The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Panajev's journal, Entry #02

Day 9: Bleak Flats Cave? First she does not remember she sent him there then she gives me a fireball spell just in case?!? Is she trying to tell me something? Eathor should be there anyway: I bring him back to the Mages Guild and I get my recommendation... simple as that.

Day 10: Not too simple... that inept wizard probably managed to fill the cave with zombies with all his conjuration experiments... I fail to see how that does not classify as Necromancy, but that is the Guild's internal regulation problem...

Day 10: Saved him! Back at the Skingrad's Mages Guild. Ready to leave for Kvatch finally! I do feel stronger and better prepared.

Day 10: I should be in Kvatch by Nightfall at the latest, maybe earlier if I do not waste time exploring the surroundings, but the adventurous side of me wants to fight zombies, goblins, and daedra as well as finding new artifacts!

Day 10: WOW, what is that gate?!?




Day 10: The city is under siege! The dark lords of Oblivion are once again invading our plane of reality... this must be connected with the murder of the Emperor and of all the known heirs to the throne of Tamriel. Martin is hiding inside the city's church. The guards are courageously taking a last stand against the invading demonic forces: I need to get inside that gate and close it shut!

Day 8: Glarthir is crazy indeed! He really thinks everyone is out to get him: he means to have David Surille murdered!

Day 9: He attacked me... Glarthir is now dead: together with the captain of the guards of Skingrad I had no choice but to defend myself... I got a key from him though, does it mean I can use his house as base in Skingrad? What should I do?

Panajev's journal, Entry #01

Day 1: still in the castle's dungeons, following the emperor Uriel Septim who just freed me.

Day 1: the Emperor was murdered by strange assassins, the Blades were unable to protect him! I have been entrusted by the Emperor with an important mission: I ought to find his illegitimate son.

Day 2: finally out of the sewers! The sun is beautiful!

Day 2: I have to reach Chorrol ASAP: Jauffre awaits.

Day 3: Martin, Uriel's son, is in Kvatch and he might be in danger. I have got to reach him, but I cannot afford to make a straight journey through the wilderness: I have to make a stop in Skingrad first and work on my skills. I do not know if I am ready for what lies ahead, but I have given my word to Uriel and to the Nines and I won't take it back.

Day 4: reached Skingrad!



Day 4: met a strange Elf... he might have gotten himself in some sort of trouble. People tell me he is sort of the town's lunatic: crazy, but harmless. He tells me that someone closely watches over every step he makes and wants him silenced because he discovered some important secret. It is kind of believable: if everyone thinks he is crazy, who will believe anything he says? The captain of the guards asks me to report any strange request I could be asked to fulfill.

Day 5-7: I am starting to suspect he might have some mental problems myself: the people he points out as conspirators against him (and on which I investigate) mean absolutely no harm to him. What's next ? Why am I not leaving for Kvatch already ?

Notes from the lands of Cyrodiil

I decided to start a sort of personal diary here. I do know nobody in their right mind reads this blog so what better place to have a secret diary right in the open where everyone could see it ?

Of course, I am not going to really talk about myself: I will be live blogging as an adventurer inside the game Oblivion... in a way that is talking about something I am doing (narrating the adventures of my Olbivion character).

I will be talking, more like blogging twitter style, about adventures in Bethesda's latest masterpiece Oblivion, sometimes adding pictures to my posts, sometimes just posting a brief message. It is intended to be more of an exercise for myself, to self-impose a daily routine, and will have the form of brief notes taken a bit in a hurry by a character inside the game world. Most of the time it will be a daily message (as in game world days not real life days), but it might also become multiple messages per game day.
