@Entropsy Sorry I made it so long! And seriously, don't worry about that, haha. That's just an intro post on my end; usually I average 400-700 words depending on the situation, longer only if something really important is going on or if there's a collab.

@Entropsy Sorry about the delay; my intro post ended up being longer and taking longer for me to write than I anticipated, but I've finally gotten it up! I'm not super satisfied with the ending but I hope I left it open enough, haha.

The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

@gcold That sounds like an amazing prompt! (By the way, sorry for not participating in the first one; I have only been around for a few pages so I didn't feel like I've seen/participated in enough to have a say in the voting.) I do have a quick question, though: would it be acceptable for me to use a character not present in an RP on this site? My two most active RPs/PRPs are Elder-Scrolls themed, and I'd like to use a character from outside the universe.

The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

Bharzak had stuck with the altmer and breton as they had exited the inn, not waiting to see what the other former occupants of the inn were up to in her eagerness to help deal with the Kamal threat. Because of this, she had not been spared from being spattered with bits of the now rather deceased khajiit Marcel had just caused to explode. Equal parts disgusted and amazed, the orsimer was briefly paralyzed by her conflicting emotions, nearly slack-jawed as what had happened registered in her mind. Such a powerful display was something she had never seen the likes of—something she was not sure she would ever even be capable of.

That thought brought her back to the present, along with a much greater sense of urgency as she saw the current states her companions were in and their now-fleeing opponents. Scolding herself for not getting involved sooner, the alteration mage took advantage of the slight lull the breton’s incredible kill had created, making for the Redguard who had previously picked him as a target. Axe in hand, she slashed at him with considerable ferocity. While he was able to dodge the blow at the last second, turning around to avoid what would’ve been a decapitating (or, at least partially so) stroke, it was apparent the intense yet refined qualities of her fighting style threw him considerably off guard, and she immediately aimed to make the man lose his weapon.

She struck at him quickly and irregularly, and, with her third hit, she caught the edge of his blade in hers and wrenched at it with all her strength, pulling it out of his grip entirely. It fell near-noiselessly to the ground by her feet as she wasted no time in burying her axe in the man’s chest, ribs cracking under the velocity of her attack. The redguard was now very much dead, and, with a slight bit of difficulty, Bharzak removed her weapon, turning to look for the dunmer. It seemed the fellow had not stuck around with all his compatriots dead, so the orsimer allowed the states of her two comrades to be the center of her attention.

From the looks of it, neither of them seemed to be in the best condition to continue fighting. She briefly considered whether it would be worth trying to extend her Ironflesh spell to either of them, but quickly came to the conclusion that it would not be a particularly practical way to go about helping her allies—not to mention it would weaken her own defenses. The discarding of that idea only left that of getting into her potions supply, something she was not particularly eager to make a dent in so early in the fight. She hoped she would not be made to regret sharing them later. Addressing both Keegan and Marcel quickly, she made the offer as she retrieved the items in question. “If you want them, I’ve got some potions of healing and magicka I can spare. But if you do, speak quickly, and preferably before more of the Kamal come our way.”

I'll be posting soon. I've finished my post, but am currently trying to edit it so it's not too awful. I apologize as it will probably not be the greatest quality. Not that it's any excuse, but I've been having a rather difficult week, and that combined with a college visit has made it very hard for me to want to or be able to do much writing. Also, if anything's wrong with my post, please let me know; I don't mind editing it.

@gcold About three paragraphs into Bharzak's post now; just had a quick question about alteration. In this RP, can protective alteration spells be cast by a mage on other people (like Ironflesh or whatever), or is that too much of a stretch?

@Entropsy Sorry that that a Tuesday post didn't happen. This has been the week from hell; I'll definitely have something by Sunday, though!

@gcold Sorry, it's been a weird weekend and inspiration's been evading me on this front. I'll try to remedy that soon.

One-Fourth Eternity

@Entropsy Thanks so much! I'll try and have a post finished by Tuesday at the latest! And I'd like to apologize in advance—I move a little slow IC sometimes, but I'll do my best to be around for planning and such whenever.
