The point is it will be if we literally stop caring about being unsummoned and making sure we aren't.

You guys have enough advantages without a highly abusable respawn mechanic and that's the last I'll say. I need to work an update for my other quest now, please save your questions to me until I post an update here or step into a discussion. Thank you.

Fast Enough or Fast for short
  • Threadmarks
    • Putting aside her rudeness, for now, you find an answer for her with surprising speed all things considered. "You are interacting with a Knight of Order, one of the daedra of Jyggalag. This particular Knight has the... quirk of having their actions controlled by the sum of the decisions made by a bunch of unruly entities from elsewhere. We are..." you pause then figure you may as well straight up admit it.

    "We're basically just fucking with him for shits and giggles. I don't think the Knight actually has a name, but the gaggle of twats who are in control are collectively known as Sufficient Velocity." You announce, puffing your crystalline chest out proudly. The elf frowns at you.

    "You're called... Fast Enough?" She asks and you very nearly fall flat on your face.

    "No it's Sufficient Velocity." You insist, pronouncing each word carefully. She frowns more.

    "That's what you just said, Fast Enough." You try the name again, this time you listen to what you're actually saying. Sure enough you hear yourself telling her that your name is Fast Enough. Damn it!

    "Urgh fine, stupid translation mechanic," you grumble. "Anyway, since we like you, you can call us Fast for short." Velocity sounds waaaay better but alas you can't get that translated for some reason.

    "Okay then," the elf says slowly. "You will refer to me as Morlia Ardyn, not elf." Like you're going to remember that among all the other names bouncing around in your head.

    "Uh huh, anyway, giving us actions that involve us staying anywhere and not causing a ruckus would be problematic and unwise. Just throwing it out there." She should probably have worked that out by herself. Maybe she has, considering she tried to order you to go to sleep or whatever daedra do to try and pass the time peacefully.

    "As for the rest of us...!" It's only polite to introduce everyone in your head to everyone outside it after all. Morlia's eyes bulge.

    "Please no," she whispers. You carry on regardless. You're being polite, she should approve!

    "There's bell, stacy, her, Jane—hey!—Right,Janie, Bob, Taint, Dark Ness, JOOOOHN CEEEENAAAAAH!"

    "Shut up, that's enough!" Morlia Shouts back at you, hands over her ears after you conveyed the legend that is JOOOOHN CEEEENAAAAAH! "Just... just please, be quiet and wait for morning in the stables, or around the stables. I don't care what you do precisely so long as you're quiet about it."

    She does look like she needs to get some sleep and now's as good a time as any to figure if daedra can sleep. You walk her back to the inn then find the small stable just off it to the left. You enter and discover that the other occupants are a pair of mangy looking chestnut horses munching slowly on some hay. They don't look very friendly.

    You sit down in a corner far away from them and try to close your eyes.... Since you don't have any it doesn't actually work. You sigh and attempt to focus on nothing, like you're supposed to do when you meditate.

    Curiously while you sit there focusing on nothing but the argument that is your mind you start to feel better. No that's not the word. You feel less worn down and the lingering cold from the frost spells you tanked slowly vanishes. By the morning you feel back to where you were when you were summoned. Neat.

    "Come along Fast," Morlia appears in the doorway to the stable, "time to go to Kvatch a-and start looking for clues." Her lip trembles a little but she doesn't start crying again.

    [ ] What, if anything, do you do on the way to Kvatch?

    I am returned! Y'all can bug me again if you want.

    Then wait til the oblivion crisis, plenty of gates then. alternately, take a side quest to Solstheim and grab one of the Black Books.

    [X] Actually keep alert for threats and actively guard Morlia. Better not to be caught off guard again, especially since IcyBritches is still at large.
    -[X] before we leave, ask Morlia if she has any spell books, as we are currently without inherent spells.
    -[X] If we do manage to source some spell books, read during periods where Morlia has to rest.
    -[X] Otherwise, practice our sword drills during those periods.
    --[X] "although, I don't know why we need to go to Kvatch. That statue near Leyawiin? it can call down the power of the Divine. its said that whoever completes the task it asks will be granted an artifact that would turn all your foes into sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

    How's this sound? I'd rather not get suckerpunched again, and throwing in some practice is useful.
     
    [x] Sword practice, and also jump like walking is going out of style. By the time we reach kvatch, if we can't leap over a horse, then we've been slacking.
    -[x] but don't forget to wave our sword around. That part is important.

    Needs more jumping.

    Seriously, when I played oblivion, I didn't ever not jump.

    Being unsummoned would send you back to where you came from. In this case that is where ever Knights are when Jyggalag hasnt called them into being yet, not to a normal plane of oblivion

    Mostly agree.

    I think jumping is perfectly practical, thank you.
     
    So basically we have realise how to act sane: we just need to have a decent consensus on doing something sensible.

    I forget, whose is the statue near Leyawin?

    And if you actually want to convince her, the thing to do would be convince the rest of us of its necessity or usefulness, then get a unite vote to explain what you are proposing and why it is a good idea. Anything less than that she will likely just disregard as another instance of us being crazy.

    its Sheogorath's. truthfully, the wabbajack isn't that impressive. its just the one with the least reprehensible requirements.

    the reason I want to get her there is both so we can do a Sheogorath quest line (He's my favorite Daedra, and if we impress him, he probably won't smite us), and for the trolling opportunities. I mean, think of the looks on both their faces...

    Hmmm....

    It has pretty much even odds of turning stuff into a powerful daedra, although you can repeatedly wabbajack someone until they are harmless, then kill them in the 30-second window until they revert.

    It would be a way of neutralising far stronger opponents, albeit risky.

    If we handled this right, that might actually be reasonable.

    Everyone who voted for my vote, or a derivative thereof, may I ask you to consider the following revision?

    [X] During the journey, tell Morlia the following: "I have been considering the fact that the Dark Brotherhood has individuals that are more powerful than either of us. I know of an artefact that provides a way of triumphing against a far superior foe, but you are unlikely to like it. There is a staff called the Wabbajack, which randomly transforms anyone struck by its effect for half a minute, and while some of the forms are quite dangerous, it is possible to repeatedly apply it until you get something harmless. The ability to turn elite dark brotherhood assassins into defenceless sheep would be invaluable to our quest, but acquiring it means interacting with Sheogorath. If ever you deem it worthwhile, the path to find it starts at the statue outside Leyawin."

    @Xyzarach, I think that this vote will have a much higher chance of convincing her than yours. She is highly unlikely to just take our word for something that sounds too good to be true, but a detailed explanation explaining the limitations, problems, and indispensable benefits may very well sway her.



    I can just imagine the meeting with Sheogorath, after Morlia has been hanging out with us for long enough:
    Sheogorath does random shit, and his whole loony act.
    Morlia just looks at him, more tired than anything else. "Yeah, whatever, what do you want us to do in exchange for your magic staff?"
    Sheogorath, pouting: "You're no fun."
    Morlia: "Yeah whatever. Your antics are too tame and too stale to get a rise out of me right now."
    Sheogorath: o_0
