Stauros->Cave

Stauros stood up, "Hmm, are you sure they are Redoran? This armour lookes like it is in ill repair, and it isn't from what we've done. Even if these are, well were really, Redoran soldiers they would keep their armor in good shape, I've known a few."

Stauros walked over to a cuirass and picked it up. "It looks like the people wearing the armor were ambushed. See this hole here? that was from an arrow and we took this one down with a sword. Lets find the prisoners and see what we can learn from them."

Stauros turned to walk down the other tunnel, "Oh and if you want me to check it out, I could talk with an old friend of mine."

Florodine, HOJ



"Thank you very much Megil, i feel safer knowing i have an ally in New Vivec." Florodine was now smiling, for he knew his city would be a refuge for the upcoming wars. And once one of the great houses gets knowlege of their help of refugees, they might try to take the city. Already they had argued with the Telvanni, and tensions were high.



Dalrus, Cave



"Look into it!? the facts are right there! If i were a leader of Redoran, i'd give the men that were about to do something that could start a war, bad armor too. They want us to think they're common bandits. Besides one of the men is already in caldera by now, telling what the redoran have done." she looked mad now

ooc:Italics are for thoughts, right?

Stauros->Cave

hmm Serene wouldn't do that i'll have to get with her

"Okay what ever lets just get the prisoners clothed and fed lets get htem to the govenors hall or something."

Serene and Leni (and Jonacin(?))
New Vivec

Finally Leni did fall into a deep normal sleep. The most acute danger was over and she´d certainly recover well, as small children usually do.

Two ordinators were waiting for them to escort them....somewhere. Serene was exhausted by now, it´s been a little bit too much recently and all she wanted now was a place to get some rest...and maybe a decent meal.

"So gentlemen", she addressed the ordinators, " We are set to go, let´s get moving shall we?"


Sedrane
Zergonipal

He was running.....to ease the pain of loosing his best friend...just running, eventually he would get over it.. but he wasn´t sure.....not at all..

Osano -- vivec

Osano continued watching in interest. An interest which grew after he heard names like 'Serene' and 'Jonacin'. Memories flooded back to him. He decided to watch a little longer, trying to remember the past he had forgotten; unaware how suspicious one in a large cloak standing in the middle of the street looked. It had been many years since he was last out in public.

Ordinators-Vivec

The ordinators noded and took their place around the family,

"Megil has arranged for a dockside manor for you Lady Serene and Sir Jonacin," the Ordinator informed them as he began walking with the family following in suite, followed by the rear guard. The group made their wway through the city down to the newly finished dockide, were already vendors where setting up superfluous displays of their wares. The Ordinators stopped in front of a large wooden gate, engraved with intertwined serpents and dragons, jewels beset generously for eyes. A guard stood on either side of the doorway, though that did not last for long as a glare from the ordinator had the two guards stumbling to open the door. Beyond th door was a walled in garden, complete with fountains and exotic plants. Everything was layed out to seem naturally fit, even the many statues seemed to be lost in the foliage.

The Ordinator led the family into the patio as the gate shut behind them, crossing a short bridge over a decorative pond, and across teh length of the large gardens to a manor nestled between the walls. It's architecture so fluid and sublime it seemed to rise from teh very garden itself, before the door stood a large array of people, all of whom were bowing. The Ordinator came to a halt, procuring from his armor a beautifull emblazoned and jeweled key which he handed to Serene.

"I hope this home is fitting for both yourself and your family. These before you the servants, gardeners, and escorts assigned to this manor. While they are your servants they are not slaves and are to be treated with respect."

Megil-HOJ
Megil signed his name in Calligraphy on the parchment and then handed Florodine the Quill.

"Alliances by word of mouth do not last, this si simply parchment for the records should the alliance be brought up to question, by either or third parties."

Florodine, HOJ



"Yes indeed" he said as he signed the parchment. "Now im afraid i dont know where to stay tonight, are there any houses for sale, otherwise i must leave the city very soon? Also this is off topic, but you see two days from now is a holiday for Molag Mar, for it is on that day, that the city was founded, and i'd be delighted if you would come. I would also like if Serene could come, for her accomplishments are as imfamous as mine and yours. So would you be able to attend?"

Stuaros->Cave

Stauros snuck along the wall and saw a person up ahead. He was about to shoot up instead pulled out an amulet of paralysis and paralyzed the person. Stauros walked up to the man and smiled as he tied him up. Stauros quickly found keys on the man and returned to the group.

"Well I found the slave keys and I tied some guy up. I thought you might want to talk to him Dalrus. I left him in the tunnel."

Stauros then started walked over to the slave cage to free the would be slaves.

Dalrus, Caves


"Thanks stauros," she said smiling as she walked towards the man. he looked mad, and spat at her when she came near. "Now i can release you, if you tell me the truth... Who are you working for?" she said as she took a seat on a bed.

"It's no big deal, my name is Maru, and we're just trying to make a living up here" said the difiant man

"That is an incorrect answer!" Dalrus kicked the man hard, he shook

"I...i cant tell you anything else, thats all i have to say," said the man

"You wretch" Dalrus shot a very weak blast of magic, but enough to cause extreme pain

"ahhhhh no no, stop." dalrus stopped "I tell the truth my name is Maru, we were just taking he because we needed a hostage to hold for ransome."

"I do not believe you, though i doubt you are going to tell much more. Good by redoran scum!"

"Redora.." the man was cut off by a blast of frost.

Serene with family
New Vivec, their manor

Serene was stunned.....what a magnificent manor....how very sweet of Megil to let them inhabit such a beautiful house....

Seeing the people in front she greeted them heartily, shaking hands with everybody

"Oh aye, we will treat them all like honourable citizens, being here to help us out. They will of course be paid and granted nice working-conditions!...."

Leni sat in her mother´s arms looking around with big eyes filled with curiosity.....

"Mom", she said in a whisper, "look there´s water coming from that fish´s mouth!"

Serene watched the sweet fountain, consisting of an upright large fish, where the water flooded through it´s mouth down in a little pond, it was really beautiful and she understood Leni´s appreciation. Also she was happy the little girl was feeling so much better that she could enjoy the beaty of their home in Vivec.

"Now then next time we meet Uncle Megil, you must give him a big hug Leni!, he doesn´t have a lil´girl so he´d probably lik a hug from you!"

Serene turned to Jonacin and embraced him.....

"Will this be our safe-resort now you think dear?, I´d really like to have some time of calm and peace now..."

Osano -- Vivec

"Huh." Osano grunted to himself as he watched the ceebrities enter their new manor. He followed them there, but didn't try to sneak past the gate. Or the walls. Or the menacing Ordinators guarding the place.

He squinted and looked up at the sky, now growing dark purple as the evening grew on. Getting kinda hungry... he thought as he lifted his hand to see that it was trembling slightly.

Osano wandered the streets, still relatively close to Serene and Jonacin's new manor, and looked for a decent meal. He slipped into a dark alley and waited a bit until a young Imperial female crossed the entrance. "Psss," Osano said in hoarse whisper, "Wanna make same gold?"

The Imperial stared into the alley, dumbfounded, then started to walk off when Osano leaped out, grabbed her, slammed her against the wall of the alley, and sank his... overly sharpened teeth into the lower part of her neck.

Osano emerged from the alley wiping his face with the sleeve of his cloak, a lifeless Imperial slumped against the wall.

Stauros->Cave

Stauros shook his head as he open the slave cage and unlocked their bracers one by one.

"Well I think thats all men, move out esemble in the town square and, I don't know, do something guard like."

The troop laughed and headed out the door. Stauros started taking all that was in the cave and placing it all in a bag.

"This is for the prisoners, and I quess they could take some of the armor and weapons if they want to."

Stauros walked over to Dalrus and put his hand on her shoulder, "Well, we might as well leave, we wont find anything else we want here."

Ordinator-Serene and Jonacins manor

The ordinator watcehd the family for a moment, then bowed.

"Seeing as how everything seems fit I must return to patrolling," he said beforethe left the manor and joiend the other ordinaotrs outside, they were heading abck to their ward when they heard the rumors spreading throughout the streets and a frightened woman approached the ordinators,

"There's a vampire in vivec me lords," she paused and then tugged at on of the ordinators,

"Come and take a look at this body sirs, we jus found her a few minutes ago." the ordinator shrugged the woman of but followed her to the alley were a pale imperial slumpeed againtst the wall. The ordinators began to clear the scene and examined the body, they saw they marks of teeth, and began talking among themselves. After several moments discussion, one ordinator left, while the others cleared the area, with a quick spell they ignited the body, incinerating it to ash in minutes, the smell of burtn flesh drifted across the streets. The ordinators remained on guard until they were sure the body was entirely gone.

Megil-HOJ
"there are many places to spend the night, and many manors on sale. Look on the waterfront if you wish to find a manor. As to the even tI cannot say wether or not I will be open to attend, as you may know running a city is very chaotic. I cannot speak for Serene though I am to visit their new home to ensure that everything is to their expectations. Now if you excuse me there are matters that seaek my attention. " he said rising from his chair and opening his office door to let in two messengers.

the bowed to the stranger and turned to Megil, "Lord Telvanni party led by Amili has entered the city, they wish your audience it would seem." said the first before bowing and leaving the room. the second spoke up, "Sir a woman has been found dead near the water front, cause of death has been concluded to be a vampire. the body was burned as per procedure." he bowed quickly and then left the room.

Jonacin
"It's incredible. Megil didn't have to do this. Although i think i'm going to have to have words with him. Sir Jonacin indeed!"

Serene
New Vivec, their manor

Serene laughed..

"Well you deserve it darling, if anyone do..you do!" she took her husband´s hand and squeezed it lovingly

Osano moved through the crowd of people who were trying to get a look at the burning of the body. He ducked between people and yelled "The vampire! He's the one wearing a red shirt!" Then casually walked to another group of people and said quietly, "I hear the vampire is one of the Ordinators."

He then backed away from thje crowd and watched the panic unfold. Osano laughed as he saw a man in a red shirt get punched, "Hah, maybe they'll start asaulting guards next. I haven't had this much fun in ages..."


OOC: how do ya like that for tension? there's a vampire loose in vivec.
also updated char. bio, he has become a bit of a trouble maker

Florodine, HOJ



"Thank you lord Megil, i suppose i will start looking for a manor." Florodine said as he turned to leave. He couldn't help hearing the news of Telvanni and the vampire however, and soon ran off to find Amil

Lykaon, New Vivec

Lykaon smirked beneath his mask. The vampire was pretty smart, but then again, a smarter vampire would have disposed of the body, or fed off of a animal. Lykaon didn't think that would be very appetizing though, the only warm-blooded things in Vvardenfell were rats and people. He couldn't help but think New Vivec's people bought into mob-mentality too much, daylight was shining, the only Vampire who could be standing out would be heavily covered.

Lykaon then remebered he was fully covered in his armor and quickly threw away any plan to tell the people of New Vivec that a vampire could only be out in the sunlight if fully covered. Lykaon didn't particulary feel in the mood to deal with a angry mob that wanted to pull his mask off. They wouldn't find a vampire, but Lykaon bet himself they wouldn't like what they would really find either.

Lykaon shook his head and began following the vampire, it wasn't hard - few were so covered, and he was the only one with the distinctive smell of a vampire.

Osano =- Vivec

After having a bit of fun Osano turned and left the crowd, his cloak flowing behind him. He felt a pair of eyes watching him from behind and decided that a sharp mind had deducted he was the vampire. He's armored, I can hear it. It will take more than a pair of fangs to take him out...

Osano walked briskly to a more desolate part of town and in a quick motion spun around, drew his claymore, stepped towards his follower and swung at him-- using only his right arm, no less.

Lykaon, New Vivec, *some* desolate part of town

Lykaon drew his own blade, blocking the Claymore, and like Osano, he only used his right arm. "A Claymore's too long to to be used one handed or as a honoured user sword. Regardless of how strong you are," Lykaon said. "You're a interesting Vampire, your scent does't remind me of any of the native clans, but maybe you're just a Aundae and using a illusion spell to hamster with my nose." Lykaon broke the weapon-lock, and swung his Katana at Osano, gripping it with both hands.
