   Dungeon: Fort Greenwall

  

   Set-Up:

  • Melee: Steel Battleaxe of Bitter Cold
  • Magic School: Conjuration/Restoration
  • Ranged: Dwarven Bow of Arching with Dwarven Arrows
  • Armor: Imperial Officer's Helmet, Amulet of Kynareth, Silver Ruby Ring, Steel Armor Set(Minus Helmet)
  • Companion: Lydia: Steel Armor Set, Steel Battleaxe

   First Thoughts:

  • Another Fort for the Civil War quests The Battle for Fort Greenwall/Reunification of Skyrim.
  • This area is divided into four parts: Fort Greenwall(Exterior), Fort Greenwall(Interior), Fort Greenwall Captain's Quarters, and Fort Greenwall Prison.

  • The "dungeon" is populated by bandits(assorted types) if the quests are not in your log.

     Note1: The small barricades around the outside wall can be destroyed, allowing for "covered"    entrances.

     Note2: The chest in Fort Greenwall Captain's Quarters seems to always have magical items.

     Note3: From now on my "Set-Up" will be a link to the table of contents and title page, but will still    give a brief explanation of my gear.

   Play-By-Play:

  • Lydia and I arrive around six, while the sun is just peaking over the mountains.
  • Just enough light to make out the bandit patrols, and still dark enough to keep us hidden.
  • The Thug near the entrance hears me coming and investigates, but before I can get into cover, Lydia engages him.
  • The orc is wearing heavy armor, and makes for a tough fight; the archer on the wall isn't helping our cause.
  • After the orc falls I draw back an arrow and pick off the pesky archer.
  • Not sure of how many bandits heard the battle, I summon my atronach and heal my wounds.
  • My atronach's flames destroy the wooden barrier and allow Lydia an I to engage the Thug archer directly.
  • He yields as the head of my axe comes down on his collar.
  • Lydia and I send the last bandit to Sovengarde; time to have a look around.
  • We find a forge and workbench, but not much else.
  • I decide on going through the fort interior before entering the prison; you never know what you'll find down there.
  • Upon entering we overhear a conversation between a thug and, a stronger, highwayman. 
  • So far it sounds like only two enemies, but I summon the atronach to be safe.
  • A third bandit jumps into battle, but as the highwayman downs my atronach it explodes, burning everything.
  • Lydia and I take advantage of this and lay our blades into their crippled bodies.
  • The next room sheds light on how ruthless these bandits are; two butchered, Khajiit merchants are piled on top of their caravan like trash.

  • We can overhear an orc mumbling to himself, his actions will not go unpunished.
  • His armor melts as my atronach's flame burns him alive.
  • A thug comes down the stairs and catches me in the back with an arrow; a close call.
  • The bandit archer takes her last breaths as Lydia swings her axe.
  • We head down to the kitchen to find the chef murdered infront of his over.
  • Though Lydia and I don't feel right doing it, we need the supplies and take what we need from the shelves.
  • We continue up the stairs and find a smoke filled room that leads back outside. 
  • Time for the prison....
  • A thug and low-level bandit greet us with their blades as we enter, but my atronach and axe make short work of these savages.

  • The room to our right is filled with barrels; a few apples for a stew.
  • We continue on....
  • Going down the stairs we find a doorway blocked with webs... I hate spiders.
  • Two giant spiders emerge from their webs and Lydia and I are forced to deal with them.
  • A wooden door(adept) is directly to our left, and behind it is our first chest.
  • Bandits lie dead near egg sacks; I can only guess why.
  • Lydia and I make our way back up the stairs and continue through the prison.
  • A door atop the stairs leads to the captain's quarters; anything to get out of this place.
  • We pass through the door and can hear a bandit singing about his plan to kill his leader, scum.
  • My arrow strikes him in the throat before he can finish his song.
  • The chief heard him fall and comes charging.
  • My atronarch emerges from its plane of Oblivion and ignites the bandit leader's flesh.
  • Our axes finish off the orc and she falls like the bandits before her.
  • I pray at the Altar to Stendarr in the hallway and feel a weight lifted from my shoulders, my disease is cured.
  • Lydia and I head down the hall and find a room with a large iron chest, and a ladder(Expert) leading back outside.
  • After looting the chest my companion and I head back to the surface.
