A Mystery Unleashed - Playground 5 Options

[Konji]

Konrad searched the landscape in the direction Ceklia was looking. "I see nothing, I'll go closer...." He kicked his horse and went ahead of everybody, checking to see what Celia did see-saw.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco swiftly grabbed one of his scimitars, only for safty. He rode off hard up to Konrad's side as he scanned over. He could see something but, it was to unclear...

"Damn eye!" Arco said as he held over his left eye...

[gamer10]

"what is it, what do you see?" Niran asked?

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco rode closer... It soon appeared to be a crowd, it soon followed with cries from women and men. He soon managed to see it was bandits. Arco drew his two scimitars and kicked off charging ahead, the fight was almost three hundred feet away but the horse ran fast...

Arco didn't even have time to say what it was before he leaped off his horse a few feets away from the bandits, it was around twenty as he could see surrounding a little group of refugees...

"A little unfair isn't it...? Gather ten more and attack me, then we are nearing what we can call fair" Arco cried out at the bandits intimidating them...

Arco was combat ready, stay a little low with both his body and scimitars. One of bandits started reaching for his crossbow on his hip and the others soon locked onto the Dunmer.

[Dantrag]

Sel

Sel saw the bandits and immediately jumped off his horse and drew his sword and dagger. He ran towards Arco, and stood beside him. He threw his dagger at the man with the crossbow, and he fell with a dager protruding from his face. Sel gripped his sword hilt in both hands.

"I hope no one else has a crossbow." Sel said dryly.

[gamer10]

Seeing the trouble, Niran rode up, his sword drawn.

"Well well well," he said as he dismounted

(I didnt see it because my connection was going slow and I was writing this post)

[Konji]

Konrad charged past, his sword kept low and slicing through two heads....only one of them being a bandits. "Bugger!" konrad cried out, turning arounbd the fine beast. Leaping off forwards he rolled and sliced away the feet of another bandit, then stabbed yet another in the back of the neck. Looking around he saw the rest of the bandits fleeing...saving their own skins.

[gamer10]

As the bandits fled Niran took the crossbow from a dead one and fired at them.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco went up to Niran and grabbed his bolt before he could send of a second one...

"Enough... Those poor souls wont turn back" Arco said slowly pushing Niran's crossbow point down against the road before he ran up to one of the women that had been savagly beaten. They had just comed in time, they were all alive, thought the bandits had gotten what they were out for...

Arco stepped back looked out after the bandits and cursed them. He took out his sack and the food he bought from the Inn. He gave it to the woman giving her instructions to give some to all before he went up and back on his horse...

"I see most you want to shed blood...?" Arco looked at Sel, Niran and Konrad... "I hope for them, that they were acting in share confusion and possible scared after the attack" Arco said before he rode off again...

[Konji]

OOC: Nearly all alive Arco...I killed one.

Konrad wiped the blood off his dagger onto his jerkin, jumping onto his horse again. Stroking its head, he followed Arco back to the group, smiling at everyone and falling in line.

[gamer10]

Breathing a sigh of relief that all the innocents were now safe Niran threw down the crossbow: "I have no need for a weapon that was touched by the dirty hands of a criminal."

He walked to the group of refugees "How do you fare? Do you have any sicknesses?"

Then he turned, and saw the dead body of a refugee "Who did this?"

[Konji]

Konrad looked back at Niran, hoping he wouldn't find out.

[gamer10]

Niran knelt beside the body

"What is his name?" he asked the refugees

But none of them were in condition to tell him.

"Where I come from, death would be the punishment for such a crime."

[Dantrag]

Sel

Sel walked up beside Niran. "The punishment where I come from is a thousand septims." he began. "Unless I kill the guilty one." he added as he pulled his dagger from a bandit's skull.

He turned away and walked back towards the group. He came up beside Konrad and whispered in his ear. "I know." before mounting his horse.

[gamer10]

"A thousand septims for a life? How does that even out."

Even so, Niran let it go. If he ever found out who did it, he would kill him.
Niran turned back and mounted his horse.

[Dantrag]

Sel

"It doesn't." Sel answered. "Now let's continue."

OOC: the thousand septims is part of Sel's history...he's still angry.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco nodded. He also knew from his past that money didn't really pay for a murder at least for people who can pay so much u would be willing to turn yourself in and pay...

"Well there's not much we can do now... Lets continue" Arco said riding up by Sel...

"Aggressive those too..." Arco whispered to Sel as they rode along the road...[/i]

[gamer10]

Niran mounted his horse, and waited for the group to pick up speed.
"Farewell" he said to the refugees.

(oops sorry Fuzzy Knight)

[Konji]

Konrad gulped, riding out a few metres right of everyone else. Getting out a small hunting knife from his pack he kept it in his hands at all times as protetion from any atacking party members. Hoping to not seem suspicious he kept his head down and kept steering slightly irght.

[gamer10]

Niran looked at the group, nothing seemed suspicious. Though he knew the murderer was among them. He wasnt sure who.

He had decided to keep his sword out just in case they came into a similar situation again.
