I always felt that the main way of dealing with Falmer was "kill them before they kill you." :)

Thanks guys for some thoughts there....killing Falmer in pre-emptive strikes is of course always the first choice on contact.....however one quickly finds ones self amidst a baying mob of the grey, needle toothed little horrors.

Taking them down piece meal is a luxury we enjoy.....whenever possible

So, they are weak to frost afterall then!

Yesterday when I did Ratsballs (or whatever its name is) I encountered the falmer that are first in line after the automatons that followed the bandits. The room they are in lies at the bottom of an inclined corridor that has one of the "propeller blade" traps that pops up out of the floor. At the very bottom a loose section of pipe lays across the corridor blockin all but a smal section that is sufficient to allow one to pass through,

Anyway, if you're with me as to the setting, Aahni loosed an arrow at a falmer who was not far away in one of those little huts they have... and that arrow didn't kill him. He came charging up the steps to where she was hiding, and ran right past her to the bottom of that corridor with the trap. Of course, she shot him in the back with another arrow, and that one finished him off.

Turning, she was a little surprised to see that two (or perhaps three) more falmer were coming up the stairs toward her, although they hadn't apparently seen her yet. She didn't feel she could chance shooting an arrow because the three of them would have been a dangerous match for melee, so...

She stood up and began running toward the fallen section of pipe that blocked the path. With a shout of "Become ethereal" she leaped over the pipe, and ran right through the trap and on up the corridor. The falmer decided to follow, and shortly there was lot of unusable falmer ground round laying about in the corridor.

That was a falmer encounter of the third kind that was just plain fun! If the trap had not been there, she would likely have used the shout to run back the way she had come until she found a defensible position. She of course had no magic, and because she has no alchemy skills, only one potion of paralyze that she was unwilling to use...

Still though, that's a fair example of how I usually handle falmer. Hit, run, lure them into traps, lead them to where you can fight. I have more problems with chaurus than falmer...

When dealing with groups (of Falmer or anything else), I like to give out a dose of whatever will weaken as many as possible. It's good to have some kind of area-of-effect "bomb" to send them, as they close on you.

Fireballs, Cloaks, that sort of thing. In addition to your main attack, of course.

Edit: I agree, Neil. I have more trouble with the Chaurus, too.

That uhh... could result in some colorful replies itself, eh?

But... you are right, I think it's time for a drink. Now to decide which comes first, ale or brandy...

Hey, Sere, where'd your story go? Is it in one of those locked forums?

Kane set up a new area, and it's passworded (because I might actually want to publish it eventually). And just right now, he's wound up with the Pens in the game.

It'll be back tomorrow probably, in http://s15.zetaboards.com/TES_DiD/forum/5105734/

Writers Nook!

Now, I have not written things I am, "shown" by her ladyship for some time....there has not been the need, since her um' enlightenment.

But.....if the mood should take me to commit her less than savoury visions to paper (figuatively).....how do I access WN....what's the pw?

Oh, <cough> it can't be divulged (here) or it's not much of a password!
