Beth

[lizrdfishr]

Beth has been killed.

She was a merchant who traveled Skyrim with two guards, Darryl and Carmella. They were overrun by a bear and two tigers while on the road from Falkreath to Riverwood in a pair of random encounters.

I got there just a minute too late. Only Carmella survived the second attack.

Beth was one of several merchants who, like me, travel Skyrim keep the roads clear and keep merchandise and gold circulating during the war. She sold a wide variety of clothes and shoes and was always willing to pay top dollar for Thalmor robes.

She and her troupe were peaceful and we had many friendly encounters on a harsh and often long road.

She will be missed.

Unless of course, she re-spawns.

I tried to search for Beth but because the publisher's name is Bethesda, all my searches are crapola. Seriously "Skyrim Beth -Bethesda" does not tell me what I need to know instead returning lots of info about .ini files...

Will Beth re-spawn or is her light forever lost from my current game?

beth doesn't exist, tigers don't live in skyrim and there's no dollars

If you have that in skyrim it's from a mod.

I know there is a character with a name like Carmella from a CC mod, but not Beth and Daryll...

Maybe Immersive Patrols. This is as close as I could get to a resolution:
https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/1tmbf1/has_anybody_else_seen_this/

In that thread someone mentions that they see this on XBox but Immersive Patrols does add "some non-Kajit caravans".

After further research into Immersive Patrols I also found that the mod author removed the protected status from the NPCs in the caravans and leveled them to 20.

Based on this, I believe I have my answer.

Beth from Immersive Patrols has passed and will no longer be found on the roads of Skyrim. At least until I decide to start a new playthrough.

Last night I got a note from the courier, and an inheritance of $100, minus taxes.

Severio Pelagia had died, somehow. I had to look him up:

"Severio Pelagia is an Imperial who can be found wandering around both inside and outside of Whiterun. He generally works at Pelagia Farm during the day, visits the Drunken Huntsman in the evenings, and sleeps in his own house in Whiterun at night. He is Nimriel's lover."

"If some vegetables are sold to him, he will leave the Dragonborn an inheritance of 100 Gold when he faces his death, and objects in both the farmhouse and his house in Whiterun will become available for taking with no criminal effect. If stolen from, he will send hired thugs after the Dragonborn."

I wonder how he died?

[SpeedFreak1972]

Doesn't he die in the battle of Whiterun? also dragon attack maybe ...

[smr1957]

Easy enough to find out in xEdit. Just check the NPC category of any mods that have one until you find an NPC with that name (arrange the names in alphabetical order first though, to make it easier).

As to the off-topic question, he could die due to a dragon attack, or if you have a mod that re-enables vampire attacks, he could have died as a result of that.

I think Beth comes from 'Adventurers and Travelers' mod. I have her and Carmella, plus a bunch of others who roam the roads from town to town. And, if I recall correctly, they will respawn if they are killed.

[lizrdfishr]

Adventures and Travelers mod is one that I don't have.

I am running Immersive Patrols and that does add some random non-Kajit caravans.

Thanks for the look and the comment!

It's Immersive Patrols. I used to run into them all the time in my LE game, along with a few others. Weirdly, at some point they started only selling one category of item - like only potions, or only weapons. But they're definitely from Immersive Patrols. I don't have it on my SE game, and I kind of miss them, honestly, but them getting into fights all the time like you said was a bit tiring.

I often slowed down and journeyed the road to/from Solitude with them. Sometimes even picking up a pair of Vigilant of Stendar. You get used to seeing them on the roads and they do stick out.

After all, the roads of Skyrim are not exactly teeming with peaceful traffic, especially at night.

Beth's troupe and mine made the trip from Ilinata to Solitude or back many, many times.

With most other games, when an NPC spawns they specifically wait for the PC. They just stand there waiting...

I like that in Skyrim, NPCs not affiliated with the player and often far off in the distance get into encounters. If I see it and I think I can make a difference I may rush to join the battle and tip the tide, especially when I see Vigilant vs vampires or guards vs a dragon.

Every now and then, I will be walking down the road and suddenly absorb a dragon soul... Ooooh... someone bagged themselves a big lizard. Thank you!

Immersive Patrols is one of my favorite mods and I am only just realizing why. :)

I have a few mods another one in my load order is populated lands and roads .... Skyrim feels empty without those mods.

Well the main problem here is that the difficulty scaling is just a received damage/damage dealt equation. I personally use adept and then use mods to make enemies smarter, use different fighting techniques, etc

from another thread then today...

So you posted that in another thread that wasn't mine. I wanted to ask a question but didn't because I didn't want to hijack that thread. But this thread is mine so I can hijack it without being a ♥♥♥♥.

I am looking for new mods for a new load order and am very interested in your statements.

Do you have any suggested mods for making enemy forces larger and more dangerous? I would love to run into a Thalmor patrol of eight or twelve or hit a bandit camp of 30-40 badass baddies.
