Elder Scrolls: Terror of the Padomaic

Sharee looked over Tagorn critically. To make a claim such as that was difficult to take seriously, as mercenaries just loved to exaggerate their own skills, but he would have a chance to prove it later on. "Well, if that's true, then you have the makings of a good lookout, and of course would join in on the boarding parties. I'm not giving any final roles until later, though, once I see the entire crew. I plan on meeting up with everyone I have recruited so far at dusk tonight, to the east of town along the coast. I'm sure we won't have everyone we need at that point, but there are a lot of people for hire in this town, so it should be enough to start with."

"That depends on you, both of you." Sharee responded, bringing them back to the question she had asked the Breton before Tagorn had arrived. "My Breton friend here has informed me that he has considerable expense sailing. Provided it's not all bravado, I'll assign his role accordingly. For both of you, though, I need to know what you can do aboard a ship, and elsewhere. Can you fight, do you have good eyes, do you know how to navigate? Anything like that to help me place you in a suitable role. I have a good deal of experience myself sailing, so I know what it takes to run a ship." Sharee explained. She was hesitant to start assigning any roles until she knew more about them, especially any roles with actual authority. No matter what they said, she likely wasn't going to give any official positions out until she had recruited a full crew, that way she could assign them to the best possible candidate. Although, she was going to make sure she recruited at least one person who could fulfill every important role.

I know this may sound silly, but just honestly speaking, have you considered trying to make yourself a small fire to bake your rocks? As long as you do it somewhere dry and secluded, you can bake a couple of rocks that would last you the night. At least until you'd be able to get the whole ordeal sorted.

I think this might be the best suggestion, honestly. Just need some good rocks, and fire. We're renting on someone else's property, so we'll just need to explain why we're starting a small fire in their yard.

Lovely isn't it? The closest thing I found to help you is but don't know if would work or not, or if even helps at all.

I also heard handwarmers can help, but I don't have one. I didn't think about warm water, though if the water heater is electric, that wouldn't work either. If worst comes to worst, the warmest thing in the house will be me. I could keep him warm all day myself, but not so much at night.

We used to have a wood stove, but not at this place. Pretty much everything is electric. I would have purchased something before, but if you're in the South and the weather forecast mentions snow, then every store immediately sells out of milk, bread, and anything related to heating.

Sorry...I literally have no experience dealing with anything cold-blooded. Most I've had is a turtle, but uh...Let's just say I ain't the best caretaker...It ran. The Turtle ran away.

The thing about turtles is that people always underestimate them. They can be quicker than you think.

Yeah, I was talking about a snake. The thing is, stuff like blankets wouldn't work for a snake, because it's not a blanket that makes us warm, it's us that makes a blanket warm. Our bodies heat the air trapped between us and the blanket, insulating us, but that doesn't work for something cold blooded. It might help hold in a bit of heat, but it won't be nearly as effective. I've had this snake for probably half my life at this point, but in that entire time, my power has not went out overnight once. Never actually had to deal with it before.

I'm growing more and more concerned over the weather forecast. The next few days is meant to be the worst ice storm this area has seen in decades, and power outages are possible. I'd like to not be in a position where Ssarak is needed for someone else to post, when and if that happens.

On a related note, does anyone have suggestion on how to keep a cold blooded creature alive without power?

Ssarak Dyreackthanose

---

Ssarak had been in his new room for a while, without interruption, and was using the chance to meditate and clear his mind. Just as the gargoyles had described, touching the rune in his room molded it, or at least half of it, to his desires, which were fairly simple. He now had a large bed which could accommodate his size, as well as an armor rack and weapon display. There was now a large floor mat that seemed to be made from the skin of a creature native to the Scorched Lands, much like the ones that were often used in his village growing up. Besides that, the largest, and perhaps most welcome change was the fact that his part of the room was significantly warmer than the rest of the college, closer to what he was used to in his own homeland.

Ssarak had placed his armor and weapons on the display racks and was now wearing a pair of tough leather pants, and a sleeveless vest of the same material. They were moderately worn by this point, as he had been using them since leaving the Scorched Lands, but they were made to be durable. For a while after preparing his room, he simply sat on his bed, closing his eyes and clearing his mind. There would be a lot he would need to worry about over the coming months, but for the moment, he needed not do anything but relax.

Once the door opened Ssarak opened his eyes and stood up from his bed. The human who entered seemed confused and fatigued, but he was at least trying to be polite, it seemed. The implications of what happened with Aruna before did not immediately click in his mind, so his first reaction was to return the greeting and shake the man’s hand.

“Greetings, I am Ssarak Dyreackthanose and…wait.” He began before remembering what Aruna had implied. He immediately pulled back his hand and a nervous expression came over his face. If being a roommate had such an intimate meaning to humans, then what did this man intend? Were humans incredibly forward and open with strangers? Did they even have the same concept of what a relationship was as the Esyire? Nothing made sense to Ssarak, and he was very obviously confused. “I…when I asked Aruna to be roommates, she grew angered, I mean, she said…or implied, or…” He started, his stammering becoming more and more incoherent.

Ssarak took a few steps back, nearly tripping over his bed. “Aruna said being roommates was intimate for humans, and I…I mean I don’t...I am not interested in a relationship.” He said awkwardly.

I'm writing a response and I'm wondering, would the rune that customizes rooms also be able to make part of a room significantly warmer?
