Orcanorc's Magical Journey - A Skyrim Tale - Part Six
Saving Melka from Petra
"Time to head into Blind Cliff Bastion and see what the Forsworn were guarding and if this will be dangerous for me" an eager but nervous Orcanorc thought.
The start has a cage with the imprisoned hagraven Melka who was put the by her sister, Petra and lost the bastion to her. She was offering a great reward for helping to free her and defeat her sister Petra.
Orcanorc helped out because he was going to clear this place anyway, he set off to explore and get through the sections with traps and enemies.
One of the mentioned traps by Melka is the poison darts trap that is hard to avoid when it shoots in different directions, when activating the levers in the wrong order but knowing this, allowed Orcanorc to quickly jump away and to safety before activating it correctly.
"Phew that was a close one, thank you Melka for the advice!"
Just a little ahead of the trapped level room, a Forsworn Shaman was working on something. But with a quick movement while wielding this big, bad, mean two handed sword of frost from the Draugr Overlord, he was able to execute her with ease.
Another of the traps that Melka mentioned was some pendulums while going through a cage corridor section which could be deactivated, this was from a level behind a secret wall which got activated by another level.
He found it and ensured to stop the pendulums, so when he came to the section he saw no signs of them moving, allowing a free run through and onto the next section.
"Alright so, according to Melka I just got is next section which is before I face Petra in the room after that, so once I clear this section I better prepare myself so I am ready for the fight" a nervous Orcanorc thought as he entered the next section.
It was only one weak Forsworn in this next section to take out, quick and easy job that is rewarded with a bit of gold from their body and a Quicksilver Ore vein to be mined while he was here.
"Yummy Orc come for Petra to cook up and eat, why have you come to Petra's lair" said Petra.
"Melka sent me as this is her lair and you will pay for locking her up" Orcanorc replied as the fight begun.
He quickly took out the forsworn in melee range and started to swing the sword into Petra, doing some nice damage and quickly while she was about to swipe him with her claws.
She got up in his face and started to lay right into him and doing a great amount of damage soon after that, weakening him as Orcanorc kept trying to slay her.. he did not realise the arrows from a Forsworn in the distance and that extra damage, it was enough to make him lose this fight this time around.
This second time around was going to be a different fight that was for sure, as the arrows were used to kill the archer Forsworn, then starting on Petra to lure and slowly weaken her from the get go.
After Petra came around the corner and had fallen victim to the power of the two handed damage, she quickly turned to do some damage back as a return, which made Orcanorc think twice.
"You think you can take me this time? Ha! Take this burning and this ice and make sure you enjoy it while you are still alive!" Orcanorc shouted as he ensured Petra was really feeling the damage and it worked so much more effectively this time.
All that was left as Petra had gotten to low health now, was to ensure a final power blow with the two handed warhammer, and with that blow, this fight was over. No more would Melka be locked in the cage either.
The chest back in the room where Petra was located initially saw a nice shock bow claimed as the main loot worth something from it.
Alarm is not something that would really end up being used as one of his spells, but handy to learn more as a backup as you never know when it might be used.
"I see you have returned now, tell me, did you give Petra what she deserved" Melka asked upon seeing Orcanorc return.
"She will not bother you any longer and the bastion is yours one more" claimed Orcanorc as he released Melka and received the staff the Eye of Melka, as his reward and such a powerful staff that is going to be used.
