The events and the surroundings were wonderfully described and both chapters were very exciting.
It was fun getting to know Wulvers Character in this story. In the showcases before I could only get a hint.
As tgstyle24 already commented on the last part, it is not easy to include a guest character in a story and then to have him interact with your own character. But you did it very well. The first thing you notice is that Sophie is often underestimated by many people. This is reflected here everywhere. Von Wulver too underestimates her, but he is always pleasantly surprised. Wulver relies on his empathy and has confidence in herself as well as in her skills. This in turn is a surprising experience for Sophie and, together with his cheeky and kind heart, ensures that she quickly gains confidence in Wulver.
Her love for animals, her concern for the other prisoners, that she heals Wulver despite initial skepticism, reflects her character.
The part in which Sophie makes use of her connection to Dannee to open a portal is very convincingly written. As if Nataly wrote these lines herself.
Thank you for these exciting chapters.
I am glad you got to know a little more about Wulver's personality. I find it shines a lot more in the other world he visits (Pathfinder Kingmaker) as he has to make lots of choices around alignment and he shows his chaotic side a lot more there. Wulver is a scamp and a rogue but a nice one :)
Having read Nataly's work for years I am somewhat familiar with how she writes so did my best to write Sofie the way she would be with Dannee. I also did pass my writing by Nataly first so she could give her stamp of approval :-)
Oh Wulver, such a charmer. I guess it being empaths came in useful for both of them since they were able to sense that neither had ill intention toward the other, avoiding some misunderstanding or at the very least being able to come to mutual understanding of their situation and how working together could get them out of this horrible place. I found quite intriguing the bit of lore on Tiefling. Wulver having the blood of Chaos and not being related to Daedras. It raises many questions about Tieflings but also about Wulver in general.I wonder if Tiefling are somehow related to Padomay perhaps or some other entity.
The Thalmor sure have fallen to a even bigger low with what they did with the other prisoners, keeping their souls trapped in their body although they were dead. For what? harvesting their soul in soul gems to use for their machination. I guess I shouldn't surprise myself anymore about the length they would go with their machination and villainy.
I loved that moment where Wulver is basically going " That's a crazy idea and I love it". He'd get along so well with Sandy....(watch out the crazy ideas). He sure does work magic (quite literaly) with that lock. As "dumb" as that Golem may be, it still looked quite a formidable foe. It sure was an intense fight scene and they had to use their with to trap that monster in order to escape.
Ganril got a fitting end and hopefully the Thalmor still trapped there are going to get what they deserve from the inhabitants of the plane of Oblivion they are in...and since it sounds like its Coldharbour, it's not gonna look all that pretty for them.
The teleportation spell was a long shot but thankfully it worked and they didn't end up in some distant plane of existance. They didn't land in Dannee's house sure, but it was close enough....and at least they didn't land in a lake or something either lol.
So sweet to see their friendship. I hope their paths will cross sometime and I also look forward to seeing some more of Wulver's adventures.
I have some growing lore on Chaos Tiefling that I developed as I worked on the race mod I made (which really was just for myself but released it since ... why not. If only one other person gets some fun out of it than worth it). In researching Tiefling lore across various games, books, etc., I picked up some common themes. In general they come from the destructive, negative, chaotic, evil, fiendish, etc., side of the coin. I am not into the fiendish that much but the random destructive aspects of chaos (as done in numerous books that explore the balance and wars between the sides of chaos and order), that is not inherently evil and is needed for life to exist as the balance against pure order ... well in short it was the bloodline I wanted to use for my Tiefling - chaos Tieflings come from supernatural entities who exist on a plane or sphere of chaos and who mate with a mortal. It then shows up completely at random, as befits chaos, in the offspring through many generations. Sometimes weak or strong or average.
So "chaos" creatures could be like the Daedra and Padomay, Chaos creatures from the plane of Chaos in the books by Michael Moorcock (eternal hero, Elric, etc.), demons, certain types of the Fey, and so on. So Wulver has chaos in his blood and soul both and that creates a tie to the Daedra and other creatures of Chaos. As to where he actually got it ... that is a mystery for now :) But for Skyrim lore the chaos for Skyrim/Tamriel Tieflings would be the Daedra and hence considered half-breed Daedra and human. However, Wulver came from another plane to Tamriel ... although of course Oblivion has many planes and who is to say they don't sometimes intersect with planes unrelated to Mundus? A mystery for now though.
Losti and Sandy would probably both get along with Wulver, as would Sam. Wulver is a little vain, cocky (although not arrogant), rather sexual and hedonistic in nature, and somewhat chaotic in temperament - can't escape that influence from his bloodline but he does try to apply a little order from his mortal side. He is also more positive - preferring the creative aspects of chaos, and positive change, over destructive ones (so he might get along with Selina as well).
I plan on a reununion at some point so Sofie can meet Wulver's friends. If I can find a way to share him with Nataly he might also show up in one of her stories :-)
I can only imagine the kind of pranks Wulver and Sandy could come up with. I guess they would also have that in common, unable to really escape that part of their nature - although that doesn't make them evil.
Only way I would see to share him would be to turn him into an NPC or a Follower. My DMs are open if help is needed.
The cell shots while Wulver and Sofie talk are great, and while the scenery is always the same, you did a great job exploring it from different angles.
A dangerous and risky plan is always a amazing plot for two strangers wanting to escape a common enemy :) it was great to see them working together.
Nice action and escape scenes too. Ganril's death was fascinatingly described, very cinematic, I loved it!
I liked they way you writed his death by exactly this point. Is easy someone (Wulver or Sofie) killed him, because he is disgusting, but he eventually ended by the thing he thought would be his salvation and differential. This is something what very arrogant people experience, because they think they know everything and are perfect, are blinded to the failures and possible "cocktail of disasters" caused by their own ambitions and pride. And "poor" Ganril don't notice some advices by Kyne herself... "Use nature's gifts wisely. Respect your power and fear your fury.". Nothing is more powerful than the nature. Or better saying, no one.
I suspect that without the Heart helping a little they might have teleported at random around Whiterun - which would have been instant death if too far above or below or in something. So I will say the Heart helped a little there ;)
Glad you enjoyed this story! It is pretty much done in my end although I do have a very short epilogue about the gem being returned that will be coming at some point.
I chatted with Dannee about Wulver appearing in one of her stories but Wulver is the first character I have made that isn't a simple SPF file that I can share. I would need to make Wulver a stand-alone follower (versus just a regular follower off the vanilla system) which I have never done before and takes some work. I might give it a shot though.
