I loaded up Oblivion and bought the Telekinesis spell. After making a trip to the spell alter you can cast a Tel spell at novice level as long as it doesn't go over these specs. [[ 15ft for 11 secs on target. ]] If you push either the distance or duration any higher and it becomes an Apprentice level skill. Given that Neven is an Apprentice in the Mages Guild he would have access to the spell alter at The Arcane University to make his own custom spell.

Ok to clear things up coz I think you are a bit confused on the rolling rules Neven.

I rolled to try and take ONE of Eliya's bottles.
Jaydine's roll determines if she defends that bottle from Marilien's attempt.
If she wins the roll, she defends her bottle.
She DOESN'T get to take Marilien's bottle. That is a seperate roll.

At the same time, you have now rolled to try and take Marilien's bottle.
I get to roll to defend it.
If I win, Marilien keeps her bottle, but I DO NOT get to take a bottle from Neven. That would also be a seperate roll.

Na no need I'm on the same page now. I know what I said before in one of my previous post's but it was like deep down my brain knew the rules and thus gave Mish the option to defend.

So now I find myself wondering... do we have a rule that says you can only roll once per post? I mean....considering all the close contact going on, my first roll will be to defend against Marilien, but considering the close proximity she could also roll for Nevan couldn't she? But gaia only lets you roll once per post so... it would have to be another separate ooc post.

I don't have a problem with it being one per post, that way makes sense. I just got to thinking, what if say we still had five people roleplaying this quest and all the sudden we were in a cluster f*** like we are now and suppose two different people rolled for Eliya's bottle, couldn't that be a problem? Or do we have a rule that states only one person can go for a bottle at a time? Hmmm....

I need to go review the rules and try to get this post in asap.

Nerevar - what you are saying about that spell makes sense, I was just going off of the spells listed on TES wiki.... I need to chat with Brax and Joker and see if characters are allowed to make custom spells...it MAKES SENSE since they are at the Arcane University and it is available in game, but it hasn't really been brought up until this point.

Don't worry about changing anything, this is just another good point to bring up and discuss among crew.

Just posted. Rolled a 16 so Eliya keeps her bottle from Marilien. I suppose Marilien can try again for her other bottle still though if she wants?

Not the best post but its a post. I find I have difficulty writing fighting sequences in rp and don't really like it too much...i just have a hard time with timing, space ect. blah.

So now i'm thinking about this whole rolling thing and I find myself thinking, 'what if marilien decides to go for Eliya's bottle again, or Nevan turn on Eliya and aims for one of her bottles? In my next post I would again have to defend and don't have the opportunity to lunge for one of theirs....hence the thought on being able to roll more than once per post. Meh. I dunno.

anyways.

now misthral can post again!

You should get an opportunity now since Neven gets to do something to take Mari's bottle and Mari had to let him.

So if I have this correct

[Green Bottle] Neven. [Contestants] Eliya, Marilien.
[Red Bottle] Neven [Contestants] Eliya, Marilien
[Blue Bottle] Eliya [Contestants] Neven, Marilien
[Yellow Bottle] Eliya [Contestants] Neven, Marilien
[Purple Bottle] N/a [Contestants] Neven, Eliya, Marilien.

Also I posted again.
Just to make it clear, I couldn't decide on how to end my post.
I thought if I let Eliya's spell hit then, that could be used to explain how Neven got the bottle off Marilien, if Mari lost the roll.
However if I won, and let the spell hit, that would hard to explain on Neven's part how he lost.
So I just posted a partially finished post, to roll and ended the post based on the roll. Obviously I lost, so I had the spell hit Marilien. Had I won, then I wouldn't have let it hit her.

Hope that makes sense.

Also to answer Jaydine's question about if 2 people rolled at the same time for Eliya's bottle.
The answer is simple.
Eliya's roll would have to beat BOTH the contenders.
If neither contestant managed to roll higher than Eliya she keeps the bottle.
If one rolled lower but one rolled higher, the higher would take the bottle.
If they both rolled higher than Eliya, then it would be highest roll who won.

Would go something like this.

Person A - has a bottle.
Person B rolls 50 for it
Person C rolls 72 for it
Person A rolls 12 to defend it.

Person B roleplays taking the bottle, but in Person C's post they can just slap person B in the face and automatically take the bottle.
Both Person A and Person B will have lost their right to carry the bottle in that one fight.

Make sense?

That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying that. I also had this thought, as I also found myself having a difficult time with my post, not knowing what my roll would be (though honestly I figured Eliya would win since you rolled a two) so what if we posted just a roll for the dice, and then based on that roll, followed it up with a post?

Well I just did something similar. So I guess it is fine.

Nerevar - what you are saying about that spell makes sense, I was just going off of the spells listed on TES wiki.... I need to chat with Brax and Joker and see if characters are allowed to make custom spells...it MAKES SENSE since they are at the Arcane University and it is available in game, but it hasn't really been brought up until this point.

Don't worry about changing anything, this is just another good point to bring up and discuss among crew.




That's where I checked 1st as well, but then I remember that based on the settings when crafting a spell it could range from Novice all the way to Master. Since I joined it seems that my post's or other things have created topics that need to be discussed with the crew since they hadn't been discussed in the past.

Yes you have brought up good points.

So customized spells were discussed among myself joker and brax, we have pretty mutually concluded that customized spells are not available at this point, and we would like to get a system up for that similar to enchanting, as it would cost gold ect. So perhaps in the future it may be opened up as an opportunity, but for now everyone needs to stick to the spells and associated levels on the wiki. Don't worry about editing your post though or anything. Just keep that in mind.

Fair enough.

Just a suggestion, but its easier to just roll 1st, leaving your actual post blank or put like TBE in the message box since Gaia wont let you post a blank post. That way you know what you rolled, that way there is no confusion on your part about not knowing what to write. That's what I did for my last post, and any time that I have to use a random number/roll generator.

Yeah I actually suggested that a few posts above yours. XP

Um so in regards to your last post....it kinda seems like you auto hit marilien....I could wait for misthral to say something, but you kinda power controlled her character. (unless she gave you permission?) Which is a major no no. :/

Guess I missed that. sweatdrop

Well I did win the roll so I thought that allowed me to decide what happens in regards to claiming the bottle? If that's not the case then I'll gladly edit my post.

It's fine, I'm gonna let Mari go with the blow, pretend to be down.
And jump him when he turns for his bottle.

Btw Jaydine has already mentioned that she is bored with this quest to me. Obviously coz a lot of people dropped out. Or the rules are a bit messed up, I don't know.

But I have an idea if everyone is willing.
We could introduce a 6th bottle.
Let everyone walk away with 2.
I'll still jump Neven, and see if she wins the green one back but if not, Mari can either fight Eliya or i'll post a long one about her killing some more vampires and finding the last two bottles.
Or if Mari wins the green then Neven and Eliya can fight for a bit. I don't mind. razz but either way, everyone walks out with 2 and you can continue brawling as long as you want, or don't want to.

Though if Mari loses again for the green bottle, that means she has lost every bloody roll and it's getting rather out of character for her to lose so much and not get bloodthirsty and vengful. ><

Then we could, in theory, wrap this up fairly quickly.

If everyone is game?
