Their alloy is actually somewhere between adamantium and stalhrim.

If I may, I just want to point out that the physical stamina weakness might be a concern to some degree, since if I was reading right, the company marched from the Reach to Eastmarch. I don't know how many carriages would be going with them save as baggage trains (if any).

It would be an interesting challenge to overcome to be sure, but I just thought I'd mention it in case it leads to unintentional consequences for Hank's character, like the bosses deciding she isn't worth the effort if she can't keep up.

@Dervish

They rode troop convoys from the Reach to Whiterun, and hitched rides with couriers and traders to Windhelm. This wasn't much of problem since only around 20 mercs were fit to continue.

For physical weakness, there's still room for interpretation. I'll assume "cannot throw something larger than a pebble" is somewhat exaggerated.

I changed the Telvanni masters to Redoran war-wizards, as you suggested. I didn't know these existed. It does make more sense this way. I also removed Dwemer from her miscellaneous skills and added the Dunmeri language instead, which also makes more sense, especially for a traditional House like Redoran.

The dried meat could be for Garm, though I like to think of Nix-hounds as scavengers who will eat almost anything. Like much of Morrowind's wildlife, they're not directly related to any real-world animals as far as I can tell. They have pincers for a mouth. I think he feeds himself.

@Hank

Yeah, there aren't too many canon appearances for Redoran mages. But since they value combat skills, things like destruction, restoration and conjuration without raising scared dead are presumably good assets.

Sheet's looking swell. You just need @Leidenschaft's nod for final acceptance.

@Hank Ok, much more workable this time around. With that said, you still have adjustments on your plate.

Hyperdrive is also building a Redoran character, and I'm gonna say the same thing I said to him. Your character cannot be affiliated with both Redoran and Telvanni, much less under the tutelage of Neloth. An alternative would be studying war magic in-house, with the rare, but present Redoran war-wizards. Being acquainted with two great houses is one too many connections for an average Jane.

There wasn't any mention on Dwarven studies, which doesn't make sense for her to read their script. Plus, it is highly archaic and useless to learn, the equivalent of mastering Cuneiforms or Oracles Bones. Daedric is fine, on the other hand, though reading it probably means she's proficient in the Dunmeri language as well.

Lack of pet treats in inventory; how is Niernen feeding Garm?

I have Crohns disease and it decided that after taking a few years off of making my life a living hell it wanted to put me back in hospital. Basically, my guts have a crazy amount of infection going on and abscesses out the wazoo that's led to complications that will mean me going in for surgery in 2-3 months to have parts of my intestine removed before it spreads and destroys the healthy tissues. I feel pretty good right now, so the treatments seem to be holding (I'm even typing this not hooked up to an IV! How magical is that?), and I hope to be discharged over the next few days. I miss my dog, I gotta say.

But yeah, long story short, guts started hurting a lot, I lost 30 pounds in 2 months, I couldn't really eat, and work was murdering me with a shift that effectively made me work 60 out of 70 days. It decidedly sucked.

@Dervish

Can't say I know what it feels like, but I'm with you. You can probably ask your boss for more paid sick days. I know someone having Crohn's and she got a three-month paid leave.

Not sure which hospital you're staying, but some let do let pets in. There's a new trend with animal therapies, might be worth looking into.

Anyways, stay tough, we're behind ya.

@Leidenschaft Put me in the PM list if you haven't started. Need to keep my little minions under watchful eye.

Utu-ja's secret plan

@Haeo

It's possible, but only for a short duration. That would happen as a short collab between you and I, something around hours, IC time.

Can I just point out that this RP started 3 months ago, and we already have 92 IC posts? I don't think I've ever made it past 40-50! This RP is like a heavenly playground full of writing adventure for me (: I've never been in any RP where the players are as dedicated to the RP as this one, could just be the fact that its Skyrim-related, and there's a deep thirst for it, but truly, this RP fucking rocks my socks. I love you guys. All of you.

@MacabreFox

Thank you, thank you.

It's odd, I can load webpages and post without issue, but do anything that involves streaming data, it slows down to Lenny from Of Mice and Men levels.

As for arrows, I always thought any city worth it's salt should have a shitload of ballistas. Nothing sends quite an elegant "up yours" as getting impaled by a 2 meter long shaft of hardwood and hatred.

@Dervish

Hmm, they probably don't want you to torrent the entire Library of Congress on their broadband.

I imagine they do, but I also imagine Skyrim's siege weapons are underdeveloped (at least compared to Cyrodiil), for several reasons:

-Skyrim has less walled cities than Cyrodiil
-The old mentality of "shouting down walls" put catapults on the backburner of Nordic generals
-Skyrim used to rely on the legion for defence, so local "military industry" might be dependent on Imperial City aid
-Mountainous terrains, narrow roadways and heavy snowfall during winter make transporting these things very difficult

@MiddleEarthRoze PM

I'd volunteer for a collab, but I am like 90% sure the hospital wifi isn't fast enough to make using a pad feasible. I can't even sign on Steam or Skype.

@Dervish

I know right? Is like they don't want you to look up treatments beforehand or something...

@gcold

... Utu needs better arrows... lots of better arrows.

@Haeo

_{maybe flaming ones?}
