Jude is actually so psychotic because wdym she beat Grima Mog (a literal Redcap probably twice her size who's heavily skilled in fighting and whose very nature is to violently kill on instinct) in a one-on-one duel???

The redcap is a diminutive murderer from Scottish folklore, with a cap soaked in the blood of his victims. The D&D version of the redcap appeared in the 1993 Creature Catalog as an evil subtype of brownie, illustrated by Dave Simons.

HEADCANON

if inigo just started giggling, lucien would laugh too, the dragonborn (that's you!) would start laughing as well, recap would get excited and silently marvel in it, and then remi would start laughing at recap's little foot taps, and then gore would wheeze laugh very loudly causing everyone to laugh even harder and causing auri to join in, lucifer and khash would fake laugh just to be included

meanwhile xelzaz, still connected to the hist and immune to hysteria, would be loudly and increasingly angrily screaming "what in the fucking oblivion is so funny?!"

There are so many awesome follower mods for Skyrim. I wanna play with them all at the same time but I can't.

Having more than 3 or 4 at a time feels like herding cats 😭

Xelzaz Version 1.12.0 - The Dawnguard Update is now live!

Xelzaz Version 1.12.0 - The Dawnguard Update is now live on Nexus and Bethesda.net! Featuring commentary for the entire main quest of Dawnguard, new interactions with followers, new unique model for Xelzaz's Mind of Madness 'reward', Xelzaz's new unique daggers and even a new food item! The update adds over 600 new lines of dialogue! Here are the patch notes:

Xelzaz Version 1.12.0 - The Dawnguard Update

NOTICE: Any characters that are in the process of, or that have completed the Volkihar questline will have Xelzaz abandon them after updating or installing the mod. This will happen even if Xelzaz hasn't been recruited yet, Xelzaz will simply continue on to High Rock on his lonesome. If you wish to have Xelzaz along for the Volkihar questline, please bring him along when you are joining the Vampire Clan for the first time.

This update features commentary for the main quest for the Dawnguard expansion! Other additions include bug and typo fixes, more conversations with Xelzaz, interactions with other followers and new surprise content for players that are able to find it!

Bug Fixes and Typos

Fixed some typos.

Removed disruptive conditions from some dialogues.

Added a 10 minute timer failsafe for Xelzaz finding Varona that ends the scene should he have gotten stuck.

Moved scripts checking for quest stages of Thogra and Lucifer's (Nebarra interactions) quests to a new player alias, to prevent potential script spam from the game thinking Xelzaz is constantly changing locations.

Tweaked the timer on the script forcefully equipping Xelzaz's Scarf should he be wearing his default armor, to prevent him from equipping it during fast travel.

Sinderion's Journal will now be cleared from the list of aliases attached to the Crimson Nirnroot quest, allowing it to be dropped once it is no longer relevant. (This will not work retroactively.)

Added a check that Xelzaz is following in order for him to be able to handover Roovi and the Propylon to Malborn during the Main Quest.

Additions

Added new greet lines.

Added new goodbye lines.

Added a new conversation about master spells at the College of Winterhold.

Added a new conversation relating to Master Sul after reaching 100+ Relationship and having been told a certain story.

Added new unique daggers (Kukri) for Xelzaz.

Added a new unique model for Xelzaz's Banquet Fork, which now may also be used as a weapon. (In saves that already has Xelzaz with the fork, simply leave it in his inventory and greet him until he says "Hm?" and it should swap it to the new model/weapon.)

Added a new food for Xelzaz to cook: "Lava Foot Soup".

Interactions

Added new interactions with Remiel.

Added new interactions with Redcap.

Added new interactions with Lucifer.

Added new interactions with Nebarra.

Added new interactions with Thogra.

Troubleshooting

Added a line on the Roovi debug dialogue script to tell the player if Xelzaz is in a scene or not. (Translators will likely need to update this script: BPUF_TIF_05F1A5E1)

Quest Commentary

Added commentary for the Dawnguard Main Quest line.

Added (more) commentary for 'Discerning the Transmundane'. [See changes further down.]

Changes

Disabled asking Xelzaz to cast Healing Hands on an injured player if they are a vampire.

Gave Xelzaz his own unique version of 'Reanimate Corpse' with conditions preventing him from raising animals. This should stop him from raising fearsome chickens for battle. It will unfortunately also mean that every creature that has the keyword 'animal' will not be raised by Xelzaz, such as trolls and bears. (On existing saves you will need to go toggle this spell back on.)

Added a check to prevent Argonian players from spamming Jel greetings when meeting Xelzaz for the first time for disposition.

Made Xelzaz's comment about being given Frost Resistance increase his disposition towards the player.

Revoiced some old lines.

Altered the journal entry for 'A Lawman's Ambition' to encourage players to spend more time with Xelzaz prior to bringing him to the Hammerfell Gate.

Removed commentary on getting the (Dragon) Elder Scroll from Main Quest commentary. It is now instead located in the commentary for the quest 'Discerning the Transmundane'.

Made it so the persuasion check at the Hammerfell Gate will always succeed if the player has Telvanni Bug Musk applied (in case people have patches nerfing it.)

Altered line about 'Altmer eugenics' to 'Altmer traditions'.

Added a line to the bleedout scrips preventing Xelzaz or the followers he interacts with to comment on each other going down if they are already in a scene. (This was done to prevent, for example, Xelzaz from crying out about Khash being injured way after combat has ended, due to already being in a scene while combat was happening.)

Upon death or when permanently dismissed, Xelzaz's tracker will now be removed from the quest log.

Misc.

Migrated some of the Main Quest commentary to Discerning the Transmundane commentary.

Added failsafes to Remiel-Xelzaz-Redcap Winking Skeever scene

Xelzaz's Saltrice Noodle Bowl's meshes and textures were modified in order to allow the bowl to be reused for more unique foods. Thus the noodles have a new mesh path. This means you must update the AE plugin if you are using it.

Xelzaz AE Plugin 1.12.0

Compatibility

Changed the mesh path for Xelzaz's Saltrice Noodles.

Added hunger and warmth effect to Xelzaz’s Lava Foot Soup.

Fixes

Added Xelzaz's small treats (from Sweets and Such) to the AE treats formlist.

Hey Skyrim, I know 'Dragons have returned' is a pretty important part of the game but droping one half dead and pissed in the middle of Falkreath forest was not on my bingo card

On the left, Redcaps! 3 ft (91 cm) fey murderers, that cap is soaked in blood to heal them and give them supernatural strength. They're always old-looking with pointed ears, but not always bearded and masculine. Just like how not every wizard's an old guy in a pointy hat and robes, that's just the iconic look for them. They're sadistic bullies who relent to people stronger than them, pick on those who aren't, and are terrified of gods (and religious symbols in general). They're pretty solitary though, only gathering for hunting parties and swapping stories of kills.

On the right is the demilich! When a lich loses its soul cage but doesn't die, its body eventually crumbles. It falls into involuntary hibernation unless disturbed while its mind wanders the planes, as its magic and items infuse with its form. When disturbed and it snaps back to life! they can make clouds of debris, cast any spells from any item they've absorbed over thier life (get creative), and have innate magic to fly, teleport, and manipulate or launch items. and that spectral hand they can summon can lift 19 pounds, so actually has some force behind it. Note however, they do eat souls. So watch out for that.

People be like why are goblin girls all sexy and goblin boys are ugly creatures? And they're right, we need hot goblin boys.

This is Derva, the Redcap.

Xelzaz popped this line for me the other night... I dont think it ended well for him

[pixiebombblog]

The boy will be getting a bunch of new armors & new 3D models for existing armors in Redcap's GIGANTIC v1.5.0 update (forever in progress it will be worth the wait 😘) Here are some teaser pics of a few of them including from top to bottom: - Wood Armor (be careful around fire this one is extra flammable!) - Mudcrab Armor (a tanky boi) - Ash Hopper Armor (gotta go fast) - Falmer Armor (this is one of the visual upgrades to an existing armor)

Fakemon Challenge #3 - GRIMSON (Water/Dark) The Red fin pokemon

It is based in the Goblin Shark and Redcaps, a type of violent goblin that according to its tale, soaks its cap in the blood of its victims, making it red, hence the name "redcap"

GRIMSON uses the bones of other fishes as weapons and its attracted to the scent of blood, they will use their claws, teeth and weapons to draw flesh blood which sends them into a feeding frenzy.

GRIMSON has two forms and will change between them with its ability "Frenzy", after knocking out an opponent its attack will rise sharply, but wont be able to use any move that is not an offensive one, and wont be able to be taken out of battle.

Fun commission for the lovely @lennertlivet 

This was very fun, Gwen is in a unfortunate event with my map maker... so fun, I know Gwen can survive... My Gal not so much lol

[spectrolitha]

I've finally storytelled a one-shot for strangers (well, almost all of players were strangers) at my uni's ttrpg club! Very proud of myself and my players seemed satisfied with the game. One of them was very vocal about enjoying the system and another told me they'd like to attend more of my games which made me incredibly happy :D

It was a CtD game centered on finding changeling freshly out of Chrysalis before they mess things up on accident out of not understanding their own nature. Here are the NPCs portraits:

Yerofey, freshly out of Chrysalis sluagh. He was an underground doctor in his previous life. Which led to him crossing quite a few dangerous people. So one day Yerofey decided to pretend that he got killed in a fire, burned down his clinic and ran away, only to be found, not recognised as the doctor and being judged for... burning down the doctor he literally is. (And also for a sidhe murder he didn't do). And his punishment was execution. So yeah, he got killed for killing himself, which he didn't do. He haven't remembered all that at the beginning of one-shot and was terrified that players were the people who burned his clinic in his past life, but once he had figured out his own backstory he had a laugh of his life.

Next we have chimeras which were created during Yerofey's Chrysalis. The first one was actually the clue which led players towards Yerofey's location, and the second one was the protector of Yerofey's trod and place in the Dreaming.

Rada, marten pooka. She's a changeling type of poacher, capturing chimera and making stuff out of them. She got in town to capture new chimera born out of Yerofey's Chrysalis, but my players captured her first... I guess now she'll be brought to justice. I don't have much to say, for some reason my players decided to go completely violent on every pooka they met, so the pookas couldn't do much 😭

Antonida, former selkie. She have passed her seal skin down to her grandson and is now living simply as a granny selling shitty books in the local flea market. She still remembers about changelings and the Dreaming though, and she reluctantly aided players when she learned of their mission by telling them that some young man asked her for the lighter. That of course being Yerofey, searching for a treasure by which his trod opens. Antonida was reluctant to help since she thought Yerofey is a reincarnation of the arsonist (which he is, technically) and not the doctor, and she assumed players are there to hunt him down for his past life's crimes. But as I said, after some convincing she helped.

Oh, the next two... Let's start with Voislav, redcap and the last patient of Yerofey's clinic before it burned down. He's a killer of a sidhe tyrant (which happened during Accordance war), whose death was later blamed on Yerofey. Voislav got hurt fighting that sidhe, so he went to Yerofey and there he warned him that people don't like his underground doctor business and retribution for all the good Yerofey did is probably coming. Which led to Yerofey giving Voislav his lighter to keep it safe until his return (since it's the only way to open his trod) and faking his death. Voislav didn't know it was all fake and he blamed himself pretty hard for the doctor's supposed demise. Which is why he treasured the lighter up to modern days and was absolutely pissed when in someone stole it in the flea market... That someone being freshly out of Chrysalis Yerofey, yeah. However, Yerofey run away the moment he did the deed, and Voislav blamed it on Yerofey's friend who was also there, Pasha.

Pasha in question. He's just a normal mortal boy who had known pre-Chrysalis Yerofey since first grade and got very worried when he started acting weirdly. My players convinced him Yerofey got indoctrinated into a cult (I mean, are they wrong, though?), which didn't ease Pasha's worries, but made him back off and finally telling where Yerofey supposedly went. Oh, and also Voislav dropped the charges, since players figured out who the lighter's thief was, too. So Pasha didn't get involved in any mess and suffered only from worrying about his friend. Which will definitely be resolved now that Yerofey finally understands what happened to him. So Pasha will be fine :]

Lastly, Colombina, pigeon pooka. She was sent by another freehold's sidhe to find a new changeling and take him to their freehold, but sadly she wasn't able to do much, since, once again, for some reason my players' reaction to seeing pookas was an instant "hunt" mode activated. So yeah. She just flew away from the whole mess :D
