Demon's Uprising RP 001 - Playground Options

[Sinder Velvin]

Bradas had made the mistake of hesitating. The three adventurers had been right in front of him, and yet he had not captured them. He did not know what was wrong... Perhaps he felt pity for these adventurers, despite the fact that he had been raised as a cold and remorseless killer? Would he let them kill themselves? He could not join them in their quest of foolish self-destruction, but he knew that they would be better off in the hands of House Krellos than dead, on an island full of devilish beings, with no one to even bury their bodies.

Unsure of what to do, he waited several minutes, thinking of what he should do next, after which he heard the sounds of battle and decided to capture the adventurers. He walked through the darkness, using only his five senses to guide him, eventually seeing Vornac the Dunmer in a fight with one of the devilish creatures living on that island. Kalloros and Vealon came to Vornac's aid, but found Vornac nearly dead. Kalloros took a scroll of teleportation and prepared to teleport himself and his two friends back to Vivec City. But Bradas aimed his bow at Vornac.

"Put the scroll down. Now. Or I shall kill your wounded friend with one poisoned arrow, and not even the gods will be able to bring him back from the dead", Bradas told Kalloros. "Trust me on this: it is better to be in a prison than in the cold clutches of death", he added.

Meanwhile, in the House Krellos stronghold of Molagmora, Midave Vendal was a very upset Dunmer.

"You have failed me, Zerath. Are your words as sweet as your blade is swift? Incompetent fool... Kneel before me and beg for forgiveness, or I shall kill you like a dog!"

[Fuzzy Knight]

Zerath

He looked up at Vendal, he was pissed off. He knew that he might stay alive, but for what. Vendal wouldn't just let him go by asking for forgivness... He closed his eyes, and then looked up at Vendal.
"I ask for forgivness... but what will u do with my Archmaster Vendal, remember. I'm a assassin, my charismatic abilities cant work everytime. Its not my fault the Imperial Legion are such wimps as they are, but I thought about summoning the last 5 of the Her Hands High Ordinators to aid your assassin in capturning these adventurers, or maybe turn them over to your House..." he said and awaited a answer from Archmaster Vendal...

Midave looked at Zerath and sighed.

"I will not hurt you, Zerath. But to me, you have lost your honor. If you wish to regain it, you shall have to once again try to capture the adventurers. Use whatever it takes. And if you capture them, I shall forgive you. But if you fail again, be prepared to say your prayers... Now go, and do not return until you have them captured", Midave told Zerath.

[jonajosa]

Jonajosa sat on the wrecked boats egde waiting for Kalloros to appear.
"Where is he?" Jonajosa said to himself. "He should have been here already.That stupid sevant must not know how to deliver a message."

Jonajosa looked at the bridge and then at the trees across the river and nodded. The assassins were waiting an ready.

[Demon]

Kalloros tried desparately to calm himself, for he knew that if he lost control to the panic that was threatening to overwhelm him both him and Vornac would die. Breathing deeply he thought about how he should handle the situation. He was not true friends with Vornac, for he vowed long ago that he would never make the mistake in placing his utter trust and friendship in another only to be brutally betrayed. But still, he liked the Dunmer and would feel terrible if he just let him die and burn in the fires of eternity. But he also knew that the leaders of house Krellos would likely torture and kill them if they were to be captured. Seeing only one acceptable way out of this he whispered to Vornac,
"Goodbye my friend." He quickly read the incantation on the scroll while holding it to Vornac. Bradas let out a hiss of anger and fired his arrow, but it was too late for Vornac was transported back to Morrowind. Slowly, Kalloros drew his blades and tried to smile, despite the harrowing fear flooding his veins due to realization of his impending death.
"Now..." Kalloros said looking at the score of Valpyre surrounding him, "let me show you how a REAL callous disagreeable person kills."

edit: don't turn the the 'b word' back into 'honoured user' again please. That's just childish and immature.

Staff Member's Note: It was put in the autocensor because we figured that, if it would be used, it would be used in insults mostly. I hope you won't mind too much if I change it to "disagreeable person".

[Soulseeker3.0]

Vealon just saw Vornac get teleported from Danger by Kalloros, and then they were sarrounded by a score of Valpyre and Vealon knew they were probebly were going to die. The thing that mostly sucked was that we weren't going to be known as heros but as traitors and criminals. The beasts just kept showing up by the pair and by then two or three score had come and then, finnaly, it seemed as thou the valpyre stopped coming. Vealon knew they had a very slim chance to survive, so He thought that it would be best to flee and fight another day, they had, after all, killed one of the big baddies. So Vealon saod to Kalloros, "hey Kalloros, catch!" as he threw his amulet of divine intervention to him.after he threw the amulet, he got his own ring ready, just in case.

***or were did you teleport vornac???***

[Demon]

Kalloros jammed the amulet onto his hand frantically and activated it. Just before he got transported by the divine intervention spell imbued in the amulet one of the Valpyre fired an arrow into his chest narrowly missing his lungs. Screaming in agony, Kalloros hurled a throwing knife at Bradas and screamed at Vealon to activate his ring. Then all was lost in a haze of blurring colours and he found himself outside Vivec temple.

edit: I don't know where Vornac got tranported to, he will have to decide for himself.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac

Vornac got teleported to the Vivec Arena in the Guildhall. It was emty as the Guild members had walked out to see the attack on the Island. Vornac, was starting to get healed by his amulet. His eyes opening slowly, the light burned in his eyes... He closed them, thought all his friends was dead. And he was very weak, he had no chance to even fight off a little boy now. He was too weak, it felt like it was his first time he used his muscles. He looked up at the pictures in the roof of the Guildhall, of great assassins and Grandmasters. But then he heard the trap door opening, without knowing who it was he reached for his sword.. But he blacked out and it went dark!

(OOC: Because Vealon and Kalloros used another kind of teleport, u can come to the Vivec Temple. And Bradas is now in the Guildhall ready to capture Vornac. Because he needs to capture him... Ok?)

[Soulseeker3.0]

All went chaotic as the assasin and the Valpyre attacked, Vealon thought he heard Kolloros yell at him to activate his ring but he wasn't sure, so he hoped for the best and he activated the ring, taking a beast out with one upward motion as the assasin came down on his arm, losing his blade, and then vanishing into mid air. He appered in the Guild hall, with a smirking assasin hanging on his arm. Oh great, he thought. How was he going to explane this to the others? "oh he foolowed he home, can we keep it?" no I'm scruged and then at that moment the elf attacked and tied Vealon to the bed.

***ok, I got the assasin into the guildhall, If anyone has any good objections to this act, I'll change my post. and Deamon, I think you should find yourself outside of vivec temple, i would think***

Bradas' rage had made him attack the adventurers even though there had been Valpyres all around. The Valpyres did not attack him when they say this, and they simply welcomed his aid... But although he had, through a strange twist of fate, been able to capture Vealon, he had not been able to capture Kalloros. The enemy assassin had single-handedly foiled his plans, and for this Bradas vowed to take revenge.

After he tied Vealon to the bed, completely immobilizing him, he punched the Breton in the face many times, eventually making the wounded Vampire Hunter lose consciousness. He then walked through the Morag Tong headquarters, to see if there were any Morag Tong members around. He found only a few, and he killed them all with his bow. Apparently, the Morag Tong assassins were somewhere else. After walking around for a while, Bradas managed to find the very wounded Vornac, who he hit over the head, making him lose consciousness as well. He then picked up Vornac's body and held it on his left shoulder, after which he went to Vealon, untied him, and picked up his body as well, holding it on his right shoulder. The huge weight that he had to carry made Bradas unable to sneak, so he had to drink a potent potion of chameleon, after which he cast a fortify strength spell on himself.

He then cast Recall on himself, and was taken to Ebonheart, where he threw himself in the water and swam towards the underwater entrance to the caves below Ebonheart, his little hideout. Once there, he put the bodies on the cave floor and tied them, after which he went to the Duke's chambers. His chameleon spell had already expired by now.

The guards at the castle knew him, as they had seen him speak with the Duke before. Bradas had no problems getting to Zerath.

"Hello, Zerath. You and I... Have certain matters to discuss", he said. "I see you alive, even though you obviously failed. Did the Archmaster take mercy on you?" he asked and awaited an answer.

OOC: Please don't do anything with Vornac or Vealon until Fuzzy Knights replies as Zerath and I reply to his reply.

[Soulseeker3.0]

***lol owwww, in the face till he was knoced out? dang that must-of hurt***

[Fuzzy Knight]

Zerath

He looked at Bradas... Before replying;
"Well... He thought that there was no reason to kill as I am the fals Duke."

[Channler]

Channler awoke drenched in his sweat. "Whaa- Where am I!?" He muttered. The last thing he remebered was feeling a little dizzy and laying down. "How long ago was that, did I miss everything!?" Channler started saying aloud as if talking to someone that wasn't there.
"Shhh.. You've been uncouncious(SP?) for a little over a day now." Someone whispered into his ear, "Rest and regain your strength, I forsee that you will need it." The lady muttered something and Channler slowly drifted back into his slumber again...

A few hours later...

Channler found a piece of paper and a ink pen in the drawer next to his bed and started writing. He wrote about the events of his journey insofar, about the fatefull encounter with the carrier bird, the first "friends" he met in Vvardenfell, the first Valpyre attack he experienced, the beautiful inn keeper in Balmora, and Davion.. Davion seemed like a brother to Channler. Channler layed down the pen after what had seemed several hours of writing and went back to sleep...

"Chhannnlller!... Look what you've done to me!!... The blood of your father, spilt all over your hands!... I only wanted what was best for you.. Your skills shouldn't of been waisted, but you chose your path, and now you must follow it!" A voice sounded through Channler's head
A imaginary scenery materialized in Channler's mind. It was a warm summer day, the sun shining bright after a refreshing morning shower. The hedges along the building were well kept, as if someones job was to just keep up them. The imperial styled building looked as grand as ever, strong and magestic like the Imperial Dragon. And there sat a boy, roughly 15 or 16 years old, pacing back and forth. Something seemed to be racing in his mind, the scene looked so familiar to Channler, but he hadn't an idea why. Then a tall, strong and handsome man walked in from the archway. Channler instantly knew why it seemed so familiar, the man was his father... and the boy was.. him. Channler didn't have to replay the memory in his head, for he knew what was to happen.. The man intently listened to what the younger Channler had to say. And then abruptly slapped him across the face. The boy stood still, he took this punishment in the Imperial Acedemy. Then his father punched him in the gut, and kicked him when he fell to the ground. The man had been drinking, you could almost taste it off his breath. He picked Channler up by the neck and seemingly was trying to kill him, Channler was forced to react. There his father lay on the ground by his feet. He killed his father, the blood of his kin was on his hands.. The Imperial Law had been looking for him ever since... This was not the first time Channler had a dream similiar to this. It hurt him, and along with the posion, was effectivly crippling him.

Channler awoke instantly after the dream ended, strapped on his armor that he got from Davion, and headed out the door. He wandered the hallways for a while but to his horror all he saw were dead body's... Even the body of the kind lady that had been caring for him. Furious he grabbed his weapon and stormed out of the Vivec Canton searching for anyone he new. The magical ability's he possesed would be known now.. and he pity'd the fool that had to experience the might of it...

[davion]

Davion found himself once again falling through the same abyss as last time he journied to hell.

Davion lay motionless on the hot rock, unable to see for several minutes, until a figure walks out of the shadows, a amulet shining in his hands.

"So kid, your back for good this time." The demon says to Davion, chuckling.

"Bite me . ." Davion replies, getting to his feet.

"Ho ho ho, fiesty for dieing a second time are we?" the demon exclaims. As Davion stands up and looks around the room, the demon king places the amulet of House Krellos around his kneck, and Davion jumps back and says, while trying to pull it off,

"What the hell is this?"

"It is a mark of the Valpyres, your new family. It shows to all that you are a Special Elite in my servaces. When you're summoned, it glows green telling you to come speak to me." The Demon King exclaims, pointing at the amulet then pointing at himself.

The Demon King grabs Davion by the kneck and throws him into a little room full of hate and blackness. There Davion stayed for what seemed like weeks, forever being taunted by the souls of the people he's killed.

A few days later, Davion amerges from the room, his soul twisted and abused, barely able to keep sanity, the way he was before doesn't seem apparent anymore.

"Davion, my greatest creation, i give you the honor; nay; the privledge, to hunt down your former comrades and strike them down!" The Demon King annoucnes to the room. Then the Demon King opens a portal infront of Davion and signals for him to go in.

"You, my child; Davion, go forth and strike fear into all who live in Tamriel!" The Demon King tells Davion, his voice echoing through the caved room. Davion gives an evil look back at the Demon King, then vanishes.

[Aki]

"Well, that sucked..." Leirah commented. Allimar nodded in agreement. Aki sighed. They were in a cell in the brig of the Imperial Battleships the others had evaded earlier. Aki hadn't been willing to risk getting blown to bits, or if they survived, made an outlaw. No, there was a better way to do this. Besides, it wouldn't be too hard to get out.

All had been stripped of their weapon and armor. But Aki and Wayn were still formidable fighters, and had 'weapons' that couldn't be taken.

"Everyone else is prolly havin' some grand adventure or something..." Wayn said.

"Oh stop whining, the lot of you..." Aki muttered.

[Channler]

Channler knew that the others had left for the island... And left without him. He decided to get a better veiw when he spotted several Imperial Battleships floating a little off the coast near Vivec.

Then a foolish idea ran through Channler's head, "The others must be using Imperial Battleships to cross the water!!" He looked around to see if anyone was listening and then said outloud, "Well maybe I won't sink to bad if I try to swim." At that he plunged into the water..

Even being very late at night Channler expected at least one or two peoples to stand watch, but it seemed as though all were asleep. He crept around tryin not to wake anyone when a glimmer caught his eye. "That looks like Aki's armor" he thought to himself, and when he got closer he saw that Aki and a few others were being held in a cell. Channler ran up to barred door, "Aki, what happened, why are you locked up!?" Aki just put his hand over his face and shook his head looking past Channler..

All of a sudden there was a loud noise, followed by a horrid pain on the back of his head, and then blackness... Channler's last thought was, "Oh no, not this again.."

[davion]

"Halt, do not interfere! These are prisoners of the Imperial Legion! Leave here at once!" One of the guards shouts at Davion.

Davion draws his Dai-Katana from its sheath, turns to face the guard and dematerializes right before the guards eyes.

"Where the hell did he go?!" The gaurd demands to the other guards.

Davion rematerializes behind the closest guard and before the guard could snap around, Davion shoves his Dai-Katana through his spinal collum, the guards blood soaking the blade.

"Get him!" The other guard commands the remaining imperial officers on deck.

Davion smirks then kicks the dead guard off the end of his blade, looking around him. Three guards came at him from the front, two from the back, and one from each side. With lightning speed Davion lunges the Dai-Katana into the belly of the first legion officer then quickly spins around and slices one of the officers behind him stomaches open.

The remaining five officers, unaware of Davions inhuman strength and speed rush him even faster. Davion, with one hand, takes the Dai-Katana and forces it through the chest cavety of the officer on his right then snaps around to face his front and slashes the guard to the left of the other guard across the chest in an upwards motion, sending him flying over the side of the ship, causing a big splash the fly back up on deck.

The officer to Davions' right takes a swing at Davion with his Imperial Longsword the it riccochets off Davions back plate and so Davion boot kicks the guard in the face, causing his nasal bone to go into his brain, killing him.

The remaining officer freaks out and jumps overboard and starts to swim towards ebonheart. Davion walks over to the edge of the boat, mutters something, and launches a spell that sends the paniciy officer into a thousand pieces.

"Heh, pathedic!" Davion mutters to himself before walking to the holding cells.

Once there Davion notices a body that is laying on the floor, the man on the floor being vaugely familiar to Davion. Davion continues over to the cells where Aki and Wayn are being held and busts the lock off.

Davion walks over to Aki, with Aki backing up, and grabs Aki by the throat and slams him agenst the wall, raising his Dai-Katana in his right hand getting ready to slice Akis' skull in half when his head starts to hurt.

Davion releases the grib on Akis' throat and drops his Dai-Katana then grabs his head and says to Aki after struggleing with himself for a few minutes,

"Aki . . . . . . . Get out of here . . . . . . and . . . . . hide from . . . . me!" Davion demands to Aki, noticeing the puzzleing look on his face. "Damnit Aki i said go! Before i change back! Take Channler with you!" Davion demands once again then picks up his sword and dematerializes out of the room.

[Aki]

"Morons..the lot of 'em boss..." Wayn commented. Aki sighed. "So much for that plan..." he muttered. With that, Aki, wayn and the other two fighters guild members began making their way out of the ship. Channler being carried by Leirah. Allimar and Aki armed themselves with the swords of fallen guards.

[Demon]

Kalloros picked himself off his feet and ran to the nearest Gondoller sailor.
"I need to go to the foreign quater as soon as possble." The assassin held out 10 septims and boarded the boat. But almost as soon as he did a black garbed figure grabbed him round the neck and pulled him back. The gondoller grinned and nodded to the attacker. Two more joined him and soon they had had Kalloros gagged and on the boat.
15 Minutes later they arrived in Ebonheart to be greeted by a tall man, who smiled coldly.
"Kalloros, you are an elusive man but this time I'm afraid there is no escaping house Krellos." The man hit the assassin hard over the head with a club, knocking him unconcious.

[Sinder Velvin]

Bradas looked at Zerath.

"I have two of them and will take them to Midave right away. I would have captured three of them, but one got away, teleported to who-knows-where. Look out for him. Try to capture the remaining ones", said Bradas. "I know of the one that you speak of", Zerath said. "He's coming this way right now. Meet him at the docks", he added. "Very well", said Bradas and left the building, after which he quickly went to a wall in Ebonheart in which he had hidden his House Krellos amulet.

He then went to Ebonheart's docks, where he found Kalloros gagged, on a boat. Zerath came behind him (no longer looking like the Duke), after which he went to Kalloros and hit him over the head with a club, bringing him in a state of unconsciousness.

"It was about time that you did something useful", Bradas said.

"Take them to Midave", Zerath told Bradas.

"It was unwise of you to mention House Krellos. Luckily, however, you were not shapeshifted as the Duke", Bradas said.

"It is better this way", Zerath replied, after which Bradas went to Kalloros' unconscious body and picked him up.

"Am I supposed to carry the three adventurers to Midave all by myself?" Bradas asked.

"I cannot leave Ebonheart right now. You know why", Zerath replied.

"Fine, I'll do it myself", Bradas said and carried the body to his hideout. Meanwhile, Zerath went to the guards who had captured Kalloros.

"Good job. I will tell the Duke of your deeds", he said, after which he went to a place devoid of people and changed back into the Duke.

Meanwhile, Bradas swam all the way to his hideout. He drank a strength potion, put the adventurers' bodies on his back and then used the House Krellos amulet to teleport right to Midave. The very moment that Midave saw him, he was pleased.

"You bring me three bodies, all by yourself. I am pleased", Midave said.

"The assassin was captured by the formerly incompetent Zerath", Bradas replied.

"Formerly incompetent? In my eyes, he is still incompetent. Someone wielding as much power as himself should have been able to capture all of the adventurers. But you captured two all by yourself, and were capable of bringing three of them with you. You also reek of incompetence, but not as much as your friend Zerath. Guards, take those three unconscious and throw them in prison. Guard them at all times. Activate the traps as well. They will not escape", the Archmaster said. Bradas dropped the bodies.

"I reek of incompetence?" Bradas asked. "You certainly do, my servant. I expected much more from you. You were my backup, in case Zerath failed to capture the adventurers. And yet you come here with just three adventurers, just two of them having been captured by you", Midave spoke. "I am pleased, but disappointed still", he added. "It would have been difficult capture all of them. These were not mere fools; while they were not prepared to fight the Valpyres, they were slightly dangerous. Not your usual run-of-the-mill adventurers. They didn't know when to give up. Four of them swam to the island", Bradas told his lord. "Three of them were the three that you brought. What of the fourth?" Midave asked. "He is dead. I found his corpse on the island", Bradas replied. "Go back to Ebonheart. Capture the adventurers. Be prepared to return here whenever you must. The amulet can take you here, and your recall spell can take you back there. If I summon you and the amulet glows, you MUST COME AT ONCE! I expect the adventurers to try to escape, but I have dozens of guards and traps as well. For example, there is an entire corridor that will crumble with you if you do not have a House Krellos amulet. If the adventurers try to pass through there, they will fall down to the catacombs, from where escape is virtually impossible. But I doubt that they will ever be able to escape in the first place. The corridor is a last resort, you understand. Now go back to Ebonheart, and if I need you, I shall summon you here", Midave said. Bradas returned to Ebonheart, and Midave went to his guards.

"They are currently our only prisoners, so they shouldn't be hard to supervise. Keep an eye on them. Let me know when any of them wake up. I want to interrogate them myself", Midave told his guards.

Meanwhile, Bradas had returned to Ebonheart.

"Midave is certainly paranoid", he said to himself, after which he sat down on the edge of a wall and sharpened his dagger.

OOC: Fuzzy Knights, sorry for playing as Zerath, but I had to make the different posts fit in. I hate inconsistencies, and I really want none of them. Hope you don't mind.

To advance to the next stage with Vornac, Vealon and Kalloros (the next stage being the interrogation), make a post with your character saying that he has woken up. I will then begin the interrogation of that character. Remember to pretend that you know more than you actually do if you want to find out what Midave knows. Thanks.
