Chapter 21: Morthal! PT.1
Chapter 21 - Morthal! PT.1In the dreamscape I tapped my foot. Two new things have been added. The first were the achievements. So I could see it here too. I actually had a new common achievement. The achievement was Awaken a sleeping Hist Tree. It didn't mean much to me. After all it gave no additional benefits.
The second thing that was added was actually a skill tree. Though completely useless to me though. It was the Werebeast Skill Tree. It had its own perk points that shined above the skill tree as a glowing number. The number was zero, so it was useless to me.
With that however, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I instantly selected the passive effect Hircine's surprise. With conversion it didn't turn into a spell, but instead a power. One usable like the one given by Hircine's ring. The power was called Hircine's hunt. The power was, actually wonderful. Hircine's hunt tracked my 'prey' for a period of 4 days.
It seemed to have many limitations. It was nonetheless great! I had something else I wanted to test. The passive effect I got from the other player Morth. He had danger sense and I was given that effect. I converted it to a spell. I was left a little disappointed, but at the same time happy. I received the spell Detect.
It was a master level spell. Meaning I couldn't use the damn thing. It burned 345 mana per second! So fuck all useless. However it didn't just detect the living, it detected the undead, constructs, and magical entities.
I thought for a second. I tried to select the power given to me by the ring. I jumped when a notification appeared.
{Unable to convert!}
So I was left a little saddened. Could I not convert item abilities? Perhaps I didn't have enough dream mana? I gave a shrug. I was left to disturbed some perk points. I had three of them. So I chucked them into the Speechcraft.
Once that was done. For once I decided to just exit through the door. I snapped away the moment I left through the door. In fact I actually felt pretty good. Except for the fact Morthal was truly and awful place. Swamps were already terrible, an artic swamp was even worse. I guess its actually a marsh. Waking up in the Inn, I felt sticky, I felt a little cold. It was awful.
I checked my profile and sure enough I had a new passive effect. It was a temporary one though called Restful sleep. It lasted 10 hours and for those 10 hours I would have increased experience gain.
I got up and entered the main portion of the Inn. Jonna waved ,"Good afternoon sleepy head!" Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I waved, "Good afternoon."
Jonna gave me a room free. So I tried to be extra friendly. We made a deal for my room. I just had to get rid of Lurbuk. I needed to pass the time until the night. So I walked over to an Orc man cleaning a flute. "You are Lurbuk?"
He looked up, his face brightened. "A new face! Such a welcome sight in dreary old Morthal. Welcome friend, welcome! You have something to say?"
I rubbed my neck, Lurbuk was incredible optimistic and upbeat Orc. In fact he is incredibly different from normal Orcs. I new most of his background as you eventually kill him in the dark brotherhood. "I don't wish to be rude, but I believe you should go to the bard's college in Solitude. You are... A terrible bard."
Lurbuk sighed, "Not you too! Ah, yeah. I try my best to practice on my own. However I just can't seemed to please anyone."
I nodded, "You uh, aren't like most orcs either are you? Exiled?"
Lurbuk looked down, "Uh, yes. I d-"
I grabbed his shoulder, "I get it man. Look, as a traveler I hear a lot of rumors. Your is Lurbuk gro-Dushnikh, right"
His eyes widened, "I, uh... Look I don't know that name."
I gave a more serious look. "Lurbuk, I heard a rumor. Not a good one. A rumor about an Orc Burguk gro-Dushnikh preforming the black sacrament. Do you understand what I am saying Lurbuk."
He blink, "Father... He..." Lurbuk sighed, "He would." Lurbuk looked at me and studied my face. "Wh-what would you suggest? You are the one telling me this after all."
I nodded, "You know how to fight as an Orc right?"
Lurbuk nodded, "Yes, I was trained from a child. Just like every Orc from a stronghold."
I gave a look of understanding. "Look Lurbuk, Go to Solitude. Learn from the bards college. If you want to truly become a good bard. That's the place to become one in skyrim. If they don't accept you. Ask them about lost instruments. More than a few of those bards have traveled across Skyrim and have lost a instrument or two. If you can fight, use that ability to impress them and learn from them."
Lurbuk nodded, "Right. That would... That would work. Thank you! H-however that doesn't solve the..."
When he paused in thought I responded. "You think the dark brotherhood will hunt you across skyrim? They are barely willing to go to Solitude thanks to the war. The dark brotherhood may have a contract on you. However they are weak in skyrim, and you can survive if you are careful and smart. Live long enough... and maybe they will die out."
I gave him a big grin. He smile back, "Thanks, uh..."
"Vek Frostwane."
He smiled, "Thank you, Vek! I will follow what you say, truth be told I suspect people here in Morthal do not like me."
With hat he got up, "Jonna I'll be packing up! Wish me luck!"
Jonna's eyes widened she gave a big smile to me and Lurbuk. "No problem! I'll see you out Lurbuk!"
With that I left the Inn. Watching as I got a notification.
{Speech craft 41}
I even leveled up. I needed more perk points though...
