Description
Second to last part of the Thalmor subplot. Revenge is dish best served paralyzed and burning? In case it's unclear, he did loot the place (including his armor-to-be!), that's why guards had time to arrive. By the way, notice the amulet (which he had been wearing under his shirt). "Where does he keep all the loot?" Well, in case "inventory" isn't good enough answer, I think he might use the Cabbage to store the spoils of his adventures (there's huge pile of his stuff somewhere in the Shivering Isles?).Also, more Borg terminology. I don't know where I got the idea, but it's strangely fitting, don't you think? Oh, and there's a Dragon Age Origins Awakening reference here too. Kinda. Here, take this imaginary cookie if you spotted it.

About Zombie Dovahkiin Quest:
This is a Elder Scrolls fanart comic that plays with alternative version of Skyrim's plot, where the game's events are derailed when the hero doesn't quite make it. Main character Gwindor the high elf mage is both the protagonist and the occasional narrator of the story. My goal is to make dozens of parts long story arc that stays lorefriendly(ish).
Comments are very welcome (they often give me ideas for the plot), feel free to ask about anything and offer suggestions.

Whahaha! Nice work! Still digging your rendering of the Glass Armor! And I swear, for Gwindor every day is one of those kinds of days. :/

Thanks!
Ah, but what I have planned for later will make this seem relaxing by comparison.

It that the Necromancer's Amulet? It's the only one that comes to mind with that colour.

Yep. I drew it with TES IV appearance.

I like Gwindor's fire/paralysis spell. I realize he could easily be using two spells at the same time, but when I see him doing it like that, I'm imagining it's a Shivering Isles-based combination spell: the fire from Dementia, and the Paralysis from Mania.
I'm guessing he tossed the paralyzed Thalmor out with him so that he could break the glass without cutting himself?

"Nobody touches Oghren's junk and LIVES!"
One of my favorite lines from that game, and I just about spewed my tea when I saw it.

Dragon Age has some great lines.
Oh, and here's the cookie I promised!

-chews happily- Tastes like victory.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Just the right kind of subdued humor that gets me every time. Keep up the great work!

"Oh right. You are to busy being paralyzed and on fire to speak."
I lost my shit at that line. Had to take a 20 minute laugh break. Paralyzing the guy was humiliating enough but did you have to completely degrade him with the fire too?

He kinda takes it personally when some-one takes his stuff.

I think most people do, he's perfectly normal for once then.

Ancarion: How did you escape?
Gwindor: With a skeever, a rope and a plank.
Ancarion: ....... What?
Gwindor: Just a little something I like to call, "creative badassery".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Damn, I missed a great chance to utterly baffle Ancarion!
Hopefully setting him on fire, paralyzing him and then throwing him out of window made up for that lapse...

I think you already baffled him with a little bit of creative badassery yourself. I mean, setting him on fire, then paralyze him and then throwing him out a window and use him as a skateboard on the way down? Dude, Robbaz's Besiege designs don't have ass on you.

Ancarion always seemed pretty squishy and shock-absorbing to me! Also, Gwindor should search for the spell-drinker amulet, rumored to have been held by the last arch-mage of the Mages Guild. That way, he could make sure to absorb even more of the magic flung his way. He should also keep his eyes out for things like Welkynd stones and the magicka fonts in the Deadlands of Oblivion. Whether or not his magicka regenerates (and if it does, is simply extremely slow), he would still have access to the occasional regeneration of his pool.

Problem here was Thalmor confiscated all his items (including magicka potions) and guards weren't as obliging as Ancarion with magic. In normal circumstances he could just ask Serana to cast spells on him to recharge quickly (that's one reason why he was so eager to recruit her).

Oh, I wasn't criticizing the narrative of this comic or anything. I was clumsily providing ideas for the future! I love these comics, by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem, just clarifying in case I had been skipping ahead again (I'm sometimes too lazy to draw transition panels which would make story easier to follow).
I had been thinking about using Welkynd Stones actually, though for a super magicka consuming (more than his whole magicka pool) mega spell rather than restoring magicka. You could do those in Oblivion.

That'd be really cool! I also always wondered if soul gems could be consumed by people to restore their magicka or used for spells as well. It's never been mentioned, but given how enchanting seemed to work in Morrowind, it seemed like soul gems that recharged items were restoring the magicka of the souls bound to the enchanted items (or, in the case of Daedric items, the Daedra that took the form of the item). However, the Soul Cairn puts a rather different spin on the whole thing. Oh dear, I'm rambling again!
