Wouldn't it be better to focus on stealth?

Nah. We aren't stealthy. We're full-on warrior, not rogue. No sneak attacks from us. If we had a bow, maybe. But as is it's going to notice us before the actual combat round begins.

Of course, if you want to cross into stealth, then put that in your vote instead of singing.

But think of the morale! And our image! Both are important. We can stop devoting brain-power to our singing when we actually fight, but no harm in a battle chant on the way :D

Whose morale? The ladies? They'd probably think we're insane. Well, more insane because despite being a Daedra of Order we are farthest thing from that. You want to improve our image? Stop singing. Or does making light of the lives of our companions seem like fun to you? We asked them to come, made them to come for our own selfish whims. At least offer them a shred of respect by being serious when the situation demands. We almost lost our life, next time it could be one of them. [/Uber Roleplayer]​

Sneaking consists not only of sneak attacks, but of not letting our opponents know we're coming. We can be quiet. There's a chance it won't notice us, but if you sing it'll hear you long before you come. Remember, when you're singing for morale, the undead are preparing. When you're goofing off with traps, the undead are preparing. When you're looting up the room, the undead are preparing.

I'm honestly not expecting a body-building über-soldier here. A tougher than normal zombie at one extreme, or another wimpy dog on the other end. There's not a lot of preparing it can do.

I am, however, expecting the scene to go something along the lines of "you walk into the room, it looks like this. An enemy turns to face you, it looks like this. What do?"

Unless we specifically vote to sneak, then that scene will be the same whether we sing or not. And even then it might be the same if we fail our roll. I mean, we're a walking suit of armor. Of crystal armor. Can we get any less sneaky?

As for morale and image? My morale, obviously, and the image I'm trying to convey is that we're still the same crazy old us. If they don't give us a 'wtf' glance at least once in every scene, then we need to step it up.

Actually I'm just trying to make this my thing. 80% reasonable, useful vote, with a portion of inanity to keep it fresh.

Practicing our acrobatics skill by jumping constantly, poking at our face to determine the exact location, range and peripheral vision granted to us in our unique circumstance (can we see through our armor? Could we see through the back of our head, or through our knees with practice?), singing loudly to attract the attention of our foes and therefore direct attention off of our un-armored allies... Essentially a taunt skill for dummies.

Practical, silly, and practically silly. Perfect.

Soon we'll start seeing how many things we can absorb into our armor, or if we can break peices of ourselves off and forge that into actual armor for our companions... Or an extra 'dead' layer for ourselves.

Ok, I didn't like most of what you said there, but mining ourselves for ore?

That is, somehow, something I want to try, no matter how stupid it sounds.

Well... it's not a wolf-zombie

    • You check the room one more time. Nothing jumps out at you as being wrong or concerning or potentially lootable. Right, time to deal with that undead whatever Morlia saw through the wall. The dagger of turn undead settles into your hand, much lighter than your sword but pretty comforting all the same. The amulet sort of oozes out of the crystal around around the base of your helm. It can't quite hang around your neck, the chain isn't long enough, hopefully that'll help in some way. If not you'll probably give it to Diana.

    "Right, stay behind me. We're going into a fight and we're going to be prepared for it." You say very seriously to them. "You both good?"

    "We're prepared, if that's what you mean." Morlia answers quietly, dare you think dangerously.

    "Yep, let's go." You sing and start walking to the empty arch. Diana and Morlia follow behind you but not right behind you, just close enough to cover you. You progress carefully, focusing on the stone ahead of you. Something catches the light and you freeze. There's a tripwire across the next empty door frame come archway.

    "Careful here, don't touch the wire. Might be useful for leading the whatever back into." You tell them and step carefully over the wire. Morlia and Diana follow suit, you offer them a hand each with it. Diana grabs on Morlia doesn't.

    You hear something, a scrape of fabric or leather on stone. "Fast look out!" Morlia screams and you lurch backwards.

    A freezing hand locks around your forearm regardless. A pale skinned man, his eyes scarlet and wild, bares huge, stiletto sharp fangs at you like an animal. A vampire... great. Scarlet strands of something, magical energy maybe, rip out of your crystal arm and sink into the vampire's chest.

    Something like cunning flickers to life in its eyes and they shift towards Morlia. The vampire licks its lips.

    • [X] use the arm that vamp grabbed to grab it
    [X] Who has who Leach!
    [X] stab in chest with weapon in freehand
    [X] with it effectively locked down( andand only if it is locked down) turn it around so Moria can flambé it (it's week to fire and we're made of Crystal it will give out first)
    [X] Make sure she knows to fire blast it!

    [X] once the above is done throw it away from the mages Cast heal and engage once more.

    [X] Stab in heart with free hand.

    I don't know if it has our sword-arm, or our left. Actually, I don't know if we put away our crystal sword, or are wielding both.

    Either way, a good sharp object to the heart tends to work well on vampires. Dagger or Sword.

    It's also gone and locked itself in place, and even turned away from us, silly Billy.

    You and I think alike, apparently.

    We should make sure to grab it as well just to make absolutely sure it doesn't Dodge.

    Also Fire fire works very well.
     
    [X] It thinks it can ignore the large, armored Daedra in favour of attacking the female mer. Teach it the error of its ways by headbutting it.

    -[X] Have the dagger sticking out of our head like a Unicorn horn (if it doesn't take too long) while we do so.
     
    [X] Use the grasped arm to sieze the vampire in turn.
    [X] Power attack with the weapon in the free hand, trying to impale the vampire through the chest.
    -[X] Attempt to manhandle it into a position where the others can get a clear shot at it.
    --[X] Calmly and politely request that they kill it with fire, and keep pinning it and power attacking wherever possible.

    I think it could be gainful to act unruffled, so as to put the others at ease.

    • You clamp your hand around its arm. "Now who's got who, leech?" You ask it savagely and the dagger melts into your armour. You really hope this works and you concentrate on having it emerge from your face like a unicorn's horn. Seems appropriate since those are savage buggers in Oblivion as far as you recall.

    Your face feels kinda... weird, a pressure right between where your eyes should be. That probably means it' s working, right? Without another thought you ram your helmet-face into the vampire's. Teach him a lesson about turning away from you!

    Your face meets his with an almighty crack, like you just smashed two coconuts together, and the creature screams. Drawing back, a little dazed, you catch sight of a hole in the side of the vampire's face. You've gouged out most of its cheek it seems and taken a chunk of skull out as well. That's.... kinda gross actually. Its eyes focus back on you and snarls something, a word maybe, and your world is pain.

    Red floods out of you, great ropy strings of it that just dissipate into the air rather than into the vampire. It's feels like something's just taken an ice cream scoop to your insides and carved out a chunk leaving you partly empty. You still cling to the creature, pain tightening your hold, and no matter how it struggles it can't get free.

    "Set it on fire! Set it on fire!" You shout desperately you don't want to go through whatever the fuck that spell was again.

    Morlia, Diana and the scamp all open fire on the vampire. Your two friends with considerably more hate on their faces than the scamp. Little creature just looks terrified.

    The vampire briefly becomes a tower of fire and you yank your hands back just in case you're more flammable than you thought. Then the thing collapses into dust and ashes and the flames wink out.

    "Good work team." You say weakly. "Also, owwww."

    Gonna admit, become a unicorn plan won because I found it hilarious and demonstrated that yes, you can abuse the absorb loot feature to an extent.
