Where'd Megil get his godmodding license? His school was better than mine.

^ ^, careful planning lol. and only within the area of new vivec. besides currently he has al the magicka of any mage within the city, except of course for ordinators.

So, you basically have defences against everything?

bah, i didnt feel like typing out a longer explanation, the word 'evil' summed it up nicely.


and vivec needs a weakness, megil, you put a lot of thought into vivec outside of the rp. i hope you managed to fit a weakness somewhere in there..... and is that spell possible? teleport on target? well i guess the mages guilds did it....

All magicka? That..is a truth with some modification though....Serene´s coming to Vivec..so beware!

her power will be stripped too.

and mana batteries are not some new concept, fantasy has them all over the place.
besides it is magic, with enough creativity you can do anything.

sigh well I'll post later on tonight, must go to Bio lab now.

Megil, we can talk later so you can go in detail about New Vivec with me. Obviously I won't be exploiting any particular weaknesses we come upon but I need to note them.

Doomed, could you please make another Sul-Matuul post already

maybe megil could just post the workings of the city in here, just for the sake of planning?

alright you want to know the details. well heres goes:
1) the entire undercity is like a huge puzzle that runs on gears and pieces are interchangeable. It links together as a whole, but is subdivided into seperate individual units that can each change independently of the others. with New vivec at 60% finished there are a total of 12 current units that are actually functioning. each one has 10-14 variations and each variation is in place for 6 months. this means that the first subunit tha was functioning is currently gone through 6 variations, and the most recent additions are still on their first variation. so basically the undercity is like a constantly shifting grid. there are individual centers where the gears can be engaged, as well as a central unit in the hidden chamber beneah megil's office that can control all the subunits at once(though this one is used only if the individual subunit controls cannot be accessed. let us say forexample an invasion occurs and one of the control rooms is raided and is no longer under megil's control. it can then be controled from the central unit)
2) as part of this passages in the undercity can become walls as the floor units are lifted upward, so anything in the passage is crushed.
3) the undercity includees false passages, traps(both real and magical), underwater passages.
4)sylphs control the undercity (I.E. they are the ones that control the individual subunits controls) and they also patrol this part of the city, anywhere there is water there are sylphs. due to this a telepathic message from megil to the sylphs( which is a common method of communication between them since they do not surface and have to report to megil) can cause portions or te enitre undercity to be reconfigured on command.
5)magical shields-each undercity subunit and corresponding uppercity subunit has a myriad of magical defenses. the magical shields already encounteed once in the RP. another shield that blocks physical access. When both are active the use of mana and ability to physically leave the area become impossible. and these shields are pretty much spherical so escape in any direction is impossibe.
6)the mana batteries- large stone hidden in the ifrastructure of the undercity. they are the most tightly guarded secret. the door itself is a mechanical pussle that requires several(many) keystones to be entered in the correct order before an inner door is revealed. it is also enchanted so tht tras go off if the wrong keystone is entered in the wrong place. they are essentially located Beneath the undercity, in a double chamber.
.... here like so

umm yah enough for now i'll add some more later lol. and to think i haven;t even finished the udnercity or gone into the upper city.

Ah the complexities continue.

Wow.. talk about detail?

Like a true D&D Dungeon Master...

lol. sad part is I have never played d&d. I'll ad some more lateri have classes right now.

So..you mean Serene´s magic powers will be useless as soon as she enters Vivec?????????????

Hmmmm.....

yes minque that would be the point of the defense.

Ahh but her skills are very useful....as a defense....

geez Megil very complicated I think I got half of it

The flaw to New Vivec, is all the magicka in the world can't effect someone with a 100% reflect, resist magicka or dispell enchantment laid on his stuff.

Of course, such are rare. But still, the only way to drop such warriors would be mundane means, and any fighter with a CE reflect of any level would make magicka use risky, because even with a 1% thats a 1 in one hundred chance that spell might end up burning you to a crisp.

And, the fact that with all the excess magicka in the city, using detect enchantment to find anything would be nigh on impossible. The place would glow like the hamster cave sun.

And a I shudder to think of the effects of breaking a magicka-storage device... O.o

*Ka-booomm...*

*mushroom cloud...*

Okay, here's a possibly weakness we can work out. In order for the ordinators to be allowed to use magic, as well as many other authorized citizens in the city, it's possible there could be a special City-employyee amulet that allows you to use magic. If information of the amulet's ability got out then a group wanting to defeat Megil could murder some oridinators, steal their amulets ands give them to some powerful magic users like anthanes, amili, en'fel or ced, or minque, and wipe them clean.

that would work. nice idea

it's a tattoo not an amulet. made of enchanted ink of course.

and yah destroying a mana battery would be desastrous to say the least, might as well say good bye to any nearby coastal villages, since the wave caused by such an explosion would be huge and powerful, monster tsunami.

Imagine the plot device that is.

LOL. yah except you would first have to learn the existence of the tehe batteries, and then after that you would have to search the undercity(not an easy task in teh least) to locate the chamber beneath, and then you would have to find the system to opened the chamber. all on a moving gridwork that can upon detection of intrusion be changed.

alright some more info:

the outerwalls and gates hav e filaments of enchanted metal that reinforece their structure.

In three hiddne location of the undercity (what in the undercity isn't hidden LOL) are three chambers containing remarkable works of necromancy. they are the three seers of vivec. young prodigys taht sacrified themselves in order to protct the city. they can see and hear and telepath all in the city. once again only megil is aware of their existence. perhaps the most marvelous achievements in Vivec., since the children are neither alive nor dead living in the cusp between the two.

more will be added later.

Yeah Megil, but destroying the heart of Lorkhan was supposed to be no walk in the park either, that's the point of a plot device that holds the fate of the entire Northeastern part of Tamriel.

Learn the existance....

Hah.

Any halfwit with a once of knowledge of magicka knows one cannot sustain a constant enchantment without well...a powersource.

Which is usually, in enchanted items, made made binding a soul to the item in question.

As New Vivec doesn't (itself) glow with the plastic-wrap look of a enchantment ( ) obviously there is a powersource somewhere which supplies it.

From there, its just deducing where they're hidden...

Heres my annual reget post. I'm still really bummed I can't join you guys... I'm afraid that when my computer is back in working order the RP won't be...

"a man standing there in the shadows"

yay megil has earned the quality of being the man in the shadows ^ ^. lol.

just funny cuz that is what i am known as. I'll be at people's houses and suddenly they are like "whoa when did u get here" even though i ahve been tehre for like 1-2 hours.

anywho's int chaos. i think this RP will be around for a while.

Hey everyone....
I've decided to quit the RP, due to the fact I'm just too busy and have a lack of inspiration. See you all round on the Oblivion forum though.

are you inquiring that the rp is falling apart? or that your cpu is so broken and it wont be fixed before the rp ends?

The RP is just beginning to pick up again. We have some nice tension building between certain characters, extremely intricate plots building up, activity is rising again. This RP will be great.

dantrag, an amili post would be appreciated.

mr. bosmer doesnt know where to go....

amili needs magic, so i'm waiting for megil to stop draining everyone. What was the reason for that again?

Megil this was put in effect after en'fel's last fight I take it.

what is that doomed?

The no use of magicka.

Oh yeah, and post for the undercity.

well considering it was only activated when Megil stormed after anthanes, and got the messages of Sasal, akar, and wred.

it can be activated and deactivated it is not a constant.

I see, so it's sort of a way to stop anthanes from coming back in.

and to keep dagoth carlos mages from blasting the gate.

I guess our party is kinda splitting up.. Oh well.

I'm implying that it will probably be most the way over mkaing it almost pointless to join back then.

I'm just thinking.........
Doesn't Megils big magicka drain thing screw up earlier happenings where Anthanes used magic to enter the Morag Tong HQ?

He activated it some time after Anthanes crashed the MT place

yup, it is anot in place all the time. otherwise alot could not have acurred, the fight between amili and en fel, or endirs, whichever of the two it is.

so, can you take off this magiacka restriction now? There really isn't a reason for it anymore.

who was that directed to? i am lost...

akar.

It wiull remain in effect until dagoth carlos posts, sicne knowing him he will blast the gate to smitherins.

no, he just won't post for 12 years, holding up the RP...

gamer! there is nobody in the house.......absolutely nobody.....hrrrmmmffff all you have done is destroying Serene´s and Jonacin´s gear....and belongings..but just you wait til´they find out..........my my.....I would not wish to be in Ced´s clothes then

Hehe . . . . uh . . . .right . . . . .

No one dies . . . oh well.

ARSON! MWAHAHAHAHAH!

Jonacin and Serene will see that he is a really really big coward, believe me. Just watch when they find him . . .
