WG - Black Rock Caverns, Options

[King Coin]

It was just after midday when the vampire’s lair came into view. Aravi stopped walking and slowly crouched in case they had someone watching the entrance for intruders. The long grass came up to her breast. Her helm was stowed in her pack still; she will put it on before entering the ruin. She waved at Vera and Kayla, letting them know she could see their destination.

The vampires could have chosen a worse spot to hide. A beautiful waterfall splashed over the mouth of their cave, partially concealing it from view. A small, but deep pool of water formed in front of it. I would be tempted to swim if I didn’t think there were vampires just inside.

The vampires could have also chosen a better place to hide. They were too close to the city of Chorrol, and it wouldn’t take long for their activity to be noticed. Then the countess would dispatch mercenaries or professional hunters and this place would be one of the first to be checked.

Aravi flicked her ears in an effort to clear the bugs buzzing around her head. She was hot in her armor, her fur was sticky. There were many things she missed about Cyrodiil while she lived in Skyrim, but right now she longed for the cool mountain air. The bugs weren’t nearly as thick either. She flicked her ears again and tried to listen for anything while her companions approached.

Kayla ran to Vera and delivered a swift, hard kick to the vamp's ribs. She felt him tense up as he turned his attention yo her. She had time to grab the hilt of her sword before he leapt onto her, putting her in the same position Vera had be in, only against a cave wall.

Kayla kneed him in the groin, eliciting only a pained grunt from him. Unless she angled her sword correctly, she couldn't stab him. She didn't have enough time for that. She grabbed the silver dagger from her hip and stabbed his neck.

He let out a strangled cry of pain before taking a step back and pulling the dagger from his neck and stabbing the unsuspecting elf in the gut.

The sheer force broke through her leather, but the pain didn't come for another few moments. Kayla leaned against the cave wall, staring at the dagger as the vamp bled out and died.

Huh. He stabbed me.

She pulled out a healing potion and pulled the dagger out,biting back a cry of pain. She poured the potion on the wound, lazily leaking black blood. She grabbed another and drank it, her face pale.

"Ow."
