"Hey, I like fighting as much as the next person - but not when it will lead to nothing. Anyway. let's get on with this."

OOC: gotta mow grass...drag sel along.

[MerGirl]

She became serious at Sel's words. "But, invisibility is only going to last so long... especially when there's a group of us. Magic is hard to make last, so, unless you have enough invisibility potions for all of us and to last, we are going to have to make some sacrifices..."

She thought for a second. "Well, maybe just a little bit of invisibility soon after the explosion... but not too much to make mister battlemage exhausted. And then, after it wears off," she shrugged, smiling "whatever happens, happens!"

[gamer10]

"Well, whatever's going to happen better happen soon." Said Niran

"I don't mind killing a few more guards. I could clear the way for all of you." Niran said unsheathing his sword "If you're too afraid of getting caught."

[BobV]

"Invisibility is overrated. The gate's just a stone's throw away from the Guildhall and between here and Caldera the only civilization we'll run into will be a few guar farmers. By the time someone figured out what's happening here, we'll be far out of town. Let's get on with it then" , Anthanes said as he climbed up the ladder, carrying two of his 'grenades' .

After making sure everyone had climbed up the ladder he threw the grenades at the wall, creating a large explosion and increasing the hole's size, allowing a humanoid to walk through it. Anthanes jumped out of the hole, swords at the ready.

"Get it moving!"

[Dantrag]

Sel only frew his dagger - he didn't want the glow of his longsword to give them away.

He plunged in after Anthanes and followed him out.

OOC: see you all in like 2 hours...

[MerGirl]

OOC: Oh, okay.

Celia grabed the back of Sel's clothing, closely following him. She turned her head and glanced back, hoping no one was after them. So far so good. As the guards ran towards the ruined area of the blast.

Suddenly, a bystander got in their way, and Celia stumbled, pushing the bystander. Whoops!

[gamer10]

The orc Celia had pushed turned around
"Hey, what the heck." He said angrily "Watch it!" he grabbed her by the wrist.

Niran who had been following skidded to a halt and looked at the scene Celia had just caused.

Oh great, this is just plain stupid

[BobV]

Anthanes cursed.

"Dammit, you tusked green fool! Now is not the time!"

Anthanes cast a paralyzing spell on the orc, and if it worked pried Celia out of the orc's grip.

[Wolfie]

Jonacin wandered back to the camp after several hours. Serene was still unconsious. He hoped she would be ok. He asked around to see if there was any work to be done, and was told that some of the Deadra from a nearby ruin were starting to get troublesome. He decided to go clear them out.

[MerGirl]

As Athanes loosened the orc's grip on Celia's hand, she noticed a few guards coming towards their general direction. Her hands tightened onto her hammer as she was released. "Athanes, I'm sorry, but we got company."

[gamer10]

"Damn it, just keep going the rest of you. I'll take them!"

Niran ran straight for the guards.

[BobV]

"Hold! I'll distract them!"

Anthanes began chanting in daedric, and in a swirl of magick a Dremora appeared in front of the guards bearing a fearsome daedric battleaxe.
The Dremora threw himself onto the guards, hacking away at them with his axe with the murderous glee native to the denizens of Oblivion.

While the Dremora was 'distracting' the guards, Anthanes continued on to the gate.

"Come on, by Boethiah! Keep it going!"

[gamer10]

Niran stopped and turned around, now chasing back after the crazed mage.

[MerGirl]

(OOC: Sorry, internet's slower than usual.)

Celia took Sel's hand and, as they ran, she shouted as she glanced at the Dremora at the corner of her eye, "Hey! What did I say about less bloodshed?"

She dragged Sel after the battlemage, hoping no more people were after them. She noticed a guard right behind them. Reacting quickly, she suddenly crouched down and whacked the guard across the legs, crippling him. "Sorry!" she shouted as she dragged Sel away from the crumbled guard. "Hopefully, he will get a healer to look after that..."

[gamer10]

(OOC: Niran is currently behind Celia)

Niran watched as they ran,already they were in the distance. They probably though he had followed the stupid mage.

He went after the first guard he saw, vengeance for his family.

[BobV]

OOC: Niran, they're Redorans I think, not imperials

IC: After they were a reasonable distance away from Ald'ruhn, Anthanes began walking at a normal pace. He looked behind him and noticed Niran wasn't amongst them.

"Dammit. The hot-headed fool's getting himself killed."

Ah well. Good riddance.

"What are we going to do now?"

[gamer10]

OOC: He doesn't care, he's going on a rampage. Any guard would do, he doesn't think very clearly in situations like these.

To Mergirl:No need, Niran is still killing guards, he doesn't care if they are Redorans.)

[MerGirl]

[quote=BobV]OOC: Niran, they're Redorans I think, not imperials[/quote]

(OOC: Yeah, that would make sense... since we're in Ald-ruhn, right? Er, who's posting next? You guys could edit your posts if you want.)

[gamer10]

Niran came upon the temporarily crippled guard, and brought his sword up.

He brought it down.

Suddenly he stopped himself , he couldn't do it. No matter how much he hated people in general, he couldn't kill this man who was unable to defend himself.

"You're lucky," he told the guard before walking after Sel and Celia, he knew he wouldn't catch up with them for a short time, seeing as how they had been running.

[MerGirl]

(OOC: I have to go now... This volunteer work has been taking up most of my time, and I have so very little time to post... So, good night, guys!)

Celia had pondered whether or not they should go back when she saw, in the far distance behind her, Niran hovering over the crippled guard. "Oh, no," she whispered, dreading the worst.

Then, to her great surprise, Niran had spared the guard it seemed.

As Niran walked towards them, Celia ran to him and hugged him tightly. "Oh, you are a noble person on the inside!"

Blushing, she released him and turned to the mage and Sel. "Where should we go from here? To Caldera, right?"
