Valton: The New Hold OOC & Sign-Up Thread VIII

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 7:14 am

yeah, I didn't pay much attention to it but Asap's got a point. anyway, maybe he sortof took care of it good enough to make it to the city ? :tongue:

anyway, if things keep going like this Nuramon will need a special room where he can put all his patients. I hope your character doesn't mind laying on the table, Disturbing? Nuramon isn't goin to offer his own bed and as far as he knows Sargon is still asleep and Nuramon has only one guest room. and the couch has been taken as well. Wow I'll have to organise things :tongue:
Itan-Ru, the priest, should soon establish a permanent healing center. Hopefully this RP-day.

He might've been stabbed in a particular area in the belly that didn't have any important organs, basically between two of them; extremely lucky. I do agree with you though, killing two bandits that easily while wounded -after you've traveled quite a distance- is a bit unrealistic. Anyways, turns out the bandits were only illusionized skeletons, quite easy to kill actually. (summoned and illusionised by the mage the guard killed).

It doesn't have to hit organs to be fatal, but pretty much any stab to the abdomen will hit an organ. Even if he were to just get a thumb chopped off (a much more minor wound), he would still lose too much blood over that period of time. Any stab to the abdomen with a blade longer than a few inches is going to cause a whole lot of damage.

I suggest maybe having the blade glance off the side of his rib cage leaving a sizable gash. It would be much more plausible for someone to pull those feats with a gash to the ribs instead of a large puncture wound to the stomach.

Hmm. Trying to figure out a way to fluff around this so that disturbing doesn't need to edit his post.. Hmm.
Perhaps the "dagger" the beggar used wasn't actually a dagger. More like an extremely small kitchen-knife. In addition, the stab could've only barely penetrated the skin and some flesh; because it was so short and un-sharp? :D

Note: I completely agree with you though. I'm just trying to fluff it up as much as possible :P

Maybe it wasn't a dagger, a stilleto. They aren't any good to stab in abdomens unless poisoned. They should be used to hit the lungs (especially when it has a small airway through which the air can escape and the lung can collapse, or the heart. Correct me if I'm wrong tough. I'm not so sure about this anymore. Been to long since I've checked it.

Yeah. A badly placed stab with a dull shank or shiv would be easier to survive than receiving a "coin sized wound". The hole left by a .45 caliber hollow point is about the size of a quarter, and I'm guessing that a septim is about the size of a 50c piece. So that would be like getting stabbed with a 1in diameter sharpened spike. Doesn't sound too pleasant :P

Indeed, after the business with the vampire is dealt with, he'll talk to the Jarl and figure something out

We just moved to late afternoon. There's quite a lot that needs to be done before evening. (two visitors at the Jarl needs to be dealt with before we move to evening, in addition to generally move other things further as well)

Nah, let's just let the Rockjoint stiffen that hunter and then throw him in the river. Buhaa. *cough*

Yeah. Too much stuff to do before evening, thus: we ain't moving to evening any time soon.


Edit: Skarpi feels a bit like a fella called "Kvothe". Been reading the book where that figure is, or was it accidental that an adventurer who plays the flute turned into an innkeeper in Valton? :tongue:
Edit2: Gavril, the font is quite small... Care to oomph it up a bit? Oh and the bold effect seems to have been a bit too frequent, you can't see what is talk and what isn't when everything is bolded :D

I'm sorry, I noticed it too and tried to fix it. I think it is fixed. It didn't properly copy from Word :tongue: and I don't use bold letters/words to show someone's speaking. I use " " :P

also, I hope these medical posts are any good because in fact I have no knowledge or skills what so ever about such things (apart from the magic and alchemy thrown in since I can pretty much make that up.)

I'll get a post up for Daikanos tonight as well. It looks like Your Mom isn't going to do it I guess.

Leandra still has her scouting out of Fiona's study to do, doesn't she? I guess I'll twiddle my thumbs for a bit, until someone comes up to address the Jarl. The sooner we get Fiona back the better :P

Thanks for all the tips and constructive criticism guys. I want to clarify some things that may have been confusing.

Sorry about the whole "coin sized wound" thing. I'm no doctor and my view on trauma is probably off a bit.

And about the taking on five bandits, I was trying to emphasize Theseus's hate for the wicked and his overconfidence in his abilities.

Oh and for the record Theseus looks mostly Redguard( skin tone, hair) with some Nordic facial features (nose, brow, mouth etc.)

No problem man. Don't take it to hard if I call out something; it's nothing personal. I just have a tinge of perfectionism in me and a bad habit of nitpicking. :P

If mods could have this open for a while longer so Vincent can copy and paste the updated original post, it'd be great.
