Cyrodiil Trade Caravan (interest survey)

A company of dominion mercenaries and several merchants stop just outside S'ren-ja, setting up camp for the night. Success of the war in Cyrodiil has made a few confident they can begin trade with a few of the towns in desperate need of supplies, likely to pay top dollar. Before the evening settles a mercenary comes to the center of town to stick a dagger through a note. It reads:

"Cyrodiil Caravan looking for guards, sellers, mages, and adventurers for a two week expedition around the imperial city. Please join our group outside town before high sun tomorrow. "

On the heels of the fish expedition, how many folks would be interested in getting some of their PVE questing done in Cyrodiil? The idea here would be to join a pvp instance that is under primarily dominion control and take a large group to make the questing easier and make it less likely to be ganked. The caravan would move around the map from dominion to pact to dagger fall territories.

If your interested let us know if you'd be:
a guard (pvp familiar and veteran rank)
an adventure (general level),
a mage, (heavy on exploring but not great at fighting),
or a merchant/seller (terrible at fighting and low in level).

Since Cyrodiil up levels players, anyone 10+ can join, but it's good to know who can do what. Also let me know a day on availability


Also, this is NOT intended to take forts, defend, or advance the alliance war. We may get dragged into some fights but the general policy will be to avoid them

This one would be interested. Mo'jahi would be an adventurer (lvl 35 dk atm).

This adventurer would love to return to Cyrodiil. For the Empire! :)

I love it! Count me in!

I'm interested! But I'm leaving town next Tuesday for a week. If I'm around I'd love to come. I'd be an adventurer (lvl 37 NB).

Shere'khaann will join as a an adventurer. Lvl 36 Templar

I am up for whatever & whenever... some PVP experience in ESO and I expect to get ganked it is the nature of PVP so I do not care when I die.

Sylvaswift is a LVL 40/41 KB - he needs shards and quests, kills, resources, XP & a good time
Charaziel is a LVL 15/16 Templar - needs shards and quests, kills, resources, XP & a good time

I am interested in this as a merchant on any day that is good for everyone else

Gnarlus want in. He venture to Cyrodiil all time. Level 19 Sorceror.

I assume for those not putting down a day that any would be good...

Hey, Gata has some stuff she wants to sell! Low lvl she is though, And not a good fight

This one is interested if only for a change of scenery.

If you are looking for an experienced healer and a battle mage - look no further. Bethany Hawke, at your service!

I will come to if I am not at work v12 NB, no pvp exp on this game as yet.

Sounds like a lot of fun! This one would love to go (Adventurer lvl 35)

Alright so I'm looking at using the Skullcrusher instance for this event and possibly doing it several times during the weekday and wekkend, any time that works for folks let me know

This one has had experience in Cyrodiil, and would like to join the caravaan.

Weekdays are best for me typically early on in the week like Monday-Wednesday
Vet 6 Healer

whelp, going to have to put this on hold for a week or so, the patch tomorrow will consolidate PVP down to 5 servers, meaning things will be heated for a few weeks. after the dust settles there should be a semi safe server to do.

I'd like to participate, I just need to get John up to a VR level so he can be a proper guard.

All right. I'm still interested and can make virtually any day work (except 8/11 or 8/21). V4 DK tank.

Fantastic! I would be more than happy to join with your company into Cyrodiil. I am a lv. 16 Nightblade, so I could probably serve as a Magi-erchant. Until we meet.. -Racuvar

sorry for the Delay on the response for this. I plan to do this in the 7 day campaign for now, since it seems AD controls it pretty well and it will let us all get into the same zone. I would like to try 2 Trips, the first being Thursday 7/14/14 @ 8pm EST and Saturday 7/16/14 @ around 11:30 or 12 EST *CANCELED* Due to the festival and weekend plans. I do have a family and son, so I apologize if the times are not great. if someone wants to lead ahead of time or a different time I will try to support whoever needs it

We will be headed in the following directions:
We will start at AD's west gate
Abbey of the Eight
Vlastarus
Hackdirt
Chorrol
Weynon Prior
Weye
Bruma
Temple of the Ancestor Moths
Cheydinhal
Cropsford
Finally back to AD's east gates.

in each town we will stop to pick up quests, go around in the area as a group to complete them and turn them in.

I will be streaming this and teamspeak will be open for coordination. you can watch the day off at http://www.twitch.tv/heroofnone


For enemy players we will have a few options, if it is a single or double players under vet rank, we may simply stealth up, come up to them, unstealth, and use the /doom emote. We are, after all, a trade caravan, not soldiers and murderers.If we come across a group or solos of a higher level we should stealth and stack up, avoid engaging in a fight. this may mean waiting or letting a few die if discovered. That is fine, as long as we have a possible forward camp that can be setup or we can rez them.

In the case of a total wipe we will try to spawn at the closest keep not under siege and plan on how to go back to the area we were just in. We may either skip and area or flip and do the reverse of the list if there seems to be heavy traffic in an area.

Let me know if anyone needs any other updates.

Be sure to post this as an EVENT on the calendar it is the only way I can tell US time LOL it is my forum clock. Sylvaswift really needs to get these done.

can a spiritual khajiit that talks to animals come too?

I'm in! (Assuming you mean 8/14 and 8/16.)

Magik and her trusty monkey shall join as a guards

thanks for those running with us, it was fun, though a bit unruly at times for the caravan. a few things:

I will not be able to run another caravan until next week, due to plans and the ESO player festival this weekend. stay tuned for more updates.

There was a lot of disorganization in the groups due to crashing, over talking, and lack of direction. I tend to be passive in PVE groups so people don't get frustrated, but I can be much more militaristic if needed. That being said, there is another way I can get around this without being too much of a stickler:

1. split the groups into groups of 8 or 12, hopefully split to mix in experienced, new, and look ahead scouts, that way people don't get confused when they see people way ahead of them and the map hasn't updated. yet.
2. have a guild scribe writing down whats going on in teamspeak. I can try to speak and type, but that makes for long delays in directions.
3. shorten the event days, hit a city/village a day, complete a dolmen and a dungeon achievement. this would probably drag one for a lot of people

Let me know what you think, otherwise I may need to be more forceful in getting folks to follow direction, which I don't think will be as much fun.

Herfi thank you for all your hard work!
I had the best time ever!!

Thank you so much and sorry!

I thought it was a wonderful event! Thank you so much for running it, I had a lot of fun. :D

I had a lot of fun too :) thank you Herfi!
