Go on planning, folks!
http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3666
We should probably be in here a lot more, mainly because we are starting to create pretty big plots and we need to know where they're going.
Yeah, I agree with that. Still, MM is of on vacation for a week (canadian honored user).
I'll be gone a lot this summer, but that's still a little ways ahead.
plots that I have introduce:
Mannimarco: King of Worms alliance with Dark Brotherhood
Army from Morrowind, landed near Mournhold from Vvardenfell
Patholos may start a new Guild with the help of Karn
Yeah, all that kinda took me by surprise, as we were trying to get rid of the Silhouette in order to bring the real villain (Veric) to the forefront, and now we also have Mannimarco, Patholos and Karn to deal with as major contenders. Not that this is bad, as it can add a lot more depth, we just have to plan how everything is going to fit before we jump in.
Since the original plan was to have the Sil taken care of, Veric form a new government, and later take control, we need to change a few things to fit the new developments. Karn, Patholos, and Mannimarco have obviously formed some kind of pact against the Silhouette, will they temporarily join the group of heroes against a common enemy, or will Veric and them strike up an alliance?
And I guess if Shogun doesn't become regular again soon, I'll take over Veric until he comes again. I'll also start posting as the Sil more to get things going.
Any ideas on any of this?
I think The villains have some form of allegiance. After all, Karn still has Veric's yellow amulet. He'll remember that somewhere along the line and report in....... maybe in a few months
ANyway, Flint is talking to the countess......
I just realized, Dantrag, you have some of the biggest figureheads as your own characters now..... I thought my characters made a lot of pivitol choices (conflicting or otherwise). ![]()
PS: Other sub-plots-
Romatic relationships.... lots,
conspiracies, lot of those too,
and plenty of grudges. ![]()
PPS: Just for curiosity, if the nerevarine makes an appearance, which one will he/she be? There are so many!
Oh yeah, I abandoned my whole Vivec argument. In AMU, Vivec the city was totally destroyed, and it was pretty common knowledge that vivec the god was dead.
As far as the nerevarine goes, I say we leave him out. Number one, there's always going to be a few people that disagree with our choice of person, and number two, we don't really want a god-like good guy. That's for the baddies.
I don't know if this was ever put out in the open, but Shogun and myself had done some brainstorming and come up with a decent idea that would actually work well with the new guild. We were thinking that the group would deal with the Silhouette, and that would give Veric's current form (Altair, he's still hanging with the group) some fame in Tamriel, and he would use that fame to come to power and create a new democratic government ruled by a large council. The council would pass a law that put one man in control in times of crises. Well, Veric would use that to become emperor, which allows him to unlock a lost power that allows him to control those that swear an oath to him. We had originally planned for this power to extend to the dead, and now we have Mannimarco, a great necromancer to help with his knowledge of the dead.
So the lost power explains Veric's purpose for wanting to become emperor, and Mannimarco's entrance gives a means to improve said power, and I was thinking that maybe Karn and Patholos's new guild could become Veric's elite soldiers used for the most important of missions.
Also, we've kind of lost sight of the prophecy side of things involving the kiddos, and this explains their role as well; the three children (Satyana, Amrita, Rann) all have the power to break the bond to Veric...
Thoughts/questions are welcome.
That sounds good to me. I'm going to catch up on the playground thread for now but when Veric comes to power as 'president', Flint would be among the first to swear such an oath.
Hmmm....sounds quite good to me Danny! Now have you two smarties also come up with how and in what way those kiddos can break the bonds to Veric?
How will Brianna fit in? And for all it matters what about Serene? Shall I dispose of her or what?
Well, Ian will not swear his loyalty to Altair. He'll aid the new democrasy in his own way though. Issac will pledge himself, if he believes this is truly what is best (and also if Satyana decides to). Kirana is a similar story to Ian. And Karn would just do what he is told as long as it makes sense.
Tellie is also having a lot of trouble, so someone might as well take over Amrita and Telina for that matter. And what about all the inactive people (Jonathan, Dalrus, and Sodsa)?
PS: Ian's resolve would be shaken if Serene went away (the more dramatic interpretation applies).
Patholos would have some trouble with the new government, but would probably get used to it
Mannimarco desires the only thing he has always desired, power, so it would be hard to get him to cooperate, unless someone or someones gave him the power he wants
Well, Ian is distancing himself from the others. It's nothing personal, he's just doing what he believes is right for everyone. He'll still be fighting against the Silhouete.
As for the Narza'Tai, it will take a bit of time for them to get on their feet and get used to the changes taking place, but they will be an instrumental factor in the Silhouete's demise (hopefully they'll be ready in time). They also hope to gain a position of power in Veric's new government (even so far as to take land in the Ashland of Vvardenfell to make a center of leadership).
Patholos is going to take the Shadow Eaters to observe the Silhouette's Army, get outfitted, and help Mannimarco fortify the Topal Bay.
Well, I'll just edit my last post to avoid double-posting.
I'm back! And it looks like some interesting plans are taking place. So far I've just read the planning thread and I'm liking Dantrag's idea about the lost power business. It certainly sounds like something that we can work with. I'm not sure how Flogir would handle the situation. I'm sure he could be deceived into making an oath to Veric. Voltar on the other hand might not swear an oath, as he doesn't wish to lose control over himself, but he'd certainly still be on Veric's side.
Then again, Veric might seek to suppress his ally and try to deceive Voltar to swear an oath to him. Or Veric might just wish to possess "The Staff of Worldly Demise" and think the only way he'd get it is by controlling Voltar. We'll see.
For now, I'm going to catch up on the playground!
I'll give it a few more days before I take control of Veric again, as I don't see how we can go much longer without him.
Alright, so how far will the Sil and its army get before they begin to wane? The Imperial City? Cyrodiil? The latter would be more dramatic, I guess. It will take awhile for the Narza'Tai to be ready, and I (and POS) want them to have a role in the fighting.
So the Morrowind Army is heading towards The Imperial City? Now would it be possible for Serene to meet them? Or are the gang too far away? I mean Serene left Rann and his party a while ago but I may be senile but I don´t exactly remember where thay are....
Let's see, double march. That means three days, right? If they can keep it up without supplies that is. Anyway, I was wondering if I should let the Chorrol cavalry go ahead and meet the Morrowind army head-on. In the meantime, I'm going to add some atmosphere.
I´ll be away for the weekend...see you sunday evening!
Welcom to the RP, Tenek!
Good to see you decided to join up (after talking about joining for weeks but never actually doing it). Hope you find enough time to post, my friend!
WILL ANYONE PLAN ANYMORE.......-ORE..........-ORE
Guess not....
Good Call -
Army of Morrowind - what's the plan? Maybe they can meet up with the main group and wage war on the Silhouette? (Don't forget; Altair needs to play a part, as he has to gain fame and start a new government)
We need to find a way to form an alliance between Army of Morrowind and the new guild, also.
And Manimarco and Veric.
And we still have to bring in Amrita and get someone to control her.
I believe the Amrita character was left to me when Tellie was gone. I guess I can control her once the need comes along. Just give me some warning and I'll see what I can do.
I´m thinking....Revie (I think) suggested that Serene could bump into the MW-Army....I think that could be ok...right?
Amrita....so will she meet with Brianna, Rahvin and Sadril maybe? Or with the main group..
(Mallie! Are you sure you´re evil enough to control Amrita?
)
Well, last time Tellie posted as Amrita, she was watching the group in their last (up until now) camp. So I imagine she hasn't gone far since then.
that's fine. then i can actually post as rahvin every once in a while
I really don't know what would be in those bushes. I think minque had a plan, but I'm not aware of it.
Hmmm in fact I do not have an outlined plan....I just thought it would be cool to have something or someone attack them, or at least encounter with them...like Amrita....she´s in the neighbourhood isn´t she? Or maybe Rahvin and Brianna finally have arrived...Then there´s this other guy, this Tenek...I mean SOMEONE´s just gotta be there.....
On the other hand....it might be in Satyana´s imagination....or some dark magic that affects her at a certain time.....
So if anyone feel like jumping in on them.....just do it! if not...well I´ll look into it tomorrow!
Well, Tenek is following the main group (I wrote that post) and he isn't evil..... just has a messed up moral compass. And according to Mallet, Amrita is going to supernaturally warp to somewhere in Morrowind to meet Brianna and co. (yeah, it leaves some plotholes to just do that.....)
Well Rahvin and Bree are heading towards morrowind, while Rann and the others are still in Cyrodiil.
I think Mr. Mallet was going to have Amrita be in Morrowind to, and ignore the fact that Tellie had her in the neighborhood.
Ah well....ok then, I´ll let it be some weird effect on Satyana then...something she doesn´t know and never had experienced before...got to get things moving there..
Hmm where are they heading btw? Sat, Rann and Issac?
they're going to rescue Kirana. Rann has a variation of a detect life spell active, so he knows where she is.
BTW: what exactly is the nature of Satyana's tattoo? Is it the same as Rann's or not? It seems to work a bit differently, but I can't figure it out.
Satyana´s tattoo has it´s origin from the ancient ashlanders, it´s merely a tattoo that gives her strength, it sort of protects her. In my story, Serene got a tattoo from a wise woman in order to protect and strengthen her.
It´s rather big, it goes from one breast to the other...like a tribal of some sort
Satyana has got a similar one. Serene made it when Tyana was a small child...it protects from evil magic, could come in handy if they maybe meet with Amrita..later on!
so maybe her tattoo isn't so friendly with Rann's, since his is dark in nature and hers protects from dark magicka?
makes an interesting conflict.
I don't know if that should be considered irony or not...... I think it is.
it could even be Rann's tattoo that made Satyana get paranoid all of a sudden and spark her new powers. Makes perfect sense.
Here's a thought, the excuse I've been using for Kirana's lack of resistance is that the constant sharing of pain effectively jams the victum's (sp.) ability to focus magicka.
Pain is a rather distracting thing, so it effectively acts the same as a silence spell without the silence..... that doesn't sound right, but you get it.
Since Mannimarco gave himself the same immortaility he gave Kirana (therefore sharing pain also) he may not be able to use magic..... crap, now I realize how messed up that post looks.
I see you, Shogun!
I suck
i am unworthy of any among you who forgive me for my absence. for far too many times have i done this too you and once more i have nothing more to offer in exchanged for being allowed back into the rp but my apologies and my mediocre writing skills.
i am back. for how long, my word is useless to tell, but i have returned. i assure you.
i will not request it, however if you so see fit i will resume veric's player. i only ask for soldin and sadril to be allowed under my command once more.
no problems, man. Real life takes precedence over an RP on the internet, no matter how many times you shake the magic eightball.
If you want a summary, I'll gladly give it to you if you tell me where you left off.
As for Veric, you can have him back. (I only made two or three possts with him) There are some new planning developments to involve, too, that I'll tell you about once you get caught up.
i would greatly appreciate a summary.
sadril bri and rahvin were in a cave somewhere... veric was acting as altair and some werewolf mumbojumbo happened. outside of the playground i was complaining about florodine's absence and needing the silhouette out of the way so i could continue my own plot.... which may or may not still be plausible.
After the werewolf thing...
The Silhouette brought over some tsaeci from Akavir (snake people) intent on destroying the Imperial City right now.
Karn and Patholos (both former DB members) took control of the guild and renovated it, taking focus away from the creepy deity Sithis and renaming it the Narza-Tai (did I spell that right?)
Mannimarco (the King of Worms) showed up, forming a shaky alliance with the Narza'tai. He appeared to the group, and Kirana was the hero, teleporting him and herself away. Rann, Satyana, and Issac left the group to rescue her from the necromancer. (Rann discovered a bit more about his ability by absorbing Mannimaarco's magicka)
The group's goal is still to kill the Silhouette.
Veric is still acting as Altair, though he's more in the background. He observed Rann absorbing dark magicka, and is in possession of Kirana's tome with lotsa info on the tattoo. He stayed with the main group, still planning on gaining fame by disposing of the Silhouette and forming a new government with Rann's help.
Flint has gathered a small army from Chorrol, and they joined the larger Army of Morrowind to fight the Silhouette. We plan on having the Narza'Tai join that alliance as well.
I shared with everyone the plans we talked about via PM, and that's what we're moving towards, though with a few readjustments.
Veric will ally with Mannimarco (his knowledge of the dead will allow him to use the ancient emperor's power to extend to the dead and the living)
He may or may not ally with the Narza'Tai (not sure if we decided on that)
And Rahvin, Bree, and Sadril haven't moved.
ok. im gonna read a little still just to grab some details.
so sadril and them havent moved at all? like not an inch?
nope; there's just the possibility of Durzogs. I think you were there for that.
just an idea; could you make it so that soldin followed satyana, rann, and issac? rann needs some better company. (
to you, minque and revan)
i will do that in just a moment. and with sadril bri and rahvin.. i think a summary post getting them out of the cave is in order? i personally would just like to see sadril as well as the two notable characters from part I that are with him back in the story.
has tellie been around?
Tellie has not been around for some time. MetalMallet will take control of Amrita. (we decided to ignore the fact that Tellie put her in cyrodiil and place her in Morrowind to make our characters' trips worhtwhile)
Yeah, we need to conclude this trip with Rahvin and co. - I want Rann and Sadril to meet again. Think of all the people that will be offended!
i feel the same way about sad and rann. it will happen, i swear it. perhaps i can come up with a post just to get them outside of the cave in a bit, would that be acceptable?
then the three mess around in MW for a while, find amrita, then veric shows up and acts like an ars.
yeah, we all need to buckle down and take care of the Sihouette so we can get moving on the good plottage.
Oh, FYI - I have a new character. an ex-priest vampire girl.
she would probably hate Sadril.
all the more fun for him. at a later date perhaps, but there are more pressing things now. i replied in the playground, btw.
They're headed south, kinda towards Leyawiin; they're going after Mannimarco, hoping to save Kirana.
so is it just rann satyana isaac and soldin?
the others are where exactly?
Yes.
The others are in the Valus Mountains, kinda sitting around. They plan on trailing the Silhouette's army.
EDIT: actually, they've already started moving.
and so veric is trailing who? and if he plans to ally with mannimarco... i take it rann and co. + kirana will not be able to kill him?
and what are they accomplishing by chasing down mannimarco other than hoping to aid kirana? (if im spelling that right)
Veric is with that same group, trailing the Silhouette and his army.
Rann, Satyana, Issac, Soldin, will probably just end up getting Kirana out of there. I'm thinking they will return to the Imperial City after the Silhouette is defeated. (That way Veric/Altair will have his fame and he and Rann can start their democracy.)
ok... for my own reference as well as others. (im basically just summing up danny's summary lol)
Sad, Bri, Rah are not moving and are somewhere between skyrim and MW. their objective is to find Amrita who is in MW.
Serene as well as others who i cant name are chillin near the vallus mts. in cyrodiil keeping an eye on the sil's army. flint and someone else (?) also has an army at their disposal or something. so these peeps plus veric seem to be the ones who end up dealin with sil.
rann soldin satyana and isaac are heading south towards leyawiin to rescue kirana
kirana is down south hangin with mannimarco.
taking into account the people who i cant name off the top of my head that should be just about everyone...
Serene kinda left. I think minque wanted her out or something.
The group includes: Green-Root, Flogir, Aerona, and possibly Tenek.
and if you could (sorry to ask so much, im still catching up reading but im slow) karn and patholos recreated the DB or something along those lines? where are they located as of right now?
They are in the same place as Mannimmarco. (being allies)
I'm thinking that the group's appearance could actually create the temporary alliance against the Silhouette.
things keep getting worse for the silhouette it seems
i made a post for rahvin and bri. hope its alright. i'd really like to post with sadril again but i didnt know what to do so i just pulled something out of my boat.
and with soldin, im sorry but all i can manage is small talk...
that was a good post for sadril and gang. we needed to get that moving.
what is this tome exactly? the one of kirana's that veric has?
the tome belongs to Kirana, but she gave it to Veric.
Rann asked Kirana for help in researching his tattoo, and Veric/Altair offered to help. Kirana gave him a tome about it despite her distrust. He also revealed a tiny bit of himself to her by hinting at the fact that he could read daedric.
sorry I missed all this, was watching the first Pirates of The Carribean with Mom (I saw the second one first). But know I've got to go catch some sleep for school, beanos noches!
i have to go soon as well.. im reading, but i have trouble finding where rann used his tattoo... he did use it or something right?
yeah, he absorbed some of Mannimarco's dark magicka during the showdown.
He released the magicka in the form of a detect life spell, so that he could find Kirana. Since Mannimarco is so far above the average mage, the spell cast allowed Rann to feel Kirana's presence over long distances. (as opposed to a typical detect life spell)
Since rann wasn't fatigued or anything afterwards, he came to the conclusion that his tattoo was of a dark nature. It is also slowly spreading over his body. (he hasn't made this known to anyone else.)
Wow, you guys have been talking up a storm it seems. Glad to see you getting back into the RP Shogun. I have a feeling things will pick up a bit more now (I wouldn't say it's been slow while you've been gone, but I wouldn't say it's been fast either).
Oh yea, you've forgotten about Veric's ally, Voltar. Through this whole time spent fighting werewolves, meeting Patholos, and fighting Mannimarco, Voltar has been trailing the party. It was recently decided that Voltar would "find" Veric with the party after Rann and co. left. The excuse was that the Silhouette's army had separated Altair from his "counsellor", Voltar, and it had taken Voltar this long to find him.
ok, well it seems that group has left. or it can be inferred from how much soldin and rann have talked.
concerning my last post. i dont want to roleplay sadril rahvin and bri all the way to vvardenfell... so perhaps amrita can happen through soluthis when the trio passes through? soluthis being a town in west mainland MW, south of black light
http://til.gamingsource.net/maps/minibigmaproadslore31gv.jpg
im off to bed im afraid. i will be on tomorrow or so help me....
Haha, I just suggested that she could be in Mournhold on the playground thread, since that is on the mainland and I think its seedy underground would be someplace that Amrita would simply frolic in.
We still got time to decide though. Plus, I need to re-read Tellie's character thread post about Amrita to know what I'm going off of.
Welcome back, from the Priest!
The Narza'Tai is the new guild, if you didn't know, and it isn't exactly the Dark Brotherhood. THe Narza'Tai is like the Morag Tong and Fighters Guild and they are noble. Thats really all for right now.
Ok...I gotta go. So I´m off tomorrow so I might not always be online. I´ll be in Berlin and will return the 23rd
Please drag Satyana and Bree with you when you move m´kay?
Well, *clears throat*, as co-leader of the Narza'Tai, I shall clarify. The formation of the Narza'Tai took place after Karn and Patholos destroyed the Judgement of Sithis (a symbol of Sithis' devine might) and denouncing Sithis as unworthy of any mortal's loyalty.
One of the first orders of business after winning the war with the Silhouete will be.... erm, clearing out the competition. More specifically eliminating the Morag Tong to sever ties with the past (not to mention, showing this new guild's superiority over its predecessor's).
The Narza'Tai place an extraordinary focus on fighting as a team. All assassins train and live as a group, while the brotherhood was motivated more by simple slaughter and greed, the Narza'Tai hold the well-being of all brothers and sisters above all.
Profits are shared, and the teams learn to fight and plan as one, forming a minature hieracrhy of their own. The training is more strict than the Dark Brotherhood, but it is also more more well-rounded varient. Assassins train in conventional weapons as well as exotics like chain whips and wrist blades. Every team has at least two archers to cover the melee fighters and serve as look outs.
The Narza'Tai wish to sieze power in the aftermath of the fighting, forming a stable base for their chapter of history. POS and I have decided that Vvardenfell shall the their central power base, but there will be multiple strongholds that will be used as way stations and places of refuge.
So they shall be a political presense as well. I'll eleborate further if it is necessary.
i've managed to forget where voltar and green root ran into eachother.. was veric present?
We were interogatting Karn at the time. He was in the Hero Hill cave before and after the explosion.
it doesn't really matter if Veric was present or not, seeing as he looks like 'Altair'
If I remember correctly, I think Green-Root actually saw him transform. I could be wrong about that though, but based off Jack's post with Green-Root, it seems to me that Green-Root knows about Veric's transforming ability. I'm sure Jack could clear this up when he gets back, because honestly, I don't quite remember if Veric was "Veric" or "Altair" during that interrogation.
hmm... i think soldin may die at the hands of mannimarco.
regardless i prolly wont be able to post tonight. tomorrow definitely though.
Actually, Dantrag, it does matter. Yes, Veric was in Veric-form at the time so Green-Root hasn't drawn the connection yet. But Voltar was there as well and he seemed to be quite intimate with Veric. (No, not in that way. Good allies, that better?)
What Green-Root is trying to say is that he suspects Voltar of working on two sides simultaneously.
so the people keeping an eye on sil's army... what are the plans for them? we should get things moving me thinks....
Ashes of the Dark Brotherhood still hold, apparently, and Mad Patholos is going away for a while, be on the look out! Commander Astratus is depressed again, watch out for more drinking, and Should Mannimarco fall in love, wouldn't that be hilarious, or just keep him one hundred percent in character....
Was Kirana hitting on Mannimarco just then?
Well, Kirana is a captive, so woyldn't you want your captor to have weakness for you.
Anyways, she is occassionally flirtatious. Not an umbrella-seller just enjoys flirting every now and again (it's how see works contracts a lot of the time).
Sorry, Dantrag, but I was editting while you made that last post.
Yea so you guys are prob tired of me doing this.. I didn't insert Jon back into the story but I kind of explained what happened next..
I might try to work on my side story a bit..
Lord Revan - sorry; you want me to edit, or do you want to edit?
Channler - welcome back!
Sure, you can edit, maybe Rann can feel someone else's heat for a change.
heh ill drink to that.
got that editing business cleared up, Revan.
I don't know why, but I feel like this isn't the first time someone the heroes are trying to save is actually taking good care of themself without the heroes help. And in this case, getting buddy-buddy with the enemy.
It's almost funny, the heroes are so focused on a life or death fight that they never stop to imagine the unlikely possibilities.....
may i refresh your memory......think back with me, think back to when you were a LOTR nut........Didn't the dead help the livinG??? Lol
I never really was in to LOTR (I only saw one of the movies).
then let me fill you in.....
Aragorn, the Heir King of Gondor (Minas Tirith), travelles with Legolas Greenleaf (Elf, Orlando Bloom) and Gimli Elf-Friend to the Dwimmordale (sp.) and they met the Dead King. Aragorn enlists the Oathbreakers, men from the days of Aragorn's ancestors that broke their oath to serve Aragorn's ancestors....the Oathbreakers were made into ghosts, but this isn't where stuff like this should go, back to planning!
Mannimarco is going to fight the pair and throw the fight....
Patholos is still mad as a hatter....
Commander Astratus is marching and Is a day and a half away from the Imperial City.
And now it looks like the Sil's army is going to start getting harrassed by a combo of Flint's arrows and a possible forest fire. Yippe!
perhaps ill wait for danny to get on... but maybe the sadril party should just 'jump' to soluthis to avoid roleplaying the journey?
mallet, would you mind placing amrita there or would you prefer somewhere else? you mentioned mournhold... but that is a tad far if we were to stay realistic.
and btw, where is the group with flogir located exactly? is it wooded or mountainous or what?
Well currently I think Flogir's group is basically around the Cheydinhal area, which is Northeast of the Imperial city. It's quite well wooded and there's the odd clifface as well if I remember correctly. It's gets mountainous after Cheydinhal, but the army isn't travelling that way.
And I can place Amrita in soluthis no problem.
I warn you now though, I'm not sure how much RPing I'll put in today because right now my modem is acting really bad because of the storm that knocked out the power a couple of days ago. It takes like 5 to 10 minutes just to refresh or like update to a new screen because the modem keeps dropping the connection.
Plus, The Ultimate Fighter is on tonight.
well dont worry bout it today. i was just wonderin.
i just realized, counting myself and channler there's eight of us active RPers
dantrag, minque, revan, metal, jack, priest, channler and myself... only one female too..
im not complaining or anything, but at times it seems theres more people... maybe cos of all the characters. i count about 20 active or so.
other times it feels like less cos of how slow it moves around here
And four of those characters would be mine. I think I went a little overboard with creating characters..... Anyway, I'm going to post for Tenek (My firend is having trouble posting on school days).
You know what, I am probably going to kill off Commander Astratus in the first battle, and someone from the Hero group will have to take control. And just a side comment, The Silhouette's Army is coming from the east? That's where the Army of Morrowind is coming from as well.....that might need to be fixed.....
Umm, Morrowind coming from the North-east and Silhouette from the South-east?
And what are we going to do. Torch the forest, or build a dam? Frankly, are we near a big enough river for that? And do we have time to build a big enough dam? Despite Green-Root's and Tenek's complaints, I'm still for the forest fire. Just lob in a fireball and voila. With a dam you first have to build it and then wait for the water to collect.
If I may, since we are on the subject of dams, achem, "Where is the damn dam tour guide?" National Lampoons
Anyways, if the Silhouette is coming from the south, and the Army of Morrowind is coming from the North, they should meet in the Imperial City for climatic purposes. And I think Sadril and the group should meet some recruiters over in Morrowind to show the stress of the troop needs. Whatever is fine,....
On the dam subject, I was suggesting that we destroy a "pre-existing" one (ie one we created) and then destroy it, which would result in a surplus of water where there wasn't a lot of water before.
If they're coming from the South East, there's a river that runs North to South from Cheydinhal that they'll have to cross. It's like a river that connects around the Bravil area. I couldn't give you a name for it though.
I'm hoping Tenek will show up and post himself, but I shall not hold my breath. It can be difficult to RP someone else's character when you don't properly know their persona. Ian isn't going anywhere until Dantrag posts again, likewise for Issac and the others trying to save Kirana..... unless Shogun posts as Soldin (Or Minque as Satyana)
Karn is also inert until the fight breaks out.
Ok, then I suppose we wait.
Back to the dam subject, because I'm still a bit confused. Mallet, when you say 'that we created' do you mean we'll add a dam into the rp-lore that has been around before the whole Silhouette thing began? We in this case is a bit fuzzy, you know. We could be us forumgoers or Flogir and co.
If added to the lore, then it might actually work. Such a dam will be a bit more sturdy than one made by Flogir and co, but destruction is no problem. (Really, it all depends on how far Altair and Voltar are willing to go.)
Yea, I meant that; we add it to the rp-lore. That it is all ready there and we just have to go destroy it.
Water damage is just as cool as fire I guess ![]()
And Tenek will like it because we're "restoring" things into their natural balance
Ah, ok. We'll restore the natural balance and any flooded tree is a sacrifice for the greater good. Now let's bust the dam! Wooh!
Ok, I'll post in the playground.
whoa, sorry for holding up the posts, had one of those mandatory employee meetings, tied up my free time..... also my girlfriend is on to me waking up and posting...
anyways, Mannimarco and the group, who will win, how will it come out?
sorry i was out for the weekend. had to go across state.
anyway. mannimarco will probably 'win'... save for the liberation of kirana or whatever you want to call it.
however i plan to kill soldin off in the fight with mannimarco. we'll see how that works out when the time comes.
its funny. isaac and satyana keep promising rann that soldin wont die. boy will he be hateful when it happens
For some reason I got that whole "noble death" cliche from the movies stuck in my head now. I can just picture Soldin jumping out in front of a fireball or something
Mannimarco doesn't use that sort of magicka..... He uses the raw energy left over from the previous eras..... He learned to tap into it with the help of a sorcerer from beyond the veil..... The magicka he uses is darker and more uncontrollable, that is why sometimes a nexus of magicka is created. It's like oil and water.
To be perfectly honest, I don't understand what exactly Mannimarco is doing with the tattoos, so I'm gonna wait until i get more info before posting in the playground.
and just an FYI, Rann and Satyana's tattoos are completely different.
Mannimarco is using the tattoos as a distraction so that Rann and Satyana are distracted enough with the energy coursing through their body. Mannimarco wants them to feel powerful and confused about their "gift."
When and how is solding going to die? and do you want his body "desecrated by revival" or just have him die?
He could be resurrected and fight against his friends....
So, where should Ian show up? Somewhere east; perhaps meet up with the agents he sent over there? Near Morrowind? Would fit seeing as Cerpin might still want to kill Brainna or settle a score. Near the main group? The one facing Mannimarco? It would explain all the undead in the cave.
COme on, answer!
soldin will have a just death, and his body will not be violated, there will be no pain.
It is hard for someone to sacrifice themselves...
so, uh, how to end this fight?
maybe mannimarco can make the group think that they won, so they leave with Kirana?
it'd be a hell of a twist if rann turned around and killed kirana, thusly killing mannmarco.
i suppose we're not ready to end there lives just yet though
Fine with me if the King of Worms dies, he is trying to find out a way to counter their connection. I think the fight should end with a bridge. Maybe Rann and his party go accross the river that the others un-dammed and Mannimarco gets caught on the other side.
Mannimarco and Kirana share emotions through the link, so if Mannimarco undoes it somehow or Kirana manages to undo it, they will both know that they are not connected anymore.
If Rann knew about Kirana's choosing of Soldin he probably would have.
Still, Kirana knows decades more about magic than Rann does. So even if he did try, he might not have succeeded...... Actually, Kirana might let him kill her, she feels her own guilt and everyone else's grief.
PS: There's some twisted logic in there. Sacrifice someone you like to rescue someone else you like and then kill the person you were saving just because the person you sacrificed died and you want to kill the one who killed the sacrifice.......
Well, if nothing else, all this serves to isolate rann even more from the rest, making him even easier prey for Altair's guidance and ideas.
I think Flogir and Kirana (probably not her for much longer) are the only ones he's on good terms with.
Ewww....I do not want Soldin to die!!!
Damn it! And I also wonder why not Rann can be on good terms with Satyana? What has she done, save loving him huh?
Thank the divines for Issac! Hrmmm
Edit: yeah yeah..so you killed Soldin? And Rannie thinks it´s Satyana´s fault? Now how could this thought enter his sweet head huh? He is really a weird young man, and doesn´t deserve the love of his sister....She will not at all be pleased with this happenings, and this could be an opportunity for her to use some real magic....if it hadn´t been for Kirana, she wouldn´t want to harm her!
Why don´t just kill off Satyana? Rann would probably like to do that....
Great to have you back, Minque. ![]()
If there was any confusion as to "psychological" pain that Kirana can feel here's a little rundown.
The emotions of anger, resentment, grief, and even simple discomfort apply.
Kirana can sense these things as well as physical pain. In a way this basically means she knows what everyone is feeling.
metal, if youd like you can have amrita leave the inn bump into sadril or something... we cant go too far without minque or danny but if youre up for a little convo or what not.
Sure, I'll see what I can whip up.
boy and died he did. no glory or anything, just magickal overload.
So, the "family reunion" has happened. Still, there's the question about WHERE IAN IS GOING TO SHOW UP!!!!
PS: According to Bree, Salina showed Amrita her mother to "show her how much of a wreck her mother was" so Amrita has seen Brianna before.
well minque needs to get a post in anyway. perhaps she can shed some more light.
Ok....I do understand Rann, or rather Satyana does, she will have some lousy conscience by now, blaming herself for Soldin´s death, I reckon. *sigh*
Now then, even if Amrita in fact has seen Bree, Bree hasn´t seen Amrita, but she has heard about her from Telina, so she know very well how she is. Now she will of course be totally shocked by the meeting of that wicked daughter of hers....I wonder....will she go insane or what? Anyway her reaction will be somewhat dramatical....
How many times has Brianna simply fainted? On another note, I'll just have Ian show up........ I can't come to conclusion, so can someone actually reply to my question?
to be honest, I didn't really understand the last few posts with Ian. Where was he? What was he doing? I thought the cave was in a dream?
Well the fact that Ian has Cerpin tagging along within him, running into Brianna and Rahvin might prove for some interesting RPing.
Cerpin didn't (and probably won't for some time) reveal who he is, and Ian didn't want to see his memories.
So he's out of luck.
she does seem to faint a lot....
on top of finding Ian.. we need to have some conclusive battles happenin. what happened with the flood?
I'm going to be on a fishing trip for the next few days, but I might still be able to post. Well, when Ian suddenly showed up in a cave of undead somewhere, I had Spiderman 3 on the mind (the scene just after Venom becomes the suit).
So, I have yet to decide where exactly this cave is, and would very much like for someone to tell me where he should be.
If he is still on Cyrodill, put him in Mannimarco's lair. After that spell Mannimarco cast, Ian might have felt drawn to the "deadness" (please excuse my termonology) of that area. If not, and he is in Vvardenfell, put him in some cave south of Ebonheart.
I guess I'll go with the former choice. Mannimarco's lair it is; so where exactly is that again?
Between the Topal bay and the eastern side of the river that leads into it
So is Veric/Altair going to take over and get overthrown all in the same RP.
If so, let's leave some time to realistically address his political manueverings before there's an uprising.
-----
Issac will be unconscious for a little longer, and Ian isn't going anywhere soon unless our friendly body-snatching murderer replies (Cerpin).
i spoke to danny about that before my recent abandonment of the rp, revan.
its not exactly agreed upon yet, but veric will take power. unleash hell. there will be a time jump in the story and a summary post will let people know what exactly went down, and then the downfal begins.
or at least thats how i see it. a lot of details wil be witheld for now for greater enjoyment in the future.
also i'll post now but wont be able to again until late late sunday or mondayish. maybe before. who knows?
double post, my bad but its to bump the topic.
dantrag and/or minque, i plan to have sadril and amrita perhaps teleport to or close to veric... would you like sadril to awkwardly offer a free ride back to cyrodiil so you dont have to roleplay going all the way back?
Another fastforward? Hmm, I think I'll retire Flint when that happens. Unlike some, time has its full effects on him. He can't grow sixty and continue to hop around as if he's thirty.
So how many (months) should pass during this fast-forward period?
And is this next battle to be the final encounter with the big bad Sil?
I don't know if I want Karn to die or not anymore...... Perhaps his inclination to not take sides will lead to his undoing... Maybe a certain emporer-to-be will no longer abide the Narza'Tai's Sensei.
my personal estimate would be roughly a year. enough time for things to fall apart under the reign of Veric.
Then he's faster than Tharn.
A year might just work if Veric really works hard. And it would mean that Flint will still be in bussiness. Yay!
well it wouldnt be the amount of time it takes for a corrupt politician to trick the government into letting him become emperor and then messing up a province.
it would be the amount of time it takes for a super powered evil genius to trick the government into letting him become emperor and then messing up a province.
So, I take it that only a few members of the group will still be together by that time.
A year (almost) is a long time, maybe by the end everyone (who's alive) will be reunited.
It's going to be interesting.
Err, Tharn was a superpowered evil genius. But nevermind, no one was saying that he was out for the utter destruction of the empire or at least not as fast as possible. If that was his goal, he would've simply wiped out the elder council, turned Uriel to ash, then summoned his demons to terrorize the whole world, starting with the Imperial city.
Btw, who is actually gonig to swear loyalty to Veric? Issac might, with the intention of helping the new Empire/Republic, whatever.
Flint will. Green-Root won't.
well my idea kinda got warped as it was passed to the planning thread i believe. what i was going for was that this secret power veric researches and gains by becoming emperor allows him to directly, physically control anyone who has sworn an oath to any emperor/the empire as well those who would swear to him. (though i imagine no one would once they find out altair is veric)
and then as danny recommended: hopefully through the help of mannimarco, veric can pull off this little trick which allows him to control people who have sworn an oath to the empire and have died... which is probably a lot of people. think every single imperial guard that has lived at the control of veric. an army of undead and mindless living all clad in imperial guardsman clothing.
i need a reply from mannimarco before I can do much more.
I thought I already said yes to that...
but now Veric's there...
huh. my bad. we'll work something out.
I thought we were trying to end the face-off with Mannimarco, not perpetuate it...
I'm also somewhat confused, even if bonded, how can either of them die in the first place if their both immortal? It seems sort of contradictory..... Oh wait, I just remember that post about physical attacks and stuff doing the job nicely.
where are brainna and rahvin? in the inn?
Does he know how I totally screwed up my climatic (don't forget apocolyptic) end-game on Command and Conquer just now? I was such an idiot...... *sulks due to my own failure*
so eh... the inn it is?
yep.
I'm going to start my first post. But first, I need to know who's closest to the Imperial City, and if they're on the good side or not.
There's the Morrowind army, lead by a good guy drowing his sorrows and depresion in alcahol. Then there's the Narza'Tai, lead by Karn, an assassin who won't mind killing someone if there are no bad points in doing so.
The 'Tai aren't going to be as hospitable as the army, but they won't kill you for no reason and they actually seem to know what their doing at the moment.
replied to rahvin, danny.
replied to sadril, shogun.
Anyway, I'd be lying if I said that I understood Mannimarco's last post. Something about aedra spells and barriers.
I think it disembodies both Ian and Cerpin and destroys Ian's body..... not good at all.
Edit: Let's just assume that's what it does for the time being.
Double Edit: Dantrag if you had just refreshed after waiting two minutes you would have seen this.......
well..I'm guessing neither of us want our characters dead...so...
(I'll be around all night. working on a huge end-of-year project while checking back here every now and again)
Hey, they could become ghosts or something.....
No no no sillies!
Mannimarco's spell destabalizes the barrier of having one soul per body, adds confusion to the souls that gain somewhat control over certain parts.
My fault for not clearing that up.
Oh, and yes, your posts (Mannimarco's, anyway) can be rather confusing. They're almost always a block as opposed to proper paragraphs.
For now, I have to go to bed. I'll get back to this later.
im sorry, im gonna go kill myself now,....
nah, just kidding, but are you telling me that you guys dont like reading in
block cause i can just write every other line.
they can be hard to hard read. just try to space it out a little.
I didn't find it hard to read his posts. I just use the mouse to make sure I don't reread the same line.
The problem isn't keeping track of where you are while reading, it's just understanding the Priest's colorful descriptions. The block paragraph is just something of a nuisance..... we can read his posts without using our mouses.
so, revan....
how do we respond to this?
Perhaps Ian's body is temporarily useless until Ian and Cerpin resolve the sudden change and get back into the fray..... after most of the fighting is over but not completely. Who will post first?
go ahead; i've still got to figure out how rann responds.
i got hit with a double whammy.
To avoid double-posting, I edited my previous one, Dantrag. Apologies if it lacks fluency, I've never had to write about something like this.
I'm going to bed now. Gotta go to work pretty early.
Double curse flood control..... Yeah, I don't have work, but I'm going to bed too.
Sorry for the double post. So will Ian's hasty sneak attack keep Mannimarco from interrupting Issac's task? Will Mannimarco be out of the picture for the rest of the playground if not permanantly? What will happen if Kirana does die? What will everyone think? Man, I sound like one of those narraters for a bloody TV series.....
Issac will probably never forgive himself (he thinks so anyway), Ian will become a lot more distanced from the group after having on of his best friends die in this conflict, and Karn probably couldn't care less besides the fact that Mannimarco's gone...... Maybe Veric can contact the King of Worms from the great beyond...
[Sorry for the triple post] It seems that POS has been gone for the last two days or so. What shall happen with those involved with Mannimarco?
So as I said, I´ll be away til thursday...drag them along please, will you? Satyana and Brianna.....
Bye!
Extremely sorry ladies and gentlemen, but a nasty virus called "Win23" had me bogged down for the weekend. My girlfriend's coworkers had to reboot and debug my CPU, talk about embarassing. Anyways, let me catch up with the posting. And Mannimarco can be contacted from the dead.
Good to see you back, POS. ![]()
Edit: time for the next one.
