Ysira and Rundl are two College apprentices whom had gone out into the world to test themselves and try experiments. The College had them as missing presumed killed by their experiments.

So there should be two more of them, somewhere?

From last thread:
The other day I ran into some bandits and they were all crying like babies. The subtitles for this was literally Bandit: (sobbing). Must have gotten hold of some bad skooma.

They weren't in a fight with anything, they were just walking along the road towards Whiterun.

I've found three of these and still need Ilas-Tei. It's cool that you have to work out who they are for yourself, but the frustrating thing about these Apprentices is not being able to tell Phinis that you've found them. They are literally dead ends.

@buckom: You never had a homecooked meal??? That was the reason I got married, cos I wanted the buff for my 'naked' build. Would never have tried out marriage otherwise. :P The thing is, that now the honeymoon is over Marcurio has stopped cooking.

I found the twins and also Ilas-Tei. I retrieve a ring from the body but alas I really can't remember where :confused:

I carried around Yisra's necklace for ages in the hope I could wave it under Phinis' nose and say "Look! It has her name engraved on it! She's not in some outer realm or something - She set herself on fire and is now toast!!!" But he seems to have a blind spot when it comes to the last class.

Today I saw some weird graphical glitch while running East along the road to Whiterun. There was a very pleasant sun shower with darkish clouds also in the sky. But a couple of times I saw a tiny, round, very black cloud form in the clouds, and as I ran toward it to get a better look, it would disappear. Anybody else seen this?

Weirdest thing to happen to me yet was when I was fighting a frost dragon and a giant, I killed the giant while waiting for the dragon to land, turned around to dragonrend the dragon(it was taking ages!) and after I hit it with dragonrend, it flew vertically into the sky...

Nah. Muiri and Silgja work, too. If I need food I can make it myself. :P

So will the spouse cook over and over or will they stop after a few requests? Do they have to have the food in their inventory or can they just magically cook stuff?

Only been married once, and he did stop after a while. I've heard some people get 15 meals, or something like that. No idea if it's a bug, can be broken by something, or is intended. The buff is really quite good if you are into buffs. Ironically, I wanted the buff for the Cidna mine quest, but he stopped making the meals before I was all set to go kill a king... I had to console it in anyway. :tongue:

Edit: Oops, no they don't need any raw ingredients to whip it up. Don't ask em what it's made out of, or maybe they'll stop making it then and there.

Oh, yeah, I've read about the buffs of some of the foods and they are f-ing impressive. I have a problem with temporary buffs from foods and potions - it just seems unnatural. :confused: I'll using healing potions early on, but I can't use others like Invisibility, Waterbreathing, etc. Oddly, I have no problems with permanent buffs on armor. :blink:

Yeah, since Muiri is 'native' to Markarth she might be using Soylent Green and Sylgja might be using spiders so I won't ask if I ever get food from them. :lol:

Soylent Green is an export from Valenwood :liplick:
I have a saved game with a "TestJeremyBig" walking around west of Anise's Cabin, I do not know if he is a mod related spawn, or an actual glitch.

Somewhere south of Solitude in mountains I met a Dragon-Bear. True.... First it was a Bear attacking me and after I killed it I was surrounded by strange lights and I got a notice saying "Dragon's soul absorbed". There was no trace of a dragon, before, during or after... :laugh:

And mine, after only 2 arrows in its body, crashed on the floor head down and tail still up in a big noise. First time I saw that. Or maybe because it was the first time I used archery against dragons? Usually I use dragonrend and fight with my dagger. :biggrin:

My most recent... Last night I was walking along just passed the little bandit camp on the side of Whiterun. Suddenly a mammoth went soaring straight up into the air, probably 40ft or so, paused and then came back down. There was a giant walking right beside it so I'm thinking it had something to do with them occupying the same space.

My understanding is that while there is still talk about that class, the actual quest has been removed. The other one I've found is the one with the skeevers, frenzy and calm spells.


I've also found a skeleton next to a locked jewelry box on the south side of the isolated peak west of Whiterun. There's an abandoned shelter with loot in the lower cliffs south of the road to Riften (near the tomb with the Dunmer researcher - can't remember the name).

Ilas-Tei.

i have found his remains. If you need to know, just ask and i will point a direction. All four succumbed to their experiments. I would have liked to be able to present the parts back to the College as a tribute to them all.

On a bounty op to Secunda's Kiss, and had parked Shadowmere up about the camp so he would stay out of the fight. Didn't. He ran down and started to attack. This brought the other giant into the mix. Meanwhile I'm trying to kill the target. And Shadow must have been taking some grief cause off he goes. Giants in tow. Me brining up the rear, And on we march across Whiterun hold where I finally kill the target near the puzzle monoliths and run into two more giants. Oh, did I mention the wolves that joined the mix? I tried to cancel another giant, but wasn't successful. And then the giants were apparently finished with Shadow (I grieved - a bit) and started to get my cat ass out of there. Enter more wolves and then a trio of the Alik'r. So I ran through them to draw the giants into a fight with them. And then it was party time!

It wasn't pretty, but I escaped to kill another day. And Shadowmere showed up again. Tough horse.

I'm not sure if this is intentional or a bug, because I'm pretty sure I gave Arngeir the horn.

It's a "feature." :D Activating the hand/grave once more after you pick up the note will give you a "free" dragon soul. Doesn't seem to matter if you have the horn in your inventory or not.

I encountered common three legion soldiers with a stormcloak prisoner but weird about it was I encountered it in the middle of Riften. Of course city guards fought with them so they had no chance to get out of the city, but wise as they are they murdered their prisoner immediately when the guards attacked on them and then they fought until to death against the overpowering enemy. Kind of brave fellows I have to say.

At the same day I also encountered a dragon inside the Riften city and when it was slain and the smoke of its burning corpse went away I recognized that there was a duel going on its corpse: Mjoll and Maul were fighting and all the guards and citizens came around them to watch it (or the they were watching the dragons corpse - anyway it was a fine show and made me to remove their essential statuses to see the real result).
