See? Less paper is good for everyone. ;D

@Dervish

I wonder if one can say that while in the toilet.

It's not unlike the whole Aryian Master Race thing the Nazis were all keen about, only in this case with a basis in legitimate claim to racial purity unlike whatever it was the Nazis were claiming.

@Peik Excellent. Makes sense for Narzul to go to another Dunmer for information. I'll hit you up when I'm ready to collab, alright?

@Hank

My second character Narzul Venim, brother of Niernen, has been added to the Characters tab.

EDIT: My opening post for Narzul will involve him reaching Dawnstar after following a lead from the Tamrielic Gazette, namely Madura's interview with Niernen from way back in Windhelm. Would anyone like to collab with me for that bit and have their character be the one that Narzul runs into first?

@Hank

I don't have a post in the works so why not.

Yeah, let's not worry about draw weight too much in a universe where a race of scrawny elves are the best archers of all time.

GM posted something in the interest check about how there are two more available slots, and I'm interested, but...

How do you even summarize a whole year of writing? It's kinda daunting. Is the "story in pictures" on the front page all I gotta know to get caught up? What has happened lately? Dang. I've seen the name of the RP around and kept wanting to look, but always figured it was too far long for me to really get into it.

@Spoopy Scary

You don't need to read the entire IC, or have a very good idea of what's going on, in my opinion (we're mercenaries after all, don't care for politics). Practically, we started off as a simple Mercenary party cleaning the Reach, but after returning to Windhelm from our first mission, Skyrim (and seemingly the rest of East Tamriel) begun getting invaded by the Kamal (there are some references to other races being in the fight as well, haven't faced them yet), who have allied themselves with the Nerevarine, who is also the King of Morrowind after having returned from Akavir.

We're at an RnR episode right now, with all of the surviving group in Dawnstar.

@Frizan does this shit better but I like your spooky scary skeletons schtick so there ya go

I wasn't implying that you'd need to be an Olympian to shoot a bow of that weight. I've known a few people who can shoot that weight easily and are not in the best shape. What I'm saying is, Alaron is skinny is he not? Typically, it is easier for thin people to do pull-ups/chin-ups even when they're not muscle bound because they don't have to lift as much weight. While I can believe that even with sporadic practice, Alaron could become decent with a bow, I find it hard to believe that he could not pull himself up.

In addition to this, a bow that is designed to kill Man or Mer (based on the English Longbow) is anywhere from 70-90 lbs of draw weight. OR, if we were to base the draw weight on the infamous Mongolian bows, 100-160 lbs (Insanely powerful).

So the real question here, is what type of bow does Alaron typically use? If it were a hunting bow (50-60) I could believe him not able to do many pull-ups/chin-ups, but I insist he would be able to do at least one. If he uses bows designed for war, he would definitely be a lot stronger. But from what you describe of him, it seems he favors the lighter hunting bow.

<Snipped quote by Chrononaut>

Sounds pretty reasonable! I keep forgetting the modern definition doesn't necessarily apply.

@Dervish

Sloth's more accurate description is more a lack of drive and unwillingness (and skepticism) in general rather than plain laziness, from what I understand.

LABELING IS MANDATORY

@Hank

See, I was thinking wrath or pride because he enjoys fighting and hurting his enemies, but he still knows when to stop himself and he's kind of a pacifist to some degree, or pride because if you squint he's definitely much more at peace with what he his grown into rather than who he used to be, but he's way more on the humble side and doesn't really assert himself unless he needs to.

Wut do

@Dervish

It's not like characters have to have defining qualities, do they?
