OOC: we're saying you can't cast spells period. makes for a more interesting play. And I know what reflect does, but it's more interesting if he can't cast spells....just make the guards slap a slaves; bracer on him.


"Come on Konrad." Sel said.

It will be easy to get away with my amulet...but how do we get Anthanes out and Niran off the gallows? Sel wondered.

Sel approached one of the guards. he hoped his conversation with the guard would give Konrad a clue as to what he was planning.

"So, once we get OUTSIDE, we can go our SEPARATE ways?" Sel asked. (He's telling Konrad to run off, so they have one guarda piece.)

"No. You two have to stay together." the guard replied dutifully.

"But I hate this brat." Sel protested, just so the conversation wouldn't seem suspicious.[/i]

[Konji]

OOC: Uh, I'm not certain. Dantrag? What exactly are the rules of reflect oh great one?

[Wolfie]

OOC: Reflect will flip a spell cast at the person under reflect back at the person who cast it.

OOC: You don't, just leave him there, he'll escape on his own.

[Konji]

Konrad replied back. "Hey! So now you let it out! Well I hate you too then!" konrad scowled and went beside him, berating the guard. The guard disagreed, and gestured over for Secundus to join him. "
Get going, now. i want you out in 3 seconds or the archer shoot you down like alits." commanded Quintus.

[Dantrag]

Sel needed no second warning. He grabbed Konrad's arm and activated his amulet, making him and Konrad appear in front of a sleeping Celia.

"Fun." Sel muttered. "Damned guards."

[Konji]

Konrad floundered, waving his arms about to keep his balance. "By Azura! Give me some warning next time!" Konrad shouted at Sel, looking down at Celia. "so now what? We getting reinforcements?" he enquired, crouching down beside the dozing figure.

[Dantrag]

"No - we're going back for Anthanes and Niran." Sel replied. "Just without pesky guards watching us."

[Konji]

"So what are we doing with the Altmer then?" Konrad asked rudely, standing on a bag of flour and sending a cloud of white dust erupting out of the sack.

[Channler]

'Hurry quick! Women and children in the stronghouse! Hurry, they're coming!" Falx's eyes fluttered open, "What the hell, and for once I was having a good dream"
His gazed wandered out of the window, and to his surpise numerous werewolves lurked outside the house.

"Damn..."

In the Stronghouse..

"Is everyone okay?" The village elder looked around on the crowded townspeople, "Is everyone here and acounted for Brutus?"
"Sir... There's one still out there. Remeber the man that Mr. Afer took in? Well sir, he's still in their house" Brutus was a strong young man, merely 17 years of age yet incredibly skilled in the usage of bows.
The elder rubbed his wrinkled chin, "Hmm" His face turn downcast before saying, "..May the god's have mercy on his soul" The elder stepped from his spot and sat down.

"But sir!" The young man pleaded, "We can't just leave him there! Surely the wolves will find him! We've got to do something!"
"Listen boy! I will not endanger the lives of our town for a stranger. The man doesn't even know he is! Perhaps this is the god's will.."
"Sir..." the boy tried to continue
"Enough! I have made the decision and that is final!"

Mr. Afers Home

Falx quickly put on his borrowed clothes, not bothering to wash. "Great, they leave me here, alone.." He stopped for a second and pondered that, "No, nevermind, not alone. In the company of werewolves!" Calmly he searched the house for anything that could be classified as a werewolf fighting weapon. The Knight found it odd that he knew how to fight a werewolf, but not anything of his name...

Part I

[gamer10]

They pushed Niran into a small cell and closed the door.

He sat against the wall with his hands behind his head.

[MerGirl]

Celia slept heavily for awhile now, until her nose started feeling ticklish. Then, she breathed in some sort of dust and sneezed.

Now awake, she stretched herself and stood up--

And saw, right in front of her, Konrad and Sel.

"Oh!" She jumped a foot from the floor, startled. Then, she said sternly, "Warn a girl, why don't you?"

[Dantrag]

"there was no time for warnings - they caught me, thanks to Niran."

"We're going to Fort Moonmoth to rescue Niran from the gallows and Anthanes from prison...coming?" Sel asked.

[BobV]

Anthanes' longsword was confiscated by the Imperials, but they didn't bother to remove his armor, confident that he wouldn't need it.

Anthanes and his escort of guards set out from Fort Moonmoth. They hadn't made it that far away from the fort before Anthanes pointed at the sky with a grave look on his face.

"Look, a pack of cliffracers. I don't like the look of this."

"Huh?" , the guards replied, both of them at the same time.

As the guards looked up, Anthanes rammed his steel-clad elbow into the face of the guard left of him which was not protected well by the open Imperial helm. The guard staggered back, groaning in pain.

"I don't see any cliffrac---HEY! What're you doing?" , the other guard exclaimed as he turned around. Anthanes muttered an incantation and a minor daedric spirit, taking the form of a razor-sharp longsword, appeared in his hand. The guard unsheathed his broadsword, made of Cyrodiilic steel, and sent a rather clumsy blow against the battlemage.

Anthanes gripped his bound longsword in both hands and landed a blow on his opponent's weapon, shattering it into pieces. Before the Legionary could react, Anthanes raised the sword over his head and brought the blade down in a sweeping arc, severing the Imperial's head. The Daedric sword-spirit flickered and dissappeared.

The remaining guard started regaining control over himself and blinked as he saw his beheaded fellow soldier. He reached for his sword, and saw it in the hands of the Battlemage, who rammed it into the soldier's belly. The Legionary gurgled and fell down onto the ground.

Anthanes looked at the two corpses, and smirked.

Send better men next time.

He began to walk back to Balmora, avoiding the main road.

OOC: This post might get edited

[MerGirl]

Celia stood dumbfounded. "Gallows? Prison? Wha-what did you guys do this time!" She rolled her eyes and sighed an exasperated, unusual of her, but she was not in the most of sympathic of moods and Niran has pushed her to the limits. "Niran, Niran, Niran."

She held out her hand to Sel, a small smile on her face. "Lead the way then, silly Dunmer!"

[Dantrag]

"Let's go then." Sel said.

He seemed to just now notice that Konrad was covered in flour.

"Come on, Konrad." he said, laughing.

He lead the way out the door and towards Fort Moonmoth, the sun was rising - morning would come soon.

OOC: no you don't lonewolfie

[BobV]

Anthanes sat on a ridge, overlooking Fort Moonmoth. [OOC: Moonmoth's built in a mountainous area] He had to get Niran out of there somehow...But how? I'll have to find the others...Can dispatch of the cretins hounding them too, no doubt...

He cast a levitation spell and began travelling to Balmora. Until he saw some familiar shapes in the distance, that was.

[Wolfie]

After several hours of travelling, Jonacin reached the Dwemer ruins. He walked up to the heavy doors and made sure he had all his gear ready. He had bought two enchanted amulets specifically for the trip, namely Mark and Recall amulets. Using the Mark amulet, he set the marker just outside the door. Then he pushed them open and walked inside

[gamer10]

(OOC: I'm in a different place so it won't matter.)

The guard opened the cell door, startling Niran.

"Stand up," he said "Eat this now." he threw some bread an Niran. Niran instead of eating it threw it back.

"Fine then," the guard said, he tied Niran's hand "Go," the guard said, and followed after Niran with his sword at the ready should the fool try anything on the short walk to the gallows.

Niran gazed hopelessly at the beautiful sunrise.

[Dantrag]

Mage

Arcyakt sat at the end of a long table, in the entryway, facing the door.

"Ah, Jonacin." the mage greeted. "I thought you would join me with some...company." he said cordially.

"Come, join me at the table. Have some wine. It's quite good - from Sommerset Isle as a matter of fact."
