Ah, but do you have drifty stick?

I managed to "cure" mine by completely taking it to pieces and blasting everything with one of those aerosol duster things but it has started to return a little bit these last few days.
Where did I put those screwdrivers?

It seems like only a few days since I was complaining in another thread about spiders as big as your hand and today after returning to my homestead after an evening adventure I found two of these waiting for me.

 

Near my home!
And there were also a couple of those weirdos vomiting that lurid green stuff everywhere...

 

Near my home!!!

But it was a good adventure beforehand involving creepy dungeons and ominous stairways like this...

 

Hands up if you like that kind of thing.

 

Yeah, I do too.

I did get killed a few times by a particularly awkward necromancer but a change of tactics managed to get rid of him... eventually.
And now that I'm back at my homestead I may get back into building mode to furnish some of the rooms. Which will also mean I have to get into shopping mode too to get enough iron for all the fittings.

Get out your magic wand! Or "screwdriver", as it's more commonly known.

Ah, I do love the distant landscapes in Oblivion. Don't you agree, Invincible Sean Bean?

 

Where's he gone?
Let's backtrack and see...
Oh, yes, he's invincibly killing all the little baddies that I don't bother with anymore now that he does the hard work.

 

Everyone should have an Invincible Sean Bean in their game.

However, a little further on that beautiful sunny landscape went a bit "Red Sky At Night" again which is never a good sign.

 

Made an effort to kill those Scamps myself but now I have the dilemma of trying to close the nasty gate or continuing on to the temple to take Invincible Sean Bean to "safety".... even though he's invincible.  
And while the not-dying Sean Bean may be a great help if I go through the gate I'm not sure possibly-dying Jauffre will be. But am I supposed to go through for plot reasons?
I think it may be time for one of those strategic savepoints.

Hmm, are you thinking of that Epic Freebie that was called >Observer?
