    Brave guy, lol. My Bell is afraid to even travel to another city alone, let alone enter some cave))  What is Ostium's current goal? Does he want something specific or just wandering around?

    I'll write about the adventure in the cave tonight. Found some interesting things

    That's what I'm talking about))) Caves are dangerous)) Well, I was a bit surprised that he doesn't know how to skin animals, it's sort of a basic skill. But then I thought about his childhood and realized that he didn't have a chance to learn that. He can learn in Skyrim, no?

    I don't know what to do with the Dark Brotherhood. It would make sense if one got some skills for it too, since it's a big questline.

    i just need someone to teach him. For example A Hunter. He will Travel across Skyrim learning things here and there.

     He has no idea of Skyrim or the Beasts in it. worst thing he saw as a Child was a Goblin so he wont know Charus or Sabertooths. He wants to explore He is young, finally Free to do what and go where he wants and no one will take that from him. 

    Im also Roleplaying that i can only pick certain perks when i get them explained to me by a Teacher. For example the Sneak Skill Light Foot, You won't trigger pressure plates. I would need to learn a way to not activate Traps from someone who is a Dungeon Delver or Mechanic ^^ 

    I havent even thought about Factions up to now, ^^ I also encounterd a bug which will make for a funny part in the Entry :D

    He could teach himself. By trial and error))) You don't need a teacher for everything.

    Well, he is young. My Bell is 73 and comes from a culture that reads 10 books before doing anything. But she wouldn't dare to deal with a saber cat, even though she knows some Destruction. She has basic survival skills because she has been traveling a lot, however, she is still more of a city person. The Light Foot perk is far beyond her reach now, she only has the basic Sneak skill and some Pickpocket. Speech is her main and at first all of her perks will go into that.

    True but he would rather rather learn it first before he goes arround massacering animal cadavers :DHe is more of a secluded/ Small village person ^^ 

    He would never engage something bigger than a Wolf right now :D 

    Right now he just wants to explore this New World, He was kept inside the House most of the Time. So being able to explore Skyrim, Meet new people and Make friends without having his Father Breath down his Neck is like a Dream coming True. ^^ 

    I might even have him climb up to High Hrothgar to make up his Mind about a Goal for him ^^ 

    Im enjoying this Character alot :D

    Well, I considered posting more of Adar's adventure (a quick trip to Whiterun, his return to Riverwood, some mild adventuring in the woods, and his trek to Bleak Falls), but he met his demise fighting bandits outside of Bleak Falls.  Since I was merging this challenge with the Grimoire challenge, his adventure came to an end.  Thus, I will forgo his last journal entry.  Obviously, using unarmed combat with master difficulty and the Wildcat combat mod was the real challenge.  :-)  Anyway, I need to put together a character concept just for this challenge.  I'll need some time, as I have a few ideas floating around and need to flesh one of them out.

    Well, I wouldn't call it a complete entry, but still.

    Still the 17th of Last Seed, Helgen

    She stood and stared at it, unable to move, as though someone cast Paralysis on her, her own voice in her head screaming “Run!” Her ears rang with the roar of fire and screams of men and horses. The morning chill seeped through the thin fabric of her dress. Her mind registered the feeling of a hot liquid crawling down her forearm and she realized that she must have cut it when she tried to escape the inn.

    Run!

    Dragons only exist in fairytales. They are not real.

    Run, you idiot, RUN!!!

    Suddenly the air exploded with flashes of lightning. She saw a group of Imperial battlemages running out of the keep, pointing their staves at the beast. It turned to face the new targets, immediately forgetting about her, and it was as if the spell was lifted. Bell turned and ran.

    ~~~

    Now knowing staying in the open was a very stupid idea, she did not stop until she found a narrow gap between two houses near the town’s outer wall, which by some miracle weren’t burning, only then she dared to lean on a wall, catch her breath and assess the damage.

    The cut on her forearm was long but not deep and had already stopped bleeding. There were also a few bruises and small burns. She did not know how she managed to not lose her satchel in all that chaos, but it was still in her hand and she rummaged through its contents until she found a vial of regeneration potion.

    She took a few sips from it, wincing at the bitter taste, then replaced it and took another vial. That one contained a green oily substance with a sharp herbal smell, that she smeared on the burns and the wound on her forearm. It would stop any infection and prevent scarring. That ointment was well-known back home and she had been always surprised that most Imperials did not use it.

    Her dress was covered in dust and soot, and her skirt was torn, but that could be remedied once she got in a safe place and found some water. Most of her possessions remained in her room in the inn and had likely turned to ashes by now. Her small satchel only contained the most basic things. She was beyond lamenting the loss though, escaping this nightmare with her life would be already a great luck.

    She strapped the satchel to her belt and adjusted her skirt so the tear wouldn’t be so obvious. She glanced at the tall stone wall behind her, wondering if she could use it as a cover and sneak out of Helgen through the southern gate.
