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

[MacabreFox]

So... Are arrows dipped in oil, and then set ablaze, out of the question? Just trying to think of how I want Sevine and Leif in on this round, might just stick to the ramparts, but I'm also considering putting the two in battle, a bit torn on this decision as I'm trying to think of a useful strategy. I'm also thinking about improvising a slingshot like devise, much like a balloon launcher, so bigger than a slingshot per se, but that shoots projectiles that can be set aflame, not sure what these projectiles would be. But if these are all no-go's, I'd be more than happy to chuck them into the battle below. >=3

In other words, I think I might be over thinking the situation with the Kamals. (x help me out guys.

@MacabreFox

Aw, I thought Sevine would want to kill Kamal with her new kitty. XD

[Haeo]

@MacabreFox I'm thinking of having Utu on the walls too, this time around. His ambush trick won't work with this situation and when it did it only got one. He'll probably be using as much overdraw as he can to plant arrows into the enemy casters. They have the lightest armor. That arm length of his should come in handy sometimes.

It depends what our almighty creators say :3!!

@Haeo

I'll keep that in mind, in case the others approve (:. If not, into the fray they go!

Hey, if anyone is up for doing a collab I am on the etherpad

[ButtsnBalls]

Quick question on NPCs, do you mean ones that are GM created or are these player created? For instance, say you ask a city guard for help.

@Dervish

You can control one of the friendlies (EEC and DG guys) marked on the map. GM created NPCs are not controllable but you can still ask them for help.

As the outcome of various maneuvers and attacks will be determined by the roll of the dice, does that mean our characters could potentially be killed off? I do hope not...

@MiddleEarthRoze

Nah, as long as you're playing them, the characters won't be killed. Worst case scenario for PCs is being too injured to fight.

@MacabreFox

Flaming arrows are perfectly plausible, in fact, some archers are doing just that.

The slingshot can be done, though the limitation is size when transporting and deploying it to the walls. As for ammo, some dried branches tied together with fabric is enough to be flammable. However, the accuracy and area effect would mean collateral damage is a very real possibility. Alternatively, you could load up good ol' fashioned rocks and bricks. Alchemy bottles can be launched too, I'll let you decide what to fill the bottles with.

And one more thing, the company still have one leftover arcane charge. It's at the warehouse behind pier three.

@gcold Appreciated!

Now to decide how to go about doing this. Do'Karth isn't exactly made for this kind of fighting (whacky stick vs. impregnable armour, not good bed fellows), so I'm considering having him going around as something of a distraction/ time buyer to try and keep casualties from mounting and act as something of a roving reinforcement that moves in where he thinks he's needed, or delivering supplies to the frontline guys.

Either way, I'm all ears for some ideas or collaboration. This is gonna be a messy pile of shit before all is said and done. ;D

[MacabreFox]

@gcold Thank you so much!!! I'll work on a post, and have something up by tomorrow. >=) I can't wait to write about this unfolding chaos! Muwhahaha!

@MiddleEarthRoze Do you want to jump in on this evil plot of mine :3?

[Frizan]

I need to figure out what Specs is gonna do. He's not exactly built for fighting mountains, so I'unno.

@Frizan

How fast can he run on ice?

How fast can he run on ice?

@gcold

Considering that he hasn't really had much practice at that particular activity, probably not amazingly, but since he can keep his balance pretty well overall I'd say faster than most people.

@Frizan

Well, sounds like suicide bombing demolition should be right up his alley.

Sagax could take the arcane charge and bomb the Kamal ship.

@gcold

Sounds like a plan.

Sagax is a bit overdue for a horrible injury anyway, I think.

Don't lose faith in the almighty dice.

@Peik

Talos is great.

[MiddleEarthRoze]

@Frizan

Roze could potentially help in that, if you'd like. They're both light, fast rogues, and she has pretty good aim if it comes to throwing molotovs. XD

@MacabreFox

Oh, this one is very happy to take part in your evil plan.

@Dervish

Do'Karth could be a distraction while Niernen conjures up a serious firestorm from a reasonably safe distance.

Done deal. We can get started on that in a little while, I just feel like hell today so writing might be hard.
