Trailed Gulum-Ei to the East Empire Company Warehouse, and boy howdy was that a challenging sneak took me a few times to make it through this part.

Bribing Gulum-Ei required me to duck into the Blue Palace and steal a case of Firebrand Wine I was able to walk right out the front door with it, and nobody yelled at me, lol.

Boinged back to Solitude to run the Scoundrel’s Folly plot for the Thieves Guild, which required me to meet up with Gulum-Ei at the Winking Skeever and question him about Goldenglow Estate’s buyer.

Dismissed Jenassa at this point because I knew I was going to do Thieves Guild stuff next and I needed to work alone for that she had an interesting line when I dismissed her, which makes me think she gets Merawen, and makes it more likely I’ll actually rehire her!.

Since I built up enough money and ingredients to both buy good Resist Cold potions and make some, I returned to Mount Anthor and this time actually killed that dragon.

Saw the intro scene that leads into the Wolf Queen plot, but am not ready to follow up on that yet.Clearing Broken Oar Grotto and concluding Jaree-Ra’s plot line also let me clear the pending bounty on the bandit leader, so I went to the Blue Palace to collect that bounty from Falk Firebeard had to Whirlwind Sprint my way back to Solitude, since I was overloaded and didn’t have any more Strength potions.Also discovered Brinewater Grotto’s front entrance on the way to Broken Oar Grotto, which meant that the two lairs involving sketchy Argonians and bandits were pretty much right next door to each other, lol.Went past Folgunthur on the way to the wreck, and I need that location for the Forbidden Legend quest, so it was good to get that onto my map.Wound up killing a dragon on the way to the wreck of the Icerunner, since Jenassa and I had to swim over to the eastern side of the water to get to where we needed to be.Took Jenassa with me to Solitude to run the Lights Out quest, which involved the sketchy Argonian who hangs out by the apothecary and who kept going “I’ve got a little work if you’re interested, traveler”.

Also finally bought Breezehome! Though it’s not furnished yet.Finally did Adrianne’s mini-quest to take a sword for the Jarl up to her father at Dragonsreach, just to boost her disposition.Had to clear Embershard Mine a second time to get Runil’s journal, and got a lot of loot out of that, so I spent a little time selling off some of that in Falkreath and then the rest of it in Whiterun.Went to Falkreath to finish off becoming a thane there did the same three favor quests that Alarrah did, delivering ashes to Runil, then getting Runil’s journal, and stealing a letter out of Lod’s house for Dengeir Rayya is now housecarl number two.This was a very eventful session, as I got some important side things done and moved the main Thieves Guild plot a little further along!
