Don't Mess with My Clannfear - A brief, but (slightly) humorous ES tale.

• Posted by RuneRed October 25, 2011 - 535 views

  Back when I was playing Oblivion, I had an Argonion that was a mage, “She-who-cast-spells”. I would often refer to her as my wizard-lizard.  I had worked out a combination of conjuration magic, along with stealth that was making her quite formidable.

  I realized that once my conjuration made it to expert (75), then I would become quite powerful, indeed.  Why?  Summon Clannfear.   I was quite excited when my conjuration hit 75, and putting everything else aside, I headed straight to the mage’s hall in Chorrol.

  Once inside, I purchased said spell, and decided to cast it straight away, just to see.  The instant I cast the spell, the newly summoned creature turned and attacked – slightly to my right rear.  As soon as this happened, all the mages began casting spells.  My first thought was “Oh no, the game glitched, my stupid clannfear just started attacking my friends at the mages guild.”  I was thankful that the game had recently autosaved.  But the fighting stopped as soon as it had begun.  On the ground, lay the body of Avidius – a corrupt watchman that I had previously turned over to the authorities.  He had recently escaped and tracked me down, in an attempt to kill me, but had been dispatched by my clannfear, before he could even strike a blow.  I had known that a clannfear was going to be awesome - I just didn't realize it was going to be that awesome.
