Returned to Whiterun to get ready to go to Solstheim realized I really missed Lydia, so decided she was coming with me.
Took all the masks to Windstad to stash them there.
Went to Labyrinthian again to trigger the wooden mask, visit the original version of the sanctuary, and place all the masks on the pedestal to get the fancy golden one as well.
Went back to Whiterun to pick up the rest of the masks, including the wooden one.
Came out of the dungeon to find “Captain Valmir” making the exact same pitch to a Stormcloak NPC he attacked me when I caught him, so I dispatched him the Stormcloak NPC ran off.
Made it on foot to Forelhost, met the so-called “Captain Valmir”, and agreed to help him find the Dragon Priest’s staff found same, after running the dungeon and killing all the cultist ghosts and draugr also got the mask.
Headed down to Riften next to see about finding the Forelhost ruin and getting the final Dragon Priest mask sadly, my horse got killed on the way!.
Visited Lakeview to redistribute some of my built up cache of loot, which required me to work some on building out the Storehouse wing of Lakeview.
RIP, Alarrah’s Horse! You were a very good horse. It also saw the death of my horse, slain by a snowy sabre cat on my way to the Forelhost ruin. This session saw me finishing up the hunt for the Dragon Priest masks-and commencing the hunt for the other Dragonborn, Miraak, on the island of Solstheim.
