[Skyrim: Dragonborn] Part 2 - Off to Sky Haven We Go!


Have a rate of a little more than one dragon attack per hour of gameplay so far. Just got two within a couple minutes of one another, one of them an Elder Dragon and the other named (Vuljotnaak). I also learned how easy it is to take on a Forsworn camp when you have six companions with you, once you include Meeko and my horse.

Why, hello, fellow Companions? Want to join my party of six excluding me?
On my way to Sky Haven, I ran into a couple of Companions killing a Saber Tooth. Wonder whether the Saber Tooth was the cause of the dead horse and Khajiit a bit down the road, and also whether there was a trap next to them because my honorable fellows were using the dead bodies as bait for this thing. After a brief exchange ("I killed a bear the other day. What have you killed lately?" "Oh, just two dragons within the last couple minutes, and another about an hour ago." "..." "Their souls were tasty."), I met up with Esbern and Delphine, slaughtered an entire camp of Forworn, and entered Karthspire.

The Sky Haven Temple is absolutely stunning, and the bas-reliefs are just beautiful. Going to have to take some time considering who to give to the Blades. I'm considering Aela, but I don't think she's Imperalist enough. Though she might support an Empress if the Empress just so happened to be Dragonborn.

After a bit, I fast traveled over to High Hrothgar, nearly punched those apathetic jerks in the throat, and then moved on with a few more shouts to meet Paarthurnax.

No, I wasn't terrified out of my mind about the dragon an inch away from my head. Why do you ask?

After that, I finished up Throat of the World and went to Windstad Manor so that I could drop off some things before heading to Solstheim. A courier met met me there to tell me about the alchemist in Windhelm needing more help with his phial, but that sumbitch can live with his pain for a while because I'm done with this-- one more stop in Markarth, then I'm heading to Windhelm to catch me a boat!
