[OOC] The Elder Scrolls: Swords & Septims

[Kassarock]

@Hekazu Okay mate you're good to go

@Hank Hope I didn't overstep by engaging 3 since Skall only took out 2. He just pushed the other one away, so its still out there.

[Hank]

No worries, @Kassarock. Sounds about right for Skall.

[Hekazu]

@Kassarock
Looks good to me! I'll be replying at my earliest convenience, likely tomorrow.

[Dervish]

As a head's up, I am on vacation starting Thursday and will be pretty much gonezo safe for maybe wifi.

Great posts, everbody! I love coming home and seeing some great character bits.

[spicykvnt]

Have an awesome vacation, wherever it is you're going. It's always so nice to get away from the day-to-day for a bit :)

And yessss, I love these posts we've had! I'll probably have mine up Thursday. I'll wait for you Hek :)

[Dervish]

@Stormflyx I'm headed to Florida! First vacation in 3 years, and just as long as the last time I've seen my family. It's been long overdue!

@Dervish

Hey, I'm going to Florida too! Next year though. Leave a surprise for me somewhere.

@Hekazu chose to attack the Big Boss and rolled a natural 6 out of 6, which means the Draugr is severely injured and incapable of attacking anyone next round.

Hector hasn't done anything yet, so I'll write a post for him after y'all are done. Might take a shot at the big one if nobody else does, but you still need to roll to attack. It'll be an easy one, but combat-focused characters get a positive modifier.

I can't promise it won't be a dead body, but it's totally going to be a dead body.

Love the post @Hekazu!

I'll put in a post next - I will be having an interaction with @Inkarnate too - so shout out for that if you have any of a post written :)

I also had a neat idea for after the battle that includes @Kassarock's beefy Nord that I will shoot a PM to you about :)

@Stormflyx

I was planning a post, but this will be much easier for me!

[mickilennial]

Guess I'm on the clock. Soon™.

Edit: Hopefully tonight.

[Hekazu]

@Inkarnate

Yay, progress!

[mickilennial]

Yay, progress!

@Hekazu

Yeah, I just have to sober up and get to work. Last few days has been a lapse, but I think I can get it sorted.

[Dervish]

I figure I should mention that I am back from Florida. I'm surprised there hasn't been much activity, I thought I would be playing catch up.

[Hank]

Been patiently waiting on @Inkarnate while I've been out living my own life, but if he doesn't post very soon I'll write a Hector post and we can start the next round of shenanigans.

As a show of respect, I should inform you (and the rest of the games I’m in/directing) what’s going on in my life. The roommate whom I’ve been living with for the last five or so years had a mental breakdown Sunday Morning that was the result of a psychotic break and alcoholic influence that led him to crash his truck, threaten a guest with a knife, strike with girlfriend, and blame his everyone for his issues. He’s in custody right now (police transferred him to a psych ward) so I have to deal with the fallout as I am the owner of the “shared” household. In short, I have to get eviction papers in order. I hope everyone understands my inconsistent activity revolving around that fact. This does not excuse lack of posting beforehand, but I will be trying to post as soon as possible regardless. It may not be one of my better posts as a result.

@Inkarnate

How on earth did you live with someone like that for 5 years?

[mickilennial]

How on earth did you live with someone like that for 5 years?

@Dervish

It’s a complicated answer. In short, this is my best friend who has been a functional (albeit anxiety-prone) guy who needs to get the mental health help he needs. He had no signs of aggressive or psychopathic behavior prior to this and I suspect a lot of this was brought on by a psychosis we didn’t know about in combination with being in a unhealthy relationship that triggered his dependence issues as well as his apparent problems with envy, paranoia, and jealousy. He’s a good guy, but he’s burned his last olive branch and now he needs to take long life lessons going forward. Unfortunately, what this means is I can no longer be his landlord/roommate. As a friend and homeowner I am in two dire straits—the friend and the landlord. Given his issues with depression and such I fear for his life and well-being. I feel like I’m stuck in a Kobayashi Maru.

@Inkarnate

I'm sorry to hear that, but I think you're going about it the right way. Your friend does need help and you can't let his behaviour drag you down with him, so hopefully this is the wake up call he needs, and maybe being in custody will put him in the way of a councilor. I had a friend who was incredibly self-destructive with his alcoholism and nothing myself or my friends did to help stuck, I realized it was something he had to do on his own and I couldn't deal with his behaviour past the point it got to. Best of luck, man.
