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.

heh... you could have just said it.

I didn't realize they spanned the entirety of the sewers, I thought they'd just be in a section or two.

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?

Yeah Voltar will help definitely. They will hurt the Silhouette, they should get hurt too, but the Silhouette will see the rest of his army getting defeated, and the fact that he hasn't ever met someone as good as him, so he will run.

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.

oh my gosh.... someone i (sort-of) know understands and knows that there is a difference between catapults and trebuchets.

I'm going to have Sodsa go to the walls and meet up with Issac, Rann, and Darus. I don't think to many people are at the Water Front anymore (Ian and Green root?).

tomorrow anyhow, i can't type tonight and i have stuff to do in the morning, night

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.
