Ice, Blood and Ash, a Skyrim adventure

Raevyn Returns to Raven Rock

I head back to Whiterun, but this time, I head to the stables. I need a coach to take me to the docks in Windhelm. There is the only boat i know that can take to Solstheim, to my master, and adopted fathet, Neloth. As ancient as he is wise, albeit crazy, he can guide me.

As I exit the coach, tossing the driver a few septims for the talk and trouble, I see 3 strange figures, with masks that seem like tribal skulls, a head of me. "You are not the true Dragonborn!" they tell me. How am I supposed to know, this gig was just thrown on me. I didn't ask for it. And I didn't ask for a fight, but now I've got one. I battle these idiots, until the last one stands before me, and I roar "Who are you?!". He simply replies "My lord Miraak awaits me", as I impale him on my blade. As I wipe the blood from the sword, I riffle through their belongings. I find a note, and know now, that Solstheim is where I must go. I bribe Captain Gjalund with many septims beyond his pay, and he takes me.

A long ride later***

I arrive near Solstheim. Gjalund calls me up, and speaks with me. "I don't want to stay here. There is something strange going on in Solstheim, and I don't want anything to do with it.", and I can understand his fear. I nod, and step off the boat. A Dunmer man approaches me, and asks "What is your purpose hete, outlander?". I explain to him my purpose, and he allows me in Raven Rock, but he warns me to not cause problems. Doesn't he know who my Master is? Who I am? "Oh well," I think to myself, "somethings going on, I can't fault him." and I head to the Retching Netch to talk to Geldis Sadri, hoping that he can help me make sense of this. He's been a friend for a long time, and if anyone knows the latest gossip, it would be him. He's got ears all over this island.
