Dimhollow CryptThe puzzle is (eventually) solved, and the reward is the release of a vampire woman, remarkably well-preserved after centuries of captivity. Really, for a member of the undead, she's actually pretty life-like. Then, of course, our heroes have to get back out of Dimhollow Crypt, and those decorative gargoyles turn out to be more than adornments!
  As chaotic and scary as the battle looks, the gargoyles are badly outnumbered, and the result is a curbstomp. Our heroes return Serana to her family castle (her Papa is a most unpleasant sort), then head home to rest before reporting back to Fort Dawnguard.

They really aren't that great, are they? Rudi makes sure to upgrade his bows from time to time, and passes them out to his gang as well. Rudi's bows have more punching power than a crossbow and a higher rate of fire, too.
They're fun at first, though. And they do have some benefit attacking vampires...but yeah.

Rudi RecoversBack home for a brief respite: While Nami entertains Nina with a story, Rudi is busy at the forge. After a while, they find out what he's working on. Though her response is deliberately a little muted, Nami likes her new armor very much, and appreciates the effort Rudi put into making it.

Rigmor Rescue (WrecksYou) Draggingburn pre child psychologist
Lets see. Ackolytes stabs her to death... I can fix that.
Oh great, disembodied voice infomercials. 
Calamath, allow me to introdouche you to what you are diddling with...And of course, I've been pigging out on dragon souls for months now.
How many times before my banging her head against walls causes severe brain damage?
Whew. Out of there. The was the easy part. (Only fast travel allowed is game provided transportation) 
Closest transport would be the boat in Dawnstar. I'm going to have seven foot arms.
Finally! Where you go, darling? 
Progress at last! I suppose she might drown if I swim to the carriage.
GASP. Riften my good man. Wake me when we get there.
Another slog? No way. I've been meaning to buy a horse anyway.
Of course. Scammed. No horse.
Straighten out... If only Dragonborning had a job description.
Well aren't you all sweetness and light? 
Whoa gal. Take a few deep breaths.
Oh how nice. I'm supposed to talk to a chair. (Glitched again. Riggly went the way of my horse. When did I make my last save game?)

I don't remember all those Rigmor scenes the way you show them. Maybe the mod's been updated? Or maybe I just fast-traveled my way through some of 'em.

My game play mode may make things look different. I mega beefed up and armored the PC so I could ignore enemies as a general rule. Then it's all about sightseeing, watching the followers antics, lots and lots of picture taking, never hurrying and weather and time having a say in what I'm doing. No quest orientation, blast through and get it done. I get a quest, I guess where the location is, then weather and time permitting set out. I only use the map en route to get my bearings as I have a lousy sense of direction. Basically, the difference between someone getting jobs done and a tourist ogling the world about.

Foops
Riggly delivers a pep talk to the huge army. Interrupted by a bear wandering into camp and her speaking to the empty wilderness.
A bad idea making a save here at the new beflowered camp outside Ivarstead. Upon reload the game was missing a few things and Drags-on gurl found herself a couple thousand feet above Whiterun without terrain details loaded.

Sniffles : I can imagine the scene: Rigmor trying to fire up the crowd, a few random "RAH! RAH! DOWN WITH THE THALMOR! SKYRIM FOR THE NORDS! LOOK! A BEAR! GET THE BEAR! Get the bear! Get the bear!"

Nod nod nod.... Since the PC is converted into a mouse clicker throughout most of the slide show style melodrama it affords the player many opportunities to be an on site news reported recording events in 3rd party perspective.
I'm up to and dreading the upcoming major battle. Providing my wuss comp can handle it, 1, it's ultimately a foregone conclusion scripted event (no doubt with chocolate, peanut butter, cream cheese pastrami sammitch melodrama) 2, and the PC actions will have no effect on the outcome, 3, I really have no idea how to handle things. Just unleash Zephyr's full fury at random assuming the good guys are all set essential as it's going to be mass destruction, beef up the missing shouts to contribute to the mayhem (wussy garbage stuff for level 50+ PC), or maybe round up some additional assistance such as complete Serana's gig out to Soul Cairn, engage the final confront, then go TFC and grab shots of Durnheviir and some summoned undead getting in on things. That would be very protracted - but so is the entire mod - but make for a lot of interesting screen grab byplay.
I've got 40 or more saves throughout the entire mod, and since all events are scripted, it's very tempting the completely weird things out during the various predictable moments. Squishy once completely frapped a scene with Vilja where her and PC were sitting at a table with a non hostile spriggan and a live rabbit as the apparent entree.

Hint: When the final battle against the big New Order boss comes about, you'll be on top of a tower. Just make sure that he's between you and the parapet, and when he's done with his pretentious monologue, nail him with an Irresistable Force shout. He should go tumbling over the side to his demise, and you can follow the quest marker to find his carcass!

I would mash the shout key through the back of the keyboard the moment I saw it coming. I like Squishy's getpos setpos z + 200 or so. They fall and kersplat in front of you. |

Just make sure that he's between you and the parapet, and when he's done with his pretentious monologue, nail him with an Irresistable Force shout. He should go tumbling over the side to his demise, and you can follow the quest marker to find his carcass! I should have used the shout. Just as he was about to jump he sort of got an arrow in the back of his noggin. Skytrim fizzicks is a little fooked when bows get sooper dooper plonked up. almost sent him out to the You Can't Go That Way. Is that it? Pack her back to the cabin, chat up Sethri, collect another couple of useless melee weapons and escort her to the border? Or keep her on as a banana slug follower rivaling Serana without any interaction? I ask because I had to disable-enable and ResetAI about five times to move the events along.
I'll move her up to the departure point I suppose and see if there's one of those GAG BARF departure scenes with a choice attached.
Edit. So bye bye and summon ability. Here's hoping she's got some interesting dialogue. I've got several boat anchor melee fighters that just make my sightseeing miserable most of the time. Next up, Rig(or)mor(tis) does soul cairn.
