Chapter 99: The Battle for Whiterun
Hogni the Fruious was now planing to journey to deliver the Axe of Ulfric Stormclock to the Jarl of Whiterun to mkae sure he gets the message but before they left they a bit of sight seeing and saw the Windhelm houses of parlament, the Windhelm Natural History Musem, Windhelm Wax Musem and went the Windhelm eye witch is the giant fereis wheel.
During their tour of Windhelm they stoped at the docks and there Hogni the Furious spoke with Scouts-Many-Marshes who says that the Argonian workers are not treasted well and so Hogni the Furious talked to his boss and got them better wages and tol Scouts-Many-Marshes that he did this.
The some Argonina Chick spoke to Hogni about having her Amulet stolen by bandits so they raided tha bandit camp and brought the amulet back with her and contuned the tour and saw tgho Windhelm the Tower of Windhelm and the Windhelm Musem and the Windhelm National Galley. They also got to see some of the constructuon of the Whindhelm underground witch will conect this guge city at somepoint using dawrven technogly supplied by the collage of Winterholm and will use Dwarfen trains that look like seomthing out of oddworld to conect magjor parsts of the huge citiy.
Then that night it was preapaering for the Journy to Whiterun that would make or break the war and will determine what will happen to Whiterun. Hogni the Fruirous is concerned he is good frineds with the Jarl there and he is worried about what he mite say. Ulfric thinks that the Jarl Balgruuf will join with the Stormclocks when it comes to it but Galmer thinks oppisate and thinks he will betray. Hogni the Furious doesn't know what to thinks only that it would be a great shame to have to fiht his freind the Jarl.
So they headed out to Whiterun for the hundreds of mile jounrey and on the way there they stayed at Kynesgrove and there had a drink at teh inn and spoke with a thsi cool dude named Roggi Knot-Beard and he is a sound man and he likes pint of mead.
So he and Hogni the Furious talked about drinking and battles and scuh and he told the great Dragonbron about the history of the palce.
"I've wandered a bit, but I always come back to Kynesgrove. My clan was one of the first to settle here. Legend says that my forefather Lenne discovered the mines after he stumbled into a dark cave to relieve himself. Too much mead. Of course, there's another story of Lenne losing the family shield in a different cave, so it depends on who you believe."
So Hogni the Furious offered to go find his sheild and he did and then he went to a cave and the cave is called Cronvangr Cave and they went into iside and it was ful of spdiars and they forted them and killered them adn soon they to the right and were in a room with vampyres wtch they had to fiht and killer.
Hogi the Furious was killing with his Dragonshouts and Viking Moves and the Knight was using expert jousting moves to imaple vampires and Lydia was using sheild madern tactics and the Hunter was shotting staeks at them. Soon they were al killered and that was good. Than Hogni the Furious found a book about a locked room then it was to the downstair and they headed down to the lower sscetions in lng minshaft leik stair way and they go tthere.
There was moar spiders to fite and than there was a giant spider called the Spider Daedra and she is half woman half spider and she attackled with fury and they had to fight her. She was fireing exploding fire and firery fire and much fire. So they had to avoid the fire and hit it with attacks and Hogni was Dragonshouting and using Viking Axe and Lydia was hseild face with sheild and attack with viking sowrd and the Knight was going in with hnor and using his knight migh to do dame and the Hunter was using his huning mvoes but Brandon the Bard the was eating spider "these don't taste so good" he say and the Spider Daedra sighed "silly brandon"
Soon thought some epice moves and badass tactics they took it down and killed it and then Hogni the Fruious found a spell on its body to summon one and this he later gave to the listenr Unra Stoneheart as a gift. They also found the Sheild they wre locking for and took it back to the good man Roggi Knot-Beard and he say
"My clan's shield. So Lenne really did stumble into that cave and was eaten by monsters. In honor of his memory, let me show you a few shield techniques. And tell me if you're leaving town. Be good to travel again."
Than Hogni the Furious payed off Roggi Knot-Beards large tab and they all had good drink and good cheet and it was time to go to Whiterun and they all rode merrerly along and after 100's of miles of jorney they got there and Hogni the Fruious ravled to sea the Jarl and that was good eccpt it wasn't good.
The Jarl reived the axe and aske dwhat his adivcer what they should do if Ulfric were to attack and his adviser said to be causus but the Jarl say that it is time to act. He wasnt to fight Ulrfic 1v1 but it was pointed that Ulfric will send his troops instead and because he wants to prove his amy. So the decided to sned into for the legion and the Jarl Balgruuf say that would coardly but than it was pointed out to himt hat sighing treaty with elves and getting moneys form them was feven worse. So Balgruuf said that if Ulfric is serious about attacking so he is about the battle. THan he turned to Hogni the Furious and sayeded
"You there. I have a message for you to deliver to our friend, the esteemed Jarl of Windhelm. Deliver this axe to Ulfric Stormcloak."
Hogni the Furious tried to speak him out of it and get him to side with the Stormclocks but he not listen so Hogni the Furious has no choice but to got to Ulfric and begin this warr aginsst the man that was ocne hsi good freind and ally but now his ennermy and that is the sad. But at same time Sigard the Slayer was all up for the war though cuase he always hated Balgruuf and consdird Balgruuf to be a traitor and elf lover and coward for not siding with Ulfric form the beining and now htis was just confimed.
As they were leacing Hogni the Furious raninto Avulstein Gray-Mane who has a moar complicated name than Edward Elric's father in FMAB so we'll just call him Steve becaue I will be able to wrtie that and not have to just keep copying apsting Aslvut gra whatever so Steve told Hogni the Furious that his bro had been captured by the legion and want Hogni the Furious to invsiagintg this and so Hogni the Furious saying that he whould.
"I know that Thorald's not dead. I just know it. The Imperials have him, and are keeping him somewhere. But I don't know where. Those damned Battle-Borns... they know something. They're hiding it. They practically taunt us with it. They must have some sort of proof! There's got to be something in that house of theirs. I just know it. I don't dare leave the house myself. So I need your help."
So this is one of big problems with this quest is who has ever herd of a Viking Warrior called Steve that doesn't make sense. Anyway
So Hogni the Furious went into the revial house of Steve and spoke to the Idolaf Battle-Born who told him that Steve would be bettar of thinking that his bro is the dead and gave the dragonborn Hogni the Furious a writ Imperial massive that say that Steve's Bro had been captured by teh Thalmour and this was bad so Hogni the Furious and Sigard the Slayer went back to Steve and told him whap happed and he was not happed and he sayed
"I knew it! Let me see, please! The Thalmor? By the Nine, it's worse than I thought. So... Northwatch Keep. Then we know where to hit them."
So then he say that they must attack the Northwatch Keep so they arranged to get there and but it is serveal hundred miles away but luckily Johhny Drunkparrot gave them a life in his ship and they did a sea raid on the keep with the canons blasting and Thalmour being blow up.
Than they all charged into the keep castle fort Hogni the Furious, Lydia, The Knight, The Hunter, Captain Ghoragdog, Captain Guomundr, Sigard the Slayer, Johhny Drunkparrot, Aloa the Huntress, Falkras, Valkrisk, all other compaions they slaughter many THalmous and killed them and raided the fort.
Soon the destroyed them all and got to the toruture camber where Steve's Bro was the freed and let loose and he say some good things about them for doing this and than Sigard the Slayer and Hogni the Furious let free all the over prisoners but most of them just stsood adround exepct for htis one dude who gave quite a talk and followed thme around.
Than Steve's bro sayed to Hogni the Fruious
"I cannot thank you enough for rescuing me from this place. I suspect I'd never again see the light of day otherwise. But why would you risk your life for me, a stranger?"
and Hogni the Fruious gave them all the detial sand they told him that they are joing the Stormclocks like true nords everyone salted them. So than Hogni the Furious was given a message to give to their mummy and when they got back to Whiterun he did furst though he had to sayed hat they arr not coim hom and she sayed
"What? After all this, I can't even see him? How... How do I know you're telling me the truth, and not just what I want to hear?" but Hongi gave screat mesage and sayed "suffer the winter's cold wind..." and she sayed "...for it bears aloft next summer's seeds." That's my boy. So it's true, then. For now, it's enough to know that he's alive. I can find peace in that. Thank you, dear friend. You've given me back my son."
And she give him the enhacted weepon and they left on thier way back to Whindhelm but before they left he ran into Alyce who was heading to Whindhlem and so she took them on her magic carpet and she gt there and was deilvering a note to Qunitus at the White Phail and the note was from Sondas then she did that and that was good.
So than Hogni the Furious came to Ulfric Stormclock and told him what had took place and he sayed "You were right Galmer" and Galmer sayed "again" but Ulfric told him that he is in no mood to joke and than they dsicssed the attack on Whiterun and so after that Ulfric turned to Hogni the Furious and Sigard the Slayer adn sayed.
"Make haste to our camp in Whiterun. I want you on the front lines. I have a feeling about you. Your place is on that battlefield. I need you there."
So they marched to Whiterun and begun the seige and there was catiplts firing rocks that blew up and stick staybed and Galmer gave an epci speech which I recount here
"This is it men! They say that our cause is false and that we are nothing more than thieves, thugs and murderers! But no! We are farmers! We are craftsmen! We are sons and daughters of shopkeepers, maid servants and soldiers! We are the sons and daughters of Skyrim! And we have come this far because our cause is true. Because we fight as one. And because our hearts are bursting with anger! What we do here today, we do for our country! For all the true Nords of Skyrim! Whiterun's walls are tall, but they are old and crumbling, like the Empire whose Legion lines them. They've barricades to block us, but we'll tear through them and the Imperials behind them! Our objective is the drawbridge. If we can find a way to drop it, the city will be ours! Everyone on me. Let's show these Imperial milk drinkers what true Nords look like! Rrrrraaaaaarrrrr!"
So they all charcged and Hogni the Furious, Lydia, The Knight, The Hunter, Captain Ghoragdog, Captain Guomundr and Sigard the Slayer attacked the fort and mde many impreails dye. They were shootinth em and slacingin thme and killing the. Hogni the Furious usied viking mvoes and Dragon Shouts and Lydia used Valrikye moves and the Knight killered them with hive knightly moves that were honrable and the Hunter sniped them with hi sbow and Captain Ghoragdog used moved he lernet and sea. Alyce was also there and dropping bombs and firing millsies form her flying carpet. THan Sigard the Slayer sliped behind the gate and opend it because he is invaliable and they all charged athe Imprieal as they ran awys.
So than they got inisde and icry it was mass fighting and dangerou and war things blowing up and burning and slcining and arrows. At one point it lookin they might lose and Alyce's fyling carpet was shot down. But they cold sea her parrocshoot so she is oke and the Stormclocks got to the main fort and killering everytihn hthat tired to stopping them. So they got to the Dragonreach and Balgruuf sayed
"I'll be damned if I let this rabble take my city without raising my own sword."
So they had to fighting him and his guards and it was a real hall duel with many the swashbuckling action and doing much damage to eacth other and many action moves and cool stundts But because Balgruuf and his were taken down and Balgruuf surronededr.
Than Balgruuf and Vignar had a talkings and dis ome very harsh wordings at each over and after they had there talk Balgruuf turned to Hogni the Furious and sayed
"And you. A Stormcloak? I'd thought better of you. You'll all come to regret this day."
So then they got to the clean up the city and found Brandon the Bard and the tree ouside the city and he sayed "the tree is sick we need to find a way to heal it" and than the preistess of the temple came out ands she sayed some things that the tree was damaged when stuk be linghting and Brandon the Bard sayed
"It was Malcom the Jester that did that"
So the preistess sighed "silly Brandon" and contiuned say thing that it came from the oldest tree in Skyrim and prboally the oldest living thing in not only Skyrim but Tameria as well and they were impressed. So she told them that they need to get some sap from it but they need a special kind of nife that only the hagravens have and told them were can get it.
Alcye had repaired her flying capet and took them down to the place and they killered the Hagraven and got the nif and whent back. They got to the temple and some dude is having an arugment.
The dude is complaing about the tree being almost dead and becase that is what he came here for and she didn't have any intrest cause she is busy. Then Hogni the Furious camea and sayed that he got the blade adn she thanked him and told him to go get the sap form the glade.
The man came up and aksed if that is where they're heading and it is so he heds with them and that is good. THey got there and there is a lot of hippies there sining about the caravan of love and singing imagine by John Lenin.
Then some beakneck came and offter canbiis and Sigard sayed "get a job you hippy"
Than one of the hippes she was saying while stone out of her mind "wooooow due like you can't get to the tree man cause all the roots are in the way but htese is the blade that can cut the roots" and Hogni sohwed it and she is all like "woooow man that is but don't hurt the tree man and nature is good and nuclear war is bad etc."
Hogni the Furious din't have any thime for this hippy nonsnes and told her to get a job and told her boyfeind to get a haircut. THan they headed to the tree while he is cutting roots and they all comalping abotu those god dam hippes.
But whent they got there the dude that came with was like "wow bad vibes man yo can't take the sape form the tree that is not cool. I will pray to the tree for a sappling and you can replace the old tree with the spappling becaue kids are future man and all you need is love man" so they went aling and he prayed to the tree and got a sappling and gave it to them and made the peace sign.
So they were taken back to the tree but Brandon the Bard had an idea he didn't want to get rid of the tree but luckily he knows some alamcy and made a transmuation cricle and merged the sappling with the old tree to make a far suipoer combination of both the old and new merged into one to create a super tree and Brandon sayed "Wow I healed the Gildergreen maybe I should become a tree surgeon" and on that day noone called him "Silly Brandon"
To Be Countued...
