Chapter 4: Riverwood Part 2: Electric Boogaloo & DUNGEON BOSSES!
Andre's Pov:
Walking out of the Riverwood trader I head to the inn to talk with Anya, upon entering I notice she is at one of the tables talking to Ralofs sister Gerdur and Alvor's wife Sigrid, waving once they notice me I go to our room and sit on top of the bed. Pulling out one of the Iron Waraxes from my inventory and held it in my hands, deep in thought on what I should do to kill time, I could grind in the dungeon to get my class leveled up or I could wander about the town for the rest of the day till I get called to mediate that love feud.
…It wasn't even a decision, quickly opening the dungeon menu I clicked on the [Bandit] tab.
Bandit Floor 1:
Finding myself back in the camp I was in during the tutorial, I look around to see any enemies and find none. Taking a step forward, I'm stopped by a notification appearing in front of me.
Congratulations User! You've cleared 1 Bandit camp(Lesser)! Clear out all of them and defeat the Bandit Boss to proceed to the next level!

Nodding my head I continued on as I pulled out a steel short sword to duel wield and began the long process of grinding.
Several Hours Later:
So the first grinding session came to an end and I have to say I think I did pretty well if I say so for myself.

I allocated most of my points into Dex while putting the rest into Luck. I also learned some of the mechanics for leveling up the [System] forgot to mention such as my class won't level up if I don't use it! Figured that one out after clearing a [Major] bandit camp, since then I was using my golems to either cause distractions or using them to cause chaos. Speaking of golems, I found out that they take around a hundred points of my magic just to summon one! I'm gonna need to find a way to reduce the cost for now till my magic reserves are bigger.
Still I managed to clear several Lesser ones and one Major camp, so all in all a good session.
Third Person POV:
With an Inventory full of loot Andre left the dungeon and returned to his body in Riverwood. Snapping his eyes open Andre slowly stood up, putting his weapons away for later dismantling before heading out of the Inn, Andre stepped out taking a breath of air as he did so.
"Ooph!" Andre exclaimed as someone crashed head first into his midsection before they fell back with a pained whine, staring down Andre's eyes made contact with a young boy, Gerdur's boy, Frodnar. Bending down Andre offers a hand to the boy, with hesitancy Frodnar grasps Andre's hand and is pulled up "You should watch where you run young man." Andre said, patting Frodnar's shoulder before walking off.
Staring up at the sky Andre noted he had some time till the sun sets so with that in mind he went towards the mill for some light work. Approaching the mill Andre sees Hod, Gerdur's husband, at work with Faendal nowhere to be seen. Not really caring about where he was at, Andre walked up to Hod who was grunting trying to get a rather thick log on the saw mill, coughing in his fist to get Hods attention Andre asked "Need some help?"
With a sigh Hod Replies "Aye lad I could use a hand or several" before he points to the log he's been trying to lift "See this log? Well it's been a pain to lift this thing up here in the first place but with my workers disappearing on me from time to time I've never gotten the time to actually cut this thing in half." here he sighs out "The problem is with both Faendal and Sven taking off from time to time, most of the time without even telling me mind you, the log keeps getting older and older, which if you didn't know means sooner or later it'll become rotted out which would then mean it would be useless for building."
Andre grunts in understanding while rubbing his chin in thought before motioning Hod to move to the side, Hod reluctantly moved as Andre stepped up to the massive log and with a grunt of effort slowly began picking it up, to Hods amazement before Andre with a roar sent the log over his head and into the sawmills 'log holder'. Turning to Hod, Andre gestures to the lever, getting the hint Hod walks over and with a grunt pulls the lever starting the sawmill up.
They both stayed there watching as the massive log gets slowly cut in half, when both halves of the logs fell off of the end of the sawmill Andre asked Hod a question that's been on his mind for some time now. "Hey Hod?" "Yeah lad? What is it?" "You said that your workers kept disappearing on ya, do you know where they keep going off too?"
"Aye" Hod grunts out "Faendal goes 'hunting' whenever he even catches a glimpse of a stag and Sven, heh" he grunts out even more grumpier "Well Sven been showing up less and less to work at the inn to impress that Camilla girl."
"Well I may have an idea to get both of your 'workers' back to work so to speak." Andre stated, peaking Hod's curiosity "But for this to work we're going to need some more people to get this to work." And with that Andre and Hod set out to gather several other people to help settle this 'dispute' between Sven and Faendal.
The Riverwood Trader: 1 hour later (Andres POV):
"Alright, is everyone ready?" Lucan asked after Andre and Hod brought several people in and explained the situation involving Sven and Faendal and Andre's 'idea' to solve this without him having to beat either of them to near death.
"AYE!" Several people shouted out before heading to the inn while some of them went and retrieved Faendal and Sven.
Entering the Inn I see several empty tables and with a gesture Hod and Alvor began moving one of them so it was near the bar where Orgnar was watching. Walking up to Orgnar I spoke before he could. "Evening Orgnar, don't mind us, we're just about to deal with some idiots, we'll put everything back after this." Handing him a pouch of septims he gives me a nod before reaching under the bar counter and pulling out several bottles of ale.
Passing a couple of bottles around I set five of them on the table before I took a seat at the table and waited. Soon Camilla and Lucan showed up and took the seats to the left of me while Sven and Faendal showed up at different intervals and with some pressure Camilla got them to sit to my right.
"So" I began cutting to the chase. "You two seem to have a problem with each other and it's starting to affect other peoples lives outside of this quartet here." Taking a breath I take a swig of ale before continuing "Now I don't know how you all do things here, given the fact one party is an Imperial, another is an Elf and lastly a Nord." I make eye contact with each affirmative party as I said their race.
Before I could continue Sven cuts in "I don't see any point in this! All Faendal has to do is back down and me and Camilla can go about our da-" Faendal cuts Sven off "No No No! I think you mean Camilla and I!" Here he gestured to himself "Besides" here he gave a 'rogueish' grin which he failed at given Camilla's creeped out expression. "If I remember right you wouldn't be able to even keep yourself afloat without your mother." He chuckled here "Heh, Hell if you somehow got married I'd be surprised if you even still had a house let alone a wife at the end of the first season!"
Sven, angry, got to his feet before I slammed a hand on the table, getting our drinks to bounce. "You know" I state as I reach over and snag Faendals ale getting a 'Hey!', uncorking the bottle I knock it back before downing it in four large gulps. "If I knew you were gonna try and goad the boy I would have just done the simpler solution to this problem and just killed the both of you to save us all the hassle." taking a breath I continued before they could interrupt me "But I promised the Valerius family I would be a mediator and by the gods I'm pretty sure that's already biting us in the ass" that got some chuckles in the crowd "So, lets get this shit show over with." here I turned to Camilla " if you please?"
"Yes, ah Sven and Faendal" both perked up at her like two over excited puppies only for them to wince as she began to lay into them. Camilla left no stone unturned here, listing of their flaws as well as their benefits that they each brought to the table as well as all of the deeds they did, good and bad. By the end of it they both were cowering messes as Camilla huffed before continuing "And another thing-" I coughed in my hand getting her and everyone else's attention.
"You know, if I knew you were gonna be this ruthless I would have told Lucan no when you all asked for me to be the mediator of this." I said, getting Camilla to blush in embarrassment before I continued "So, seeing as this is going to absolute hell, I'll make this brief so we can all go home and go to bed. I don't know how the Elves or the Imperials go about courting but I do know how Nords do courting and this is the route I'm suggesting seeing as it would probably be the easiest method."
Making eye contact with everyone at the table as I speak "The Nords have the three trials when a situation where two young men fight over a woman's hand, The first trial is trial by combat, no weapons, no magic, just your bloody hands, it represents your ability to protect your love interest." seeing that they were paying attention I continued "The second trail is the trail of provision, it's a trail where both parties must hunt to show they could provide food for their love interests." this got Faendal to grin rather excitedly while Sven's expression soured
"And finally" I began "The trial of labor, its a trial where both parties varying for their love interests would work the day and whoever had made the most coin would be the winner." I finished speaking before Sven asked "Wait…. What does this trial represent?" he asked, looking confused. As I stood to head towards the hot springs I answered "It represents your ability to keep your love interest protected, as with gold one can buy weapons or armor, supplies all of which can make one happy and safe." With that I leave with both Camilla and Lucan following soon after.
Walking towards the hot springs Lucan spoke up "So, you think they will buy the lie?" he asked, looking at me curiously. Not even stopping my stride I answered "What lie? The Trials? Those are actually real Lucan" as I kept walking I didn't see the incredulous look Lucan was giving me as I continued "I talked with Hod, Alvor and Sven's mother about this and we agreed to make this a part of Riverwoods culture from now on." stopping I turn to them and smile "So they never were a lie Lucan, just a tradition that hasn't been made yet." waving at them I enter the hots springs, grabbing a towel as I did so.
Turning to them as I state "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna have a relaxing time in the hot spring before bed." not to mention I have to finish the dungeons quest and begin to dismantle all the weapons and armor in my inventory.
With that I left the Valerius family to their own devices as I walked into the hot springs, removing my clothes as I did. Lowering myself I relax as the hot spring does what it does best and soothes my body, placing the towel over my head I lean back allowing the soothing waters to drift me away… I'm soon jostled from my 'slumber' by several voices behind me, all feminine.
"I'm telling you Anya, men are all the same, one day they say they love you then the next they don't even care!" A voice exclaimed, sounding exasperated.
"I know Gerdur, but Andre isn't like that." A voice said, Anya most likely.
"Um ladies…" Another voice now, sounds like Camilla.
"I'm just saying Anya, he could be taking responsibility, but when he sees the chance he's going to leave you for another woman…" Gerdur trailed off becoming quiet.
"...Andre is that you?" Anya asked, sounding suspicious.
"Hmm?" I reach up and pull the towel from my head briefly to look at them before placing it over my head again while I waved.
I can hear their footsteps as one of them, probably Anya, walked up to me and slowly got in beside me. I can hear Gerdur call out to her "Anya!? Your towel?!" she hissed out getting me to scoff at the prude.
"Ah don't be a worrywort Gerdur, Andre has seen me naked before and besides, this side of the hot springs is the deeper side so it can hide my body from any wandering eyes." Anya said, annoyed with what I could assume to be Gerdur's prudeness.
There's some hesitancy before more footsteps are heard before the sound of someone getting into the water was heard a distance away from me. With a sigh I wrap my arm around Anya and pull her in close before lifting my towel slightly so my voice isn't muffled "Gerdur, just be quiet, Anya and I are in a somewhat relationship where we still haven't seen where it would lead. So if you're going to try and ruin that before we can see where this relationship goes, I'll hurt you." and with that I put the towel back on my face and began to relax again.
I was annoyed, mostly at Gerdur for being a prude but I can see where she's coming from. After all, if I was possessive I wouldn't allow anyone to see Anya's body either, but Anya was a big girl and she could make her own decisions with her life. The women began chatting amongst themselves while I relaxed, not caring what they would do as long as I'm left alone.
But like all good things, they have to come to an end.
With a sigh I began to get up, pulling my towel away from my face as I did so before stretching, not even caring about the women in the hot springs as I face Anya "I'll see you at the Inn Anya" and with that I got out and dried off, not caring as I'm watched before getting dressed and leaving.
As I walked back to the Inn I'm going over my Inventory to see what I'm dismantling and what I'm keeping and I found something of interest.
Heart Piercer: Rank: C Weapon Type: Spear/Lance
Description: A Barbed Winged tipped spear of some renown, wielded by the former bounty hunter Jorn, who was known to always strike the heart with uncanny accuracy.
Special Effect: Heart Seeker: By channeling magic through it, Heart Piercer can pierce through most armors.
Looks like Jorn was good for something afterall, hello Beautyful~
Sorting through the rest of the stuff I decided to keep my Steel warhammer, the Heart Piercer, and something I 'acquired' clearing out the minor bandit camps from earlier, a steel Longsword and steel shield. Everything else I'll dismantle once I'm in the dungeon, entering the inn I make a bee line for my and Anya's room and lay down on the bed, closing my eyes I enter the dungeon.
~Time to Grind~
The Dungeon: Bandit Level:1 (1 / 3) Third Person POV:
Arriving in the major bandit camp Andre scooped out the area for any new enemies before moving on. Traversing the forest he came into contact with several bandit patrols which told him he was getting close to either a [lesser] camp or a [major] camp, Andre hopes it's a [major] camp. His hunch was correct, but to his disappointment it was a [lesser] camp, 'oh well' he thought before Andre released a battle cry startling what bandits were in the camp before he charged.
Two hours later: [Major] Bandit Camp:
Andre cut, stabbed and bashed anyone and everything around him as his two golems dealt with the archers and runners, ducking under a particular swing from a bandit chief Andre stabbed Heart Piercer through the underside of his jaw and out the top of his head, lift the bandit chief into the air with one arm he swung, throwing the dead chief at several highwayman charging at him.
Rushing ahead Andre equipped his sword and shield before continuing his rampage, all the while he was being watched by two bandits, one male and the other female clad in a different attire then the rest of these bandits.
"So, think he'll prove entertaining enough, Klavic?" the female asked, looking down from her perch as the male hums before turning around and walking deeper into the camp, the woman dropped from her perch and soon followed.
Down in the arena Andre was finishing the last dregs of the bandits before a notification popped up in front of him, and what was on that pop up caused him to grin from ear to ear.
WARNING: Boss Incoming!
Last time he got this he met the boss of the last [major] camp and had what was probably the most thrilling fight of his life (at the time), the last boss he fought wasn't all that deadly it was just his traps that nearly did Andre in.
'Maybe this one will be just as thrilling' he thought as he watched as the gate leading into the inner sanctum of the camp opened and Andre walked in.
Staring around Andre noticed several things, for one there were massive trees circling the arena the second was that there were two people other than him here, one female and the other male. With a grunt Andre readied himself as the female crouched before, to Andre's amazement, jumped onto one of the massive tree's branches. Staring at her for a moment before Andre focused his gaze onto the male only for his eyes to widen and Andre to roll to the side shield raised as the male smashed his weapon, a Greataxe into the spot Andre was just standing in.
Chiding himself, Andre charged, stabbing his sword forward as the male swung his fist in a backhand into the thrust. To Andre's shock and confusion sparks greeted him as his Long sword grazed off of the male bandit's gauntlet before grunting in pain after receiving a kick to the stomach from said bandit, forcing him away. The bandit hefting his axe up to his shoulder charged, barely giving Andre any time to recover as the bandit began his onslaught.
Overheaded swings, sideways sweeps and pommel strikes into shoulder charges were what the bandit used and each one either nicked Andre or met his shield with overwhelming force, staggering Andre back before his back smacked into the tree the woman was in.
The woman notched an arrow into her bow waiting as the male charged in for a sweep, aim carefully she fired as Andre went to block. Andre felt something pierce his shoulder as his shield arm went slack, letting go of his sword Andre grabbed his shield arm and braced himself as the Greataxe collided causing a cloud of wood dust to form.
The Two Bandit Bosses:
The woman jumped down from her perch as the male began walking away, Greataxe, with blood dripping down its edge, slung over his shoulder, the woman caught up to the male as she began talking "So Klavic, you think he's dead?" she asks, taking peeks at the dust cloud where Andre was, all Klavic did was grunt. Before the woman could continue they both spun around at the ready, arrows notched and Greataxe held at the ready as Andre emerged from the Dust cloud.
With Andre: Moments ago:
Andre laid in a crater in the tree, huffing and coughing up blood, staring down at his arm he could see the damage, the Greataxe tore through his shield and into his arm with great ease and would've tore through himself as well if he hadn't managed to smash himself into the tree. With a pained grunt Andre pulls several potions he got from Helgen out of his inventory, popping the cork of one of them he stops, places it down and reaches up, ripping the arrow out of his left shoulder before reaching down and drinking the potions. They were minor potions, not doing much but they would get him out of the 'red' so to speak, finishing the health potions Andre drank the magic potions next followed by the stamina potions.
Breathing out a sigh of relief as the potions did their work and his passives activated Andre began to plan out how to go forward. The two were strong, well one of them was while the other was fast and good with the bow, tricky too given that she poisoned him. The main problem wasn't her though it was the man with the Greataxe, his armor could bounce off his strikes which he followed up with strength greater than his own. Andre needed to use something to turn the tables and he had an Idea on how to change the tide of battle, slowly he stood grasping his longsword before sheathing it on his rope belt and replacing his shield with a new one before he brought out his next weapon and stepped out of the cloud while casting a spell.
Stepping out of the cloud Andre quickly cast 'observe' on the two before him.
The Butchered Bear: Klavic: Lv: 35
The Butchered Hawk: Releom: Lv: 29
With a snarl Andre charged as Releom jumped away to one of the trees while Klavic charged to meet him head on. Dodging the overhead strike Andre ran past Klavic and rushed towards the tree Releom was in, causing her to jump to another tree which she then fired several arrows in rapid succession. Raising his shield up Andre blocked most of the arrows and dodged the rest before dodging yet another overhead strike from Klavic who used the momentum to transfer into another strike.
Andre thrusted his weapon as Klavic swung his Greataxe and blood flew through the air.
Standing to the side was Andre, his weapon, the Heart Piercer striking one of the few spots that Klavic didn't have armor, his neck. But Andre wasn't unscathed as Klavic's Greataxe was embedded in the ground beside Andre and a chunk of his shoulder was cut off. Breathing out a sigh Andre raised his shield as Releom fired more arrows as she shouted out in anger, using his shield and Klavic's body as cover Andre watched as Releom screeched in anger before jumping to another tree for better shots. Unsheathing his longsword he held the sword in a javelin's stance before throwing the blade followed by his shield at Releom.
Ducking Releom dodged the sword before hopping over the shield and landing down on the ground in a crouch watching as Andre fell to the ground with several arrows sticking out of him, mostly his arms and legs. Slowly Releom approached the downed Andre pulling out a dagger from her hip as she goes for the killing blow she pauses as Andre's grin causes her to feel dread. Jumping back towards the tree she fell from, her eyes never leaving Andre as she notches another arrow her eyes went wide before rolling up to the back of her head as she fell to the ground.
Standing overtop of Releom was a wood golem equipped with Andre's Sword and shield pinning her to the ground. At Andre's side a dirt golem was pulling the arrows out of Andre, once the poison wore off Andre with the help of the dirt golem stood, with a motion of his hand the dirt golem approached Klavic's body and grasped the spear, with a tug that sent the corpse to the ground Heart Piercer was free and then returned to Andre.
Placing the spear in his inventory Andre walked over to Klavic's Greataxe and with a grunt hefted the thing up to rest upon his shoulder and approached Releom's downed form. Both dirt golem and wood golem got Releom to her knees with her next stretched out, with a swing of his new Greataxe Andre sent her head flying.
Level Up!
Looting the two bosses Andre found a key on Klavic while Releom had several valuables such as jewelry, and coins on her.
Placing their weapons and armor into Andre's inventory he swapped out his longsword for his Greataxe before he moved forward towards the massive tent in the end of the sanctum. Entering the tent he found two things of major interest, a safe and a treasure chest, approaching the treasure chest he pulled out the key he got from Klavic's body and opened the chest. Inside the chest was coins, gold bars and gemstones but what had Andre's attention was the two items that sat on top of the treasure.
Klavic's Ring of Strength: Rank: +C Item: Ring Set:1 / 3
Description: A ring of great renown. Once worn by Klavic when he was a Commander for a long dead kingdom. Enchanted to multiply the users VIT stat by 2.
Klavic's Necklace of Agility: Rank: +C Item: Necklace Set:1 / 3
Description: A necklace of great renown. Once worn by Klavic when he was a Commander for a long dead kingdom. Enchanted to multiply the users DEX stat by 2.
Andre immediately equipped those but he had to wonder where the third set piece was? Putting that thought to the side for now he turned to the safe and after a moment of looking around and spotting a bookshelf, Andre walked over to it and knocked it down sending the books flying around the floor, sifting through the mess Andre found several 'notes' some of them useful for later bosses, some of them were poison recipes and finally after several minutes of sifting and reading notes Andre found the safe code.
Putting the code in Andre expected the last piece of the set but instead found 3 black metal ingots with a red and orange flak pattern inside. Picking one up he noted how heavy it was compared to every other ingot he lifted.
Meteorite Ingot: Rank: B Item: Ingot
Description: The metal from the heavens, it was once said that weapons and armor made from this metal would never break or rust. Only Legendary smiths would be able to make something of use out of this.
Shaking his head Andre stashed everything away into his inventory before pulling up his Quest then pulling up his stats.
Quest Achieved: Bandit Extermination!: Part 1

- Exterminate Bandit Camp(Major): 2/4

Walking out of the camp Andre made it his goal to clear this Dungeon tonight. This he swore!
Many, Many, MANY Hours later:
"Ugh why'd I make that goal…" Andre groaned out laying in a crater in the last major camp, the last two bosses of said camps were a PAIN to deal with, ALL four of them were. The first was the Trap Master Iromu, a fucking Imperial who could make dangerous traps at an impressive rate, took him several minutes getting out of his traps which he then used those minutes to make more! The second boss was a duo named the Butchered Bear & Hawk Klavic & Releom, those two nearly did me in with Releom's poison tipped arrows and Klavicx great strength. The third was a, let's call it an interesting fight as the third boss was a Redgaurd named the Illusive Dancer Diovu, her whole gimmick was to trick you in illusions with her dancing, which debuff the shit out of you SEVERELY! The last of the four was the BIGGEST pain of the four named the Master of Explosions Baklao, a fucking Breton of all things which gave Andre the most intense fight he ever had! He didn't let Andre have even a moments rest, the moment he entered the camp Baklao was standing on top of his gate leading into the inner sanctum, pelting Andre with bombs as his minions attacked from all sides. It took alot out of Andre before Baklao was killed and that was only because of Andre cornering him! At which point Baklao laughed and blew HIMSELF UP for gods sake! It's why Andre is laying in a crater at the moment, waiting for his regen to kick in. At least each of them gave him one or two levels when he killed them.
With a pained groan Andre sat up as his flesh mended, slowly as he got himself an alert popped up in front of his face.
ALERT: BOSS OF THE DUNGEON HAS BEEN UNLOCKED!
With that alert a pillar of light shot up into the sky from the center of the forest, telling Andre where the boss is. Grunting Andre heft his Greataxe to his shoulder with one hand and readies Heart Piercer in the other before he pressed onwards towards the final boss of this floor.
The way forward was quiet, calm, almost tranquil in its peace but given that the boss has appeared that peace wouldn't last long.
At the center of the forest was a massive hollowed out tree, approaching the tree I could spot several archers on the fungus growing off the tree. As Andre got closer they watched as he approached, none dared to fire an arrow though Andre didn't know why. Upon entering Andre stepped to the side as a body flew past, its head missing, looking in the direction the body came from Andre was greeted by the sight of a hulking mass of… fat?
The Gluttonous General: Obloggi: Lv: 50
The boss was a hulking mass of fat, literally it(?) was a literal ball of fat its legs, arms and head were short while its chest was abnormally massive, round and well fat. Taking a step forward Obloggi's head spun at frighteningly speed, Andre winced when he heard the crack of its neck, it stared at Andre with undisguised hunger. With drool dripping from its grotesque mouth it leaped with great speed, surprising Andre with its speed, who then dodged as the massive blob of fat that is Obloggi tore through the small entrance of the hollowed out tree with ease.
Readying himself, Andre was prepared this time when Obloggi came back, swinging his Greataxe, Andre watched with wide eyes as the Greataxe couldn't cut into the flesh of Obloggi. Obloggi smashed into Andre, crushing him to the ground before bouncing into the air and landing on the other side of the arena. Grunting Andre rises to his feet as Obloggi charges again, Andre with some quick thinking throws his Greataxe at Obloggi before preparing as Obloggi smashed into him yet again.
Yet this time something was different, as Obloggi yelled in pain as he jumped away, blood flowing out of a hole in his stomach. Andre with blood leaking down his face held Heart Piercer in front of him at the ready for another charge, yet he was surprised yet again when Obloggi screeched at him and bounced higher up to the upper levels of the hollowed out tree. A long moment of silence passed before Obloggi came back down, only this time he came armed.
Wielding two massive butcher knives as weapons, each serrated and glinting with malicious intent, Obloggi charged but this time it was different. The charge wasn't him leaping at Andre, oh no it was Obloggi Rolling at Andre, using his knives to gain traction in one spot to pick up speed before charging. Andre dodged the first charge but that's when things got strange as Obloggi bounced off the wall behind Andre before launching itself at him!
Cursing Andre charged, the Heart Piercer glowing as he did just as Obloggi brought its knives to bare, an explosion occurred clouding everything from view.
From the cloud Obloggi emerged missing a knife, a massive hole the size of a man's torso in its midsection, its mind abuzz with wrath and gluttony at the one to wound it. When the cloud cleared Obloggi grinned at the sight before it…
…Andre sat there on his knees, one of Obloggi's Knives stuck in the right side of his chest, blood pouring out at a rapid rate, in his left hand lies Heart Piercer, or what's left of it anyways. Obloggi waddled over, reaching out and lifting Andre by his neck as his mouth dislocated and stretched before throwing Andre's body inside, before closing it. Just as Obloggi began to chew it immediately tried to spit Andre back out! When it couldn't its hands tried to reach for its neck but due to the shortness of its arms it couldn't reach. Inside of Obloggi's mouth was Andre, bleeding profusely but alive, currently stabbing the remains of Heart Piercer into the back of Obloggi's mouth. Obloggi's body went still before going slack, unable to move but alive, Andre's hand popped out of Obloggi's mouth before pressing Obloggi's jaw down, stretching its mouth down as Andre fell out.
Grunting Andre rose to his knees, his hands empty as he tried to dislodge Obloggi's knife, all the while Obloggi watched, groaning and moaning. Finally with a grunt of exertion Andre managed to pull the blade free falling back as he did, panting Andre quickly summoned four wood golems, they split into two groups, one dragged Klavic's Greataxe to Andre while the other climbed on top of Obloggi attacking its limbs, arms, legs and head. As Andre's flesh mended he watched as the wood golems who brought him his Greataxe soon joined the second group in the attack of Obloggi.
Looking around the area Andre spotted most of the remains of Heart Piercer, walking over he picked up the remains and placed them in his inventory with his Greataxe. Turning Andre gave a motion with his hand and the golems backed off, one of them prying Obloggi's remaining knife, bringing it to Andre.
Bringing both blades to bare Andre could appreciate the charm they held, though given the expression Obloggi was making at Andre handling his knives he didn't appreciate it. Walking forward Andre nodded and gestured to Obloggi, causing the golems to act once more. All four golems leapt at Obloggi, two each grabbing an arm and pulling Obloggi to the ground where Andre could meet him eye to eye.
"Well, aren't you one ugly sonuva bitch…" Andre said, staring at the gluttonous blob that was Obloggi, even now his eyes held a never ending hunger. Shaking his head Andre hopped onto Obloggi's back and kneeled, placing both knives at each side of Obloggi's neck, with a use of [Cleave] Andre separated Obloggi's head, sending it flying into the distance.

Nodding his head Andre decided to call it a night and leave the dungeon, cause on the morrow he not only gets his armor from Alvor, he also gets to make the journey to Whiterun and he's got a feeling he's gonna need the rest.
A/N: Chapter End!
Not gonna lie, this felt a lot easier now that I got my muse back on track… for now… At least I hope it stays on track but given my track record I wouldn't bet on it. -_-
Anyways! If you have a suggestion leave it in the comments below, all are welcome to give their opinions… except flamers. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
