends to have met. I don't trust that woman for some reason. HHmmm.

Good one.
