Demon's Uprising RP 001 - Playground Options

[davion]

"You look like a great general, when this is war is over well talk more about my stock of equipment." Davion told Channler, pouring him a glass of mead.

Davion slides the letter his father gave him towards Channler and says, "We are in a war. This is going to get real thick, real fast. I need someone trustworthy, someone who will have my back like i have theirs, are you willing to watch my back in these dark times? If you accept, and we make it out of here, we can talk about you keeping a few items from my collection."

There was a silence between the two men for a few minutes, the only thing that wasn't silent was the sound of Davion cracking his nuckles and taking sips of the mead.

"We must leave in the morning to the fighters guild and seek out Aki." Davion said, stairing straight at Channler.

Davion could tell that Channler had a difficult time trying to cram the last few days into his head in a matter of minutes, so Davion opened up the letter and read:

"Aki, this is Fyr, house master of the corprusarium and Tel Fyr, there is a matter i am going to need you to do for me. My son, Davion, though he looks like his early twenties, he is actually celebrating his 101st birthday tomorrow.

What does any of this have to do with what i am asking of you? Well i've discovered information about a demon race called, 'Valpyre' and that they are planning to wage war on all of Vvardenfell.

The Valpyre get closer and closer to my home daily, and i fear they will kill me sometime soon. What i need of you is to look after my son, make use of his unatural skills to fight this greater evil that has arrisen next to the city of Vivec.

You know my son, he's been kicked out of the Fighters Guild repeatedly for flirting with the guild stewards.

Your friend, Fyr."

Another brief silence consumes the room. Davion interupts the silence by saying,

"I'll leave you to find out what this letter means to you. I am going to sleep, i insist you do the same, your going to need all the rest you can get."

Davion finishes his glass of Nordic Mead then stands to his feet, blood driping from where he used his sword to set his ribs and climbs onto his one person bed, not bothering to pull the covers back.

"Theres a spare bed in the next room, get some rest i will wake you in the morning." Davion says and shuts his eyes.

[Channler]

Channler watched Davion walk very wearily into his room. Even though Channler was having difficulty's with all this information, maybe a mental block, but Davion had just lived through something most normal men wouldn't. He glad to have someone on his side, whether that side was the good one was yet to be decided
Channler walked outside, he felt sick in all his thoughts, maybe the fresh air would make him feel better. One lesson from the academy ran through his mind, "Defend when your weak, but attack when your strong." Channler said alloud. A very simple and easy to grasp principle, yet so many have fallen because they didn't listen to it. "When are we strong" Channler thought, he felt strong but did that really make him strong? When troubled Channler would usually practice his magical ability's. Not only did the academy take those with superior combat prowess, but those that were destined to be great battlemages too. That was Channler's intended career path, a battlemage. The empire had no idea how powerful Channler's magic was, he had hidden, the only thing he could have that no one else would try to use. Or at least that was his philosophy when he was a Child.
Muttering a few words he summoned a skeletal champion, then lifting but a finger, launched a fire ball so hot that it appeared to be a blue orb into the skeleton. It flew into a hundred peices, at that Channler smirked. "I had better stop." Channler thought to himself, "Lest someone finds out that I'm not an invincible warrior, but an invicible mage" Now was not the time, but magic does run out, so better to conserve it.

He turned to Davion's house but glanced back at the seared ground hoping that maybe someone would come out in the moring and wonder as to what happened. But now it was late, maybe another 3 hours untill the moons set.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac was on his way to Balmora, but he had thought out a new idea. He arrived in Balmora, insted of seeking out Aki and the other adventurers he let a letter inside the Balmora Fighters Guild before heading off to the Silt Strider...
---
Hi Guild Steward Aki

I still haven't been able to get a talk with u, but I have to much in my hands. The Hlaalu Council in Vivec has been attacked by the Silver Skinned Demons, the Valpyres. They killed all, even the Grandmaster. I managed to save one, the new Grandmaster Sheira. Me and my Breton friend Vealon is planning to infiltrate this Island and gather as much information we can without starting this war to early. I hope u have gotten the other letter from Sheira, the Fighters Guilds are in danger of beeing attacked if the Valpyres dont know your location. I hope u and your friends would join us in this infiltration... I beg u, Vealon is now in the Morag Tong Hide-Out under the Arena in Vivec.

What I would want u to do is to gather up what u need of equipment and friends and head off to Vivec. I'm leaving for Gnisis to talk to a friend, a Imperial Knight Errant. I will be gone for atleast 3 days or more. I would want u to as soon as u can join me and Vealon and travel to the Morag Tong Hide-Out... I hope I will see u there Aki.

Regards, Vornac the Battlemage
---
The let the letter be in the Fighters Guild easy to see by some of the people there. He headed of to the Silt Strider and went to Gnisis. It didn't take long. In Gnisis he could already see people packing their stuff and leaving Vvardenfell. At the Fort Vornac saw his Imperial friend. He ran out and looked up at the wall...
"Hello there Ranius, remember me... I need to talk with u!" Vornac said...

"Ohh, hello there Vornac, long time since. What is it that u want to talk about...? Ranius replied curious...

"I need to talk to u private, I could need some aid..." Vornac answerd

"Ok!" he walked down and came out, looked like he was ready for combat. Armour on and weapon and sheild ready.
"Now? What is it Vornac, I have much to do here. This new threat to Vvardenfell is spreading and people are leaving to the mainland..." Ranius said...

"Yeah I know this... I've been attacked by these demons. Valpyres as they are called. They have already hit and attacked some people in Balmora also including the Hlaalu Council in Vivec. Leaving the Grandmaster dead. I need your aid, because me and a friend. And some other I have contacted are planning to infiltrate this Island" he said while looking into Ranius eyes...

"Infiltrate... Ehm, we are already at war then Vornac if they have attacked us. We have sent out requests to Cyrodiil City for more soldiers. We are considering a Navel Attack on this Island if they launch a attack. I have much to do, I'm leaving for Ebonheart tomorrow and talk to the Duke and the General" Ranius said while looking at the Imperial Soldiers training out in the field...

"These? These soldiers against the Valpyres. Listen Knight Errant, I almost got killed by five! Five Valpyres almost killed me, these soldiers could rather just leave Vvardenfell they wouldn't make any different! We are talking about a army of maybe more then a thousand of these Valpyres... So this is suicide" Vornac replied angry

"Vornac... This is really not the Imperials battle, its evil to say. But we have been told to not fall in combat of the Dunmers land. We will retreat to the mainland and aid Mournhold. But u have a nice plan, even if its very dangerous!" Ranius said...

"Its important to know your enemy isn't it... Why go out and meet them not even knowing what powers they posses. Come with me to Vivec, lets atleast see what they have then u can report back to the General. I'm sure he would be glad to see u have more information about the enemy" Vornac replied

"Ok Vornac. I will do it your way. But I will leave tomorrow to Ebonheart as planned telling the General and Duke what I'm doing then I'll come to Vivec as fast as I can..." Ranius said while looking up into the sky

"Well Ok, meet me under the Vivec Arena. We will stay at the Morag Tong Hide-Out. Meet me in the Arena in the Catons there and I will show u the way" Vornac touched his shoulder and ran off to the Silt Strider

Vornac went to Balmora, he took a little break at the Soutwall Inn with some beer and food before he went into the Fighters Guild to seek Aki...

[davion]

Davion wakes up about six or seven o'clock and walks into the spare room to wake up Channler.

"Hey, Channler, i'm going to get cleaned up, i'll be in the Odai River on the North entrance to town, i will be back in a few minutes, then we can go find Aki togeather."

Davion watches as Channler just groans so he walks away, leaving his armour and his weapon on his bed.

[Aki]

Aki read the letter and sighed. Wayn, who had been reading over Aki's shoulder, spoke; "So, you actually gonna go there?" he asked. Aki shrugged, "Its better than sitting on my boat, get ready and grab a few lower ranked members of the Guild, we're going to Vivec."

Wayn nodded and hurried off, returning shortly after, outfitted in Redoran style Bonemold, and trailing two Guildmembers. One was a Bosmer, in missmatched Imperial armors, and the other young Redguard lass, wear litle more than some netch leather armor.

I outta smack Wayn someday.... Aki thought to himself, before grabbing a satchel containing some potions and heading out the door, followed by his escort. Of them, Wayn seemingly lacked a weapon.

They turned abrutly, and walked into the Mages' guild, heading down to the Guild Guide. After all, why waste time taking a Silt Strider? Why Ride when you can translocate?

[Channler]

Never much of an early riser, especially not after being up at 3 o'clock in the morin, Channler lies in the borrowed bed for a few minutes and just try'd to keep his mind void of everything. He got up and looked out the window for a while. The sun was shining, it felt wonderful in his face, but it seemed that the sun in Cyrodil was far more nourishing. Walking out into the main section of the house Channler noticed that all of Davions weapons and armor were lying on his bed, none with him. Davion was not a stupid man, but during this war of assasins, everyone was being attacked, and Davion was now a key player in this game. Channler grabbed his drwarvin crossbow and davion's sword and run out the door. He casted a spell that he had created for himself, Jump of Common House, a spell intended for quickly scaling pretty much every Imperial house, too bad these house's weren't Imperial. Channler flew maybe 20 feet over his intended house and nearly missed the next one, but luckily it was overlooking the North Gate. Channler spotted up further north than where Davion was standing 12 or so Valpyre heading towards the gate. Channler took one giant leap and landed next to a suprised Davion.
"No time to explain!" Channler quickly said as he was loading a bolt into the crossbow, "About 12 Valpyre are heading this way. Look! Here they come!" Channler roared, launching a bolt at the nearest Valpyre...

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac was now at Balmora. He had comed to late and Aki had already left for Vivec... Vornac didn't know that Channler and Davion was in Balmora, he hoped they might find them one day. So he went to the Silt Strider, there he saw Channler and Davion screaming out abou Valpyres, beyond the Silt Strider he saw 12 Valpyres coming...
"Oh compassion..." Vornac said to himself

He screams out to Channler;
"Valpyres! I will help u...!" and he runs off to the North Gate drawing his weapons and get ready to fight

(OOC: I most go now, u can just "control" Vornac in the battle, he would start with a fireball then run in with his Enchanted Ebony Longsword...)

[davion]

Davion saw the first of the men drop. As the men got closer Davion went to pull his Dai-Katana out of the sword case but noticed it had rusted over from the potions that had busted all over his sword from his fall a few days back.

Davion, standing in the river, with nothing but a pair of common pants on, water dripping down his back from his wet hair, saw two of the Valpyre run over to a female traveler and start attacking her. With no time to think Davion grumbles,

"Damnit!" and rushes over to the womans aid. Davion found himself out of breath half way to the woman and the two Valpyre, remembering that his ribs were still sore, as so his leg was too.

Once there, Davion landed a series of punches on the Valpyre with its back towards him, then spins him to face Davion and kicks his knee cap in, breaking his knee. The other Valpyre turns his attension to Davion and takes his enchanted sword and slices Davions chest.

For Davion being so old, he could feel the slice of the sword across from his chest, from a lack of adrenaline. The second Valpyre kicks Davion in the gut, causing him to crumble to his knees, and then he turns his attension back to the woman.

"No! Don't do it!" Davion demands in panic and frantically hurrys to his feet. The Valpyre raises his dagger from the belt holster and goes to lunge it into the womans stomache but Davion dives into the girl, knocking her down and Davion takes the dagger shot meant for her into his kidneys.

Davion screams out in pain, then mutters something to himself and points his right hand to the Valpyres chest, sending him flying into the North Gate with a powerful fireball, killing him.

Davion stands up and signals for the girl to hurry to the nearest guard and tell him what happened then reaches back and pulls out the dagger that was stuck in his kidneys. Davion thought to himself, 'Great, another scar to add to my collection.'

[Channler]

Channler up to wear Davion laid on the ground, he was going into shock, so Channler a simple healing spell so that Davion wouldn't die on him. Channler started to asses the sitiuation, 1 Valpyre had fallen to Channler's bolt and another was wounded and Davion had succesfully, if not very costly, taken out two on his own. That left roughly 9 left. "Not very good odds" Channler muttered to himself while loading in another bolt. Thwump! Direct hit, 8 Valpyre left. Thwump, 7 left. Channler guessed that they were about 20 yards away only a matter of seconds, Thwump 7 left, before they'd be untop of them. The effects of the jump spell were just about to wear off, he figured that he better make the best of it. Channler leaped 30 feet into the air, everything seemed to slow down. He knew that even if he launched his "secret attack" that at least 2 of them would survive, he had to make a gambit. In the middle of the jump Channler unleashed a blinding white light from his finger tips. It was pure energy and it struck the ground where the Valpyre's stood and incenerated it, causing all vegetation to light a'fire. The attack drained all his fatigue and magicka. On the decent of his jump he blacked out.

--

Vornac witnessed the amazing dustruction of all but one of the Valpyre. So he ran extremely quickly to where Channler had fell and cast a fire ball at the silver skinned beast. Its arm burst into bright dazeling orange flames, yet it still charged. From there Vornac simply did a little spinning manuever and sliced open its side. The creature writhed on the ground for a while before completely heading to oblivion. Vornac spat on it and then turned and walked back to Channler. Davion, clutching his stomach was standing there...

[davion]

Davion picks Channler up and throws him over his shoulder and takes him back to his house, but turns to the stranger and says,

"Hey, my name is Davion, thanks for your help. Go, follow Aki and have him meet us in the Vivec Arena in three days time." Then before the stranger could get a word in, Davion starts running back to his house.

Once at his house, Davion lays Channler down in the center of the floor then continues to place candles around Channler, unaware his wounds are tearing.

Once he lit all the candles, Davion gets to his knees besides Channler and starts to mutter something in a foreign language. A thick green cloud forms over Channlers body, and Davion continues to mutter the strange language.

Finally, the words stop flowing from Davions mouth, and he goes into parallisys and floats into the air, the green cloud moving away from Channlers body and starts to swirl around Davion.

After a long few seconds the could forces its way into Davions lungs, and his arms and legs streatch out and his body goes into Epelectic shock, then Davion plummits to the floor.

Davion had seen this too many times before, and little did Channler know what the Valpyre did to him.

When Channler launched into the sky, one of the demon Valpyres cast a extreamly powerful poison spell on him, thus causing his collapse.

Davion, now lays motionless next to Channler.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac did as Davion said and went into the Mages Guild. He was still beeing careful, with the Valpyres seeking out important characters from all the factions. He gave a little thought, it was soon night. And Ranius would soon head out to talk to the General of the Imperial Legion here in Morrowind and the Duke. Ranius was a charismatic person, and Vornac was pretty sure he would make the Leaders say its OK for him to leave for Vivec...

After getting teleported to Vivec, Vornac starts to head off to the Arena. He was always looking behinde himself trying to act as neutral as possible. If the Valpyres found out they were staying in the Morag Tong they could find our plans. Vornac went down the secret trap-door to Morag Tong, in the Hall he could see Vealon, leaning against the wall... Just thinking.

"So... I guess u have comed up with a plan or what?" Vornac said while walking up to Vealon. Vealon just nodded, still thinking on somethingn.

"Ehm well OK. Aki and two others are coming soon. We met twelve freaking Valpyres outside Balmora. They will come here in atleast three days, so will another friend of mine... I hope" Vornac said

"I have a little plan, I thought it out. I was thinking that in 4 days, we leave out by boat. Just a little boat under the night sky heading for the Island. He go on to the Island and we try to see who this God is..." Vealon said...

Vornac nodded, tired and with blood all over him he left into his old room. And started to sleep.

(OOC: I was just thinking, what kind of design should this Island have. We can talk about it in Plan and Discussion. But I was thinking of this almost a floating mountain, with huge caves. Almost Six House looking. Much flames and wierd symbols...? What do u think...?)

[Aki]

Aki, Wayn, and the other two Fighter's guild members wandered into the Arena Canalworks, one of them headed to a trap door for the underworks.
"They said under the Arena, right? So they'll be in the sewers, or lower, right?" The member asked. Aki shook his head and pointedto the Arena storage. "The Underworks are TOO obvious, they'll be in there..." he said.

They headed into the Arena storage, and clomped about til they found the trap door to the Morag Tong Guild. Of course, aforementioned trapdoor being locked, there was one course of action.

A Battered trap door fell int the guild, removed from its hinges...

[KingofSyria]

Valentine stepped off the silt strider. It had been a long journey from Vivec, and he was happy to be on solid ground instead of in that silt strider muck. He looks around him- he was in Balmora. It seemed to be a pretty normal town, commoners running about. He'd make sure to mention this town needed more faith to his superiors he told himself, and set out down the stairs. "Hey" he said to a nearby Argonian "where's the local tavern? I need a drink." The Argonian pointed him in the direction of the Eight Plates (I think that's it's name), and Valentine set off.

[Demon]

Kalloros knelt by the body of the Draemora, breathing deeply and wiping his bloody blade on his jerkin. The creature had literally come out of nowhere and leapt at the asassins throat. Kalloros, with deadly reaction, swayed back and with one swift motion unsheathed his blade and sliced open the creatures jugular. Panting, he sheathed his blade and half dragged, half carried the dead creature down the stairs of his appartment. There was only one place he was heading and that was the fighters guild. He didn't know why but he had a feeling that something big was about to happen there and that he needed to be there when it happened. He also knew that if there was someone who knew why this creature had attacked him they would be at the guildhall. He walked through his door, locked it and walked through the town dragging the corpse. People stared at him but he was unpeterbed as he had more important things on his mind that worrying about how he looked.
"Stop, in the name of the emporer!" A hlaluu guard shouted dramatically before sprinting over and pointing his sword at the assassins chest.
"Where goes ye with that monstrosity?" Kalloros, thinking fast replied cooly,
"Why. I thought that would be obvious my good sir. You see, this creature attacked me as I was studying and so I reacted... naturally and immediately sought to bring it to a guard for further investigation. You happen to be a guard so I'll just leave it with you. Unless of course you want a rotting corpse being left around your streets." The guard was about to protest when Kalloros added with a wink,
"Hey, if you tied that up I'm sure it'd make fine target practise for your archers." Without another word the tall assassin briskly made his way to the fighters guild hall. But before he got to the entrance a chilling sensation of terror swept through his body and he found himself on his knees struggling for breath.

[KingofSyria]

Valentine entered the eight plates. He looked around- the usual bunch of riff raff. He sat down at the bar and ordered a drink, intent on learning some gossip. It only took a little while before he managed to jump in on a conversation, and from there he managed to wring out some information. Apparently, a large island had just appeared, and House Krellos had just popped out of nowhere. Valentine was eager to join in the fight at this point. "Where is the action taking place?" he asked "I must join in."
"If you want to take part in the 'action', you should probably head down on to the Fighter's Guild," said a shady individual "that's where there's been some hubbub." Valentine nodded his thanks, paid the bartender and set off for the Fighter's Guild. After a little while of walking, he stopped outside of the Guild and began to lay out what he would tell the people inside when he went in- maybe he'd lie and say he was an assassin, maybe he'd tell them straight he was of the temple, maybe he'd even say he was part of the guild. Choices, choices, but which would be the best for the cause?

[Fuzzy Knight]

Vornac heard the noice at the trap-door... He went out of his old room. Seeing Aki, Wayn and two other strangers.

"Hello there Aki, Wayn... Its nice to see u have comed here. We have thought about a tactic for a infiltration on the Island. Vealon is planning now, so leave him a little room because he is still thinking..." Vornac said to Aki...

Vornac gave Aki a little clap on the shoulder... Smiling he said;
"Make yourself at home... I'm still awaiting Channler and Davion, and a friend from the Imperial Legion"

(OOC: KingofSyria, we can say that u are a friend of my characters friend Ranius. And he summons u to Ebonheart to aid him, and from there he takes u to the Vivec Arena to meet us... BTW: Guys what happend to Nerevar, is he dead or in another place or what plz answer...)

In Ebonheart, Knight Errant Ranius was having a talk with the General of the Imperial Legion Morrowind. And of course the Duke. Ranius talking about how they could collect key information about the enemies army. The Duke was still not sure, he wanted Vivec to hear about this because its really not their problem. Ranius denied to talk to Vivec, he hadn't done much the last time. He still was brining up that he had Vornac on their side a important character for the Dunmers. In the end they accepted his mission, giving them 3 weeks to gather information and report back to the Duke and the General from there talking to Vivec.

Back in Morag Tong, Vornac took up his weapons from the Hlaalu Councillers. Many good and rare weapons. There was all from a sword almost like Gravedigger named Painmaker, and mostly other swords. Like Goldbrand, and a enchanted Ebony Scimitar of the High Ordinators, former Guards of Alamexia. And it was a Daedric Longbow, Vornac took that including 50 arrows. The bow was one of the most uniqe and best made bows in Morrowind for almost a thousand years. Its arrows so sharp and enchanted with such a magic it would make it a little more easy to kill the Valpyres... There were also a enchanted Ebony Spear, ancient spear that the sayings say belong to a Saint. Vornac walked up to Aki after laying out the weapons on this bed...

"Here, are some weapons, give one to each of your companions and yourself if u need it..." he smiled and pointed into his room...

[Soulseeker3.0]

***whew well that was a nice break thanks Fuzzy Knight for the idea boost (or what ever)***

After Vealon told the first part of his plan to Vornac, he heard a rattle at the trapdoor that supposaly kept the "guild" of aorts hidden. So VEalon without thinking grabed his twin daggers and lept down to the base floor as he saw what looked like solders going into Vornac's room. He ran up to Vornac as the warriors were going into the room. He was just about to attack one when he relised it was Aki the fighter's guild master. Then right beforeVealon hit Aki he dropped the blades with a clatter, and started explaning like nothing happened (only because he was the best bluffer in the land).

[KingofSyria]

OOC: Sure, that sounds good. I'll wait until someone "activates" me at the docks or something. Thanks man.

[davion]

Davions heart still not pumping any blood into his body, awakens in what seems like a dream world. Staggering to his feet, Davion looks around to see nothing but blackness, and a few short seconds after he scans the area he starts to plummit into a black abyss.

Davion screams out curse words as he falls, some of which damn himself for sending himself into hell. The poison that Davion drew out of Channlers body was for the purpose of feeding the demon lord with souls, casting who ever got infected and died with it into hell for eternity. Davion had only heard about this spell once, but never thought HE would be the unfortunate one.

Davion finally comes crashing down in what looks like a poorly fire lit throne room, with a creature in full Daedric Armour sitting on what appears to be a Throne chair.

"Wh . . . Who the hell are you?!" Davion asks cautiously getting to his feet.

"I am the lord of the underworld, and Master and Commander of the Valpyre. Foolish of you to sacrifice your life so that your friend could live. You know, i can't allow you to leave." The demon says in a evilish tone.

"So it is true, about the spell. I am in hell." Davion says, starting to laugh evily to himself. "You don't seriously think you're going to be able to keep me here do you?" Davion continues to say.

The Demon King gets a evil grin on his face and says, "And how do you supose to get out of here, if you don't mind my asking? You ARE a slave here, you ARE bound here for eternity." Then the king looks at 2 guards and signals them to take Davion away.

The two Valpyre guards get to arms reach of Davion and he attempts to break free but one of the guards stabs Davion in the stomache and he falls to his knees.

"Ha. . . . hahaha . . . . . HAhahahaahahahahha" Davion starts to laugh, "I'm already dead, was that suppost to hurt?" Davion says synically, then looks up at the guard that stabed him, pulls out the dagger from his stomache and forces the guard to jab himself in the kneck with it.

Davion says, "See, unlike YOU guys, i was alive once, and now i am dead, i don't experience the pains of the flesh anymore, but you guys, hah, you can die just as if you were alive."

The Demon King, understanding that Davion has a point, leaps from his chair, and grasps his hand around Davions neck, sqeezes his neck until his face starts turning red, and casts him back up to the plain of the living.

"Boss, why'd you do that? You just let him go!" One of the Kings henchmen says.

"Because he had a point, if i didn't get rid of him, he could have destroyed us!" The king replies.

Davion wakes up, gasping for air and holding his chest, relieved to feel his heart beating. Davion slups against the wall, legs extending towards Channler, and says in exaustion,

"You owe me one. . ." Then Davion closes his eyes and rests.

[Soulseeker3.0]

***lol nice one Davion***
