Megil-HOJ

In an instant Megil's sword was out of it's sheath, and Megil was out of the chair, his blade caught the edge of Endris's sword, sliding along it's edge. Megil then turned his wrist ever so slighly, yet producing enough force to twist endris's sword and arm, forcing Endris to either let go of the blade or hav the muscles in his arm's torn, it was all in the instant of a second, yet it seemed to last an eternity. Megil continued through with his motion, flowing past endris and drawing his sword back into its sheath,

The sword flung from Endris' hands and stuck in the floor a few feet away from Endris. But he pressed on, past megil, and lunged at isaarin in an attempt to tackle him.

Endris always had an array of knives on him, but he kept them hidden for the time being. After all, Megil could easily kill him seeing as he had no sword to defend himself.

OOC: all we need now is anthanes to pop up and steel the black hand sword as well.

ooc:sorry don't know why i havn't posted...

Stauros->Balmora

Stauros looked around and saw Dalrus' guards coming down the street, "Well there's your group now if My guy hurries up we can get this show on the road."


ooc:lol yeah that would suck

Raavin, HOJ

Raavin, who incongrous, had been sitting calmly in his seat rose, and drew his blade, holding it in both hands in a defensive postion, in case the Assassin came close. If that was the case, Raavin was fully prepared to strike Endris down with his blade. Of course he didn't exactly move to help Isaarin, it would benifit him if Isaarin was slain, House Hlaalu would go into Turmoil.

Still, he had to make it look like he tried if Isaarin survived, "Endris, enough..." he said. "One more move and I will be forced to slay you."

Endris -- HOJ

Endris got up off of Isaarin (OOC: guess i tackled him ) and turned to face Raavin. His sword was still a few feet behind him; a far enough distance that an extremely skilled swordsmen could strike him down before he got to it.

Endris remembered one of his mind games, one that had made him almost infamous. Right there in the center of the room, in the middle of a fight, Endris quickly pulled out a knife, flung it an Raavin, andcast an invisibility spell. He slowly made his way backwards to his sword, rage now fueling him completely.

Megil,HOJ

Megil threw his sword, stricking the knife before it could hit ravvin, the knife clattered on the ground, and the sword sailed through the air, ending with a reverberating thud, as it sunk into the wood of the door frame. he turned to the invisible Endris,

"Do you really think that trick will work Endris's, I've been watching you sneak around the hall all day, "

he waved his outstretched hand, his sword coming free and flying back into his grasp,

"On you? Perhaps not, but you are not the one I am fighting right now," Endris said in a dark voice before changing his position in the room.

Dalrus, Balmora


"Im eager to get out of here, and show you my home. There's much trouble down south, and the less populated north feels more comfortable. Caldera is a nice city, and the only city for miles around. The govenor's hall is a good fortress which could fit the towns people in times of war. Though the town itself is almost a fortress anyway." stated Dalrus

Megil, HOJ

"That is barely fair, besides the moment you pick up your blade you will become visible,"

Stauros->balmora

Stauros smiled, "well its a good thing they didn't change the town setup when they rebuild, the only reason it was destroyed was because it was a ssaulted by a dragon" Stauros snapped his mouth shut and looked down the road to see Delfran coming with three sacks over his shoulder.

Stauros waved and Delfran hurried up. "Well Dalrus this is my trusted friend Delfran, and Delfran, this is Dalrus, councillor(sp?) of Caldrea." Delfran bowed and handed Stauros his bag.

"So when are we leaving?"

"Yes, but you don't need a blade to kill someone, Megil," Endris said, still circling the room.

Megil,HOJ

Megil kept his eyes on Endris, turning his body so he was always facing the man,

"That is very true Endris, but then why are you hesitating?"

Isaarin Sithiln
Hall of Justice

Isaarin tried to pull himself away from the leaping man but failed, getting tackled to the ground he struggled and cursed and made legal threats. Meanwhile his guard was back on feet and regained his spear. He checked his friend and found a pulse. By this time, Isaarin was back to his feet and Endris had gone invisible.

Isaarin quickly sifted through his pockets, trying his best to tune his ears in to see if he could hear Endris. He searched frantically before finally feeling the potion in his pocket. For a moment he hesitated. If he let the guard die, he could use that to either get Endris executed, or if Megil failed to act then an even better situation, he would be able to use that as a vehicle to push himself up politically. Hlaalu would become sympathized, mere victims in this mess. Still, there was a small problem and that was the invisible assassin who wanted to kill him. Isaarin shrugged and tossed the healing potion to his guard who opened it and poured it down the mouth of his fallen companion.

"I dare you," said Isaarin as he walked cautiously away from where he assumed the voice coming from, "You can't even begin to understand the pandoras box you would open if I died. There's a reason men like me don't try to kill the radicals after they reach a certain point of popularity. You have already screwed yourself. I could spin this in such a way that rioters would be breaking down your doors to kill you. I did it before. Remember the world would not be in the state it is right now if it were not for me. I started it all. You kill me and you will see it follow through."

Kaushad
Zergonipal

Kaushad stopped to speak with a man in the hall. "Okay Asimov, so when will the goods get here?"

"Soon, raiders who carry goods can be tracked so they have to be cunning."

"Right, so about two weeks you'd say?"

"Yes."

"Great," said Kaushad. "Tell Sul-Matuul. I have not seen Darum for quite some time but if you see him be sure to tell him as well. I need to find Sedrane."

The two departed and Kaushad again began wandering the hall searching for his son.

"It's too bad I don't usually think that far ahead. Besides, what would you do if I stopped now and let you live? What would you do then? Cry to the public about how I pushed you to the ground? Turn everyone against the Morag Tong? You underestimate the Tong, Isaarin. All of you do. Where we lack in number, we make up for in skill. Our swords, however few, are the fastest and sharpest," Endris had circled around the room once more and stopped in front of his sword, "And you, Sithiln, will not escape their wraith," he finished as he drew his blade from the ground and turned visible. However his current stance was a non-threatening one, the Black Hand Sword held at his side.

Isaarin Sithiln
Hall of Justice

"Consider this," said Isaarin. It was a ploy at this point. He realized something during Endris' last shpiel. Megil had his eyes fized on Endris. As long as isaarin knew what Megil was looking out, he would be able to stay away from Endris. "I live, and what is against you? Attempted murder? Assault? It would be an assassination attempt against me. My popularity would sky-rocket. If I die though, it would sky-rocket even higher, and not in the form of mere support, but in the form of hatred against you. You are a stupid person, Endris, I won't try to argue against that, but right now because of your impulsive behavior your facing either that House Hlaalu gains tons of support and The Morag Tong gets burned to the ground, or I live, and I gain tons of support and the Morag Tong continues to thrive with a slightly lower reputation. What is your choice?"

Isaarin continued to use Megil's eyes to guide him away from the ever Endris. "In fact, you might as well do it. My ultimate goal would complete itself once I became a martyr. It'd be a lot less work for me."

OOC: oops meant to say 'turned visible' in the last post, you can see him now.


"Are you trully that devoted to Hlaalu to give your life in order to further it? Somehow I think not. You are not such a selfless man. On top of which, I am the one with the sword here, so if I trully am stupid then it wouldn't be too smart on your part to be insulting me.

"Plus, if I am, as you say, allianced with the Telvanni, what makes you think they would not come to my aid when the Morag Tong is 'Being burned to the ground'?"

Isaarin Sithiln
Hall of Justice

Isaarin saw Endris appear sometime while he was speaking, and now he simply stayed as far back as he could, finishing, letting Endris speak, and then continuing. As long as Endris continued interest in his conversation he would not strike. Isaarin was tempted to demand that Megil bring the criminal to justice, but that would only coax Endris into attacking. So, what could Isaarin do but continue his political debate.

"Devoted to Hlaalu? No. It would not be Hlaalu alone that would erupt in anger. I understand the mechanics of politics far too well to stick only to my most radical loyalists. In fact, to say it honestly, many Redoran citizens believe what I'm doing is good, but don't trust me; many Telvanni citizens think what I'm doing is good, but don't trust me; many of the Imperial loyalists think what I'm doing is bad, and don't trust me; many of the unpolarized population think I'm being arrogant but for a good cause. You see what this would do for me? I become the trusted. I gain support. This assassination would ripple through the channels of conversation. Even Ravvin, a man I know distrusts me and probably fears my ambition, even he understood that at heart my cause was a good one. Even he took up arms against the Imperials. That's right, Endris, currently I am the pinnacle of this movement. I am the fire starter. You kill me and people who never even thought they liked me will suddenly find themselves uniting with House Hlaalu, and not only will my ultimate goal finish itself but the Morag Tong will be flattened along the way. What is my goal? Well it's no different from yours or Megil's. I want a world where all three houses can survive peacefully, where the Morag Tong reforms to the honorable league it used to be; where the Mage's Guild and Fighter's Guild can work freely; where people can sleep at night without fear of mass murderers or incoming war. I want peace, and the sooner the other Houses trust me the sooner they'll stop crossing ethical lines to prepare for some war which will never actually occur. You kill me, and history has shown us the trust the population will have in me will sky-rocket. Willing to die? Yes, for my ideals, for my ultimate goal, for the world I dream of."

He planned his words carefully. He figured Endris would be as curious as anyone else on insight in his head. He figured the particular rhetoric he chose was fitting to sustain his life. Hell, for a large portion of it he was even telling the truth.

Endris--Hoj

Endris listened carefully to Isaarin's speach the tow of them cirlcing around the room. Afterwords, Endris didn't know what to do. If he walked away, he left with a battered ego-- something Endris did not like to leave with. But he knew Isaarin's words were true, and that his death would most likely cause an uprising against the Morag Tong.

Then Endris decided his plan. He took a long, threatening stride toward Isaarin, leaped into the air and brought his sword down, aiming for the high shoulder, low neck area.


OOC: a skilled swordsmen would notice the blunt end of the blade is the one Endris is attacking with--meaning he wants to win the duel but will let isaarin live.

Dalrus, Balmora


"Yes the town was reconstructed perfectly. OH hello delfran, nice to meet you. So in hlaalu what is your rank?"

Dalrus asked with a friendly smile.

Delfran and Stauros->balmora


Delfran shifted his weight, "Well i'm a hireling, I've just never asked for an advancement and Stauros and I are buddies soo..." His voice trailed of and Stauros stepped in

"He is pracically a house brother, but like he said he hasn't wished for a promotion. He specialises in Speechcraft, Mercantile, and a little security. But anyways, I think we can leave now, seeing as everyone is here."
