@gcoldDo the Kamal have archers, or anything long-range, asides from the ice bolt missiles on their boats?

Their alloy is actually somewhere between adamantium and stalhrim.

Oh quit yer nitpickin' ye wee glassey lad, Cromwell's Ironsides didn't have sides of iron did they?

Oh... well... alright. And here I was, all excited.

I've posted Niernen's sheet in the characters tab. I'll read up on the last, say, two pages of the RP, but is it possible to get a quick summary of what's happened and where the company is now?

@Hank

We lost half our men killing Irishmen high on roots and now we're getting our asses kicked by an army of sapient frost trolls fully clad in iron who are ushering in a magical industrial era.

If anyone wants to kill giants with Jorwen, you know where to find me.

@Leidenschaft

I'm up for it.

I have Heal Minor Wounds, if that counts. I'm not sure how you'd fluff it. Got it for my character's headaches.

A lot of people are going to need serious fix-ups real soon.

@gcold

At least Sadri knows where to get spiffy new limbs.

Technically, Tamriel already reached space age 1000 years ago.

@gcold

These ships, approximately what Bretons called sloops, or Corvettes, per Dominion designation, had two masts and a chimney on deck. Dull grey metals overlay much of of the hull, though the masts and parts of the decks were made from blackened wood. Their shapes were elongated ovals, with bulges in front and back the height of two story buildings serving as upper deck

These ships are more like proto-ironclads. The twelve ships we see coming to Windhelm are only part of their fleet. Because the White River is shallower and narrower than the Sea of Ghosts, only lighter vessels can squeeze through. There might be true ironclads somewhere else, but the assault ships are built from wooden foundations, with metal armor fused on. They have some sort of magical self-propulsion, but still relies on sails frequently. These things have firing ports occupied by magical weapons, kind of like enlarged version of the projectile shooting crystals in Skyrim dungeons.

Kamal themselves are around 2.5 meter/8'6 tall, covered head to toe in deep blue metal armor. The body armor is made from similar alloy as their ships. They do not show an inch of their skin/fur/hide, or whatever is underneath. They are also as intelligent as everyone else on Tamriel.

I might write an in-universe article explaining these guys.

@gcold

So just a small army of these guys?
