A Mystery Unleashed - Playground 5 Options

[Konji]

Konrad sighed, seing he was fighting a losing battle. "I see you have no idea on what sheathing your sword represents Jonacin." He troted around the group, his eyes locked on the stranger.

[gamer10]

Feeling hostility towards himself, Niran brought his sword up.

[Konji]

Konrad put up his hands to the group. "I didn't set him off!"

"It's not you, I feel we are being watched. Ride carefully these next few miles, and be wary of anything disturbing."

Niran, didnt just feel it, he knew it. They were not following the group, but they were following him. He did not want to bring others into his problem.

[Red]

"Is this certain, or are you coaxing us into a friendship? Also, I am sorry about my comrades, they are quick to violence and obviously don't understand that walking into a group of armed men is intimidating"

Niran sighed, another thing he did not like about other people, a lack of trust.
This was a reason he did not get along well with others.

"You can choose to believe me, or you can go on your way, unprepared."

[Konji]

Konrad rode up next to Shakur. "Don't forget women, they can be very intimidating as well." He laughed kicking into his horse and speeding a few times up and down the track they were on.

[Red]

"Well, if we are riding into danger, you can come with us for a while, but don't expect much love from this group"

"Love? Why would I expect love, none has been shown to me in the past. I have no friends, nor do I plan on making any." His eyes wandered from one group member to the other, and he felt different inside. For all their eyes showed kindness, not the hatred he was so used to. "I will come with you, but allowing me to follow puts you and your friends at risk. I am running from an enemy and he will follow us and kill us if he gets the chance too. I offer you little skills as a swordsman, but I will fight to defend the group as well as I can." He hoped that the rest of them would except him as a group member.

Turning to Serene he said:

"I must apologise for the rude statement I made at the inn, seeing you cry made me feel as if I had commited a terrible wrongdoing. You were only showing me kindness, something I do not yet understand. You must understand that the times are hard for everyone, I have lived with very little all my life. But I do not wish to discuss myself now, for we have a task ahead, a long one." As he said this he tried to stare directly at her eyes, but found it hard to do so.

He liked being able to say we, it made him feel secure. Now that he was part of a group he felt the need to express himself, though he was not sure how to do so. He still didnt know anyone from this group well enough. But he sighed because he knew that had been the case all his life.

Turning away from them, he climbed his horse and sat in the saddle. He brought his horse around to face behind the rest of the group, it was several feet away from the last horse in the group.

(okay, time for an update on his past, just a tidbit: basically, the person thats following him is an assasin. And if you guys role play while I'm logged off, just pretend Niran is following you around. He doesnt talk much anyway.)

Sel

Sel watched the spectacle in silence, his input on the subject would not be appreciated by any of the group. He would have suggested leaving the strange man behind. He did not trust him, mainly because of his previous actions.

When he saw Konrad's actions, he was reminded of himself at that age - would fight anything anywhere...even if he would lose. He almost felt proud of the boy, yet Sel would never tell the boy, lest he get even sillier ideas than fighting such an obviously strong warrior like Niran.

Even though Sel did not trust Niran, that did not mean that he wouldn't give the man a second, or even a third, chance. He slowed his horse down until he was trotting easily beside Niran behind everyone else.

"So, what exactly do you have chasing us, and how did it happen?" Sel asked in an attempt to know the man better.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco has been silent as always and rode up by Sel's side... Arco wasn't sure if there were anything good in letting Niran into this group, its enough danger already.

"Well I dont know about you others... But I really want to get going, with all this danger I doubt we have time for this chatting" Arco said looking around in the group..

[Konji]

Konrad unpacked his leather bag and searched inside it ferverently. Upon finding his water container he drank heartily, waiting by the roadside for everyone. "I fear a great evil is descending upon us. I feel the winds changing their tone." He looked east, shading his eyes from the sun. "We have a long trek, and I do not doubt there will be many dangers. We must proceed quickly...we may outrun some." He turned his horse around, falling in in the middle of the group. "I am beggining to feel like the when I was with the refugees, a defenceless huddle. We must keep sharp eyes for te rest of today, and set up a watch tonight."

[Red]

"Well, then let's move. If we are too anxious to get attacked we should leave this rock" Shakur started his horse into a jog, hoping the others would do the same.

[MerGirl]

(OOC: I may not respond too much today, because of family trip later on in later afternoon...)

Glancing around quickly, Celia nodded. "Konrad and the others are right: we really should be going!" She shivered. "Assassins, I hate 'em! I'd rather get chased by those demons again..." She ran back towards the city. "Let me get a horse real quick..."

She had then managed to bribe a man for one of his spare horses with for several gold pieces, as well as buying some food and ingredients and healing potions. "Just in case," she thought to herself.

By the time she rode back to the group, they had advanced much further than before. She galloped after Shakur, who seemed to be more ahead of the group. "Hey, when will we know how close we are to Morrowind? Is there a sign or a river or mountain range or something?"

[Red]

OOC: Got ahold of a computer did you?

IC: "We'll be going north-east of here until we meet the Velothi montains. we will then trek north to the far reaches of the mountains where they descend into the great city of Blacklight. Then we can get a nice boat to Khuul and then take the short walk to Gnisis and then Ald'ruhn. Unless anyone has any objections" Shakur said to Celia. "It sounds confusing, but the only amazingly hard part is the mountains, where if we go to high, we'll die from lack of air. And believe my dead guide Roland, passing out and falling down the summit isn't very fun".

[Konji]

OOC: Don't ask her a question noww!!!! She'll take the whole of the weekend to write her post then.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco started to get reminded of his past job as a assassin in his old tribe. He was one of the most skilled assassin in the Grazelands and east side of Vvardenfell, if there were a assassin after one in the group Arco would notice... He was only glad no one knew, he rode up to Jonacin, Serene, Celia and the others...

"It has taken to long with this talk, lets go" Arco demanded and grined before starting riding off...

"I'll tell you when we are in Morrowind Celia..." Arco added...

[Red]

"Another good way to know you're in Morrowind is when a Dunmer calls you s'wit and runs at you with a dagger" Shakur joked.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco laughed as he heard Shakur...

"Or if you're called a outlander..." He said laughing... "I really think you will notice when we are crossing over to Morrowind Celia.."

[MerGirl]

Celia shrugged. "I remember the hostility. After all, I've been chased out by some sour Bug-Dunmer-Hybrid monsterthings." She shivered. "And I've also been chased out of the Gateway Inn by a ghost... Really wierd..." She paused. "But interesting, I guess."

She squinted her eyes, trying to look beyond the horizon as they rode. "Hey, I see something in the distance..."
