[quote]Myra jumped at the voice, and dropped his knife down the stairs, the blade embedding itself with a thump. He turned slowly to see the cause of his fright and stood up, promptly bowing.

"Hello Nord, I am Myra, or Myrage. As for what I am doing... to be precise I am trying to listen to the conversation down there and think of my next planof attack. And who might you be?"
[/quote]

The Nord frowned. "A rather hungover fellow who happens to be a friend of those conversing," he said. "I suggest you brace yourself, the fall from this won't be pleasant."

Fenris drew in a deep breath, and shouted at the Bosmer. The bosmer was sent flying. Fenris waved to the flying mer. "Hope he knows slowfall, or leviatation, or finds a soft spot to land. Wouldn't want the cleaners to have to wipe him off the street..."

(I fell off from being shouted at?!?!?!?!?!???? :confused: ) Myra controlled himself, and landed on his feet, rolling forwards to bypass the shock. He Spat on the floor, then walked through the door, (picked the lock if it was locked) and laid down on his bedroll, wondering how to get himself out of this mess.

((Fenris is a Nordic Tongue, they can shout with force enough to knock men into the air, and some could practically level fort Ebonheart by saying "hi" tongue.gif ))

OOC: Thanks for controlling me well MerGirl!

IC: Shakur was left stunned after the arrow incident, and simply watched as Myra snuck off. "He's just blowing off some steam right now, he'll calm down when he notices he has made himself look like a damned fool". Shakur noticed the door reopen, and readied his claymore.

OOC: Since I'm leaving again (sorry about that) I'll need someone to control me again if neccesary.

Posted by: Konradude May 29 2005, 10:02 PM

(Agh!11Someone save me from the slowest RP ever in the world!!!!AACCK!!!) Myra sat up, his head bowed in thought. After an hours thinking he finally decided he's been an idiot. He got up, straightening his dusty grey shirt. He sneezed then walked to the balcony, where he leant over,

"Sorry everyone, having a tough time right now with my father. I say lets evacuate the city and find the cause of all this mess."

Posted by: Dantrag May 29 2005, 10:12 PM

Sel walked back inside after walking the road for awhile. He had been thinking that he needed to apologize to Celia, not for threatening the bosmer, but for taking his anger out on her. He ran his hands through his hair quickly as he came inside, shaking the water out of it.

He walked in and saw an arrow embedded in the wall close to where Celia and Arco were standing.

"What happened?" Sel asked.

Posted by: Wolfie May 29 2005, 11:20 PM

OOC: [sarcasm]Thanks for involving my character guys[/sarcasm]

Jonacin walked in off teh street where he had been keeping watch to see a room full of drunken people. "Could none of you control yourselves? It's a good thing nothing came along. Now throw me some of that brandy"

Posted by: Dantrag May 29 2005, 11:22 PM

"I think a few things came along." Sel said sarcastically, motioning towards the arrow lodged in the wall.

"Nobody has answered my question - what the hell happened while I was gone?" Sel repeated.

Posted by: Konradude May 29 2005, 11:33 PM

Myra stared at the altmer and the redguard. "Maybe the mage has put a paralysis spell on them?"

OOC: Nobody force you to participate!! so please donīt complain!

"Nobody bothers if Iīm dead or alive" Serene thought, " i can as well try to get out of here" She didnīt want to get too much involved right now so she continued keeping a low profile, and just stuck with Celia[/u]

Posted by: Konradude May 29 2005, 11:46 PM

Myra noticed the woman, wondering where she came from. He then relaxed in his chair, slowly closing his eyes and drifting off into his dreams..."Night all..." (OOC:Night all.)

[quote=Dantrag]"I think a few things came along." Sel said sarcastically, motioning towards the arrow lodged in the wall.

"Nobody has answered my question - what the hell happened while I was gone?" Sel repeated.[/quote]

"The Wood elf made a few idiotic mistakes," Fenris said.

Posted by: Dantrag May 29 2005, 11:53 PM

Sel eyed the bosmer, he still did not trust the wood elf, and suspected that he was responsible for the arrow. Sel didn't say a word though, and decided Celia would have her hands full without him making it worse.

OOC: Look, we gotta get out of this mansion....let's go!!!

Posted by: minque May 30 2005, 12:01 AM

OOC: ok letīs head for the door


Serene noticed some unrest among the others..."I wonder, will they try to escape now" she thought and prepared for a quick run

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 12:03 AM

OOC: What's up with Serene? has she gone evil or something? or have i just missed something?

Jonacin shrugged. He obviously wasn't getting any brandy. He rose to his feet and headed for the door again. Serene appeared to have tensed up. The difference betwwen that and her usual stance was subtl, but he had been trained to detect such things. "What's wrong Serene? You seem a little tense" he said to her

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 12:04 AM

Sel began to pack his things - no hard task, it was merely a matter of making sure he had his sword and dagger.

"Look, we're sitting ducks in this house." Sel said. "Another thing like that khajiit could show up any time. I think it's time we left."

Sel went into the kitchen and found a loaf of bread and a few ash yams, and wrapped them up in a cloth for the road ahead.

Sel stood before everyone "Coming?"

Posted by: minque May 30 2005, 12:20 AM

OOC: no sheīs not evil..... :shocked: just left out...

"Iīm ok Jonacin" Serene said, " itīs just getting on my nerves sitting here like ducks , oing nothing, letīs go now" she checked her backpack and stood up by Sel...

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 12:21 AM

"I say we leave this fool." Sel spat. "Unless anyone has any objections." He added, turning to face Celia.

"Look, I know you think he's misunderstood and all." Sel said to her, "But he obviously tried to scare, or possibly even kill, someone with that arrow - I suspect that you were the victim. Am I right?" Sel took a breath. "I had no right to yell at you earlier, but really, do you want him around us?"

Posted by: Channler May 30 2005, 12:21 AM

Falx finished putting on his armor in the other room, occasionaly hearing bits and peices of the other's conversations, "When I find the bosmer I'm gonna rip him a new one...." Falx growled, he was mad at himself for sleeping through the whole ordeal. He finished equiping his armor and walk out to meet with the group.

"It seems you all have had an intrusting morning.. Unfortionatly I was asleep" Falx said sarcasticaly.

He turned towards the door, "Oh, Fenris is it? I think we will need to make use of your, ability. It seems that last night I made a promise to evacuate the city"

Posted by: Aki May 30 2005, 12:31 AM

"In what way do you plan to make use of it?" Fenris asked, a eyebrow raising. "What to blaze a path or something?"

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 12:33 AM

"Maybe he wants you to hurl the refugees from the city" said Jonacin sardonically

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 12:43 AM

"What a glorious sight that would be." Sel said, playing along with the joke.

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 12:44 AM

(OOC: I'm on a really, really slow computer in the house right now...)


Celia giggled at the joke, then turned to Sel and shrugged. "I don't mind if the Bosmer comes with us." She smiled. "But I now give you permission to hurt him at least." She turned to the Redguard. "You may certainly come with us, Mister Redguard."

She embraced Serene. "Have a good rest? Anyway, if you're ready, I'm ready!" She turned to the others.
So, where are we going?" She asked, curious.

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 12:50 AM

"Sitting ducks?" said Shakur supprised. "Kajiit? What have you people done to deserve such enemies to be afraid of living in a house?" Shakur thought to himself "why is it I am asking them about enemies, when I just killed a dremora? I should be the one on trial here".

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 12:51 AM

"I don't know, wherever Falx or Serene want to go i guess. They seem to know the most about what's going on around here" said Jonacin with a shrug

Posted by: Channler May 30 2005, 12:51 AM

"To the town square, or at least thats were I think I should go" said Falx

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 12:52 AM

"Live, apparently," Fenris said.

[quote]"Maybe he wants you to hurl the refugees from the city" said Jonacin sardonically[/quote]

"You're rather sour, you sure you're not part Dunmer?" Fenris asked jokingly, a grin spreading across his face.

[quote]So, where are we going?" She asked, curious.[/quote]

"I say the stables, we'll need horses."

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 01:01 AM

OOC: Sorry, you put up posting when i had already started qriting. I forgot to post posting lol biggrin.gif

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 01:04 AM

OOC: nice save aki.

Sel shrugged. "Stables sounds like as good of a place as any - if any horses survived."

"The day isn't getting any longer, though, I say we get going." Sel said. "Preferably without him." Sel continued, pointing at the strange wood elf.

OOC: got pizza!!! be back in a few

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 01:04 AM

"I agree with the stables, if you people are in as much trouble as it seems, we'll need horses".

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 01:18 AM

"Stables sounds good, lets go. OH, and Fenris, i'm just a cynic by nature. One hundred percent pure blooded Regdguard though" said Jonacin

Posted by: minque May 30 2005, 01:21 AM

" Now then..letīs go" Serene felt uneasy now"where are those horses " she said...smiling failtly at Celia......taking her hand

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 01:28 AM

Celia smiled widely at Serene. "Maybe we could ask one of the refugees if there's one nearby? We could stop by the stables real quick, then we could go from there, and evacuate the peoples with us?" She looked from face to face. She hopped impatiently, her hand still in Serene's, which made Serene's arm bop up and down. "Well, whatever you guys want. Come on, let's go!"

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 01:31 AM

"Why is it that you all seem to go out of your way to make Celia comfertable? You all seem to protect her as if she was" Shakur paused, looking at Celia "important".

OOC sorry if I skipped you mergirl. Here, CAKE! :cake: :cake:

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 01:32 AM

"Why do you have a problem with it? So we feel protective of her, big deal. She's a whole lot younger than the rest of us." said Jonacin
"Calm down Celia" he said to the young Altmer with a grin on his face, "you'll shake Serene's arm out of it's socket if you keep bouncing like that"

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 01:34 AM

"But you seem to prize her, I can understand the arrow and that she is young, but I feel like there is something you're not telling me".

Posted by: minque May 30 2005, 01:36 AM

"in order to survive we need all of us, Celia is a healer like me..so you guys protect us, both of us for the benefit of this group." Serene answered annoyed



OOC: I have to leave, take me with you when you leave the mansion!

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 01:39 AM

(OOC: Ooh, cake! Thanks, Red! See ya, Minque!)

Celia looked hurt and blushed. "Oh, Serene, don't feel that way! First of all, my momma says that guys act silly over the youngest girl, and second of all," she grinned, "you are the wisest of us all, I'm sure of it! And I'm probably the most stupid, so I'm sure that's why!" She gave Serene a big hug. "You're more experienced, so you don't need any silly nannies!" She giggled, and smiled. "So, are we going or what?" Celia hopped up and down again.

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 01:45 AM

"Don't think we are overprotective of her because of age." Sel began, "I am the same age, if not younger - I believe it is because she is often too trusting of people that are untrustworthy..." Sel joked,

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 01:48 AM

OOC I gotta go again now, bye.

"So, are we going or what?" Celia hopped up and down again.[/quote]
"Honestly Celia, you need to calm down or you'll need to sleep again" said Jonacin, laughing. "I suppose we should get going before you start to pull Serene's arm out of it's socket"

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 02:03 AM

Celia had started dragging Serene towards the door, and opened it. She looked outside. "Wow, it's another great sunny day out, so we better get going before it gets dark!" She grinned at Serene and pulled her out of the house, still bouncing...

...Until she was stopped in her tracks by some very irritated refugees. The one in front of her was a large male Imperial who was apparently was the spokesperson of the soon-to-be-evacuated townspeople. His face was angry to say the least.

Celia smiled, but inside, she was nervous and a bit inmidated by the angry man. "Hel-hel-hello, mister, er, Imperial. How may I help you?" She smiled a shaky smile. "Beautiful morning, isn't it?"


(OOC: going to bed soon in about half an hour or almost an hour from now...)

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 02:13 AM

Jonacin heard Celia's nervous voice from inside the house. He strode out to see her confronted by a large, irate imperial man. "Can i help you, sera? What seems to be the problem here?" he said to the man in a pleasant voice

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 02:17 AM

Sel grinned, "Is this the part where we get over-protective?" he said as his hand went to his sword hilt.

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 02:17 AM

Celia slowly turned her head towards Jona, and said in a fake, toothy smile, "Uh, ahem, these are the refugees we've volunteered, isn't that just wonderful? Oh, and, they told me that they are a little bit, a tiny bit, a teensy bit impatient to leave and escape the demons, m'kay?"

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 02:23 AM

"We can only take them as far as the city gates..." Sel said. "I think we have a more important mission to focus on right now without hundreds of people to be responsible for..."

OOC: skipped me again.... I feel so unwanted... sad.gif

Posted by: Channler May 30 2005, 02:24 AM

"Gustok Valdormave! We were just talking about the situation here!" Falx said as he pushed his way through, "Yes, we are about to get moving, my party and I have to gather horses, I suggest you gather as many as possible as well."

Gustok Valdormave, irritated replied, "Ok but we must be moving soon, the clouds are approaching again and I'd rather not get wet!"

Falx simply nodded

He then grunted at Celia, "Good job, didn't knock on wood aye?"

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 02:28 AM

Celia smiled her fake smile again. "Yes, yes, we all must get some sort of transportation if we must travel far..." She leaned low to whisper into Falx's ear, "Knock on wood? What's that? Knight talk for something?" She curtseyed(sp?) gracefully to Gustok, and then ran with Serene to get to the nearest stables before the townspeople did...


(OOC: Sorry, bedtime! tongue.gif )

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 02:36 AM

Sel shrugged. "Guess I'll go too. Don't worry, I'll get everyone a horse while you deal with...this." he said to Falx before running after Celia and Serene.

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 02:52 AM

Shakur looked at the refugees and the people who allowed him entry to the house. "I know I may have overstayed my visit, but it seems that you may need me, no offense". Shakur decided to stay close to Sel, for he seemed to be some sort of leader. Also, sorry for acting so, unusual toward you Celia, I just thought you might have had something to do with all of this".

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 03:13 AM

"Since we have the time now, I guess we can know each other better." Sel said as Shakur walked up beside him. "What's your story? And how did you end up in this gods-forsaken city?"

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 03:16 AM

"Well, after a hit was set out on my family, me, my brother and my best friend moved to Morrowind to look for the only asassin who dared attack my family and lived. We used the information from captured asassins to get there. After 10 years of searching, I was troubled by teribble dreams, where a soothsayer would warn me of a coming, unknown danger. Unfortunitly, he sees me every night due to the daedra attacks. One night, a strange entity named, Azrer.. Azure.. no it said it was named Azura. Anyways it came to me and told me to come to this hellhole to find hope, so I obeyed. But to explain the Celia thing, I felt something strange when I saw her, as if she was a major part in this prophacy. As if she was part of a bigger role. Anyways, you may have noticed my gauntlet, and am suprised the thief didn't. When I was in Solstheim visiting my relatives, I stumbled upon a strange tomb. There was a book on the tomb, along with this gauntlet. The book was a journal of a man named "Hrald the Red"", who had lost his family and had no legacy to remember him. He had no one to care or mourn, and he said in his sentence "I wish someone cared enough to let me live after death, but no one cries for one they don't know excist". So I took his gauntlet and his name, and became Shakur the Red and let him live." Shakur looked at Sel strangely. "Now, what's your story?"

Posted by: Channler May 30 2005, 03:43 AM

Falx led the elder into the house, he noticed that he was flanked by 4 of Gustok's men.

"It won't be easy getting the populace out of the city, you know that right?" Falx questioned

"Yes, but it must happen. To keep order I am creating a new guard, The Gustokive Legions. These soldiers will be my eyes and ears, you will be their leader" Gustok stared down a glass of dew water.

"Leader? Good sir, we know no not the condition of the emperor, I dare not defy his rule by cooperating uprisers!" Falx's eyes burnt with rage.

"Listen boy! I control the masses now, I am their ruler! You and your companions will do what I command of you! I warn you to reconsider..." There was a evil grin on the old mans face.

Falx backed away from the table and smiled, "Make me"

Instantly all four of the guards charged foward with their makeshift weapons, only one had an actually sword.

Falx quickly slashed the chest of the one to his right before he had time to react. The one to his left went to bash Falx on the head. Falx grabbed the stave and twisted it so that the mans arm was immeaditly broke. Falx swong the man towards the remaining two and watch as he was impailed by the sword bearer.

Noticing his advantage, Falx rushed forward, disarmed the third guy with a blow to the stomach. And with one swing Falx brought off the last mans head.

He slowly turned towards Gustok, "Have some simpleton do your bidding, I will have none of it." Falx walked out of the house.

Something started to grab him by the waist, Falx clawed at it but nothing was there. "Whaa?!" Replied as he was thrown up into the air.

Gustok, his arms extended casting some sort of telekineses spell, answered him, "You will help me now! Or you and your friends will die!"

"Bastaaaaard!!!" He yelled while he was thrown against the wall, "You willlll" He hit the wall again, "Paaay for thiiiis" and again.

Falx to bloody to respond any longer lay limp on the ground, "You see Knight, I have the power of magick, you will listen, or your freinds will pay"

"This isn't the last you'll see of me you honoured user!" Falx yelled "But for now I'll do what you want"

"Oh Akatosh is waiting outside for you..." The old let off a cackle

-=-=-=-

Several Minutes Later

-=-=-=-

"Sel!" Falx came riding up on him with his trusty steed, "Err, we better hurry, seems that we got a new boss" Flax told him what happened

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 03:46 AM

(before above statement...I was cut in line....)

OOC: if you really want Sel's past read this enormous paragraph. If not, skip ahead.

Sel listened carefully, not interrupting Shakur as he told his story. When he was done, Sel answered his question.

"I used to live in Morrowind. Vvardenfell, to be exact. I never knew my father, he never took the time to raise children...even though he left me our family heirloom - my sword. I never even knew him. My mother tried her best though, and she, my sister Vysi, and I lived happily for quite awhile. My mother died when I was fourteen, my sister was twelve. She had been eating less and less food, merely to let us have more." A sad smile appeared on Sel's face. "I actually believed her when she said she liked the tail of the rat best. Anyway, I did my best to take care of Vysi and myself. It went well for about two years. I had a job as a strange mage's assistant. He went off searching for artifacts, and I went with him and recorded his findings, as well as lent him protection. After one of the old fool's adventures, I returned home to find our little hut ransacked. I opened the door and saw a man rape and murder my sister." A tear went down Sel's face then, but he wiped it off and continued. "I tried to kill the man then and there, but he got away. The 'justice' system didn't help. All he did was pay a guard a thousand septims. The imperial government put a price on my sister's life, and earned a profit. I took matters into my own hands when I heard that news. I killed him. I found him in a tavern, waited until he walked out the door before slitting his throat from behind - a more merciful death than he gave my sister, to be sure. What I didn't know, was that he was a powerful member of the Cammona Tong. I was labeled a murderer and hunted by the empire as well as the crime organization. To escape, I stowed away on a ship to this hell-hole. And now, nine months later, I walk beside you, telling you a story nobody else has ever heard."

Sel was glad when the redguard didn't immediately say anything, wanting a moment of silence.

(after above statement)
Sel listened as Falx told him what had happened.

"What? we don't have time for a fool to be telling us what to do!" Sel screamed. "Ah, damnit, I'll play along, for now...but soon we will take matters into our own hands."

"Well, the guy has quite a bit of power, smashed me into the wall several times..." Falx said while rubbing his neck

Myra awoke with a start, drawing his blade and looking around.

"Huh? Where is everyone?...Bugger!" He sighed, standing up and sheathing his dagger. He picked up his worn cloak and put it on, taking out his bow. He proceeded towards the door, barging through it and out into the day. Looking carefuly he spotted a band of around 5 travellers in the distance, and decided it was the company he had met and followed.

He whistled and galloping over the barren hill came a dark grey steed. Myra got on and kicked against it, urging it forwards towards the group. After 15 minutes he caught up, head down and out of breath.

"Miss me?"

"Hmmm...maybe it would be better if this man didn't know that me and Shakur existed. We can stick to the shadows and blend with the refugees. That way we are free from his duties while working to stop him." Sel sighed. "Sorry, that's the best I can come up with."

"That just might work" Falx thought for a while, "Ok, I'll do what he wants for now, but then we should find out what the hell is going on."

"Go gather all the horses you can and meet me at the gate!" Falx said as he rode off on Akatosh (His horse)

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 03:46 PM

Sel turned to Shakur after Falx galloped away.

"I guess horses can wait. We better see what we can find out from the refugees..."

"Frankly, i don't know why you people insist on being bossed around by some teleknesis using pup," Fenris said shrugging. He began to head for the stables, gruffly pushing aside any refugee that got in his way.

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 04:31 PM

jonacin noticed that the others all seemed to be ignoring the refugees and heading for the stables. He shrugged and followed them

IC: "I agree, walking is good for now". Shakur looked at Sel with a strange look "And if you ever, ever need something from me, just tell me". Shakur, acting as a reliable entity, wanted Sel to know that he is not alone, because Shakur has lived that life befor.

A bit torn on whether she should stay with refugees or go to the stables, Celia just stood there, holding Serene's hand. Noticing the refugees were not getting any...calmer, Celia decided to head towards the stables.

She dragged a bewildered Serene in the direction in which the Nord and the Redguard were taking. When Serene and Celia caught up to them, Celia slowed down (but still held Serene's hand). "Hi, Mister Nord! Mister Jona!"

She glanced at Sel and Shakur, heading in the opposite direction. "Hey, where are you going?"

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 04:50 PM

"We were just, talking. Anyways, sorry for acting so strange around you about the whole protecting you thing, I just thought you were part of this whole picture, you know?" Shakur turned to head to the stables, still staying close to Sel.

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 04:50 PM

Jonacin heard Celia calling him and turned, shouting back "What? Is something wrong Celia?" HE stopped to wait for her to catch up, noting the look on Serene's face as she was dragged along with a grin

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 04:53 PM

(OOC: We're going towards the stables, last time I checked. But we haven't reached them yet. Sel, I think, wanted to forget about the horses and question the refugees... I think... )

Celia glanced at the more older Redguard (Shakur). "Whole picture? What picture, Mister Redguard?" She walked a bit faster, still dragging Serene. She looked at Jona and smiled back. "Nothing is wrong, mister Jona. You're just being silly again." She glanced back at Shakur. "Mister Redguard, I don't think I caught your name...?"

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 05:06 PM

"Silly? Me? Never" said Jonacin with a grin. "So let's go get some horses before these refugees take them all. How many do we need again?"

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 05:15 PM

"Get one for me and Shakur...we'll join you later. Celia, as long as you keep that amulet, we can get back to you. We'll see what we can do about this self-proclaimed emperor." Sel explained. "I'm almost excited." Sel added with a grin. "Let's go Shakur. I'm tired of playing games with bullies that fancy themselves as more."

Sel walked past Celia and the others, Shakur following.

(OOC: Sel and Shakur are going to take care of the wannabe emperor, posing as refugees for awhile. If you guys get too far away, Sel can use the amulet he gave Celia earlier...)

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 05:19 PM

"Yeah sure, got any specific type of horse you want?" Jonacin called after them

Posted by: Fuzzy Knight May 30 2005, 05:23 PM

(OOC: Thanks for making me read through 5 pages of posts...)

Arco as usuall just stood a little back from all, just waiting. He just wanted a horse and get out - He really didn't know what he was doing with these people now, where were we suppose to go he thought. He looked around, before walking to a wall just leaning back. He hadn't got any sleep in the past 3 days, but it was almost impossible to notice...

Arco just kept standing in the background waiting to get the horses and leave the city...

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 05:28 PM

Celia waved. "Okay, bye, Mister Redguard-whose-name-I-still-didn't-get! Bye, Sel! Good luck with mister bossy Imperial guy!"

Cheerfully, she turned to Jonacin. "So, it's two Redguards, Serene," she hugged her tightly and continued, "er, Mister Nord, and two Dunmer, right?" She looked around. "Hey, where's the other Dunmer guy?" She tried raising her voice a bit. "Arco? Hey, where are you, silly Dunmer?"

(OOC: It's okay, guys. tongue.gif Just keep responding, I guess. You guys can respond to Celia, if you want. )

"Lets just get out of here cant we..." Arco replied in a way to Celia as he leaned against the wall hiding in the shadows on this sunny day...

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 06:01 PM

(OOC: Sorry, slow computer....)

Celia giggled and Serene chuckled as Sel and Jona bantered among themselves. Serene said, "So, are we going or what?"

Celia nodded. "But wait a second, m'kay?" Celia smiled and took Arco's hand, trying to drag him towards the stables. "Come with us, Arco. Please?"

Posted by: Fuzzy Knight May 30 2005, 06:15 PM

"Well... its either to go with you, or continue my endless journey as a loner" Arco said looking a little sad... "Guess I'll stick with you a little more until we have finished this, and then I guess I'm off for my own again.." he said looking into Celia before he started walking along..

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 06:18 PM

Jonacin laughed as Celia dragged a muttering Arco from the shadows. "Looks like you're coming to the stables too Arco" he said with a grin

Posted by: Aki May 30 2005, 06:28 PM

Fenris looked through the horses, before selecting one of the largest horses, one that would be able to carry his weight with ease. The large horse clomped out of the stables with Fenris on its' back.

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 06:37 PM

Celia dragged Arco as well as Serene to the stables, which was big and roomy and was still filled with different sized horses. She stopped and let go of Arco's hand. "You choose a horse, m'kay? I'm going to find me a big horse like Fenris'."

She wandered off with Serene behind her, and chose a friendly and sturdy horse for Serene. "See, he's a real beaut and real strong, good for for you, Serene."

Ignoring Serene's 'thank you', she helped Serene get up the horse and went looking a a large horse for herself.

After a few moments, she found the horse she was looking for, albeit a bit scarred, but she didn't mind. Of course, she paused, for she hadn't ridden a horse for a long time. She screwed up her courage and attempted to get on the horse. She fell several times, but she finally got on, shaky as she was. She lightly tapped the horse's sides and rode slowly towards Fenris.

She glanced around, her eyes picking out horses for Sel and Shakur. "Where do we lead the other horses? Where do we go now, anyway?" she asked the others (OOC: Arco, Serene, Fenris, and Jonacin), who had already chosen their own horses.

OOC: Sorry for not saying I'm got to go earlier, but I was in a rush.

IC: "So Sel, where is this emporer?"

Posted by: Dantrag May 30 2005, 08:18 PM

"Your guess is as good as mine." Sel answered, "Though most leaders such as him stay close to his people, but also detached, if you get my meaning."

They came upon a small half-destroyed house. Sel had an idea.

"Wait here." He told Shakur as he went inside the house. He came back moments later with two worn robes in his hands. "Put this on," he said, tossing one to Shakur. "It will cover our weapons and help us blend in a little. As much as I hate it, this is an assassination. Better if he thinks we are no threat to him."

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 08:21 PM

Shakur removed his ashlander robe he was given in Morroiwind as a gift, put it away and put the new robe on. "I guess if he beat Falx as badly as he said he did, nobility has already been lost in this fight. So, should we call for him, or wait for him to come to us?".

(OOC: Nope, the Emporer has not been involved, I guess u are either talking about the Khajiit Hukai controlled or... Konradude)

Arco picked a black horse, he held it by his side as he threw his cloak around him also covering some of his face...

"So... Lets go for the gates or what?" Arco said as he got ready to get on his horse..

Shakur searched another house, but with no luck. "If this man is a self proclaimed emporer, he may have some power. Let's try looking at the welthier houses".

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 08:48 PM

OOC: Got to go now, Sel, if you don't mind, control Shakur.

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 08:51 PM

Jonacin had looked around the stable for a while after he entered. After a lot of thought, he finally decided on a fine black stallion, about 18 hands high at least. Saddling it, he climbed onto it's back and looked around at the others. "will we go back to the others now then?" he asked

Posted by: Aki May 30 2005, 08:57 PM

Fenris raised a eyebrow at Celia's choice of a horse, and then nodded to Jonacin.

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 09:13 PM

"But what about mister telekenisis(sp?) bully?" Celia glanced questioningly from face to face. "Well, how about some of us stay at the gates and the some of us lead the horses to Sel and Shakur? That way, in case of a trap, some of us would be free to help the rest...?" Celia didn't like that Imperial brute, not one bit. She felt something was wrong with that man...

Posted by: Wolfie May 30 2005, 09:24 PM

"I'll stay behind with their horses" said Jonacin. "I'm needed less than the rest of you, my only skill is killing things, so if something goes wrong you wont be losing someone important"

Posted by: Konradude May 30 2005, 10:22 PM

Myrage checked the faces of the crew he had ridden up to. These weren't the people he'd met! "Oh Azura!! where are they?" He charged round the city trying to find them. Finally he saw Celia on horseback and galloped over to her. Patting his horse he came up beside her, breathing heaily.

Posted by: Red May 30 2005, 11:23 PM

Shakur kept looking for the self proclaimed emporer, but every burned shack and destroyed house, his search seemed pointless.

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 11:38 PM

Celia volunteered to stay with Jona and Serene. "That way, the mages are not stuck anywhere, and we also have a 'bodyguard'. Besides, I have Sel's amulet, so it would make sense for me to stay here..."

Hearing heavy breathing near her, Celia turned towards it. "Oh! Hello, mister Bosmer." Wary, Celia moved her horse closer to Serene's.

Posted by: Konradude May 30 2005, 11:39 PM

Myra frowned, shaking his head and trotting up to the iron gates. He looked around, wondering what was going on. "Where is everyone?" he asked, frowning again and leaping off his horse. He tied it up to the gate by a small bit of rope and sat down by the wall, catching his breath.

"Celia, you and Serene can't both stay, if either of you stays. You two are the only mages in the group who know healing magic, if the others lose you, they're all doomed. I'm the expendable one, you have other fighters to protect you" said Jonacin

Posted by: MerGirl May 30 2005, 11:53 PM

Celia frowned. "You're important in my eyes!" She saw the determined look in the Reguard's eyes, so she gave up. "All right, I guess... But promise not to die on me, m'kay?" She tried to smile. "Because I'll hurt you bigtime if you did..."

Turning to the Bosmer, she said sternly, "None of your beeswax, mister Bosmer."

"The less fighters, the soon they wear, and become injured, the more the healers have to work," Fenris said.

Posted by: Dantrag May 31 2005, 12:07 AM

Sel grew tired of checking houses.

"Maybe he has surrounded himself with the refugees - check the middle of the mob." he said, pointing ahead. "If he isn't there, we could ask around, so the trip isn't a total waste of time..."

Posted by: Red May 31 2005, 12:07 AM

Shakur searched the crowd, but dirty faces was all he could see. He tried to blend into the crowd, or at least to be undetected by possible targets. He searched and searched, until he found a very likely supect. He was surrounded by large men wearing wearing armour. He looked for Sel, until he found him. "I found him, he's surrounded by guards though. I think if you or I start a diversion, the other can lure him out".

Posted by: Konradude May 31 2005, 12:09 AM

Myra suddenly leapt to his feet, and pulled his dark cloak's hood well over his eyes. 2 jumped onto his horse and galloped into the main city.

Half an hour later he came back, sporting a new horse being pulled along by a rope and a considerabely larger filled bag.

"I prefer a more direct approach. I never said we were stealthy assassins. I can take care of the guards if you can get the leader. We'll go from there." Sel said.

And before Shakur could argue, Sel had already rid himself of the cumbersome cloak and slashed a guard's neck.

Posted by: Red May 31 2005, 12:34 AM

Shakur jumped at the mage, who was attempting a spell, and used his shoulder to send the mage wobbling. The mage regained his footing, and got ready to cast. He shocked shakur, but it seemed to only anger him. Shakur lifted his hands and set the mages cloak ablaze, giving him time to get close. He charged, still not drawing his sword, and tackled the old man. The old man lifted his right hand, throwng Shakur off of him. The mage rid himself of his burning cloak, and stood back up. He redied his hands, but something wasn't right, something was terrible about his eyes. He shot a fire ball, which grew and grew as it sword. It exploded so fast it set shakurs robe on fire before it knocked him down. Shakur got up with a new determination. "Your thread in this prophecy is dwindlng" Said Shakur. Another fire ball was shot at him, smaller, but just as dangerous. The mage laughed, until he saw the still burning Redguard run through the fire ball. He was holding his Claymore, a sign that he didn't want to kill this man, he wanted to exterminate him. Just like the daedra, just like the asassins. He threw his sword through the newly forming ball of ice, and into the mage's stomach. The mage was in shocked disbelief. Shakur, still running, was now infront of the terrible mage. He lifted his left hand, and watched as his gauntlet's glass spikes cut deeply into the mage. He tackled his dieing body, and watched as his claymore lifted as the body laid on the ground. He picked up his sword to help Sel with the guards, after putting out the flames ofcourse.

OOC: Was that a good enough fight seen for you all?

Posted by: Dantrag May 31 2005, 01:09 AM

"Good of you to join me!" Sel shouted over the sound of steel against steel. His glowing longsword stabbed through another man's chest, showering Sel with blood. "Five." he muttered to himself, running to help Shakur with the last guard standing.

He was dead before Sel got there.

"Clumsy assassination, but effective nontheless." He said cheerily to Shakur.

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 01:13 AM

Jonacin heard a lot of noise from a large group of refugees, he looked over and saw the aftermath of a battle, Sel and Shakur standing amongst the dead bodies of the self-proclaimed emperor and his guards

Posted by: Red May 31 2005, 01:29 AM

"You missed the fight of your life sir. um, I don't believe we've been properly introduced" Shakur looked at Jocain strangely, wondering why he only learned two peoples names so far. Shakur noticed that after his adrenaline rush, he was bleeding badly from the back of his leg.

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 01:31 AM

"I'm Joncain, a Blademaster. I hail from Hammerfell. Who might you be?" said Jonacin

Posted by: Red May 31 2005, 01:36 AM

"I am Shakur the Red, battle mage. I too hail from Hammerfell, Sentenil to be exact. I am happy to know we have such a noble blade master in our party". Shakur tried to seem as polite as he could to a better warrior, as his customs demanded him to, so he added a bow.

OOC: sorry Dantrag.

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 01:39 AM

Jonacin returned the bow, even though Shakur's had looked a little........strained........as if he hated having to do it. But that didn't matter.
"We should get back to the others. It's time to leave this cesspit of a city" he said, wheeling his horse and riding back to where Serene and Celia waited

"Fast travel for us." He said to Shakur. Sel touched the redguard with his hand and activated his amulet.

They appeared right in front of Celia.

"Hello, sweetie!" he said cheerily with a big smirk on his face.

Posted by: Red May 31 2005, 01:45 AM

"Yeah, I think I may need your assistence if you don't mind Celia" Shakur took off his boot and pulled up his pants to show the healer his deep cut, which had made him start to go white in the face.

(OOC: Got it, Red!)

Celia nearly fell off of her horse when Sel and Shakur materialized out of nowhere in front of her. "Oh, you bad Dunmer! You could have given a girl a warning or two!"

She then dismounted as the Redguard showed off his injury to her. "Oh, dear! Let me see what I can do about that..."

She kneeled down to look at the deep and painful-looking gash, and sucked her teeth when she saw how serious it was. "Ooh, ooh." She gestured for the Redguard to keep off the injured leg area.

"Okay, relax, relax. You're making me nervous when you're all tense like that..." She positioned her hands over the injury and a glow emitted from them, slowly healing the injury as much as she could.

As she healed, she whispered to Serene, "Could you help me, please? I don't want to exhaust my healing so soon." As Serene's hand slipped into hers, Celia started to combine her healing powers with Serene's. The healing went by much faster this time, and the gash disappeared.

Celia and Serene smiled. Celia clapped her hands. "Yay! We did it!" She touched the spot where the injury was located. "See? Nothing!" She asked Shakur, "Now, let's see if you can walk. Your leg might feel a little numb..."

Atop the Stone Ramparts of the Walls...

"You're friends are strong Knight, especially that one with the claymore" Emperor Gustok explained, "You all will play a vital role in my empire. It will be one that makes Tiber Septims look of rubish!"

"How dare you disgrace the name of the Nine Divines!" Falx eye's were red with all the exertion of late, "Hmpf, strong they may be, but they won't help you!" He roared in difiance, "You see, they already killed one of your luetanits(SP?)! Just wait untill they find you Emperor."

Gustok face lit with glee, "Hahaha, do you really think they possesse the power to stop me?! For long I have practiced my arts, perfecting and building the perfect spells. I will not fall, and too make it more fun, go tell your friends what I have told you. Explain to them how they should go about fighting me! It will only be a game in my eye anyway..."

Falx turned around and left the ramparts.

"Grr, that bastards to strong, theres got to be a way though" Falx glared up at Gustok, the smile that he wore brought a sickness over Falx that one cannot understand.

He mounted his horse and casualy trotted towards the stables.

Catching wind of Sel and his companion Falx called out, "Sel, come over here! I have important news!"

Falx looked at his sword, "Im sorry, but that was a mere henchman, someone to get you all to come out into his trap and witness your fighting ability's. Hell, I could of beat that guy in one swing, but Gustok is going to take quite a bit more."

Posted by: Dantrag May 31 2005, 04:45 AM

"Will I ever get out of this damned city?" Sel shouted, his still-drawn blade glowed an even brighter green, sensing Sel's anger. The young dunmer noticed, and sheathed it.

"What else can we do?" Sel asked as he sat down, burying his face in his hands.

Posted by: Channler May 31 2005, 05:24 AM

"I have no idea, but for some reason he wants us to be his puppets. I don't like the sound of that.." Falx looked off to where Gustok was standing

"Regaurdless, we need to get these people out of the city before another Deadra attack happens. Go get everyone and start them hearding the refugee's out the city, to where who knows."

"I'm going to keep a close eye on our new "emperor". Right now information is our greatest ally. Now that I think about it, let me contact Channler Hadrian. He has the support of the Northren Legions, he might be able to help us."

-=-=-=-

Northren Province - Small Nordic Town

"HEY HO, HEY HO, WHERE'D THAT MAID GO!! SHE GOES FOR OUR RUM, TO PUT IN OUR TUMMMM! SO WIIIITH OUR ALE WE GO TO JAAAILL, I HATE THEIR COLD STONE SHACKS, HEY HO, WHERE'D THAT MAID GO!" Channler Hadrian, tipsy as a Bosmer on rocks (Moon Sugar), stood atop a table in a Nordic inn, making a fool of himself while trying to sing.

Channler Hadrian was Centurion of the North, a new title granted to give the locals something to fear about. But Channler was no body to fear, for he was a frequent visiter to many of the bars and a advent gambler. He had some skill with a sword to..

"Ok! I bet this nice little shirt right here" Channler pointed to the one he was wearing, "And these two fangled things the emperor gave me!" The Nords laughed at him, "Noo! We don't need those, those are your ranks! We wouldn't want some stiff neck moving in here would we?"
To the Channler simply replied, "Hell no, nevermind, but If I win this little bet of ours then I get Risi tonight!" The Nords gave a sarcastic whistle, Risi was a big women, even by Nordic standards, her voice was very masculine and she smelt of old Kwama Eggs.
"Oh sir Channler, you'd be very lucky to get her" One of the Nords grinned. But it didn't matter, because Channler was drunk beyond all of his sense's. He'd probobaly wake up in some alley way in the city and forgot why he was even here.

Several hours of gambling went by and... Sir Hadrian lost all of his bets, and everything but his helmet, "Well fellows... I'm gonna go back to the fort before one of these fine nordic women decides to take advantage of me" Risi blew a kiss at Channler, "Hahaha, don't you all wish you were as lucky as me?"

The Nords laughed so hard they started to cry.

Sel never brought his head up.

"Our actions are bringing us closer to a full-scale war. We can't be fighting each other right now. These demons are more important than someone trying to usurp the throne." He said to the ground.

He got up, looking resigned.

"I'm not fighting in this war. I'll get the refugees out, but I will not fight in this war." A long silence followed before Sel got up. "I'm going for a walk." he announced.

Falx patted Sel on the shoulder, "If I were you I'd get as far away as possible. I don't want to see you all involved in a war, but I fear that if you don't help us here countless people will die."

Sel heard Falx, but didn't reply. He merely brushed his long hair out of his eyes and walked down the street to clear his head.

Sel didn't want to fight in a war where he hated both sides. At least with his "assassination" he only had to choose the lesser of two evils - stop the fake emperor or people will die. But in a large war, Sel could never pick a side. The current Empire was corrupt in Sel's mind, and the usurper was merely a power-hungry thug. The line between good and evil was supposed to be clear...it wasn't.

If he sided with the Septim line, he would be supporting the very system he blamed for letting his sister's murderer go.

If he sided with Gustok, he would be helping an age of tyranny.

He decided he would make his goal the evil mage...worry about the war when he actually had to make a choice. He found himself in the City Square, staring up at the statue of Tiber Septim. Why did you feel the need to conquer? Why do people worship you? Sel thought. He turned around, heading back towards the friends he left.

"Good and evil, but I still can't involved. Good and evil are just names, both claim the other is evil. There must be something to do, but I won't help viscous murderers or the empire that attacked me, or even the rebellion. Makes me wonder why Azura sent me here". Shakur was still limping from his leg, but the healers had helped it amazingly. Shakur cleaned the blood of his sword but not his gauntlet, for it was a trophy of success. Shakur looked at his gauntlet "Maybe I am crazy, but you need a name. You are fast, deadly, manuverable and light, but unnamed. I know, I shall name you Cyrus, after the great hero" Shakur looked around to make sure no one heard him speaking to his gauntlet. Shakur pulled out a small jurnal from his old ashlanders robe, and put the robe on. He, like he does after many battles, wrote a poem.

Myrage furrowed his brow, thinking hard. "I havea feeling that mage is going to do something soon...something real bad...maybe we should get going?"

Posted by: Fuzzy Knight May 31 2005, 02:21 PM

Arco satt by his horse not far from Serene, Celia and the others. He wasn't used to travel by horse but he controlled it good as he was waiting to move on out on this city...

Posted by: Dantrag May 31 2005, 04:04 PM

Sel walked back to the stables where everyone still sat.

"Let's get the refugees out of here." Sel said. "We'll go from there."

Posted by: Fuzzy Knight May 31 2005, 04:33 PM

"Sure..." Arco said, and he just raised a eyebrow and replied "Where are we going by the way?"

Posted by: MerGirl May 31 2005, 04:59 PM

Celia overheard the others, but didn't say anything for awhile. Good? Evil? I think the Empire's good... sometimes... But I really don't want to fight a big war, just because someone is a bit spoiled and bratty...

After a few moments, she made up her mind. I'll stay with these guys and fight demons and maybe an evil mage, instead... "I say we escort the refugees as far as the outskirts of the city... We don't want demons attacking the refugees..." She paused. "But that's it. I'm not escorting them any further. I don't want that kind of responsibility for too long." She mumbled under her breath, "And I hate crowds..."

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 05:13 PM

Jonacin agreed with Celia. "These refugees are the responsibility of the emperor, self proclaimed or otherwise. We can escort them as far as tha city outskirts, but after that they're on their own. We have more important things to be doing"

Posted by: Fuzzy Knight May 31 2005, 05:16 PM

"Lets get moving then" Arco said starting waving his hands forward...

Posted by: Dantrag May 31 2005, 05:19 PM

"Agreed." Sel said, "I'm not taking refugees past the outskirts either. And from there, I guess I will try to track down the mage, not Gustak, but the one that soultrapped me awhile ago...I won't be convinced to join this war unless I see a side I agree with."

Posted by: MerGirl May 31 2005, 07:59 PM

Escorting refugees... shouldn't be too hard, thought Celia. "All right, then." She and Serene rode towards the refugees. Blushing, Celia raised her voice above the mumbling crowd, "Listen up! We're leaving now, and we'll escort you as far as the outskirts of the city." She glanced back at her companions, then turned to the refugees once again.

"We," she pointed to her companions and the Knight, as well as Serene and herself, "will protect you from harm as we escort you, so please, try to keep up."

She pointed to herself and Serene. "We have some healing magic, so if you're injured, please talk to us."

By now, the refugees seemed more calmer, but still tense and grumbling.

Celia felt uncomfortable and rode back towards he companions. "Okay, so, are we going right now?" Her question was directed specifically towards the Knight. "Because, no offense, I do not wish to wait for mister bully's permission, m'kay?"

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 08:09 PM

Jonacin was a little hurt that Celia had completely ignored his presence, but he took up a flanking position alongside the crowd of refugees anyway, and began herding them towards the city gates

Posted by: Dantrag May 31 2005, 08:15 PM

Sel stayed behind the refugees for two reasons : to keep to himself, and to guard the rear. But mostly the former.

He had taken his brain power from the task of finding right and wrong in the imminent war, and put it to thinking about where the mage could be and how he could possibly be stopped.

He tried to remember each room he walked through in the mage's lair, trying to find a clue as to where it was. And as much as he hated it, he had also been asking Azura for guidance - though not very reverently. If she wanted him to do something, she had better tell him.

Sel looked ahead, and noticed that a small altmer girl started lagging behind the group. Sel was moving faster than the toddler, and when Sel came up to her he asked, "Where are your parents?" The girl sniffed and wiped her eyes. "I don't know."

Sel looked around for any altmer, but saw none. "Don't worry, we'll find them." he said, still looking for a sign of the girl's parents.

"What's your name?" Sel asked her.

"Triel." she answered.

Sel picked her up and said, "I'm Sel."

Sel planned to find Celia - she was better suited to taking care of young girls - but couldn't find her. So instead, he walked through the mass of refugees with a little girl on his shoulders, looking for her parents.

So far, he had only found two altmer, and neither was a parent of Triel.

Posted by: Channler May 31 2005, 08:16 PM

YOU HEARD THE GIRL! LETS MOVE!" Falx roared above the crowd of thousands. It took several minutes just to get everyone to point in the right direction. Falx gestured for the group to follow him.

"I know the you all do not want to get involved in a war, I can't blame you. But I, being a Knight of the Empire, and a Imperial, need to do my best to defend it, and that includes everyone that is apart of it." Falx looked ahead, they were slowly leading the refugee's out of the city. "If the empire falls I'm afraid it will be a dark time for Nirn..."

Falx rode ahead of everyone, he smelt evil in the air.

Posted by: Aki May 31 2005, 09:48 PM

Fenris rode alongside the refugees, he felt like a sheepdog. Thats exactly what this felt like. The sheepdogs herding the sheep. But where then, where the wolves that came to prey on the flock? Fenris began to really dislike the city. Too damn big. Too many angles of attack. He passed a temple, frowning when he saw the statue, and the state of the temple.

Kynareth's temple, and it was in ruins. Kynareth, Kyne, was one of the Aedra held in most reverance by Nords, esspecially Tongues. It was personal now.

Posted by: MerGirl May 31 2005, 10:10 PM

Celia was a bit confused on whether she should stay in front of, behind, or beside of the refugees... If she stayed in the back, she could be attacked. If she stayed in the front, she was still vulnerable.

Twiddling with a strand of hair in a state of confusion, she continued along the left side of the refugees. She glanced from the corner of her eye and saw Serene in the distance, on the right side of the refugees. She smiled at Serene. Serene smiled and waved back before turning her attention to some young children.

Celia surveyed the group. She tried to locate her companions, but she could only see a few of them. The refugees were many, and the crowd stretched far, far behind her. How were they going to defend all these refugees?

It was nearly sundown when they finally reached the outskirts of the city, and Celia sighed in relief and began to feel at peace. However, that moment only lasted for a several seconds, before she heard loud growling sounds. "Oh, no. Not again..."

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 10:26 PM

Jonacin was bored by sunset. They had been herding the refugees towards the gates all day, and it was a very tedious task trying to keep them moving. Then he heard the growling, and he suddenly decided that boring was better than trying to fight demons amidst a horde of paniced refugees. He decided to wait until the last minute to ready his weapons, in order to avoid causing the refugees to panic before the beasts even arrived

Posted by: Konradude May 31 2005, 10:28 PM

Myra rode a way behind serene, watching her intently. He saw the outskirts of the city finally approaching, a suprisingly abrupt end of of buildings. He shouted to anyone in the group who was listening.

"So is this mage guy in oblivion? If he is then we can just wait until a portal opens, cross our fingers and dive in. Maybe we'll land outside his front door!"

Myra was too busy thinking with all the thought power he had of a way of finding the mage to hear the low rumblings of a growl to the west.

Posted by: MerGirl May 31 2005, 10:44 PM

(OOC: on the slow computer, again)

Celia nervously glanced at Serene, who only nodded her head. Obviously, Serene had heard it, too. Celia could see that Serene had prepared and focused her magic in order to throw out spells that would be needed.

Celia turned to her left, then to her right, trying to figure out the direction the demons or beasts were coming from. Oh, no, oh, no! she thought. They're coming from both sides. What should she say to the refugees? Should she be blunt and tell them what's going on?

Celia desperately looked for the Knight, but he was too far in the front. She glanced back and saw Jonacin. "Hey, Jona!" she rode towards him, keeping an eye in the direction she assumed where the growls were coming from. "What should I do? Should I fight? Should I tell someone?"

In the middle of her questions, a large creature came rushing at the two of them, claws extended and jaws wide open, revealing pointy, sharp teeth and a mouth filled with fresh blood.

Posted by: Konradude May 31 2005, 10:55 PM

Myra, slipped quietly away, to sneak around the back of the animals. months later after the refugees had gone he was found dead...well some of him was found anyway.(I'm done roleplaying, my character sucks)

Posted by: Wolfie May 31 2005, 11:28 PM

Jonacin turned when Celia called out to him, but then whipped around when he heard the beast running towards them. In one fluid motion, he slid his sword from its scabard and lopped it's head off. The refugees began to panic, running towards the city gates in disarray. "We have no choice, we have to stay and fight!" he shouted over the noise of the paniced people, "if we try to run we'll be dragged down and killed! Let the refugees run and form a protective wall behind them, don't let anything past!"

Posted by: MerGirl May 31 2005, 11:57 PM

Celia nodded in reply to Jona's shouts. "All right. If you stay and fight, I will, too!" She rode around to bash an occasional beast-demon-thing or two, and searched for the others.

In the middle of the panicking, retreating crowd, she spotted Sel with a young Altmer girl on his shoulders. Celia's breath was nearly taken away as another large beast towered over Sel and the refugees from the side. Suddenly, the beast froze as small glowing sparks covered its body. Serene was using a paralye spell onto it.

That's great, but it's going to wear off, sooner or later! Not to mention there's more coming our way...

Celia shouted as she waved, "Sel, get over here!"

Posted by: Wolfie Jun 1 2005, 12:08 AM

Jonacin was getting irritated. He could see that many refugee bore weapons, yet still they ran, leaving him and the others to fight overwhelming against odds. He cut down another demon with a disembowelling slash, and caught a lunge from anothers claws on his shield before running it through. The mound of corpses before him was growing, but the beasts kept coming. his armour ha been reant a nd torn again, and fresh blood was pouring from new wounds. If the others didn't show up soon, this was going to be his last fight

Posted by: Aki Jun 1 2005, 12:24 AM

Several of the demons were blasted into the air as Fenris road past, his shout utilmately sending them to be dashed on the city walls. He charged into the fray, shouts sending the beast flying, or crushing them into the ground. his blade whipped about, tearing into them with ease.

Posted by: Red Jun 1 2005, 01:14 AM

Shakur rode woth the refugees for a few second, before he know there was no danger for them. He pulled the reins of the horse till it whipped around. "Ride!" Shakur yelled, drawing his claymore. He saw one of the larger monsters that was making it's way toward Sel. He jumped at the monster, landding behind it. He swung his claymore, cutting of three of it's six legs. "These monsters are definately some sort of new daedric foot soldier". Shakur didn't remount his horse, but told it to run and hide. "Sel, get that Child out of here! We'll flank the back of the stragglers chasing you!". Shakur ran towards another beast until it opened it's jaws opened, so he shot a fire ball into it.

Posted by: Channler Jun 1 2005, 01:34 AM

All was calm in the front gaurd, the sun was slowly setting and it was nice and cool, Falx could almost fall asleep...

"By the Nine! Look the beasts have returned!!" A peasent shouted.

Falx turned around, there were hundreds of them, they looked almost as bears and dogs, but evil.

"Keep refugees moving forward!! I'm going to help the center guard!"

Off falx dashed, it would be at least 30 seconds before he'd reach the foul creatures. He ready his broadsword... Contact!

He sliced at the neck of one of the beasts, then two and three, there were to many!

He saw Jonacin was in trouble, already 6 of the beasts had surrounded him, and none of the peasents would help him!

"Ride Akatosh, lets save our friends!" Falx whispered to his horse. Falx forced his horse to leap in the air then come down and crush beast standing behind Jonacin. Jumping off his horse he went back to back with Jonacin.

"Stealing all the fun are we?" Falx grinned

Posted by: Red Jun 1 2005, 01:37 AM

Waiting for dantrag.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 01:40 AM

Sel nodded his thanks to Serene for the paralyzation. He put the little girl down beside him and drew his sword.

"Stay close to me Triel." Sel ordered. He did not go out of his way to attack any demons - not with a responsibility like Triel. He heard Celia's shout, but could do nothing with demons crossing his path. He had to constantly remind himself not to rush blindly into the fight. As soon as he saw an opening, he sheathed his sword and scooped up Triel, running towards Serene and Celia.

As he was running, he saw an altmer couple overcome by a mass of demons.

Sel covered Triel's eyes so she would not see. He prayed that those people were not Triel's parents.

Posted by: Wolfie Jun 1 2005, 01:42 AM

Jonacin grined when Falx leapt into the fray beside him. "It's about time you showed up, i thought i'd have to deal with these pests all by myself" he said conversationaly as he gutted another of the beasts, and then decapitated one that lunged in from his left, "but i think i'm in need of some healing, a few of the buggers have managed to scratch me". He groaned and clutched at his side, where there was a particularly vicious rent in the armour with blood pouring copiously from it. "Celia!!!!! I need some healing here, FAST!!!!" he yelled, slicing the arm off another beast before stumbling and falling to one knee, growing weak from bloodloss. He continued to fight, but knew that the end was near if he didn't get healing soon

Posted by: Red Jun 1 2005, 01:53 AM

OOC: ok I gotta go now, one of you can play for me, but no major decisions like having me eaten by plants.

Posted by: Channler Jun 1 2005, 02:43 AM

"Hang in there Jonacin!" Falx said has he hack off one of the beasts legs, "I'm sure she'll be here shortly.." They both were getting over run, not even the great Tiber Septim could stop these hordes.

A horn bellowed to the distance.

"That sounds like the horn we use for the Legions!" Falx watched as many imperial Knights thudded over the hills, "Thank the 9, the Dragon Riders are here!"

Posted by: Aki Jun 1 2005, 05:38 AM

Fenris was in the thick of the creatures, riding about on his horse. The things were smart, they stayed out of the radius his shouts covered. He continued fighting, not even noticing the aid coming. "Ya want Nord for dinner? Come get it!" he yelled.

Several more daedric beasts faded from this realm as their corpses hit various objects with bonecrushing impact.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 06:05 AM

When he got to Celia, Sel gently handed Triel to her open arms.

"Take good care of her." He said just before drawing his sword and dagger and jumping onto the nearest demon's back.

He stabbed the daedra through the back of the neck and jumped off before its body disentegrated back into Oblivion. He wiped the blood that had splattered on his face off, and charged into the next demon that showed its face.

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 10:10 AM

Konrad looked around him, wondering if the other people were goin to do something. Upon confirming nothing was happening he unsheathed his sword and charged out of the group of refugees, his small army behind them.

Coming face to face with a beast he rolled beneath its scattered legs and sliced as he rolled, choping it in half. As he got up from the roll he heard two of his other group killing another and saw another member charging for a beast single handed.

"No Caius! You're not strong enough!" he cried, but slowly watched him get devoured by the thing. He released a shout of rage and charged at another beast, hacking at it until it moved no longer. Behind him he could hear the shouting of orders from his second in command, followed by a gurgle. He quickly turned round and was splattered wth blood from his luieftenant, his neck sliced open.

Falling to hisi knees Konrad prayed to the nine divines that no more of his men would be killed. As he was doing this the two remaining soldiers were surrounded, one of them being killed and one being snatched up by an imperial knight. "YES!" he yelled, grasping his sword and wrenching it from the ground, then swining round an dcharging at the beasts.

Posted by: Red Jun 1 2005, 12:40 PM

Shakur rushed to Jonacin's aid as fast as he could, casting spells on the way. Shakur ran at the beasts and head butted one to get their attention. He had them follow him to the hoarde of rushing imperials.

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 01:24 PM

Konrad was locked in combat with one the beasts, but had respite as it sniffed the air and ran away, charging towards Jonacin with the rest of them. He sliced one of the foul beast's legs away from under it as it ran towards the tasty blood. He sprinted after the beasts, beating a few of them in speed and running them into the ground with his blade.

He bent down while running and grasped his dagger, running with increased fury. He span as one jumped for him, getting sliced across the chest but digging out its heart at the same time.

He stumbled along now, tiring.

Posted by: MerGirl Jun 1 2005, 04:24 PM

Celia sighed in relief as reinforcements came in, but soon became miffed when Sel handed her a small young girl into her arms. Greeeat, as if being a healer wasn't enough. Now, I'm a nurse, as well. She glanced down at the girl. "All right, be a brave girl, now. I can't concentrate if you cry, m'kay?" She bashed the nearest demon with her hammer. "See? I'll take care of you..."

Celia's ears picked up the shouting of Jonacin. "Oh, dear, Jona!" She forced her horse to run fast, despite the demons lunging from different directions. Celia told the girl, "Hold on tight, and don't cry, m'kay?"

The little girl nodded nervously as demons approached them from behind. Luckily, Serene blasted them with a few fireballs. Thank goodness for magic, thought Celia as she rode towards where Jona was kneeling.

"Jona, Jona, you okay? Oh, you're bleeding badly!" She dismounted from the horse, and told the girl, "Now, be brave, and don't cry!"

Celia turned to Jona, and concentrated on healing him as fast as she could. Fortunately, Falx and Shakur were there to help defend against incoming demons.

"Come on, come on, come on." Celia was starting to get impatient. She used her willpower to completely heal the spot, which became a small scar instead. But Jona should live.

Celia felt a huge headache coming on, especially with the small girl whimpering. "It's okay, little girl. It's okay. Shh, shh, shh."

Celia smiled at Jona, despite her headache. "Hey, I told you not to die on me!"

Shakur ran with the front lines of the imperials. Shakur's adrenaline rush ran off. He finally understood what he was doing, rushing into a mass of the monsters. But was he afraid? No. There was no time to be afraid. Arrows were flung at the monsters and shakur did his best shooting fire balls to knock them down.

OOC: Dantrag, if your waiting for fuzzy to post, he left so post away.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 05:20 PM

Sel was surrounded, but he didn't care. He slashed to the left, releiving a demon of its head. He quickly charged through the hole he made on the cricle just before he stabbed another in the back. His sword pierced the demon's armor, but got stuck. Sel cursed his luck. He let go of his sword, and picked up a nearby daedric longsword. Sel didn't like the feel of the heavy longsword, but it was better than fighting with only a dagger.

Sel noticed a young imperial boy fighting the demons - and doing quite well. He ran towards the boy, slashing demons all along the way. there were four demons crowding him, and Sel took the opportunity to insert his sword into the closest demon's back.

Sel put his back to the boy's. "I got your back and your left. You get your front and your right."

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 05:47 PM

Konrad wiped the sweat off his brow, seeing the dunmer run up and help.

"Thank you sir." He slashed ahead of him, but the beast jumped to his right hand side. He stabbed out with his left hand, turning 90 degrees to the right. He sheathed his dagger and gripped the sword hilt with his other hand. He swung out, slicing through the necks of 2 of the beasts. His arms were screaming at him to stop with pain, but he put his mind to the task of defeating the next monster.

This one was big, with a baker's dozen of heads, and twice as many legs. It lunged out with its clawed limb, and smashed him to the ground. Spitting blood from his mouth Konrad picked himself up, and jumped to the floor again, sliding between two of the things legs. He faced upwards and stabbed his sword through the beast's weak stomach, the point of the blade emerging from the top of the central skull with an escort of a blood shower.

The dagger followed suite, and Konrad crawled out of the way of the animal quickly before it bellowed a death cry and slumped to the floor. Konrad ran up to it again and withdrew his instruments, then turning back to the dunmer.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 05:55 PM

Sel faked right with his longsword, the demon went for it. Sel promptly threw his dagger into its face. The demon fell to the ground, and Sel pulled free his dagger and went for the next daedra. After a few more kills, Sel grew tired of the game.

He turned to the young imperial. "Run towards that altmer over there!" he yelled. "It would be easier if we were all together fighting than all spread out like this."

He helped the imperial kill the demon he was fighting before finally running off towards Celia.

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 06:00 PM

Konrad followed in the direction of the dunmer warrior, now lagging behind. He tried to actually see the altmer but couldn't, there was too much happening and too much gore to see anything clearly.

He ran to a horse that one of the knights had been killed off. Slipping on some blood he fell face forwards, grasping onto one of the harness straps and being dragged alongside the dunmer by the panicking horse.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 06:05 PM

If there weren't a thousand demons murdering people around him, Sel might have laughed. Instead, He jumped up onto the horse and pulled the imperial up behind him.

Having never ridden a horse before he came to Cyrodiil, he wasn't a very experienced rider. And, he had never ridden a crazed horse before. There wasn't much he could do besides hold on. When they got close to Celia, Sel pulled on the reins, but the spooked horse did more than stop. He threw Sel and the imperial off of his back before running away.

"That's one way to do it." Sel said, rubbing his head.

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 06:11 PM

Konrad wiped the mud from around his eyes and mouth, looking around at the carnage. He stood up again as quickly as possible, unsheathing his sword. The knights' numbers were now slowly depleting, but they had killed many. Konrad's last soldier had also been killed, but he had no time to think about that. He pulled the dunmer to his feet, and lashed out at another beast witjh his knife, slicing of its head.

He ran to the side of the altmer and patient, and stood beside them, sword dancing between the enemy lines.

Posted by: Hukai The Wandering Jun 1 2005, 06:22 PM

"Hmm, it seems the monster are escaping by themselves now, how curious." The dark figure had been sitting in silince while watching his new prey through an enchanted mirror. As he sat in his dark throne, watching with acute intrest, an idea formed. "What if," He said to himself, a slight smile forming on his lips. "I were to make an appearance? I could then hqve time to subdue my pathetic enemies and tranform them into my own magika....Perhaps i will."

Uttering those final words, Arcyatk drew himself up out of his black seat and turned to leave his castle. He headed for his room of enchanted mirrors and paused, deciding on the best way to interput the fighting,

Posted by: Channler Jun 1 2005, 06:30 PM

It was dark, the fighting lasted from sundown to moon up. Many beasts were still lurching on. Falx walked up to the boy,

"Thats some fine swordsmanship you posesse boy, I'm sorry about your friends.."

Falx looked up into the dark blue sky, nothing but death these last few days. It seemed as though the gods were leaving people alone to their own matters. Falx looked at Sel,

"Do we have any word on the status of the refugees? From the looks of it 100's died here, and thats not counting those that will die of disease and such." agrunt sounded from Falx, "Where is the emperor now? I'm going to go speak with commander Varros, the Knight in charge of those Reinforcements we just recieved." Falx walked off to go find him..

"Hail Sir Varro!" Falx gave a slight bow, only to show respect, "What word is there, and how have you found us?"

"It will sadden you if I were to tell you, but a member from Sir Darius' party manage to escape the chaos... Darius is dead, along with the Knights under his command. No one is among your ranks either Albarnias?"

"No sir.. Those damn beasts changed my men, they turned them into creatures more foul than any other.." Falx was burning with anger, "I request permision to stay with these adventurer's, we have learned off the source of these, problems. It seems as though there is a mage of the sort, that he has the ability to defy Arkays laws and soul trap people!"

"Yes, it would seem that, that takes priority, find this menace and report back to me. We will take control of these refugee's and lead them to safety, you and your freinds deeds are wonderous, I wihs there were mor epeople like you in this world.. Dimissed."

Falx ran back to Sel and the others, "Well, the refugee's aren't our problem anymore, I managed to get Commander Varro to take control of them, now we can focus on the mage..."

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 06:33 PM

Konrad nodded thanks from the Imperial knight, and went to find his friends' dead bodies. He slowly gathered them together in the middle of the battlefield and buried them side by side, stabbing their swords in the ground over their seperate bodies.

Returning to the group he saw they were to leave the refugees. He had no-one in the rabble of sheep to go to, so picked up his courage. "I...would like to join you on your quest to find this mage you speak of."

His face was hard and cold, the shock of his friends' deaths and his first real battle toughening him up more than his training ever did.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 06:39 PM

Sel nodded to the imperial. "You can travel with us on one condition - you have to tell us your name."

Posted by: Channler Jun 1 2005, 06:39 PM

Falx looked a little shocked (and proud on the inside) that one so young would want to fight, "Sel, err, I'm gonna let you take care of this one.."

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 06:41 PM

Konrad stared at the dunmer, "It's Konrad sir, but I would also like to learn the names of al of you." He gestured towards the group, his hand dripping blood.

Posted by: Dantrag Jun 1 2005, 06:42 PM

Sel took it upon himself to introduce everyone.

"I'm Sel, this is Falx, Serene, Celia, Triel, where the hell is Arco?, Jonacin, Fenris, and Shakur." he said pointing to each one.

OOC: I didn't forget anyone, did i?

Konrad bowed to them each in turn. "This is quite a travelling party," He said, noticing nearly all races bar beasts were there.

[quote]"Hmm, it seems the monster are escaping by themselves now, how curious." The dark figure had been sitting in silince while watching his new prey through an enchanted mirror. As he sat in his dark throne, watching with acute intrest, an idea formed. "What if," He said to himself, a slight smile forming on his lips. "I were to make an appearance? I could then hqve time to subdue my pathetic enemies and tranform them into my own magika....Perhaps i will."

Uttering those final words, Arcyatk drew himself up out of his black seat and turned to leave his castle. He headed for his room of enchanted mirrors and paused, deciding on the best way to interput the fighting,[/quote]

Arcyatk stood, in a trance for hours, deep in thought and watching the fight come to a slow crawl with most of the creature destroyed. With a snap like lightning, he shook himself out of his trance. Noticing that night had fallen while he stood dormint, the sorrcerer magically changed his clothes and his overall appearance with a mere wave of his darkened hand. He sighed. "It seems while in my thinking much time has pasted, perhaps I should try a different method.

The mage stepped forward, into one of his shimmering mirrors. Flying through time in the spell of the enchanted glass, Arcayatk took the few seconds to go over his plan. Although he was immensly powerful and had escaped Oblivion, he was still mortal, though, not by much. If his plan backfired then the altmer would need a contingency plan. I will appear in full disguse at the camp and pretend to have come back from fighting. With this my magic, no one should be able to recognise me. He smiled slightly at this thought. After the camp is quiet and sleeping, I shall unleash a horde of my...favortite...creations and take out the guards and refuges. Arcyatk noticed that the trip was alomst over. Then I will find and kill the emporer, naming myself ruler of the entire country. The mage smiled deeply at his plan and stepped out of the closing portal. His magic had brought his just outside the camp and in a cluster of trees. Using his magic once again, Arcyatk inflicked several deep wounds upon himself to match his story. Prepared, he staggered out into the opne, calling for help before "fainting" and falling to the ground.

Sel pointed to the fallen altmer.

"Celia, look!" he said. He took Triel from her and said. "We might want to do something." He grabbed Celia's hand and pulled her towards the injured altmer.

(OOC: sorry for these long posts! :embarrassed2: )

Celia nodded her head, a bit tired, but understood the urgent situation. "All right, all right, Sel! I got it, I got it!" She still had a big headache, but she tried to focus all of her healing powers onto the injured Altmer.

Her hands hovered over the Altmer, helping his deep wounds heal over time. However, she had a sense that Altmer had great power. Perhaps he was a mage? Was he one of the refugees? If he was a mage, he would be of great assistance to the refugees.

When the healing was finally done, Celia slowly stood up, her muscles sore after bashing demons and healing the wounded. She leaned over the Altmer. "You can get up now, mister Altmer sir. Though you might feel a bit numb..."

She walked towards Sel and the others, rubbing her tired shoulders. "Well, should we rest a bit? Or should we continue on?" She smiled at the newcomer (Konrad). "Hello, there."

Konrad woke up from his daydream. "Uh, hello..." He wasn't very fond of magic, and had always shied away from it.

Posted by: Hukai The Wandering Jun 1 2005, 08:10 PM

Arcyatk slowly opened his eyes. He lokked aroung wearly before trying in vain to get up. He appeared exasuted. "Uhh." He looked toward the nearest warrior he could see, Sel. "Uhh...Here..." The fake soldier lifted his habnd a few inches in an atempt to motino for Sel to come closer.

Fenris raised a eyebrow at the teenage Imperial. "Fighting in the thick of them things laddie? Heh, ya look like a Imperial, but thats a rather Nordic trait boy," he said with a grin. He looked at the carnage. "Right pathetic beasts, little good for speed and shock value," he said.

"Only good for taking on peasant masses. Nothing against true warriors."

Posted by: Konradude Jun 1 2005, 09:16 PM

Konrad grinned at the big Nord. He took of his leather jerking and unbutton his shirt, wrapping bandages around his chest whre 3 claw marks had cut through the skin. Inside he hoped that the scars would stay. "Maybe we should, like, help the Altmer?"

(OOC: sorry, slow computer)

Celia tiredly raised an eyebrow at the Nord's speech, not sure whether to be annoyed or offended. "And healers with hammers as well as mages go under the true warriors category, I hope?" She narrowed her eyes. "And I wouldn't exactly call those creatures pathetic, just a bit difficult to kill... at least for us unTongue peoples..."

At Konrad's comment, Celia shrugged. "The Altmer was asking for Sel's help, kid."

She pushed Sel roughly towards the Altmer. "So, go help him."

Celia frowned and rubbed her forehead. She still had that throbbing headache. She glanced down at the small Altmer girl who was still with her. "Now, what am I going to do with you?"

Konrad leaned back, whispering to Fenris. "She's a bit grumpy, isn't she? Is she always like this?"
