The Nightmother had told me to meet a man named Amaund to get a contract from him. Astrid, however, said to ignore the Nightmother's wish and just go on a different contract. Cursing at Astrid I decided to ignore her request and follow the TRUE leader of the DB's wishes instead. I had no idea if it would work for i'd never tried doing anything like it in my life. So while Astrid thought I was leaving the DB sanctuary to do her bidding, I was really heading off in the direction of the ruins that the man Amaund was hiding in.
I arrived and didn't realize where I was until I saw the familiar form of the seated skeleton just inside the entrance. OH shoot! I thought..However he proved to be easy to sneak past. Further into the ruins a curious and somewhat disturbing sight met me. I was creeping along when I realized the ruins were unusually quiet. This usually means trouble! But then I saw this:
Dead enemies all over the place! Why were they dead?! Did something kill them? Did some events happen triggered by my actions that caused this? Or is this an unforseen game glitched cause by one of my mods? I felt a little creeped out by it all. Doubly creepy was that one of the dead enemies was a very TOUGH enemy called a Gloom Wraith. This is one that made the fur on the back of my neck stand on end because if it had been alive I surely would be at it's mercy. I'm not yet strong enough to stand a chance against a gloom wraith. He was carrying a very powerful blade which I traded my left handed blade for. Now my blades are mismatched but i'm stronger!
Here is the man I was to meet. I was greatful to see he was there even though I was not yet supposed to be. He gave me the contract and all went well! In the normal storyline my next task would be to give his contract to Astrid so she can tell me what to do with it, so back to the DB sanctuary I went!
I came accross a very curious sight. A skeleton arm is sticking out of the water of a rather shallow pond holding a sword. I rushed forth to have a look at the sword because this setting makes it look VERY important! Alas.. it was a weak, crap sword. I liked the way this scene looked so I just left it there without touching anything. Apparently the skeleton itself is buried in the mud. I wonder what events happened to cause this? Who was this skeleton at one point? Was he even a man before?
A dragon decided to attack on the way and while I've never successfully killed a dragon by myself I figured it was time to get some practice in with my new blade! Unfortunately I didn't have the pleasure because the dragon never landed to fight me.
As night was falling and my approach of the sanctuary came two dragons flew in the distance, threatening me with their thundering voices. I have to admit it did make my fur bristle.
As soon as I reached the sanctuary I greeted Astrid and tried to tell her of the news of Amaund, but she would not hear any of it. The quest would not let me progress this way. Bummed, my next task is to prepare for Astrid's contracts.
