... I DO use photobucket. Are you referring to imageshack?Decker wrote:Don't. Photobucket's bandwidth sucks a lot, I don't wanna have to sit and wait 20 seconds between screenshots.The Big Cheese wrote:Use photobucket
(And it's not my connection, since they've been fine since he switched out of photobucket)
Edit: Also, now that I know that I can bulk-upload on tinypic I will probably start using that after this update so I can avoid having to deal with photobucktes memory and bandwith limits.

All I could do is make it upload up to five images at the same time, but I'd still have to choose each one individually.

Okay, it is time for Martin and I to celebrate BEST FRIENDS DAY and it is going to be aw-
Wait, I can't celebrate Best Friends day in my assassin uniform, nor can I do it in clunky armor.

I promptly break into the nearest house and steal some clothes.

Okay, now I am ready! First we are going to-

THE ARENA!
Not to compete, of course. We are going to bet on matches! Because nothing says "BEST FRIENDS" like watching two people fight to the death!

I decide to bet on Yellow for the first match, despite the fact I am a blue team fighter and have personally killed most of the yellow team.

Wow, they even have tables! This is much nicer than I expected! I thought they would have those crappy, uncomfortable theater seats.

Martin and I watch as the match begins. Well, I do, anyway. Martin is kind of off to the back a bit. I'm not sure if he can even see. Maybe he just doesn't like violence, which is odd considering how he charges into battle whenever he so much as smells some sort of wild animal.

Yellow wins! That means I get 100 gold!
I decide to talk to a few of the other people on the balcony.

Don't worry about the carnage, these are generic unnamed NPCs! The most generic kind of them all! Their only purpose is to be expendable and die!

...But I like to blab like old women...

Ten bucks says it was my winning streak that gave him that opinion of the blue team.

...That is so implausible that I am not even going to question it.

For the next match, I decide to bet on blue.

The fight begins!

Dammit, blue lost. There goes my 100 gold. Was I the only competent member of the blue team?

Oh well. At least they have the chest where they keep the gold in plain sight so I can easily steal my 100 gold back!

...That is more than my 100 gold.
AWESOME

I decide to bet on Yellow again, since the blue team have proved themselves to be less than incapable.

Greatsword versus Greatsword? This is going to be gre-
Wait, are these matches always male versus female? That is a terrible idea, for a ton of reasons! At least, it would be, if this was real life. But this is Oblivion we are talking about, where the only difference between men and women is the pronoun you use to refer to them! I don't think they even have different reproductive organs. It would explain the lack of children.

Once again, Yellow wins. Yippee!
However, before Martin and I leave the arena, there is something I want to do. You see, since this is our best friends day, I think I should concentrate more on helping people. Thus I decide to...

... use touch of rage on all the other spectators. Since they love watching battles to the death so much, surely they'd enjoy being in one even more!

THERE IS A FIGHT!
Look at the way Martin gleefully takes part in the carnage! I'm glad he's enjoying himself so much!

I decide to participate in the fight too. I just can't resist the chance to beat people to death with my bare hands!

Looks like team Martin and Charlie is the victor! Huzzuh!

Suddenly, a guard comes bursting in. He does not look pop flyin'.

He seems quite concerned about the dead bodies decorating the balcony.

Oh crap.
Normally, when using touch of rage on people, I am able to kill them without getting into trouble. I'm guessing that, if they start to flee, I am no longer allowed to kill them. Normally I am able to finish people off before they have the chance to start fleeing, but one must have started to flee right before I dealt the finishing blow, resulting in my bounty going up.
Obviously, I resist arrest.

Haha, Martin, from the way you are attacking that guard, it sort of looks like you are aiming at me. That's kind of amusing!

Wait a minute... Hey! You are chasing me and attacking me! I thought we were friends!
I yield to him and tell him to wait, but he immediately starts attacking again anyway!

I go to the waterfront, turn invisible, head to the Garden of Darecloth, wait until midnight, yadda yadda yadda, you know the drill. I am no longer a wanted man.
I head back to the Arena district to deal with a certain traitorous swine.

Hello, best friend, or should I say WORST FRIEND EVER because that is what you actually are! How could you attack me like that! And on Best Friends day, no less! I don't care if you wanted to make it so the guard wouldn't think you were an accomplice, that's no excuse!

Do you think you can get away with this just because you are my sidekick? I remind you that I am an apprentice in conjuration! I could easily replace you with a skeleton...

...or zombie...

...or even a scamp! That's right, a scamp could do your job! So don't think that you're irreplaceable!
ARGH, I'm just so angry! That's it, we're going back to Cheydinhal!

You can just stay here in my house and think about what you've done!
I am REALLY angry now. I need to go kill someone. I'm heading over to the Dark Brotherhood for another mission.

Oh, Dark Brotherhood sanctuary, your dark, depressing hall always make me feel better!

Oh boy, it sounds like there will be tons of violence! I can't wait!

GO ON

What
...Argh, fine, I suppose poisoning someone is still killing them, but I would prefer using violence. Oh well...

Wow, that fort is really far away. I'm gonna have to use fast travel for this one.

The fort is, of course, guarded with mercenaries.

Luckily, it's dark and they die in one sneak attack.

These guys can't see more than a few inches in front of them. See those two dead bodies right next to me? They were walking through this tunnel, and I killed one of them and sent her body flying into the other one. The other one turned and looked at the body and yet somehow didn't see me despite the fact I was right there!
Anyway, the three in this tunnel (you can kind of see the third one's body off in the back of the tunnel. He's an orc.) and the one guarding the entrance were the only mercenaries not counting the guy I am supposed to poison. Looks like I don't have to bother with stealth now.

There's Sicky McIllerson. I could just kill him now, but in order to get the bonus (which is usually worth it), I need to find his medicine cabinet and switch his medicine with poison.

Well, that was easy. I'm not sure who is going to give him the medicine/poison, though, as everyone else in the fort is dead. Oh well, I technically did the job I was supposed to!
I head back to Cheydinhal and enter the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary. One of the other assassin's asks me for a favor.

Sure, why not, as long as I get to kill someone I'm really good with any mission.

GO ON

"Scar-Tail"? How does one get that name? Was he born with a scar on his tail or something?

This really sounds like something that is your problem, but I guess I'll do it when I have time. You'd just better reward me well.
Anyway, I head over to Ocheeva to receive my payment and bonus.

Yeah, although I still have no idea who's going to give him the poison. Seriously, everyone except him is dead!

My bonus is basically a worse version of the robe I found way back at the beginning of my adventure. I must have been really lucky to find that so close to the start like that!
I'm still mad at Martin, though, although the killing has made me feel better. Maybe I should go see if he's sorry...
