Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

Sounds good.

I've only got small things in mind. A scene between Ri'vashi and Gallus, a single letter exchange between Tzirret and Ma'tanza, and maybe Newt's naming day, though I can't remember if that's coming up soon or not.
Got pulled away for something briefly, sorry.

Where are we going to be skipping to after these scenes?
Ariel frowned and tilted her head. A few moments of her own arithmetic working passed before she spoke. "That would make you at least one-hundred and ten years old, wouldn't it?" She straightened her head. "I don't mean to be rude, but unless you have been taking greater care of your skin than I could fathom, you must be doing something to preserve your youth. There aren't many ways to do that, but if you are a lycan, that narrows down the options considerably."



Janius gave an understanding grin. "I'll be sure to let her know," he said, knowing full well how few things Meesei used forged metal for.

As for Kaleeth, Janius put a hand on his hip. "You don't, you're trapped for life," he joked. "No, short of transforming, Skuln can show you the right straps and ties. One downside to plate armour is its complexity in doing on and off. Come, I'll help as well."
@Slime Here under Vestec's hider.

They're wolves instead of bears, apparently I forgot. And yeah, they'd be around the north coast of the white ocean for sure.
Happy new years, folks.

So, I was told there's these beast-people around the White Ocean. Are they still there? If so, can someone link me to their information sheet?


Happy new year!

I'm unsure exactly which you're referring to.

If you mean the treeminds (the big fuckoff bear people), they aren't really around outside of Chronos these days unless you spot some packminds. At any rate, they're up north, I believe. Kho made the treeminds, Rtron made the packminds. I'm unsure whether packminds have a creation sheet up.

The Rovaick are all around the Ironheart mountains, but are spread around sparsely as well. Not sure if they're 'beast' people, though.

Maybe the Quara Korala or whatever they were? Those lizard people that live a few steps east of Alefpria?

If you're more specific about who these beast people are, memories might be jogged to help you better.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the Fallout series for some reason. Now things make more sense.
No, I never wrote it down. If it was mentioned, it was around the battle for the stronghold near Corinthe, so...I'll hazard a guess at it being around the page 200ish mark?

And, damn, that's a lot of hours. I'm guessing most of it is ESO at this point?
At this point, Ariel seemed somewhat less uncomfortable. She gave a relaxed smile as she sat up straight. "I'm sure we will have plenty to talk about over many pots of tea. I don't get to consult with many witches these days." Her smile faded into curiosity again. "I just have one more thing before we head off. I'm sure it can wait, but...how long have you been a lycan? It sounds like you contracted it by choice, you do not strike me immediately as someone who would do that."



Janius grinned with a hint of excitement. "That's very nice of you. I certainly wouldn't mind some Dwemer metal equipment." He turned to Kaleeth. "And neither would the rest of us, I think. I know Lorag's going to be grumbling with jealousy until he sets a set like yours, Kaleeth."

As he continued, Janius became tempered again. "But still, if it is matter of time, I don't think every one of us is going to make use of heavy suits of Dwemer plate. Our missions involve plenty of travelling, sometimes in hot weather, and I know most of us would probably rather be consulted about any new equipment. Perhaps we could pass on the offer to the rest of our pack and come by with suggestions?"

Janius breathed in before letting Skuln answer. "Oh, and one more thing. Is there anything we can do to assist you here in the forges? We will unlikely have the time to give you much of a hand with the labour, but if there is anything we can do to thank you for the work you're all putting in...?"
Ariel leant forward over the table to get a better look at the plant. "Red leaves? No, I've never seen such a thing before. I wonder what has caused it?" She reached a hand to feel one of the leaves between her fingers. "And these are found down here in the cavern? If they are anything like regular nirnroot, I don't imagine their secrets would be any easier to reveal." Ariel smiled. "Who knows? Perhaps this might hold what we need for a cure. Or maybe something else in this cavern. It looked like I could spend a lifetime studying all the different reagents."

Pausing, Ariel brought her fingers below her nose and sniffed. "It doesn't seem very different from nirnroot on a cursory look." She dabbed her thumb on her tongue. "The Falmer may have made poison from this as well. I would try something of a more directly magical nature to test it further. Comparing it with regular nirnroot, side by side, might make it easier to spot interesting properties."

Ariel went still and looked up at Marcaille. "Apologies, it is your sample." Ariel lifted her hands. "I shouldn't impose when there is still work to be done on the cure."



Janius extended a curled hand and rapped on Kaleeth's left pauldron. "I don't doubt that. Anyone wearing this on a battlefield would have an edge."

With Kaleeth still getting used to the armour, Janius lifted the helmet from her head to see her face. As the fins on her head unfurled, Janius couldn't help but grin. "It's a bit hard to imagine you under all this metal. But now it seems to suit you all of a sudden."

Janius turned the helmet in his hands to inspect it. Skuln wasn't lying about his skills; even just holding the helmet felt like it was made with practiced deliberation and expertise. "I'm not unfamiliar with heavy armour, though I have only worn iron and steel. This is something else." Janius turned his head over to Skuln. "And you have been making these suits for our soldiers? Your skill is readily apparent. How long does it take you to craft a suit like this?"
Sabine and Ariel exchanged a glance, and then Ariel shook her head. "No. I have been told a little about her, but not met her."

If Ariel acknowledged Marcaille's warning, she didn't express it. The revelation of a cure still had her shocked for a while after the subject changed.

"I was told that Ri'vashi is currently a sort-of military leader for coordinating the various clans," Ariel recounted. "I don't imagine that to be an easy job. She must be an impressive woman."

"She is impressive," Sabine confirmed flatly.

Ariel backtracked to the last topic. "I hope no one was...killed when you were getting used to it," she said. She had almost said that she hoped no one was 'hurt' and thought better of such an inevitability.



It took a blank second for Janius to recognise the clattering shape in bronze-yellow metal striding out with Skuln. He looked the armour up and down with a raised brow. "Wow..." he said, striding around Kaleeth. "That is nothing to be sniffed at." He let out a laugh. "You look ready to take on an army, Kaleeth. This is fine work, Skuln, was it?" Janius looked to the Nord smith to confirm.

Janius turned his attention back to Kaleeth, stepping to a spot where she could see him through her visor. "Though, it looks perhaps a bit heavier than you're used to. How does it feel?"
