Who's to say she isn't, eh

[Lucie H]

Ah damn it, completely forgot about the timeline mismatch. Too used to RPing in non-Skyrim times The Synod it is then.

Sure, change the age to 26 by all means, I was considering that, just went younger for more weird points. And regarding the Dwemer arm, it's less 'Dwemer cybernetics' more 'Dwemer thing found in a ruin that no one knows how it works that she just sorta slapped on 'cuz she's stupid like that'. It almost tore her arm off the first time and she still has no idea whatsoever what it runs on or what makes it tick, so don't worry, no mass produced augmentations are incomming. She's a rather unusual character though, completely understand any concerns.

I'll edit the sheet asap.

Currently waiting for a second opinion of the char-sheet, but I think you'll be fine with what it is now. Nothing OP there, nothing unbalanced. In fact, it's an interesting character that fills a needed role in Valton
Edit: Char-sheet accpeted and edited to original post.

Oh btw Gavril, I found myself laughing out loud at the TES alchemy. "Yeah, so I crushed some butterfly wings and a bee and used it to heal a wound" But that's just how things is, hehe

[Jarrett Willis]

Hahaha, fair enough. One point I would add though, is that this is essentially a pastoral, very domestic-minded RP - the elements of daedric danger are meant to be comically out of Valton's hopes of stopping, at least at the face of it. Generally we are playing the characters who normally would be hapless NPCs, needing saving. That said, at some point we will need someone to save us, so i guess that is where your Full Metal Daedra Hunter could come in. Or not.

I can't wait til she meets Fiona...

[James Potter]

It's not 13 daedric princes vs Valton, it's more like X daedric princes VS Y daedric princes and Valton.

Ahh that's much more interesting

The whole daedric subplot is a little more fleshed out than that, there are quite a few surprises down the road, I promise, and a total coherent plan somewhere. For matters Daedric I'm still your man, as I'm the GM most attuned to the echoes from across the Waters of Oblivion (I'm the dude writing this stuff).

Anyway, yeah. If you have an idea regarding a specific prince get in touch with me via PM and we can work something out.

Are you going to be on Steam anytime soon? I find it easier to talk on there than through PM.

The only explanation we've gotten about what the Princes are up to, other than something Fiona Barrow-Heart learnt from her raven (that she is keeping a secret) has been from a slightly drunk scamp, who mysteriously appeared yesterday in Helas' Folly, then disappeared again. Here is the post: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1338764-valton-the-new-hold-rp-thread-2/page__view__findpost__p__20382441 A fair warning, he only talks in gambling metaphors

This gives me an idea. Rithe could show up in search of the scamp and interrogate it for various personal reasons dealing with Mephala. I'll flesh out my idea tonight if you get on Steam.

Just read the scamp post lemme guess Wild guy=Sheogorath, the Genius is probably jyggalag and the one who started it all is clavicus vile? probably wrong on one of them.

The Genius would be Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and Fate. Jyggalag is the Daedric prince of Order.

Wooooo! PFA is in da house!

The whole dwemer arm thing reminds me of Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist.

Or Rithe...

And ninja'd with the FMA reference

[Mandi Norton]

How about we make the fishing river under Valton, but leads to a *small* waterfall, which follows to lowlands that contains the farm and some road?
The lowlands would lead to a forested slope that goes up to the uplands. The uplands containing Valton the town (this would be a defensive strategy).

Water flooded from the waterfall would seep down to the farm and the road, blocking supplies from that part of the hold for awhile. Untill of course a
mason repairs damage done to the rockface and builds a dam as a flood barrier, incase it happens again. What do you say? sound good? no?

Oh and I should really ask Smig if he'd be alright with all of his crops being ruined.. as well as his character being on the virge of suicide. Heh..

Hmm. It's a lot easier, and you'd get the same effect, if you just had Jormaw put his net in high-placed water first. That way it stays true to everyones imagination of Valtons layout and also fits better the future in-game farm of Valton (which currently is in the wrong place). The reason it fits better is because the place you're fishing on isn't precise. This way it's also easier to add in a cave that fits there. Still exactly the same flood, but just easier to place and keep track on in the future. Sometimes vague is good.

haha, indeed, indeed! But I looked up on the uesp ingredients from skyrim and those were some of the first I came acros that restored health and fatigue and stuff so, why not

[James Wilson]

What time of year is it in the RP?

[Ilona Neumann]

I swear to God, I wasn't thinking of Full Metal Alchemist when I made that character.

And yeah, I'm well aware this is a more 'normal life-ish' sort of RP... which makes Leandra oh so deliciously out of place and so much more fun to deal with. Hopefully she'll turn out fun enough. I'll have my first post up tomorrow.

[Ludivine Dupuy]

You'd be suprised how many total weirdos we have already . Getting Rpers to do something mundane is a thankless/hopeless task. I like the way Valton has turned out though, and I'm sure you'll fit right in. Now head down to the docks and they'll finish your release.

To answer your question, AyumiFan, it is, uh..just around the time of the start of Skyrim, whenever that is.

[Donatus Uwasomba]

Nevermind, misread your post

[Kieren Thomson]

So... summertime? Spring?

[Hayley Bristow]

Hmmm.. I don't get what you're trying to say. But I'll just go with whatever layout you suggest and have the waterfall be part of a rapid, http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/02/Skryim-Trailer-anolysis-8-Rapids.jpg.
That should solve any land problems, as well make it easier to build in-game. But just remember that I'd like to keep the flood the same:
Hitting a road going out of Valton and the farm. This way it could make enough effect for the Jarl to warrant a party to investigate the cause.

[Damian Parsons]

nevermind again

[kitten maciver]

So... summertime? Spring?

I believe it would be the equivalent to August, so, Skyrim being in the northern hemisphere, it should be summer.

Is this because of the crops?

[Shannon Lockwood]

Yup. I guess Alguidar really has his work cut out for him and he will be very busy all day harvesting. A lot of work for just one man. One man alone on his old and time consuming farm. All by himself. No one to share the workload with.

[Danial Zachery]

Well at least researching horses is a bit more sensible

I also try to add realism into my roleplaying, steering away from things like the pricing system in the games and the simplified way of making potions and mixtures with alchemy.
I also try to keep a realistic sense of time and scale, so I find it kinda odd that a courier is sent to Riften to request supplies and the very next day a cart filled with goods has been delivered from the Black-Briars, or that a smith can wake up in the morning and forge a complete set of iron weapons and armour and still have time to spare before lunchtime (though that can be explained if he's just doing shoddy work ). Or that a house meant to hold an entire clan can be built in only one week with the use of magic.

I don't want you to take this as a personal attack or criticism. Those were just used as an example to show what I mean. And I don't have a problem with people doing stuff like that, I don't get angry or annoyed, I just find it weird. Not bad or negative. Just weird

Now the whole magic thing was a REALLY CRAPPY excuse I came up with on the fly, but keep in mind it's made to only hold about four people (the laborers are all going to return to Morrowind), and I was wondering, didn't someone's character become a mason...?

[Hairul Hafis]

Earlier Danus sent out a bodyguard to warn the Jarl and guard captain about the wounded Nord. So if vincent and Gaviril can post comments mentioning that it would be great.

Ah, I thought it was meant to be like a giant estate holding a Dunmer family of 20+. Silly me

[Hilm Music]

No no, that would only happen IF the Jarl allows House Redoran to enter the town, which seems unlikely at this point .
The four people would be Xerces, his wife (the children will be left in Morrowind due to the racism of the Nords, and they need to understand Redoran better first) and his two bodyguards, which will be people I hire to do so.

[krystal sowten]

Ahh that brings back so many memories. I've spent more time in that game than all the others combined.

Oh and about the whole ambush thing. Roland was starting a campfire in the evening when the arrows flew out from the trees. After the arrows came through then the bandits attacked. He also only slew one and then took off on his horse, he knew that with an arrows in his shoulder and a gash on his leg he didn't stand a chance. He was then struck in the right arm by another arrow as he escaped.

Just thought I would clarify everything so no one would be confused on what happened.

[LuCY sCoTT]

I've attempted a long post, for this i am sorry but if i broke the three scenes into individual posts they'd be too short for my likeing.
As for controlling Annika, Me and Trixy had already sorted out the job for Roymund hunting deer for her before she had to take a break from the RP. Just wanted a wrap that up, I also felt like our characters got on fairly well so kept everything polite and easy going.

[ZzZz]

Well I'll fix that.

[carley moss]

Well I'll fix that.

No problem man, it's not a big deal. Just thought I'd clarify what happened better than I had earlier.

[Vivien]

You guys have room for another?

[Rich O'Brien]

You guys have room for another?

We have enough room for all of India.

And Asap, I fixed it, any mistakes I still made?
