Level 12.2 A change in location! (Patreon)

With recent… experience… of watching a dragon appear from the clouds, seduce a bandit, then carry her off, our heroine decides it might be a good idea to use the gold she got from her latest job and get the fuck away from Whiterun for a while. Possibly indefinitely, depending on how that whole dragon situation panned out.

But to where? After pondering over her map, two locations come to mind.

Falkreath. Both the innkeeper and her shield brothers and sisters say that Falkreath is always having troubles with monsters, bandits and wild animals; no shortage of work there at least. Coupled with this, the hold also had a fairly talented blacksmith; one that had made hundreds of weapons for the Imperials during the war by himself if the rumors were true. Very appealing to the Argonian, who hoped to get herself better equipment and armor (and possibly some better training). Hell, the Companions even had a few members out there that would report back to Whiterun, which would help advance her rank at the very least.

To top it all off? Highly dense, highly fire resistant foliage. It would be easy to hide from anything flying overhead, and sabercats were uncommon to boot. A very promising choice.

The second option was the College of Winterhold, to the north. While a long and cold trip, there is no doubt protection from dragon attacks when you’re surrounded by powerful mages. Also, a complimentary room and bed. While certainly safer overall, there were a couple downsides:

No real smiths live in Winterhold due to its bad position and difficulty of acquiring materials, so it wouldn't be easy finding anything to protect herself beyond her robes and a few scrolls. Though rumors say the mages working at the college have very deep pockets and are always looking for someone to help their magical experiments. It would take a little time, but gaining gold wouldn’t be too much of a problem. The final issue was more a biological one: the cold. It was always a bitch and a half to deal with, exacerbated by her less-than-accommodating robes. 

The last issue was more of a mixed blessing than a con: she might finally run back into the Alchemist that gave her the big, pulsing, neon purple problem between her legs and have them “deal” with it in one way or another. While she had grown used to it by this point, the constant chance of embarrassment and hamper on her dating pool was definitely making her consider getting rid of it.

After doing some budgeting, the Argonian realized she would only be able to afford the cart trip one of these places. She decided to sleep on it, leaving it up to the powers that be to tilt the scales in her dreams. In conclusion:

Falkreath: Pros

Plenty of honest work to be done.

A smith to get better equipment.

Fellow Companions posted out there.May advance further in companion ranks

Plenty of dense forest to hide in.

Falkreath: Cons

Her abysmal magical capabilities would only atrophy further.

Proximity to the lower border, might get “drafted” to help with the Civil War.

She’d be stuck with her dick for a while longer.

Bit of a wolf problem.

Log houses only.

College of Winterhold: Pros

Free bed and room.

The grand magical library, Might be able to learn some new illusion based spells.

Rich teachers, experienced mages and experimenting novices. All looking for someone to help them in their research.

The staff would keep her safe from dragons (inside the town at least).

Confront the Alchemist and possibly get her dick removed. Or enhanced further.

College of Winterhold: Cons

Fucking COLD.

No blacksmith, no resources for armor.

The College has a bad reputation for letting experiments get a bit… out of hand.

Cold.

The chance that her outfit might get sluttier the more advanced she gets.

Much stronger then normal monster might be too much for her current equipment.

Cold.

So where will our argonian adventurer end up? YOU DECIDE!
