Rann

"Shut up," he muttered to issac jokingly about the grammatical correction, "I'll say what I want."

Then he listened to the guard silently before responding, "So...where did everyone evacuate to?"

Army of Morrowind, soldier

Beneath his helmet, the Dunmer grinned ever so slightly in amusement at the grammatical error and correction. "To the Western Cities, some went farther, to Hammerfell, but most didn't want to leave Cyrodiil if the didn't have to."

Looking over the great green landscape he could see why. A figure clad in white-gray robes strode up from where the three before him had come. "Oi, odd fellow that one...."

Ian

Being that the town guard or army would be less than hospitable if they had a vampire in there midst, he had tied a piece of white cloth to obscure most of his face. His slightly bleached eyes were still visible, but he reasoned that the guards would buy an excuse like a birth-defect to be the case.

He nodded to Rann, Issac , and Satyana, but said nothing.

OCC: dang, I forgot to mention his vampire-affected eyes were still visible and thatwas what the excuse was for.....

Rann

Rann suppressed a laugh at Ian's appearance, and acted as if he'd never met the man before in his life. He returned the nod, but kept conversing wiith the guard.

"Yeah, he probably got mauled by a bear or something," he said just before Ian reached their midst, "So how long does it take for this gate to get opened?"

Cerpin

I'm glad you decided to follow them Ian. The young dunmer has something that belongs to me...

Satyana

She was glad to see Ian again....but there was something odd about him, as if he wasn´t his real self....Satyansa shrugged and waited patiently for the next move. Rann was talking to that guard...She moved closer to Issac

"Is Ian ok?" she asked him silently

Issac

He also returned Ian's nod. When Satyana approached him and asked about Ian, Issac whispered. "Are any of us alright after all that's happened?."

After a moment, he spoke again, more seriously. "Yes, but only a little more odd than usual. He does have to deal with vampirism and everything we have to."

Army of Morrowind

The soldier's eyes held on the man's odd-looking eyes for a few moments before replying to the fellow Dunmer. "It depends, only a minute to actually raise it, but the Commander has to give permission first."

Despite himself, the Dunmer rolled his eyes. "It all depends if the good commander is sleeping a drink, drinking, or just depressed. Don't get me wrong, his judgment is great in a battle, but it's rather degrading to have a drunk for a leader."

Satyana, still confused

"yes...but, he´s not himself! There´s something very strange with him....can´t you see that my love?"

She took Issac´s hand and held it tight

"It frightens me"

Issac

"I... I'm afraid not, Satyana," He said after a moment. "But I do trust you."

He clapsed both hands around hers, and whispered. "Is there anything else you can sense, anything?"

Satyana

"I...I sense another soul...another mind, very near Ian..it´s possible it´s inside him.He...eh...might be possessed..or anything.I´m not sure but I do know there is another mind present...or even more than one..."

She covered her face in her hands....


This is really frightening....how can it be possible?, There is another mind inside Ian, it has taken over him but why can´t anyone else sense that?

Ian

"I take it that whatever you want, Rann will not miss it?"

Kirana

She was bewildered by the sudden plotting that clearly implicated Rann in some way. "What is this about a belonging of yours? And how would Rann have it?"

Issac

Another mind inside Ian's head? Issac didn't know enough about that kind of prospect to judge whether that was possible or not.

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder he whispered. "Until we know more there's nothing we can do, so let's keep an eye on Ian for the time being. There's no need to be afraid...."

Rann

"So...do I actually have to wait on this drunken commander, or can we make exceptions here?" Rann was still being nice, but it was obvious that he was getting impatient.

Noting that Issac and Satyana were embracing behind him, he pointed over his shoulder at them with his thumb, "You'll have to keep watching this if you don't get them a room..."

Cerpin

It's a glove. It think he carries it in his pocket, so I doubt he even uses it to keep his hands warm. he communicated to Ian, ignoring Kirana altogether.

Soldier O' Morrowind

"Of course, I could just let anyone in." He allowed for a pause in which he suddenly said. "If I wanted to risk getting demoted or lose my position. A good soldier follows orders, as long as their effective, but then this one is only a minor annoyance."

When Rann pointed to the couple, the mer chuckled. "Most of us are using the barracks, so there should be some room in the inns. But most of the civilians took their belongings with them, so I wouldn't expect the tavern would have much in stock, or at least not much in the way of good alcahol..... or regular drinks."

"Some would probably enjoy watching them; you'd be surprised how many might pay a brothel a visit while on the war march. It helps them cope with being pushed hard, take their sorrows out out on the girls."

He shook his head, "But I'm an honest soldier, don't drink, don't sleep with some girl who I doesn't even know, and I have a clean conscience."

Flint Ironwood.

,,Ok, sounds like a plan. Here goes!" With those words, he swung down the two katanas and two forces of telekinesis shot forth. The one of the Storm dislodged an outcropping of rocks and sent them tumbling down the hill, making them crush and smash any of the Akavirir that were too slow to notice the threat and dodge. The Blade was more direct, slicing through scales and carving into swords like an blade of wind. The group lost all cohesion. Part ran while another part continued their charge.
,,Two more shots, then I'll scram! Start running now!"

Green-Root jumped back into the river and waited. Once they began to run, he would follow at the same pace. If they fled the riverbank though, he would have to go to the Imperial city by himself. He wasn't fast enough to keep up on land.

Voltar

As soon as Flint began casting his telekenetic spells, Voltar began tossing some of his own. Two nearby trees were torn from the earth and hurled into the attacking snakemen. Mimicing that the action drained him. Voltar withdrew the "scroll".

Voltar muttered some foreign sounding words before lighting the scroll with a weak fire spell. Quickly following that, Voltar cast his massive firewall spell. Flames 8 feet high suddenly erupted from the earth, seperating the snakemen from themselves. The wall easily covered a kilometer in distance.

"Now that's some scroll," Voltar said, a rare grin on his face before it returned to it's normal passive state, "Now I suggest we get going..."

Kirana

She fumed silently as the other soul ignored her concerned questions about this private matter it had with Ian.

Ian

"I'll take my time." He replied to the soul. Ian returned to control again and noticed Rann speaking with a Dunmer in bonemold about letting them inside the city. He also noticed Issac and Satyana, but any discomfort about their relationship had worn off by now.

Crossing his arms over his chest, Ian closed his eyes, willing to wait patiently all night to be let in. I'm almost due for another feeding.....

Veric

"She's smart too," Veric said to himself. "Don't think of it as a test more than an initiation," he answered as the water level reached their chests. "It's less of a chance to see what you can do as a chance to experience what you can do," the Breton continued as the water parted from center of the room and disappeared into the walls.

"And I apologize for any confusion."

Commander Astratus

Belching and standing up, Commander Astratus nodded in conjunction with Karn's idea. Just then, a small Bosmer who's only use was for running information stumbled into the scene.

"Ca- Ca- Ca- Commander Astratus Sir! Requesting permission to allow the permission of unknown mer into the city Sir! Oh bother, that came out wrong,..... there are three mer and a person of unknown origin outside the gates wanting to be let in." The Bosmer lowered his head and stood at attention.

Commander Astratus smiled and then replied, "As long as they aren't speaking with a lisp, I'll take all comers!" Commander Astratus waited for the joke about the Akaviri Snakemen to sink in, but it never did. "Come, I'll meet them myself." Commander Astratus then called back to Karn just before leaving, "Feel free to make yourself at home. And go ahead and draw out your strategy and we can join our plans."

Rann

"Well, I for one am glad that you're an honest soldier, sir," he said, "But I'd appreciate it if you'd never again talk about my sister and whores in the same conversation. It makes me think you're associating the two in your head, and I don't like that."

He knew the guard was just making conversation, but he figured since he was going to be waiting a long time to enter the city, he may as well entertain himself by seeing if he could make the other mer sweat.

Cerpin

So you're not in any hurry to get rid of me, eh? Don't be too patient, though, Ian; I'd like to be more than a voice in a vampires head for the rest of my life. If you could call this life...

Aerona

As soon as Flint started the telekinetic blasts, Aerona cast a few area-effect restorative spells, namely restore fatigue and restore magicka.

She then ran with her companions, but she was unsure of the direction, since she was looking only at her feet for fear of tripping and being overtaken by Akaviri snakemen.

Karn

He nodded as Astratus left, moving immediately to the minature map of the Imperial City and the region around it. Dipping a quill in the nearest inkwell, he placed the Narza'Tai camp on the southern shore and copied a set of positions based on the maps scales of longitude and latitude.

Ian

"You would be wise to place more emphasis on patience..... Nothing that you're prepared for comes rapidly." He replied, as if giving a lecture.

Dunmer Soldier

He clicked his longsword out, examining the steel blade before pushing it back into its sheath. "I'll keep that in mind, lad." The Altmer seemed to glance up when the Dunmer uttured the words pertaining to his lover and whores.

The soldier glanced back to see the messenger leading the Commander through the gate to Green Emporer Way. "Well," He muttured. "Looks like you folks are lucky.... or unlucky, seems ol' Astratus deems your entry important enough to deal with personally."

Possibly anticipating the commander's order to let them in, the Dunmer nodded to the burly Nords stationed at the gate's cranks.

Issac

He hadn't heard all of Rann's conversation with the guard, but the part Issac had heard didn't put him in the most amiable mood. Still, all he did was fix the soldier with a glare and nothing more.

Kirana

"So this is what this bargain is about? Giving this person a body to get him out of your head?"

Cerpin

'This person' happens to have personal business with the vampire here; I'd appreciate it if you would mind your own. And just for your information, since you're here, Kirana, you can't just 'pass on' like you're thinking. You either live forever with the vampire here, or you find your way out. I don't want to be here forever.

Rann

"I get to meet the drunk in person?" he asked with mock enthusiasm, but cut it out quickly, realizing that might not be the best way to gain entrance to the city. And he especially didn't want to be pinned between the city walls and an army of snake people.

Sadril

Sadril, Brianna, Rahvin, and Jo'Puma circled the Imperial City for only minutes before they reached the grand bridge to take them over Lake Rumare. In the near distance stood another group of misfits waiting around at the foot of the gate. At first, it was hard to make out who they were, though as the four neared closer...
