He's back...

And I see he's been reading up on his own legend...

A drink or five? I guess Sethyas hasn't really gotten over things, after all.

Beware the drink!

Edit: Post machine!

Seth is BACK! Oh what joy! I´m intrigued to se this story! A brilliant start it is..and as someone else already stated...POSTMACHINE! But that´s good....for us readers!

Go Sethyas Go!

Posted by: mplantinga Feb 2 2007, 08:19 PM

Post-machine indeed. The adventures of Sethyas in Mournhold are off to an exciting start. He does, however, seem to have developed a penchant for violence that is incongruous with his normally reserved, stick-to-the-shadows personality. I do hope that bar fights do not become common fare for our favorite assassin.

Woot, more Sethyas!

Well, I have the feeling that we'll see Rayne again somewhere along the lines. Probably to talk about Sethyas just leaving all of a sudden.

Nice career change though. From godkiller to a bouncer dealing with drunkards and cheating gamblers. Funny things will happen, I'm sure.

I might not post as often as I should, but I have always enjoyed your story BH. I'm just not an avid poster all the time. Wish I could post machine like you, Blacky!

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Feb 2 2007, 11:22 PM

Nice to see Sethyas get back into the fan fiction section with a boatload of updates. That was some nice reading indeed. Bar fights are always classic, you've seen me use them, so why not?

Continue with the superb work, buddy.

I always look forward to this particular quest...

And I look forward to its conclusion.

You're not going to post-machine it up again, are you?

Posted by: jack cloudy Feb 11 2007, 07:13 PM

Heh, the mixing up of the names might be unimportant but it sure gave me a short laugh. And I hope that Sethyas' first action is a quick dive to whatever direction is safest. The moment an obviously high powered mage talks to you like that, you either get out of the way or you get fried.

Or you just stand there, absorb the spell and then throw it back. That's another option I suppose. But I don't think that Sethyas can do that.

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Feb 11 2007, 09:20 PM

I agree with Canis, this quest is always a neat one to perform. I look forward to seeing how Sethyas handles this guy...

Posted by: minque Feb 23 2007, 08:05 PM

Seeing you´re online Blackie....hmm I hope you are going to let us know what happens next.....to my hero Seth....yummy

Awwww.....he´s back on track again.....the sweet Sethyas. I do wish him luck..in the sewers. Another thrilling story about adventures in Mournhold.....I´m thrilled! (And glad to see Blackie posting again) I might be inspired...I just might

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Feb 23 2007, 11:47 PM

Wooo, Black Hand update!!! And a nice one at that too (but then, when aren't they nice?).

Now, I know I shouldn't be expecting you to post machine it up, since I know you want to pace yourself and what not, but it'll be great to see how Sethyas plans to inflitrate the Brotherhood. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Posted by: jack cloudy Feb 24 2007, 04:32 PM

It looks like the DB is quite feared here, not to mention well-known. I'm waiting for the moment where they realize that they've got the Morag Tong's boss sneaking around their city. I bet it's going to be bloody.

Hoo ray! Sethyas updates! Good ones at that!

Sethyas yet again uses his cunning to defeat the problem that rests before him. I thought it was quite ingenious for Sethyas to make the murder look like a traitor had killed the head of the Mourhold Sanctuary in order for a "cleansing" to take place. It's certainly a lot easier than slaughtering the whole lot of them.

Continue when you wish, good sir!

Great stuff! Just walking about amongst the Dark Brothers... very nice. The Morag Tong who took out Versidue-Shae and Savirien-Chorak would be proud.

Posted by: jack cloudy Mar 16 2007, 09:52 PM

Aye, it is a good update. And those cleansings sound brutal, even though they're reasonably effective. (Ignoring the fact that in most cases, there simply isn't a traitor. When there is one, he or she is toast.)

Hmm, cleansings. Maybe I should add some of those to Ra'trith's history. Such a job sounds just right for him. He's already killing his Brothers even without a good reason.

Posted by: Lord Revan Mar 16 2007, 11:18 PM

"....the most extreme measure is the Purification, it has only been preformed three times in the past"

Or Lucien Luchance says something like that, anyway the point is there have only been three purifications in the DB's history.

Posted by: jack cloudy Mar 17 2007, 05:29 AM

Hmm, that's true. But I still like the idea of Ra'trith legally wiping out a sanctuary. Now if Lucien literally says that, he could be referring to in Cyrodiil only. (Yeah, I'm desperate.) Besides, a Dark Brother only knows about his or her own sanctuary, right? So finding out if another sanctuary was purified could be troublesome.

Posted by: minque Mar 17 2007, 10:02 PM

Sethyas my friend.....you are going to get yourself into trouble, mark my words. Mournhold means trouble, it always does. Remember your friends are thinking of you and keep their fingers crossed you´ll get out of it....alive!

regards

S and A

Posted by: mplantinga Mar 20 2007, 01:32 AM

What a spectacular way to deal with the brotherhood. Expecting a ritual cleansing was somehow surprisingly appropriate, and it will be quite disconcerting to the brotherhood. I'm looking forward to seeing what Sethyas does with his newfound information.

Ahhh, enjoyable as always.

Posted by: jack cloudy Mar 20 2007, 10:03 PM

Aye, so Al is going to join in here as well, won't he? Hmm, I'll certainly enjoy their meeting. For now though, let's hope Sethyas can turn the tables on Helseth in this battle of wits.

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Mar 21 2007, 02:49 AM

Let the political games begin!!!

I'm not sure if Sethyas is going to enjoy it that much though, so soon after reuniting all of Vvardenfell too.

Great update Black Hand. You're always on top of your game!

Posted by: mplantinga Mar 27 2007, 04:31 AM

I especially liked the exceptionally calm demeanor of the captain in the face of Sethyas' belligerence. It seems to me their interactions will provide great entertainment. I also enjoyed the way Sethyas has gained an ally, or at least a spy, in Mournhold. I'm sure it be useful.

You know, this sounds like plain gossip but we all know that Helseth comes from a manipulative family. Hell, if you believe the Real Barenziah, his own mother seduced and played the most powerful Battlemage ever like a puppet! (I don't believe it, though.)

Good work though. I feel for Sethyas. He's doing things he'd rather not do, all to get his life back.

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Apr 14 2007, 10:59 PM

Hooo ray! A Sethyas update, good to see them still popping up every once and awile.

It certainly seems that Sethyas is going to be stuck working for the Spider-King for awile. Hopefully he doesn't become overwhelmed by all the dirt he'll have to toss up. Great work as usual Black Hand!

Ah, that Sethyas can be rather manipulative when the need arises. A useful skill in Mournhold, to be sure.

It's good to see you back and posting, Black Hand.

Posted by: jack cloudy Jul 2 2007, 09:33 PM

Welcome back. Now let me tell ya, the temple may act all nice and stuff (well, to willing sponsors, that is.) but they can be damn rough if you get on the wrong foot. But I have all the confidence in the wrold that Sethyas won't be stupid enough to get into a brawl with a bunch of hands.

Posted by: minque Jul 2 2007, 09:37 PM

Woah! My dear Sethyas is back..that is wonderful! I´ve missed him so much and I really can´t wait to learn more of his adventures in Mournhold..

Oh this is just so good......

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Jul 3 2007, 10:22 PM

The same sentiments come from me as well. It's great to see the continuation of this story.

Sethyas insight on things is certainly impeccable. He catches the nuances that characters display quite frequently. Plus, his altercation with Gaenor was excellently described, his reaction was priceless.

Hopefully posting of this story will become more frequent, but I shall remain patient for whenever that comes next.

Nice investigating as always. I can imagine Sethyas' frustration. Do this, do that and all that stuff. Man, it's like everyone is scheming against Helseth. He should just stop working for his enemy and try to get all the different schemers to coöperate.

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Jul 12 2007, 10:20 PM

Hehe, that Guard is quite the character, I'm glad Sethyas found some amusement dealing with him as well. Consistently awesome work as always, Black Hand!

Excellent update. Most excellent indeed.

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Jul 24 2007, 03:45 AM

Hmm that paragraph about Sethyas sticking to his Morag Tong guidelines leaves me interested in how he'll handle these writs. Will he in fact, murder these men or consider another possible option. I look forward to seeing which conclusion he chooses.

Glad to see he isn't very happy with Delitan right now.

Updates! Yay!

It certainly appears that Sethyas has made his decision on how to deal with these three. I'll be curious if he tries to coverup the real purpose of assassinating the other two as well.

Welcome back to the fold!

You're a fabulous writer Blackie! Anyone told you that?

Posted by: canis216 Jan 9 2008, 03:09 AM

The pawnbroker is dead? Who could have done that? I know nothing... nothing.

Methinks that Sethyas is going to be running into a certain Temple steward soon...

Posted by: The Metal Mallet Jan 9 2008, 08:25 AM

Excellent rendition of those two tasks Black, I wouldn't have expected Sethyas to handle it any other way. I wonder how the meeting with the queen will go?

From one manipulator to the next. While I hate to admit it, she does have a point however.

Ahhh, very very good Blackie! Seth really has done it again! And his conversation with Barenziah was wonderful indeed. Also I like the way you made her vivid! The way you pictured her was very convincing and trustworthy, gosh you made her almost human...

Please I want more of this!

I liked how the guy just stayed cool and all while Seth was freaking out all the time.

Speaking of which, I'm getting a bit worried. Seth freaking out during a conversation doesn't happen often. But when it happens, it means stuff is getting serious.
