Cyrodiil Wars (Inactive)

Game Master Gandal

Hello , we are about to start this game.
I'm working to the entry post of actual game, hope to have it before tonight.
Waiting for everyone.

Gandal here, I'll use this avatar as DM alias. (in case someone is wondering, both Gandal and Ankoku Daishogun are names of villains from the sagas of Gou Nagai, in the specific Ufo Robot Grendizer and Great Mazinger)

For who hasn't yet expanded his/her background i'ld require to have more details on the final capture of the PC, otherwise i'll come up with something, need it for the post that will put everyone in the same dungeon at the beginning of the game.

Remember that there isn't yet a real war with entire armies, only many riots and skirmishes between more or less organized mobs or bandit groups and imperial units sent to soothe them.
Everything started with the assasination of a Dunmer ambassador and unconfirmed voices blamed the argonian race.
After the initial small revolts from members of both races, major cities strengthen borders controls and sent out more troops (sailors from Anvil,mages/scouts/soldiers from The Imperial City,Chorrol,Kvatch,Cheydinal and Skingrad,soldiers/barbarians from Bruma)

Up to you.

Checking in! Thanks for the selection. :) I am putting the final touches on the alias today.

Posting this here so I don't forget his stats. Going to use the Avatar as my character.

Alric here checking in.

Vinland Forever checking in. Thanks for picking me.

Shall I select known spells now? I know I can't cast them, but I wanted to know if you want to know what I know how to cast.

Yes, pick them, you'll broke free and recover your familiar very soon after all.

Hi all, sorry was out all day, looking forwrd to the game.

So i'm picking another language to replace Imperial, right?

Finalising my background, character sheet and traits at the moment.

Edit: Can we get the IC thread up asap, so I can just put an ooc post to dot it? It means it will show up in my campaigns as I run/play PbP almost exclusively through my campaigns tab at the moment (too many to keep track of otherwise)

I'm not at home, will put IC thread up tonight or tomorrow in the early morning.

Spells are done and on my profile. I added an archetype (Sea Witch), so I don't have a hex yet. I get wild empathy with sea creatures instead.

Oh. I originally had 20 Int and 8 Cha, and then I changed it to 18 and 10 after you brought it up. I forgot that I got more points from dropping Int than I spent raising Cha.

I just spent the extra 5 points to bring Str to 10 and Dex to 14. My profile has been updated.

Gandal, do you have any problems with me changing my Healing domain to the Resoration Subdomain? It seems to make more sense for my support role mentality

Associated Domain: Healing.

Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the rebuke death power of the Healing domain.

Restorative Touch (Su): You can touch a creature, letting the healing power of your deity flow through you to relieve the creature of a minor condition. Your touch can remove the dazed, fatigued, shaken, sickened, or staggered condition. You choose which condition is removed. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Replacement Domain Spells: 2nd—remove disease, 4th—neutralize poison, 5th—break enchantment.

Yes looks like mpre appropriate, change it if you want.

Gameplay thread is up for dotting purpose only. Waiting for more details on the player's part.

Added a paragraph to Zesaste's background and his trait. He was fighting for the Dunmer mercenaries when his 'clever' use of an enlarge person spell made him an easy target for javelins hurled at him by Argonians; promptly taking him out of the fight.

Speaking of details, just rememberd the races are lacking info on height and weight.Not going to rewrite everything based on the PF races.
Based on info from the wiki:
Imperials are standard humans
Bretons are shorter humans
Redguards are taller than imperials but not so heavier
Nords are the tallest and heaviest of humans
Altmer are the tallest elven race, hight and weight about standard PF elves
Dunmer are more or less like imperials
Bosmer are the shortest elven race, but not so lighter (in game graphics shows bosmer males almost like dwarves, but females are like all other elves or humans)
Argonians should be slightly taller but lighter than imperials
Khajiit are about imperials height but somewhat lighter
Orc are about redguard's height but nord's weight

Skyrim is scheduled to be published this Friday, so i don't know how much i'll be around considering that i took a week from work just the day after i put my talons on it :)

Updated profile with new domain, some links, and new heights. Ready to do as far as I can tell. Also, I'll be getting Skyrim this week, but I can always find time to post at work...like right now.

** spoiler omitted **

I'm okay with that. I'm fine with dark content.

Ok then.
Only Emelia missing, if i haven't heard from her for tomorrow night i'll officially open the gameplay thread and write the story of her abduction myself

Checking in OOC.

Just ran the Jade Regent second adventure path module, and it was great. Took up some of my sunday and most of my monday!

@.@

Aaaaaand checking in ICly!

*dust dust*

Ja... let us find zem. Let us crush zem. Let us vin against zem viss our strange vords. TRALZ!

I thought more or less the same backstory.

Am going to post the official intro for the game.
I still have to decide some details like what part of the years, months, day or the exact location of the dungeon, but doesn't really matter at the moment, since you will spend some time yet underground, and don't know how long you had been there :)
Also i used some dark, mature content to create the right mood for the PCs, hope i offended no one.
It should be all there, you can start interaction/introduction IC dialogue after reading, it won't be long before breaking free of course.
But let me know if someone needs more details to start posting IC

The assumption is of course that you cannot escape on your own. That is MY job :)
I'll wait until you have all itroduced yourself to the others, need to better prepare the escape quest.

Is Vinland Forever having problems?

This profile had the info of a Second Darkness campaign i started and had to drop because of RL. Updated my profile with my current PCs and XP for each. As i said i'll use the fast xp track.
As for my RL schedule, i should be able to provide a daily rate of posts for about another month, but the closer to Xmas, the busier i'll be.

Need to have some details fleshed out (and to play Skyrim). Don't worry i won't drop this game before it even begins. Next week i'm taking a vacation from work (but staying home) so will put a lot of efforts in this game (and Skyrim too)

Mmmmm skyrim... Om nom nom...

Skyrim is gorgeous. Just sayin'. :)

Can't say that I'm a fan of the interface for skills and such, but otherwise, a really nice game so far.

I think that's my favorite part, as well as the inventory organization and two-handed options. I enjoy that the screen is far less cluttered as well. My (spoiled) hubby found a hardbound game guide at the local Fred Meyer yesterday while we were shopping and that's been a fun walk-through for us.

The Prima Game strategy guide ? That huge handbook ? I need to buy it online, it isn't going to be released in Italy, or so they say :(

This is the strategy book we found.

Yep, that is the one, gonna order one too

As for recovering equip if you have any doubt ask over.Prefer a case by case rather than writing every possible item you can be searching.Only things there sure aren't in the store room are armors.

Only thing Alric would be concerned about specifically recovering his family's signet ring.

Sorry, didn't noticed that. Your ring is here as well, if you as a bard need something else (a musical instrument) it is here too.

Skyrim's been fun. I got the guide, but the soft cover, not the hard cover. Fortunately, I finished Rage the week before, so basically got the guide for free by turning in Rage.

BTW, found a neat little thing about the map that came with the game. If look on it, there are [X] marked on there for the Standing Stones. I picked up the Steed one because it gives you +100lbs carrying capacity and Hvy armor doesn't slow you down.

I need to find that one. I don't use heavy armor, but the +100 lb carrying capacity is worth it by itself.

I still have to buy a steed, but am really just starting the game, since this is the first full day at home since getting the game. Bought the guide on Amazon, since it isn't going to be released in my country :( so waiting for it to deliver.
I'm playing as a female bosmer fighter/rogue/scout.

I'm partial to Bretons, though I enjoy Dunmer as well. Both work well for the magus style characters I tend to end up playing.

If I remember right, it is the [x] that is due west of Dawnstar.

I'm playing a Redguard Archer/Assassin, specializing in alchemy, stealth, illusion, and light-blades and armor. Dual wielding superior elven daggers as we speak. Joined the Companions, think I'm going to let Ulfric and the Empire sort out their own dang affairs and just focus on helping -people-.

This go through.

The new dual-casting and two-spell/two-hand mechanics are *very* cool, and make me seriously want to roll a Mer and play with the new spellcasting.... Not that plinking bandits for +60% x2 damage with a silent, poison, ranged weapon isn't -highly- entertaining. Especially when there's a group of them and I use frenzy poison.

Dance puppets, dance!

I encoutered a nasty graphyc bug, and it is ruining a lot my fun :(
in fact am not playing as much as i would like. The arrows striking my bosmer figther/rogue don't disappear, they keep showing in the PC's body after she gained several level, changed areas a lot of times, equipped different armor pieces and so on.
It isn't a serious problem, the game still runs, but it shouldn't be happening.
I've contacted the technical support service, waiting for an answer.
Or i probably have to wait for the first patches, the game has just been released after all.

My friend is having the same issue, I'll find out what's going on with that and let you know if he finds the fix.
