It's odd, I can load webpages and post without issue, but do anything that involves streaming data, it slows down to Lenny from Of Mice and Men levels.

As for arrows, I always thought any city worth it's salt should have a shitload of ballistas. Nothing sends quite an elegant "up yours" as getting impaled by a 2 meter long shaft of hardwood and hatred.

@Dervish

Hmm, they probably don't want you to torrent the entire Library of Congress on their broadband.

I imagine they do, but I also imagine Skyrim's siege weapons are underdeveloped (at least compared to Cyrodiil), for several reasons:

-Skyrim has less walled cities than Cyrodiil
-The old mentality of "shouting down walls" put catapults on the backburner of Nordic generals
-Skyrim used to rely on the legion for defence, so local "military industry" might be dependent on Imperial City aid
-Mountainous terrains, narrow roadways and heavy snowfall during winter make transporting these things very difficult

@MiddleEarthRoze PM

I'd volunteer for a collab, but I am like 90% sure the hospital wifi isn't fast enough to make using a pad feasible. I can't even sign on Steam or Skype.

@Dervish

I know right? Is like they don't want you to look up treatments beforehand or something...

@gcold

... Utu needs better arrows... lots of better arrows.

@Haeo

_{maybe flaming ones?}

Dragging Felix back is an option for support guys.

For the battle, there's only around 20 enemies on the our part, and under 80 across the docks. We started with 20 guards and 30 mercs, and as Schaft said, probably going down to 10 guards and 20 mercs. This means most unnamed mercs are dead or dying. Reinforcements will come in the next post, numbering in hundreds of guards and militias. The enemies are all skirmishers, sent out to prod and will retreat after their momentum is halted. I'd say we have a decent chance of getting through this.

The real pants-crapping is still to come.

@gcold I hope we didn't lose too many Bothans this time around.

I'll try to get something up the next day or two when I've caught up a bit in sleep; I am still in the hospital and I swear every 2-3 hours around the clock somebody is coming around to talk to me/ poke me with needles/ take my vitals. Even 3 and 4 in the morning have been for the past week, without fail, wake the Derv to steal his lifeforce time.

But I love this giant thing; the past couple posts have been quite exciting reads! Gotta figure out how to make Do'Karth useful here without turning him into kitty paste from a Dark Souls reject.

@Dervish

Best wishes to you, bud, hopefully you're feeling better now. Don't worry about getting posts in right now. Get as much rest as you need, we're not in any hurry and have plenty of time ahead.

Do'Karth is not entirelly useless, provided he stays behind melee guys. A lot of people are going to need serious fix-ups real soon.

Technically, Tamriel already reached space age 1000 years ago.

Where's the thermal exhaust port?

They are built into the walls.
