@gcold

My record break was on page two, lol.

Should I have been in Advanced all this time? Seems to be that the answer is "Yes".

@Frizan

Page two is pretty impressive for one on one's. As for group games, casual and free tend to have more "disposable" RPs. However, the longest RP I can find is a casual, with over 3000 pages.

The dedication of advanced players are unbeatable. Hail advanced master race!

@Tiberious Where were you for the last two years?

@gcold

I don't know, I once saw a one on one that was over 20 pages long, so I suppose -as with any RP- it depends on the participants. But, speaking of RP's, must admit that I had forgotten the fun if group RPs (I've been mainly sing one on one's for the last couple of years)

@gcold

@gcold Places man. Like, i've seen some shit. Haha

I went about 6 months without a compy, just my smartphone, and once I got a lappy I forgot about this place. Idk how I could forget such a magical place, but like I said, i've seen some shit. Messes with your mind.

@Tiberious

Well, ok then.

Drop a sheet if you think you can commit.

[Mortarion]

By the way @gcold would it be ok if I changed Tsleeixths lightning rune spell for a nice spike one? I think the latter one would be a tad more useful in an open battle and since my character hasn't been on e a big battle -yet- I was wondering if that's ok with you

@Mortarion

No. Considering there are a dozen angry guys charging in his direction, I'd say runes are equally as, if not more, useful.

@Haeo Done moving?

@MiddleEarthRoze Done AFK'ing?

@gcold

I suppose, also, do we know if you know, rune's can differentiate between targets. Say, Tsleeixth ´puts up a rune but random mercenary walks over it, wouldn't it be activated?

[Haeo]

@gcold, unfortunately not. We finally get the actual moving van tomorrow morning. Then we have less than two days to get everything loaded. Then comes an overnight ferry ride followed by a several hour road trip through a mountain pass. Oh, and my oldest child may have just gotten sick. And, after all that, there will probably be a period of intense adjustment since I will be living with my own family... in the basement of my in-laws home through the rest of the winter... before moving again.

Also, five person family... and I'm having to pack everything myself. My wife is at her limit just keeping the kids off me most of the time, a difficult and frustrating job. So, I have been packing from about nine in the morning until about two or three in the morning every day.

I am frustrated, but not with you. I'm aware that this explanation may come off that way but that is not intended. Nothing has gone well for this move. I do hope that I'll be able to be active again once this leg is done. I just can't promise anything. If something changes, for better or worse, I will let you know.

[Peik]

Would the House of Lords mind if I were to change my CS to add the chainmail Edith has given me?

[MacabreFox]

Before I write this next scene with Sevine, I just wanted to know how many Forsworn are near the ram or close to Sevine? Or if you have any suggestions on what Sevine should focus on instead? @gcold

I'm divided between having her keep with the ram, or if she should break off and help take out some foes.

@Mortarion

Try reading these sources if you want more info on runes. 1, 2, 3.

According to Skyrim, most followers and summons do not trigger friendly runes. However, you never had more than two to three people tagging along, so the rune has very little to discern between. A rune could be "coded with IFF", but that would take longer to gather soul signatures and imbue them into the rune. Alternatively, enchanted equipment could also act as IFF, provided they are pre-adjusted to the specific mage. In our case, the second is not relevant, the first could be done, since Tsleeixth is reasonably skilled and if he could be protected while casting. The simplest thing to do would be just placing the rune right before the enemy steps into it, just make sure allies clear the blast zone beforehand.

All that's well and good in theory, but in a chaotic battle, Tsleeixth needs to think fast. If it means killing a couple of charging Forsworns, lesser collateral damage would be acceptable, provided he has the time to think about the outcomes. More likely than not, Tsleeixth would just be falling back to his sword or safer spells.

@Haeo

Sounds rough. My best wishes are with you and your family. Stay safe and stay warm, give me a shout when you're ready to post again.

All yours.

@MacabreFox

Probably both, at one point or another. Some Forsworns would be screened by other mercs, but a couple are bound to slip through; Sevine needs to defend herself and the ram when that happens.

@gcold

Thanks! That helped a lot. I'll get right on my next post then. Should be up soon.

Post is up! I've suffered a singed ear before, but not from a torch fire, rather from my hair straightener xD. And when the wind, or the water hits it, man... that shit just hurts.

@gcold

Sorry about my absence - past couple of weeks have been crazy ass revision and mock-exams.
I'm probably not going to be able to post anything till the weekend when college breaks up. But if you guys want to, you can NPC Roze until then, if you want her to get involved. There's not a lot to write... just shooting arrows and stuff I guess.

Give her an arrow in the shoulder or something as penance for my absence, haha. XD
