Tale Of A Wanderer
A/N: Hey guys! Now before we get to the chapter there are a couple of comments I would like to address, nothing bad mind you just suggestions from you guys.
A/N #2: Also this chapter took forever to remake (due to my friend who actually likes this) I decided to just delete the old chapter and remake it from the ground up, also changing a couple of features to make this more interesting, now onto the comments!
Holosagewolf32: Maybe have him use the Skyforge to make damascus steel?
Me: I contemplated on that for a long time then I had a better idea you will see later on in the next couple of chapters. Hell you may see some of that in this one, so keep reading buddy.
Wstiglet: So I can already tell based on the size of things that you will be changing and adding things to Skyrim, which is great. My Main suggestion is to take some time to come up with some homebrew spells. Since he is going to be mainly a warrior but because he is a gamer he can't not have magic, maybe specialize in alteration and healing. With alteration you can make the oakflesh and such spells increase all physical stats instead of just defense, so he can have a magical boost and as a blacksmith he will definitely be enchanting. Maybe find a way to make some waystones for fast travel, or just portals. And might I suggest after he gets a mage class to get a fusion class of paladin for one or more of the divines, like arkay and akatosh.
Me: Holy crap that's a lot to get through, so first for the homebrew spells I have that covered. Second for the altercation and the restoration of schools of magic? Good concept, truly it is but that probably won't come till way later. Third would be the enchanting, that would be great yes but why stop there? You'll see soon. Forth is the Waystones; the answer for that may be in this chapter or the next. Fifth and finally is the fusion class, I have something bigger planned, trust me on that, friend.
Ptwilson: His name is Andre, and he is 7'5, if he gets nicknamed the giant my life will be complete X'D, love the story.
Me: Well he was part of the inspiration, him and Shao Khan were massive inspirations in my life, more so Andre than Shao as i'm named after Andre. As for the nickname? Why spoil the surprise.
Bimboom: When did he take damage?
Me: Near the end of chapter two, before he left the cave. Funny story when I was writing it I looked at the quest rewards for the quest and decided to roll a D20 to see if he wouldn't take damage, I got 1 which is just depressing.
Wondawae: Welp at least now he knows that he should raise his luck stat XD
Me: Yup!
Anyway! Hope a very good new year, I know I will!
Warning: There are going to be Mature theme's in this chapter.
Ch. 3: Of Embershard Mines and Riverwood Squabbles Part 1

As Alduin flew past us towards Whiterun the thought going through my head was 'Son of a bitch!'. "There it goes, looks like it's gone for good for now we should get out of here though, this place will be swarming with Imperials soon enough." said Ralof staring at Alduin as he flew away towards Whiterun.
"Yeah , I would rather not be here for long either" was the dragonborn who replied back. By the gods this is going to be annoying if all they do is talk when we could be doing something productive right now, like forging a steel blade. I mean no offense to iron weapon lovers but steel is just so much better, hell my axe has chips and cracks in it from the force of my swings.
'Hey system, I have a question. Why was Blacksmith not my first class'
Well User, it's simple, the blacksmith class is a sub-class, it can only be unlocked through a skill book which you can buy at any trader in the world.
'I see, thank you system'
Anytime User! Though would you like the loot off the Imperials you killed back there?
I stared at the message for a moment before I facepalmed myself, 'I'm an idiot, 'sigh' Yes please.'
Here you go!

I click 'yes' .
18,450 Exp gained
Skill Book: Healing Hands added to inventory
Skill Book: Quake added inventory
User, just to let you know since I 'forgot' to mention this earlier but Quest reward EXP only goes towards you Lvl, nothing else.
I call bullshit, but I really can't complain as it's a lot of Exp. Immediately I go to my stats to allocate my points.
Andre's Stats: Lvl: 7 (11,656/12,000) [Title: None] [Race: Nord/?]
Class: Berserker: Lvl: 34 (3,441/3,500) Gold Septims: 473

Vitality: 215
Endurance: 130
Strength: 154
Dexterity: 31
Intelligence: 20
Wisdom: 25
Charisma: 45
Luck: 20
The stats I chose were my Dexterity, Charisma and Luck stats, Dexterity to increase my speed and flexibility, Charisma to get people to help me more often than not and finally Luck for better loot chances and just overall good luck. I'm snapped out of my pondering by the nord lass from before "Hey, you coming with us back to Windhelm?" she was staring at me when she asked this. Something occurred to me then, do I want to join the war? My answer immediately came to me as a no, no I don't for that would mean taking orders from someone I don't respect.
Now no offense to Ulfric, he's probably a good Jarl but the man is a cheat, when he fought High king Torygg he had to use the 'thu'um' to win. Now if nord culture is anything like the Vikings of old then all forms of Magic/Poison were banned from the bout so it could be an even fight. But what did he do? He used the 'thu'um', a magic revolving around the voice, showing he didn't have any honor as a Nord or a warrior. Thinking about it makes my blood boil, but that could be my class talking.
"No' I grunt out, she looks at me in shock for a moment before asking why, so I decided to ask questions to get the point of why and plant seeds of doubt in the Stormcloaks "I do not serve a man who has no honor" as soon as I said that I had all the Stormcloaks attention.
The Nord who wanted to stay behind and wait for Ulfric bristles at my comment "you dare accuse Ulfric of having no honor!? Who are you to judge him? Huh!" he soon gets in my face but really he's only coming up to my chest. I give a sigh before replying "I dare when the man couldn't fight High king Torygg like a man." My comment seemed to smack him in his face as he stepped back in shock, while most of them stare at me in shock, before they can recover I press on the advantage. "You see, Ulfric did win his 'bout' with Torygg but he used the 'Thu'um' which is magic and if they fought using the old ways then that meant Magic would be banned from the bout as well as poison." finishing my statement I stare down at them in pity before turning to the nord woman "Also, I do not serve."
Turning back to the priestess I nod to her before walking past the Stormcloaks. I continue on as the priestess catches up to me, she seems to hesitate for a moment before asking "Is it alright to antagonize them like that? They could have become violent and attacked us both." I stop momentarily before continuing on the path.
"They would try, but they would have died all the same and be judged in Sovngarde" I replied back, she stares at me for a moment as we continue on the path in silence for a couple of hours. Curious I ask her "how far is the nearest town?" we stop temporarily so she can think "the closest town is Riverwood by two days, we should be near the Guardian stones actually" she says and I nod. The Guardian stones huh, i'll have to grab the warrior stone when we get there, we soon reach a fork in the road with a post with arrows bolted in it pointing in multiple directions.
The left path led to Falkreath while the right path led to Riverwood, we took the right path and found ourselves at a hilltop overlooking the Guardian stones. Heading down there we find three just like in the game, only they look a lot more majestic as they look like actual 'statues' not 'stones'.
The Warrior Stones Boon:
- Warrior Classes and Skills level up 20% faster
The Warrior Stones Curse:
- All other main classes level up 20% slower
The Thief Stones Boon:
- Thief Classes level up 20% faster
The Thief Stones Curse:
- All other main classes level up 20% slower
The Mage Stones Boon:
- Mage Classes level up 20% faster
The Mage Stones Curse:
- All other main classes level up 20% slower
Staring at the Guardian stones i'm stuck with a decision on what path I want to take, the Warrior stone would help level my warrior class quickly but what after? Would I pick another class and if so would I have to make the trek back here just to change 'stones'? Shaking my head I dismiss these thoughts and make my decision.
Would you like to take the Blessing: The Warrior?
[Yes/No?]
I mentally clicked 'yes' and I felt strong, stronger than usual. It was like a fog lifted over my eyes. My companion seemed to sense this as she chuckled "First time ever receiving a blessing before? Don't worry the feeling will disappear soon" before she looks at me completely seriously "But don't let that go to your head, for it would get you killed." Staring at her as she began to continue on the path I began to sense there is a story to that.
A couple of hours onto the path and we come to another path, this one leading up a hill. "That leads to Embershard mine, it's currently overrun by bandits, mostly because Falkreath's Jarl doesn't want to clear it up." She says with a sneer on her face.
"Then let's go pay them a visit" she looks at me, I continue "Suns going down soon and I'll bet that's when the wolves and other beasties come out to play. Way I see it, we clear out the mine, we get shelter for the night and don't have to worry about any midnight surprises."
She stares at me for a moment before sighing "You're like my fool of a husband, well before he perished." She looks troubled briefly. "You see, my husband was a good man but he had one major vice." she glares up the hill to the mine "He was led by greed to have more than needed, his favorite thing to do if it was not drinking it was bounty hunting. And the bandits here are the ones that he was last seen hunting.
Quest Acquired: Clear Out Embershard Mine
- Clear out all the Bandits
- Find out what happened to the Priestess's husband
- Bonus Objective 1: ?
- Bonus Objective 2: ?
- Bonus Objective 3: ?
I cup my chin in thought 'The quest I just got seems easy enough, although.' glancing at the priestess 'I'll have to have her stay back so she doesn't get killed' with that in mind I turn to her "Let me take point, you stay back for a couple minutes then follow alright?"
Priestess Pov:
This man traveling with me is a strange one, first the Stormcloak who tried to kill him near the keep at Helgen, then the Imperial Captain and her subordinate, then the confrontation with the Stormcloaks about Ulfric after we got out of that cave. Now this, he was a mystery I can't figure out at the moment, by the gods I don't even know his name yet. I watch as he climbs up the hill, he stops for a moment before brandishing his axe and charging with a bellowing war cry, there was no sound of combat for a moment before a meaty 'thud' was heard. I wait for a moment more before climbing up the pathways after him, as I reach the top my eyes widen as I see the destruction before me. The entrance to the mine was knocked off its hinges as if it was ripped off, there was a body of a bandit with his head split like a melon. With a bit of hesitance I venture into the mine and come across multiple bodies strewn about all with massive wounds, sounds of battle can be heard deeper within.
Traversing the downed bridge I came across what could have been a barricade, 'could' being the word here as it was torn in two with a very clean cut. Walking past a couple more corpses I come to an interesting sight of my companion holding two people up by their neck over a bridge, if the fall doesn't kill them then he probably would after. As I approached his eyes locked onto mine for a moment, the message was clear, stay back and so I did. "I heard you all had a bounty hunter come through here, I would like to know where he is." He asks and I freeze, he's asking about my husband? but why would he!? Because I told him how he'd died?! The one in his left hand tried talking so I returned to watching as he relaxed his grip.
"The bounty hunter? Oh you mean Jorn, 'laughing he tries to turn to the man held in the giant's right hand' you hear that Jorn! He's looking for yo-GHATAK!" His speech was cut off when the giant closed his grip and crushed his neck, throwing his body off the bridge, his body crashing into the cavern wall causing a 'SPLAT!' sound before falling into the water. My companion turned his sights onto me and gestured for me to approach as he talked to the 'bandit' in his hand.
Andre's Pov: A Few Minutes Ago
When I reached the top of the hill I casted 'Observe' and found disappointment.
Bandit Lookout: Lvl: 5
With a 'War Cry' I charge and slash at him with my axe, killing him instantly before grabbing the door behind the corpse and ripping it off the hinges and chucking it to the side. I traversed the inside of the mine when I came across five bandits instead of the two in the game.
Bandit Highwayman: Lvl: 10
Bandit: Lvl: 9
Bandit: Lvl: 6
Bandit Cutpurse: Lvl: 12
Bandit Archer: Lvl: 12
It didn't matter in the end though, first I got rid of their Archer with a simple axe throw, hitting him in the skull. For the two bandits I re-equipped my Iron Greatsword and beheaded them both with a simple swing. The Cutpurse and the Highwayman? They died due to them both killing themselves through 'friendly fire'. The Cutpurse ran to the archers corpse and grabbed his bow and arrows, meanwhile the Highwayman brandished his Iron Greathammer and charged. While we were fighting the Cutpurse tried to fire arrows at me only for me to put the Highwayman in the way of the shot, causing him to get struck in the back of the head causing me to grab his Greathammer and throw it at him just like I did with the archer causing his chest to cave in. Walking over to the Cutpurses body I found the lever for the drawbridge, kicking it caused the bridge to fall letting me pass over.
Upon arriving across the drawbridge I find a hastily made barricade and three bandits behind it.
Bandit: Lvl:8
Bandit Archer: Lvl: 10
Bandit Berserker: Lvl: 16
A simple 'Cleave' deals with the barricade and the Archer, a swing flings the Berserker flying back into a wall, dazed. The bandit? He tried to run past me but I just grabbed him by the neck and snapped it like a toothpick, walking over to the dazed berserker I thrust my sword into his chest and lift, picking him up into the air and throw him head first into the metal gates guarding the treasury. His body hit the gate with a lot of force but the gate didn't give up so I walked over and then I spartan kicked where the berserker's head was, over the handle. The berserker's head then imploded as well as the door breaking, swinging inwards. Walking into the treasury I find a large chest, which I ignore for now as I spied a journal on the table beside the chest. Grabbing the journal and reading it, I soon become enraged by what was written within.
- Day 15, Sun's Height Loredas:
Damned wife kept asking for me to stop doing what I loved today, and got into a major argument with her over it. But she just doesn't get it, no one does, I tried for years to be the man she loves but I just can't anymore, I don't want to retire like she wants me to so I came up with a plan. I recently heard word there were bandits occupying the Embershard mine. I could go join up with them, prove my worth and maybe become the leader, get a bigger cut that way. It'll be easy to convince her that this is the 'last' job, hopefully she doesn't try to find me and moves on.
- Day 26, Sun's Height Fredas:
Upon joining I met a female bandit, our 'lookout' she was a hell of a woman, she was a lot like me so we hit it off greatly! Many a night we would spend together just to cut the edge off. Recently she confirmed she was pregnant with my child, I told her we can't keep it as we are bandits. She saw my point and took some of that New Moon tea to get rid of it, and then we were back to our usual ways again.
- Jorn.
After reading this I take a deep breath before exhaling, as a Berserker my rage can control me even with the Gamer's Mind active, if I let it I could become an uncontrollable monster. With that in mind I decided to let my 'Monster' out and the rest as they say is history.
Before taking a step out of the treasury room I grab the journal and put it in my inventory, upon entering the final room there were a total of eight bandits in the large room.
Bandit Berserker: Lvl: 14
Bandit: Lvl: 10
Bandit Archer: Lvl:11
Bandit Archer: Lvl:11
Bandit Marauder: Lvl: 18
Bandit Cutpurse: Lvl: 16
Bandit Chief: Lvl: 20
What made me smile was the last one, standing right besides the bandit chief, Jorn.
Jorn: Lvl: 20 Title: Greedy Bastard
Thoughts: Feels a pit of dread looking at you.
As the chief goes to talk I interrupt him by swinging my greatsword at the closest bandit, which happened to be the cutpurse, cutting him in half. Moving on 'Bloodlust' soon activates due to the archers firing arrows at me followed by 'Indomitable' as my next victim happened to be the berserker, who got split down the middle and then the marauder who got beheaded. Getting tired of the archers, I grab both the marauders' axes and throw them at the archers, striking one in the chest near the heart while the other one gets lodged into his neck.
The bandit chief met me up the ramp trying to rush me only to find out what it felt like to be disarmed, literally! I smashed my greatsword into his shield arm and shoulder checked him to open up his guard before swinging at his sword arm followed by his shield arm, then I silenced him by thrusting my sword into his neck. The last two were Jorn and a Bandit who upon approaching slowly backed away, before Jorn pushed the bandit into me before trying to run for it. I wasn't having it so I grabbed him by his neck with my right hand, picking him up and throwing him into a stone pillar near the bridge.
Walking over to him I grab him by his neck and lift him up before grabbing the bandit who tried sneaking away by his neck with my left hand, lifting the bandit up by his neck and dangling them over the bridge. I notice the Priestess walking over. I locked eyes with her for a moment and she seemed to get the message I tried to convey. I stare at the two in my grip before I ask them "I heard you all had a bounty hunter come through here, I would like to know where he is." I gave a bone chilling smile as I said this.
"The bounty hunter? Oh you mean Jorn, 'laughing he tries to turn to the man held in the giant's right hand' you hear that Jorn! He's looking for yo-GHATAK!" His speech was cut off when I closed my grip and snapped his neck, as I tossed him away like trash I continued to stare at Jorn.
"Well then, Hello Jorn, there is someone who would like to meet you." His face turned an interesting shade of pale at the mention of 'someone', he began to struggle, flailing his arms and legs trying to do something, anything to get out of my grip to flee from here.
Third Person Pov:
"Jorn?" whispered the Priestess in shock, staring at her supposed to dead husband, slowly shock turned to anger, as she stomped over towards the two.
"Ah shit, Hey Anya! ``Laugh nervously' ummm what are you doing here?" Jorn stammers out trying harder to get out of Andre's grip, but to no avail he doesn't budge. "Anya, honey think you can try and get your friend here to let me go?" he looks at her with a hopeful expression, which slowly died when he saw the anger on his former wife's face
'Smack!' his head turned from the force of Anya's slap "You good for nothing bastard! You were here all this time when I was worrying about you!" she really was picking up steam now that Andre was looking at her, before a very twisted idea came to mind on how to deal with this worm in his grasp.
Pulling Jorn's journal out of my inventory while they were distracted I grunt getting her attention "Excuse Anya, but I believe you should read this, it's his 'points at a pale faced Jorn' journal" Anya slowly takes the journal from Andre before slowly reading it becoming more incensed by each word she read.
Finally she closed it and shrieked "You had an affair with some bandit whore?!" she was now glaring bloody murder at the poor bastard. With Andre's grip tightening around Jorn's neck he couldn't reply back so Andre asks "What do you want to do with him Anya? If you don't have any ideas I may have one to get back at him" she looks at him for a moment before she gets at what he's implying.
She blushes at that and turns away, seeing this Andre continues "He betrayed your trust and your vows on your marriage, do you really want him to get away with that with him just dying or do you want to make him suffer" she looks back at me, a blush still on her face before a thoughtful look took its place.
"What do you mean?" she questioned staring at me, before turning her eyes to glare at the now enraged Jorn as his increased struggles were just him beating on Andre's arm.
Andre chuckles out "A friend of mine did something similar to this 'shakes Jorn' worm, but he loved his wife dearly. The problem was his wife had a bit of a mean streak and knew how to get the most out of her grudges." They were both listening to his tale wondering where this is going. "So one day she said to him that she would forgive him if she was allowed to sleep with a man for a single night only. At first he was enraged but as time passed he thought about it and reluctantly agreed for it to happen. Once he agreed she got up and went over to my house and we talked for a long while about the subject until she told me she wanted me to be the one to bed her."
At this he looked away slightly embarrassed before coughing into his left fist " Well, the problem was she needed my wife's, may she rest in peace, permission which she somehow got her to agree, still trying to figure that out honestly" he scratched his chin in thought. "The point I'm trying to make Anya" staring at her now as he switches Jorn to his left hand, and reaches around Anya with his right bringing her in close and pressing her up against him, causing her to blush as his right hand begins to gently caress her rear.
Andre's Pov: Warning Lemon Ahead
"To get back at a cheat you have to humiliate them first to do the most damage" with that said Andre releases Anya and knocks out Jorn before dragging him over to a stone pillar and tying him up with some rope he found. Upon doing so he turns back to Anya and says "Well what do you say Anya, want to hurt him in the worst way possible, his pride?"
She hesitates for a moment before nodding and walking forward "If it means to hurt him sure" before she takes on an impish expression "or were you really hoping to just get in my pants?" she finishes grinning up to me.
I let out a bellowing laugh "Hahahah! True you are a beautiful woman but let me tell you something Anya" I wrap my arms around her resting my hands on her supple rear massaging them through her robes as she moans "I'm no wet behind the ears virgin" with my piece said I lean down and kiss her roughly, lifting her up of the ground before walking over to a table and setting her down on it. Her hands were not idle as one of her hands gently caressed my chest feeling my muscles while the other one trailed downwards towards my crotch. Our lips parted for air with a line of saliva connecting us, one of my hands stopped caressing Anya's rear and began undoing her robes so that I might access her breasts. Stopping for a moment, much to her disappointment I began to unclothe myself, the roughskin tunic was easy to get rid of by just grabbing it and ripping it off, showing off my proud muscles, the pants just undoing the rope belt caused them to pool at my feet leaving me bare. Anya was not idle as she stripped out of her robe and underwear giving me a view of her 'assets'. Her breasts were the first thing to come to my attention when I took a step forward and brought my lips to her breast, getting her to groan on the table while her hand trailed down towards my member and grabbing it and stroking it to full mast.
Leaving her breast much to her disappointment, but that changed when I began kissing my way down to her cunt, stopping for a moment to pick her up and hang her upside down I began to eat her out causing her to groan before her attention was diverted to my cock pointed at her face. She stared at it for a moment before she began to pleasure me via her giving me a blowjob. She was inexperienced at this but she was learning as she was getting more enthusiastic as she picked up the pace. Time goes by and I groan into her cunt causing her to shriek around my member causing me to grunt as I feel my balls twitch. I pull away from her cunt and groan out "Anya I'm going to cum soon." As soon as I finish my sentence I begin to cum, causing Anya to choke as her mouth was filled to the brim with shot after shot before she pulled away getting a faceful in return before I became spent.
I set Anya down and handed her a dishrag from off the table. "Here" Anya took it and began cleaning herself using her hand and the dishrag to clean up her face. "Well that was entertaining but I'm not satisfied yet-" her voice cut off as she stared at my dick in shock as it became hard once again.
"yeah, i'm not done yet hun" I chuckle before grabbing her legs and throwing them over my shoulder trapping her body under my own as she looks at me in shock. "Heh never been fucked like this huh?" I grunt as I press my cock into her cunt causing us both to groan in apprieciation, for me it was like sticking my dick into a very strong velvet vice, for her it was like she was being fucked by a bull.
Soon a rhythm was found with my thrusts and the tempo of our dance picked up its pace. We kept going like this for an hour before a familiar feeling was felt in my balls, I grunt out "Anya, cumming soon, where?"
She was unresponsive for a moment before she got the memo and stared at me for a moment before replying "i-inside, do it inside!" she screams out in ecstasy as I pick up the pace. The table began to groan as I began to hammer into her faster and faster till my hips became a blur. As I hilt myself inside her one final time the table gives out from under us causing us to fall to the ground as we both came with a grunt and shriek respectively. We were stuck like this for several minutes before I finally became spent and began to pull out, leaving her cunt with a grunt. I watched as my seed left her ruined cunt. I give a sigh as I turn to the bound now awake Jorn staring at us with a mix of emotions ``Sorry lad, looks like your ex-wife found a better man than you" I give him a smile before moving aside to show him my handy work.
Anya's body was covered in sweat as she took massive breaths, causing her breasts to rise and fall. Her cunt soon became a leaking faucet at my seed left her cunt, Anya's face though was the selling point as her face was stuck in a face of pleasure, eyes rolled back, and tongue hanging out as she takes breath with the edges of her mouth quirked upwards in a 'open mouthed' smile.
Lemon Over: Andre's Pov:
"You see now, boy" I bring Jorn's horrified eyes to me as I now stand beside his bound form with a Steel Greathammer in hand. His eyes soon lock onto mine in horror before he began to struggle, trying to get free of his bounds ``It doesn't matter now how hard you try, Boy you wouldn't be able to compare to me even if you hadn't left her boy" I say staring at the soon to be dead boy, yes I called him boy he didn't deserve to be called a man if he ran away from his wife.
Gripping my new weapon with both my hands I began to wind up my swing aiming for his head, I decided to give him some parting words "When you get to Sovngarde tell 'em ole Andre sent you!" finishing my statement I swing my great hammer at his head, upon hitting said head it didn't get crushed, no it imploded causing the pillar to have spider web like cracks form around the area of impact. With a huff I let go of my weapon and turned back to Anya, shaking my head I walk over to her and pick her up bridal style "I hope your ready Anya'' here I give a grin, "I'm nowhere near satisfied yet" with a chuckle I carry her to the area they used for sleep, ready for a 'Long, but fruitful' night.
Third Person Pov: The Next Morning:
"Ugh, my head" Anya groaned, sitting up, wincing as she did so as a very good soreness from last night's debauchery came to the forefront of her mind causing her to blush. "I'm going to need New Moon tea when we get to Riverwood" she groans out before noticing something important "Where's Andre?"
She soon finds him carrying the bandit corpses and dropping them into a pile near the forge area of the mine. He wipes his hands with a dishrag before noticing her, waving at her with a smile, one she finds herself returning. He walks up the ramp leading up here he says "Okay, so there is good news and bad news, which do you want first?" He looks at her waiting for a response "Bad news first please" he responds back with "Okay the bad news, due to last night's activity i'm pretty sure all of Skyrim heard us." Anya slaps Andre's bicep for his crude humor, getting a chuckle in return. "The good news is it's morning and there was no incident last night, so we should be golden to make our way to Riverwood." She stares at Andre for a moment before she tries to get up only for her legs to give out and Andre to catch her with a chuckle "Woah, easy there Anya I may have spent a little too much with you last night."
Anya sighs out "Give me a moment" she concentrates her mana for a moment before she releases it into her body causing all of the stress to leave her body. "Ok, lets go" she gets up slowly making sure she doesn't fall this time. Anya looks at the bodies piled up near the forge and turns towards Andre asking "What are you going to do with the bodies?" He stares at her for a moment before replying "Burn them" nodding to his reply she continues "Good, let them be of some use for once."
With that said they make their way down the ramp and towards the pile, Andre grabs a torch of one of the wall scones and tosses it into the pile causing it to ignite.
After staring at the fire for a moment both Anya and Andre reclothed themselves and headed towards the exit, upon exiting the mine they were temporarily blinded by the light.

Staring at my perks for a long moment, I contemplate on killing myself while cursing the game in my mind. As I calm down I start going over all the information the perks given to me give, with 'Strong Man's Strength' and 'Monstrous Strength' currently I'm staring at a 20% increase in my Strength stat. That alone made me dangerous, then there are the 'Iron Body', 'Piss and Vinegar' perks. Those two alone made me more of a god's damned tank! Which is greatly appreciated for when I have to fight a dangerous opponent, i.e a dragon I at least won't die from one hit. The rest of the perks just add to the tankiness of myself, I'm soon drawn from my pondering by the sight of Riverwood in the distance. Glancing at Anya I give her a nod as we pick up the pace, we soon arrive there by noon and enter through the gates.
Walking into Riverwood we see the smithy to our left alongside the mill behind said smithy, to our right we see what is undoubtedly the Riverwood trader and further down the Inn. Before we walk any further we are stopped by a male nord with blonde hair and blue eyes. A quick cast of 'Observe' told me all I needed to know who he is.
Sven: Lvl: 5, Title: Bard of Riverwood
Thoughts: Hoping you're not here to steal Camilla away from him.
I gave him a smile and greeted him with "Hello there! You wouldn't know where the inn is, do you?" he stares at me for a moment before relaxing slightly and replying back with a smile "Why yes, I play there as the bard, it's right down the road" he points to the large building with a tavern sign on it. "Well be seeing you, friend" I gave him a nod before heading off with Anya. It didn't take long before we entered and found some familiar faces in the form of Ralof and the dragonborn, Freya talking to a wood elf.
Faendal: Lvl: 10, Title: Hunter of Riverwood
Thoughts: Hoping these two can help him convince Camilla to stay away from Sven.
'Ugh just great, another case similar to Anya's' Speaking of her she's been quiet for a while now, I turn to look at her and I find out she's talking to the barkeep. Upon approach I catch the end of the conversation "One room for two please", "Coming right up, and here's your room key" the barkeep slides a key towards Anya who grabs it and backs up into me causing her to jump.
Chuckling, I wrap my arms around her and lean down to rest my head on her's "So a room for two huh?" she blushes and turns away saying "You should at least take responsibility for what you did" chuckling I nod saying "if that's what you wish, my dear then i'll take responsibility" turning from her I turn towards the barkeep "Oi, barkeep! Any hot springs around here?" he stares at me for a moment before nodding "Yeah, we got them here, usually cost around 30 Septims per person for a bath" humming I bring out 60 septims from my inventory and tossing the bag to him "Here you go" he catches it before counting the coins before saying "Pleasure doing business with you"
Walking to our room we were stopped by Ralof who stood in front of us, he stared at me for a long moment "Do you know what you've done, kinsman?" He looked slightly depressed.
"You mean the whole thing with Ulfric?" when he nodded I continued "I won't take back what I said for what I said was the truth" he looked troubled for a moment before replying "You know, when you brought that up alot of us tried to find an argument against that, we just couldn't find any kind of flaw in it" he sighs "Most of the others already went on to get back to Windhelm, while I decided to stay here and look after my family for awhile"
His eyes locked onto mine "But I can't protect my family from dragons, I've seen what happened at Helgen, we all lived through it for god's sake!" he bangs his hand on the wall beside him before calming down "I'm ashamed to admit this but I need your help, Riverwood needs your help" he looks at me begging "So please help us."
I walk up to him with Anya staying behind, I reach out and grab his shoulder and give him a gentle squeeze and a smile before saying "Sure, it's the least I can do"
Ralof stares at me for a moment to catch his thoughts before saying "The Jarl of Whiterun, Jarl Balgruuf needs to know of the dragon attack as well as Riverwood being defenseless. If you can do that for us we will be in your debt" I nod my head before replying "I will need supplies and directions before I do anything" we both share a laugh at that.
"Well" Ralof began "The Blacksmith Alvor is currently available right now for smithing, while the Riverwood Trader is open, it was robbed recently." He finished walking out with me in tow as we headed towards the Blacksmith, I opened my inventory and used my skill books.

I dismiss the notifications for later testing in the dungeons, walking up to Alvor I cough into my hand to get his attention. Alvor is a nord with dark brown hair and a well trimmed beard, his face was dirty showing he was hard at work, his physique was on the large side but that didn't mean he was weak given that his arms were muscular.
"Greetings Alvor, I am Andre and I was wondering if you had any armor that could fit me?" I asked, getting him to stare at me for several minutes "Aye I do, but you'd have to come by tomorrow to get you outfitted lad." His voice was rough as he spoke, he pushed away from the wall he was leaning on and headed towards his forge "If you have the coin try Lucian's shop across the road for supplies." he spoke, picking up a hammer and tongs before getting back to work.
Nodding my head to him I turn to see Sven talking to Freya who was holding two letters in her hands, walking over I catch the last bit of their conversation, "...at should get Camilla to see Sven for who he is, just make sure you give it to her when she's alone ok?" Sven said looking at Freya oblivious to the fact I'm right behind him.
Third Person Pov:
Freya nods her head at Sven causing him to smile and walk off towards the tavern, leaving Freya and Andre alone in the middle of the road, turning to Freya, Andre and saying "Walk with me." motioning her to follow him to the gate leading to the mine he stops at the gate as Freya caught up to him "So what do you want to talk about?" she asked, getting to the point. With a sigh Andre spoke holding his hand out "Fine, the two letters Sven and Faendal gave you, hand them over" Freya stared at him for a moment before laughing "Hahaha….yeah no, i'm not handing anything ov-" shes interrupted by Andre "I'll give you 100 Septims." "Deal!" holding her hand out expectantly Andre hands her the money while she handed over the letters before saying "Pleasure doing business with you." then walking off.
Andre's Pov:
Walking to the Riverwood trader I read the two letters shaking my head at their contents, entering the trader I'm greeted with two people arguing, one male and one female imperial. The male, Lucian Vallerias was of average height and scrawny build with short black hair with a goatee and pencil stache, a large nose decorated his face as the main attraction, his eyes were hazel but he held them in a shrew gaze, the woman, Camilla Valerias was of average height with long black hair tied into a bun with two braids connected to it, a slightly large nose decorated her face, her eyes the color of amber, she wore a burgundy colored dress that showed off a modest amount of her cleavage.
Their argument ceased when I entered, Lucian cleared his throat "Ah a customer! Welcome to the Riverwood Trader, how can I help you?" he spoke with a smile before I raised the letters in my hand "Got a delivery for one Camilla Vallerias, but I also need supplies, if you have a Waterskin, a fur cloak and a couple of torches I'll buy those, if you have them." Lucian nodded, walking off to find the allotted items leaving me alone with Camilla.
Camilla coughed into her hand getting my attention "ehem yes well, what do you have for me?" she asked, getting me to hand over both letters "Oh, what's this?" As she opened the letters she began to read, her expression changed from neutral to angry as Lucian brought out the items I asked for. Upon arrival Lucian noticed Camilla's expression getting worried something happened, turning to me he yelled "What did you do?!" raising my hands to placate Lucian I explained the situation to him and Camilla who was listening.
"Do you two know Freya?" I asked, getting nods from both "Well Feandal was planning to use her to get Camilla here to leave Sven so he could woo her into a relationship" both Camilla and Lucian got angry at this but before they could voice their anger I continued "Sven caught on to what Faendal was doing and decided to use the same tactic against him, but before Freya could deliver them I pulled her aside and made a trade for them I could make explain the situation." I finished before turning to Lucian.
"So about the supplies, how much in total?" I asked, getting Lucian to sputter "No-now wait just a minute here, you can't just drop all of this on us and just go about your day as if nothing ever happened!" he exclaimed, getting a small chuckle out of Camilla and I.
"Look" I said "This situation should be handled by you two and the two idiots who aren't man enough to properly court the lovely lady here" I motioned to Camilla at the end of my statement getting a blush in return.
"Bu-" Lucian began before I cut him off "Lucian, this family matter regarding your sister, if you want me to help you just have to say it" here he looked hopeful "But by doing so you implement that i'm a suitor for Camilla" here his expression soured "Now you see why I'm trying to stay out of the situation, I'm already in a relationship with Anya and I ain't gonna cheat on her because of this" at this Lucian released a sigh of defeat while running a hand through his hair.
"So you won't help?" the question came from Camilla surprisingly getting both of us to turn to her, surprised "What? I'm just saying if he helps us and we explain he's a mediator of the issue there shouldn't be a problem right?" she questioned getting both of us to look thoughtful before Lucian snapped his fingers, a shrewd grin on his face "Yes, Yes! That could work!" here he turned to me "With you as our mediator they can't do anything rash! They'll have to listen to reason whether they like it or not!" he laughed out, getting both Camilla and I to sigh at his antics.
Then he stopped laughing "As for your supplies that would be about 249 Septims" he said holding out his hand, reaching into my inventory I pulled out the amount asked before handing them over "Huh, interesting magic you have there…. Oh! We didn't even ask your name did we?" Lucian asked counting the Septims.
Blinking in realization that I forgot to introduce myself I cough into my fist "Ah! Well I'm Andre, pleasure to meet you both" I said giving them both a bow.
Lucian waved me off with a smile as I placed my items in my inventory "Don't worry about it Andre now get going Camilla will find you when we need you." Nodding my head I leave the trader thinking about what I should do now that I'm free, after a while I decided to go to the dungeon to grind till nighttime.
