To Heir is Human II - Playground 10, Continuing... Options

[Dantrag]

Rann

Soldin's question brought his thoughts spiraling back to the present.

"Damn, kid. How long have you been following us?" he asked. Soldin's appearance was sobering. Normally nobody would be able to sneak up on him without him knowing. He guessed that the same went for Issac. The times were too dangerous right now to be caught unawares.

Soldin

The young Nord reeled, thinking for a moment that he had done something wrong by speaking up. "Uhm... just for a short while." His glowing adolescent eyes had faded somewhat, adjusting to the light of the recently passing events.

[Dantrag]

Rann

"You're fine," he said as an apology, seeing that Soldin interpreted his surprised question as anger, "We're glad to have you."

He felt a bit bad about Soldin joining them; meeting Mannimarco wasn't going to be a walk in the courtyard. But he couldn't deny the fact that he was glad to have someone to talk to when Issac decided to drop silly love-ridden lines on his sister.

"I saw you use that bow on that werewolf a while back," he said as they started walking again, "Nice shot."

[ShogunSniper]

Soldin

Soldin smiled. "You get practice when you live off the land. Every couple of days I have to snag myself a deer or a boar or wolf. Never have I used a bow in combat though..." he trailed off and glanced at Satyana and Isaac.


(OOC: where are they headed exactly?)

Rann

"Damn good first try," he said, messing the boy's hair as if Soldin were his brother, "If you can do that again, you're already better than Issac."

[Dantrag]

Green-Root.

They walked slowly, sticking in the shadow of the trees and checking the ground for twigs and leaves before proceeding. Letting the army know it was being shadowes was the last thing they wanted. Fortunately the Silhouette's army made so much noise that the occasional mistake of the less stealthy members in the party went unnoticed.

Aerona

Aerona crept around with the rest of the group, but was definately one of the ones that made the occasional mistakes.

She tapped Green-Root on the shoulder and whispered, "What are we doing? Are we going to attack them?"

Soldin

Soldin smiled and let out a quiet chuckle. His face darkened once more when he returned to what they were doing. "So what exactly is Mannimarco?"

[Dantrag]

Rann

"Mannimarco is a necromancer. The best, actually. He claimed that he became a god, which is debatable, but I don't doubt he has the power to back up the claim. Legend has it he was in control of Tiber Septim's totem at one point. The Order of the Black Worm, a necromancer clan, worships him. All in all, someone you don't want to get in a fight with."

[ShogunSniper]

Soldin

"And yet," Soldin added on to Rann's explanation, "We are moving south to face him? Can we actually take him?"

[Dantrag]

Rann

Rann shrugged, "Maybe," he answered, looking at his tattooed arm, even though it was covered by his sleeve.

"The real question to ask, though, is 'Does Kirana have a chamce if we do nothing?'"

[ShogunSniper]

Sadril, Rahvin, and Brianna

The trio, though ruffled, bruised, and reeking of Durzog matter, exited the cave through a small opening. They were now on the east side of the largest of the Velothi that once blocked their path. Before them lied a less violent mounatin range and mainland Morrowind. Beyond that, in the Inner Sea the island of Vvardenfell could be seen.

"Somewhere out there we will find Amrita," Sadril waved his arm at the landscape before them. "So where do we start?" he turned to them and asked. His eyes were barely open, if at all. They were still used to the dark cave, and were doubly hurt by the sun due to his vampirism.

Soldin

"I suppose we have no choice then," Soldin said. He didn't even know Kirana, but the thought that he knew of someone who needed help drove him to continue with the group.

Still, he yearned for more information, "Who is Kirana exactly?"

Rahvin

"Good question," he said, as he wiped his bloody sword on Sadril's shirt jokingly. The whole durzog situation had been more than mildly humorous, as each of them had taken a ride before killing the beasts.

"I say we start with the inn. Clean all that durzog blood off your shirt," he said, pointing to the stain he just created.

Rann

"Seriously?" he asked, "She's the one who showed up during the fight with the werewolves. She turned one into ash with a fire spell..." he waited for the bells in Soldin's head to ring. They didn't. He kept trying to jog the boy's memory.

"Later on she sacrificed herself for all of us by teleporting Mannimarco and herself away from us...Issac's mom?"

"you don't remember her at all?"

[ShogunSniper]

Sadril

Sadril glared at Rahvin for a moment. The blood didn't show well on his black shirt, but it created a distasteful aroma and a sticky mess.

He popped his neck, still staring with a "Just you wait" look, before he spun around. "I don't have a map on me but..." he spotted a path leading downhill and eastward. "That path should lead to a road. Inn's are on roads, and roads lead to cities. Cities contain people," at this point the vampire had already started down the path acting as if he couldn't care less of Brianna and Rahvin. "And Amrita is a person," he concluded coldly.

Soldin

"I remember but..." he looked down as they walked, feeling a bit ashamed, "It's just... so much has happened. I lose track of things, you know?" He picked his head up and again his gaze focused to Satyana and Isaac and their flirtatious antics.

Rahvin

Rahvin thought on the Sadril's last statement for a while, and knew that it was directed towards Brianna and her hatred and fear of her daughter. He agreed with Sadril, but also felt for Brianna, so decided to keep silent on the issue.

"Come on, Bree, let's go find an inn." he said before starting off behind Sadril.

Rann

"S*** happens. I forget stuff all the time," he said, noticing that his words probably weren't heard, as Soldin was fixated on Issac and Satyana.

I should've asked the Silhouette if he wanted to come along instead of these two.

[Lord Revan]

Karn

The three Shadow Eaters that had trailed Mannimarco were back and they stood with an intimidating superiority over common man..... and mer. "What have you seen?" Karn asked.

"The King of Worms went to an Altmer, both are some distance away. It would appear the necromancer is waiting for something, although....." The assassins paused and looked at each other as if..... uncertain?

Karn waited patiently, clapsing his hands behind his backand giving them a look that said 'get on with it.' "The necromancer king collapsed sensei, he was out cold when we left them."

The sensei raised an eyebrow at the sheer rediculousness of the claim, but he believed the Shadow Eaters. They weren't run-of-the-mill mercenaries, so whatever they witnessed had to be accurate. "Well, then I shall address this matter personally." Karnh turned to Patholos, "I shall return shortly."

With that he departed...

Issac

Like Rann, he was also surprised to find Soldin amongst them. However, he grinned, more amused than annoyed. "Nice to see you too, Soldin." Issac said, addressing the fact that the nord seemed to spend a lot of time glancing in their direction.

OCC: They aren't doing anything overt, just joking with each other..... sheez. There's a difference between devotion and obbession (thank you very much!)

Soldin

"Yeah..." Soldin replied depressingly to Rann. When Isaac addressed him, he answered "Uh thanks."

He then looked back down at his feet, thinking he had been noticed glancing over at the two.

Sadril

They traveled down the path for a short while before it merged with a less steep road. Sure enough, as Sadril predicted, an Inn shortly followed. Sadril, being a few moments ahead of Brianna and Rahvin, took the liberty of ordering drinks for three and occupied a table. That's all he ordered, though, as he didn't know whether they planned to stay or just clean up.

He preferred to get going as soon as possible.

[Dantrag]

OOC: taking some minor liberties with Brianna, minque. If you mind, I'll edit later.

Rahvin

Rahvin and Brianna entered the inn to find Sadril already sitting at a table with a round of drinks.

"What would we do without you, Sadril?" he asked as he sat down and began to sip at his drink, "So what's the plan? It's kind of hard to find someone when all you know is that said person is possibly in the country."

Rann

"Come on," he said, punching Soldin lightly on the arm, "Don't get all gloomy."

OOC #2: i think i'm off for the night. glad to see you back, shogun.

[ShogunSniper]

OOC: i doubt minque will mind. its the first time brianna has done something in months

Sadril

"It's not a possibility. It's a fact," Sadril told Rahvin. Of course it wasn't a fact. Sadril had a connection with the darker river of energy on Nirn; the 'Shadows' as he called them. Occasionally he would place his trust in the shadows and it sometimes would get him where he needed to go. This was one of those times.

Plus Veric usually interrupted if things were going wrong, and he hadn't been heard from in days.

"Soluthis is near here I think. We head in the direction of Black Light . From there, Vvardenfell. We should just rest up here real quick then get goin' again. We'll stay the night in Soluthis." Sadril took a deep drink and set down the empty jug on the table. He looked around, a hungry look in his eyes.

No, I'll feed in the next town.

Soldin

"You're right. After all, it's not like we're marching off to our dooms, right?" he asked satirically.

[The Metal Mallet]

Flogir

Tailing the Silhouette's army had been fairly easy so far. It seemed that they were heading to the Imperial City the straightest way possible, making a parallel course easy to enact. The others with him had kept a steady march, despite the fact that many of them had little to no soldiering experience.

He caught Aenora's question to Green-Root and decided to answer it himself.

"Well, currently, I'm trying to figure out a way to inflitrate this army and hopefully hamper the speed of their march. We might have to try to march out ahead of their vangaurd and cause an obstruction of their marching course. Torching a forest, or destroying a dam which would flood a bridge are methods we could possibly use. We could also try attack their supplies during the night, but that risks conflict with their vast army. I was going to ask the rest of you guys which method you'd think you'd like to--" his voice trailed off as a robed Altmer came striding over to them.

Voltar

"Master? It that you!?" Voltar asked incredulously as he approached the group. He mimiced that Veric in the form of Altair had clearly come into view. "It is you!" he said joyously.

He stopped a few feet from the group. "Ahh, so he found you guys it seems. We met in Leyawiin correct?" he asked before continuing, "Anyways, thank you for allowing him to stick with you guys. I don't know if I could've lived with myself if I found out that my Master was did because I got separated from him!"

Voltar quietly hoped that his act wasn't too over-the-top, he needed to reincorporate himself into Veric's plans. Actually staying with the group would do better than simply spying on them he thought.


OOC: Got an idea where you want Amrita to be yet? I was thinking Mournhold, because that's still on the mainland and I'm fairly familiar with that place.

[jack cloudy]

Green-Root.

Green-Root fought the urge to hiss and bare his teeth. Instead, he merely glanced at Voltar with his best 'I-know-what-you-are-up-to' expression, or at least the Argonian equavelent.
,,Ah, of course, the army. You probably went to hide in a cave, didn't you? Caves are popular these days. Assassin Dunmer, yelloweyed Bretons, they all love it." He greeted Voltar with a heavy load of sarcasm.
,,Be careful, friend. You are walking on slippery ground here."

He walked closer to Aerona and bent down.
,,See these leaves and twigs? They make a lot of noise if you step on them. You can clear them out of the way like this." He said and demonstrated how to sweep aside the many twigs and leaves littering their path. Behind him, he sweeped them back into their former position with his tail.
,,And the tailsweeping is a personal trick of mine to prevent a visible trail. Don't try that, please. Tails don't look good on you."



(Green-Root was there when Voltar and Veric had a meeting with Karn.)
