Shards of Broken Emperors/Planning Thread, Vvardenfell: Roots of Sve'lkreen Options

[minque]

Just you tell me where you land....and I (Serene) will greet you with warm....something

I'm going to analyse the last stage of our watertrip. Keep in mind that this is all my opinion and I'm not an expert sailor. So take a measured pinch of salt first before reading on.

Ok, the ship was headed towards Seyda Neen and is probably within sight of said village. So I say that we should probably avoid landing in sight of Seyda Neen or any other place. Seyda Neen will link us to the ship while other places will wonder where the ship we came from is. Pretending to be local fishermen doesn't work. We both don't look the part and in small villages like that people tend to know every single face. So basically, the less questions asked, the better.

Since we're taking what is essentially a small vessel meant to deliver a few guys to a nearby beach (or evacuate the big ship if it springs a leak), we don't have much range and we're limited to our own musclepower (rowing) to move it. That leaves us with two options.

1, go south around the small island below Seyda Neen, then either veer back north to land east of Seyda Neen or go straight and hit Ebonheart. Going north is a bit complicated, though we could take a break on the island south of Seyda Neen. Going to Ebon Heart leaves us being questioned again, possibly even more because we're hitting a major castle instead of the local pile of shacks and immigrant office of Seyda Neen. Also, Riden might object to Ebonheart as being too far away. (didn't he mention he was going to kill someone in Seyda Neen?)

2, go north and land just below the mountain range that separates Hla Oad and Seyda Neen. This leaves us out of sight of both villages, but it is a considerably longer haul to reach Balmora or any other major place.

I say 2. How about you guys, Dantrag and Zerk?

[DarkZerker]

Well I'm no sailor or have any experience in Naval battles but I've studied military tactics and guerrilla warfare for a good year now...so...

North is the best opportunity because of limited sight from both villages while we can see the villages if we get to a high ground point. This is what I get for spending two months analyzing key points in all the major 20th century battles...instead of having fun with my life -_-

I need your guys opinion, should I introduce the first son(the one I talked about in the posts)or just leave him as a one-scene character? Cause I am planning to put him in Morrowind, whether it be forever or just a scene or two.

[ureniashtram]

The one called Geovanni? I understand that Assassins can be deadly, but two? I don't know about that. So, I guess make it a scene or two, but how about we make his appearance more realistic?

Like, his first assassination? How about you guys, Dantrag and Jack?

[DarkZerker]

Of course, I probably won't do three characters cause it's annoying to manage all of them.

[jack cloudy]

Well, I agree that it's probably best to limit Giovanni's presence and keep him as a sporadically appearing pseudo-pc/npc instead.

As for how he appears, let's not have him be around at their landingsite. Serene already called that part and coincidence only goes so far. That said, we could meet him in the first major place we reach where he can either be used for his first assassination and some social time with mom and dad, or hit up for news and clues from the shadier sources on the island.

Edit: you might have him study under the Morag Tong. As long as he keeps his later activities outside their territory, they don't have a real problem with non-morag assassins if I remember correctly. Well, unless the non-morag is dark brotherhood.

I'll probably make it so that it's his first contract in a foreign province. Then a couple scenes, maybe one battle, before he goes back to Cyrodiil.

So are you landig in SN soon? Or shall I RP with myself in the town..while waiting for you?
