    Sticky
    Prominent mods I added or used parts of in this chapter (excluding textures as I cannot remember the combination )

    Anna NPCs 3.0 (The crystal, filled up wine glasses): I will not tell where you find these in the mod

    Bijin Wives (Taarie)

    Inhabitants of Skyrim (majority of NPCs in my game have been edited by this mod)

    Apachii Divine Elegance Store (Auriella’s dress and many more in the next parts of this chapter)

    Grace Darklings Attire Packs (Taarie’s dress and many more)

    Immersive Jewelry (Circlet for Auriella, I think)

    I know Sybille is trying to be discreet andkilling only the very worse...
    But it wouldn't hurt to kill Indarie now would it? Nobody would miss that bytch...
    Ah Malborn...not the classiest guy now is he...
    Brilliant work as always!

      We will add her to the list along with Delphine

      Yeah, Malborn trying to save his own skin. Let's see if that works out for him

    Another very well made and written chapter Wade. I like how your fleshing out the quest with even more detail and the posing is top notch!

    I have read the comment from Luc and he describes and say so much I would write too.
    I like all four parts of this chapter ... all together waved a part for the whole mission. I'm really tensed where the alliance with Sybille will lead to ... you are indeed a chess master
    For me, as a women, the scene in the Radiant Raiment was so well written ... oh, I don't like to go to this shop, I hate the arrogance of Taarie and Indarie ... you had a lot of work to stage this all and it is so wonderful ... the four sachets of coin, the remoddeling of this dress, wine, hair, head massage ... a perfect wellness salon and even the question about the hard parts of Auri's hand ... you put really much attention to this scene and Auri looks in the end like a queen ... wonderful and really enjoyable
    Of course, I like too, how Karliah sneaks through the window and "plays" with Marlborn ... and the scenery in the end ... a cliffhanger again ..
    As ever, I enjoyed your story and all the wonderful pictures ... so many masterpieces ... and I'm looking forward to the next part

      Thank you very much as always

      It was interesting to show the true arrogance of those two at the start, as you said, and then how nice they are when they get paid. If only they were that nice really when you give them that much money

      That was a fun one to make. I'm glad I found those meshes for the wine especially, as I remembered them from the mod but had to create them for this.

      Like I said in the other comments, the next two could be my favorite chapters I have done so far, and I hope to have them out on Sunday (or Sunday and Monday if both parts get done)

    Ooh, you remind me some great moments at the Embassy my friend

    I think that this is one of the best quest of the game, but it is so linear and tightly made, without some "tricks", it's one of the worst for all the possibilities it could have brought. I am god damn happy to see you taking this one now, fixing few things

    While your gang is getting prepared, another alliance of some sort is made with Sybille, I am not yet sure where this will lead, but obviously, like a chess-master, you are preparing the board for a last match with the Puppet Master.

    As for Malborn; whatever you do, how great you are, he's obnoxious towards the player, and I just love how you encounter him. That's the thing, we have to keep in mind he's a friggin spy, his head is on the line, he's paranoiac...but he needs help and should be grateful at the end when you fully succeed...nah, he's whining instead. Here you put the character in a more obvious position according to his role, yet, he is impressed with the agent Delphine sends, it's Karliah after all...he's agape. But the bastard, as you so rightly say, does something so twisted, most necessary for the mission maybe, but I am fond of this girl at the end, maybe Erikur will have to look somewhere else tonight, but she is definitely in a worst position now. I am really curious how you will play this one

    Great staging my friend...the opened window, the all pampering session for the dress and hair, those little details are a lot of work, finding the proper poses is not obvious, especially when involving more than two characters. Great dialogues, with some humour, love the bits between K. and A., they are partners in crime all right

    Great job Wade!!

      Very much appreciated! The thing with this quest and many others is the lack of alternative options on how to do it. You can get different people to cause a distraction depending on relationships, but that leads to the same event regardless.

      That meeting with Sybille was really about finding out about Harkon, and the growing massing of vampires he has going on. I only mentioned it briefly in a chapter a long time ago about how she and Auriella know each other, but not much beyond professional acquaintance.

      It was pretty bad with Malborn. Even if you are a Nightingale and leader of the Thieves Guild in the game he still remained unimpressed. I do think the both he and Delphine would see his actions as part of the job if the other option was being found out. Such meetings would certainly need to be made in private, and I would think that impressing Malborn would go over better for someone in his paranoid position.

      Erikur will be plenty busy in the next part and we will see how these events play out with Brelas. A lot of fun to be had in nifskope sometimes, and windows were the start this time. With that many poses to choose from, there are infinitely more if you use sgtm 0.01 in the console to watch it go into motion, and stop it in just the right spot for something completely new.

      The next parts are my favorite so far, hopefully I can get them done by Sunday

    Auri looks amazing in that outfit - the sisters did a nice job. Love the lines between them while Auri spent the Thane's money. Nice details through out the story ... like Karliah stepping in the larger footprints of the Thalmor guards. Malbourn ... what a douche bag. I suspect he will regret that in the end. Pictures were very well done - you always take such great care in making and presenting things in your stories. Was a fun and enjoyable read over coffee tonight.

      Thanks! It was interesting to portray the sisters in such a way, the most helpful people in the world when a pile of coin is flashed at them

      Poor Erikur. Unknowingly paying for all that finery, as well as the taxes on Karliah's house every year. Malborn, and probably Delphine, would think that he did what was necessary to keep his cover within the Embassy. Will he come to regret it? We will see soon enough

      The images are becoming more and more fun to make as I try new things. The next part is my favorite so far, and looking forward to getting it out on Sunday hopefully.
