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

Okay, so I did it.

-Most emotional tear jerker

This goes to @Leidenschaft. By this point in the game, while I had experience a vast array of emotions, the one that moved me to tears was when Solveig had to choose between life and death, and the struggles of her choice afterwards.

-Best action sequence
Ditto on the Sagax and Roze suicide run. Nuff said.

But quite literally, this one goes to @MiddleEarthRoze and @Frizan, not only was this a heart-gripping scene, as the scope of their plan unfolded, and both characters suffered grievous wounds for their courage and bravery, it was also one of the best action scenes in the game. I hadn’t read anything so daring before!

-Finest dialogue
Again, this goes to @Leidenschaft, for both of his phenomenal characters, Jorwen and Solveig.

In the relationship of father and daughter, Schafty-kins shows us time and time again, a realistic relationship. One that is evident as his ability to play the role of a father through Jorwen, and his ability to create a dynamic between Solveig and Jorwen.

From the beginning of FoC, Schaft showed us Jorwen’s traits as a father during the rescue of the Forsworn children, and even throughout the rest of the game. Again and again, I’m always amazed to read how much skill, even though it might not be many words, that Schaft has been able to give realistic depth to Jorwen. Though this isn’t limited to just Jorwen, but through the relationship with Halla, and Solveig.

Even in Solveig, after she meets Sevine for the first time, and listening to how Sevine described her father in a light she didn’t know, their reunion downstairs is emotional. And the same night when Jorwen comes home to Halla, and chastises her like a little girl.

-Most unexpected twist

This one goes to @Dervish. So after the rescue at the College of Winterhold (to be fair, it wasn’t much a rescue, lol dumb mages), The Courtesan begins taking on water, so everyone is placed in a precarious position, choose the rowboat or stay behind on the sinking ship. When they reach shore, they’re faced with Armigers. Really guys? It’s not enough that we just went through the shit show of the rescue mission, the boat overturning and drowning the mages, so now we have Dunmer’s trying to slaughter us as soon as we step foot on the beach.

But wait! There’s more.

So not only do we have the Armigers, but then assassins show up. And wait, what’s this? Rhasha-Dar’s sister is apart of them?

But wait! There’s more. when is there not?

So now we’re stuck without a ship, and now we have to get our asses back to Dawnstar. And on the journey, guess what happens? A giant fuck-off of a snowstorm.

BUT WAIT. THERE’S MORE.

When Do’Karth smells a cave for us to take refuge in, there’s bloody fricking chaurus and falmer waiting to devour us!

Lol.

Okay, but in all seriousness, Dervs’ post of the trek through the snowstorm, was quite unexpected. I was expecting a moment of peace, but to be honest, I don’t like lulls in action ;) so despite the scenario, this was the biggest unexpected twist, as our group just went through a very stressful situation, and then they had to take on a blizzard, and falmer/chaurus when they reached the cave.

-Funniest comedic moment

Personally, one of the best pieces I got the chance to write, was when Sevine learned that it was Sagax and Roze who had done the suicide run on the Kamal ships, not only did I get a few laughs out of it myself, but it was an enjoyable scene to write, as I got to write a side of Sevine acting as den mother. But I won’t vote for myself! Because that’s weird af yo.

So this one goes to, The time Ashav was caught with his pants down, and Marcel came to the resuce I’ve read some pretty funny posts in the game, but the fact that @gcold and @Peik went past the boundaries of typical writing, and delved into the realm of realism through comedy was entertaining to read!

Who doesn’t love reading about poop?

-Dankest meme

So this is a hard one. As such, I can’t pick any one meme, so instead, I’m going to pick a handful. @Gcold @Leidenschaft @Peik @Dervish, you bloody bastards. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard on any forum, or from being apart of any single rp. Whether it’s the subtle hints in your writing or quite literally the memes in the OOC, I can always get a good laugh from your memes. Keep’em coming!
To be fair, I would pick everyone else as well, just because of the fact that you all have thrown up some pretty funny shit on the OOC.

This was a tough one!

@gcold When is the deadline for the voting? I've only chosen to people so far. @.@' shame on me.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Crimson Skies

omg guys look im back

@BurningCold

Welcome back! :DD

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Crimson Skies

@RokkuHoshi So what were those reasons? I know I might not have any authority in this, but if you plan on keeping things secret from the rest of us, you ought to disclose the rest of that information that you left out to both @MiddleEarthRoze and @Leos Klien.

Our GMs simply ask us to meet their requirements, which means adhering to the requests they ask of us.

Your CS is a test, a test to your writing ability, and your dedication to this game. If you're dedicated, and truly want to play in this game, then you'll comply with what MiddleEarthRoze and LeosKlien ask of you.

Not trying to jump down your throat, but I've kept an eye on your CS for Jan-Hei, and Roze has asked you quite a few times to fix/expand on areas. Fair is fair is fair.

The Jolly Roughers ~ Dervish & MacabreFox

Her face colored brilliantly at the words of Ingrid being able to smell their lovemaking. The fact that Shay didn’t recall what had been said, or at least, supposedly said, brought around some relief. She wouldn’t say a word, not until Sam and her went to discover the situation. For the rest of the car ride over to Bingley Park, a park used often during the winter as the pond was shallow, and froze easily when the temperature dropped; Vera made small talk with Shay, her mind occupied elsewhere. It wasn’t until they stood in line with other patrons waiting to purchase a pair of skates for the evening that she slid closer to Shay, finally drawing her thoughts to the present.

It was here that she wished she had opted for a pair of woolen tights instead of her nylon stockings. Regardless, her cloche, scarf and gloves kept away the chill, along with the help of her pea coat. As the line moved forward, Vera slipped an arm around Shay’s elbow, clinging to him to share in his warmth. She glanced up at him, and smiled with warmth. Simply being in his company enraptured her. Her thoughts drifted back to when Tommy had called her into his office, the day she was released from Holloway, and informed her that she would be working with Shay on this mission. She thought of how they had faked, with a degree of ease, their relationship in Hobbs & Pollard, and even in Lady Evelyn’s Stitchery, not to mention their fantastic team work at The White Star. When the clerk behind the booth motioned for them, they stepped forward in unison, “Skates for two, please.” She chirped.

“What size are your shoes, miss? And for you sir?”

“A size 6 for me, if you have them.” She replied, watching as the clerk turned his back to them to retrieve her shoes. He placed them on the counter, and waited for Shay to answer. When he had, he fetched his own skates.

“That’ll be two shillings.” He prompted. With that, Vera grinned wolfishly at Shay as she slid a florin to the clerk. She had to return the favor, or so she felt, for whatever reason, to make up for her bad behaviour from the days prior.

With skates in hand, Shay and Vera made their way to a bench, where they sat down beside one another to lace up their skates. She pulled off her heels, and slid into the skates. When she finished lacing them up, she looked to Shay, where a ghost of a smile touched her lips. “Whenever you’re ready.”

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

Kyne’s Tear

Being onboard a ship always boosted Leif’s morale. To him, being surrounded by the open waters, with a wooden deck beneath his feet, gave him power. Power in the sense that he had spent nearly eight years sailing, it was like second nature to him. Not to mention the breeze coming in off the sea felt marvelous on the seared portions of his face. He made an effort to check on Elmera every once in awhile, and took it upon himself to heal the burns himself. For the most part, Leif continued to avoid Do’Karth, although some of his hatred towards the Khajiit had dwindled, mainly because he made an effort to forget. His heart still ached for Sevine, however, the rejection there would not subside. At least not yet.

In the meantime, Leif spent his time helping out with ship duties. It was such, that when he had a moment of freedom, he wandered over to inspect the massive ballistas. Overall, Leif was impressed at the sheer size of what looked like to him, a giant firing crossbow. Needless to say, after he gave them a once over, he stuck to volunteering around the ship. On occasion, he crossed paths with Do’Karth, but he didn’t pay him much attention. He had more important things to do than to squabble with a cat. Most of his thoughts now, were focused on the present task at hand, surviving and returning to Dawnstar, and finding comfort in the arms of some maid. He spotted Solveig and Sadri sitting beside one another, and while he witnessed her throwing her arms about him, he felt a sense of esteem towards the two of them. Even though Solveig had chosen a knife-ear, she was a fierce warrior, and a respectable Nord woman, just like Sevine. The esteem came from the fact that he hadn’t loved her like he had Sevine, and the fact that she hadn’t stomped on his heart. It was by this time that the winds of change had arrived.

The distinctive sound of the war horn blowing caused him to scan the horizon. While he couldn’t immediately see any sign of danger, he soon discovered that the sailor in the crow’s nest had sighted a Kamal frigate. As if on cue, the plated ship emerged on scene from the port-stern. His heart plummeted into the pit of his stomach. How in the world did the Kamal’s find them so soon? He cursed under his breath, and jumped into action. Ducking below deck, he fetched his leather armor, helm, and longsword, where he strapped it to his back. When he re-emerged, the frigate had closed the gap between the Tear and themselves. Hargjorn barked orders, trying to prepare those onboard for imminent contact with their enemies.

While there were those on deck making ready for battle, Leif joined the sailors in their work to pull the two ships together. He heaved with great effort alongside the men, muscles straining, and sweat running in rivulets from the strain. When the Tear sidled along next to the frigate, close enough for those attempting to board, Leif moved between preparing the bolts by lathering them up with oil, and bringing more fire salts to those launching them at the frigate. For the time being, this is all that kept him occupied. Should the Kamal try to board the Tear, Leif would dive into action, and see to it that they might a fiery end.
