Do we need to wait for the GM to say it is morning if all the characters are already ready for the next day?

Everyone can move to morning, but I guess you don't need me saying that? :biggrin:

I like the ideas for the bandit scenario. I was thinking of having a guard walk in during the questioning, who will ask the captain if a travelling merchant oculd hire some guards to accompany them to Riften. Daikanos would decline, but as such the bandit would think a good prey is coming their way and they'd set up a trap. The travelling merchants would be guards in disguise and then we'd have an epic battle.

I also like the execution scenario with the little revolt from some bandits in town.

To join or not to join....gahhh it's killing me. Every time I check this thing out it just keeps screaming at me to join. :P

What exactly is going on in the RP right now? I have a character in mind but I don't want to throw him in there in the middle of something big since I might not be as active as everyone else.

Daikanos, the guard captain, is going to interogate a captured bandit (he doesn't know it yet.) the plan is to find the bandit hq and kill them all.

The mine has been cleared and they'll be setting up defenses on the in and outside.

Danus wants to convince the jarl to let in imperial troops.

Nuramon & Sargon are about to set up a brewery, (although the pirce is not yet decided, since the GM's think we have to much money although I don't think it unlikely when you're older than 100 years.

The daedric princes have some sort of interest in the new hold.

out of the top of my head, that's all I can really remember. Oh and I'll get a post in at oPaP as soon as possible.

Hmm I might drop a character in. Is there a description of the town? How it's laid out, etc?

I was thinking.. after Jormaw has set up his little fishing spot out by the river and after a few in-roleplay days pass,
we could have him attacked by two land-dreugh. Leading to him becoming wounded, getting medical attention from a local farmer; :wink:
and eventually leading a party to clear out a cave full of land dreugh, as well other assorted sea creatures (including mudcrabs, slaughterfish etc.).

How does that sound?

Here's my character if I decide to join.

Spoiler

Name:Roland
Age: 32
Race:Imperial/Nord
Gender:Male
Height:5’10”
Birthsign: The Lord

Appearance:http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab216/asapp152/RolandFace.jpg is a gruff man. His body is lean and in good physical condition. His scruffy dark brown hair falls down almost to his shoulders. His eyes are a deep hazel green and look as though they belong to a man much older than he. His face is rough and unshaven leaving dark brown stubble across his strong jaw and thin cheeks. His face is slender but not gaunt.

Class: Ranger

Skills and known spells:
Archery- Roland is extremely talented in archery and more than at home with a bow and arrow in his hands.
Blade- Roland is also extremely proficient in the arts of the sword. He prefers a hand-and-half sword.
Alchemy- Roland has a strong grasp of alchemy. Not in the same way a mage would. Roland instead focuses on creating poultices and herbal remedies from things found in the outdoors.
Riding- Roland is a good rider and knows how to sit a horse well.
Tracking- Roland is a master tracker, of both game and other quarry.
Survival- From many years of training and being in the wilderness Roland has figured out how to survive on even the most minimal of resources.
Ranging- Roland possesses all skills that most associate with rangers, from climbing to cooking to basic first aid, if it is required for ranging he knows how to do it.

Clothing / armor: Roland wears a beige linen shirt under a worn leather jerkin. Over the Jerkin he wears wool tabard trimmed in leather, and on top of that he wears a worn leather vest and mantle for extra protection. He also wears light wool trousers and high leather boots. Around his shoulders he wears a travel-worn brown cloak clasped together by a bronze brooch. (http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Human/Gondor/Ranger/Ranger_A_8354_GLeaf.jpg)

Weapons:Roland carries a steel http://www.the-mathom-house.com/images/strider_scabbard-H.jpg as well as a http://images.wikia.com/deadliestfiction/images/5/5b/English_longbow3.jpg composed of hickory and lemonwood. To accompany his bow Roland carries at least 20-25 steel tipped arrows with him at all times. Roland also carries a steel hunting knife on the back of his belt. It is more of a tool than a weapon, but can be used to as one if need be.

Miscellaneous items: Roland carries a thin bedroll, a small hatchet, a few small wooden alchemical tools such as a mortar and pestle, a few first aid ointments and bandages, flint and tinder, and various other small items used for ranging or camping.

Personality: Roland is a kind person at heart, but he has seen much in his life and it has made him a different man. He's a friendly man most of the time, if not a bit rough. He tends to keep to himself, but once he's acquainted with someone and gets to know them he tends to be a bit more extrovertive.

Major flaw: Roland has seen some pretty gruesome things in the past few years, and it has left a large imprint on his mind. He sometimes relapses into periods of extreme abrasiveness and becomes extremely touchy when matters of his past are brought up.

Background:(Not going to give too much away here, most of his character development will be through revealing his past) Roland was born to an Imperial father and a Nordic mother in the town of Bruma. He joined the Bruma guard like his father at the age of 16 and from there went on to join the Imperial Legion’s 6th Forester Division. The 6th division was transferred from Cyrodiil to Skyrim soon after his enlistment. Roland spent close to 13 years in the 6th division. During the Civil war of 4E204 his Uncles and the rest of his mother's family declared allegiance to Ulfric Stormcloak. Much to Roland's dismay the 6th Forester division, acting as outriders and scouts for the 4th Legion, was dispatched on campaign against the Stormcloak rebellion. During their campaign the 6th Forester Division engaged in a large skirmish with Stormcloak forces around a village on the Jorgrim River. The village was home to his mother's family. The 6th Division won the skirmish with aid from a 4th Legion regiment. However Roland deserted shortly afterward and has been running from the legion ever since. Some claim he runs on chargers of treason, deserting, and murder.

It's Northwest of Valton. However if your gonna enter Valton and want to be attacked by bandits you better hurry. As sometime today. (in RP) the bandits are going to get attacked by the guards and possibly the leader getting killed.

Looks like we'll be having two very similar characters around the hold now, Both Ex-Legion Foresters, turned huntsmen/rangers who try to be good guys but dont always come across as such.

Depending on how you play yours, this could be kinda awkward..

Whoa...had no idea there was already an ex-legion forrester haha. Hopefully it wont be too awkward. My guy is a deserter so he tries to avoid staying in one place or getting close to anyone. However due to some unforeseen events he'll be stuck in Valton longer than he intended to stay.

So many things happening and I'm having another busy weekend... :tongue:

Daroska: That sounds good to me. Less combat oriented characters like the farmer will need to have some minor involvement like that in these events or this could get boring.

aSaPp!5@: Too late now but I don't see the GMs aproval of the sheet. For the record, those are Vincent and Gorbad. Probably not a problem, sometimes I read your posts on other RPs, always enjoyed them :smile:

Ehh didn't think Vincent would mind too much, and I wanted to get it in before everything moved along too far. :tongue:

I can always edit things out if need be.

And thanks, glad that you like them! :biggrin:

Yes, this is exactly what the RP is about. You write your own stories and events. The cave could maybe be under-water as well? (not as in at the bottom of a 200 feet deep river, but maybe more like 6 feet under water). :smile:

I'm going to check your char-sheet right now asap.
Hmm. Yeah the background is perhaps a bit too similar. If it isn't too much of a problem, could you change it so your character is a stormcloak instead? (who still has problems with the legion, but for other reasons than deserting)? Other than that, char-sheet looks good.

Just checked out the other person's sheet. Damn, how did I managed to make like a complete photocopy of it :P

I change a few things around. His background though is quite different than the other persons. I haven't fleshed it out in the sheet though since it's pretty much my entire character development and I didn't want to spoil it for anyone. He's pretty much a fugitive since he deserted the legion. I'll mess around with a few things later today and get stuff straightened out though.

Love being referred to as "The other person" :)

As for the two characters, The backgrounds are very similar to my thinking. Major differences are your character seems to be more of a fighting type than mine. Whereas mine is a Forester-turned Huntsman, yours seems to be a Forester-turned Aragorn. Oh and your part Nord and own a horse. ;)

As for the rest it's basically the same,
Scouting, PTSD, Gruff, Loner, not great in social situations from long times spent in the woods, etc.

My concern for the two sheets is that, when it comes down to it, Your character can do everything mine can aswell as fight better. Which will likely take away half of the RP-oppertunies available to me. Not to come across as a moody sod, but that basically makes my character pointless being here and i've spent the last, month?, being involved with this.
