Welcome Now to OBLIVION! An Elder Scrolls Let's Play.

[Kupti Tranamo]

A couple more updates 'till 100!

[Zink]

Argh sorry about the lack of updates guys I have had a lot of things happening also I am a bit lazy please don't kill me

Update 100 will almost definitely not be until Saturday/Sunday anyway, so eh I guess it isn't that bad.

SPEAKING OF UPDATE 100

I am going to be doing things A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY for update 100. As in, I will "break the rules" a little bit. It will probably be really interesting. I am probably going to Livestream it. I will try to get a mic this time so you can all hear my beautiful voice, but I AM NOT GOING TO GUARANTEE ANYTHING.

I'm probably going to do a several update "intermission" sort of thing, but the more I think about that idea the more horrible it sounds, so it may or may not happen.

[Death of Rodents]

I like it but when exactly will this monumental event take place

[Miss Starseed]

[Game Angel]

I might be at work too Zink, if you have any ounce of goodness in you you will record it.

Please?

[Zink]

Hey, remember that time I was waiting outside that one guy's house in Bruma so I could assassinate him and that one guy came up to me out of nowhere and said "THE COUNTESS WISHES TO SEE YOU DORK"?

...Well, I do.

I think maybe I should see what the Countess wanted.



I head to Bruma Castle. After waiting 7 or so hours, the Countess finally shows up.



...You mean-


Oh crap I'm about to be arrested aren't I?

Oh well. I hope you enjoy cleaning dead guards off your floor.




...So you aren't arresting me?



And I'm going to be expected to find this thing, right?



This sounds like something from the Shivering Isles.


...Heh, those were some good times...



...And you want to put it behind a glass display or something instead of giving it to medical researchers or something.

You suck.



Pale Pass?

What's that?



Oh, so-

...Wait a minute...



Oh my god it's a history lesson

NO

NO STOP THIS

STOP THIS AT ONCE

I'M ALLERGIC TO HISTOOOOORRRYYYYYY



YES YES I'LL DO IT JUST STOP BEFORE YOU GIVE ME THE HIVES- wait did you just say "are you game"?

Really?

The Countess just said "Are you game"?

...I'm not even going to say anything.



Oh boy a diary.

I'm sure it will be needlessly specific to the point where it is a marvel you never found this thing yourself.

She also gives me a key.


I guess that's all I need to find this stone that is mad, but first...



I decide to buy a house.

No real reason for it.

I just felt like wasting cheddar.






This is what it looks like after I buy all the furniture.

It is a fairly okay place.

NOW

TO PALE PASS OR WHATEVER



A few dead bears later, I arrive at pale pass.

TIME TO READ A TRANSLATION OF SOME GUYS DIARY



Holy shit this thing is long.

Let me sum it up for you:

"OH HELLO I AM A MESSENGER OR WHATEVER AND I NEED TO FIND A SECRET PASSAGEWAY TO GET TO THE HIDDEN BASE OH NO I AM BEING ATTACKED BY WOLVES GOOD THING I MADE THIS FRIEND RIGHT HERE HMM I THINK I WILL BE NEEDLESSLY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE LANDMARKS I ENCOUNTER OH BOY GUYS I FOUND THE SECRET CAVE OH WAIT IT IS FILLED WITH CREATURES AND THEY JUST PUNCHED THE HEAD OFF OF THAT GUY I JUST MADE FRIENDS WITH AND NOW I AM DYING WOE IS ME TELL MY WIFE I LOVE HER BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HER MYSELF BECAUSE I AM DYING"


I don't like using punctuation is my summaries okay



A few obvious landmarks later, I come across the cave.

...What baffles me is how it took the guy who wrote the diary several days to get here from where I started. It only took me like five minutes.

Inside the cave, I discover that the horrible creatures that killed the guy are...



...rats?

That's it?

Really?

I mean, yeah, I guess it's sort of impressive that the rats managed to punch a guy's head off, but still, rats?



Oh look, a skeleton. This must be the guy who wrote the diary.

Oh look, he has a secret message. I'll just go ahead and relieve him of that...



I'll just be on my wa- wait, OGRES?

...Well, at least it makes more sense that rats...



Orges and bears! A most unholy alliance, that! No wonder those guys got killed!



The cave exits into a valley type place.

Apparently I need to follow the path or something.

The whole place is invested with ogres. You'd think the whatever-army would take better care of their bases.



This might be the ruins where the madstone lies.

It looks like every other ruined fort I've ever seen, so I can't really be sure.



This fort has skeletons.

Oh joy.



Why am I not surprised that this place is haunted?

Why am I not surprised



It doesn't help that for this entire quest something has been randomly silencing me this whole time which is very bad because I like casting spells!



How do skeletons even stay together, anyway?

They don't have muscles or anything. They really should just fall apart.

It doesn't help that this place has traps. I easily avoid most of them.



Well, that dart trap was easily avoi- oh shit guys are you okay

You aren't suppose to stand in the dart trap

That is a very good way to die.

Come on. Stop being unconscious and get out of there like good little Punch Misers...



Wait, Nameless Dark Brotherhood guy, why aren't you getting back up?

Nameless?

NAAAAAAAMELEEEESSSSSSS!

Nooo! We lost one guys! For the first time since Freddie Horsegiant a member of our team has been lost! Oh the horror! Oh the humanity! Oh the-



Wait, he's where that stupid silence spell was coming from that whole time?

THAT

BASTARD

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I HATE MY TEAM SO MUCH



...Oh well... he was still a good teammate, disregarding the silence thing. Especially for a Dark Brotherhood member.

I may not be able to bury him here, but I can at least spread his arms and legs out a bit.

...I'm not sure why I did that.



I have no choice but to leave his body here.

You were a good teammate Nameless.

No... You were a good... friend.



COME ON MEN!

FIGHT THESE UNDEAD HORDES!

LET US NOT LET NAMELESS'S SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN!

THEY MAY HAVE NUMBERS, BUT WE HAVE WILL!

LET'S DO THIS!



...It's quiet here...

...Too quiet...



The ghost of the commender, huh? So, you run this place.

It is because of you that Nameless is dead.




I don't give a shit, bastard.

You may be a ghost. You may be cursed to relieve your final days over and over due to your failure. You may have no idea what is going on, or what just happened. But I don't care.

I'm going to make you feel pain.



Bring it on, you son of a bitch.



FOR NAMELESS!



The ghost commander is soon vanquished. A secret passageway opens up, revealing a strange alter of some sort.



The madstone! There it is!

The Countess better be pretty daisies grateful when I give this to her!



I head back to Bruma Castle, and once again wait seven hours for the Countess's arrival.



Yeah, it better be beautiful. One of my men died in the process of getting that thing.

The reward better be pretty daisies good.




...A ring...

One of my teammates died getting that thing, and you give me a ring!?



It isn't even that valuable either.

God

daisies

[Squigzog]

Eat the ring.

Maybe it is delicious.

[Zink]

Oh FFFFFF I never set a time for that Livestream, did I?

I was planning to do it today at 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time, buuuut I think due to my late announcement that might be a bad time for people. I could postpone it to next weekend, but you guys would be kind of out of luck in the update department until then (not that I update much on weekdays anymore anyway).

So, uh, yeah. As of right now, I am planning to start the Livestream at 6. If anyone has any objections, let me know.

[Miss Starseed]

I'll most likely be missing it, unless my sickness progresses and I decide to stay home. :/ You'll be recording it, right?

[Death of Rodents]

Sounds good, I dont have anything going on then so ill make sure to be on when it happens. Thank you Zink for your amazing timing!
