Whipstache\’s Journey
Through Skyrim

Issue #10 Last Night: I just found out the DLC let’s you ride dragons! Bend your knee to me, ferocious beast of power! I am Dovahkiin, destroyer of worlds, consumer of hope and light. The daedra tremble at my name, and empires rise and fall at my whim! I shall soar through the skies on […]

Issue #9 Character Sheet Update: Made Irrelevant Last Night: So, this one’s a doozy. I accidentally discovered a bug (feature?) that transformed me from skilled mortal into an indestructible god, capable of rending in twain the fabric of space and time.  I was going to make some potions, to try to create the best armor […]

Issue #8 Character Sheet Update: Level 36. Enchanting to 92, Smithing to 70. Last Night: I find out a guy named Septimus Severino (approx.) knows where there’s an Elder Scroll.  Finds Severus Snape. “Hey, September, where’s the Scroll??” Sbarro responds in extreme Monty Python Bridge Troll voice. S: “Ah, you must travel through the seven […]

Issue #7 Character Sheet Update: Leveled up to 35. Saving my perk for level 70 smithing when I’ll be able to make glass armor & weapons. Last Night: In a short play session, I had one fun moment when I was harvesting mammoth souls for enchanting…  I just picked up the Summon Frost Atronach and […]

Issue #6 Character Sheet Update: Leveled to 34, Smithing skill to 60. Last Night: Spent the evening primarily mining iron ore (after once again spending the night in jail to fix an animation glitch that prevented me from doing anything that required using a station), transmuting iron to gold, and smithing. Highlight of the session […]

Issue #5 Character Sheet Update: Leveled to 33. Saving my perk point for when I get smithing to 60, so I can enchant improved armor. Last Night: Success! I got the Black Star! Then, went sunken-tower spelunking for necromancers. Got the Black Star. Took it to Necaris, or whatever his name is, so he could […]

Issue #4 Character Sheet Update: made it to Level 32 (Smithing to level 50). Spent the perk on Scale Armor. Last Night: Got my glitch sorted out by punching a guard, getting thrown in jail, and sleeping off my 40-septum bounty. Then I spent some time smithing about 100 gold rings (thanks again, Transmute spell), […]

Issue #3 Character Sheet Update: Reached level 31. Spent the Perk on getting Alchemy to 60% improvement. Got Smithing to level 49, so next perk will be in scale armor. Last Night: Took the Pale for the Empire, by tracking down a Stormcloak courier, murdering him, changing his documents to mislead the Stormcloak generals, and […]

Issue #2 Character Sheet Update: I raised my Alchemy skill to level 60, which bumped me to level 30 overall. Last Night: I had to do a quest before I could buy Proudspire Manor, which involved stopping a bunch of necromancers and their Draugr from performing a ritual to resurrect a daedric princess…? (At this […]

Issue #1 A few weeks ago, I decided to give myself permission to rest. I’d been nose to the grindstone for a while, and every time I got a few moments that weren’t already devoted to something, I filled them with freelance work or chores or even personal projects. All things that cost energy. I […]
