We dropped off the Stormcloak soldier in Whiterun, then trekked east to Ft. Dawnguard. It was a largely uneventful journey, although we encountered a couple of giant frostbite spiders and an angry spriggan mother in the countryside near Riften. They were nothing Carcette and I couldn't handle.
We finally passed Riften and headed into Dayspring Canyon, where we unexpectedly came upon two vampire scouts lurking near the glacial run-off pond! We took them unawares as they were focused on spying on the Fort, but they put up a vicious fight. We barely managed to put them down, then hurried through the civilian refugee camp to warn Isran that we were finally under direct surveillance by Ienarath's forces. We hypothesized that the dark queen had been disturbed by my recent appearance in Blackreach... the chess pieces were maneuvering.
Inside the fort, we came to find out that our Moth Priest ally, Dexion, had lost his sight and could no longer read the Scrolls! What were we to do now, after all that work collecting them? He suggested I seek out an "ancestor glade" somewhere in the pine forests, where I could perform a special ritual using canticle tree bark and ancestor moths to read the Scroll myself. I agreed, hoping I wouldn't go blind or mad. We were also asked by the Dawnguard to keep an eye out for any more dwemer crossbow or firebolt schematics.
