A mystery unleashed - Playground 18 Options

[BobV]

Anthanes stroked his chin, thinking.

"Hmm...A couple years ago I knew an Ashlander who had a rather nice recipe for cliffracer...One day the cliffracers got him rather than the other way around...Quite a pity, really. I don't think the alternative of things we could hunt are much tastier..."

[MerGirl]

Celia raised an eyebrow at the battlemage. "Surely, there has to be some kind of civilization nearby, if we travel far enough...Or, we could try finding less... hostile creatures to hunt, if that's possible in this place..."

She winked at the small girl. "Ignore the crazy battlemage. He's just trying to scare you."

[gamer10]

The little girl smiled

"I can beat him up.

----------------------
Niran looked strangely at her, just a little while ago she was terrified.

"Well, are we staying here to rest, or going somewhere else? I sitll have some questions for this honoured user here." Niran said pointing to the tied man.

[MerGirl]

Celia grinned at the small girl. "I'm sure you can! Just do it when he's sleeping."

She winked at the small girl again, and then turned to Niran. "Er, depends on what the others want to do. I suggest we bring these two to civilization and give them food, despite the risks involved."

Frowning, she asked Niran, "Whatever do you want to ask of this man? I mean, people are just plain cruel and evil everywhere, so why would you need to ask him anything?"

[gamer10]

"Nothing any of you really need to know," Niran said trying not to sound rude.

[MerGirl]

Celia doubted that the Imperial was just going to have a nice conversation. Perhaps, a conversation involving pain and torture. Niran is too much of a hot-tempered person to even have a normal, pleasant conversation, anyway.

Celia thought for a moment, then held out her hand to the small girl. "I think I better go outside during this... questioning. Want to come with?"

[Konji]

Konrad stood up. "Can I come with you Celia? I am not interested in anything that is done in cold blood."

[gamer10]

Cold blood! What are they going on about?

Niran watched as they left.

Then bent closer to the slaver.

"How the hell did you know?!"

------------
"Know what . . oh your name. I should know shouldn't I, I used to own you. Surprise really that I still recognize you, it's your eyes no doubt."
-----------------
"Own me? I grew up in Skingrad, how the hell is this possible."
----------------
"I dumped you there, couldn't feed you anymore. I managed to sell your parents but not you. No one wanted a crying helpless baby who'd only be a lot of work."
----------------
"My parents are dead you honoured user!"
----------------
"Oh they probably are now, sold them to a rough fellow."
----------------
"Your a damned liar! I don't know how the hell you found my name, but -damn it I don't need to talk to you further."

Niran got up and went to the cave door, opening it to let the others back in.

Confusion was apparent on his face.

[MerGirl]

Outside, Celia noticed the door open behind her and turned around, anticipitating the worse. Niran was in the doorway, a strange expression on his face.

Curious, she asked, "So, how was your conversation? Er, anything wrong?"

[gamer10]

"Nothing, but I think we have a moron tied up in the cave." Niran said walking back down to where he was and sitting against the wall a few feet away, keeping watch, and thinking. . . .

[Kuukulgur]

Shadow stood up. He said things that he felt were right, but wich he could have never thought would belong to him.
"I have no idea who is this Serene you speak of or what are you all up to, but I'm going to help as much as I can. We should move quickly. The mage seems to be a powerful opponent, much more powerful than myself. The only way to deal with those more powerful is to be faster. If speed and cunning are on our side, we might yet stand a chance to free Megil."

[Wolfie]

"I know where the mage is, but he keeps his prisoners in some kind of extra-dimensional cell. He's the only one who knows how to access it."

[gamer10]

"Celia you asked me earlier where I grew up, what about you?" Niran asked.

[BobV]

Anthanes grinned at the tied slaver.

"Now, you should give me a VERY good reason not to deliver you to Boethiah, cur. I really hate slavers, you know."

He unsheathed his swords slowly.

[gamer10]

The slaver grinned at the half-dunmer.

"Shut yer trap, ugly honoured user. If I weren't tied I'd teach you a lesson or two."

The man spit at Anthanes.

(OOC: Kill him, it'll add to the plot. )

[BobV]

"Oh, be still, fool. I doubt you are able to even hit anything beyond young girls, no? Or are you just too afraid?"

[gamer10]

"Untie these ropes and we can have a fair fight, or are ya scared of me."

[BobV]

"I've seen more frightening things in old chamberpots. Is there a purpose to your rather unoriginal taunts? I tire of this, you know."

[gamer10]

"Go to Oblivion ya stupid dunmer, yer a race of scum. "

[BobV]

"Oh? I am only half-dunmer, fool, and you're one of those providing the race of scum with slaves. Does that make you any better? Does it?!"
