@Chrononaut Makes you wonder why we even like this stupid setting anyway?

@Hank

If I had to guess, because there's not a lot of competing fantasy worlds with moddable tits.

@gcold Fixed the name and money problem. I will look up breeds (Didn't know there were different breeds) of Khajiit and adress those other issues later.

@The Dow Dragon

They were created as an explanation for why, from Arena to Daggerfall, Khajiit in Arena basically looked like they were humans with vaguely catlike facial makeup and they didn't in Daggerfall. This instance of Elder Scrolls retconning so hard up its own ass that it finds, in its colon, another universe with another one of its own asses to stick its head into; has lead to other creative retcons like "CHIM TURNED CYRODIL INTO A GENERIC FANTASY AREA GUYS" and "ALL THE PLOTS IN DAGGERFALL HAPPENED AT ONCE BECAUSE COSMIC DRAGON".

I am having real problems wrapping my head around how to interject Valen into the RP. SEND HELP

@Hellis

Maybe he has some vested interest in the shitholes that either party are currently going. Example: got caught in the forest fires and is now trying to stop it because FUCK DRYADS. Alternatively, maybe he was in a shipwreck near the location of the Dwemer ruins and fell into a sinkhole that left him in the ruins, fortuitously at the time when the main party arrived.

Writing mental disorders

The Book "Blindsight" does a really good job of having someone who had brain surgery which inhibited their ability to have emotions.

“I brought her flowers one dusky Tuesday evening when the light was perfect. I pointed out the irony of that romantic old tradition— the severed genitalia of another species, offered as a precopulatory bribe—and then I recited my story just as we were about to fuck.

To this day, I still don't know what went wrong.”

Basic idea: Just list the traits of the disorder and roll with it. Having a character be sympathetic isn't always possible, there's a reason people are horrified by psychopathic personality types.

"What do I think about the Dwemer? Well, they certainly knew how to make an exit." - Raelyn, when asked about what she thought about the Dwemer when traveling aboard the Kyne's Tear.
---
Raelyn, all in all, thought herself an educated woman. She'd written a book and traveled the world! She had met men and women of every creed, fled from one specific creed, the Khajiit after the Skooma Incident, and all in all had lived an exciting life. She was, however, not prepared for mechanical spiders made of metal who spouted lightning. She wasn't sure if this was worse than the latrine duty.

In an unfortunate circumstance, one approached her. In a rather more fortunate, even more improbable circumstance, its threat assessment went as such.

QUERY: THREAT?"

[YES], [NO]

TARGET: RIGGED, STRAIGHT, NOT MOVING

DATA INSUFFICIENT.

CLOSEST EQUIVELANT?

[STALACTITE], [PIPE], [SNOW ELF]

STALACTITE HIGHEST PROBABILITY.

ASSESSING.

It then clanked off towards someone else. Others of its kind would occassionally glance in Raelyns direction, but seemed to not even notice her. She took this opportunity to proffer a sword from the nearest dead Dunmer and swung it in a manner suggesting she'd swung a sword before in a panicked arc towards the nearest Dwemer horror contraption. While it didn't die, she did manage to break a leg off with the swing and someone else finished it off.

"You know what, in the practice of censoring knowledge that no one should know the wot of, maybe we can just burn all the books we find." - Raelyn, minutes after her first encounter with Dwemer Spiders.

Sadri, Tsleeixth, Roze, Karth, Solveig, Raelyn - You guys dispatch your opponents with no problem

However, since Sadri and Roze rolled 10 and 9, they have the oppertunity to save the Leif and Elmera.

@gcold

EVERYTHING'S COMING UP RAELYN.

Maybe she shatters the spiders with her sick rendition of A Nords Axe Has a Knob on the End

Probably worth noting that the FIRE SORCERESS would have been a good choice for the woodland mission on the side of Sproggan fighting. On the other hand, could exacerbate the issue...

@Scout

It makes it a lot harder for pirates to capture your ship if it's in flame! Also, I'm sure firing fire into the tight quarters of an underground tunnel city will be just fine.
