The Eye of the Tiger!
Thinking back on that fight with that bandit your sword skills kinda sucked. You let go of the thing and got it stuck in a tree! That's an impressive amount of fail. You should probably work on that.

With that in mind you walk over to the door and face away from it. You pull out your sword then do a double take. Didn't you leave it in that devil tree because a certain someone is an impatient drama queen? Well it is useful that it comes back, might be able to weaponise it into a boomerang blade or something. Absently you start humming something appropriate to the situation.

You start with a series of basic swipes and slashes, trying to imitate a really cool flurry style of move you've seen in movies. You swing your sword once, twice, thrice and then again and you're surprised you didn't chop off your own arm or leg or head or wreck a part of the inn. The swings were wild and pretty tiring. Probably not something you'd want to try around people you don't want to horribly maim.

Settling back onto the balls of your feet you pause for a second before hurling yourself into a forward thrust. You let out a loud cry, that's supposed to help with focus or power or something you think. That the music in your head swells at just the right time and that cry sounds suspiciously like 'ofthetiger!' has nothing to do with it at all. Nope, no, not a chance.

That seemed to work fairly well and you decide to try the powerful slash that got your sword embedded in a tree last time. You tighten your grip, humming getting louder as you psyche yourself up to not let go of it this time.

You strike, putting your shoulders and hips into the swing. It goes remarkably well. You feel like you know the weight and reach of the sword better than before and it's not embedded in a tree so that's good.

You let out a triumphant shout, that might sound suspiciously like song lyrics to the untrained ear, and go to try that flurry style of move again. You're confident you can make it work right if you keep trying it. Except....

"What in Onsi's name was that?" You turn and see a gaggle of people, all the races of Tamriel seem to be represented, clustered around the door. Their faces are all a mix of horror and anger and all of them are looking at you.

The elf that summoned you is smacking her palm into her forehead repeatedly and muttering something.

Current votes, there may be an update when my co-gm gets back depending on how late that is. Y u vote for stuff that needs dice? :cry: I'd do it myself but I'm not entirely sure of the actual specifics of how the level up stuff works.

In the mean time... anyone feel like they want an Omake or something, any questions you wanna ask? I'm bored if you hadn't guessed :p
 
I can't tell from the vote count, are we telling them to bother our summoner, or hunting down that tree?

because if you take it by line, and interpret it a certain way, going after the tree beat telling them to bug the elf.
 
.... as in progress towards it. You've already leveled your sword skill once.

That's for me to know and you to wait and see;) Though I try and interpret for longish updates. Only updating for four/five lines of content is not something I like the idea of doing.

In true SV style we will do all of them at once. And fail because of it.
