The rest of the journey to Ivarstead went without incident. I ended up telling Lester how I came to be in Skyrim, of the disaster that was Auridon and he did look quite horrified when he realised what he’d done involving a Thalmor in the hunt for me. We’ve also been discussing the dragon situation. …

28 more bandits
Well there’s nothing like a long protracted fight through a blockade to help thaw a frosty attitude! I had previously apologised on the road, which was met indifferently but I kept up a steady stream of chatter and his attitude had finally started to thaw when we came across the “toll road”. There were quite…
27 treasure
[vaguely in-character diary of my playthrough | all entries | mods I’m using] We were attacked by a dragon, it seems we travelled too close to its lair. He was guarding an enormous treasure chest – I love this part! We do make a good team, Lester basically annoys the dragon (he has a talent…
25 thalmor
I’m now travelling south with Lester, towards Ivarstead. He caught up with me yet again, this time with a Thalmor in tow! That was a meeting I wanted over very quickly. Part of the reason I ran to Skyrim was that the Thalmor only have a small presence here… Anyway, this Thalmor mage has been…
24 dawnstar
The museum of Dawnstar was incredibly disappointing – seems to be more of a front to lure adventurers in to collect pieces of a daedric weapon than an actual museum. I’ve had enough of Daedric Princes and politely declined. I did, however, help a priest put an end to the nightmares plaguing the town. It…
23 a new tent
My new fur tent was an amazing investment! It actually keeps me warm, even on the North coast! Lester had gone from the path by the time I returned – I think I must have finally convinced him. Even so, I’ve decided to take the scenic route back to Riften – I’m travelling to Dawnstar…
22 Solitude (the town not the state of being unfortunately)
The job went well, well sort of. I hadn’t planned on having a hulking, blond Nord blunder about behind me while I’m trying to be discreet. I don’t know how he managed to follow me, I tried to shake him a number of times but he’s proving remarkably persistent and remarkably adept – there is…
21 really?
Lester found me in Riften. I didn’t think he would come after me. He’s staying at The Bee & Barb and wants me to go to the Greybeards. He’s refusing to leave until I agree so I’m avoiding him for now. It’s very awkward. I am thinking about using my status as Thane to get…
