Rann

Rann poured his own glass of wine as he looked at the woman across from him. He couldn't help but realize that he and Satyana were drifting apart. It was partly his fault, he had to admit, but in his mind it was mostly hers. First she ignored his pleadings and refused to sit out the fight with Soldin and cost two lives that meant a lot to him. Now she went as far as backstabbing.

All I've ever tried to do is protect her and this is how I'm repaid. Well no more; I've learned my lesson.

His glass now full of the red wine, he held it up as he proposed a toast, "To loyal friends and family."

Issac

Reluctantly, he answered Rann's toast and hid his grimace as he sipped the wine. Issac also held the urge to ask Rann right then and there what had him in such a fine mood. For some reason, he had a sinking feeling that this wasn't the typical exagerrated issue that they were all so used to.

Well, any time now, Issac thought to himself as he set his glass down.

Satyana

She looked at her brother...she had this gift of sort of "knowing" or rather sensing what was going on in people´s minds..not that she was a thorough mind-reader, oh no, the only one who really could do that was her grandmother. But some of her gift had spilled over to Satyana.

What she "sensed" in Rann´s mind did not make her happy...ok she made a mistake, a severe one, that cost Soldin his life

By Nirn am I sorry for that!..It haunts me constantly, and I have to live with it..live with knowing I caused someone´s death, someone I cared for even more than you Rann!

But it was more! She had a strong feeling Rann thinks she betrayed him in some way!....But that was not her intention! She merely wanted to be loyal to the man she loved and intended to spend the rest of her life with!

Surely Rann would understand?...Or wouldn´t he? Sometimes he was not as mature as she expected him to be....sometimes he let feelings rule instead of really trying to see beyond what people did and what their motifs were for certain actions.

Satyana decided not to take up some conversation with her brother...she just sat quiet and sipped her wine...

The Silhouette, Near the Imperial City


A large whisp of smoke seemed to be flying in the air towards Mannimarco and Ian. Soon, however, it began to take shape and the Silhouette landed without a noise near the two combantants. He smiled, a very evil dark smile and prepared his magic.

"Nanic'a," he uttered in Akaviri. A blast of purple energy poured out of the Silhouette's hand's toward Ian, a very hard curse that most could not support, a curse that simply killed.



Dalrus, Tiber Septim


Dalrus took her seat next to Rann and smiled at Satyana. She then noticed that there was some animosity between Rann and Satyana, could these be the brother and sister who Dalrus had left many months before? She raised her glass and repeated "To loyal friends and family," and with that she took a small gulp of wine.

OCC: I don't know for a fact that simply impeding a spell saves you, but I had to come up with something that didn't involve magic too complex for Ian. Note: The illusions aren't solid like Karn's carbon copies, and these spells should be within Ian's compacity as a master illusionist.

Ian

The Silhouete's appearance crushed the chance that Ian had to finish Mannimarco. As the Akaviri curse blasted toward him, Ian thought fast. He threw his durable steel shield at the oncoming attack, broadside facing toward the curse.

The curse struck the physical shield, which cracked as if suddenly turned to brittle glass and shattered. As the fragments fell to the ground, Ian made a choice, live to fight again. The vampire cast two powerful illusions, a red mist engulfed him and billowed over much of the area, twenty look-alikes appeared with him inside the viel.

With the ever-expanding red cload hiding the twenty-one red-robed vampires, Ian and his entourage made their escape.

The Silhouette, Outside IC


OOC: Yeah that would work.


IC: The Silhouette smiled, he liked a challenge, he began fireing off curses at many of the copies. Some disappeared while some dodged the attacks, he continued to fire at them though he made no move to chase them, afterall, they would die eventually.

Ian

As his copies were attacked, Ian made full use of his vampiric speed and agility. Closing the distance to Lake Rumare in a matter of seconds.

Just shy of the water, he vaulted, casting burden and water-breathing with his remaining magicka reserves.
As soon as he hit the water, Ian began to sink toward the bottom. With the burden spell keeping him from surfacing, the vampire was able to stride across the floor of the lake back to the Imperial City.

Mannimarco

A Black Soul Gem pits the holder's soul against the soul of the victim, and Mannimarco knew this. Mannimarco felt the real vampire jump into the water, and he held the Black Soul Gem in place on his staff. Reciting the dark chant, Mannimarco sent a thin, gossamer-like line that was just on the edge of being physical, right into the water. It struck Ian and Mannimarco began to mentally recall the souls into the gem.

OOC: Ian ran out of magicka, so Mannimarco pounced, not intending to capture, technically, it's three on one, Ian and the others should win, however, an interesting twist it would be to have Kirana in the gem....

Patholos

The Shadow Eaters all grabbed for their weapons as the fight began, and a few copies of Ian approached Patholos and his band. "Trading sides?," They said in unison, and attacked Patholos and the others. Before they did any physical damage, they dissapated. A vampire and a few snakemen overheard Ian's copies, and they attacked Patholos and the Shadow Eaters.

The band fought valiantly towards the shore, leaving a swathe of corpses in their wake. Patholos and three others sustained greivous wounds, and two were already dead, leaving one man fighting fit. They made it to the shore, but were then attacked by the undead. All the wounded went down and each died valiantly. The one man who was unwounded had a free escape, but he came back for Patholos and another. The Shadow Eaters and Patholos began to swim accros the lake and hope that the archers Astratus had enplaced were on that side of the wall.

OOC: Tried to make a dramatic escape, Ian could or couldn't be aware of what the copies said, tried to make an innocent betrayal, Ian could come across if Revan decides to win the battle

Cerpin

Dispel! was all he had to communicate, hoping that Ian had indeed taken the spell to heart. If not, then there was no time to recite it again...

He felt the pull of the soul gem and prayed that Ian would cast soon enough.

OCC: Kirana can be taken, all the more reason for Ian to murder (kill just doesn't describe it anymore) Mannimarco.

Ian

He barely understood Cerpin's single word, but racked his mind for the incantation. A heartbeat later, Ian began reciting it, but the affect of the black soul gem took affect before he could finish. The Black Soulgem pulled at the souls within Ian like a vacuum.

Ian braced himself and held himself with a rare resilience.

Mannimarco

Sweat glistened on his forehead as he pulled with his mind. The exertion Mannimarco was putting on himself showed with obvious intensity. Mannimarco concentrated and drained all of his strength, in an obsessive and twisted manner, trying to collect the three souls. Tearing at the link, Mannimarco gasped out loud, grunting with effort at a thing that onlookers couldn't see.

Suddenly, the Black Soul Gem burst aflame, but, retained no physical damage. The flames turned green and then black, making the now spinning Gem look like an item from Oblivion. Mannimarco placed his off hand directly in front of him and shouted a spell that lifted the object casted at into the air. The spell took some of Mannimarco's strength, and the link wavered, but still held. The spell rocketed towards the water, then plunged its way into the depths.

Ian

The cold shock accompanying the separation of one soul from his body stunned Ian. Suddenly, a medium sized rock a few paces infront of him stirred and rose at an angle. The rock grazed the vampire as it passed, making him lose his footing.

The empty feeling in Ian was hard to deal with, but his water-breathing spell was waning, so he hastened to the other side of Lake Rumare before it ended. As he rose from the water, tired emotionally and physically, the vampire stared back at the opposite shore.
"Who's still here?" The vampire asked, his mind so numb that he couldn't tell for certain if the remaining presense was Kirana or the other.

Cerpin

Just me, Cerpin answered, I'm sorry, Ian.

He did of course, know how to bring Kirana back, should her soul gem be discovered to be unused, but he had no idea of Mannimarco's plans for her soul, and he hated to bring it up to Ian.

Ian, outside the City Walls

Clenching one hand into a fist he pointed the same arm's spike at the direction of the place he had fought at such a short time ago. "Then I'll cast him down to the depths of Oblivion, and oblige Mehrunes Dagon the pleasure of burning the Maggot King in his realm's fires." Ian swore with the greatest resolve.

"But not now...." The vampire said as he turned toward where he sensed Patholos and and the two Narza Tai Shadow Eaters. "Revenge won't come first....." Ian started walking toward where the unwounded Shadow Eater was going to come ashore.

Cerpin

Just let me know when you need my help, he 'said'.

What are you doing now?

OCC: From what I know about soul gems, the soul for lack of a better term in in a kind of stasis, and can't really have thoughts. I realize that Cerpin hasn't told Ian what the gloves do, but let's just go with it.

Ian

"First, I'm going to get back inside the city, get back to the group. Then I'll brake the news to them and them alone that Mannimarco is still blighting Tamriel with his continued existance...." He stopped for a moment.

"There's no point in telling them about Kirana, for all intents and purposes, she's dead, but all that matters to me is that she isn't gone." Ian had a thought, "Perhaps that glove of your could be of use."

Cerpin

It could, yes. And if you wouldn't mind helping me first, I wouldn't mind helping you get Kirana back and kill Mannimarco. Two people are better than one with a voice in his head.

He wondered if he should tell Ian that Kirana didn't want a body, but decided against it. He would help bring Kirana back if he could, and if she wanted to die from there she most certainly could.

Rann

Rann drank a large gulp after the toast, setting the empty wine glass down on the table immediately after. He was still deep in thought, thinking about how the number of people he actually trusted was slowly shrinking.

"Someone was following me and Dalrus," he said to Issac and Satyana, wondering if he could make them think that this mystery was what had him in a foul mood, "And I don't think he was friendly."

Amrita

From the alleyway, Amrita suspected that Rann and his companion were heading back to the Tiber Septim based on the direction they were heading. For someone that was just making out with a lady, Rann was glancing around a little too casually and not paying as close attention to his lady-friend before Amrita had made her noise. Obviously he was suspicious now.

She decided she would head a different way to the Tiber Septim. On her way there she glanced up and noticed that noon time was soon approaching, there would be a lack of shadows very soon. When she thought she was isolated enough, she re-appeared and walked casually back to the Hotel.

Deciding she wanted a drink, she entered the Hotel. A quick scan of the room revealed a slightly disgruntled looking Rann sitting with his and her sister as well as a few others. They were drinking wine. Instead of immediately heading over there, she went to the bar instead. She eased herself onto a bar stool and subtlely watch the group using her peripheral vision.


Flogir

Flogir was awaiting a response from Altair when shouts erupted from the wall. He thought he overheard the call for archers.

"Damnit! Something's at the wall! If you want to continue this discussion, meet me there!" he said before hurrying to the walls.

"Diversions" she muttered, taking another sip of her wine. "Look Rann, whatever you may think of me, it´s just not the way you think it is!"

She realised her outburst may cause Issac to wonder, but she just couldn´t stop herself....she couldn´t stand it anymore...

"What really has you angry, it obviously pertain to us." He added, showing that he also knew that Rann was changing the subject.
