  Dungeon: Movarth's Lair

  

   Set-Up:

  • Melee:Steel Battleaxe of Bitter Cold
  • Magic School: Conjuration and Restoration
  • Ranged: Ancient Nord Bow of Bitter Cold
  • Armor: Steel Imperial Gauntlets(Fine), Steel Cuffed Boots(Fine), Steel Armor (Fine), Imperial Officer's Helmet, Amulet of Kynareth(+10 Stamina), Silver Ring (+24 Magicka)

  • Companion: Faendal: Steel Set, Orcish Battleaxe of Weariness, Imperial Bow with Iron Arrows

   First Thoughts:

  • I was sent here by the jarl of Morthal to defeat the master vampire hiding inside and complete Laid to Rest. 

  • After completing this quest I will be made Thane of Morthal.
  • This "dungeon" is FULL of vampires!

    Note1: I do not recommend entering this "dungeon" before recieving this quest
     due to the fact that you'll be going at it alone instead of with the extra
     follower.
    Note2: Movarth's Boots cannot be disenchanted.
    Note3: The spiders in the first room cannont climb the ramps.

   Play-By-Play:

  • This quest is going to be so difficult, 100hp, 124(with ring) Magicka, 200(with amulet) Stamina... On Master difficulty, and I'm only level 10... oh goodness.
  • Well good news, I met up with what seemed like the entire village outside, and they're coming to assist me.
  • I doubt they'll last the entire "dungeon."
  • I'm at the entrance now, it's so spooky.
  • Well the town just abandoned me, except one guy, but I had to convince him to come with me.

  • The first room is full of spiders, but I should be able to get the jump on them with my bow.

  • The stupid follower gave away my position, but the spiders didn't live long enough to cause a problem.

  • This follower is a problem...... The thrall in the next room was in perfect position when dick-bag came sprinting up and blocked my path... I was nearly killed.

  • I'm calling him dick-bag from now on...
  • Dick-bag gave me away again, luckily I was able to kill the Thrall.
  • The room that thrall was in was full of clothes and shoes, weird... not to mention the pit with bodies in it.

  • Dick-bag, bringing of vampires pulled two vampires and a reanimated thrall... I want to kill him.

  • He won't die...
  • After running around in circles I killed all of the Vampire Guards and now I only need to kill Movarth.

  • Movarth is down after a fairly easy fight... Dick-bag didn't help, but Faendal did.

  • I don't know where Dick-bag is now, but continuing straight from the boss room I found an alchemy table.

  • Searching around in here also yeilded a chest, it was hidden in a VERY dark area of the room.

  • Dick-bag was in a room with Alva(from the quest), she's dead now and was a vampire.

  • She's carrying an item I've never seen before. (I'm adding her to the Chests/Bosses)

  • Continuing on I found a skillbook and Morkarth's Boots.
  • I'm not sure if they're unique, but I also found a pair of Stormcloak Officer Boots.

  • Heading to the right side of the room now...
  • Found another Thrall, this one is an archer, and he took off most of my hp(I only have 100hp) 
  • After killing him I found another chest in the room.

  • Continuing up the path from here leads to the main room(before Movarth)
  • Dick-bag is waiting in the room with Alva, so maybe I need to talk to him.
  • As usual, nothing to say, I have to return to the Jarl.
  • Another dungeon complete.
