The... [sighs] Just how are these hills?
I've never seen hills as rugged as these.
Well, putting that aside,
it's the 18th episode.
I'm amidst a journey with someone who is obviously one of the Blades.
And incidentally, I, am Hagu.
This episode will consist mostly of this journey for the sake of killing a dragon,
(what the heck are you doing)
so, I'd like you all to sit back and relax for the first time in a while.
Yes, I AM readying a spell, but,
RELAX!
Relax.
Everything's OK! Relax.
Ah, but there's still somebody here.
Did I or did I not tell you to relax?!
Whoops, pardon me, Miss Delphine.
That attack appeared to stab you as well.
Well, anyway- let's get back to our leisurely enjoyment of the nature of Skyrim.
It certainly is summer now. Man, it is hot...
Mmm, roger that.
But since I'm always on the lookout for usable alchemy ingredients and souls,
I'd like you to have a little patience with me.
I'm still sick, after all!
But looking at this scenery reminds me of western Washington.
Well... perhaps the scenery in Canada would be more similar.
Washington's not this brown...
Hey! Aren't you always the one telling us to hurry?
Ngah! I see.
J'zargo's still in the way.
I sure do want that sword.
Stupid bear!
This Daedric sword is insanely strong, but
thanks to the bug I showed off in the 12th episode, I should be able to make any equipment work for me.
Did you already say that?
Looks like... Looks like these folks are having themselves a good time.
It's only the afternoon! What the heck are you doing!
Sure, thanks.
Ah, whoops. The scrollwheel...
Already found it.
I haven't the slightest what kind of flavor is has, but let me answer that generosity.
And yet Aunt Delphine says nothing about this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What! Why, you! Thank makes us enemies!
Ah, I see you didn't care for that.
Whatever, fine, do as you see fit.
Finally.
Ah, finally found one of you.
That good! That makes us allies!
For a Breton, business is first.
[monotone] Is that so. Wow.
Sure she'll strike up conversation, but she's not that interesting to listen to.
Hmm... The weather appears to be changing.
[text] What fabulous irony
Gaaaah, there's a stupid bear over there.
Ho! There was a sort of shockwave thing in front of my hands.
Uhaaayyyee?!
Suddenly appearing dragon corpses do crop up every now and then, don't they.
Makes you wonder how they died.
Ah, this time we've got spiders coming after us.
But Miss Delphine was perfectly fine.
Stronger prey awaited her.
Hmm, indeed.
What?! Eh-
I see. Your version of "how do you do" involves switching out people's important stuff for a message that reads "I need to see you."
That is indeed a bad habit.
What's that orc doing over there?
What? Alcohol?
Skooma?! Why, you...
Wha-?
Moon sugar...
Um, now people, this is purely for medicinal purposes.
I've got enough addictions over in New Vegas.
Aunt Delphine kindly kept quiet about this matter as well.
Feels like we should be arriving soon.
It was a fairly long trip, but it seems like we're finally arriving at Kynesgrove.
Ah, th- hmm?
J'zargo, where were you-
[muffled laughter]
What's with that intonation?
Where's the dragon?
Well, I can see it, but...
Then I suppose it would be best to [singing] run away!
Now then, prepare for [singing] COM-BAT!
Hoho. This guy looks mighty big.
Yeah, I know.
Hey now, don't speak like some coarse-mouthed [singing] fi-sherman!
It's a dragon, not a salmon.
This... this dragon looks...
This dragon looks like Alduin!
I'm not supposed to be fighting Alduin already!
Well... call it a chance, then.
Let's give it a go.
Quicksave complete! I'm going in!
Eat it, Alduin!
Ah... no effect-
AAAAAAAAAAA
I see. I've got to deal with you first.
Okay!
This spell is FAR TOO WEAK-!
Now then, first let's pick the right shout for the task-
Okay! Well...
I think that I'll let them talk, this time.
Yeah, "dov do," "hi hi hi."
Dang it, he figured it out.
That's enough! Go away!
Now, our REAL target is this...
dragon, Sahloknir.
HEEEY! That's just mean!
[sigh]
[momentarily resumes singing Prelude from The Sound of Music]
All righty then.
It's showtime!
No screwing around this time, let's use Thunderbolt.
What IS this shout?
It's every bit as violent as a master-level spell.
Ah. Looks like it's time.
That's strange.
How did he die?
What IS it, lady?
In all probability, Lightning Storm takes effect
before its visual effect appears.
But using Thunderbolt sure made for a lame fight.
Ah, I'm just here to kill a dragon, you know.
Well, anyway.
WHO ARE YOU?!
See, I knew it.
The Blades have always been a fan club for Japanese swords, so it was clear as day.
I'll give you a dang purpose.
Go boot out these uppity elves from office!
Well, I might need the help. What do we do?
You saw him too right? It's Alduin, right?
Thalmor, huh.
This smells like an interesting adventure.
Why Thalmor?
Surely you're joking.
That war should have ended long ago.
With YOU FAILING.
Looks like we're not done talking.
Ah, see, this does sound interesting.
And how?
Yes! Mission complete.
Now then, while we're waiting, let's also wrap up the Greybeard's quest.
I... I take it there's something interesting, here?
Hooray.
It's "Dragon-BORN," so why do we need to go through this rigmarole?
J'zargo, outta-the-way.
It's not like I'm becoming the Dragonborn now.
Guess I'll dry my boots.
Let's get this over with, grandpa!
I didn't think they'd teach this to me, too!
This time, I'll be looking square at the floor.
Okay!
And this time, let's NOT use a Dragon soul, and accept the old guy's knowledge.
But you know, I hear that if you use a dragon soul before they pass over their knowledge with good timing,
you'll be able to learn the next word in the shout at the same time.
It seems like...
they're up to something strange-
What... what is this?
This movement is somewhat... lacking, but
if only baptisms were this exciting.
Are you all satisfied?
Ah! You're still not finished?!
Hey, Wulfgar, your voice is too loud!
So, you're finally done.
Which means that I can finally shout the whole "FUS RO DAH."
Right then, J'zargo...
Stand right there.
Okay! With [laughs] that out of the way, let's forget about the exploding scrolls mess.
Having settled that, the next episode promises to be something of a stealth mission.
Look forward to it!
