okay so I'm prefacing this by saying I used to live on a ranch so I've been thinkin about this A Lot and like.... slippies aint got no fleshy muzzles so would make the most Horrible noises, just fuckin dry wheezy Shrieking like someone's trying to turn over the fuckin farm truck, like.... imagine that echoing over the Mojave in the middle of the night. What the fuck. What the Fuck.

YOU ARE RIGHT ft. Preston and Irina 

Dry wheezy shrieking like someone trying to turn over the farm truck is such a good description! I’ve been thinking of them as sounding like a horse with laryngitis, but like, one that also hisses and screams like a demon sometimes :D

so I had a thought that u might find interesting: i was thinking about how argonians can replicate human/mer languages remarkably well for not having, like, lips and all that nonsense, and by that logic I thought "what if they vocalize the same way parrots/other 'talking' birds do?" (i.e. no actual vocal cords, vocalize by changing the shape of the trachea, etc) and I'm not sure how to expand on that but I feel like it has potential

thats actually what ive been treating as canon for them! my idea was that they have the syrinx organ like birds.. they can do little things with their tongues and the opening and closing of their mouths for tone, but its not actually needed for pronunciation (tho when learning cyrodiilic and other languages they may actually use their mouths in pronunciation when possible)

i think in most of them it otherwise functions much the same as humans and they cant do spot on mimicky like a lot of birds can, but some subspecies (i.e sarpa) have much more birdlike builds and can mimic voices and noises with a high degree of accuracy. 

(xikeels actually pretty talented at mimicry, not enough to fool anyone but she can replicate someones tone and speech mannerisms accurately and mostly does it to be funny)

how's gullet doing these days? he getting up to any neat stuff in the campaign? any badass nat-20s or hilarious critical fails yet?

HES DOIN WELL.. hes good at chopping down doors and has fucked up quite a bit of them. 

hes not a particularly badass man tho, i think hes had a crit or two during combat but i dont remember what they were specifically so they must not have that cool. he did lay down over a spike pit once so the rest of the party could use his body as a big sweaty bridge 

and for whatever reason he gets crit fails while he’s drinking..VERY CONSISTENTLY. Our sessions usually end w getting smashed in taverns and gullet crit fails almost every fucking time, our last session he got two crit fails and both of them happened while he was chuggin that good stuff. Basically whenever he drinks theres like a 90% chance he barfs and passes out as soon as the alcohol touches his lips. One time he passed out in a bar and all his tiny ass party members kept failing their rolls to drag him back to the inn so he spent the night in his barfy, sweaty coat, just kinda shoved up against a wall. hes a MESS
