Discussion Thread



What’s this?

A player-run TES RP tavern where your characters can drop in for some fun. Celebrate a holiday, plan an adventure, or share a relaxing time with friends. The Wobbly Goblet is located in County Chorrol, and the year is… any year. Imagine a place where parallel worlds magically meet. We’ll use the Tamriel calendar and the real-world date. (So today is Second Seed 16th.) All are welcome! Grits and King Coin are your hosts, so contact us if you have questions.



Do I need to sign up or be invited?

Nope, just drop in. Post a character sheet here if you like, or link to another one you’ve used, or just give us a quick description of what your character looks like as they walk in the door. Link to a picture, if you have one. This is an informal meeting space, so we don’t need a whole lot of information.



So which thread should I use? What’s with all of the WGs?

The main thread can be found here: The Wobbly Goblet Playground. Feel free to introduce your character here in the discussion thread and jump right in to the Playground. The threads such as WG – Black Rock Caverns are adventures in progress, so you need to contact someone who’s posting there to possibly get involved. Sometimes players meet up in the Wobbly Goblet and decide to head out on various escapades together. When that happens they start a new thread.

Occasionally we host special events at the Goblet, like the Harvest’s End Festival. These events run for a certain period of time so that folks have an opportunity to join in. Watch this thread for announcements of upcoming occasions.



Code of Conduct:

1. Remember your forum rules. Keep it PG-13, be courteous, no spamming.

2. The tavern thread is for IN character posts. Please keep other discussion in this thread.

3. The Wobbly Goblet is a safe zone for all characters.

4. You only control your own characters. You should not give other player’s characters actions, lines, thoughts, or move them without the player’s explicit permission. Very small things like a nod, a grunt, or a word is usually fine, but if the player asks you to edit, then please do so. For example if you and another player go outside and brawl: ‘Thirsty Hair-Back picked up Myelfindil and slammed him to the ground’ =NO. Thirsty’s player just controlled the other player’s character. ‘Thirsty Hair-Back reached out to pick up the annoying elf, hoping to slam him to the ground’ =OK. Now Myelfindil’s player can decide what happens to him.

5. NPCs can be used, but posts should not be from their perspective. Your hosts Grits and King Coin will write for the NPCs when necessary.

6. Immediate emergencies should be avoided in the main thread. They can be fun, but they also can place other people in uncomfortable positions. They force people to either drop what they are doing, or else awkwardly find an excuse to not run to someone’s aid.



Roleplaying Guidelines:

1. Each thread is its own story or theme. New stories should have a different thread. Offshoot threads will be governed by the thread starter as they see fit. The Wobbly Goblet main thread doesn't have a story, but a theme. That theme is the inn itself. Posts in the main thread should be in, around, or traveling to or from the inn.

2. If you want to post, you need to keep your post consistent with the current state of the world. Read previous replies, or ask other players to tell you what is happening.

3. Posting in the roleplaying threads should be done with the purpose of interacting with other player’s characters. Not every post is required to interact with other player characters, but if your posts will never put you in a position to interact with other player characters, then please reconsider the content of your posts so that you can interact.

4. Disputes. We are going to assume that the rules here are being followed unless something looks very off. If your character is used by another player, we will assume they had permission. If this is not the case try talking to the poster. If you are unable to get a favorable response, then let us (Grits or King Coin) know.


Any comments? Questions? Post them here.

Haha, yes, anyone but Draken. But he's just one man. 99% of the world would sooner stake him. Kayla, well, might get a few problems for consorting with Meridia. But that's something different.

But you're right, fair is fair . . in a way. I don't think people would try to kill Kayla for wielding Dawnbreaker though. Now, Draken? If words gets out he'll be hunted down like an animal and have others attempting to assassinate him with prejudice!

Not to mention Lycus. smile.gif

Lycus is a good guy beneath all that bitterness. He'd save little girls and kittens and damsels in distress laugh.gif. He certainly wouldn't hold anything against Kayla.

His only issue is with . . . crazy leaders. laugh.gif

And Salyan is going to be very, very careful about who knows where she comes from...

And Uleni, she's playing Skrillex. Wubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwub...

Indeed. The world is dark and full of terrors; prejudice people fearful of the unknown.

I nearly finished Aelena's profile.

ALSO, I'm going to expand Kayla's last entry where she sees Ylenno. She'll have more inner dialogue and ask him a question, but that's it. She'll still fall over and be a nerd, lol

OK, Salyan's song is done (sort of). I promise that later parts won't be quite so attention grabby as that one was, but it was a performance, she's a performer and that's kind of what she does. I won't be so attention demanding in future, though, I swear. Honest guv'nor!

Your call, really. I got post-ninjaed by you a bit, but as it is it strikes me as perfectly possible for Aravi to have only listened to a bit, seeing as she's distracted by Abiene feeling unwell.

That was beautiful, Mustard! smile.gif

I won't be posting until the morning (sorry, too sleepy), so take your time if you want to add to yours, KC. I did a slow exit so that A & D wouldn't completely miss the show. I'll pick up with them on the stairs completely in awe of the performance. Salyan will have a big fan in Abiene once she's feeling better.

Yes she found out....that doesn't mean she's gonna yell it out loud! smile.gif

Sooooo, Ok also I think I owe you all an explanation about that "mind-reading"...it's really not as bad as it seems, it's certainly NOT some kind of rape! And actually it shouldn't create pain, not so much

She can't read your inner thoughts unless you let her! It's more like a scan of your body language, facial expression and then she might get a sense of what you are thinking at the moment.

Now if you guys find this awkward I'll edit my posts i.e I'll just delete them since she's not exactly interacting with anyone... kvleft.gif

It would be a shame to completely delete your posts. After all, the other characters have already reacted to what she did.

I do wonder how she determined that Draken is a vampire. Was he consciously thinking “I’m a vampire” while she scanned him? That part seems like a stretch and possibly a good place for an edit. Perhaps she just sensed that he's unusual, or simply couldn't read him?

Maybe you could explain it a little more so we (the other players) can give you a better idea how to interact with our folks. Is she an empath as well, or just a telepath? In other words can she be mentally fed false information or would she sense that the person is lying? It would be a lot more interesting if she made mistakes rather than having her know everything. Fodder for some quests, even. smile.gif

I would say she's an empath, since she felt the stress radiating off of Kayla.

I'm not bothered by it at all.

I suggest that instead of a series of deletes or edits, this mind probe that (almost) everyone felt could have originated from someone unknown at the festival and not Serene.

I like KC's idea. I don't feel like the probing was meant to be quite so invasive.

I like this idea; a good way to avoid a whole load of edits and deletions, and also gives us a potential plot-hook to play with, if we feel so inclined.

Serene Catraso-Velas is a mage and healer. She has healing powers and knows a fair amount of spells. She is also blessed by Azura, who visits her in her dreams and guuided her through the events in MW.

Now she found out that she also was able to sort of "know" what certain people was thinking, but only people she knew very well and who also could "know" what she was thinking.

Like Lizzy said she is an empath, she can easy feel when people feel bad or are outstressed, then she only wants to be of help.

At the moment she is worried about her missing daughter, she came from Skyrim to investigart this matter and also to find Seth, her husband, who apparently had made quite a few aquaintances at the Wobbly Goblet.

As she was sitting at the table, she felt alone and unwanted, thus she started to watch the ppl around the table, trying to figure out a bit about them, see if she could feel something (NOOO she wasn't trying to mentally rape anyone)

How she found out about the Vamp? Well if you're a fairly good mage or if you are somewhat susceptible you can "feel" the aura, you can feel the vampiric aura! Besides she have met some vamps during her life, she can actually sense it. That's no big deal, it's quite possible. Magnetic fields you know!

So is this sufficient or do you want to know more about her?

When I think "mind rape" I think of someone pushing their intent on another mentally, not reading a mind. That's being a peeping tom, really. I feel like Serene was reading what others were letting emanate from themselves already.
