Gavril, that is amazing. Woo!


Daroska, I love the character, but I can't see him being employed by anyone in the town. There is no race more despised than the Sload, even to this day. You are free to try and work him into the RP, but I'm afraid he would have to be working freelance, without the blessings of Jarl Spurvhauke. Maybe he could live in some cave on the edge of the town? The only problem is, half the characters in the RP would naturally want to go and slay him immediately if they found out he was there - and the Jarl would likely support such an action.

Hmmmm. How about Fiona though? couldn't she summon him into the RP (through conjuration) and explain to the Jarl that he is no beast to be feared?

At any rate I'm sure the most of the characters in town have viewed a sload before. Half of the characters are travellers, after all.
The only person I'd worry about attacking him would be Alguidar. Otherwise they should all be at least neutral with him.
Actually I'd imagine aSaPp!5@'s new character to get along quite well with him. Since there tendencies are more or less the same.

Then there's Skarpi who served as a sailor, whom I'm sure would of made numerous contacts among the sload.
So honestly, Vincent, I don't see your point here. There's tamriel's prejudice against sload and then there's valton's.
Valton isn't exactly the traditional nord's town full of racist bigots. It's an acceptable place, offering a position even for a dwemer weirdo, an argonian or an orc.

Tbh I think you are misjudging the antipathy to the Sload, and where they fall in the lore. The very fact that House Dres deal with the Sload was one of the most detested features. No one on Tamriel likes the Sload, that is kind of their thing. Even on tropical Stros M'Kai, communing with a Sload was something to be frowned upon. Possibly the only event to unite all of Tamriel behind one cause (other than the Oblivion Crisis) was the defeat of the Sload after the Thrassian Plague.

Also, Sload are not common at all. Only a sailor who operates in the right seas would even have a chance of ever seeing one. The Jarl probably has dealt with them before, but other than any ex-sailors we have among us, there is next to zero chance of your average Valton citizen ever having been anywhere near a Sload. While some folk would allow a Sload to live within the town, there are others who would be so outraged by the prospect they would take to driving the slug creature out. Not being citizens of the Empire (and barely considered people at all by most), a Sload would have no rights in a situation like this.

That said, he could definitely live in Valton as long as it was a more subtle role than Steward. Come to think of it, we could even have him as an old trading acquaintances of Jarl Radwulf. There is no way the Jarl would give a Sload a job dealing with the public, but maybe he could find some other role. Fiona would have never encountered a Sload before in her life, but heard the stories.

To Smig, or anyone else helping with the Valton mod, I just had a look in the CK. For some reason Valton ended up bugged in my version, all the buildings becoming invisible, but I managed to get a picture of what Gudslott Hall should look like from the outside: http://i39.tinypic.com/35hi9eb.jpg . The tower was made by reducing the size of the current one to 0.7 scale, and attaching it to the hall itself. The entrance is inside. For the interior cell, just have a door leading to a separate cell for Fiona's study if you can't get the statics lined up right. The interior can just be any generic spiral staircase, ending in a circular room. You can probably find the right meshes in the fires for bandit fortresses. I'd make it myself, but my one attempt to edit the esp has already ended in disaster XD.

An old trading acquaintance? I like that. Although I don't want you making room for him if you don't want to.

To be honest I thought it'd be interesting to roleplay as one, for the situations it'd create or happen to cause.
But I just want him to have a role which people wouldn't want to be going about outright attacking or persecuting.

An alchemist or steward would fit this nicely. I guess I could do him as a hermit. But that'd be pretty boring all in all.

Ahem. I think some innkeeper or something may have ignored a customer who entered. Or something. :blink:
Thats what you get when you force roles on me, you orcish fiend!

But yea, i'm really sorry about that.

I'll be posting shortly. I'm multitasking and writing at the same time, so if any of you have anything involving Varyn give me like 5 more minutes and I'll be done.

I didn't have Varyn return to the inn at the end of my post so that anyone who wanted to respond to the whole thing could do so. Jacqueline and Alguidar mostly since Varyn pretty much dumped all his junk in their hands for a moment. Don't worry though, he'll be right back at the inn in a moment. :)

It's not like you'll come across Nuramon in his were form. but depending on when Jonas returns. Nuramon will have a word with Sargon and they speak openly about Nuramon's curse when they are at home. So when he wakes up at the same time he may hear them talk about it.

And if you don't have money do pay Nuramon back for his services you can always work for him as security for the meadery.

I guess we can move to afternoon now, or in a couple of posts time. The difference between "late midday" and "afternoon" is just an hour or something :biggrin:


Just a little reminder, read other people's posts. (at least note where their characters are to the best of your ability) because we have right now both Prisoner Six's character and Ergy's character going to the Jarl, who is busy, but still they don't see eachother even though they are practically standing on top of each-other..


"Thanks. I guess I'll go see the Jarl now, then. Thanks for the food."
Titus then walked back to his table, and picked up the bread and mead, drinking the last of the mead, and then walking out of the inn. He took another bite out of the bread, and then put it away in case he got hungry. He stretched his arms, and then walked towards what was most likely the Jarl's hold. Titus made a note to himself to stay away from the innkeeper. The way he had put emphasis on that last word was strange, to say the least. He walked up to the doors of the hold, and entered. Once inside, he looked around at the hall, and saw the Jarl on his throne, talking to an Imperial woman. Titus walked up to them, and waited for them to finish talking. He didn't want to have to talk to the Jarl. Most nobility he knew were arrogant, and he doubted this Jarl would be any different.

Tippen left the inn as the other Imperials approached the bar. One asked the innkeeper about a job, and Tippen hoped that he would soon be able to offer someone a job. He could do a lot on his own, but a new hold would require a good bit of wood. He made his way to the Jarl's Hall.

As he entered, he noticed an odd looking woman. She was Imperial, but she was dressed in an odd manner. She seemed to be discussing something of some importance with the Jarl. Tippen decided it would be best if he waited his turn. She looked like she could be dangerous if interrupted, plus it wouldn't help him get the mill if he acted in a rude manner. In hindsight, he should have changed into his nicer clothing, but never thought of it. Now it would just be awkward if he left and came back again, but in different attire. So he waited patiently for the odd woman to finish her business.

I'll go post something with Titus noticing the other guy, and wondering what to do, as it starts to become slightly more awkward.

I had planned on having him do something of that nature to pay for his services.

EDIT: Oh and Smig, you can decide how much gold Varyn gave Alguidar. I'm fine with whatever price you decide.

Just seen this now. I kept it a subjective amount, I'll think about a number if it becomes important later.

Hehe thanks. It's even better if you've played Morrowind (or researched Dunmer lore) and know about what Varyn is talking about. Every bit of dialogue in that is actually factual, believe it or not. :P
