The Sixth.
I just realized, neither Rahvin nor Brianna have met Karn (or even know how he's attempted to kill both their children).
Only Sadril knows about Karn though (that experience being limited to when Karn killed Ocato back the third playground)
jeeze do you have all this documented, or do you just have some crazy memory?
nice roman numerals, btw. we should do that from now on.
Well, I do have a good memory when it comes to certain this, anyway. The last time I tried the roman numerals, I accidently put the wrong ones, so I'm glad I did the right ones this time.
I'll wait for a little (mannimarco leaving and such) until Issac's reaction
Why is no one posting in this thread (leaving me to...... triple post)? I imagine that Ian will resolve to explain a lot to the youngsters; namely the fact that Kirana's soul is now inside his body rather than Aetherius.
Maybe no one is posting because no one has any planning to do....
Unti now. Shogun, do these torches that have now appeared in Veric's little battlezone cast shadows? Because if so, Amrita is going to take advantage of that yet again. And where exactly is this column of water? The location of it sounds too vague for me to know where it is.
Threw Ian for a loop, didn't it....
Should Mannimarco become a shade sort of like Ner'zhul from Warcraft 3, following Altair/Voltair around until Mannimarco can be resurrected? Kirana's soul is still technically on Mundus
you'd have to clear it with shogun, but I think it would be a good idea for Veric to communicate with Mannimarco's soul from beyond the mortal realm. That way, Veric could bargain with him for information; maybe offer to give him a body.
sorry, gunsnarmor, we've been kind of ignoring the happenings around Jo'Puma, but to apologize, I replied to him.
I apologize for going ahead with the shade of Mannimarco, and it kind of surprised me that Issac would kill his mother.... maybe I missed a post......ha.....
A few things I want to know:
Rann and his band are going to the Imperial City, Yes?
The other group that did the dam thing, are they going as well?
Ian, has he decided on what to do with the souls he now has in his body?
And will Karn move the Narza'Tai to the Imperial City as well?
rann and co. will probably try to rejoin the rest of the group (aerona, flint, flogir, etc.)
rahvin, sadril, bree, and jopuma are on their way to the IC, not realizing the amount of military force around them.
not sure about ian or karn. though Ian should probably listen to cerpin a lot more, since he's much more experience in this soul business.
The Narza'Tai are already situated near the Imperial City (I'll PM the specific post later), and Karn is entering the tent that the Morrowind Commander is in.
I don't know if Ian will actually tell the youngsters of the recent development, or even remain in their presense for much longer.
thats good, Patholos has been unconcious for a long time
I'll edit my last post with Tenek (seeing as the Thief has yet to return). From my talks with "T3," Tenek will probably make best friends with Green-Root (being that neither have a real side and both are, more or less, thieves).
Edit: I'll edit the post later tonight (can't find what I think his last post was).
hmm.. what to do with veric..
you know if that dispell hit him it could potentially hamster up both amrita and veric.. seeing as where they are at is essentially created through veric's spellweaving.
dunno bout you guys, but im ready for a "Battle for the Imperial City" to take place. we need to wrap the silhouette campaign up some time.
Here's my plan:
Commander Astratus dies
Patholos might die
Mannimarco is finally sent to Oblivion
Army of Morrowind wins loses depending on this forum...
For the last time, Karn left one of the anonymous lieutenants in charge of the camp while he went to see the commander of the Morrowind Army. He is standing in the doorway of said commander's tent.
Here's my idea.
Silhouette attacks the Imperial City after the City's watch and the army of morrowind have fortified it up. The battle is close, but the Silhouette slowly starts to gain ground. (maybe a destroyed wall or two) Then, just when it seems like the good guys have lost, the Narza'Tai shows up to attack them from behind.
Maybe we could have a smaller battle with a few characters and the Silhouette himself. (nobody pick Rann, because I don't want to have to RP with myself enough for a battle like that.) When the Silhouette dies, Altair somehow emerges as a hero (maybe he could be one of the ones to dispatch the Silhouette?) and gains control of the reconstruction effort in Cyrodiil, and then from there his position keeps getting higher and higher...
any other ideas?
Only one complaint: the Imperial Watch left with the refugees when all of the city evacuated. So it's really just the Morrowind army and those fourty something soldiers from Chorrol.
you're right.
how many members does the narza'tai have?
Let's asume a couple hundred, many remnants of the D. Brotherhood still haven't heard the knew of the take over as of yet.
the plan sounds good to me. so the first step would be to get everybody centralized in the imperial city.
Given that I have lotsa time frreing up soon, since my tests will be over soon(ish).... I was wondering if someone could could come up with some sort of summary on this RP for me to read so I could maybe randomly have a character join. Of course if it's too late for that/ too much hastle, that's cool.
OMG! Wolfie! I'll come up with a summary in a few; glad to have you back.
wow. you made dantrag say omg.
thats not something i've seen him say often.. if ever.
you're more than welcome to join, though you may find things move slower now than they did back in the glory days of AMU.
Hehehe.... I made Dantrag use omg... I don't think I've ever made anyone say that before ![]()
And it's good that it won't be too fast moving.... It'll be another while before I can join in, and since I'm being made get a job this summer I won't have anywhere near as much time on my hands as I did back in the good old AMU days ![]()
Also I should add I have no knowledge of the general topography of Cyrodil+surrounding areas, if that's where this one is set, seeing as I haven't played Oblivion lol.
Wolfie-Polfie....jeez great to see you here! Please do join in! Oh and I'm back in Sweden again, thus not at home! I am stuck in Stockholm, my plane from St Petersburg broke down so we had to wait for spareparts!
Well shit happens, I'm in my own country anyway and I'm currently staying at a hotel at the Arlanda Airport, flying home tomorrow morning
Minkey using bad language? And also, the autocensor not..... autocensoring????????
What's going on??????
i didnt know you could say compassion...
anyway as for cyrodiil (you mean you havent played oblivion yet?): http://pnmedia.gamespy.com/screenshots/pes/26326036.jpg
theres a map of it. just know that wherever there isnt city there's forest... and mountains edge most of the northern border...
I've got a lot of experience at that.
Am I right in thinking that you were in/ read the last THIH? If not I'll tell you about that too.
A mage named Veric has been imprisoned in a place of his own creation (he's uber, yeah), until a scholar of sorts managed to release him. Veric wishes to take the empty throne of the Empire and gain complete control of.... (layman's terms: power).
Meanwhile, the three children of Brianna (Serene's daughter) are prophesized to destroy Veric. Two of the children were born and raised in relatively good conditions, while the third, a girl named Amrita, was kidnapped at birth by an evil mage called Selina (Telina's sister).
To complicate things, an army from Akavir has begun invading Tamriel (marching through Argonia, some of Morrowind, and Eastern Cyrodiil). The army continues to march West to the Imperial City (where we are about to have a climactic final battle between the army of Morrowind, the heroes (and Tamrielic villains), Narza'Tai (a new assassin guild that has risen from the Dark Brotherhood) against the Akaviri army.
The Akaviri snakemen are lead by an immortal spirit known only as the Silhouete ( a competitor for the throne).
Veric (as a shapeshifter) is playing the role of a politician who aims for a democratic government. Under this guise, he attempts to minipulate Rann (one of the three who is meant to destroy him).
The Characters are as follows: (the info is meant to be brief)
Rann: an occassionally rash, but generally sensible young man with uncertain (in specific regards) origin
Satyana: the child that most closely resembles her mother; is still learning to deal with the stress that she and her siblings are forced to face because of their destiny (is often protective of her "younger" brother)
Amrita: brought up by an evil mage, she is a cold-hearted murderer. Her Altmeri heritage makes her an adept spellcaster.
-other characters-
Veric: a powerful Breton mage with a desire for power, specializes in alterating and illusion (hence his ability to shape-shift). Has many minions who (man for man) are more skilled than the heroes. His main disguise is an Altmer politician by the name of Altair.
Karn: a young Dunmer assassin, leader of the Narza'Tai and co-insurgent to the collapse of the dark Brotherhood. He is still balancing his old relentless pursuit of grudges with the responsibilities of leadership.
Voltar: the Altmer scholar who released Veric, an expert in conjuration and destruction, plays the role as Veric's/Altair's advisor.
The Silhouete: a demonic apparition of mysterious motives. Its stratagy has been destructive to say the least, leaving few survivors and killing any who dare question him. Has great influence over magic.
Brianna: the mother of the triplets who are marked by destiny. She has never met any of her children (except for Amrita, briefly). Bree is horrified by what her third child is, and would perfer to have little to nothing to do with Amrita.
She inherits Serne's reluctance to kill or bring unnecessary harm to most people and is generally a healer.
Rahvin: one of the three fathers to the three "hiers." His son is Rann, who he raised himself in Chorrol. Rahvin is a Dunmer assassin who doesn't particularly enjoy killing others.
Ian: An Imperial agent, who has only recently become a vampire of Cyrodiilic descent. He is experienced, but has recently been questionable in his judgment. Ian can be rather isolated from the other heroes at times, his condition is problematic at times. (He is also a "trash can" for disembodied souls)
Issac: Ian and Kirana's adoptive son, a cool-headed and well-tempered but still young, man. A well-rounded spellcaster and skilled swordsman.
Kirana: A knowledgable Altmer scholar/agent, who enjoys teaching others in magic and lore as much as she likes to learn it. She has recently been slain, but has ended up in the "trash can" that her old friend and comrade serves as.
Cerpin: an ancient being, is called the shifter because of the abilities his twin gloves give him. He's survived over the centuries by switching bodies with other (and younger) individuals. However, when he failed to switch with Serene, Rahvin's soul found its back into its body (which Cerpin had been occupying), and this left Cerpin with not body of his own.
Recently, he's taken residence in the "trash can" of Ian's undead body.
Flogir: a Nord veteran guard from the Kvatch, fought during the Oblivion Crisis against the Deadra. One of the few in the group without someone else in the group hating them. Friends with everyone of the other heroes.
Flint Ironwood: a high-flying Breton, one of the oldest members of the group (well, the only one who is dangerous because his/her age). He plays the role of a messenger because os his mega jumping spell (think Tarhiel from Morrowind).
Patholos: a pale Dunmeri and former worhispper of Sithis. Co-conspirator of Karn who aided in toppling the Dark Brotherhood. Sithis removed his eyes and now Patholos sees through magic sight. He is occassionally plagued by madness, but is Karn's second.
There are probably other active people who I left out, but here's a good summary to get the jist of the playground.
Okay, Wolfie, here's the summarizationness. (yes, I made a word just now)
Going back to THIH Number 1.
Brianna (played by minque) was pregnant with triplets. Veric (main baddy played by shogun) knew that those triplets could be his downfall through his knowledge of prophecy, so he decided to kill Brianna before said babies were born. (Might I add that each child has a different father. Yes, Brianna was a busy woman)
Veric failed, and the babies were born. The babies = Rann (played by me), Amrita (played by MetalMallet), and Satyana (played by minque). The babies were all split up at birth to make it harder for Veric to find them. Amrita was stolen by an evil mage and raised, Rann was taken by his father, Rahvin (played by me) and Satyana was raised by her grandmother Serene (you know who)
Twenty years later....In THIH Number 2 territory...
Veric is back, but with new knowledge of the prophecy. The prophecy has no set ending; the three kids could be either his downfall or his uprising.
The main group of characters pretty much meet in Chorrol for a big party. The party is crashed by Karn (evil guy that clones himself. Played by Lord Revan) and the main group of characters shows their worth by fighting him off. The countess of chorrol is impressed, so she sends them off to investigate and destroy some evil entity that is gathering an army in the mountains to the east.
So the group checks it out with some bumps along the way. Turns out the evil entity is an Akaviri monster known as the Silhouette (played by me in Florodine's absence) He's gathered an army of goblins, vampires, and most notably, Akaviri snake-people. They're about to attack the Imperial City right now.
The main group is split a few ways right now, so I'll list them here, along with current events associated with them.
Issac (Lord Revan), Satyana, Ian (Lord Revan), and Rann are heading towards the Imperial City after burying a few friends.
Rahvin, Brianna, Jo'Puma (played by Gunsnarmor) and Sadril (double-agent vampire played by shogun) are also on their way to the Imperial City after finally locating Amrita.
Aerona, (vampire girl played by me) Flogir, (played by MetalMallet) Flint, Green-Root, (both played by jack cloudy) Voltar, (Veric's partner in disguise played by MetalMallet) are all about to travel to the Imperial City after destroying a good chunk of the Silhouette's army by flooding them with a broken dam.
Amrita and Veric are fighting in Veric's own realm.
Karn (leader of a guild called the Narza'Tai--used to be the dark brotherhood, but they reorganized it--) is in the tent belonging to Commander Arastrus, leader of the Army of Morrowind, come to assist the Imperial City against the Silhouette.
I can't help but think I'm missing something, so if you have any questions, let me know.
Sadril: An ancient vampiric assassin being skilled in human manipulation. He plays the role as a middle man who seemingly works for veric, but has helped the good and the bad side, and betrayed both. Always seems to know something others don't and sees himself acting for a higher cause. ![]()
might i add, that you've received the most in depth summary to date, wolfie. someone needs to document this for the future.
Oops...I really didn't know that word is to be censored! I then apologize to anyone that might feel offended!
Good summaries you two! I think our Wolfie will be able to fit in well! Well I'll go for dinner now (paid by the airline) then I'll come back an post ok?
Now to come up with a character... which probably won't be done until next wednesday, since I have a week long break in exams then before my last one ![]()
Don't think I'm gonna go with Jonacin..... He'd either be really old, or, knowing how the heroes of my stories and whatnot tend to end up, after dying in some suitably over the top and heroic fashion
Crap, I didn't even notice some of those earlier posts, and just when I switched profiles....
Tenek: a vampire Bosmer theif and ninja. One of the more comic-relief characters (my friend is a bigger fan of POTC than I am.) Is an environmentalist (made the group avoid burning down the Great Forest to kill the Akaviri army) and simple thief (he's tried to rob the group on two occassions, first he tried to take a bag of potions then he stole Green-root's.... there's another one I forgot)
Green-Root- an Argonian robber who plays whatever side suits his best interest (Tamriel or Akaviri, not heroes or Veric..... yet) Uses a silver spear which can turn to Deadric. (had his lunch stolen by Tenek, lol)
[Serene was featured for awhile, but she's left... for good? Anyway she has another two good friends in this playground]
Hello Wolfie,
My name is Priest of Sithis, and I recently joined the rp.
Mannimarco has just been killed, again, indirectly by Issac. There are still more than a few zombies around and Mannimarco's essence is currently following Rann.
As for Patholos, LR is right on all positions except the worship of Sithis. Patholos hates Sithis, and it is by his own choice that he serves, not worships, until lately...
Also he is a twinge insane.
Commander Astratus is an alcoholic, and he is middle aged. Traumatized by the Dagoth Ur Incident, commander astratus has little faith in himself anymore.
(tried to save you the trouble of sifting through the character page)
(not trying to say that Dantrag and LR didn't do a nice job with the description, just wanted to say hello myself and to go into a little more detail on all the quirks of my char's)
im unable to post tonight. sorry, but i should be able to in about 19 hours
Hopefully you don't mind me wrapping our Amrita's and Veric's duel. Altair needs to get back to the IC soon.
I think it makes sense given that Veric basically said that if he dies, Amrita is screwed.
This basically means that Veric can do anything he pleases with Amrita in his own little, personal world. Much better than Mankar Camoran.
If you're still around, revan, we could move Issac, rann, satyana a little further along.
Last post editted, Dantrag.
EDIT: But the army is there already, Karn and Ptholos are talikng with the commander (in Green Emporer Way, the place around White Gold Tower AKA the Imperial Palace.) The Narza'Tai are hidden around the southern shore (apparently the threesome didn't notice the hidden camp).
revan, i think you just beat the record for largest number of different characters posted for in one post; 5
and im thinking i may just make a post that effectively moves sadril, bri, rahvin, and jo'puma to the gates as well, just behind rann and co.
getting tired of them not getting any action...
Ian will meet Bree with some measure of animosity; he might also continue ignore Kirana in his quest to get rid of Cerpin. I hope POS shows up and posts, otherwise someone might have to take control of Commander Astratus.
POS seems to be the type that's either around later at night or very early in the morning (at least for my time). So it could possibly be some time before he stops by here since it's only early afternoon here.
We'll see, it is the weekend afterall.
Ok, since I know Tenek will be away from the computer for awhile. I'll post him after some more dialog, he's had some...... adventure while away.
Sorry, if that last post was inconvenient, if it was too much so, just tell me.
But I have decided that either Ian or Karn will (unless there is superpowered intervention) die in their battle after the war is over. It's no longer personal, they want to end their decade-long struggle. If it's alright, whoever wins will be burdened with the leadership of the Narza'Tai (unless Patholos desires such a position if Karn dies).
I suppose this could take place after Ian gives Cerpin a new body, and if Ian dies then both he and Kirana will be gone (I think).
So is the battle going to be sometime the next day, or will this be like an actual siege (a few days or weeks of little true combat then the climactic end?) If so, then how long are Rann and Bree going to talk before Satyana finally talks to her mother?
Not so long! Rann is not a rambling man! Theyīll have a couple of drinks and just get to know each other! Then Satyana appears and ,....well so on. Be reassured youīll soon have your fight! Maybe Satyana will take part in it as well!
im glad to say that whether it really is or not, the RP seems to be moving faster. and we still have so much plot to cover! *yay*
Well at nights it seems to really pick up. I was so bored at work because no one was doing anything. I then chill out with friends last night and today I see a whole wackload of posts.
A guy needs his nightlife every now and then! ![]()
Anyways, I think I caught up well enough. Though I'm curious of how Veric will find Amrita again since she was not given an amulet. I guess that since she'll be lurking around the Imperial City, she won't be too difficult to find.
I'm also curious. I want Amrita to have some interaction with her siblings but I'm not entirely sure how I want to get that instigated.
Hopefully, Bree will approve of Issac. Seeing as her daughter is the person Issac wants to eventually marry.
However long the battle lasts, the Army of Morrowind will probably suffer 80-90% casualties.
Will the Silhouette fight in the battle? Maybe Astratus could fight him or something.
Patholos would be fine with leadership, but he is still a little insane.
Erm, Karn left the tent shortly after the Commander did and had a talk with Ian. Then he came back to fetch Patholos and return to the Narza'Tai.
i believe the silhouette will not only fight in the battle for the imperial city, he will die in it.
as for me, i am sorry. it will be harder for me to get on from 5 minutes from now until july 20th. im going south to florida and internet access, though available, is slightly harder to come by. i will try to participate in the upcoming battle, but sadril will probably be put on the back burner for a while, and i may try to avoid drawn out conversations with anybody...
i will stay in touch.
we really need altair to make some sort of breakthrough in the battle. maybe let him kill the silhouette?
Letting Altair defeat the Silhouette is fine (with proper setup. We don't want him to singlehandedly wipe out the Sil. That would put too much attention on Veric hiding behind our politician.)
He should also make a speech, make sure everyone knows him and what he stands for. Getting a reputation will make it easier for everyone to accept him as their saviour and help him get on the throne.
i was thinking perhaps allow him to demonstrate leadership by gathering and leading a platoon against the sil, thusly killing him.
I have to leave next weekend and I won't be able to post or return until the 6th of July. So I would very much like to get as much progress done before I am forced to part ways and miss out on a lot of important events.
Well if you and shogun are gone, I don't think much will be taking place while you're gone. Call it a hunch.
well, I can't really do much until minque comes on...
then I guess I'll have the silhouette launch an attack pretty soon.
Well, Minque's been here, she just doesn't post for some reason.....
Iīm here....right now..and I will most certainly post! So donīt worry, Iīll just catch up the latest events!
Yes, Issac is a High Elf.
i have no idea where issac and satyana are. are they still at the gate?
Issac's last post was him suggesting they find a place to sleep. So either their near (just outside) the Tiber Septim or their still at the gates....
yeah, instead of me having Rann go track them down, I suggest they come to the tiber septim.
Anyway, I'm gone to hang out with some friends. Be back later tonight.
Okay, I guess they'll enter then.
Do we necessarily want a meeting between Amrita and her siblings yet? There is a lot of stuff going on soon. Then again, with Revan and Shogun taking off for a little while we might need some banter to bide the time...
It seems a little odd that Astratus has made this speech before the Sil has even set up camp on the shore.... and while the heroes are all in the same tavern with off-duty soldiers...... Odd in an amusing way.
Astratus made his speech as a rally, a sort of pep session, not an assembly. Although they are very similar in fashion. Astratus made his speech for morale, and for motivation.
bah! im not gone for good...
its just difficult to get on.
for future reference, 12 = XII not VVII
Crap, it's been awhile since I actually saw all the roman numerals...... Can't mods edit titles anyway?
rofl.
im still loving the roman numerals much more though.
Yea, definitely. Gives it that more medieval feeling. Very fantasical (even if that's not a word, I don't care!).
Just make sure the numbering is correct amungo!
Should Mannimarco return, and maybe give Kirana a new body. There was some sort of connection between Mannimarco and Kirana (pun intended). Kirana would definately have wanted to meet Briana anyway... or should Mannimarco remain a fade?
Sure, that could work, but I'll be gone for a few eeks after tomorow. So this will have to take place whenever Veric reincarnates (or otherwise recalls) Mannimarco. Kirana will, of course, leave out the detail that she ordered Issac to kill her so Mannimarco could be out of the picture (which he isn't).
I HATE double-posting, when I went to review the past playgrounds, it was clear that green-Root has all but one of Kirana's arcane tomes (the one being the book she gave to Altair). So, if Veric and Voltar want that lore, they'll have to get it from Green-Root.... who happens not to trust either of them (the lore went from one suspicous person to another it seems).
Thanks for the reminder. We'll likely do something involving that. We'll see.
hmm... it seems advantageous to veric and voltar to just take out the argonian....
of course if thats out of the question perhaps they can find some way to exile him... set him up for a crime or something...
Well I'm certain they could exploit the fact that a lot of the other party members all ready distrust Green-Root. It probably wouldn't take much convincing to get some of the more adamently biased characters to exile him... I'm thinking of Flint mostly, though Flogir could be swayed as well.
Yeah, Flint's all for getting rid of the Argonian.
Hmm, maybe Green-Root should start reading some of those thomes, pick up a spell or two. I'm thinking of 'simple stuff', like Fervus' remote mark and recall combo.
Dantrag, how far from Green-Root and Tenek are you? They're both lounging in a shack at the Waterfront themselves.
Why is it so slow?
jack : I dunno; I haven't decided if Sel will make a cameo appearance. you can have them see Rann if you want, though.
It's probably slow because Revan, Shogun, and I guess Minque appear to be away for the moment. Since they all have characters we're currently trying to interact with, it makes RPing a bit difficult ![]()
If I remember correctly, Revan was supposed to be back by the 9th or something like that. I don't think Shogun wasn't going to be away too long either. I could be wrong though...
This is from an internet cafe, so don't expect more than one post in the RP before I get back. From what I've read about the vampire clan of Cyrodiil, they won't readily join a conquering army. They'll hold to their political (and otherwise) power, not revealing their identities, but supporting the modern Empire which they are integrated into.
But that's just the smart ones, not particularly evil, just cunning, and looking out for themselves. So either the Cyrodiilic clan will not take part, or just use their influence to aid their "prey" in the conflict.
PS: I'll be back on the 6th of July...... dang, I miss Independance Day!
Since most of us are gone, I assume that the fight will be delayed.
This however, is a prime moment to do some planning. Ok, let's hear those suggestions on what each character is going to do. Keep in mind that beating the Sil is Altair's (Veric's) task, with some suitable help if needed.
Flint: Flogir's suggestion sounds fine. Flint is going to mess up the siege engines and thereby help keep the walls a bit longer.
Green-Root: Root is not going to join the main battle, nor is he invited. (most would rather see him thrown in prison for the duration of battle.) I'm seeing him swimming around the lake and stabbing any boat/snake that tries to cross. In other words, he's going to prevent a sneaky entrance through the sewer. Which reminds me. *hurries off to the playground*
Well I plan to have Flogir up on the wall or frontlines while the battle first takes place. If a special mission to try and assassinate the Silhouette is made though, the group will have to come to him in order for him to go along.
Voltar will follow Altair since he is his Councillor and will likely help to weaken the Silhouette or focus more on taking out any enemies that happen to be around the Sil at the time.
As for Amrita, I don't know. I'm trying wrestling with the idea to have her talk to her siblings but given the current situation, I can't think of a way to make it fit other than "PooF! Hi! I'm your not-so-nice sister who decided to follow 'Altair's' governance" she says with a sly, knowingly grin.
Though I guess her telling Rann that might sway him to fully join Altair's cause...
I think a meeting between her and Rann would go fine. Rann wouldn't judge her based on other people's opinions. But, I don't think anyone's said anything bad about Amrita to him, so he doesn't have much to go on anyway.
Hmmm, perhaps I shall instigate a conversation between the two once she finds him alone (which he seems to be right now...). Methinks that Amrita's sister will have her "uneasy" beacon go off if she's around the pair.
Edited my last Playground post. Added an Amrita part for Dantrag.
Uh...ok so Rann just met Amrita....good! Issac, Satyana and Bree are still sitting at that table, right? Maybe thay should move on? And Rahvin, what about him? I mean Satyana will stick with Issac for the moment whatever they will do...that leaves Brianna sort of hanging in the air, so should she be with Rahvin or what? Or should she meet Amrita?
Well, Issac kinda started to excuse himself and Satyana, which would then leave Brianna alone. Rahvin's sitting at a table nearby with Aerona; feel free to let Bree join them.
This is not to sound like a prick, Revan, but I just thought I should mention that when Amrita "merges with the shadows" it basically an invisibility spell but with the traits of chameleon, meaning she can still do stuff other than sneak without losing her invisibility.
Ian could still pick up on her scent and know someone is there though with that vampiric detect life spell that vampires have. It does make sense that Issac didn't see her though.
I think Tellie explained the spell a bit better on the character thread. Amrita is the first entry on the second page.
Oh dear! Satyana just got kinda caught by Sel....she doesnīt love Issac less..no no, itīs just a "thing" you know, that young girls sometimes experience with elder men! Itīs quite normal! But it might be an interesting twitch this......hehe
Now it depends on how Sel reacts to Satyana..he might turn her down at once..or he might appreciate her...thatīs up to Danny I guess!
Now how do we proceed with Rahvin and Brianna???
I didn't know she was still "one with shadows," it seemed to me that she was just hugging the wall, simply mistake. It doesn't really matter, she's not detected.... except by Ian.
PS: I know Satyana doesn't love Issac less, but it's still difficult for him to take his lover doing that while he's nearby. It hurts..... not that this has ever happened to me.
Hehe, no problem Revan. Just making sure things were clear. No big deal in the end I guess. I'll likely keep Amrita to her eavesdropping though. She's too trusting in her "shadow merging" abilities to actually suspect that someone has detected her.
It seems that the closest thing Rann will ever get to a brother is Issac as his brother-in-law.
Well, we're waiting for more people to be present before we start the battle, so something like that would be good to take some time. post away.
Problem is...Iīm going to Italy tomorrow! Maybe I can get online or maybe not! Depends on the hotel I guess...
Anyway..Iīll do my very best!
Well, I just got back, so maybe things can speed up a bit..... if Minque has the same luck I had and finds an internet cafe` or has internet access in her hotel..... ![]()
PS: On their marriage, let's just list that as something that takes place in between Veric's ascension and the beginnings of his fall from grace (if he is going to lose).... Anyway, I've never actually been to a wedding, so I have no experience with writing one. ![]()
Edit: didn't see your post Dantrag..... it seems a bit wierd to have a wedding when an army is about to invade a city, but whatever is best, I guess.
wll, for one, since many players are absent at the moment, I'm planning on making the situation more of a siege than anything else; the battle will come later.
One thing we can do in the meantime is the awkward (but enjoyable) introduction of Karn to Rann, Brianna, and (I do not think she was present before Karn's last appearance) Aerona. Some of his former swagger is gone, that sort of happens when you are responsibly for the well-fare of an entire guild (it cools the head a bit).
While he's not so arrogant, Karn doesn't really regret anything he's done. Kidnapping Satyana, murdering hundreds of people, helping the Silhouete conquer Tamriel before turning, and all that. I imagine all that would horrify more than a few pacifists and idealists. ![]()
And yes, Satyana was cured of the poison by Serene.
well, since green-root will now logically spill the beans on Veric/Voltar, I recommend that Altair (since he was a breton when green-root saw him) make Voltar look like some kind of traitor, absolving himself.
That way the gameplan continues.
Oops, I knew I should have read the Planning before posting. Heh, Green-Root now knows the truth. If Ian wants him to testify though, he'll have to drag our scaled friend along. Being a Vampire and with Green-Root not being in perfect condition (and on dry land), that shouldn't be hard for Ian to do.
well, he doesn't know the truth...
he came up with the most far-fetched answer possible, if you think about it.
Well, Ian is "far-fetched" enough to accept the possibility as truth. This is about magic and nearly anything is possible when it comes to that force..... curse it!
Ian won't confront Altair, but he will be one of those who will be watching our favorite villain (provided that Flogir buys Karn's story).
Crap, it was farfetched. It would have been more logical for Root to assume that the Breton was the mster behind Altair and Voltar, not Altair=Veric.
Damn, I'll just blame it on the booze, or the lack thereof.
But I believe Karn has seen Veric change forms before. So, if beyond all common sense the group believe him he give Veric away. (I personally doubt it.) Let's just stick with making everyone suspicous of our "politician."
Well, I think we should at least keep Altair out of the noose for now. Suspicion is find, but we should keep the heroes from any hard evidence until he comes to power I think.
And I think that all of my characters are in a deadlock with minque's, so I guess I'll wait for her to come back before posting in the playground
PS - and I think it'll be fine with Green-Root having the idea of the shapeshifting, since not so many people trust him. And also, Rann will be a pretty big defender of Altair, so he'll put some good arguments across.
It'll give Green-Root some gloating rights later on.
Haha, of course Green-Root has to stay alive first in order to gloat.
The only two people who trust Green-Root, well believe the same thing are both Ian and Karn. The two other people who were in the cave with Veric in Breton form and Voltar. Of the three, only Karn has seen Veric in both forms. And both Ian and Green-Root believe the same thing Karn has seen.
The only person out of the three anyone would trust would be Ian, and a point about Altair questioning his sanity has come up
Then Kirana and Cerpin (whether it matters is entirely up to Dantrag) have overheard everythingso far (not that they'll matter until Ian procures the glove from Rann).
PS: This is Revan speaking.
Hey guys, I heard that Sodsa fled after the dam... burst
and that everyone is holed up in the Imperial City waiting for the siege.
I'm going to assume that i'd be cool if Sodsa came out of his "hiding"to sneak through the sewers to get with all you all?
If not i can attempt to get my hand on some Scrolls Of Icarian Flight or somethin
sounds good. Welcome back.
Don't forget to pack two. Crashing is no good, unless you limit the damage by aiming for the lake.
so uh... since im such an airhead... the tomes the green-root has.... they belonged to kirana or something? and it seems they would hold a high interest to veric? has it been detailed what they contain? or is that yet to be decided?
Well, Green-Root had Kirana's tomes. He hid them in a bag and then hid the bag somewhere underwater where only he can find it.
As for what they contain, I don't know. We do know that they are written in Daedric and contain some information on Rann's tattoo so I suppose they are your general 'old and obscure forms of Magicka' encyclopedia. Didn't Veric got one himself?
I think he might hold an interest in getting his hands on the other tomes so he can learn how to easily deal with Rann if the Dunmer turns against him for example.
i have some free time tonight, but tonight only. revan, if you're on; would you mind a karn/sadril meeting?
Yeah, sure if we're still on when you read this.
will do.
Hey everyone! I'm really sorry I left you for so long, some family issues happened and I just forgot all about this and most internet stuff. However, I would really like to come back. I know its annoying when people ask for an update on whats happened, but that would be very useful.
I still remember my character the Silhouette, and Dalrus Varus, though I'll need to think about where they were.
Well, since we had to deal with the SIlhouette (he was an important bad guy) I took over control of him temporarily. Now it looks like you can have him back!
Anyway, I'm just going to give you the most recent events, since I'm not quite sure where you left off.
Right now everyone is in the Imperial City since it's under seige by none other than your Silhouette. He's got a massive army of snake-people now, and he's not afraid to use it.
We're planning on having Veric defeat the Silhouette so that he gains popularity and a hero status to take control of the empire. (if you don't want the Silhouette killed, we can work something out. I know he's your character.)
PS - Welcome Back!
alright cool! Ill just look over the last thread and start. I would like the Silhouette to live but it's fine if he is defeated, though maybe it should be Veric and another mage.
I am very happy to be back. What happened to Dalrus?
Well, the last time you posted with Dalrus was in Playground 7 Page 2. I'm not sure if anyone dragged her along.
Im going to have Dalrus be found in one of the camps of the Silhouette in a cage. She was used as a slave by one of the Vampire generals, though she hasn't been turned into one, just abused. I'm going to have her escape.
As for Eurod, he and the Bruma army will be entering the gate as we speak... you can just say your scouts reported it a while ago.
Issac isn't with Satyana and Rann at the moment, he could be entering the Talos Plaza and meet up with Dalrus; take her the Tiber Septim to get help. At least since Rann is all the way in the Waterfront District.
k. i'm afraid there is no chance of me being on until the evening of the 13th. at which point i will be back to the summer norm which is rarely on..
so metal, seeing as i was an idiot and started a conversation with flogir, you can control veric if it is needed.. or you can get danny to if you want, it doesnt really matter.
I suppose I could have Dalrus meet with Isaac, she would know him from before, though I don't think we ever had them talk. We can just assume that since they spent a ton of time running around Cyrodiil, they probably talked a few times.
Ok, yeah, they at least know who each other are I reckon.
One more question.... (for the moment
) So everyone is on the city walls? if not where then were would they be?
Most are in the Tiber Septim, but Rann, Satyana, Ian, Tenek, Green-Root, and Sel are in the Waterfront District.
okay, I can work with that, thanks.
Well, I suppose no siege then. Soulseeker's started the battle, looks like the people in the Tiber Septim better get moving.
Originally, I was going to have Issac take Dalrus to the tavern so someone (hopefully Brianna) could hlep her in whatever was required. Apparantly that will have to wait seeing as a full-scale battle has occured.
whoa, hold on.... we can have the siege, i must have just misinterpreted.... i thought the waterfront was under attack.... i can edit.
edit: the way i read Jack's post with Green-root, i thought he meant people were attacking. which is why he took his spear to get those guys on the other side of the lake
Edit: Keep in the boats please. Make it a diversion. Goblins are fodder anyway.
Edit 2: Ok, let's slow down. We're both editing like crazy here and running in circles. Umm, I suppose I didn't make it clear. Green-Root was commenting on the ones chasing Dalrus and Eurod's force. I doubt the Sil just sent the whole army after one girl. So, what are we going to do? The original post follows below here by the way.
Yeah. Flint is going to try and talk with Voltar but I don't give it much hope. Probably Voltar will only get off his first sentence before the alarm comes in and Flint runs off to take out the catapults. Green-Root in the meantime has started his own battle.
There are two questions I want to ask here, especially to Florodine because the Sil is in command of the army, even though it is indirect command. ('I don't order lowlifes like you' sounds pretty indirect to me.)
1: Will Flint succeed at taking down the catapults? If so, will he succeed before or after the walls have been breached? Think carefully. No matter how powerful our characters are, we are outnumbered heavily.
2: The Sil had Shadowscales, Argonian assassins. Will they confront and kill Green-Root? Or will Green-Root lead them in a chase around the lake, slowly whittling down their numbers? Or will they refuse to show up at all? Will some boats escape his spear and reach the city?
Okay, I think i get it now. I will edit my post, when i had the guard say they they were under attack was a mistake, I'll have the guard say that there are forces to the east side and the Waterfront.
Is that good?
Yeah, that's good. But people will still be running to their positions.
okay, works for me
Edit: There you guys go, my apologies
Looks fine now. Anyway, it's bedtime for me. Please think over my questions before the edit-chaos, ok?
If Flint needs a hand with those Catapults, He can call on Sodsa (If he finds out he is in the City). After all, Sodsa owes Flint one (You gave Sodsa that Glass armor stuff)
They will destroy the catapults, however, the silhouette has other means hes going to use.
As for the shadow scales, have green root fight a small group of them, when the rest come, he should run off. They will then attack the walls.
Karn and the rest of the Narza Tai are now held up in the sewers (although, Sodsa somehow avoided them. Yes, I do pointing out the plotholes in {inserts username here}). And will slaughter any foes who dare intrude upon it from the shadows (they'll cover the leight filtering throuigh the grating and all that so that means basically everywhere).
We could have the number of Shadowscales lessened (there are more targets than the Imperial City after all, other provinces to try and weaken). And a few of them could have been killed on different assignments since the sinking of the Imperial Navy (not the High Naryyn one
)
Well I'm sure if Veric attempts to defeat the Silhouette, Voltar will be there to assist him with his uber Conjurative Skillz.
Well, even then, it would be logical to invade areas accessible from the outside, otherwise the defense would be pretty meaningless, don't you think?
The Narza Tai might actually offer (indirect) aid to the defenders of the Imperial City. Their mages and alchemist assets are less hard pressed than those of the surface armies I imagine. Maybe make undetected delivery runs in between bombardments and actual battles.
I would think "magically appearing supplies" would help morale if only slightly.
Just so you know, Florodine, we aren't planning on commencing the attack for quite some time; we have a few key members that are absent for a while, so we're planning on hanging out in the beseiged city.
Yes, and sieges can last months at times.
Yeah thats why I wasn't commencing it, I was going to put in my post that its an advance guard.
Also, it will take quite some time to breach the gate, once inside, it will take them a while to push through to each new section, so it will take a few months. I think right as he is about to break into the last three sections, thats when it should end. So he will take the plaza, garden, and maybe up to market, however, the arena and temples will hold. I think the huge battle should take place in Green Emperor Way.
Mallet, when is Amrita going to move? It would be kind of weird for her to sit against a now deserted shack until the catapult (probably trebuchets) bombardment ends.
Issac, Dalrus, Rann, and Satyana are inside the Tiber Septim (the tavern in the Talos Plaza District); Flogir, Flint, and Voltar are at the walls, and Sel is nowhere to be found at the moment.
Ian, Green-Root, Amrita, Tenek (and Tenek's brother's character), and Sodsa are still in the Waterfront. Ian just started talking to Sodsa (if telling him to get inside the city is talking).
And yes, I know that a trebuchet has a longer arm and holds the boulder in a net-sack. Just like a lesser catapult, the centrifical force of the swing ejects the projectile from the rope net. The trebuchet has a longer range than other catapults because of its extended reach.
Trebuchets have to be packed up to move, and unpacked to be of use (while most other catapults have wheels to make them mobile). And the trebuchet is also as tall as a siege tower sometimes.
Oh yea! Amrita! I guess I'll get her back into the city. She'll probably notify Veric about Sel being in town (they've run into each other before, correct?).
*sigh* if only Shogun were here. I don't truly want to control Veric while shogun isn't present, I might drag him to the walls though.
im back no need to worry. of course im only back to being on sometimes. so its not much of an improvement. but here in a week ill be around almost as normal.
sel and veric have never met, but since veric studied arcyakt, he will have undoubtedly read stories and bios of sel. those guys were made famous in morrowind after what happened in AMU.
Well, there seem to be a lot of conspiracies/agendas/prejudices now.
-Altait/Veric, Voltar, Sadril, and Amrita (I suppose add Rann later on.)
-Ian, Green-Root, Tenek (technically, lol), Karn, and Kirana (the people who think/know Altair and Voltar are up to no good, I suppose Satyana and Issac are tentatively in this group)
-Ian and Kirana
-Ian and Cerpin
-Karn, (all of the Narza Tai), and Sadril (the balance people)
-Karn and Patholos
-Tenek and Green-Root
-Flint and Flogir (who feeling like skinning, erm, scaling a certain Argonian)
I've probably missed a couple, but this gives you an idea..... Man, this is getting complicated!
Hehe, that's what makes epic RPs like this so much fun! So many agendas that'll probably take awile to hatch. It's going to be interesting to see how they turn out, especially since some involve the removal of certain characters.
And Revan! How could you forget one of your own: Ian and Karn!
Im trying to think of how I can fit Dalrus in a conspiracy...
lol so much fun, and i neglected Sodsa so now he isn't part of anything. bummer
The Priest is back, and ready to rp!
It looks like there are some new joiners, so welcome, and I will be posting more consistently in the future.
well then, my humblest apologies for not being proactive enough to drudge through all those pages of character sheets,
anyways, hello just the same
hahaha no big, i'm kiddin.
and hello to you too.
POS, Vasha gave away her current location (the main chambers) to Patholos via another psychic burst.
K, I'll put Mannimarco on the waiting list for the Silhouette
Listen, I'll be gone for three weeks so I figure it would be best to list my character's goals for now so that others can control them accordingly.
Flint Ironwood.
Flint, while not thrusting Green-Root, is against any option that involves killing. In his opinion, Green-Root is evil yet still 'human' for lack of a better term. He will however agree to roughing him up a bit and then throwing him into a jail for later.
He will also do whatever is needed to fight against the siege, but he'll try to stay out of close combat on the walls and such. His place is at longer range, either shooting bows or unleashing telekinetic hell.
Green-Root
Green-Root isn't as stupid as he sometimes seems. He'll keep down for a while and do whatever is told. And if he learns about the whole balance thing, he'll actually start feeling for it and wish to officially join.
Mannimarco is waiting for a response from the Silhouette
And Astratus getting assassinated would be interesting, would it not?
Patholos could possibly die or be captured by the Silhouette, making for a nice twist with the Narza'Tai, putting Patholos (the leader should Karn die) in danger and having Karn decide whether to save him or not.
Karn would have to save him from one of the camps, not from the Silhouette directly, but yeah that would be fine. Also, have Mannimarco start the conversation, I had the Silhouette come and ask who he was, if you read my last post in the playground.
really sorry. i dont have time to post now, but ill try to later tonight.
No problem Shogun. I'm planning on having people are at my place anyways so I might not be around to post tonight. Well if I do, it probably won't be until around 2am ![]()
Then there's the possibility I'll be intoxicated, but I think I still type pretty coherently while under the influence. Just takes a little longer.
Well, Ian and Issac are immobile until Satyana makes her statement. Ian's already tried (and clearly failed) to slay the Silhouete, escaping only due to guile (where would we be without it?) So, maybe Ian will accompany the force Karn sends to save Patholos (perhaps the Sil is counting on either Ian or Karn leading the counter-attack).
For the sake of the assassins, only Ian will encounter the demon (yeah, that's right, I called it a demon).
nevermind, on another note: what if Altair knows all about this meeting because Ian had the amulet.
It would be a plot twist, Veric did say that one did not have to wear the trinket for Veric to hear his/her thoughts.
i'm down with it if you are. i was just gonna let it slide for the sake of the secrecy of the meeting, but it would make things slightly more interesting..
though i dont know how much it would change things. veric already figures a few people have figured out he's not who he says he is....
Patholos will prolly go over with some Shadow Eaters, not many thought,
what would be the reason for his going over?
Hey guys I'm going to be gone starting Wednesday the 25th (USA time) and i'll be gone for 10 - 11 days... I don't think i'll have internet access so Sodsa will have to be demoted to a puny archer on the walls for while i'm gone i guess. Unless anyone wants to play with him, that where he will be. Sorry guys, i forgot about this trip.
would veric have any way of knowing that green root has those tomes that once belonged to kirana?
and if anyone would refresh my terrible memory, how exactly did he get them?
When Kirana spirited Mannimarco and herself away, she left her tomes behind. And Green-Root was the one to pick up her bags.
Veric was present when the Argonian picked them up.
I put Mannimarco's legion in the process of attacking the Narza'Tai lair. If the Narza'Tai pull out to defend their lair, the city's sewers are unproctected, level Astratus to pull men off the walls...etc. (btw Astratus wanted to speak with Karn, idk if the guards even found him...)
What should go down?
A fledgling guild's only base under attack....
Well, all (95-98%) of the 'Tai are in the sewers, so for all intents and purposes, the sewers are their base for the moment. They even sleep and eat there...... that's a gross thought.
Still there can be a small gathering there. Seeing as the Narza Tai are utilizing magical assets as best they can, after a brief confrontation all of the surviving members teleport to the sewers (it's not so much of a stretch that the Narza Tai would devise an alternate means of carrying members and supplies from point A to point B, as it were).
The "Tai are on their feet, I like that, maybe the dead being diverted to the Lair will confuse the tsaeci forces and divert some of their focus from the city to the 'Tai. Making better for the besieged...
Anyways, is Kirana coming back from the spirit form she is in? It would make for a cliched but epic confrontation.... lol
I wasn't planning on it... But unlike Cerpin, she doesn't want another body. Kirana is content for the moment to remain in the body of her old friend and aid him in whatever way she can. I've been thinking, if the host of the body were to be knocked out, not killed, then wouldn't the sub-conscious barriers between body and soul be weakened (especially for a vampire).
So, is it possible that even if Ian is incompacitated, that Kirana can break through the barriers and take more direct control of his body. Other than that, I guess she could be the eyes-in-the-back-of-his-head and also benefit him with her knowledge and advice.
just a reminder if anyone's characters happens to wander towards the arcane university, the large tower there is collapsed. veric killed it some playgrounds ago while running an errand for karn.
I had Astratus near the big spire in the middle of the city, idk, is that still intact? if not ill edit
different building. I think you're safe.
Perhaps a little prematurely, I had Ian march over Lake Rumare to confront Mannimarco...... Oh, well, I'm sure it isn't as bad as the "vampire ambush incident" earlier.
Hello? *echoes*
*Stands right beside Dantrag* "Dan, if you can hear me, go in the opposite direction that my echo is going!" *Echo*
I'm still here, I check every few hours to see if there is another person that could post.
I..am here now,
but thatīs not important....
Satyana canīt do much except talking to herserlf maybe and poor Brianna is waiting for Rahvin ....
Oh well, we can't have that. *fiegns enthusiasm* I'm on it.
I'm currently having internet problems at home right now. So the frequency of my posts might be limited to when I'm at work.
Oh yea... time for a new thread as well! Yippy!
And Issac and Satyana, perhaps?
Sorry guys ,I had a bit of a fight with one of my dear daughters yesterday....And atop of that we had a thunderstorm so I had to disconnect all my multimedia-stuff!
I was counting our characters too, the only women who aren't in love (and probably won't marry) are Amrita and Kirana (it would be odd to marry a spirit).
Well, I guess the Telina/Rahvin romance is long dead, so...I don't know. It would take quite the man to tame or be able to stand up against Telina, especially when she goes into one of those 'moods' and gets a homicidal urge to burne everything slightly wrong into a crisp
poor poor husband/boyfriend if that ever happened ![]()
Although, I just guess we'll see, she can be quite charming after all.
Wait, did no one close this thread, we're in VII now!? Well, Ian's not easily intimidated; right now he's just being respectful and civilized before going off to get more undead blood all over his robes (the red isn't paint or dye, I'm afraid, lol). ![]()
I'm pretty sure some women would have trouble getting used to that.....
