Demon's Uprising RP 001 - Playground Options

[Aki]

Aki frowned, at both of the news. While he hadn't exactly been too keen on a commando style raid of the Valpyre island, finding out some creature had massacred one of his Guildhalls was very unsettling.

"How the hamster did it get into Balmora, and into my Guildhall?" Wayn asked, grimacing.

[KingofSyria]

Valentine felt kind of dumb. Clearly he was not as motivated as these people, nor as informed. But informed or motivated be damned, he was still loyal. "I have little feeling for adventure, Ranius. I will follow you to the ends of the earth, but I advise you against this man in this matter. Duty and Order are the things of saints, and right now we have been ordered that it is our duty to return to Mournhold. If I were you, I would strike this man for suggesting we defy authority. I do this not, because I know he would probably fight back. Beyond that, as I was saying, though, it is our order by the Duke of these lands to return to Mournhold. I say we follow orders."

AS Vealon was coming back from Ebonheart he was thinking about a plan to get rid of the Silver men. After he was walking for awhile and got attacked by a few monsters, he remembered that HE had a mark in his room. Once he got back he ran into the confrence room and started talking about mics stuff. After a while he said to one of the fighter's guild member's


I'm off to the Lizard's Head tavern to get a drink, or two." As he left he visted Channler and Davion's rooms and gave them some potions along with a note that said,

"use these if you need them"
Vealon

then he left half-hoping someone would come to talk me out of It but then again, he was wishing that he never got into this by seeing what was going on that first night......

[davion]

Davion climbed out of bed, and went after Vealon, leaving Channler to get some rest.

"Vealon, you need to stay, Channler is going to need you by his side. See Channler was poisoned but i did a ritual to draw the poison into my body. It wasn't until i was in hell did i realize that this poison can never be cured, and that i am dieing, and won't live for much longer. Follow me into the conference room before Aki and the others leave." Davion tells Vealon, holding his stomach then turns and walks into the conference room.

Once in the conference room, he slams his fist on the round table to draw everysones attension, and as the others turn and walk back to the table Davion says,

"We need to do a sneak attack, we're going to have to go in from the back. Granted, we can't do that without a decoy or else we will be spotted on sight, that's where I come in." Davion goes silent, reading the emotions on the adventurers faces, all were mixed emotions, and continues to say after a brief silence,

"I have lead a good life, but i know i am going to be cast down to the Demon World once i die, because that is what this poison does, it doesn't just poison the body, it infects the soul also and damnes it to hell. So here is what i propose we do." Davion says then adjusts his stance and continues,

"Aki, you will take the rest of the adventurers and go around to the back entrance. When i was in the underworld, i had a vision of this islands layout, i drew a map a few hours ago and i marked the best possable sneak entrances and the front gate." Davion points out to Aki the route they will take to get in the back then continues,

"I will be the decoy, I will go in through the front and draw their attension to me, makeing it almost impossable for you guys to get spoted. Two minutes after i have made my assault on the front gate, you guys will get in the boats and go to the back door i have marked down. It's a sewer entrance but it's the fastest way to the core of the island. I expect the main guy of the Valpyre will be somewhere in there." Davion draws the entrance lines from where they would be departing to the back of the island,

"It is imperative that i go alone. I am going to die within the next week, so it needs to be sooner than that when we launch our assault. You guys will have to stay as close to the island as you can so your not to be seen. If there are any questions, if your unsure about any of this or appose to the idea, speak now." Davion finishes up, looking around the silent room.

[Soulseeker3.0]

Vealon stares at Davion, silently, horrified at what he knows what must be done to save the world of Vvardenfell. He trys to speak but no words come out. So all he could do is nod, and goes to get all of his stuff. then when no one was looking he lifted his bead apulled out his last bottle of cryodillic (ok I know it's spelt wrong) brandy.Vealon feels happy as the liquid drys his throught, as he ponders what to do while they wait for Davion to get into position. He decids to go and wait 'till Channler wakes up, and to "feed" him a few restor fatique and health potions. as he waits he doesn't do or say much, thou Channler does moaned afew times. SO vealon waits untill one of two things happens, He gets called to lead on the boat, or hopefull, Channler wakes up.

***Darn it Davion I wanted to get out of this whole momment of presser thing lol***

[Sinder Velvin]

Each member of House Krellos wears a special golden amulet which has the letter "K" on it. The Archmaster may, at any time, make the amulet of a House Krellos member glow with a green light, showing the fact that he desires to speak with that member.

Zerath's amulet started to glow and he was summoned to the Archmaster. Once in the headquarters of House Krellos, Midave Vendal spoke to him.

"Have you gotten rid of those adventurers?" he asked and awaited a reply.

[Demon]

Kalloros enetered Vornac's room and with a smile, sat himself on a chair beside his bed.
"I thank you, my friend, for saving me, for without your help I'm sure I would have had to join those b*stards for I couldn't think of a way to escape. I belive the dark underlord was a Necromancer and had powerful summoning powers as well, that must have been why he so easily killed the fighters guild members. After you passed out he disapeared so your arrows must have hurt him quite a lot." The assassin paused for a moment and then exclaimed, "damn that's a hell of a nice bow you've got there friend. Where did you get it?"

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac

Vornac looked up at Kalloros smiling and happy to see that he was ok... Still holding on his wound. And he spoke out;

"The bow is from one of the first Guildmasters of Hlaalu. Heard to be a servant of Hlaalu hundreds of years back. The bow was made to protect the people of Morrowind and Hlaalu. And has been carried by all the Grandmasters of Hlaalu. After the Hlaalu Council was attacked and the Grandmaster killed I took the Bow. I was hoping it would help some people... But is everything ok with u, that Necromancer had some powerful magic in his sleeves, sure ur OK?" he nodded while smiling to Kalloros... He looked at his bow that was on his bed and the quiver with 49 arrows. In it...
"It was made to kill with one single shot, but what was that... The Necromancer, I dont know. But I had a feeling it was only somekind of Illusion, that it really wasn't there. But still some of the creature were in that room. Was it the leader... of the Valpyres u think? A Daedra...?" Vornac was almost unsure of what he was thinking of. In his years, he had studied Necromancy and Black Magic of Morrowind. But, he never thought creatures like that. That possesed such power would come to the mortal world. He closed his eyes before looking up at Kalloros again.
"Hmm, but what has happend here. Have u been here a while, whats the newest news of the Island and all that?" he said to Kalloros curious...

Zareth

Zerath was looking at Vendal, knowing that he didn't know much yet of the adventurers disission. So he said;

"My master, I'm sorry to say that I dont know. I said to Ranius that he was summoned to Cyrodiil City and that no one of the adventurers was alowed to attack because they were not in the Imperial Legion or Temple. And of course damn outlanders. Ranius, he is naiv. He is easy to turn, just like his friend Valentine. That will mostly follow him to Cyrodiil City... I most say its bad news to..." Zerath looked down... "But this Dunmer, Vornac has been located... In Vivec Arena. And I told Ranius he was summoned to Mournholm, but before u get angry my master I most say he is wounded. After meeting a Daedra from the Underworld he got almost killed and his guard is open for a strike by assassins, even as he is with the others... One, just one strike with a assassins blade he would be dying. But its a great risk, maybe." he smiled evil, while taking a step back to await Archmaster Vendals answer...

The Archmaster approached his loyal servant and spoke to him.

"No. If they abandon their quest, I shall have no quarrel with them. But if they try to get to the island of our allies, have them imprisoned. You know very well that they will have to take a boat from Ebonheart if they want to get there. If there are any problems with capturing them or if they escape from your custody, my assassin will kill them. By the way, one more thing. Do not even hint at the fact that you are not the real Duke. Do not write about your orders in any journal or diary of yours. No one except me, you and my second in command know that you are a shapeshifter pretending to be Duke and I want to keep things this way. Should those adventurers find out who you truly are, great problems will arise. And I might just have to dispose of your services", said Vendal and raised his sword in the air menancingly. "But I have faith in you. And in your discretion. Go now and do what you must do", the Archmaster concluded.

[Demon]

Kalloros paused for a minute, thinking deeply.
"I am not certain," the assassin began, "but I was studying both house Krellos and the Valpyre for several days before the draemora attacked me and I believe that there is a certain link between these two factions. A link, which may result in a declaration of alliance between the two. And again it is only a hunch, but I believe that the intentions of this alliance would not be in the rest of Vaardenfell's best interests. When you are ready my friend, I would like to seek out Aki and his band of followers and try to stop the Valpyre."

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac

He stares at Kalloros before saying;
"Well Ok, then we attack tonight. Its still midday now, so lets say that near midnight we leave for Ebonheart getting some boats. Then we leave for the Island. I heard, Davion would be our destraction... I wish him good luck. Tell Aki and his men to gather and and start preapering for battle. I dont want to attack them, lets stay as long as we can on the Island without getting into conflict... I dont want to lead my people into war this early" Vornac replied to Kalloros, he reached for his cloak and cloth and start dressing up. Taking a extra little breastplate of Ebony with fine leather under to protect his wound while still drinking some healing potions.

He took on his cloak, grabbed his sword and took the bow and the quiver in his hands. Tok a gentle touch on his wound before going into the Guildhall to see Aki and his followers. Channler and Davion was talking to Vealon. And everybuddy was looking on Davion.

"Davion... I know that... You might die. But dont fall now, without knowing for sure. I know a witch doctor, on the mainland. Your a great warrior and I dont like u to die as a hero. I want u to leave, I want u and Channler to leave to the mainland to a little village called Savannah, its a camp with a great witch doctor. It will take u atleast 3 days from here to reach him.

Drink much Healing Potions, and stay as calm as u can. Tell him I sent u and tell him what poision u have gotten. Atleast give it a try, u are already a hero and dont need to die for our cause. I want all to gather in Ebonheart by midnight. Travel light with only whats necassery. We might need to swim, if we cant get close enough to the Island" Vornac said with everyones attention... He looked up, at the Guildhall roof.

"I'm the only one here, that really has a greater cause in this war. I will make a faction. We will all join, Sacred Protecters I will call it. With my approval and from the Grandmaster Sheira of Hlaalu we will make it a defenind stand for House of Hlaalu. I hope that is a good enough reason for u all to fight, now Vivec or the Duke can leave u outside of this battle..." Vornac smiles, before taking up his sword and putting it on the table...
"Are u with me...?"

[Aki]

Aki shrugged. "Why is it sacred protectors though? I doubt theres anything sacred about anyone here, er, no offense of course," he said. "The Protectors would be satisfactory...or sumthin'," Wayn added in.

The Morag Tong members, meanwhile, Walked by, not paying any attention to everyone, they headed to the shrine to Mephala, which now had a proper statue of the Webspinner herself. The Statue depicted a four armed goddess, holding a spider web between her four hands, weaving the web.

Her hands were jet black.

The Morag Tong were a cult and a Assassins guild, and they beleived their Goddess, Mephala growed greater with every murder in her name. The greater the person, the more power attained. Aki grined. "I think we could enlist some help..." he said, staring at the statue of Black Hands Mephala.

[Soulseeker3.0]

***sinder look in the planing post for my answer to your question***

Vealon thought over the proposal. A guild for him to join, and mabey even be a ranking officer. So he signed right up "hey Vornac, put my name on the list. we wont have to report to the duke, king, or vivec, right? Would we even have to report to aneone? Save, the great house Hlaalu?" So many questions circled in his head. Would we be targeted by the empire? Would we be condider "illegal" like the Comma Tong? or would we just be unwanted like the Theives guild I and, if i'm thinking correctially, Voranac were in and the Morag Tong?but that wasn't to think of now, now that I'm joining
So he added another comment, "I join, as long as I have a decent position, not just the water boy, but I also what to finish this. We got into this and by the looks of things the Valpyre wont leave us alone untill we rid the world of them." He sat down as he waited for an answer as he gave Channler afew more potions for his health.

edit:missunderstood Fuzzy Kight's post.

[davion]

"No" Davion said to Vornac. "I cannot abondon my duties, you all need me to create the distraction. I would much rather die in combat than in a bed withering away from a poison. If this attack is a sucess i will go visit your witch doctor." Davion says again, still looking at Vornac.

"I don't see the need to make a faction, after this assault is over, we will just go back to our normal lives most likely anyways, so what's the point?" Davion said then starts to caugh.

"But like Aki said, everyone here has some dirt on them, so 'sacred' isn't the best word to use, even if we made a faction." Davion tells the room.

"We launch at midnight, so i suggest that we spend our remaining time visiting our families, lovers, children. The last of my family died when the Valpyre killed my father, Fyr, so i will be here in my room, resting until midnight." Davion continued to tell everyone.

As i am the decoy, i will stay here in Vivec and use my walk on water spell and assault the front. Once you see me running on the water, that is the signal to start your attack." Davion continues, "If there is something you want to speak to me about, see me in my room, if not, i will see you on the island. Good day men." Davion then turns and walks into his room.

-----------

Once in his room Davion prepares a ceremonial rite that he learned from the Nerevarine almost 51 years ago. Placing the candles in a circle, Davion recites some passages he learned from the Nerevarine then fades into a blackend room.

A tall Daedra woman walks out of the shadows and greets Davion and Davion says to her,

"Azura, i have come to you for guidence and with questions. First off; Can this poison be cured? I thought the only person that carried the remedy to it, my father, was murdered, keeping the secret to the poisons cure locked away in his mind?" Davion asks Azura, giving it a room of pause for her to speak with an answer.

"There is another person that can cure the disease, but you know as well as i do that you have a day, two tops. I have a question for you; Knowing that you only had a day or two left until the poison killed you, why did you lie to the other adventurers?" Azura pauses.

"Honestly, i didn't want to put any unwanted burdon on them, they are weighed down enough as it is, they i don't want to burdon them by having to watch over me every step of the way." Davion says, putting his head down in shame.

"Arrogance is a curse, Davion. What is your other question?" Azura says, laying it into Davion even more.

"My second question is; How come the gods haven't done anything about this?" Davion asks curious.

"This is not our place to intervine, this is a threat on Tamriel, and thus the people of Tamriel have to band togeather to eleminate this new threat." Azura reasures Davion.

"Okay, final question; I am not going to be allowed into Heaven when i die, huh?" Davion asks, heart racing, blood boiling.

"No." Azura says, this comming as no suprise to Davion but he had hoped for a better answer. "Your soul has been infected, it is now forever bound to the underworld. I am sorry I cannot do anything for your soul. Yes, you made the choice to sacrifice your life for your friend Channler, but your soul has been tainted, thus causing a great threat to my kingdom. Go now Davion and get rest, it's getting late." Azura tells Davion then in a blinding light, vanishes, and Davion reawakes in his room.

Davion staggers to his feet, woozy from the transistion from the spirit world to the world of the living, the fact he was poisoned didn't help anything either.

Davion lets out a sigh then falls on his bed to sleep. The last thought going through his head was, 'Wake up at 11' then he passes out.

[KingofSyria]

Wow, it's clear that not only are the former ties to deep for me, but you guys have much more time than I do. I don't think I can be in this for now, at least. So, with that, Valentine will go pout in a cave until I can get back on in force, I suppose.

LOL :rofl:

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac

He knew, that 'Sacred' well it was to go over the line for these people. He laughed a little bit...
"Well Ok, The Protectors, I mean this because that. The Temple or even the Empire can put us in for the Free War. And I dont want that to happend, but I guess I wont. Because I'm soon to become the Grandmaster of Hlaalu. So lets forget about the factions then..." he looks around...
"Now, lets brief the plan... Should we stick together or what. I thought that Davion, if u will u can be the discration. I thought that we take one boats. None for Davion and we other in the boat. We sneak into the sewers after his discraction. He will try to get a perimeter of a area we should spy on... If anythings goes wrong we meet here. I would like to have two teams. We gather more information then in a short periode. If Aki and your men go. And me, Vealon, Channler and maybe Ranius and Valentine if ur in takes another spot. We go to our own point where we find as much info as we can before returning to the sewer entrance every Midnight. After atleast two or three days we leave the Island..." Vornac said... He was hoping they would agree on making two teams to get more information. He packed his gear in a little sack hanging on the left side, with the quiver and his bow in his right hand. His sword on the table... He still had much on his mind, confused and all that...

"Oh yeah... Kalloros, I would like u to... Well be our scout almost leader of this. I mean that u go with me. You will go into the sewers first if u have no problems. Your assassin skills could come to good use with spying and studing the enemy" he said to Kalloros...

"Its still quite a while to Midnight, and as u know I'm very wounded. But anyway. Its me and Vealons plan, so I will go first onto the Island and last of the Island..." Vornac said before grabbing his wound... and walking into his room...

[Demon]

Kalloros crouched low listening to the captain and the Dunmer talking aboard the ship. The assassin had no great love for Ebonheart but was determined to be part of this foolhardy plan that would lead him deep into the heart of Morania's layer. He had no reason to kill the Valpyre godess but he wanted to find out who was behind these attacks and what their reasoning was and he had a funny feeling that the Valpyre were behind them. Suddenly, the sound of devilish laughter cut through his thoughts.
"Her highness would be most pleased that we have brought her all of the infedels seeking her death." The captain said with an evil grin.
"Yes, Barus, she will be most pleased. I have already informed her of their coming and how they intend to carry out their... intentions." Both men gave a sickening laugh once again and suddenly Kalloros fired a crossbow bolt into Barus's forehead. The other one whirled round only to have his throat slashed open. The assassin lept forward and drove one of his long knives into his heart. Before he could hide the bodies footfalls sounded from behind him.

[Sinder Velvin]

Bradas Aralas, the assassin of Midave Vendal, had been sneaking around the adventurers undetected, trying to learn as much as possible about their plans. It seemed as if the Valpyres intended to lure the adventurers to their island to finish them off, so Bradas did not know what to do. His master had ordered him to kill the heroes if they tried to assault the island, but the assault seemed like suicide anyway. They could and would not survive in such a dangerous place all by themselves. He teleported himself to his master to receive counsel from him.

"Greetings, my lord", Bradas said.

"You have returned, I see. What has transpired?" Midave asked his assassin.

"The adventurers will try to assault the island. The Valpyres want them to come to their island, because what the adventurers are trying to pull off is clearly suicide. Should I kill them anyway?" the assassin asked.

"The Valpyres want them dead, then. These heroes interfered with the Valpyres' scouting and assassination operations, yes?" Midave asked his servant.

"Yes. They did. Perhaps that is why the Valpyres want them to die", Bradas replied.

"I do not know if they would be foolish enough to attack the island without the necessary artifacts to defeat the Valpyres. I believe that they know how to defeat Morania and her hosts; otherwise they would not bother to risk their lives so. I know of only one artifact that can possibly defeat Morania, an artifact which I know is far from the eyes of mortal men, but perhaps they have something else equally powerful that they will use against the godess. I don't want them dead. Go quickly to Zerath, the false Duke, and tell him to send his Imperial ships to intercept the adventurers. I want them to be thrown in prison, and then taken here for interrogation. I want to find out what they know. I want to find out what the other way of defeating Morana is. And I will interrogate them myself. Go, now, to Zerath and let him know of the adventurers' plans. And make sure that they, the adventurers, do not escape. And they will certainly not escape, as those Imperial ships are the fastest ships on this side of Morrowind. Farewell, and good luck, my insidious servant", Midave spoke.

Bradas teleported himself to his former position, after which he stealthly and quickly found his way into the Duke's chambers. There, he told Zerath about Midave's orders.

"Do not fail him", Bradas told the Duke. "He does not tolerate failures, and if you fail him, he will ask me to kill you. If, however, you succeed, you will certainly be promoted to a higher position in House Krellos", said Bradas.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Zerath

He knew that he was in deep trouble if Archmaster Vendal didn't get it was he want, atleast he would fail. To intercept the adventurers, he think that seemed like a last option. Ranius he thought, that naiv man. He could give me the information that I would want... He called on the two Royal Guards, sending them to summon Knight Errant Ranius...

He came not long after, just telling the adventurers in Morag Tong he would soon return. And that he didn't want to leave for Cyrodiil City if they were going to attack...
"Hello there Knight Errant... I told u to take a boat to the mainland and head for Cyrodiil. But insted I find u there, in Morag Tong with the adventureres and the outlanders!" he screamed out at Ranius...

"Lord Vivec has thought this over, and we want to hear the adventurers plans. Of this attack we would really need some information about how they are going to defeat the Valpure and Morania... How can they attack the Island with no army..." Zerath said to Ranius

"Ohh, my lord. You most have misunderstod. They are not going to attack at all... They are going to infiltrate and spy on their army. Thats all. They already have a plan, a adventurer named Davion is going to sett of a destraction, while the rest of them sneak in to the sewers from behinde. Its a little opening in the south that they are going to get in... Ehm, from there they will spy in a couple of days before returning during the night..." Knight Errant Ranius said...

Zerath, thought about it. He just stood there thinking, before going off to his bed. Starting to take of his armour as he usally weared.. Ranius could see his amulet. But nothing special about it, a normal amulet with a "K" on it...

"Exucse me my Lord. But your amulet, what does that "K" stand for..." he asked...
"Ohh haha, well Knight Errant Ranius... Its a amulet from a dear friend I met on the Mainland, in Mournholm. He gave me this amulet to protect me, his name was last name was Kaleth. And it had been passed over for generations... He gave me it, it is powerfull enchanted. Sometimes it glows, that means threat is near..." Zerath said, while he took it of and laying on the table by the bed. He looked back at Ranius. Thought it wasn't a real danger, they had no way to kill Morania. And the Valpyres would kill them on the site...

"Well... I guess I dont see much harm in that, I will let them infiltrate on their own lives. May the came home alive, if its succesfull you will be promoted to Brigadier General of the Morrowind Imperial Legion Ranius, but remember if something goes wrong its on you and your families expence. Even the adventurers will have a visit by my Guards. But still yet, I'm against this infiltration without our approval..." he walked up to Ranius, taking him on the shoulder...

"Leave now, and dont come here until their mission is done... When do they leave?" Zerath said...
"Tonight, at midnight they will meet here on the Ebonheart Docks, bye my lord..." Ranius said and went of without knowing what he just had done... Zerath locked the door, and he teleported himself to Midave Vendal, going up to his throne.

"My Archmaster Vendal, I have good news. They band of adventurers are not going to attack, they dont even have a weapon or artifact against Morania. They are just going to spy on their army, if the Valpyres attack them on the Island they wont get any information and would have a great risk of beeing attacked or mortaly wounded making them simple targets for a counter attack by your assassins... They will leave tonight, at midnight... I thought we could contact the Valpyres, telling them that a decoy will attack from the north while they sneak in from behinde and into the sewers... Thats all I got out of him my master..." Zerath said, and bow down waiting for a answer... He hoped Vendal would be glad for these news. The adventurers cant surivive more then two attacks, one from Morania and his/her (?) Valpyres and a counter attack if possible by our well trained assassins... He smiled...

Vornac

Vornac approched Kalloros on the Ebonheart Docks... He was already on a boat. He looked up at him, seeing nothing but his back.
"So my friend... Its still a little while to midnight, is the captain ready to take us off. I guess the others soon will come. Its a dangerous mission, but I hope we will do well..." Vornac said while leaning against the boat, holding his bow already with a arrow on it, looked like he wasn't really safe around at the night. Not atleast without knowing of any was listning on them or even planning to attack them again, like the Valpyre...
