Chorrol.com _ Role-playing _ The Quest to Njaal's lost brewery Discussion

Posted by: Tellie Mar 14 2016, 07:14 AM

Whelp, I'm back after a VERY lengthy hiatus and was saddened when I looked in at the RP forum and saw that there'd been no activity for over a year. SO I decided to start this thread, both as a way of finding out jsut how many people here are interested in starting up a new RP, as well as come with decent tips/ideas/desires so on and so forth...I'll just start shall I?

Tellie wishes for: BIG RP, meaning that we'll not have to restrict ourselves to one tiny city, or region so on so forth. At least an entire province if not more, while I love MW and Skyrim provinces I'd love to partake in an RP set in Summerset Isles or High Rock.

I'd also like for everyone to make their charaters the way he/she wants to make said characters, (previous experiences have taught me that even the 'op' chars get into trouble more often than not). Making your char the way YOU want to makes it easier for you to participate, and as such let all of us have fun, still no God modding though, or I'll have to bribe Minque to bring the Banhammer (I have hugs and brown cheese for you Minque if it ever comes to that biggrin.gif )

Lastly and MOST importantly is for everyone to have fun doing this. So please, those who are interested in starting up a new RP come together and let's make a story.

-Tellie out.

I'll join. Sounds interesting. I'm in.

Sadly, RP's don't last long here. Not many members, you see.

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 15 2016, 08:37 PM

With Liz and Colonel Mustard gone, and I'm not too sure about Uleni, I don't know that this'll get anywhere, unfortunately.

But I'm a sucker for attempts to kick this section back to life, so count me in.

Hi Tellie! Wonderful to see you back and trying to breathe some life into our RP section.

Although I’ve written a rather fair amount of fanfic, I’m quite the novice at RP. I’ve only participated in two – both here at chorrol. And both ended the same way, as too many players faded away from each RP for us continue.

Being an optimist however, I am certainly interested in participating in another RP where players can, hopefully, ‘stay the course’. My one and only character is a mystic archer. She plays well with others in a supporting role and can fit readily into most any party. Based on your first post, it sounds that you (like me) are interested in a TES-based RP.

Posted by: Tellie Mar 16 2016, 12:23 AM

Hmm, well at least we have a start of 4 people biggrin.gif
To kick off why don't we all chip in with suggestions and/or desires. I'll go first.

Timeline: Either in the years between TESIV and V or perhaps a few years after Skyrim (if we go by Stormcloak victory then Tamriel could REALLY be in turmoil)

Provinces, MW/Skyrim or Cyrodiil/Skyrim/MW. I doubt Summerset Isles would be the best place considering the nazi like state of things there atm. The only people I could foreseeably see in Summerset other than slaves would be fellow members of the dominion.

'Main Quest'...figure something out as we go along? Haven't thought about that atm. Good starting point would be the classic D&D fashion of our (un)lucky heroes meeting in a dodgy tavern somewhere and forced to work together as events conspire outside of their control.

No 'Dovakhiin' characters...the Dragonborn in Skyrim is supposed to be the last one for a reason, having a bunch of characters then running about shouting thuums left right and centre would be a bit foolish.

Name: No clue really, lets try to agree on at least a basic plot, time/place of start first at the very least.

Liz is gone?

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 16 2016, 04:05 PM

Yeah, she left a while back, after a post in the Coffee Shop thread.

As for the rp;

I'd prefer something set closer to Oblivion than Skyrim. I'm a sucker for Telvanni characters, and they're somewhat scarce by the time of Skyrim.

Another rp in Skyrim? Seems they're in every forum I go on. At this rate I might have to go against my decision not to buy the game, just to see where everyone's rping laugh.gif But, Morrowind's on the list, so I'm happy biggrin.gif

As for the plot, what sort of scale are we talking about here? The big, Elder Scrolls events of the games, or something smaller?

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 16 2016, 05:17 PM

Morrowind sounds nice. But Telvanni? We don't need their scum! I'd vote for a timeline closer to Oblivion, too. And Tellie, also be aware that we don't need a huge-scale crisis to RP in. Something small and contained suffices. If we chose Third Era Morrowind, will it be before, during or after the Oblivion Crisis? If we do agree to go there, after all?

I'd prefer small-scale, but big scale doesn't shy me away either.

I choose either Morrowind or Cyrodiil. If we roll with Cyrodiil(depending on the timeline) I might just have to add a sixteen unexperienced farm boy tongue.gif

If we go to Morrowind, well, things might be more adventurous there . . . in that ugly, ashy, Dark-elf filled land.

I’d be fine with anything TES, I’m sure. That said, I do have a few thoughts –

I join DE in urging that we consider a small scale / limited mission RP. Given chorrol’s history with RP’s I should think we might fare better with a smaller / shorter RP. Perhaps if we get a successful ‘completion’ under our belt, it might improve the chances of success with a more ambitious project?

As far as location, I am most comfortable in either Cyrodiil or Skyrim.

Buffy can travel time rather freely, so which era is not critical to us.

The (apparently) common start of adventurers meeting in a tavern seems effective and flexible to me. Bear in mind that as an RP novice, such a tried and true starting venue is still new and fresh to me.

Don't worry, it was a tease. I do have Telvanni characters in my stories, and I find them interesting.

Wel you guys have given me something to work with so I shall do me best to cook something up. For now I'll make a character thread at least so that everyone can post their character.

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 16 2016, 08:56 PM

Y'know, I'm gonna have to throw together a Telvanni character. Either a Sorcerer or a Nightblade, haven't decided yet.

You're more than welcome Uleni, it seemed the proper thing to do when I slunk back in guiltily after a two year hiatus to try and do something productive...

There are OTHER forums where the main focus is getting...'cuddling' from other characters???

Well I'm off...

*disappears*

Seriously, I too have missed doing proper RP ('in-game' RP on ESO or SWTOR just doesn't cut it)
Now we just need to entice more people (or poach them from other forums)

Hmm, I think I've already decided on how to make her. Yep, it's going to be a girl, a little girl, and she's kinda going to be a Sweet Polly Oliver type of character that joins the party to sate her wish for an adventurous life. All I need now is some background history, an appearance and I'm allllllll seetttt.

Tellie, I'm loving the simple, elegant first post for the actual RP. As you say, if read carefully, everything we need to know is carefully woven in there. An RP prominently featuring mead has to be fun! goodjob.gif

Awww, but you can still use him! Let's be useless baggage together! And I'm gonna spice my character up a few more. I think... I'm going to make her a result of one of Athyn's many dalliances. That's right, Tellie. With your permission I think I'm going to make my character a bastard from your character's loins hahahaha (they both don't know it though, to make it more dramatic)

Some randoms so far -

In reviewing my first post, I just realized that I 'committed' the setting to late in the afternoon or perhaps early in the evening. I hope that is not a problem and I can edit it to earlier in the day if needed.

I'm assuming it is okay to take some 'control' of standard NPCs (like the innkeeper, Maenlorn) during interactions. But I'm also assuming the big bearded Nordic NPC is being controlled by Tellie. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm a novice at this RP stuff, remember?).

CT, I did see your first post before you edited it away and thought it was perfect. It gave your character the perfect reason to to to the Flowing Bowl. Just my two septims.

DE, so neat that you are using a younger Kraven!

Eh, the idea was alright, but the execution was terrible. I was too tired, and it was too rushed, that was the problem.

Posted by: Tellie Mar 18 2016, 10:35 PM

Naturally any NPC (unless stated otherwise like Njaal) can be 'intereacted' with and 'controlled by all of us.

The incident with running away from a beating...did it involve a sweetroll tongue.gif

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 19 2016, 12:21 AM

@Callidus Thorn: All of you, of course! She's going to learn how to be a grim and brooding hunter from Dee Dee; she's going to learn how to be a brash and bloodthirsty maniac from Athyn; she's going to learn how to be a ray of sunshine from Buffy; and she's going to learn how to be a crabby and callous Mage from Eddy. tongue.gif

This is, like, going to be a Bildungsroman of sorts for this character as the RP progresses. A new challenge and departure from the types of characters I normally use haha

@Tellie: Alongside the sweet roll, it also involved Cakes. And we all know how Cakes lie.

Posted by: Acadian Mar 19 2016, 01:30 AM

Tellie, not quite sure what edibles Athyn’s referring to here -
'His nose suddenly twitched and he stared at what the Bosmer was eating. "Where did you procure that"? Athyn asked as he felt his mouth water.'

Buffy finished a grilled slaughterfish steak and Maenlorn removed her plate. The only thing edible in front of her is a partial goblet of Tamika red.

Kraven’s dishes still remain, but he is largely done with his meal of ‘two loaves of bread, cheese-wheel, mutton and cheap wine.'

Let me know exactly what has caught the old Dunmer's attention and I’ll be happy to work with anything. smile.gif

I meant initially, but it seems you've answered that question for me.

Oh, and fyi, since it seems to be mealtime in Anvil "the usual" included a meal. I was hoping to avoid mentioning what it was, since I don't know jack about cooking laugh.gif

And, I have to ask... Monk-Boy?

I'm sorry, but without a tip, I don't think Dilemma is inclined much to give you your meal. But I am a nice person so I'll give it to you in my next character post; just don't mind the spit *evil laughter*



As for who Monk-Boy is... Ask Dee Dee (DE) for that one, CC Lemon No.1

He'll probably rant about how order and discipline must be maintained throughout the Empire by pressing molten metal rod against the genitals of the Empire's enemies, too.

Haha Uleni. I remember that roleplay. It was hilarious.

Monk-Boy is the name Uleni has for my character Draken. At the time of the old RP he was a very old vampire masquerading as a young Nine-Divines loving monk at the Weynon Priory.

And no, it's no problem. Many of my characters are arrogant(to the point of their own undoing), manipulative, murderous, self-serving, etc. I have a soft spot for darker complicated characters. Now Kraven here is just a young man. I didn't want to introduce him the way I did with the older versions of him; big, strong, scarred bearded battle-hardened brute. I figured I need to shine a bit of light.

And Acadian..... That's not the first time I've heard desires to braid Kraven's hair voiced.

I figured it would be in the next post. And that's the sort of thing Edril was talking about when he mentioned "servants' tricks".

Hey, maybe we could form a trio of douchebags and set out to conquer Tamriel. I'll take out Celdryn, Dee Dee will bring Draken and you can bring in your most dark and murderous character and we'll be allll set.

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 19 2016, 10:49 PM

And then the three fight it out* to become the supreme ruler of Tamriel? biggrin.gif

*Via whatever devious and malevolent means they have at their disposal, of course.

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 19 2016, 10:52 PM

Of course, of course. Dark Lords rarely brook an equal to exist, after all! Haha

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 19 2016, 10:54 PM

And the three of them would probably wreak more carnage than the Oblivion Crisis rollinglaugh.gif

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 20 2016, 05:52 PM

Wait.... Are we leaving Cyrodiil?

Posted by: Tellie Mar 20 2016, 06:04 PM

Nope, we are going to have to track them down in Cyrodiil, as I 'said' (wrote) the border north to Skyrim has been closed for some reason (reason will be explained IC) and Morrowind's border has also been sealed due to the increasing blight.

Since the RP has been launched and is doing well, I've taken the liberty of renaming this thread from a generic 'New RP Discussion' title to reflect our new RP by name. This is not only consistent with the other two threads associated with this RP, but may help avoid possible confusion when starting any future 'New RP' projects. smile.gif

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 21 2016, 01:56 AM

On an unrelated note, I am loving Dilemma right now. I just made her up to be a useless waif wanting to be an adventurer but now, as I get to know her character better, she's showing me stuff about her that I haven't completely designed for her. Don't you just love it when your character finally opens up? :S

Posted by: Acadian Mar 21 2016, 03:33 AM

Aww, that's wonderful news, Uleni. I'm so pleased that you and Dilemma are connecting so well. That is such a great help when trying to make creative magic! smile.gif

Posted by: Tellie Mar 21 2016, 03:37 AM

I have a feeling that Athyn despite his best intentions will find himself somewhat...fond of Dilemma (in that crazy uncle/eccentric grandfatherly way) XD

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 21 2016, 04:08 AM

You guys better connect with Dilemma while you still can though. I've got plans for her, you see, and possibly a personal quest of you guys are interested emot-ninja1.gif

As long as there aren't any battles involved. Yes!

Posted by: Acadian Mar 21 2016, 01:25 PM

DE, are you working on a post? It kind of 'feels' like Kraven's 'turn' at the table and Athyn does have a question open to us. I can certainly post if you like - the elven chatterbox never runs out of things to say, and she does indeed have some more questions. But I'll keep her on her hands until I hear (or see) whether you plan to post next. smile.gif

And Uleni, I love Dilemma's spy kitty!

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 21 2016, 03:38 PM

Yes. Sorry about the delay. This weekend was hectic. I'll cook up a post.

Posted by: Acadian Mar 21 2016, 04:06 PM

No need to apologize. I don't mind a bit if an RP runs at a leisurely pace - as long as it keeps running. tongue.gif Seriously, I simply wanted to make sure you weren't waiting on me to post again before you. smile.gif

I Accept this Challenge...


Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 22 2016, 02:28 PM

Well, this is more confrontational than I'd expected laugh.gif

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 22 2016, 03:54 PM

Three dark elves in this RP. . . Good thing this is before Kraven was a slave to the Telvanni . . .

laugh.gif

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 22 2016, 11:34 PM

Yeah, the monopoly of characters is being dominated by our dark elves so much that I'm thinking of introducing another character of another race. Just to add variance you know.

Posted by: Tellie Mar 23 2016, 02:45 AM

I am sorely tempted to ask Acadian to change the name for No Country fo Old Mer now XD

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 23 2016, 09:36 AM

Ha! That's two votes laugh.gif

One more gets us a majority tongue.gif

Any takers? biggrin.gif

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 23 2016, 07:13 PM

Yeah, sure. Why not?

Posted by: Acadian Mar 23 2016, 07:23 PM

Be careful what you ask for, DE. Next thing we know, Athyn will restrict the expedition to Dunmer only. Then Kraven and Buffy will be stuck trying grab themselves a gig taking care of rats for the Fighters Guild. tongue.gif

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 23 2016, 07:31 PM

Hehe. Sounds like quite an adventure, though . . . wouldn't you say? tongue.gif

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 24 2016, 11:06 PM

Tellie, I don't mean to rush you, but...

Actually, I kind of do biggrin.gif

Posted by: Tellie Mar 24 2016, 11:10 PM

hehe, been a very Heavy day of work today (and yesterday) Will post tomorrow when I Wake up and have gotten some coffee into my system.

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Mar 26 2016, 04:25 PM

Well... This one died quick.

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 26 2016, 06:54 PM

Do you know something I don't, DE? It seems a little early to call it.

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 26 2016, 10:20 PM

Yeah, I'm just waiting for Tellie to post. If she doesn't today, I'mma do mine and post it sometime this evening.

Posted by: Tellie Mar 27 2016, 05:15 PM

Sorry guys, there is REALLY bad Connection up here on the mountaint (easter holiday of skiing) Which is why I haven't posted. I'm going back tomorrow evening Norwegian time. (I am forced to Write this on my rather crappy phone).

Anyway happy easter

Posted by: Acadian Mar 27 2016, 05:27 PM

Happy Easter, Tellie, and thanks for the update. happy.gif

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 28 2016, 05:05 AM

Welp, I'm gonna wait for Tellie then. It's kind of a cop-out on my part but damnit, Dilemma is being unhelpful AF

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 28 2016, 07:42 PM

Sounds like you have quite the...

Problem

Posted by: minque Mar 29 2016, 10:56 AM

Is there room for an Imperial mage and healer? WHO also is very good at casting spelas....sweet ones or very verynasty ones.....

Posted by: Uleni Athram Mar 29 2016, 11:39 AM

And one of the old guard returns!

Posted by: minque Mar 29 2016, 12:44 PM

Eh....yes, I felt that urge for RP.....been so long...

Posted by: Tellie Mar 29 2016, 03:03 PM

*hugs Minque* You're most welcome to join...only question I have is why Rianne is in Cyrodiil when she is living in Ald Rhuun biggrin.gif

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 29 2016, 04:46 PM

Heheh, another Dunmer! laugh.gif

Posted by: Tellie Mar 29 2016, 04:50 PM

No country for Old Mer

Does anyone second the motion XD

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Mar 29 2016, 05:01 PM

Sorry, can't.

Too many young Mer for that.

It's Children of Mer now tongue.gif

Posted by: Tellie Mar 31 2016, 11:16 PM

Well...I posted my reply XD
Who be next?

Posted by: Acadian Mar 31 2016, 11:25 PM

Methinks that Tellie, DE and I are at the table waiting for CT to respond to a question?

In the meantime, it would seem that Uleni or minque could post, possibly making progress to the tavern?

Posted by: Uleni Athram Apr 2 2016, 02:14 AM

I'll take down two birds with one stone and have Dilemma make progress towards the tavern while giving Minque an opening to interact with me.

Posted by: Uleni Athram Apr 6 2016, 10:18 PM

I... Think I'm just gonna continue ... Over to where the others.. Are? Still gonna wait one day for Minque tho

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Apr 8 2016, 10:25 PM

Is Minque even in this? She doesn't seem to have been online since she posted her character, who appears to be in the wrong province?

Posted by: Uleni Athram Apr 9 2016, 10:36 PM

Is she? Maybe Minque's description was just a tad bit vague. Anyway, if she's still not gonna post, then I will and continue on to the frozen conversation in the Flowing Bowl.

Which reminds me.

Where is Tellie????

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Apr 10 2016, 03:15 PM

That's actually a good question...

Posted by: Tellie Apr 10 2016, 07:11 PM

Sorry about my absense. I've been completely overworked since I returned from my holiday as such I've not managed to muster up the strength (or will) to do anything. (14 hour shifts will do that for you)

The rest of the management team has fortunately returned now so I'm back to a more regular schedule. Also, has anyone heard anything else from minque?

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Apr 13 2016, 08:01 PM

Well, according to her profile she's not been online since she posted her character. If you haven't heard from her, I would think it's safe to say she's not going to participate.

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Apr 13 2016, 08:15 PM

Oh, this is very surprising indeed. This never happened before.


......... dry.gif

Posted by: minque May 14 2016, 02:16 AM

Thanks for your kind words DE! kvright.gif I won't deny I have been absent and away...truth is I got sort of cold feet, the last RP I was participsting in, ended up pretty catastrophic....so Im not sure abort this..

Oh btw, what do you mean, Rianne is in the wrong place? She lives in Aldru'n, but the plan is to let her start out in Anvil, tis possible to travel you know blink.gif laugh.gif

So dont give up hope on me just yet!

Posted by: Acadian May 16 2016, 03:13 PM

Hee! This is like herding cats! Now that minque is back, Tellie has disappeared! biggrin.gif

Minque, I think the group we have in this RP are all wonderfully supportive so I wouldn't worry about troubles or conflicts among us. Our only challenge is, like I allude to above, keeping everyone active and posting in the RP. I think DE was just reflecting a bit of the frustration that both he and I share from being 'left at the altar' several times during RPs here as others have faded away during ongoing RPs. The fix is everyone being here and posting! tongue.gif

If I'm not mistaken, I thought Uleni was going to try and work with you to bring both your characters into the tavern perhaps together. It does kind of seem like we're stuck at the moment pending the arrival of your and Uleni's characters. smile.gif

Posted by: minque May 16 2016, 05:56 PM

Ok! Well I'll re-read the rp thread and see what char Uleni has created....then I'll make a starting post with Rianne, and see what will come out of that. I could pm Uleni....hmmmm yes as you see I have a plan!

Posted by: Tellie Jun 15 2016, 08:50 PM

*shuffles in nervously* I am back after a well deserved...I'd call it holiday but that would be misleading, it certainly wasn't enjoyable for the most part, from climbing Mt.Manaslu in the Himalayans.

Summiting was awesome and awe inspiring beyond belief, but most of the trip was a nightmare. cold, windy, altitude sickness, vomiting, the runs...expeditions to the himalayans are way more taxing than you'd think and I have experienced 'extreme' expeditions before, the hardest one so far was in antarctica.

Anywho, if people are still willing I am more than happy to continue the RP
And Id like to apologize for forgetting to send word that I was leaving...too excited you see.

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Jun 15 2016, 10:27 PM

Well, I certainly wouldn't object to continuing. I'm kind of going into rp withdrawal laugh.gif

But dragging Uleni back might pose something of a problem.

Posted by: Tellie Jun 15 2016, 10:30 PM

Oh? what have I missed

Posted by: Callidus Thorn Jun 15 2016, 10:33 PM

Nothing, it's just that he's been pretty quiet of late. The few times he's popped up recently I don't think he's said much more than "ice cream".

Posted by: Tellie Jun 15 2016, 10:34 PM

Ice cream is good though...

I'll do a re-read of the thread to pick up on what I've might have missed/forgotten and do a post tomorrow

Posted by: Acadian Jun 15 2016, 10:50 PM

Welcome back Tellie! I'm so glad you didn't freeze your bits off up in the mountains! tongue.gif

I'm happy to keep going. I'll be here to post whenever appropriate opportunities for Buffy come up. She's kind of stuck awaiting others at the table in the tavern now.

Posted by: Tellie Jun 16 2016, 03:46 PM

and we're off again smile.gif

Posted by: minque Jun 18 2016, 03:48 PM

Hmm good youre back Tellie...I figure I really want to join...

Posted by: Tellie Jun 18 2016, 10:39 PM

Jump right in Minque, we're glad to have you
