Lots happened in Skyrim recently, though at the expense of my Nanowrimo novel....
- Cleared Nightcaller Temple with Erandur; Dawnstar can sleep peacefully now.
- (didn't) retrieve that horn or Jurgen Windcaller, but I did take the note. Looks like I'm heading back to Whiterun....
- Then visited Morthal. Nice little place, but they don't seen to have a blacksmith. Oh well, I did use the grindstone.
- Picked up the spell for "Bound Bow". Takes a lot of MP out to cast it (casting isn't stealthy either) but it does amazing damage, like twice that of an elven bow+arrows.
- Went SE of Morthal through a mountain pass and discovered some ruins. Shalidor's Maze was a real puzzle that took time to figure out, but the surprise battle against that Daedra was worth it. First time I had to mostly run and try to attack indirectly (Lydia finished the thing off at close range), second time I put Oakflesh on me and took him down in fair one-on-one. Reward: A circlet that counts as light head armor. Now I can invest in that all-light-armor perk. Lydia got lost in the maze on the way out. Okay, then, see you back in Whiterun....
- Currently on the quest "Proving Honor". Farkas revealed he's a werewolf, and these Silver Hand guys take quite some work to put down. Biggest trouble is with the guys in heavy armor wielding greatswords, and rooms with groups of 3 or more.
- I really, really want that "Rune Master" perk. Rune spells are fun, but only being able to cast them at close range seriously hampers their effectiveness.
