## Companions

## Summary

You can let four ladies join you as companions. - Julienne, Ophelia, Melissa and Mystina. You will meet them in Julienne's shop except for Ophelia. Julienne and Melissa will be happy to join you if you wish. Ophelia will demands some money of you for her help. Mystina will not help you till you meet her demand.
Another thing that I strongly ask is that you could have the companions join you in the proper way because the conversations are necessary processes to adjust their attributes. If you should make them join you with other mods or methods, they would be much less helpful.

## How to communicate with a companion

You can order them to do as you wish by speaking to them and choosing topics. Common topics are as follows. Regarding their specialities, you can check specific description on other pages.
Additional Box
An empty box she carries. You can put your things in it. It may be a little convenient when you can not carry things due to overweight.
Follow me as usual
This order only shows up when you are ordering her to do something like sneaking, wating, riding on horseback...etc.
Follow me on horseback
She has her own mare near Julienne's shop. Please say it near her mare. Then, she will be following you on her mare till you speak to her and say "Follow me as usual". Her mare is enchanted and can walk on water.
Wait here
She will be waiting at current location till you speak to her and say "Follow me as usual".
Feel at ease
If you order this when you (and she) are indoors, she will behave at ease as if she were in her own house. This might be a little pleasant when given to her at your house in order to have her wait there. Else, if you order this when you (and she) are outdoors, she will walk around at ease.
Take a rest
If there is an available furniture near current loacation, she will go there and sit or sleep. If not, she will be only wandering, looking for a furniture. This order is for fun, and has no function such as restores her health. When you just want her to sit or sleep for screenshots and so on, it would be helpful.
Dismiss
You can dismiss her.
Share
You can share items with her. You can take her items or bring yours into her inventory. This is a fundamental function of a companion mod.
Sneak
She will be following you sneaking till you speak to her and say "Follow me as usual". Although this topic allows you to make her sneak manually, but without using this order, she will sneak automatically when you sneak as long as she is doing nothing specific.
Show your status
Her attributes and skill levels can be shown.
Avoid combat
She will never fight enemies till you speak to her and say "follow me as usual". You can also use it in order to make her escape. If you speak to her and say it when you are in combat, she will stop fighting and follow you. Please don't forget to say "follow me as usual" later. Otherwise, she will never fight.

## Summon-Companion/Horse

Each of the companions has a crystal in her inventory that teleports her to you by your clicking it in your inventory or accessing it through the hotkey. These crystals are provided to meet some users' wishes. Although I suppose nothing critical to your game would occur no matter when you use the crystal, but I would strongly recommend you not to use the crystals for another purpose.The crystals are provided just in order to simply reduce your trouble. If you use them when you are arrested, they will even enter the jail. More strange things would take place if you should use them in more different ways.
You will also find a crystal that can teleport the companion's mare to you. Its use is same as one for a companion. As may be expected, you can summon mares into an interior cell. As far as I know, you would not experience a critical problem even if you do that, but note that the horses in Oblivion are not meant to enter an interior cell. I would not recommend you to do that, unless you do just for fun at your own risk.
Now, you have both crystals for the companions and ones for the mares, but note that an NPC on horseback is dealt with as a horse. When you wish to summon a companion on horseback, you need to use a crystal for her mare, not one for herself.

## Horse

Every comapanion has her own mare. They stays near Julienne's shop in the beginning of the game. You can have a companion ride her mare by speaking to her and choose the topic of "follow me on horseback". Every horse that this mod adds can walk on water.

## Stop-Combat Function

While a companion is following you, you can force her to temporarily stop combat by simply speaking to her. If she starts combat that you don't expect, please try speaking to her. If her disposition is high enough to forgive her enemy, she will no longer fight. Also, this function would be helpful when you want her to do something you wish in combat.
