So I guess me and shogun need to decide on when I'm freeing Veric now eh? If I remember correctly it seems that we were interested in doing it relatively soon, like while they're still in the Imperial City. No one got back to me on that one though
im up for it anytime. and no one really answered... i'm assuming that veric was banished to his own domain-thingy? that's what i am putting in the char sheet now..
Yea, from what I remember, he's in his own dimension thingy reading prophecy about the kids.
which character is it of yours that is giong to free veric again? not flogir i assume.
No, not Flogir. An Altmer by the name of Voltar is in the midst of figuring out how to release Veric.
Voltar's hideout is a little shack along the western coastline, North of Anvil.
Since we didn't have Rann raised by Sadril as planned, we're just going to have to schedule a meeting.
Just wondering - should Hecate escape from the Imperial Prison (since that's most likely the place where he would end up, if not executed) and maybe manage to come in contact with Veric as soon as he has come free?
Already thought of a classic escape seen for Hecate - Sorry, won't be a Prison Break, the Imperial Prison...
He's 54 now though, so I'll post in character thread if everyones alright with it. The group, especially Flint will be like his arch-enemy type of thing
Oh yeah, definitely. I would love to get Hecate back. All those times he tried to off Flint were hilarious. I do suggest you read the character thread though. Flint has a few new tricks up his sleeve.
Edit: I do suggest that Hecate is in prison for either business or a new crime. I don't think they'll wait twenty years with execution. Not with every guard running around in armour with a Broadsword.
I'll see if I can come up with something. Maybe he was just chained deep inside the prison for life, for some that's worse than a execution..
And I'd be quite mad at the ones who put me there. Good incentive to keep up the evil fight!
My my... our rogues gallery has made a substantial increase, our good guys better beware!
Im just waiting for things to get rolling before the Silhouette starts everything.
Well, the Sil has sent Karn to kill Chan. Ocato, and Green-Root to gather the pirates to attack Bravil and Leyawin. As for what he's doing personally...... only Florodine knows.
PS: Karn's loyalty to the Silhouete is not as strong as it appears, Virec could persuade him to fight for your cause
ah i see. it would seem my return (and now veric's) have coincided with a sub-plot of sorts? i havent fully read through the THiH II threads yet, simply skimmed.
You do know, then, that Veric's main goal now is the vacant emperor's position?
Yea, it's a sub-plot of sorts, something to distract our heroes while we tried to figure out when to release Veric.
Basically, a powerful (and secretive) being known simply as The Silhouette, has amassed an army in the mountains, as his call attracts those with evil in their hearts. Though some evil beings obviously have the mental capacity to resist this attraction (Voltar, likely Veric and Sadril, and Karn for example).
Now with Veric released, we can figure out some different ways of incorporating whether Veric will be against the Sil or neutral or possibly make use of him or whatever.
Ohhh oooo!! Hes the Lord Protector
Yes I am such a history dork..
I left it vague for a reason. It fits the story as long as you don't give out its exact words. Basically, there are different possible endings in the prophecy, each one centering on the actions of the three; they can all help or harm, or they could even ally themselves on different sides. So he may not want to kill them, if it guarantees his ascension, but he doesn't want to risk them stopping him either.
by ascension you mean to the throne correct?
there would have to be a deeper motive however. something greater gained by becoming emperor through the use of three.
Perhaps the power of the Aedra? Martin turned into an incarnation of Akatosh if I read through the threads on this forum correctly. Hey, more power is always a nice thing. Especially since Akatosh is the lord of time. Time is a great power to command.
As for Green-Root, I'm going to wait a few Rp-days till I think he's had enough time to organize the desired attack.
Oh dear oh dear.....so much happened while I was away..hmmm gonna start catching up then. Satyana sticks with Rann and Jonathan....of course she helps Jon! But I´m not really sure what they´re up to just now. That Library.....why do they have to go there? I haven´t really understood that part. And will Satyana also go with them? Someone just enlighten me a tad? please...
They're going to the library to look for a certain word that Dalrus discovered, Moldaire, I think the word was. Basically, it's a word that connects to the Silhouette and his minions. But that's about all I know about it.
I was simply just tossing out ideas, I figured that one wouldn't be a choice though
But it would be a good idea to figure out how Veric and the Silhouette will interact with each other.
i should have a reply with veric in a bit, metal mallet. i just need to think of what xactly to do
I hope that the gang is either gone when Veric arrives, or that he fails to recognize the oldtimers. If not, we're all nosedeep into trouble.
I'm not worried about Sathyana. After all, there are multiple solutions to the phrophesy and Veric would probably love the irony of using one of the kids for his own goals. No, I'm worried about Flint. He's too old to put up a fight against a big baddie like Veric.
Don't forget that the oldtimers were the ones who sealed him. He might want revenge. Especially if revenge is easy.
Hmmm...ok no Satyana would probably be ok....Then Flint..yes...he´s a bit older now..but maybe...well no I don´t know if I should put in Serene.....she´s also a bit older now but her powers are still outstanding.
I believe that everyone is leaving for the library. So it is more likely that they are just outside the Bloated float and walking away than sitting inside and talking. Ok, I'll make a post.
pff she must've seemed drunk to veric then.
Yeah.....hmm hopefully Danny will post as Rahvin soon or Brianna will dwell in limbo.....
Just wondering, as I didn't really catch the last parts of THIH but where did Serene end up?
Ald'rhun. I think at least. Sounds like the right place to go. Back to Athyn who she was with before joining up with the THIH gang.
who raised rann again? and where has tellie been?
and nice post @fuzzy with the return of hecate you write fight scenes so well.
did you miss my post metal, or did i just stump you?
im afraid we're stuck to small talk until i actually formulate a plan.
No problem! I like small talk!
I did answer Veric's question, you must've missed it.
nah, im talking about my post at the end of page 7.
Yea... I just realized that
EDIT: I edited my last post to have Voltar attempt to answer you
So when we leave the Imperial City can we stop by Jonathans parents sted? I won't to enter in Altec but I'd sooner do it there.
But we can take our time, I'm in no big hurry/
my apologies, dantrag, but i only vaguely recall anything about a tattoo on rahvin. had he mentioned anything im sure sadril would've remembered, it's just my memory that has failed...
so i am forced to ask you if rahvin said anything about a tattoo.
It wasn't a big part in THIH, he had it, but its power was never used or discussed. Sadril may or may not have picked something up when they shared a head. Up to you.
something along the lines of he knows that it existed, but no specifics.
im off for the night.
Hey peeps I might not be able to be around a bit.. See my computer commited hari kari the other night so i'm forced to use my brothers computer for the time being. So, if anything important happens just tag Jonathan along.. Altec is fine as hes a loner anyways.
So should Karn attack now?
Jacky, just wondering if I remember correctly - but were your argonian char and pirates going to attack Leyawiin? Just wondering
Yes, we were. The actual plan was to attack Bravil as well. Only, I checked the map and if my pirates (MINE, ALL MINE! ) were using a boat, Leywaiin (damn troublesome name) was closer. I decided to stop over for a while and enjoy a good round of pillage and plunder.
Well - Don't leave yet, as you might bump into someone in the city, coming from the sea as well
I'll stick around. Just stay away from my loot!
*get's threatened by several cutlasses*
Ok, ok. Pirate rules. Whoever gets there first, gets to keep it.
*shoots away with Skybolt.*
it would seem sadril has the book on the moldaire now.. if anyone wants to relieve it from him...
oh my gosh.... I'm so sorry, RL was real hectic, could someone give me the lowdown that has happened in this playground? Thanks.
Karn has begun the attack on Chancellor Ocato, sadril is about to duke it out with...... a lot of people, and the rest of the party is looking up the word in the Library....... Also Virec and Voltar are getting a room in an inn. I think that's everything.....
lol 10 pages in 3 line, brilliant, thanks for the help Revan. Now to pop into the library and act like my drunk (hung-over?) Breton been there the whole time... tricky, tricky, tricky.
just knock a bookshelf over, get thrown out, and do some drunken style boxing with a couple of wandering assassins
shogun, rann's statement about the empire is a good cue for veric to use some manipulating skills.
Rann's not fond of the empire, due to his upbringing. Veric could use that to convince him to join him. Rann's the 'neutral' one, remember?
so where should we go with this? Turmoil over who gets to be emperor, power grabs and assassinations? Anything is possible.
I'm voting for the * Sodsa's inner deamon(yeah i love that spelloing ) that was locked inside of him when he was just a babe by evil cultists (which was why he was kicked out of the camp, the elders thought that when Sodsa died the deamon would go with him, but Sodsa survived so the deamon lives on, obviously) bursts out and trys to take over everything because the time is right* plan but hey, thats just me and i'm slightly biased toward my char
(oh and if it sounds bs-ish, thats because i thought it up in about 4 seconds... i dunno. pretty cool idea imo )
Shrugs, "works with me." So, Sodsa has "anger issues" throughout the quest and sometimes is a danger to the party............... It took me three seconds to come up with that, so HAH!
pie takeover empire!
2 seconds and even less to type, so hah!
but as far as where we go... i dunno bout you guys... Sadril will prolly go off to find rahvin soon, and veric is attempting to convert rann.
the force in the east needs to be dealt with, both groups see that as a priority so i sense the good may end up working together with veric, although they wont know it
either way the broader picture seems to ultimately lead up to the silhouette and veric fighting for power... *shrug*
[/crappy summary and inner thinkings of shogun]
And Karn will not have solid alligences with either, but will never aid the party. Also, I doubt the Silhouete's army has discovered the secret dojo located in the same mountain range that they have their camp. So the agents there could be another facter in the final climax........ and their not to be trifled with
the final battle will not be against his current army, however, i need to find the exact year, but when did the Tsaeci who ran the empire get assassinated?
Shogun, I'm thinking that Rann will join Veric with promises of revolution. He'll stay for awhile, helping to get rid of the competition (silhouette and gang) but will probably switch sides again once actions are taken against Satyana, Dalrus, or any of the others in the group.
Pirates will be attacking Bravil soon, and reavers will be going towards bruma. I think the horde will attack Cheydinhal. Mallet, you could have Flogir go up north on request of Eurod, once Bruma gets attacked.
Sounds like a plan. Whenever Bruma calls, Flogir will be a-answerin'!
Fuzzy, just a question. When are Arco and Serene going to arrive in Leyawiin?
PS: Wow, I never thought I would get a discussion about politics here.
I...think we´ll be there pretty soon... Just a few sharkies to get rid of
And while all this goes on, Ian will be putting it on his sjoulders to keep the group together. He'll probably have a lot of turbulance with Rann, if he does decide to follow Virec. And Karn is looking for the Silhouete..........
PS: couldn't they just be huge slaughterfish?
it will be hard for me to get on till sunday night.. sorry.
I'm about to bash my head into my keyboard..
Jonathans father is a stable master.. he owns a horse farm.. a stable if you will.. Jonathans not gallavanting around for his health hes directing you where to go so that we can get ample supplies and horses for the journey...
I'm trying to tie a few loose ends here but you got to help me..
now now, thats so obvious Channler, and its no fun if we can get free horses, but i'm pretty sure most everybody is either heading outside or toward Jonathan's dad's stable
We are on our way, that's for sure.
Fuzzy, most pirates have left though there might be a few drunk ones who were left behind.
Okidoki, then Issac and Satyana will go get some horsies at the stable.....meeting Jonathan again maybe?
Renie and Arco are heading towards Leyawiin, to save what or who can be saved, drunkards or not
Eurod and Galadrile must help that poor guy who´s hanging over their heads....maybe drag some hay-thingies or something he could land on....Otherwise Galadriel better be good at healing....Is she???
Well, on sundays I tend to finally do my homework for Jr. High school, so I'll be on 'till three, and then I'll work on homework and get beck on ASAP.
I wonder what rann will think about his sister spending time with Issac........ Not pretty I'm guessing. *Arrows and spells wizz through the air and sword clash!*
well i'm thinkin' about having Sodsa to get pissed and storm off to do stuff... what I have no idea, so he could get ticked at Rann treating Satyana like a kid (yeah stupid but i could happen)
Yeah, I just realized that, but he could still just not like Issac as much as he would have.
Rann will probably give him a warning, not so much a 'stay away from her' as it would be a 'hurt her, you die'
Other than that, nothing would really change. Jonathan was different because he moved from Dalrus to Satyana in minutes.
and if Sodsa tries to get both.... yeah he'll get hell.... oblivion? i dunno The Wrath of the divines... yeah, that sounds good
soul, unless you actually meant rouge (pronounced rooj), which is french for red, i believe the spelling you're looking for your character would be rogue (pronounced roge)
....ermm yeah... He is Sodsa the red... because of all the battles he's gone through.... yeeaaah. okay i always mess up that word. don't know why but i mean rogue. gotta love French.. which mightexplane why the word looks correct either way. I took some French last year and the year before in High School.
Compared to Saturday there was hardly as much activity......... Not a whole lot of people posted (myself included) in the actual playground.
Should Flogir be called to Bruma before the trip to Leyawiin or after? Like, it would be quite the trip for Eurod to travel all the way to Leyawiin for the help of one man. Just tossing that out there for ya.
just so you know, roleplaying out three days will take quite long time, especially at the pace we roleplay at. and it will be quite boring if all your doing is travelling from IC to Leyawiin. I'd suggest shortening the time to a day, or just a *bang three days later they arrive in leyawiin* type deal
either way, im putting veric on hold for the moment (if you dont mind, metal mallet) and sadril will arrive in chorrol shortly.
meh i don't mind what we do, as long as i get to have fun...
I just want the others to get online so we can continue........
sounds good to me. I swear, people avoid me like the plague (garg... i don't know why, but i keep putting my u's in front of my g's) watch, i get off and everyone will get back on
Yea, I'm find with Veric being put on hold, though if I remembered correctly they were planning on snooping out the Silhouette's encampment. But that can always wait I guess.
I don't mind the skimming past the three days to get to Leyawiin part either.
three day skip will commence once the group leaves Mr. Constantine's.
Hmm...When will Dalrus be back...Tritus is kinda hanging there...and the whole reaver attack really depends on him...
i dunno, havn't seen him on aim much lately (yeah doesn't mean much but hey it counts)
my last post just made me realize how much the plot has accelerated.
ocato's dead and leyawiin has been burned. it seems only a few more days and cyrodiil will be off the map for good
Sorry, Danny and Revan, but i remembered i have to type somthin up for school tomorrow so i'm gettin off. Anyways, Danny if you want one just take it and then you guys can ignore Sodsa and assume he's watching
so i asked once before, but tellie controls amrita, correct? the other of brianna's offspring? er... she hasn't been on in a while... is she due to come back at some point?
I have no clue as to other people's schedules, and I've also noticed her absence........ Yes, she controls Amrita.
Yup..and since Amrita is going to be extremely evil, noone of us can control her right??? Must be Tel!
Ok, now I'm curious. Who do we know who was Altmer? Umm, there was this one fella in the beginning of To Heir is Human. Esethir or something? Or, hold on for just a second. Someone Rahvin knows very well. Hmm, somehow I think I have to scrap Voltar of the list (Not compatible in the mental department and probably a tad too old.). That leaves, Issac? Too young. Sadril, he's a Dunmer. Veric? Well, he is commonly known as the Breton but with his own shapeshifting he might just pull it off. I don't see any advantage there though. What race was Cerpin before the whole bodyswitching?
I've heard of the name Haldin, but I don't know what race they are. And yes, it would be Voltar, he wasn't even involved in this whole thing 20 years back.
Ack! Double post because of stupid internet problems! Grrr @ modem!
Haldin is Telina's son, and therefore is a Dunmer. I definitly doubt Bree ever knew him.
I nominate Metal Mallet, on account of his grissly dipiction of the story "Bloodlust." Of course, I'm not sure he has any experience writting about a female character....... But then, Amrita doesn't seem too femine
So what's Altec going to do since Issac isn't exactly backing down?
So Jonathan now has more than enough reason to hate the Empire...
will he go with Rann, you think?
Would be nice if Jonathan would go with Rann and such, would create a lot of conflict in the group in between
Before we make any loyalty changes though, the Altec/Issac situation needs to be resolved. Perhaps Altec simply decides to get out when he sees the whole gang moving?
Guys - before we make the three days fastforward, could Arco, Green-Root and Serene get into a small conversation and solve something out so that would make them stay together or whatever for those three days...?
would appreciate a reply to minky's post, dantrag, so we can keep the chorrol scene moving.
Right. I'll see if I can get a conversation started.
Ok, either Green-Root moves off on his own for the fast-forward, or he gets persuaded by Arco and Serene to stick around. The last option is unlikely, seeing Arco's (rightful) distrust.
And why is he saying all that? He simply doesn't care what they do but knows that they might be harbouring feelings of vengeance. Telling them where to go is easy and would not harm him in any way.
Her last (and first) post was when she walked into the Lokken tavern........ (back in the first playground).
so wait, telina's evil sister took amrita? and then tellie went after them?
Took, kidnapped same thing just different words. Yes, Salina took Amrita from the group at the end of To Heir Is Human I. Telina (and Fervus) have been searching for her ever since (that's a long time to hold a grudge.........)
i see... so hunting her down may be a little harder than i thought, though i looked and you were right her last post was in the tavern sadril is at now so i imagine she may be somewhere in chorrol.
she probably wont need to get involved soon, mallet. but eventually she will be needed.
Dropping of a note here. Minque, in the beginning of Playground 4, Serene had a mental communication with Arco. She said that she'd thrown everything away in order to swim, except her underwear. You might want to plunder what used to be the clothier. Catching a cold is a bad way to start saving the world.
Nah, he prefers scales. But that doesn't mean that now everyone should dress up in argonian leather!
hmm so it seems we need to decide where amrita is before we actually find her. any ideas? the last post made with her was in chorrol. and again, sorry, its late and i cant make a post in the playground at the moment.
night
Ok, so Ian is going to meet up with Serene and Arco. And they both learn about all that has been going on......... aside from what Green-Root has already told them. Which would include Satyana and Rann's health, and also Rann's name.......
Does anyone have an idea about what to do during the long ride to Leyawiin? If they're following the river, they're likely to run into the grounded pirates.
We were just playing to skip the trip and have them just end up there.
True, but Ian cheated with a teleportation spell. He's now trying to stir up a conversation with Arco and Serene. If we would skip time right now, the result would be two different time periods being rp'ed at the same time.
Unless they keep the conversation short and along the lines of.
,,What happened?"
,,Leyawiin got burned."
,,Well, don't go. There are some people I'm supposed to meet in a few days. We could use help and you two look capable." Or something along those lines. Ian is telepath like Serene, so maybe they'll stick around because of that reason.
True, I guess we'll see how that goes.
It also depends on when Fuzzy or Minque (I think she dictated control of her characters to Danny, but I haven't seen him yet) decide to get online and continue........
had to work from 3-11:30. not much time to get on here.
that teleportation thing does make it kinda hard, especially with minque not here... I'll take minor control over minque's characters (enough to keep them existing) but nothing so big as an in-depth conversation.
I guess we can just RP the trip up until Ian Serene and Arco get to a stopping point.
Ouch....... that had to hurt the sleep cycle. Ok, so the rest of the trip can skipped when the conversation is over.
we definately need to speed things up a little.
tell me what to do and i'd gladly help to speed this up
I just realized that if Ian just ignores Serene and Arco right now, and like walks past hem or something, we can still do this 3 day fast forward.
So which side of the river is the group on? Are they on the Blackwood side or what? But yeah, Ian could have ignored them, but he's already thrown his cloak at her....... At least he has something presentble under that!
I'm not so sure if I'm the one to talk as I'm guilty of this sin myself, but young Valor seems to be a bit overwhelmingly powerful. Sure, those two lions were easily beaten, but making a whole platoon of lifelike soldiers right afterwards? That sounds a bit too much to me. Unless he's now out of Magicka in which case I think it will be fine. Once again, this is just my opinion and you don't need to change a thing if you believe it is okay.
On another note, I wonder what happened to Hecate after escaping the Imperial prison.
lol, its an illusion, they are drawings made to be real... i guess i should add that to his profile.... im sorry i didnt meen for it to be overwhelming....
Kind of a random question...
Where is Dalrus?
My computer was broken for a while, we got it fixed so ill be back now. Im sorry I did not have a way to warn you guys, especially since so many things are happening now. But everything is fixed!
Dalrus is back!!! so is the sil
Great, the SIlhouete is back. Now he.... well, it can tell Karn what to do next. Because Karn has been spending the last few days walking toward that apparition....
have karn approach the sil
sounds good enough to me
yeah i could definitly see an altmer with yellow eyes.
Also do you want to have veric appear to dalrus as like an old mage who will teach her to be a master in Mysticism. She is a master of Destruction but not of mysticism and veric would almost try to slowly poison her to his cause
Karn shall approach the Sil now.
Just to make sure, is the Imperial City already being attacked?
Don't think so - Cloudy is in charge of the first attack on the Imperial City I believe..
Dang, too late to do much. I shouldn't have watched that movie. As for the attack, it is more of a sabotage thing. I'll post the preparations and continue tomorrow.
yeah the attack won't come for a while. Oh and shadowscales are assassins, you were right.
Shadow Scales are the royal assassins of their homeland of Argonia (Blackmarsh). They are closely tied to the Dark Brotherhood.
yup thats their definition.
Ok, so the wandering sage is currently in the Imperial City, and might get in Green-Root's way. But she alone probably can't stop fifty-one argonians from sinking the entire Imperial Navy. Karn is going to hunt down the good guys in Leyawiin.
So..... that leaves most of the characters in Leyawiin.....
yup, the imperial fleet is done one of the pirate ships is sunk, leaving quite a bit more but they have to get the fire ship out of the way. Most of the Characters are in Leyawiin, Karn will be soon. So I guess events will take place when Karn arrives and they all fight.
oh i meant like he met dalrus once a week at night and he came in a different form, type of thing. He could take the form of this famous mage from years ago who had dissappeared, he appears and dalrus recognizes him from a portait. He tutors her and slowly tries to get her on his side. He sees that she is a master of destruction and has a nearly never ending supply of energy and magic, so he wants to have her as a sidekick. That type of thing
Sorry guys, my intrenetz went out so i wasn't able to get on.
Hello guys, I'm currently at my cousin's house. But fortunately they have a computer I can use. I'll be back home on Monday.
Rann is stuck until veric replies...
So, the Bruma battle. What is the plan? Do you want the city to fall?
Fervus is likely to summon a Winged Twilight and fire a big load of explosions into the enemy. Of course, he can't stop a whole army by himself.
no the reavers will be driven back, and it will be kinda like a rush after them on horseback. So the battle will be won and that way they can move south and unite cyrodiil against the Sil. Yes of course Fervus cannot destroy an army himself because it would not be interesting at all it has to be a close battle.
Ok, so I suggest that you control your NPC army while Fervus lights up some fire. This is also a nice way to make Eurod rather suspicious/interested in his ally as Fervey's Magicka reserves are huge. (Well, that's one of the perks of being a really old Lich.)
yeah i replied, the battle started. For the most part Eurod wouldn't notice it as he is all over the place giving orders and fighting, but he will return and see him firing off blasts and it taking nearly nothing out of him.
*casts summon shogun spell*
**suddenly appears out of thin air and lands hard on a stone table** "What the heck are you trying to do? Oh, wait, you got your spells mixed up LOL!
Just wondering guys - when we're all of from Leyawiin... Should the group like split up, sending some to check what they can find in Valus Mountains whilst another goes to check on the Imperial City, as an attack is very predictable?
I dunno. I know that most people will probably want to stick around Sathyana and while I personally would enjoy the idea of splitting forces during the investigation, Flint promised to protect Sathyana. He can't protect her from the other side of the province. Unless of course he charges Issac with that job.
Flint is a fast traveler, he can check up on the Valus mountains and get back out in one piece without losing too much time. I don't think the Silhouette has any real defenses against a Tarhiel with safe landing and invisibility spells. So maybe Flint should go to the Valus and rendezvous with the rest in the Imperial city later?
I'm off to bed by the way. Feel free to control him when the decision is made and let him bring up this plan if needed.
Yeah - maybe you could find out something about his strategy and stuff maybe? At least find something interesting that we can work and investigate on, so we don't end up only fighting, although I have no problem with that really
