Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I personally don't care about guns, but Lucius does have a good point. If this world has things that explode forcefully enough, then observation would show that it propels things very quickly. Once you have that, it does not take much imagination to try and force something quickly in one direction, then make it more powerful/compact/efficient. Honestly, if we have things that explode, then it would be harder to explain not having something of that nature than actually having it, as it would mean that no one has any real imagination. Of course, that wouldn't mean they would have firearms as we think of them. Cannons, perhaps?

I posted Kilith approaching him .

Kilith continued making the rounds and the various inns and taverns across town, finding a few individuals who agreed to attend the meeting later that night.By this point, they probably had enough of a crew to successfully man the ship, but it was still a good idea to keep recruiting, just in case. Once he was back at the Blackwood Brew, Kilith bought himself a drink and started to relax for a few minutes before being interrupted by one of his men approaching him. The fellow guild member gave him a revised list of new arrivals to the town that they had determined would be suitable.

Kilith reluctantly scanned the tavern for people on the list, though he spotted only one that matched any of the descriptions: a very young looking Bosmer. He probably didn't have too much experience, but a ship always needed a few low-paid grunts to pad out the ranks and do some of the less appealing jobs, and who knows, maybe he would even be good in a fight. Kilith got up from his spot at the bar and approached the Bosmer, who was sharpening one of his daggers. "Hey kid, you looking for work?"

Hey Hail, if Leon hasn't posted by the time you are able to, I don't think he would mind if you assumed Kayal also left, that way you wouldn't have to wait.

Ah, need to stop forgetting to send Kilith after our newest character. I'll edit that in before I go to bed.

Sharee used a pinch of fire salts to light a small fire under her alembic, then continued to smash up the flowers into a fine paste. There wasn't anything really in the way of actual alchemy to making dyes, but there was a bit of it involved in the concoction she used to change her eye color. As she worked, she looked over to Allaina and chuckled. "Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. You don't need to worry about appeasing the Imperials' sense of modesty. Besides, you're meant to be making a distraction; maybe it will help you to grab their attention." She joked as she prepared to mix the crushed flowers together.

"At any rate, I've been in this town for a while, so I know my way around the area. You may want to plan your distraction, though. Oh, and before you go do that, I'd like to speak to you alone for a moment, Allaina. You two can wait for her downstairs." Sharee said, looking at Kayal and Tagorn.

I think she would get along with Ssarak just fine. Though, while he's unarmed now, she might feel nervous approaching him while he is carrying a his primary weapon, an instrument that just happens to be perfect for chopping down trees.

That collab reminded me of the accidental mind reading novice psychomancers are sometimes prone to. I should probably have Ssarak experience that at some point, since he does have some degree of experience with his blood, and, as they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Elder Scrolls: Terror of the Padomaic

Not much, just awaiting posts currently. Sharee is preparing herself for the breakout. Kayal, Tagorn, and Allaina need to plan their distraction, though Sharee will probably want to speak to Allaina privately first.

I am curious to see what kind of distraction you guys come up with.

Ssarak Dyreackthanose

"Do not worry, I intend to be as cautious as possible from this point forward to avoid any other misunderstandings. Perhaps you could explain some of the finer points of Human culture, if you would like to help with that endeavor. And...thank you. I do not think I need to say how embarrassing that entire situation was for me, and no doubt you as well. Give me a moment to collect my meal and I will be glad to take that seat." Ssarak responded, bowing once more before stepping away to grab a plate.

Ssarak moved quickly around the room, searching for interesting foods to try. He saw a few dishes with ingredients from the Scorched Lands, but as he was already well-familiar with their tastes, he passed them up in favor other dishes he had not seen before. Even so, he tended to stick with cuts of meat, or at least meat based dishes, as it was rather difficult for him to eat fruits and vegetables with teeth that were designed for cutting and tearing. Most of the cuts of meat looked pretty much the same as those from creatures in the Scorched Lands, but it was easy to tell by their scents if they were from different creatures. Grabbing one of the largest plates available, he filled about half of it with three large cuts of meat from three separate animals, then moved on to the selections of seafood. Since leaving his homeland, Ssarak had become somewhat obsessed with the water and the creatures that resided in it. His homeland did not have bodies of water large enough, or stable enough to support any sort of underwater ecology, and he found that aquatic creatures had entirely different tastes and textures from anything that lived on land. When he first arrived in Human lands, he was surprised and excited to find that they had lakes and rivers in which one could actually swim. He nearly drowned the first time he stepped into the water, but he had since learned to swim decently well.

Once Ssarak had his food, he walked over to another table to grab a drink. Just as before, there were a plethora of options, but he finally decided on a bottle of Ember, something to add just a touch of his homeland to his overall experience. He quickly returned to Aruna and took the seat she had offered, though he did not begin eating immediately, instead deciding to observe the others around him first to make sure there were no Human traditions he needed to be following in regards to beginning his meal.

"This feast is certainly spectacular, like nothing I have seen before. I look forward to the magic demonstrations, especially that of the psychomancy instructor. I am eager to see what I might be capable of in the future." Ssarak commented.
