[OOC] Elder Scrolls: Terror of the Padomaic

Yeah, and even those who did have armor thick enough to not worry about deflection worry about other things, like mobility. Plate armor as some may think of wasn't suppose to be heavy and hard to move in; this is a very bad idea if you're expecting people to fight in it. While you're not exactly going to be an acrobat, you can still be nimble if you're use to what you're wearing. People in the type of heavy armor that allows for little mobility tend to face issues like what happens when they fall, or get stuck in mud. Suddenly all that armor just makes you a sitting duck. Just long enough for some peasant with a spear to take a few pokes at your eye sockets.

Weird double post.

Really, you shouldn't be getting hit too often in mortal combat with edged and blunt weapons. Generally, getting struck with a hammer in your side or on your arm is enough for the opponent to clear the space between you and put that thing over your head. That whole conversation is almost null, because, as we've noted, deflecting blows and dodging hits is the only way to actually win a fight. Unless you're in a fist fight, that can go either way really.

If you're wearing full plate armor, taking hits from blades is a legitimate option, since no sword can cut through steel. Only thrusting attacks to joints are viable. Of course, any competent swordsman is not even going to attempt a cut on armor, since it is useless.

[Lucius Cypher]

I find that stabbing people in the face is typically a viable option in these cases. Predictable, yes, and some people actually wear full helmets, but a lot of people tend to care about not getting hit in the face. People can get tripped up because they get too focused about protecting their face. With good reason, people's heads are sensitive objects.

I think you are overestimating how much skooma would be in these ships. It is very valuable per bottle, which also means you are not going to find many bottles in one place. A large shipment would be several crates worth, but not all the crates in the ship. The skooma, combined with the more legitimate cargo, would still provide a large margin of profit, since they just stole it all.Also, I think I am going to wait a bit to see if reganza posts. Plus, I'm rather tired.

I'll get a post up soon.

[EliteCommander]

I do want to let you post, reganza, but I will need to move on soon.

Sorry i've been tried i'll get on it now.

[EliteCommander]

I need to go somewhere, I'll post when I get back.

[EliteCommander]

I would like to let reganza post, but I will soon if he cannot.

I just realized I did not do this. My semester has started up and I got a bit distracted, my bad. I'll be sure to post soon.

[The New Yorker]

We aren't just waiting for me, are we?

[Lucius Cypher]

I'm waiting for Legion. Also I got college, so I'm not frequenting here as much as usual.

[EliteCommander]

I'm pretty much waiting for anyone at this point.

[The New Yorker]

I'd post but I feel like that might be jumping ahead. I'll feel like "that guy". Though I'm concerned I might actually be him already.

For example, I'd love to see a post from Leon.

Got some problems on my end. My injury hasn't healed properly. Which means they had to break it 'again' (I am not making this up!) and now it's set in a cast. Combine that with a laptop that's temperamental, and I think I may have to admit defeat here.

This means I'm withdrawing. Apologies, folks.

[The New Yorker]

I'd like to have something up within the next few days.

[The New Yorker]

Alright, so my laptops monitor came to a squishy end last night. I'm going to see about getting it fixed but I won't be able to post until Tuesday, at least. Sorry for any inconveniences this causes.

[Hailfire]

Glad to see this is still going ableit a little slowlyf. It's been too long for it to really make sense taking my character back up though. Besides which I kinda promised myself I was only coming back for DoD to keep my schedule as free as possible.

[EliteCommander]

This has been moving slowly (or not at all), the past week, but I suppose everyone has their own reasons. I have been just waiting on responses.
