Will say I am pleased to see all the speculation on Arnbjorn, Delvin, and what will happen to everyone. I have it all sketched out and can only say I will be true to myself and write it the way I envision it.
Thank you for taking the time to structure and plan Grim's Tales and putting in all the effort you do. It makes for very good read.
I thought Delvin was a rotting person but I actually feel sorry for him, he does not really know what he does and so arises a lot of questions ...
Arnbjorn released from his witch Astrid is probably a good thing there was no more love and good things between them, maybe Erik, Bryn and Sapphire will make a new ally who knows
But if Arnbjorn do not control his bestial form it will remain cautious.
Arnbjorn - I guess I wanted to see him as a man who was aggressive and maybe a bit violent but not a bad person until he got corrupted by Astrid. I really wanted to fan the flame of light deep in his breast and see if he could become a better person. Now that he shares some of Grims blood I think he will be better able to control the beast within himself.
Thanks for the comment!
I love the way you dialog Arnbjorn, so sounds like him. "potroast" lol loved that part. I am glad he is freed from Astrid's hold, but now he has a huge decision.. does he tell the others Astrid is dead... or does he wait for Grim to show up.
Delvin, poor...poor Delvin, if only he had heard the entire conversation. Now he is stuck with his on demons.
As for forgiveness...well.. I say to Grim... slaughter them all!
What will he do? The best they can do is to wake Wolfgar and beg for mercy. But can they awaken him and restore his connection with Grim in time? And will Wolfgar after such treatment be willing to forgive? And what of the others, will they forgive? Or will Arnbjorn try to muster the Brotherhood in an attempt to defeat Grim? They would be fools to do so.
Can't wait for the next chapter!!!
BTW Brilliant work with Arnbjorn's dialog! It struck me as just as he would have spoken.
Anyhow busy working away on the next three main scenes (getting to the DB, in the DB, and after the battle) that are overlapping to some degree so taking a lot of time. So far got some really cool shots though and a nice outline for the plot lines.
I am supposed to be studying but thought I'd pop into the Nexus for a 5 min break. An hour later, my butt cheek is numb and I'm staring at my screen in horror, fascination and awe.
These last two chapters were simply enthralling my dear. Pieces of art. The first chapter; the deadly duel of words then blades with that conniver Astrid had me on tenterhooks then the intrigue and machinations happening here in the DB... wow.
You've woven such life into these characters that Beth created and gave us mere shells of. Arnbjorn has such DEPTH to him now. Delvin - motive and remorse. Bryn - swagger and gusto. Erik - a fighter's spirit if ever there was one.
I adored this double feature; the various Daedric Princes all having their fingers in Grim's life is so delicious! He must have created quite a s*** storm in the other plains of existence to have such attention on him. He chose the only option that he reasonably could in that scenario. I just knew he couldn't condemn Mralki to such an ignoble death... even to save Wolfgar's soul. Such an intriguing link that their very souls are bonded and the loss of Grim's to evil would warp and twist Wolfgar, or worse, the loss of Wolfgar's to the void could condemn Grim to the same fate in the afterlife. Truly a precarious but oh so powerful bond between them.
And Astrid has fallen. Long live the Dark Lady. Rathe owes Grim one. I loved how in your tale Arnie also hated Astrid but to such a vehement degree that he may just become the ally the team need to save Wolfgar! Beautiful twist. Even more lovely would be for Arnie to renounce the DB and join up with Grim's Company... ah but I digress now.
What I'm saying is; bravo.
Astounding work.
PS: Boethia's puckered ass - I was on the floor rolling with that one!
I really do enjoy taking existing characters and filling them out in more detail. Aye adding new ones are fun but Erik, Delvin, Bryn, Sapphire, Arnbjorn, etc., really enjoy giving them some more detail. Like people you pass every day in real life who all have a life you know nothing about ... until you interact with them in some manner and a door opens to someone else's reality.
Very pleased you enjoyed the stories. I spent weeks weaving plot lines. I always have my main goal in mind for each big story, and I know the ultimate goal Grim is working on (Fenrir and the BWC) but it isn't till I start to flesh out each story line that I get into the real details. This one was a lot of fun and you gave me the spark with a comment you made a while back about "hard choices" and ever since then I wanted to explore that with Grim. I got a bit carried away in the detail
On a side note with the Daedric and Divine influence. The reality is that the princes are actually interested in Fenrir, but Grim is the vehicle that will influence that - the tool I guess I would say. So they see Grim as a powerful tool. Not a pawn, as he is a little to aware for that and Fenrir and Hircine actually do care for him a great deal, but perhaps a Knight on the chessboard and Fenrir is the King piece.
The reason being that the Thalmor hope to become immortal and their plan involves the blood of Fenrir, the Eye of Magnus, and a small piece of the hear of Lorkhan. I can say no more on that although it isn't really a plot revelation or secret that Grim's destiny is tied into Fenrirs.
So the Princes, of course, have some interest in this as there is debate about whether it will be good or bad if the Thalmor create their own version of the Tribunal (not the same thing - just using it as a reference to make sense without typing a massive comment with to many plot lines).
Beyond that - lets face it - the Daedric Princes *love* to meddle with mortals and humans and champions, heroes, epic villains, anyone very powerful has a special interest to them. Not to mention Grim is related, however distantly, to them - he is Hircines grandson after all.
As for Arnie ... well we will see what happens
I bookmarked those last 3 chapters and endorsed them already because of all the great images (which already tell a story in itself), and I hope that I will find some time and peace to read them all during the next days!
Anyhow I did nothing for three days this last weekend except right and take screenshots. Kept me busy but at least I can relax for a bit as I start work on chapter 8.
