"Name's Sharee-Mar. I'm an independent contractor, a mercenary, and I think I can ask you the same question. Who are you, and how did you get out here?" Sharee asked, wanting to know what kind of a place this girl came from. If she knew how wealthy her or her family was, then she would know how polite she would have to be through the entire ordeal. If it was worth it, she would need to make sure to make a better impression than the Breton man. She wasn't going to let him take any of the credit when she was the one who did all of the hard work.

You don't need to worry about your bio meeting some great standard. I have RPed with you before, so I know you are a good writer, and I understand if you don't want to reveal everything up front. I would prefer, though, that you do put a basic bio up. It doesn't need to be anything exceptional.

Sharee had been listening to the exchange between the Breton and the Bosmer girl while she was looting the corpses. He seemed to be taking care of the cuts and bruises she had sustained, so at least Sharee wouldn't have to worry about dealing with that. The bodies did have sort of a decent amount of gold on them, 23 coins, but it wasn't near as much as she was hoping for. She could at least take the horses back to town and sell them for a good profit, though one of them was currently laying on the ground exhausted due tot he poison she had used, and the Bosmer wasn't doing much better. She seemed exhausted and was barely able to give any attention to the Breton man. Normally, Sharee wouldn't care, but she was rather impatient to get back to town, and she wanted to know how much of a reward this Bosmer would be giving her for the rescue.

Sharee walked up to the other two, looking down on the Bosmer as she though about how she wanted to approach this.The poison had obviously fatigued the girl, and Sharee did have a potion in her bag that could remedy that, but she didn't know if she wanted to just give it away. Of course, ingredients for stamina potions were common and cheap, and she really didn't want to have to wait until the Bosmer had rested up to talk to her, so Sharee eventually decided it was a worthwhile sacrifice.

"It looks like she got caught in a poison I used to take out the slavers. Drain stamina, non lethal, but effective at bringing your opponent to a standstill. Here, I got something that will fix that." Sharee said as she removed a vial filled with a green liquid and offered it to the Bosmer girl. As she wanted to make a good impression to maximize her potential reward, she was maintaining a very friendly, caring demeanor. If her time as an assassin had taught her anything, it was how to be a good actor. "I didn't mix it with water, so it'll taste like rat urine, but it'll give you a pretty great boost of energy."

Yes, just like there.

I think I would like to make a point about magic healing, while it is on my mind. Generally for RPs, I tend to prefer a more involved version of healing than what is portrayed in the games. For cuts and bruises like what Allaina received, they could be healed pretty much immediately by a skilled healer, but for more serious wounds, like stab wounds and major lacerations, I prefer that it take a bit more time. A skilled healer can still heal these types of wounds completely, but it might be that they have to be given overnight attention periodically, instead of it taking approximately 3 seconds. The same applies to diseases and such. Potions would also work the same way.

I just got my new computer and am incredibly excited. It has 8 times as many processors, and 8 times the RAM of my laptop. I'm installing Skyrim right now. At any rate, this is the first time I've been home all day, so I'll get to reading now.

Elder Scrolls: Terror of the Padomaic

Yeah, this is the first time I've been able to load the site all day.

As the tavern is a gathering place of people, I don't consider it a coincidence.

Sharee searched the fat man's body until he found his bag, hoping there was something inside to make her efforts worth it. There were a few sheets of parchment and other mundane items scattered about in the bag, but there was a small likely looking pouch inside. She opened the coinpurse excitedly, but then quickly turned to cursing to herself when she saw that there were less than ten coins inside. The man's clothes were more valuable than that, and if the other one didn't have anything of value on him as well, he would probably end up taking them, along with one of the horses, and selling them off.

Sharee was just finishing up searching the fat man when heard faint rustling in the trees behind her. She turned around just before a Breton man emerged from the forest, asking what she was doing. He was armed, though he kept his weapons sheathed. For a moment, she glared at him annoyed, as she really didn't want to have to deal with anyone coming along and trying to claim what little loot she had. Or even worse, a self-righteous hero who jumped to conclusions and mistook her for a theiving murderer. She was a theiving murderer, but he would have no way of knowing that.

"Just a little righteous justice. Everything is taken care of here, unless you're about to tell me that you are friends with these two slavers. If that is the case, I should probably get to killing you. Otherwise, keep your hands off the loot until I'm done." Sharee responded, not taking her eyes off of him. As always, she was ready to react in an instant.

Ah, finally, I can load the site. Anyway, I don't think it is too coincidental that a lot of people are meeting up in the tavern. It is a place where people tend to gather, after all. For the stamina draining spell, I do believe being able to instantly incapacitate anyone like that at any time would be overpowered, but there are a few things that can limit it. For one, if you could only cast the strongest version of the spell through touch, then it limits the times where you could use it. Another limiting factor could be magicka cost. Only a very strong version could immediately knock someone out, which would be quite draining. Outside of combat, it wouldn't really matter, but in combat, you have to be a lot more conservative with magicka, so it wouldn't be practical to use the strongest version in a lot of situations. The target was also a young boy, instead of a physically conditioned fighter, so there is that to consider. It would still be quite useful though, even if you're just exhausting them instead of immediately knocking them out, as my latest post demonstrated.
