The War of Necromancy, Planning Thread Options

[jack cloudy]

Err, should Swift investigate the lack of screaming, weapons clashing and stuff exploding? (oh, and a galloping horse.) Or should he stay where he is and wait for you people to come over to his place?

[ureniashtram]

Should investigate, IMO. Introduction and all that.

[Lord Revan]

I decided to have Nathan deduce the presence of necromancers beneath the fort with the amulet. It establishes his role as something of a witch hunter.

[ureniashtram]

When should Undorsil pop in and say 'I wanna kill you all with my breath'? In Bruma or .. the Fort Empire? Where the whole caravan is at?

Er.. Should we vote or something?

Bruma would be best I think...seeing as he will make our job very difficult...why even Aren is going to have trouble dealing with Undorsil.

[jack cloudy]

Whenever he'll first pop up, definitely not here. Simply for the reason that the only way out for him would be through us. Which is BAD news.

[ureniashtram]

Gotcha! Bruma it is then! Woo, I'm lookibg forward to it.

[ureniashtram]

Had decided to let Undorsil make his presence felt. Don't worry, it won't affect the flow of the RP... too much.

[Dantrag]

So...how is this rescue/escape going to happen? Are we trying to make it go smoothly and move on, or is something going to go terribly wrong?

[ureniashtram]

Well... The Vampire has the key for Falius' cell right? (assuming Grif is patient enough to wait, {sorry for being slow, man!})

So I would guess that a lengthy battle would ensue and you know, that sort of stuff.

[grif11]

dont worry, i can wait!

[grif11]

just so ive got something to do though, i'll control mardus ,the vamire who captured falius, if thats all right

[ureniashtram]

..

You snatched the idea from my head! Sure, go ahead.

[Lord Revan]

I'm going to be out of country for much of next week. My participation may be sporadic during that time, just a heads-up, y'all.

[Dantrag]

so...can i get a bit of an explanation about undorsil? What exactly is this dark energy tower? Is it supposed to have an effect on our characters or simply provide a more evil backdrop?

[jack cloudy]

Heck if I know. I thought Undorsil was a long distance from us yet it is raining blood right at our spot and Cyldreen is getting all sick. In his case he can afford to feel a bit under the weather for the moment, but I don't think that will work out well for the stealth squad.

Anyway, what is the vector of this sudden sickness? If it's the blood then Aren, Aerona and Swift should be fine since they've got a ceiling above their heads. If it is a purely magical zone of feeling awful, then we might have trouble. I know that I'm gonna ignore it myself for now, but that's because Swift is more resistant to disease anyhow.

A little bit of both, I guess. Undorsil 'making his presence felt' ends here. I won't control him for the time being; once we get to Bruma he'll definately make his presence felt. And the effect...

Bloodrain. That's the carrier. So basically all of Cyrodiil is covered with diseased rain. You could compare it to acid rain, perhaps. Only its much more harmful to humans and animals.

As for the effects, well.. Weakened senses and weak fever. As long as you have umbrella on your head, you'd be fine. But unfortunately, umbrellas hadn't been produced in the FOurth Era, last time I checked. If you don't wanna have the harmful effects, just drink some Resist Disease Potion or something.

[Ahrenil]

Quick note, i'm off for a week on the 5th, so carry on without me while i'm gone.

[grif11]

gonna be away friday to monday.

if falius escapes by then, he's going to rest in wagon.

if not, you can decide how to handle mardus Tellie, and Falius could be taken to the meetup point where he rests in the wagon

[Dantrag]

yea, we should probably try to wrap this little mission up before you leave, then.

maybe falius could do something fancy to help defeat the vampire, but it gets him hurt pretty bad. then there's a reason for him to be resting in the wagon for a while.
