You don't need to bother with a sword on this pathetic little wolf. Plus it's not like you're flammable since you're made of crystal. "Now, I must crush you." You intone in your best faux Russian accent. You kinda sound like a terrible Russian Bond villain but life's not perfect. That doesn't stop you grabbing the wolf's front legs with one hand and it's back legs with the other and raising it over your head. You bring your knee up and the wolf comes smashing down.
CRACK!
Two halves of re-dead burning wolf hit the floor with a thump, bits of shattered spine protruding from each half.
"Thank you Fast, though next time perhaps you should just sword it in the face." Morlia doesn't raise her voice but from the uplifted eyebrow and tick under one eye you get the feeling she's really quite annoyed with you. Diana clinging to her side staring numbly at the mutilated dead wolf gives you an idea as to why.
"Sorry, I didn't expect a simple wolf would give me so much trouble." You kick the back half and a couple of gold coins are dislodged from somewhere inside it. How does it have coins? "Huh, cool." You decide and scoop up the coins.
"T-Take some of the flesh too," Diana says hesitantly, "it's a powerful reagent for certain potions." Obligingly you rip off a slightly less charred chunk of desiccated wolf flesh. You don't hand it too her, you get the feeling that would be too much right now. You look around the room again, now there's not an undead wolf to distract you.
It's still mostly trashed and partly caved in but there's a couple of pots and jars dotted around, some partly cracked open and others not. There's just the one way onward, opposite the way you came in. You can't tell what's down there, it's all shrouded in darkness that's not penetrated by Diana's light spells.

If you're going to go overboard with correcting every detail, I figure that making sure the tenses align is just as valuable for reader comprehension as any other correction.

How is it overboard? Clearly it wasn't because you find that I missed something. Though technically those tenses don't actually have to align. You know, because there's the schism between talking and not talking.
If you're going to go overboard with correcting every detail, I figure that making sure the tenses align is just as valuable for reader comprehension as any other correction.
Also, it mainly started as "Spell Morlia's name right, damnit" and after the spelling errors were fixed I said "f*k it".

We didn't exactly use the most lethal of unarmed attacks.
Perhaps next time we do this, we can drive its head forcefully into the ground or something.
Or use our sword on it. That is also a thing that we can do.
Although "I Know it would happen" kind of implies that we now know, but did not at the time, that we would find gold on the wolf, and is something of an odd thing to say.

-[X] As we loot, induct Diana into the mysteries of safely and efficiently looting Ayleid ruins:
--[X] There are six rules of looting Ayleid ruins. Rule one: Unless pressed for time, always give an area a once-over before you start looting. Rule Two: Watch the floors. Rule three: Watch the cielings. Rule four: Watch the walls. Rule five: If it is a grille, a slit, a hole or a series of holes, it is a trap, and will kill you. Rule six: Glowy crystals are valuable, and come in two kinds: Welkynds, which recharge your mana, and Varlas, which recharge all enchanted items on you, and command a hefty price. The former are sometimes out of reach, but can be retrieved by hitting them with missiles or telekinesis, while latter are caged, but can always be opened by a switch nearby.
-[X] If and when a lull in the conversation occurs, ask: "Okay I knew that it would happen, but seriously: Why did that wolf thing have gold coins?"
Edit: Also an interesting note that we should probably tell someone at some point: Between 4E 98 and 4E 100, the two moons are going to vanish for no readily discernible reason. The Thalmor are going to try to take credit for returning the moons, and it will do a lot to assist their attempts to recreate the Aldmeri Dominion, but they are full of shit.
The Septim line knowing about that in advance will do wonders for their stability.

Time to loot! But, given this is a deadly, trap infested Ayleid ruin, you're going to loot responsibly. Or at least as close to responsibly as you can. Not to mention give Morlia and Diana a lesson in how not to die in these places. Alright they may already know but it's best to cover the bases before the ceiling turns into spikes and falls on someone's head. Or you find another corridor of swinging axes. So many bad escort mission memories right there.
"Hey Morlia, wanna summon a scamp and get it to watch that other corridor while me and Diana loot?" You suggest. The High Elf stares balefully at you.
"Fast, Diana if you want to see if those pots and jars contain anything I shall watch the way back and summon a creature to observe the way forwards." She says blandly and stalks towards the archway you just came through, waving her hand toward the other corridor as she does. A scamp, better formed than the previous one, scampers to the relevant corridor and waits, staring into the gloom.
"Maybe you shouldn't tell your summoner what to do." Diana suggests quietly, glancing at Morlia to see if she heard.
"Whatever, she'll get over it." You dismiss the thought with an idle hand wave. "Now, here's how to loot these ruins safely. A most secret and noble art." You pose proudly and check the room again, just in case. Nothing seems different, scratches on the walls, broken stone benches and tables, caches of broken and unbroken jars. No chests, much to your disappointment, but they'd probably be booby trapped anyway.
"Rule one, always give a room a once over before you begin. I just did that so we don't have to worry about it." You nod sagely. Diana nods hesitantly.
"Rule two, watch the floors." You point to the white stone floor dramatically. Diana follows the instruction and stares at the innocuous flooring.
"Rule three, watch the ceilings." The white stone over your head doesn't look like it's about to turn into spikes and crush you, which is good. Actually it's got a quite nice marbling effect with some red veins running through it now you're looking closely and.... Focus!
"Rule four, watch the walls." Diana pokes the nearest wall. Nothing happens and she raises a skeptical eyebrow at you.
"Rule five, if it is a grille, a slit, a hole or a series of holes, it is a trap, and will kill you." There aren't any of those around to prove your point, likely why the zombie survived in here.
"Rule six, glowy crystals are valuable, and come in two kinds. Welkynds, which recharge your mana, and Varlas, which recharge all enchanted items you're carrying, and command a hefty price. The former are sometimes out of reach, but can be retrieved by hitting them with missiles or telekinesis, while latter are caged, but can always be opened by a switch nearby." That grabs Diana's attention.
"So that's why you tried to grab the ones on the upper level." She says, rummaging through pots now you've stopped telling her how not to die.
"Yep, dead useful Welkynd stones." You agree and start carefully removing the tops of pots to look inside them. Most house nothing but dirt and dust. In one though you find something really useful. A purplish crystal, a soul gem!
"It's only petty," Dianna says, disappointed. "Not even full either." She sighs but pockets it all the same. "Are we going further in?"
"Do you want to?" You ask, you didn't miss the tremor in her voice when she asked that question.
"I... yes." She hesitates for a second but nods firmly and smiles. "It's not like you and Morlia could do this without me, right?"
"Right." You don't miss the way her smiles gets wider and more confident at your answer.
