History Roleplay / TamrielicAdventures

* SayMyName: Niralie shouts Tia's name when she sees Valentia lying motionless after being attacked by a pirate in Windhelm.

* LeftStuckAfterAttack: When Arellius stabs a troll in the back, his sword remains lodged in the creature.

* RapePillageAndBurn: The pirates intend to do this to Windhelm in the Threads of the Webspinner arc.

*** Many lements of Mars' plot are later re-introduced after the Siege of Windhelm, when the masked death squad from Suran makes a return in the form of the Hollow Council.

The original topic lasted a year and a half, accumulating 277 pages (5,674 posts) over its course, and was closed when most of the active players had dropped off. Two months later it was revived in the form of [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=35013 Tamrielic Adventures Vol. 2]], which picked up directly where the last thread left off, starting with a fresh new cast of characters, in addition to the few who remained from the original thread. The thread has changed hands quite a few times [[labelnote:*]](Mars > Velvet > Hissien/Unionhack > Velvet/Unionhack > Rook/Unionhack > Rook/Baloth-Kul)[[/labelnote]], and it is still ongoing today. This page is mostly about [=TA2=], as that's when it really started picking up a more solid story, and is the only version that most of this page's editors have been involved in.

* DeclarationOfProtection: After they arrive at the Grey Vigil's manor, Nora declares that she will be Niralie's shield.

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Niralie says this in Nandrnil's cave when she hears Arellius talking about how she's too injured to travel: she's afraid he means they might leave her behind.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Probably unintentionally - the last post on the first thread.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Valentia and Dorian. Valentia finds Dorian to be completely insufferable upon meeting him, but after she undergoes some hard CharacterDevelopment and makes an effort in moving on from the hardships of her life with the cult, her disposition towards him becomes much warmer.
** The two share a dance and sleep together the evening after the Siege, though it's clear that this was done out of mutual physical attraction, not emotional affection.

* TheCameo: At least one character from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'', an alchemist in Vivec, makes an appearance, as the RP takes place just a couple years before the game.

* ColdEquation: Valentia and Arellius figure that their best chance of survival during the shipwreck is to load only themselves onto the lifeboat and abandon everyone else. Niralie getting on board wasn't part of the plan, but they rolled with it.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Happens quite a bit when players stop posting; they’re generally assumed to just have not been there, or have been killed (if it's close to an event where that's possible, such as the guardhouse fight or the shipwreck.)
* CriticalFailure: These occur during low dice rolls.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Arellius if you push his BerserkButton. When Psyfalia cut his hammock strings because he refused to get up and help with the ship, he attacked her, giving her some broken ribs. When Niralie ordered him to hand her the lifeboat oar because he was struggling with his injury, he considered using said oar to knock her out of the boat.
* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: Nandrnil's reasoning for trying to kill an obviously wounded Niralie: that usually strangers were bandits, and in that case it was better to strike before they could.

* DwindlingParty: The group from Suran. They [[YouAllMeetInAnInn met in an inn]] and went to the guardhouse together. Several characters vanished due to ChuckCunninghamSyndrome and are generally assumed to have been killed in the fight. Then the ship sank, during which several other characters disappeared, and others die off one by one (Aenar, Per, Raylis, Katien, Psyfalia). The remaining people end up getting split into two groups of three (Maurzol, Sees-in-Shade, and Sinyail; Niralie, Arellius, and Valentia). One member of each of ''those'' groups is killed off shortly afterward as well; however, by that point both groups have also met a few new allies. The only members from the original Suran group remaining in the RP, however, are Niralie, Valentia, and Sinyail.
* EasilyForgiven: Valentia forgives Arellius and Per fairly easily. Averted by Niralie, who holds a grudge against them.

* GodInHumanForm: The Daedric Lord Sanguine reveals himself after shedding the guise of Malvirian's Argonian seeress, Seeks-the-Lost, and speaks to the Threads of Fate group in order to give them a quest to gather the other Threads.

* LiteralMinded: An atronach that Alindrel summoned. She ordered it to help her get out, and break down a wall if necessary. It decided to throw fireballs at the stone wall, despite the fact that, according to the narration, it would take well over a week

* MalevolentMaskedMen: The soldiers that went around executing everyone in Suran wore full armor, masks and all.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Malvirian Linvail's ship is painted red and black.

* RandomNumberGod: Velvet uses dice to determine the outcome of most actions.

** Niralie owned several rings that she had enchanted [[AmplifierArtifact with effects such as waterbreathing and boosting magicka]]. They were stolen by Arellius, and then at least one of them was subsequently stolen by The Debt-Collector.

* SimultaneousArcs: The characters got split into two different groups after the shipwreck, each with their own arc going on (and not always synchronized with each other; they may be days apart).

* TraumaCongaLine: Valentia and Niralie have gone through a lot since the start of [=TA2=]: During the troubles in Suran, the two were nearly killed by Arellius. After they eventually were able to flee the mysterious troop of soldiers and sail out from Vivec, the ship they were on sank and as far as they knew they and Arellius were the only survivors. Though they made it ashore, they were badly injured again in Nandrnil's cave, and nearly died between that and the journey to Windhelm. And they aren't safe yet in Windhelm, since the city's under siege from pirates looking for the Daedric artifacts that they hold. The whole thing has made Valentia more cynical and Niralie more fearful.
* UnfamiliarCeiling: Tia and Niralie waking up at the Exile's Rest inn in Windhelm after being brought there and healed.

* [[HoYay Les Yay:]] Or rather, [[JustForPun Lles Yay]]. In its time, Llevana x Llela had quite the fanclub.

* TitleDrop: At the end of Act 2 of the Threads of Fate.
** ''"Only time would tell; but for the moment, the mood was light, the sun was rising, and a group of adventurers young and old were now free to embark on their Tamrielic Adventures once more."''

* {{Invisibility}}: Katien used an invisibility spell a couple times, and Nandrnil also used one when escaping from the Windhelm prison.

* {{Invisibility}}: Katien used an invisibility spell a couple times.

* WebcomicTime: [=TA2=] has been running for a little over 2 years now. Only a few days have passed in-game, most of which were skipped while the characters were traveling and nothing interesting was happening.

* CurbStompBattle: Gudrun vs Per in the guardhouse in Suran. Gudrun doesn’t even have time to fight back.

* TheDragon: Dalvum Linvail was the harbinger of his father's conquest for the Threads of the Webspinner.
