Holiday games... : V - Skyrim

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 7:41 am

Yes...basically same rules. I'll get the route out tomorrow afternoon probably. .. working today. I think, not town to town exactly though... more a point to point race. Though I'll make sure mid race their is one or two towns one can "sleep" over at. (Or buy potions)

I would like the route to be more racers choice... but with specific check points.

Edit: Errr horses optional? .... cross country? I can make it more a road race, but I thought cross country would be more fun....challenging. .

Oh....Yes yes...I want to chase Sah....on foot, across tundra, snowey wastes and craggy bluffs. I want to give her a race she won't forget. Maybe this time.....just maybe....Sah will be chasing me.

I want the thrill of DiD.....the challenge of Legendary wilderness survival....the chase of the hunter and hunted and the Company of the most beautiful woman on Earth.....

Is that too much to ask?

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 5:32 pm

Ahhh.. no not to much... We can do a horses optional and list both times... it's for fun... I'll work on it.

Edit:... blasted phone...lol

I checked in on my Nekkid Sleigh Ride contender and found her in Solstheim up to her ears in quests. Oops! Good thing I have no shortage of Nords who are up for the challenge. My Plan B wants to do it under the continuous influence of Nord mead. I have no idea how much that will take. I guess we'll see!

Hot cider for everyone! (It's cold and dreary today in Grits world.)

Yes please Grits

Ulda is very keen to do this. She's a bit more expensive to keep fuelled up though. Plenty of fine wine, expensive cigars from Cyrodiil and for some reason, Caviar :sick:

I would like to say her habits are almost festive.....but that's not true I'm afraid. She is a very high maintenance kind of lady. On a recent trip to Radiant Raiment (whole pub crawl journey details to follow in the DiD thread :blink:

) She set me back about 12000 Septims there alone. Oh, but she is so worth it :yes:

That's right darling.....well worth it Just make sure you don't forget that sweetie, or you'll be needing another new tee shirt :stare:

Oh boy, not sure I could go through that again :blush:

Ummmmm.....for the interested......Ulda and I Had a truly lovely week away after the competition ended and the FULL written account is provided in the regular Dead is Dead thread at post #177
It was very sweet :yes:

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 3:07 am

Bram! Hey matey...great. My fellow 'enthusiast'

Good to see you made it :yes:

Ok..here is my proposed routes for the "Nekkid Nord Sleigh run" ( if everyone is agreeable, I will put it on the 1st post)

Stendar's Beacon .... ...Alchemists Shack ........... Deadmans Drink .......... Gjukar's Monument ......

Old Hroldan ...........Markarth ............Orphans Tear ............... Solitude Light house .......

Wreck of the BrineHammer ...... Dawnstar ......... Frostflow Light house ........ Weynon Stones .......

Nightgate Inn ........ Whiterun ending at Refugee's rest.

By Popular request... you can run the race two ways

1) On horseback

2) On foot

( or do both if you really want to )

Rules

* same as the Nekkid Nord Challenge...

- un-improved Iron weapon only ( low lvl spells only, ie novice)

- Santa hat and boots ( what ever you are using for a santa hat.... Boots can be armored IF they came that way ( but no higher than base Elven)

- Cloth may be worn * cough* santa suit....with no armor rating

- Vanilla speed on horses...and people

- you may take one follower with you

- time is from point to point.. you may camp, wait, cook dinner... or spend the night in town, you time begins again when you leave the town.

- you are close enough if you can hit the a part of the "woodwork" so to speak, with a 2h sword...

- Difficulty is up to you

- start at 6 am Skyrim time.

- last day to enter time...Dec 31st or when everyone who has said they are going to participate has put in their time... please PM me your time, when everyone has done so, I will post them all.

********* For those who would like to participate, but DiD is not your style, you may as long as you put that in your character intro. The idea here is speed... and having fun.

For those who are participating, please let me know and I will add ** Sleigh run ** to your introduction.

It is a very rambling course and kinda long course... but you don't have to run it all in one RL day if you don't have the time to do so... I would just stop and save at a way point. Practice run's are fine... as it IS a long course and a lot of it is cross country.

Thanks hon. I presume a rule is also....no galloping or sprinting? (except just long enough to outrun a danger)

Otherwise we will be stocking up with 400 stamina potions before the race.

......OR maybe it IS ok to sprint constantly?
Better start hoarding potions just in case.......

Well you might be darling, but I'm thinking bottles of a nice Chianti and maybe a case of something with a bit more kick

Ulda, you really are just a posh party animal aren't you?
Isn't there anything you consume that's not worth serious money

Well of course darling......you

Yep...ok....I guess I asked for that. Sheesh!

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 10:05 am

lol... well as speed is generally the point of a race ( mostly ) sprinting is allowed. err and wouldn't venison or veggie soup be a better idea than spamming stamina potions? I mean 1 point per second for 720 seconds... and they stack. I could be wrong, cause when I need to get somewhere quick, I generally ride a horse.

and as it's in the vanilla game... I have no problem with it. ...If I put a rule against that, I would probably have to say "no whirlwind sprint" either... and while I don't think that is in the spirit of the game, I won't dis-allow it, cause it may be needed to get away in an emergency.

Ooooooh nooooo.........this is starting to look like its metagame heaven.
Sah is gonna eat me alive isn't she......again :blink:

Oh well, c'est la vie

Sah honey......how'd ya like ya Rick.....fried or boiled.. :cold:

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:13 pm

Weeeeell... see now IF someone hadn't said that he wanted to chase a certain someone else on foot...... :shakehead: .... :ooo:

I think a lot of potions & food will be used on foot... on Legendary... with low lvl spells and iron weapons. Kaylea will be riding her horse, that way she can simply ride past most of the things that would like to have her for Christmas dinner.

This is a really cool idea, I might give it a go over the holidays!

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 5:39 am

Hee hee.....yes Areial, I know, but you can't blame me

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 11:34 am

You are more than welcome! Grab a mug & plate find a nice place by the fire...we try not to sing too off key.

Hey.... I hear ya... sometimes we hate to see one go, but we sure as heck love to watch them leave. :evil:

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 11:30 am

Awesome thank you

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 2:04 pm

Cross purposes there hon. Ooops.

I was responding on your post 38 line.... "Weeeeell........."

No worries

» Thu Dec 03, 2015 2:36 pm

... lol... it's an expression.... meaning... I wish you'd stay... but I love to watch that awesome butt walk away.... If your chasing someone.. your watching their ???? walk away? in skimpy cloths? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNVguvNE7qc
