Teledra in Skyrim

Teledra Timberbrook, 24, Wood Elf On her sixth birthday, optimist Teledra was kidnapped and trained to become an assassin. Now free and searching for her family, Teledra’s quest leads her to the desolate land of Skyrim. But sinister things are happening in the land of cold, and unfortunately the uncoordinated Bosmer has found herself trapped in the centre of it.

Teledra: That’s disgusting. Oh dear Akatosh, what was this guy, some sort of morbid cannibal?

Teledra: Annnd there’s a journal. Of course there’s a journal that holds all the killer’s secrets in the middle of a cannibal’s dinner party… ah, gods. I hope I’m getting paid for this.

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: The Butcher, interesting. Maybe this woman will know what happened to this place. Or maybe it is this woman. Who else holds a pretty necklace like this.

Teledra: Oh hey, false panel. Oh ho ho, I’ll have your secrets now Sir Butc—

Teledra: BY THE NINE!

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: Follow a trail of blood, I can do that… I hope.

Teledra: I’m still going to bet 500 Septims that this takes me to a murder den where I am then, murdered.

Teledra: Or a murder house. Great.

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: Steward?

Jorleif: The name is Jorleif, actually. Do you need something?

Teledra: The murders that have been going on – I want to be a part of it.

Jorleif: I beg your pardon!?

Teledra: Wait no! I mean, I want to help solve them.

Jorleif: Hmm, very well. My men are stretched thin as it is, if you think you can help then go ahead.

Teledra: Oh yes! Inspector Teledra off to duty!

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: Oooh it’s warm in here. Hey, it’s Ulfric. I guess he escaped.

Ulfric: Only the foolish approaches a Jarl without summons. What is it you want?

Teledra: You don’t remember me?

Teledra: That’s hurtful; we rode in the same cart and everything.

Ulfric: Ah yes, the nervous looking Wood Elf. Ralof told me you escaped with his old friend… Hadvar, I recall.

Teledra: Ralof’s alive?

Teledra: Ralof and Hadvar were friends?

Ulfric: I’ll ask again – why are you here, did you have mind to fight against the Empire. Help free our people and save our land?

Teledra: Oh, actually I was just looking for the steward.

Ulfric: …

Ulfric: Check behind you.

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: (to the Guard) I guess nobody saw anything, although that grey-haired man was very suspicious.

Guard: Great, the bastard’s escaped again.

Teledra: You know you might be able to solve this… if you let me help.

Guard: You question two people and think you’re good enough, is that it?

Teledra: No but I have good feeling about the ‘had to’ man.

Guard: (sigh) Fine, you want to help then go talk to the steward.

Teledra: Really? Does this mean I can be called Inspector Teledra? Please call me Inspector Teledra.

Guard: No.

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: Hey I remember you – I split my cabbage collection with you. Did you see what happened?

Silda: I head a scream and came running but she was already…

Teledra: That’s okay, thanks for your help.

Calixo: You’re not going to ask her if she killed Susanna?

Teledra: Right, because a beggar could murder someone with a half-eaten carrot.

[teledrainskyrim]

Calixo: It’s always sad when someone has to die.

Teledra: ‘Has to’?

Calixo: Yes, all death is sad when they must part with a love one.

Teledra: I see. So did you see the killer?

Calixo: Sorry, I saw a fellow running away but didn’t get a good look at him.

Teledra: Yeah, of course you didn’t. Of course.

Calixo: What are you insinuating?

Teledra: Did you kill Susanna?

Calixo: No!

Teledra: I’ve got my eye on you, ‘has to’…

[teledrainskyrim]

Guard: Stand back citizen.

Teledra: Is this some sort of cannibalistic Nordic ritual?

Guard: Excuse me? Another girl has been killed and I’m inspecting.

Teledra: Another?

Guard: She’s the third taken.

Teledra: Why don’t you people, you know, stop it.

Guard: Well if you think you can do better then go ahead. Question the witnesses, examine the body – show me your investigator skills.

Teledra: Okay, fine. I can do that. Hey you, grey-haired man!

Guard: Hey, stop that, I wasn’t being – urgh.

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: I can grab a few supplies from the market before I head back to Riften. I don’t really want to stay here for longer than I have to afte— By the Nine!

Teledra: Are they sacrificing someone?

Teledra: Oh never mind there’s a guard. Still, what in Oblivion is going on here?!

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: Back in the drabness of Windhelm. I hope Aventus is still hanging around.

Aventus: Hey – you’re back! Did you do it, is Grelod… you know?

Teledra: She’s dead.

Aventus: Yes! I knew you would do it, I just knew the Dark Brotherhood would save me. Here’s everything I promised you.

Teledra: Eh, keep the heirloom. So, er, what are you going to do now?

Aventus: I guess I’ll go back to Honorhall after the clean up the mess.

Teledra: I see.

Aventus: Thank you so much again! The Dark Brotherhood is the best!

[teledrainskyrim]

Shadr: So you’re really going?

Teledra: Relax, it’s only for a few days. I have no desire to stay in Windhelm for longer than I have to. It’s so cold and grumpy there.

Shadr: Aha, okay. Good luck Teledra.

Teledra: You too – and don’t make any more deals with the Thieves Guild!

[teledrainskyrim]

Shadr: Teledra I– I wasn’t expecting you. Come in.

Teledra: Hey Shadr. I need to leave for a few days but coach-man won’t take me until morning, so I was wondering if I could spend the night here.

Shadr: With me?

Teledra: Well not with you, but in your house. Or I could always use the stables. Keerava just won’t let me rent.

Shadr: Ah, she’ll get over it eventually. We don’t have a spare bed but you can always sleep on the ground I guess. It’s better than the stables at any rate.

Teledra: Thank you so much. I really didn’t want to sleep with all the horse dung.

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: What do you think; do I make the perfect thief?

Brynjolf: Well it’s better than the barmaid dress and bloody handprint. I suppose you’re bothering me for a good reason, lass?

Teledra: Right. I need to go for a few days – up to Windhelm.

Brynjolf: Ah, you need to tell your client the contract is complete. We’re not that different from the Brotherhood, you know. It’s just our hands are relatively a bit cleaner.

Brynjolf: I have no problem with your break, though you should have gone to Mercer.

Teledra: Yeah but he might have been busy…

Brynjolf: …

Teledra: Okay he scares me. Can you just tell him I have some things to do? Say my father is dying or something.

Brynjolf: I don’t—

Teledra: Thank you Bryn you’re the best – see you in a few days!

[teledrainskyrim]

Tonilia: What are you gawking at?

Teledra: I need to get my armour from you.

Tonilia: Oh, right, the newbie. I guess you’re the right size for Soren’s old gear. Don’t want to go putting the new stuff to waste.

Teledra: Waste?

Tonilia: Brynjolf told me you’ve got the Goldenglow assignment. Mercer really must hate you.

Teledra: It’s that bad?

Tonilia: Bad? Vex is one of our best and she barely got out alive.

Teledra: Maybe I shouldn’t have made the dish joke…

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: Hey – Bryn, wait!

Teledra: About my being the Dragonborn… you didn’t tell anyone, did you?

Brynjolf: Ah, that. Don’t worry, lass, I’ll keep your secret – even your second job.

Teledra: Good, because if you don’t I’ll, uh, shiv you in your sleep.

Brynjolf: Sounds fair. Oh, and Teledra? Don’t ever call me ‘Bryn’ again.

Teledra: You can call me Tele.

Brynjolf: I don’t think so.

Teledra: How about Tels?

[teledrainskyrim]

Teledra: He was certainly nice.

Brynjolf: Don’t worry; Mercer’s been a bit on edge ever since the Guild started going downhill. But I’m sure that you’ll help turn things around.

Teledra: So what was this non-Vex-y test?

Brynjolf: Ah, Goldenglow. Basically you need to set empty his safe and burn three of the estate’s hives.

Brynjolf: Oh, and he has the island surrounded by hired mercenaries. Try to avoid them.

Teledra: …

Teledra: Fantastic.
