Is that a picture of Alastor, Golden? Maybe it's the Trickmaster's seal of approval because this build deserves it!

Yes, now to complain some more until it moves up again 

Thanks Relycs. The stances were really fun to switch between or just plain mess around with.

I enjoy a good booze fueled build +1 on this mate :)

Thanks Lissette 

A sword to the chest is one helluva distraction. I imagine.

How's the play through going, Goldie?

Well I still need to check out that Skooma Den I mentioned to you. Other then that, the inclusion of Alchemy seems to be working out. Although I keep going through phases where I'll forget to use potions that are unrelated to Drunken Stance. The main example being the mix that is Aetherial Essence, and since the ingredients for the fortify magicka part are by far the most abundant, I have about 20 of those just sitting in my favourites menu.

I recently picked up some Thalmor gloves, and need to decide if I'll be using those instead of the normal gloves. Hopefully I'll hit level ten during my next session, which should allow me to acquire the rings.

Well, I've hit a snag with using Sleeping Tree Sap. Whenever I use it instead of the normal visual effect, the screen just gets really dark. It's either a bug or the side effect of some mod that I'm slightly too lazy to pinpoint. That problem aside, the Skooma Den is great, the merchant stocks 10 Sleeping Tree Sap at a time, which if her stock resets after the standard two days, should be plenty of Sap.

I'd also forgotten that the Sap only lasts 45 seconds, which I can live with.

I've decided on using the normal gloves as opposed to the Thalmor ones, since they look better with the ragged robes and novice hood.
