1095369 Absolutely. I've been going through a lot of IRL issues lately - went through two jobs, moving out of my apartment, been tryin' to keep my life together. That, and this was the chapter from Hell. Updates will definitely be more frequent from here on out!
Ahaha! Sheogorath! I actually planned for a story where Twilight meets him when she reads a book we're all familiar with (Wabbajack). I was planning for Sheo to be old friends with Pinkie actually. Cancelled it because of the lack of ideas though...
Anyway, will Twilight and the rest of the gang meet the Dragonborn? Or is this just some side-story in Skyrim where they occasionally run into scenarios involving him/her, only that they will be a distance away from it? Like in chapter 3?
Off in the distance, the group heard a deafening roar; they looked West, and watched as a bright, swirling light escaped the plumes of smoke surrounding a stone tower.
1096593 Unfortunately for some of my readers, I have no intention of giving the Dovahkiin any major involvement in my story at all. The occasional reference, yes, but he's not gonna swoop in to save the day or anything.
Also, Sheogorath may or may not know some folks in Equestria. >:3
1098290 That's alright. I've always been fan of 'people working in the background' stories where the main character(s) of the story the adventure is happening behind is 'kept out of sight' but still happening, so to speak (e.g LoTR: The Third Age). I can imagine filling in the Dragonborn would just be unnecessary plot filler or a subplot, if you will.
Also, you can totally go for my 'Pinkie and Sheogorath talk to each other on occasions in her sleep/whenever' idea if you hadn't planned something similar already. I also had one where he put the idea of cheese-flavored cupcakes on her mind.
Sweet! This story finally updated! Methinks I'll have a reread of this story to refresh my memory sometime... To my personal regret I feel as though I was too quick and harsh in my initial judgements of this story and am eager to see this continue now that we're getting somewhere.
1111760 No reason to regret expressing your opinion, man. :3 I actually really enjoyed the comment you'd left. The fact that you actually took the time to write it was flattering. And, I'm not gonna reveal anything, but you're gonna love the next chapter.
1098290 So...What's the canon Dovahkiin in this story? Ie: What build/ guilds etc. And will Twilight meet the Greybeards? And will she turn out to be a dragonborn as well?
1234558 "Not giving him any major involvement" is a nice way of me saying I'm only going to be putting him in one or two very incredibly insignificant background bits in the story, as jokes or little tiny cameos.
As for Twilight being a dragonborn: no. That's the only thing about my story that I'm actually going to spoil, is no, she isn't a Dovahkiin.
Liking the story a lot so far. You manage to blend humour into the generally crapsack world that Tamriel is very well, and the dynamic between the three mercs is amusing. I also crack up at Twilight's adorkableness whenever she smells books.
I'm interested to see how the story develops going forward. Twilight has been going from horrified bystander to reluctantly accepting that she may be forced to do unpleasant things. Little bits like her getting a set of armour to protect herself further goes to show that she is able to adapt to her new surroundings. I wonder if you are going to take the story further into a sort of "innocence lost" twist where Twilight has to continually compromise her moral integrity to continue and her desire to return home becomes a whatever-the-cost goal for her. In relation to that, her impending studies at the College could take a rather grim turn if she has to learn certain spells like those involving necromancy, atronach summoning or soul stealing. Oh dear.
The prospect of the group of misfits going to go exploring in old Dwemer ruins seems promising, in part because of the image I have of Twilight's reaction upon finding all that technology to study. For science!
1388224 Yessir. Just been hitting a series of snags in the real world that're keepin' the updates slowed down. I'm almost halfway through chapter seven now, though. Y'all're gonna love it.
Wow, just found this little gem, try and get an update out on this dude, It's way too cool of an idea to let go. Also, Is twilight going to assume the roke the dragonborn normally would in regards to the College's quest line? that would be awesome!
Nicknaming Time!: Your nickname is now D... Deal with it...
Anywho, decided to go ahead and reread the story and see if I can spot any small yet noticeable errors in the story. Just outta curiousity, is RL giving ya a hard time or are ya just being lazy at the moment?
1482619 It's an incredibly unfortunate mixture of the two. Been working a lot and haven't had much time to write, but I have the majority of the next chapter finished, so something will be out pretty soon. I hope. That, and I've been trying to finish reading friend's stories, keeping up with proofreading stuff, and a couple of books I've got to get done reading. x.x Busy busy busy. But whaddya think'a the story so far? :D
1783042 Mixture of the two. Been balancing new jobs and a new relationship and all that nonsense. I've got two-thirds of chapter seven and the first half of chapter eight sitting on my laptop, and I just haven't had the motivation to write. x.x
Holy hell! Update! Yes! Epic! Awesome!
Sheograth! F*ckin' Epic!
Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon?

By Celestia's beard! An update. Sheogorath himself must've intervened!
So AWESOME!
And yeah... the real world sucks...
Just one thing. You keep saying "Savos," isn't it "Savros"? I could have sworn...

A bandit whom, after the events of that chapter, I've named "Crispy the Pirate."

Something like that?
I was expecting the Dovahkiin to show up randomly after the fight and get a free dragon soul.
This was Heavy's face When I saw that this story updated.
