    A rather embarrassing thing happened the other day when I started playing E.S.O.. I thought I would share it with you all.

     

    I had just left a town and headed off to slay some ghosts. Somehowl, during the fight, I managed to ‘offend’ a guard by shooting him in the knee. Well, it was of no surprise to see my notoriety shoot up like an erupting volcano. It did start to drop down a bit, making me feel a bit more relaxed though, knowing I wouldn’t be killed on site.

     

    I had only been prowling about for a very short while and didn’t know my way around so very soon after, Edana… Yes, THAT Edana, the queen of T.V. and G.F. came along to show me a few places of interest in said town... We had hardly moved 20 feet when I was pulled off my wolf mount by a guard and forced to pay a bounty…

    All the while under the watchful owlish eyes of Edana and G.F.

     

    Now I truly know howl Sotek and Aela feel when Kodlak is glaring at them.

     

     

    This is my funny story, now tell everyone about yours.

     

    This is your opportunity to tell us any event which made you laugh, chuckle or even howl out loud. Any story from the Elder Scrolls games or one of the Fallout series is acceptable. New members and those who never participated in T.S.C. events are more than welcome. We’ve all stepped in these worlds and there must be thousands of comical events which have happened. It doesn’t have to be long, just a few sentences or even a poem or rhyme.

     

    It’s not important howl you share your experience, what’s important is that you join the pack around the fire and tell us about them.

     

    Sotek, Werewolf of T.V.

    Forgive me for this likely shoddy work, this is my first poem. It goes over an experience (of roughly equal length) I had in my early days of ESO.

     

    T'was a day in Davon's Watch, when a voice rang out among the crowd.

    "10,000 gold to anyone who can kill a guard!" They exclaimed.

    Many shied away, but I accepted the challenge and stood proud.

    Laughs and jeers rang out. "You'll get slaughtered" they claimed

    "It's just a guard, it'll be a cinch!

    It'd be easy, I squealed with delight.

    "A sneak attack will make them my bitch!"

    T'was me to be slain, that night.

    Sums it up brilliantly Ebonslayer. Did you get a shock as to howl tough the guard was? I remember when I first played the Bloodmoon expansion. Wiping through Morrowind content like a breeze. First thing I see in Solstheim were a small group of bandits…. Easy prey I thought…….

    Died in seconds..

    That’s a hilarious story Sotek. When I played Bloodmoon, which is my all time favorite dlc because of lord Hircine, I went to Fort Frostmoth, got the quest from Caius Carius (I think that’s his name), who sent me to the skaal village where I got mauled by a werewolf. The wolves were higher levels than me, I guess I was an early snack for the wolves. Lol.

    "Shock". That's one word for it. I was thinking along the lines of "why are we the ones doing quests, fighting the war, and saving the world?"

    Something similar happened to me. Turns out they weren't higher level (actually, I think I was higher level because I had already shoved the Heart up Dagoth Ur's ass), but I had an MCP tweak on that gives you and NPCs (including werewolves) Strength bonuses for H2H. These fuckers have well over 150 Strength and werewolf bonuses, so my Indoril Armor did jack shit against them. I just turned off the tweak and everything was good.

    That reminds me of when I tried modding the Storm Atronach spell in Morrowind. Faces a mage who summoned five of them at once...... Werewolves have no right to play with magic. Lesson learned......

    Hey Sotek! It's nice to see you again :) Also great to see you're getting stuck right into ESO! Any hopes for the year ahead and what you want to see and experience in Skyrim? We should get more info tomorrow night. I haven't got anything particularly entertaining to share, although there was that time when Goldie and I did Vet Scalecaller and it took four hours to complete. You know when a joke goes on for so long it stops being funny but when it goes on longer it becomes funny again? The experience was like that. More recently, during the Dragonrise event and Kill Dragons Save Cats campaign, I was hunting the dov in Southern Elsweyr. You know sometimes you become the unofficial leader and a group start following you? Like, "let's follow that guy. He looks like he knows where he's going" sort of thing. So I find I've got a small group who decided I was that guy. Trouble was, I didn't know the best route to to the next hunting ground. So I decided as the crow flies would be the best option. Unfortunately as the crow flies led me right over a cliff to a bone-crushing landing. Seeing five or six others follow me down to death was embarrassing and yet quite funny. Still, we respawned at a wayshrine close to the dragon, so I could save face and say "I meant to do that. Honest."

    Lol Sotek :D Haha Meli an invisible bridge is a new one to me. Was it a glitch? Or Alessia Bridge in Cyrodiil after being destroyed?
