"I suggest we have several contingency plans in place, and should the wall be lost, an organised fighting retreat to the council hall, where guild guides can teleport our forces soewhere safe. We should have them set up a guide spot in there now, while we have time"

Konrad butted in, upon overhearing the conversation. "Somehwere safe you say? Then they shall have to teleport them very far. We cannot run forever you know."

"I myself have no intention of leaving, should it come to that. But Mournhold would be a good choice to go"

Ryan decided to go on a scouting expedition, seeing as it was noon and Osano STILL wasn't awake. When he approached Ald' Ruhn he noticed that it was heavily fortified and would probably be the hardest one yet...

OOC:ryan didn't step on the grenades in the road because he went crosscounty.

Fenris nodded. "Then it shall be done," he said. "As for where, Mournhold is good."

Konrad snorted slightly. "And you think Arcyatk won't follow us to the ends of Tamriel and back? He's overthrowing existance."

Mage

Arcyakt kicked Vivec's lifeless body just to make sure he was dead.

"What an interesting spell battle." Arcyakt muttered. "But you lack imagination."

You may attack when ready. Arcyakt said telepathically to Alton.

He teleported himself to York.

"Sorry I'm late - vivec had to die first." he explained as he resurrected the constructs and the dead.

"When you finish off the rest of the Telvanni towns go to Ald'ruhn - there seems to be some sort of 'ast stand' going on..."

With that, he was gone.

"Yes Arcyakt." York said simply accepting his orders

He held the ruby tight in his hand and teleported back to Arcyakt's castle. There he looked at the Telvanni towns. He had put the undead officers in charge of their own groups, ordered to attack the other Telvanni cities while their attention was turned to Sadrith Mora. All had succeeded in destroying their designated towns.

With one exception, Tel Vos. It was still standing and the troops sent to deal with it had been destroyed. The castle there had been fortified with the best archers, mages, and soldiers money could buy. Aryon loved his castle and had defended it well.

York gathered his forces and took the portal just outside of Tel Vos, with Arcyakt preoccupied, he would have to kill Aryon alone while his forces distracted the men outside and then meet up with the main force outside of Ald Ruhn.

The undead from Sadrith Mora now joined the ranks and the army was huge once again...but they didn't have minds of their own and relied on orders. The army marched up the hill as archers fired at the army and spells of all kinds at them.

York sent them to break the barricades while two mages helped him to levitate into Aryon's home.

OOC:I'm not going to each and every city to destroy it so I picked one to survive.

"Good.." Alton murmered, "The disease should be spreading wonderfuly now."

Several hours ago most of the other army's reported back to Alton with news of victory over the smaller towns. This gave his force an extra ten-thousand men, more then enough to capture Vivec. It would soon be the end.

Alton stepped forward, in front of his lines and turned and looked at their massive numbers, even all of that though did not secure a complete fealing of victory in his mind. "...Vivic is dead.. I can feel it, but there is some other power working too. A god of the sort possibly."
To remind himself of the old days he shouted out verbal commands instead of through the mind, and it was simply, "Foward! March!"

The constructs, undead soldiers, and corrupt humans started their march towards towards the bridges of Vivic, with Alton leading from the front.

Sel stood. "I'm going for a walk." he announced.

Anthanes nodded to Anara. "Hrm...Yes. Coming to think of it, I can provide you with such an enchantment, if you'd like." The half-dunmer smiled slightly.

"You'd do that for me?" Anara asked, somewhat surprised. "Thats rather generous of you."

Megil had heard news of the mage appearing in vivec, but he had more seriour problems to deal with. He was powerwalking to the upper cantons, and then working himself to the upper balconies. Several officers were surrounding him, reporting what the spies had found out. Megil was worried, but he was assured that this army didn't know all that awaited them. He thought back to earlier that morning when the sylphs reported an attempted poisoning of water, the poison never traveled into the hands of the people before the sylphs had issolated it and destroyed it.

"So they come then," he said lookin into the mainland, hearing but not seeing the approaching army.
He turned to the men,

"Vivec shall not fall today, we will destroy this army, you know the tactics. now everybody in position and once the enemy moves in charge out." He turned to the mages, you know what to do if this legion falls."

He stood watching, preparing his mind for the large amount of spell casting that would be involved. Shoeograth, had helped devise some traps and poweful, yet simple spells to dispose of the constructs and the undead.. He taught some mages the simpler of the spells. and others he himslf had cast traps in select areas of the city, in case the enemy penetrated it that far.

All was quiet, the tention high. the quiet breath before the plunge.

Celia sternly pinched Sel's arm. "As long as you do not get hurt, killed, or maimed, you can have your walk. If you do get hurt, killed, or maimed, you will recieve a severe ear-tweaking, m'kay?" Who knows when the mage-man will come?

Celia's face brightened as she faced Fenris. "Mister Nord, is there anything I can do to help? And where is mister Kitty?"

Anthanes nodded with a grin. "Of course not for free. In turn, I want to have a drink with you again assuming we both survive if you would be willing to grant me that honor."

Shakur walked the streets talking to the patroling soldiers and helped orginize some of the volunteers. He could feel the fear coming from some of the soldiers, and he could fully understand their fear. Imagine being told the main cities in your province have been destroyed and you were needed for a posible last stand.

Anara's smile had dimmed slightly at the enchantment not being free, but brightened again when the actual price was mentioned. "Of course," she replied.

Anthanes nodded, obviously satisfied. "It's a deal then. Erm... What weapon do you need to be enchanted, exactly?"

The army crested over the low hills to Vivic, the cantons, namely the Foreign Quarter, were in growing site of Alton. The conscructs line the front row, 40 long by 30 deep, in row of about 5. They were the vanguard, and Alton was even ahead of them. A cold sweat dripped from his forehead, as it always did before battle, the world became narrow, more focused. All sounds but those that were the most usefull seamed to flee from his presence.

Arkyact... Please here me now, grant me one last wish so that I may over come this place. Remeber the deadra of Cyrodil? Perhaps we could call upon their help in distracting those archers on the top tiers?

By his best guess Alton was nearly within firing range of the arrows. An odd calm encomposed him..

Megil saw the army as it peaked over the hill.

He looked on either sdies of him at the archers, then he looked below at the mages.

"Everyone ready your bows and you spells, fightes unsheith your blades, pikemen prepare the barricade on the bridge." he said as he prepared to unleash his own spel.

sheogorath watched from Megil's mind, but he also watched Oblivion, in case anything tried to summon any daedra.
