Things go a little better in Ilinalta's Deluge for part 2. The first two necromancers go down like chumps. After that is a master necromancer, who's only a smidge less difficult than the arch necromancer in the previous video. Again, it takes a few tries as one unlucky hit from her will one-shot us. I eventually realize that she's raising one of the previous necromancers at the beginning of each fight, so I carry the body far way and toss it in a side room to put a stop to that. After that it's just a matter of getting the right circumstances of Lydia tanking while I snipe with my bow.
After unlocking a bunch of cages that are there solely to level your Lockpicking skill, we then take on yet another master necromancer. However, even though this one starts with five skeleton adds, we take him down in a single attempt. Not sure why this one was so much easier, but I'm not complaining.
After that we simply have to reclaim the Black Star from Malyn Varen's skeletal corpse and we're done with this stage of the quest. We head back to Whiterun to sort and sell our loot as usual, then on to Solitude to train Speech some more since we leveled up. In the process we have yet another random vampire attack, but the multitude of townsfolk who show up to help make it a non-issue.
