Saashi
Well… What the hell is this place… What a mistake! I accidentally triggered the Teleportation Circle when I was exploring a tumulus. Now where am I? My bag… my documents… I lost them…
(The growls of Radiated Mongrels can be heard)
Saashi
Wowah! What kind of monster is this?! Dogs! I hate dogs! Staff… staff… where is my magic staff?!
Diary
[One slip and you lose it all. I never saw it coming that I made such a stupid mistake. I was teleported to an unfamiliar place. ]
[My investigation told me that the Teleportation Circle teleported not only the tomb raiders, but the whole mountain where the tumulus was to here. ]
[This is an evil land filled with vicious mongrels. I haven’t found a friendly being so far. I can’t just sit here and wait. I must find a way off the mountain. ]
Saashi
Hoo… hoo… hoo…
Beast
Woof!
Saashi
Oh no… there are wild beasts all over the mountain. I’ll surely be dead if I don’t get rescued.
Beast
Woof woof!
Saashi
Stay away from me!
Nate
Wowah! What is this? A talking cat? !
Saashi
I’m people! Never mind, save me first!
Nate
Well… uh… miss? Could you please explain a lit… Is this because of radiation?
Saashi
What radiation? I was born this way! I am a Khajiit scholar coming here to investigate the tumulus. I triggered a trap by mistake, and ended up here!
Nate
Which means you know why this mountain is here? That’s wonderful. I will escort you to our camp. We need more information about this mountain.
Diary
[Today is the second day since I woke up. All praises to the great Masser and Secunda. I also need to thank those Vault people too. Thanks to those people saving me in this forest, I am currently safe. ] [It’s hard to believe that the whole mountain was teleported to this world, but it happened. And the people here want the mountain to go back. ] [I am no expert in attack magic. I need to rely on the Vault people to be effective. I should go to their camp to see if there are mercenaries for me to hire. ]
Nate
To be honest, I still don’t buy your words. You said that you were a magical being from another world?
Saashi
Yes. I hate to admit it, but it seems to me that I have indeed come to your world.
Nate
Well. I guess only magic can explain the traveling to another world…
Saashi
I need you Vault people’s help! I have lost everything in the earthquake caused by this teleportation. I cannot teleport the mountain back with my book. I need to find it.
Nate
So it was you who caused the Capital Wasteland abnormity… Alright, let’s go back to the camp and talk to the overseer…
Beast
Grrrowl!
Nate
Oh no!
Saashi
Wowah! Big lizard!
Nate
Calm down, miss. It’s just a deathclaw… Hmm, but it’s not coming at us.
Saashi
Thanks to the great Masser and Secunda… Your world is too dangerous.
Nate
It’s still in our way now. We need to get rid of it. Miss, can you fight?
Saashi
I’m not good at magic attack, but I can support behind you.
Nate
That’s enough. Let’s finish it, and get back to the camp.
Diary
[Although the shock robbed me of speech at the beginning, now I have accepted the reality. The whole mountain and I were teleported to this place called Capital Wasteland, which is plagued by “Radiation”. ]
[They said that they had a temporary camp. But I would rather call it “Mercenary Point”. Because that place is similar to Tamriel Guild. The “Vault” warriors are waiting for their quests with their fire-breathing staffs. And when I bring out the gold coins, I get all of their attentions. ]
[I talked to the leader who they called the “Overseer” and explained about the issues. It turned out that the place they called Mount Mabel was gone. It seems like they were teleported to Tamriel. ][It seems like something in the tumulus started some troubles to this land. The Vault mercenaries were talking about the solution, and I took this opportunity to offer my suggestion. ]
[I hired them to retrieve my lost stuff. As a return, I need to figure out how to make this mountain back to Tamriel. It’s just that …… I have no idea what’s destroying this land. ] [May Masser and Secunda bless me…Hope it’s not a dragon that was also teleported here. ]
Companion 1
Let me reassert, overseer wants us to assist this lady to teleport this mountain back. Understand?
Companion 2
I knew every single word your said. But I still couldn’t believe it. What is magic? Nord? It’s just unbelievable.
Companion 1
Then take a look at the lady’s tail. If there is not a land of magic, why would she became like this?
Saashi
I feel like being offended.
Companion 1
Oh! I am very sorry, miss. But what we have here are totally different from your world. Please excuse my suspicion.
Saashi
Sure. But it’s very complicated for me to explain. You mercenaries should just protect me, and help me find my lost items and books.
Companion 1
I like the mercenary title. Sounds cool.
Companion 2
But mercenaries should be paid! I don’t see any cap here!
Saashi
I have paid you gold coins! Oh wait! Look!
Companion 1
It’s getting dark soon. Don’t get lost!
Diary
[Good news today. I found a piece of my bag on a tree. ]
[Perhaps I was too excited. I forgot that humans couldn’t see at night and they needed to sleep. ]
[Therefore I went out alone. They probably couldn’t find me. ]
[Right now, I am shivering in an abandoned wooden hut. I can hear heavy breathing from outside. I hope that my mercenary can come and save me…]
Saashi
Mercenaries, look! Look at those mongrels! That is my bag them surrounded. My documents were in that bag!
Companion 1
Oh! Finally we found some clue, go! Let’s get this bag back!
Saashi
They ran away. Go after them!
Companion 1
(Out of breath) Isn’t it too much to ask me chase a dog?! It’s impossible… But they can’t be far. Let’s go track them down then. Wait! Look, smoke over there!
Saashi
Wait! I remember that place. It’s a village at the foot of the mountain. I didn’t know that they managed to survive! In the case, I might be able out get something from Tamriel from them.
Companion 1
Miss, I have a good news and a bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?
Saashi
Good news.
Companion 1
The good news is that we found out that the mongrel who took you bag was killed.
Saashi
Is that true?! Then we can just go take my books now. What about the bad news?
Companion 1
The bad news is that it was a Deathclaw who killed it. That monster is even more terrifying than others. It has dragged both the mongrel’s corpse and your bag into its den.
Saashi
……But I must get my books.
Companion 1
……Actually, some of your books have scattered out. It’s pretty easy to retrieve those. How about we just wrap it up here…
Saashi
No way! I need all of them! That’s what I paid you the gold coins for! I can hire more mercenaries!
Companion 1
It’s not about the money!
Saashi
Double coins!
Companion 1
Ready at your service!
Saashi
Hah! I found my exploration note. Now I can locate the rest of my books with it!
Companion 1
Okay. We have entered Deathclaw’s Den now. Take a deep breath. Don’t panic. It’s just some Deathclaws. We can deal with them.
Saashi
Be careful, and don’t ruin my books!
Companion 1
Quite a nagging employer you are… We will try our best.
Saashi
Let me take a look at my note. I’ll see where this monster took my stuff.
Companion 1
Wowah! Two deathclaws! Somehow they seem to get bigger inside the den?!
Companion 2
Seem? They are indeed bigger than the normal one! Watch out! Watch out! They are coming this way!
Companion 1
Okay… Phew… Phew… Miss. We have found your stuff. I swear the scratch mark on the book was from the deathclaw, not me!
Saashi
Very well! You are indeed the best mercenaries I have ever seen! With all my books, I can find a way to restart the Teleportation Circle before long! Now let’s head back. I need to check on the books.
Companion 1
I need to get another pants.
Companion 2
Wait. Actually, I don’t feel right. These Deathclaws usually won’t just hide inside the den. They are predator, but they were afraid of going out…
Companion 1
You are right… Now that you mentioned it… the monsters we have seen along the way were pretty scared of something. They only attacked us because we were in their way.
Companion 2
I thought they were scared off by the Deathclaws. But even the deathclaws were so afraid. What is going on behind it?
Companion 1
You are scaring me now. Let’s report it to the headquarters first.
Saashi
Thank you all for your help. The books have been retrieved. Let’s see if I can find the information related to this tumulus.
Companion 1
You’d better be quick. Our people found out that the Enclave people are approaching towards us. They must be out there to investigate.
Saashi
Well, I have an idea actually. If it is a mysterious teleportation magic that sent us here, then this magic must still be here. Perhaps we can get teleported back by slightly changing it.
Companion 1
…… Sorry, I can’t understand your magic. But are you sure that it is possible?
Saashi
Alright. Magic is continually moving forward. At the very beginning, magic wasn’t that convenient. But people constantly develop magic and put them in the magic books. Although changing the magic might cause magic clash leading to the breakdown, it still works if we do it moderately.
Companion 1
Looks like we have no choice but to trust you on this.
Saashi
In the case, I need a Teleportation Circle. Have you seen three pillars here? That should be part of the circle. One is in the forest, one in the wetland under the mountain, and the last one on the hill.
Companion 1
Then, should we go to the wetland? Unfortunately, that place has been captured by the Enclave.
Saashi
The Enclave? You don’t get along well?
Companion 1
You can put it like that. Enclave people adopted a policy deeming it the sole remaining bastion of “pure,” mutation-free humanity on Earth. If they see you, they would take you as some mutant and wouldn’t hesitate to kill you.
Saashi
Okay, seems like I still need to hire you Vault people to fight against them.
Companion 1
We found a highland that is suitable to be a campsite ahead. But it seems that Enclave people have already taken the place.
Saashi
Before we carry out the next search, we must capture this highland. Otherwise, I can’t find the location of the stone pillars.
Companion 1
Then let’s “borrow” their camp… I need a pair of clean shoes by the way.
Saashi
Let me see… Hmm… it’s over there! But it seems like Enclave people have already found that place.
Companion 1
I really hope that you have a way to bring this mountain back.
Saashi
Relax. Magic is omnipotent. If there is a need, there is a way to realize it.
Companion 1:
It seems really convenient… Wonder if we can find some convenient stuff here.
Saashi
I think somebody must be working on it. Okay. We need to clear this camp. I also need to enhance the gear at hands.
———-
Saashi
Look! The Enclave people are trying to steal the artifacts of the Nord Tumulus! Stop!
Companion 1
Stop, miss! Enclave people aren’t someone you can reason with!
Enclave
What is this? A new kind of mutant? ! Capture her!
Companion 1
Now you know what kind of people the Enclave are, miss?
Saashi
Those humans are nothing but a group of tomb raiders! They are here to go after the invaluable Nord artifacts! If I found anyone trying to steal anything here, I will curse them to grow a long cat tail!
Companion 1
(Quietly throws away the artifacts from the pocket) Miss, aren’t you the first one who ventured into this tumulus?
Saashi
I am a scholar! I was doing a research! This is a matter of study!
Companion 2
(Quietly throws away the artifacts from the pocket) Ok, ok. We understand.
Saashi
Seems like a few Nord artifacts have scattered in the swamp. If it is possible, I want them back!
Companion 1
Miss! It’s absolutely not safe to go into the swamp. It’s not just mud that we need to worry about, but also the Mirelurks! There must be Mirelurks here!
Saashi
This is why I hire you!
———-
Saashi
I have studied all of these artifacts. It seems like it must be a great ancient Nord who was buried here.
Companion 1
Oh? But why would someone set up a teleportation magic for his own tumulus?
Saashi
It’s actually not hard to understand. The magic can protect the tumulus from the tomb raiders by teleporting them away.
Companion 1
But that obviously doesn’t make sense, right?! Why would anyone want to teleport his own tumulus?
Saashi
Well… we still need to further investigate… But thanks to the fact that this mountain is teleported away, these structures buried by snow are now unraveled. From what I have seen so far, this place must be a barrack.
Companion 1
So he was a general?
Saashi
No, a general don’t deserve such a grand tumulus! This person’s status must be even higher…
Companion 1
(Secretly puts one piece of artifacts into the pocket) So the burial artifacts must be really valuable?
Saashi
Yes indeed. But this person must be really careful of his own tumulus. He probably had cast some curse upon some things.
Companion 1
(Secretly throws away the artifact from the pocket) That’s so vindictive!
Diary
[Thanks to this strange teleportation, the snow on the mountain has melted. This land has become a swamp and the tumulus buried under the snow has been unraveled]
[I don’t know what the Vault people think of the Nords. Therefore, I didn’t tell them the whole truth. ]
[This tumulus belongs to a traitor of Nord. This person was not content to be under the rule of the emperor. He attempted a coup, but he passed away before he could start chaos. However, his people didn’t give up. They were waiting for the day to bring back their lord. ]
[And this Teleportation Circle must be the method for them to prevent the tumulus from being destroyed. I can tell that those people who were loyal to him had been living here for a long time. But they all have gone in the end… What on earth have happened? ]
[The documents aren’t complete. I need to find more artifacts engraved with texts. ]
Saashi
Okay. Before we go to that tower, we must find the artifacts nearby.
Companion 1
I think you probably have already forgotten your first goal! We are here to find a solution to move the mountain back, not playing archaeologist game with you!
Saashi
If there is no other information, I can’t find a way to restart the Teleportation Circle. Therefore, we must find the artifacts with texts engraving!
Companion 1
Alright, but one more thing! We want a share! We can’t do this for free! Do you see how badly my leg was hurt because of those Mirelurks?
Saashi
……Okay, you can take some of the artifacts without the texts. But never the one with texts!
Companion 1
(Lets out a sign of relief and takes out a pile of artifacts) Let me see which one got texts.
Companion 2
(Lets out a sign of relief and takes out a pile of artifacts) Yeah, let me see too.
Saashi
……Did I hire the wrong people?
Saashi
We are very close to that place now.
Companion 1
Which means, we have ventured deep into the Enclave camp. We can’t possibly avoid the conflict with the Enclave now.
Saashi
Look over there! Those villagers of Tamriel are captured by the Enclave! Are they abducting people now!?
Companion 1
Perhaps they know something that the Enclave want to know. We must go save them!
Saashi
Let me talk to them.
Companion 1
After a while “Have you found out something?”
Saashi
They said that Enclave people weren’t interested in these artifacts, but they were interested in finding out a giant creature.
Companion 1
A giant creature? What did the Enclave find out here?
Companion 2
So they weren’t interested in the artifacts… That means those soldiers must be sneaking out to steal stuff for themselves…
Companion 1
Which means, there must be something more valuable to the Enclave.
Saashi
We should keep going… Oh right, I still need to trade something with these villagers.
Companion 1
There is an Enclave checkpoint ahead! Seems like we have ventured into the center of their camp! They are aware of us now. This place is tightly defended! But I found a small route. We can go inside their research tent and find out what they are working on.
Companion 2
It’s not really important to our mission to find out what the Enclave people are up to. We just need to let our cat lady get to the pillar where they are standing on now.
Companion 1
But I am still curious… Have you forgotten about those scared Deathclaws? A group of ghouls cannot destroy Washington. They are probably investigating this matter.
Companion 2
Very well, let’s go check it out.
Diary
[Apart from the tumulus, the mercenaries and I have come to the research center of the Enclave. ] [I am very confused by the Enclave’s stuff. One thing that I cannot get out of my mind is a hologram of the Enclave. ] [The mercenaries don’t know what these are, but I do. Such a huge shadow from the sky, it must be a dragon. It seems like this dragon is also teleported here. It was the one who slaughtered many lives on this land. ] [In case the mercenaries refuse to travel with me, I haven’t told them about this. I just hope that this dragon can stay as far as possible from this mountain. ]
Companion 1
This is the Enclave temporary camp center! We must get rid of the Enclave to provide a stable environment for the lady.
Saashi
All of the Enclave soldiers are here. This will be a hard battle.
Companion 1
Therefore, my lady. Please don’t be so stingy about spending your gold coins. We need more help from the Vault.
Saashi
As long as you can get rid of the Enclave people, that would be no problem.
Enclave
You bastards! Do you have any idea what you are doing?!
Saashi
Which is to get rid of you from this land!
Enclave
You losers from Boston wouldn’t understand what Capital Wasteland is facing! We are saving this land! And you ruined everything!
Saashi
This is the first time that I’ve heard Enclave people would do good things.
Enclave
Don’t you have any ideas?! There is a flying beast coming with this mountain! It will destroy everything here! We are here to investigate it. But you have ruined all of our research!
Saashi
I’ve never heard of that…
Companion 1
Shush… Did you forget? Didn’t we find a great footprint while searching for the artifacts when those monsters from the forest were running for their lives?
Enclave
You idiots! You must be fooled by that mutant behind you! She must be here along with this mountain! Now Capital Wasteland is going to hell because of you! This! This can’t be the end!
Companion 1
…….Miss, I hope that you can give a good explanation when we get back.
