TA2: Well, black leather armour does exist and crossbows do exist despite Bethesda seeming to want to never adknowledge them as a common weapon again outside of one DLC pack since Morrowind. I call dibs on erm........ darnit, there is no TES version of the BFG from Doom.

TA2: @Alarra: I would expect that it would be more up to the discretion of the caster and the properties than the actual spell >_> though both forms carry with them inherent pro's and cons, if I can speculate?

I mean, no different than a levitation. While a long term, duration spell may seem more ideal, at best costing the total sum or a bit more while at worst being the an unexpected plummet to a less mindful individual >_> it could prove far better than slowly feeding into the spell and forced to stay focused and manage your magicka usage.

Yes, maybe it is more resourceful, and probably a walk thru the park for someone where the spell seems 2nd nature like eating or breathing.. But the comfort of minimizing failure and risk certainly covers any price your average adept may pay. Unless of course your smart, then just enchant some tool to do the actual work and worry not :dur:

Then again, I am also bias on this, cause even in game I tend to favor single cast spells over continuous spells, even if I don't fully optimize the effect or use :roll:

You guys aren't discussing sending a summon to get the thread, without first dispatching the beast, right? That sounds like it would have the potential to end in disaster, if the beast was to kill the summon and the summon - as a result - dropped the key into the depths.
My thoughts were that we could possibly get away with not needing the key, seeing as the chest is old and rotting wood, it's likely that we could just smash it open.

TA2: Fair enough, though we should be cautious as to whether that is just an aesthetic; it contains a Deadric artifact after all.

TA2: Good point. If that were the case then we could then do the 'slay the beast and get the key' plan, I.e, the more dangerous option.
If there's a boat and we try Niralie's telekinesis idea, then ridding the serpent first would definitely be safer, incase it rocks/tips the boat.

Fallout: I want to move things along with the Vault group so unless there are any objections, I'm going to write a GM post (hopefully today or tomorrow) to take y'all to the lower level.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

Niralie is glancing around to see if there's a boat nearby at the moment that they could use. Could you make a quick DM post on whether there is one or not?

GWN: You all knew this would happen. A dog in an RP, a guard. It is practically illegal to not do so.

BL: Even though we're starting from scratch, are we going to retain the basic knowledge that we gained from each other the first time round (like names and professions, etc)? Or should we repeat those sorts of things in the new scene?

BL: It's all from scratch. So, unless your character knows something about someone else from before Black Legion, your character won't know it now.

BL: Why, did this RP end horribly? Because I can no longer see its history. Not interested in joining, just curious.

BL: It was just a do-over to keep more inline with the theme/challenge more typical of stealth RPs. End horribly, it did not.

The previous progress/posts still exist. Check the Old Roleplays archives.

Edit: Aaaand.. Now Arya thinks Shulbash is more than just some brute.. But now an unsavory character looming around dark alley ways or corners

BL: Just so everyone knows, I ain't reposting the recruitment stuff.....this week. Maybe, next week but would be a bit against the flow so erm..... I think, what may be best is for Velvet(at the risk of being summoned to debate why), to insert it into the first page with hyperlinks or for us to edit out CS posts with the recruitment stuff.

And Beta, you only need to fear Shulbash if you anger him. The downside is: You're an elf. Elves suck. :P I kinda want to start having Shulbash spout quotes of the nine or dedicate the kill of X to one of the nine per kill.

GWN: I kinda want to start having my PCs have pets in Kerr RPs. May do so when possible.

TA2: Do I need to post for Darkscale? I cannea remember.
