Valton: The New Hold, OOC & Sign-Up Thread IX

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 1:06 am

If it seems like Leandra dispatched of the clannfear a bit casually, do keep in mind she's a pro when it comes to Daedra and even in Morrowind, I seem to recall them being just a step up from scamps (if a bit tougher than the wimps from OB). So don't think she can Dwemer-fu away a Dremora Lord with ease or something.
Well, in oblivion they could pretty much rip you in two in a matter of seconds. Anyhoo, let's assume it was a weak clannfear and it was confused and of course, that Leandra is a pro.
Note: Deadroth is a daedra... From oblivion.. That looks like this: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/17166/966040-_tes4daedroth_super.jpg a clannfear looks like this: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/17166/965700-oblivionclannfear_1.jpg

It might be a bit confusing to read your post where you mention both for some reason.

I thought Daedroth was the singular of Daedra? Or the other way around.

Indeed, Daedroth is the singular version of Daedra, which is the sense I use it in. I'm well aware of what the common meaning of Daedroth is, I'd be a poor Daedra Hunter if I didn't :P

I probably could have phrased that better. Early Afternoon and Lunchtime are both valid times of day, "Late Midday" is not. The hobbit system is an excellent one, imho. At the very least we should incorperate elevenses into the RP :)

RE: Daedroth and Clannfear, I tend to put daedroth with non-caps when it is referring to a single denizen of Oblivion, and with a capital D for the alligator-man breed we all know and love. There isn't much precedent for this at all in the convention of the English language (or Tamrielic for that matter) but it is the system I use. The efficient squashing of that Clannfear is forgiven, purely on how stylishly it was executed. As that picture eludes too, there are nastier nasties to come.

So uni's almost done for the year, and I wanted to get into this.

I was thinking of a Legion agent under the guise as a shopkeep, because I'd imagine they'd want some eyes in this new keep, especially if the war is still going on.

But for that to work, I would appreciate some questions answered :)

1) What exactly is the situation between the Legion and Stormcloaks in this RP? Did I miss it in the OP?

2) I noticed there was already a shopkeeper. I was thinking in just selling mundane items, but if you don't want 2 shops I'd understand. However, if the existing shop specializes in certain items, I'd certainly be able to narrow it down from a sort of "general store".

Thanks in advance :)

Hm, the capital letters variation system sounds good. Therefore, I shall steal it and call it my own.

Also, lacking in sanity stability and consistence Leandra might be, but never style. There's a reason why she wears a trenchcoat.

Well any self-respecting town would have a market. I'm not entirely sure what the current shop-keeping situation is right now, but I'm sure something could be worked out. At the moment, Valton is in the neutral buffer between Imperial and Stormcloak territory. Our Jarl is doing like Balgruuf and keeping his options open (to avoid being made a target by Ulfric more than anything else). Jarl Radwulf is much more likely to side with the Imperials, but he is leaving this decision as late as he possibly can.

At the moment we have a general store, a Court-Mage who can provide enchantments, and a blacksmith for weapons and armour.

As soon as you've got a character sheet drawn up, just post it in here and me or Gorbad will have a look at it, and fingers crossed get you in the RP as quickly as possible. :)

Well, we already have imperials keeping an eye on Valton, as well as the thalmor. The general-goods store is currently closed, due to -both- of its owners RPers being away for so long. It'd be great if you could open it once again with your character.

I'd prefered if your character was not an imperial (part of the Empire that is), since we already got a full time dedicated guy on the job for that, reporting back to solitude and all. It'd be absolutely great if you'd make it a stormcloak guy instead, keeping an eye for Ulfric. Shop-keeper is open though, so that will be no problem.

Ok, so the war is basically going on. Cool stuff.

Yeah it probably won't be until the 13th, after my last exam but I'll definitely start reading the thread so I can jump in without any real problems. For the shop, perhaps I'll specialize in something.

Thanks for the answers :)

Specializing might be better to allow for other shop owners without them overlapping each other. Otherwise, having one kinda takes away the appeal of having another one.

Despite the fact I hate the Stormcloaks, I shall make an agent for them :P I've yet to decide what type of store but I kind of figured a more specialized store would be best. Perhaps jewelry or books?

Thanks for the feed back everyone!

I think there's a library already so it would overlap there. Jewelery sounds fine to me, my character wouldn't be a client but he would take part in some Stormcloak conspiracy :D

Jesus, I completely missed there was a book-seller :facepalm:

Would it be ok to make 2 characters, a man and women, acting as a newly wed couple?

Hehe, don't worry, anything like that would likely be far away in the making.

Preferably no. However, if you think you can handle it and you still interact with the other characters in the RP instead of creating small universe of your own and having a bazillion convesations between your two characters, I guess it's OK.

However, it might be better if they got wed in Valton, by the priest of mara who has a temple there in hsi house. (it's not his house yet, nor is it a temple, but he will soon occupty it and will soon making it into a temple).

I know lack of interaction kills RP's, don't worry. But I'll just have the one character.

Alright, just to let everyone know. Tomorrow I'm leaving on vacation to spain so I'll probably not have internet acces.

For those in Nuramon's house. Asap, he'll offer your character to stay at his place, disturbing, your character will be moved to Glass Argonian's chapel/house since he is a healer/priest and can follow up your character's wounds better.

If you guys are ok with this, but this would be how Nuramon would arrange it if I were controling him. You guys feel free to control him for these matters while I'm gone, but he only has one couch large enough to sleep on, one guestroom, which is already taken and his own room which he won't offer to anyone else. feel free to control him how everything gets arrange for the housing.

for payment. Asap, your character's healing only took some regular ingredients so nothing to expensive, not to cheap either or he could work for him as a gaurd at the soon to come in existence meadery (if JonasVault is still in on this.) Disturbing, yours will be more expensive :) (or you could also work for him as a guard at the meadery.

This is all for Nuramon.

Vincent, Daikanos is at the Hot Springs and will stay there until late evening, Radwulf is always welcome to join him :) Daikanos will know that what he did was wrong but he is to stubborn, pig-headed, arrogant to admit it and will probably answer along the line of "you didn't hire me to act all high and courtely, but to get [censored] done and that is what I do." ... If you plan on meeting him after the Hot Springs he'll just be in his chambers. Feel free to controle him during the conversation as well. :)

Alright, I wish you all a happy Easter and for those with holidays, enjoy them.

I know that we need a butcher. Also there was talk of Roymund, Roland, and Jormaw starting up a fur/meat trading post in Valton. However I think Roland would be a much better sword-for hire kind of guard. He does have some heavy criminal charges resting on his shoulders (treason against the Empire, multiple accounts of murder, and desertion from his post). So he'll be rather aggressive when it comes to matters of his past, and people who don't ask questions are the people he'll go to (as well as the stormcloaks, he hates the empire).

I know lack of interaction kills RP's, don't worry. But I'll just have the one character.

I think you should have the two characters. It'd be nice to have some character interaction that wasn't between two RP'ers. It opens more ways to develop your characters than through posting with other people. That's why I try to make characters in pairs where it could fit.

Just a thought though :shrug:

@ ASAP, well the reason I considered the two "spouses" was actually to promote double the character interaction. I could have two people out and about, learning about the town and its people.

Ultimately it's up to you Gorbad.

My only concern with promoting more interaction is the player's activity. It's no fun to get stuck in a conversation and wait for a reaction for many days. I'm not complaining, we don't always have the time but if you have more characters to interact with, I'd just make sure that you can handle the extra workload :wink:

I don't know what the GMs think about this but I think a good alternative could be to focus on one and have the other as an NPC of sorts that would make an appearance only when needed. This would also make the town more normal, I remember thinking how odd it is that there's no wives or children in this town and only one or two women. It can be justified in the context of the RP but still, I wouldn't mind having more normal characters.

I'm just wondering, but since when has having multiple characters become taboo?

Blade is a very competent RP'er and, since I've RP'ed with him in the timeline for 2 years, I can vouch for him in the respect that he can definitely play 2 characters and not be bogged down. He actually had two twins in the last IBT RP that ended up being very interesting.

I just don't see where having more characters somehow decreases interaction. Having more characters means you have more interaction. It's not as hard to concentrate on more than one character as everyone seems to make it out to be.

I'm sure that pretty much anyone here could handle more than one character, and I'm sure that some of us could handle having upwards of four characters with no problem.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me getting too used to the IBT where everyone has a bazillion characters, but I just don't see how having more characters is a bad thing. :shrug:
