[OOC] The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

[Haeo]

And... the kids have been screaming and... anyway. Now I have the start of a migraine. I normally would have been able to put several paragraphs of description in front of that intro but I just can't see anything clearly enough... Maybe I'll try and add more atmosphere later, nothing that anyone else would need to respond to but just to bring it back up to where I wanted it to be. I just need to cook dinner without burning the house down now. Wish me luck.

[Leidenschaft]

Well, Peik, Shetland, Oak7ree, I'm available tomorrow for a collab on the night-raid.

[ButtsnBalls]

Looks like we have our scouts; Keegan, Jorwen and Utu. Us 3 are moving out in 30 minutes IC time, along with Daelin and 3 NPCs. Your character can still put their hand up for story purposes, though they won't be selected.

The rest will attack in 4 hours IC time. 4 of you will be part of the flanking group. You 4, Edith, and 8 NPCs will wade the creek, sneak through the bushes and infiltrate via mining tunnel. Everyone else (other than the scouts and flankers), will be part of a 30 man frontal assault, led by Dumhuvud. You guys will ford the creek, run up the central path and boot in their main gate.

The flankers will be selected by Edith and Ashav in the IC, but we'll try to arrange it in OOC.

@gcold

I think we're going to have to do it on the G doc to keep this fluid. Otherwise, it'll look like a disjointed mess.

[HHShetland]

Well, shit, I made 3 NPCs. Figure the more's the merrier for a group sent to keep watch on the road. It was Sadri, Tennant and Felix there too...

@Leidenschaft

Actually, it was Lucex, not Felix, if I recall. I'll go ahead and presume that the PCs were all busy keeping watch or keeping to themselves, or some combination thereof.

By the way, if I'm totally honest, I was a little confused by your opening post; apparently some scrape happened, but I couldn't see where it was. I had a feeling it was in the middle of the paragraph before the time skip, but if it was, there wasn't much in the way of announcing it to me.

Also, there didn't seem to be any acknowledgement of the PCs that were (apparently) with Jorwen out there, which struck me as odd... that is, presuming they weren't, as I implied, keeping watch in another group that was sort of loosely connected to Jorwen's. Just a suggestion.

@HHShetland

The PCs are the "others" that Jorwen mentioned in the intro that are sitting and waiting back at their fire. I had to heavily edit my original to accomodate the other PCs when it was said they were with Jorwen on his patrol. The night-raid on the Reachmen watching the road happens within the time-skip as well. I was originally going to leave it out, but with the introduction of the other PCs, I decided to get you guys together on the Pad and have some banter and set up the night-raid.

@gcold@DeprivedOfWords

Did you make those edits to your character? If so, Gcold and I will have a look over it.

[Peik]

So, collab time?

@Leidenschaft

Oh, I see. That certainly sounds like a good tool to whip me into shape get things moving.

@HHShetland

I'll be leaving myself on the Pad for the day in hopes of you guys coming on there so we can get the night-raid and an intro post for all of us out of the way. Four birds smashed to a bloody pulp with one rock.

@HHShetland@Peik@ClocktowerEchos

[MacabreFox]

I'll have an introductory post up very soon, by the end of the night or sometime tomorrow.

[HHShetland]

That's one intro post. I tried something different this time; I went light on the character introspection and tried to let actions speak for themselves, as they say. If I royally screwed up did not use this technique effectively, please tell me.

[ButtsnBalls]

More information.

-Only Jorwen, Lucex, Sadri and Tennant were patrolling the road. However, the rest of you could still go out to hunt, scavenge or urinate in the creek. Feel free to go alone (dangerous but no one's holding you back), with your own NPCs or form parties with other players. Inside the camp, you could be on duty for guard watch, tending various supplies or just chilling around.

-Patrols mostly happen during day time, and late night watch on the road are uncommon. The first patrol would start just before dawn and the last would come back after sunset. There can be anywhere from 3 to 7 total daily patrols. Each rotation is a party of 6-10.

-So far; Jonimir, Sadri, Tennant and Lucex wanted to flank. These 4 would be the final group if no one else is interested.

-Talk to me if you want to collab with NPC commanders. Feel free to take control of them for some quick back-and-forth.

I'll be adding some of these to my IC post.

And I have not received any updates from Mortarion, Vhagar and DeprivedOfWords. You guys need to tell me what's happening with your sheets.

[Mortarion]

@gcoldBeen working on my sheet, sorry for the lack of updates it's been my fault since I have been rather distracted the past couple of days but I am making good advances in finishing my sheet.

[MacabreFox]

Posted. Hope that is acceptable ^.^'

[ButtsnBalls]

Posted. Hope that is acceptable ^.^'

@MacabreFox

Awesome. Just one thing, the main attack starts 4 hours after. Only the scouts are mobilizing within 30 minutes.

Also, Sevine can do some short conversations with Edith. No need for permission unless it's extended dialog.

@gcold

Sorry I misread that, I'll get it fixed.

And I'll add in some small chit chat between the two (:

Edited.

[Peik]

Well, here's my intro to our patrol.

[Leidenschaft]

Here's to a long and prosperous journey filled with Sadri and Jorwen griping about puffed up young'ns over a flask of whiskey.

Also, we've got a collab in the works for the night-raid and planning beforehand. I was hoping for some dialogue and conversations but Clock seemed to want to jump right in the blood, the absolute madman.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@LeidenschaftSorry >_> I'll redo that part on the pad later once I find some free time

*hides away in the corner*

FORGIVE ME SCHAFT

[OneEyedChurro]

Fallout 4.

Anyways, I should have my post up either tonight or tomorrow. Looks like the other squads are all filled up, but I pegged Orakh for a frontline kinda' Orc anyway.
