A Mystery Unleashed - Playground Options

[minque]

"NO by all means" Serene watched the stange man yell and run out but she sensed the evil emerging from him, "We´ll stay here, where there´s at least some people we can trust"

She moved closer to the altmer girl and stared at the swinging door hoping for Arco or Jonacin to make their move.....

[Dantrag]

Sel looked behind him as he ran, wondering why nobody had followed him out of the house to investigate. He sensed something was amiss, but with all the strange things happening to him recently, he didn't trust his gut very much.

[Aki]

Fenris looked out the way the Altmer peasant had come in. He then turned back to those in the house, "Uh, time to leave, like...now!" he said. "Ball of bad looking stuff flying thisaway..."

[MerGirl]

Celia nodded to the Imperial's advice, but didn't hear the Nord's warning. "All right. I'll stay right here... unless the others have something else planned?" She glanced at the other strangers, not sure what she herself wanted to do at this point...

[Hukai The Wandering]

Once out of the house, Arcyatk turned and found only one person had followed him outside. Well, if they won't listen... An sinister smile grew on his face while the scorrer(sp?) backed around a conrner and cast a powerful cloaking spell on himself. He willed the light-abosorbing ball of energy to slow to a crawl. It still held a straight course for the house and was only a few hundred feet away, but it's blackhole effect had grown stronger. As the ball paased, buildings would lean towards it.

200 feet...
150 feet...
100 feet...

[minque]

Serene felt it suddenly..

"Celia! come NOW..RUN girl RUNfor your life!"

The women flung to their feet and ran out of the building........just in time...

[Dantrag]

Sel saw the black mass of absorbing energy moving rapidly towards the house he came from. It was now he wished the mage had followed him outside.
"I have to get them out." he thought, turning around, back towards the house. The mass of energy was too fast. Sel knew only blackness for a time.

[Aki]

Fenris watched the ball with curiosity, before running out himself. Stupid mages he thought.

[MerGirl]

Celia panted, "But--but what about the others?" She stopped in her tracks. "Shouldn't we get them?" She ran back towards the house, hoping the others had survived.

"What others..?" Fenris asked.

[Hukai The Wandering]

Arsyatk looked on the scene from the end of the street. Not bad for my first day out of that hell-hole... He saw with pleasure that Sel had gotten swallowed up inside his spell. His work was done. Arcyatk had laid the bait, trapped a living soul, and only had to wait now. With the same short words that he had mumbled many times that day, his atire returned and the sorrcer(sp?) himself dissapeared, taking Sel with him while letting the ball dissprse.

[Dantrag]

Sel woke up and found himself in a strange place. The walls were black, but shiny and opaque. He almost thought he could see faces in the walls, telling him something, warning him.
"Twice in one day." Sel thought. "Knocked out twice." Sel then proceeded to check his things. To his dismay, his dagger was missing.He walked around the small room that caged him, feeling the ice-cold walls for cracks, chacking for something, anything to help him escape. No escape was found. He sat in a corner with his sword out in front of him to light the room in a green glow. If his jailer came, he would be ready.

"Celia! COME BACK, they´ll manage" Serene grabbed the girl ust as she was heading back to the house

"It´s a SOULTRAP"Serene shouted just as she saw a black shadow disappear in a faint mist

[MerGirl]

Celia gasped. "I hope no one got sucked up into that thing...." She looked closely. Well, the house was still in fine condition, and nothing seemed to be misplaced.

She wandered closer to the house, shaking out of Serene's hold, hoping for a clue as to whether the others escaped the house on time. Stepping into the house, she felt something hard beneath her foot, and picked up her skirts to look down. "Interesting..." She picked it up and called to the others, "Um, I found something... Looks like a dagger or something."

[minque]

"May I see? " Serene asked....."someone might have been sucked up in it then"

I wonder.......then she was silent

[Aki]

"Unlucky," Fenris commented blankly.

[Hukai The Wandering]

Arcyatk walked through time, his robe clinging tightly to him due to the harsh wind. He was in a tunnel of blue and black streaks. After a few minutes, he stepped out of the, now closing, tunnel and looked around. He was home. As the high elf walked forward, he gazed at the high ceiling. The room that he teleported to was large. It was completly made out of dark granite. The walls themsleves where as smooth as a pebble found in a stream. Thick, dark colums supported the high ceiling and exqusite(sp?) tapisties(sp?) hung inbetween each one. Arcyatk turned and sat in his throne. An emerald-encrusted seat chisled out of a black rock. A few feet away from his perch a small set of open stairs encopassed him; leading down a few feet to an open hall. The hall was packed with tables of red-cherry wood and each filllled with rottening chunks of meat. With the slight lifting movement of his hand, Arcyatk lit the 400 candles along the walls and brought the dark room into a blaze of warm light.

"And so," He said, more to the empty room than to himself. "It's finally begins."

[Channler]

The party of 40 Knights set out as soon as everyone was prepared for the journey. They were lead by Sir Darius, and the newly appointed Captain Albarnian. No one in the company knew what to expect.

That changed when they were in veiw of the Imperial Walls.

The grand Imperial City was lit a'flame, and winged beasts flew around the battlements.

"Whaa-t? happened to the city!?" shocked one soldier asked.

Darius replied in a low voice, "Oblivion, thats what happened". Darius was old enough to remeber when the emperor was slain, and a unkown adventurer traveled the lands to seek the lost heir.

Falx formed a grin on his face, "Too arms brothers! We fight for the city!"

Off they went, spear and sword in hand..

[MerGirl]

Celia looked back at the Nord and Serene, questioning them with her eyes. "Should we look for survivors...?"

[minque]

Serene nodded at Celia.." we really ought to, where´s the Dunmer who came with you?..still outside?"
