Erik says some things that he might regret.

"You know I can't say no."
That's sooooo fucked up!

Yeah... It really is. Even if she's not really thinking about the killing so much as having little rugrats around.

Wow! Killing him's a bit drastic! Have him put in jail or something. Jenna's a Jarl- she could totally pull strings to have him put away.

Well, Thane. And she probably could, but she has another tactic up her sleeve.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thane- yes. *scratches head wearily*
I look forward to seeing this plan.

Yeah, sometimes people just hold onto anger and powerlessness until it makes them think bad thoughts.

I hate, HATE their father. I'm not a fan of Sissle's sister either. I've killed their father so many times to save them that I've started getting creative with it. I mean, it's pretty simple to take him out with a bow and some distance, but my favorite thus far has been hitting him (while hidden) with a fury spell during a dragon attack, and rather than letting him run away like the coward normally does, he attacked the dragon, and got eaten ^.^ Then I adopt Sissle and let the brat go to the orphanage, though by that point, Grelod is already dead. Even that little snit I wont send into yet another abusive situation. Of all the people that could be killed in the game, be they out of boredom or assassination contracts, those two are a couple of the most deserving of death.

As of reading your comment, only now do I realize this was actually a quest. O_o

Their father is obnoxious and awful! You can definitely see why Bethesda allows the option to kill parents to adopt their children. Especially for Lemkil. (Makes it nicer that there is only on parent instead of two like most other kids

Even though we talked about this plot beforehand, seeing it is still so unsettling.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did we discuss the whole plot? I can't remember.
Yeah, sadly, darkness lies in all people's hearts. It's just figuring out how to overcome it. Sometimes, it takes knowing how someone else feels to lighten the way.

Yep, we did. I know all your secrets!

John would not approve of this action Jenna. Think this through.
On a side note this reminds me of my brother's character who killed Alvor and Sigrid by mistake and then a week and 20 hours into the game later found and adopted Dorthe having forgotten the event.
He only realized what had happened when he entered Riverwood on a new character. Still haunts him.

I don't think Jenna's really focused on the whole "killing Lemkil" part of this plan. I think she's more concerned about the whole being a parent, since that was definitely not a plan she had.
Oh no! That sounds terrible! I bet he felt really bad!
Honestly, I don't like that mechanic of Hearthfire, where you can adopt kids by killing their parents. But, I liked the idea of Erik wanting to take Sissel especially away from her abusive father. Plus, I get to do something not many others have addressed since everyone else has adopted children who are already orphans. We'll see what I come up with soon enough.

Wow.... pent up anger much Erik? That really doesn't seem like you....
Though to be fair, J'zena probably would have attacked Lemkil right then and there... Not killed him, but definitely scratched the hell outta him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, seeing Lemkil act that way for nearly nine years now, I'm sure Erik feels very uneasy and now has snapped and said things he is not sure that he means.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Getting the girls away from Lemkil will be the best thing for them... But I REALLLY hope Jenna and Erik don't do anything too rash....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would be very good for them to be out of that environment. We shall see what they do.
*kinda spoiler* Let's just say that Jenna uses her skills from a different affiliation to aid in the quest.

can't wait to see what happens!

Ehhh... I guess little assassin action made kids in Riften's orphanage very happy, so there's a precedent.
Heh, come to think of it, I wonder what your version of Erik would think about his counterpart's fate in my comic...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Children love assassins. Especially ones that get rid of nasty adults.
I think Erik would be devastated to know he was trapped in a snow globe for the rest of his mortality in your reality.

Luckily for him I'm going to continue that story. Well, maybe "lucky" is wrong word here...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I think with Sheogorath being involved, there is no "lucky" about it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Whoa, whoa, whoa... I know they want good for the girls, but killing Lemkil isn't the right way. Jenna and Erik are better than that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehehehe. Oh, what you don't know is what I have in store.
I think you'll like the next episode.

Dang, that's a darker suggestion that I would have expected from Erik. He always seemed to me more like the diplomatic type. But then again that's my game's Erik I'm thinking of, not Jenna's.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I kind of intensified Erik's reaction. In this story he has a closer relationship with Sissel and he can get a little hot-headed/irrational at times. We'll see what happens in the next episode.

I don't think Sissel and her sister will shed many tears if Lemkil is Lemkilled. So go for it. A parent that know nothing about parenting is a better parent than a parent who thinks that abuse is good parenting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They really wouldn't shed too many tears. But maybem just maybe there is a better way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, maybe we can cut one of his fingers of, cook it, spice it and feed it to him and threaten to do the same with his entire arm if he abuses them again. Does that sound awesome or what?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just know realized how many times I said the word parent or variations of that word in my original comment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, I figured Erik would be willing to adopt this girls and give them a better life, but not murder their father to do it.
Part of me is wondering if that's really Erik or some doppleganger.
Are they wolves or foxes in the background? They're pretty small, but I can't tell if that's size or distance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I like to think that Erik had momentary break in will. Actually, come to think of it, they both have recently done things that are not really "like them." Jenna reacting to Serana wanting to be cured, and Erik now being so angry with Lemkil, he says such nasty horrible things. Sometimes that happens to people in real life. They let things build up and get in the way and say and do things that are... really out of character.
We'll see how this really plays out.
They are meant to be wolves. I was trying to make them off in the distance. (I was actually planning on covering them up with the word bubbles when I drew them, but I thought they were too cute in spite of their rudimentary look.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps they're so cute because they're cubs? Maybe they lost their mother?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe! They certainly don't look like they're going to attack our two adventurers anytime soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Maybe he talked to the girls and it's them who want Lemkil dead? He did say he's been preparing that with his trips to Rorikstead. So maybe he asked them and they said that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is possible, that or one or both of the girls begged him to take them away from their father.
Still, Erik has always been someone of strong moral values. In some ways he's Jenna's moral compass. I can't really see him murdering someone, even someone like Lemkil.

Hmmm... Marie? We'll see soon right?

*insert breathing* "You don't know the power of the dark side"
Oh my, I never knew Erik been making plans like this before. o3o
I must say, seeing Jenna at play is really adorable! <3
Noticed the Wolves in the background, very nice touch lady.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think he has wanted to adopt... well... Sissel, but I think the idea of offing Lemkil was a knee-jerk reaction. This actually was kind of hinted in "Tag or Hide and Seek."
Thank you!
