  "Take a trip down to Fort Amol. There's a spell tome there that we'll need."

  "Oh, goodie, I can't wait."

  A short trip to the east of Whiterun brought Marcellus to the fortress.

  "Stormcloak banners? Those traitors will get what's coming to them!"

  "Focus on the objective. The tome we're looking for is in a bucket in the prison."

  Battling through half a dozen Stormcloak guards, Marcellus reached the bucket.

  "Bound Bow? You're joking, right?"

  "Problem?"

  "Stendarr strictly forbids the binding of daedra!"

  "Stendarr also thinks that banishing them is a good idea, and I don't see any beginner banish spells. Think of it as better understanding your enemy. Now, the ingenious part of my plan is that we can work on your conjuring and marksmanship at the same time!"

  "Ugh, and what, may I ask, is going to be my target?"
  

  "Why, giants and mammoths of course! A little known fact is that they will never enter a body of water; just go down to Bleakwind Basin and find some."

  "And here I thought you were going to say innocent townsfolk."

  "First you'll need some blessings though; go grab the Thief and Mage stone, and have a quick nap."

  "I thought you were forgetting something last time. I haven't slept or eaten for 2 days you know."

  "What're you talking about? You don't need either of those."

  "Well, it's nice sometimes you know?"

  Marcellus stood in the pool at Bleakwind Basin and unloaded over a hundred arrows into the enemies there.

  "This isn't getting us anywhere."

  "I've got an idea, but we'll have to get around to it later. Time for Conjuration Plan B."

  "Fantastic."

  "Would you kindly enchant a set of Conjuration equipment"

  "Fine..."

  Returning to Jarl Balgruuf's city, Marcellus enchants a set of equipment with Fortify Conjuration.

  "Buy a Soul Trap tome from the wizard."

  "Where're you going with this?"

  "Just do it, and find someone you don't like."

  Purchasing the tome, Marcellus travelled a short distance from Whiterun and found a group of bandits.

  "Now, put on the gear and cast it repeatedly on his corpse!"

  "THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!"

  "Tis a strange world you live in, Marcellus."

  "Indeed it is..."

  Some time later, the voice calls to Marcellus again.

  "Stop!"

  "But I'm not done yet with the soul trapping!"

  "Go back to Whiterun; Farkas has taught you all he knows; but Vilkas has not."

  "Nooooooooo!"
