Posted by: Loranna Yesterday, 03:42 AM

Hello, and welcome to our Elder Scrolls Role Playing threads, where we adventure and socialize in the vibrant land of Tamriel.

Before we begin, we'd like to clarify a few things:

This is an 'open roleplay' and everyone is encouraged to join in at any time!

'Open' roleplay does not mean 'unorganized' or 'limitless', however. The events in this story are usually planned, and if something BIG happens, you can be certain that it is the result of much discussion between players, usually in the mIRC chat (#Loranna_RP). This is not just a bunch of disorganized individuals doing what they think would be fun for their character at the time.

So, while everyone is welcome to join in, they are NOT welcome to jump in and do big, world-changing things without DISCUSSING IT FIRST. Let me be very clear about what cannot be done without permission:

1:
Any action that effects another person's character, for ill or good. Although most people realize they can't harm another person's character without permission, many don't realize that you can't HELP another character without permission, either. Many characters have flaws for a reason. Don't go healing, saving, or otherwise fixing another character without DISCUSSING IT FIRST with the player involved.

2:
Any event that would drastically change things that have been done to the world, whether the change is physical (rebuilding destroyed locations), political (converting a population to a new cause), military (killing off all the badguys) or anything else. Almost every situation, good or bad, that exists in the RP was done for some reason. Don't go changing or fixing things without DISCUSSING IT FIRST with the group.

Everyone who is involved in the RP is welcome in the mIRC chat channel #Loranna_RP. If you have a plot idea then you are encouraged to go there and discuss it. If you cannot get on the channel for some reason, or if the player whos character you would affect with your plan is not there, then PM them using this board's PM function. That's what it's there for.

For information on reaching #Loranna_RP via Mirc or Chatspike, look http://www.ravensky.org/irc/.

Not following the above advice will only result in one thing: your post is likely to be completely ignored by everyone as if it did not happen. This is obvously not good for anyone, so please, discuss major events before doing them.

Remember: Secret plans and surprises are seldom fun for anyone else. Before they're revealed they're boring, because nobody knows about them, and afterwards they're just annoying, because nobody knew about them.
Thank you, and have fun!

Summary for Loranna, Female Nord: Loranna has recently received word from General Light, aka Allerleirauh, expressing concern for Barenziah's plans for Morrowind. Somewhat coincidentally, Loranna then went to the arena where she teamed up with Tris to demonstrate teamwork and tactics in a fight with Isidor and Falco. She currently sits in the study, discussing how the battle went with her companions.

The Breton Arynel is currently at the arena in Ald Raathim, pondering the battle he just witnessed, and perhaps other things also.

Falco Redflash is currently in the castle discussing the previous fight.

OOC: Anya is sitting in the study listneing to the others talk about the fight.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Yesterday, 03:44 AM

ooc summary: Tris, a male Breton of 20 years, fought in Loranna's improvised Arena alongside Loranna, against Isidor and Falco. Due to organized tactics, he and Loranna won. Now he's walking back to the castle with Goranthir, who was upset about the violence involved in the training.

QUOTE(Sheogorath @ Aug 10 2005, 08:36 PM)

"I like boats," Goranthir shrugged, wondering about the strain in Tris's voice, but attributing it to the fighting he had just endured. "I like that it's a home, but its transportation too. I like --" He paused. They had reached the castle, and he seemed to stumble over the next words. "I like that it's private. I won't be spied on there, not easily anyhow ..."

Tris stopped walking for a moment, to look directly into Goranthir's face. When he resumed, his voice was thoughtful.

"That's true. It's hard to spy on someone on a boat. I don't even know who the spies are right now, and that used to be my job. You can bet Loranna hasn't thought to do it with me gone."

Posted by: Sheogorath Yesterday, 03:45 AM

Goranthir is with Tris, who has brought him around to understanding the need to fight one another as a form of training. He has just told Tris that he has bought a warship to live on, where he can be free from "spying."

"Hasn't she?" Goranthir looked amazed. "In my family, every household considers spies as vital a servant to employ as cooks. Probably more so. How else does she assume my grandmother knows so much about her?"

QUOTE(Sheogorath @ Aug 10 2005, 08:49 PM)

"Well, when you're sweetly naive and have nothing to hide, spies aren't so threatening," Tris said. "It's the most clever form of counter-intelligence there is."

Goranthir laughed loud and long as they entered into the castle, and Loranna's study.

"Hello dears; has Tris been regaling you with stories of my misadventures again?" Loranna asks, smiling happily. "Come, help yourself to some tea and join in the discussion; we've had some good things mentioned so far."

Isidor began to write something on a piece of paper.

<Loranna/Isidor> .vs. <Tris/Reichi>

<Goran/Raithen>. .vs. <Falco/Anya>

<Shaka/Ash> .vs. <Distirl/Arynel>

"Something like this, perhaps?" He showed it to Loranna. "It has people with different abilities team up, and..." He trailed off "Well, I thought it was a good idea." He smiled.

QUOTE(Loranna @ Aug 10 2005, 09:00 PM)

Tris helped himself, not to tea, but to Jazbet's brandy. He trusted himself not to get soused, as the others had last night.

"One thing I noticed is that we need at least two support mages, one for healing, and one for other spells like reflect and so on. We should probably have a damage dealing mage as well. Who in this group knows this stuff, that's the question."

Posted by: Tri Yesterday, 04:09 AM

Diamond knocked at the open door to the study, holding a small item in her hand behind her back.

"Hi, Loranna," she said.

"I have some basic healing and damage spells, but not reflect yet. I've just started learning some Absorb spells. I would like to learn more . . . "

Posted by: Loranna Yesterday, 04:10 AM

QUOTE(Allerleirauh @ Aug 10 2005, 10:07 PM)

Loranna nods. "I'm capable of both but Falco's dagger strike put Tris in a spot," she says. "If I had been just a little slower Isidor might have been able to take tris down before I could renew his enchantments. Having two people to take care of dispel and fortify effects would be nice."

She looks to her companions. "We have a Mage Guild and trainers; who here has any interest or talent in either healing or support magic?"

QUOTE(Tri @ Aug 10 2005, 10:09 PM)

Diamond knocked at the open door to the study, holding a small item in her hand behind her back.

"Hi, Loranna," she said.

Loranna raises her eyebrows. "Hello Diamond dear; what is it?" she asks, eyeing Diamond curiously. "A surprise?"

Posted by: Sheogorath Yesterday, 04:11 AM

QUOTE(Xyber02 @ Aug 10 2005, 10:01 PM)

"Good, you kind of had me worried there. I was hoping it wasn't something I said when you walked off."

Goranthir shook his head. "Nothing you said. It was just watching friends get hurt by other friends that got to me. Tris made me see that there's no other way ... So, I'm going to try."

He looked at Isidor's list: "Who's Raithen?"

Posted by: Tri Yesterday, 04:18 AM

Diamond smiled. "Not too much of a surprise, no. Here."

She held out her hand, and in it was a palm-sized figure, a spitting image of Loranna, tearstreaks and all.

"I was thinking you could use it in planning tactics - if you want, I can make a whole set of others pretty soon. Only if you want it, of course. Just trying to make myself useful, not much I can do as a fighter...what do you think?"

"Well, through the years I have become familiar with the magica. I could be of some use, though, Restoration is not the school of magic as to which I excel in. But Destruction and Conjuration can be quite usefull..."

"Were you trained as a jeweler?" Tris asked, examining her work. "Very nice. We'd need a sand table."

QUOTE(Tri @ Aug 10 2005, 10:18 PM)

Loranna's eyes widen and she smiles. "Why dear that's lovely," she says, gently taking the figure and holding it up to admire it. " ... Wow; this is impressive, though a little blush-inducing too ..."

She looks to the others, toning the grin down. " ... Might not hurt to have a map and tokens to use to plan out ideas and strategies ahead of time ..."

Posted by: Tri Yesterday, 04:22 AM

"Were you trained as a jeweler?" Tris asked, examining her work. "Very nice. We'd need a sand table."

"Thank you very much," she said, smiling. "A jeweler? Hardly. Only an artist. I'm sure you can find a sand table in town. Does this mean you want the set?"

QUOTE(Loranna @ Aug 10 2005, 06:22 PM)

It was Diamond, however, who was blushing. "I'll get to work straight away," she said, and she left excitedly.

He looked at Isidor's list: "Who's Raithen?"

"Oh, sorry I haven't introduced myself to you yet. I am Raithen Arthat, an old Wizard," said Raithen with a smile.

"Oh, sorry I haven't introduced myself to you yet. I am Raithen Arthat, an old Wizard," said Raithen with a smile.

"Goranthir," said the young Dunmer, shaking his hand. "A young ranger, and maybe your partner if we go with Isidor's line-up."

Posted by: Loranna Yesterday, 04:28 AM

Loranna watches Diamond rush out with a bemused expression, and carefully puts the figure away, saying to Isidor "Sorry dear ... hmm, interesting matchups ..."

She looks to Tris. "Did you have any further thoughts?"

Posted by: Allerleirauh Yesterday, 04:32 AM

QUOTE(Loranna @ Aug 10 2005, 09:28 PM)

Tris glanced over Isidor's list.

"Good luck getting Arynel into an arena. This sounds like fun, but it also sounds like something that will take more time than we have right now. But while you're making lists... how about a list of our various skillsets?"

Posted by: Loranna Yesterday, 04:37 AM

QUOTE(Allerleirauh @ Aug 10 2005, 10:32 PM)

Loranna produces paper and ink, and starts off by writing:

Loranna: Healer

Restoration Magic
Mysticism Magic (absorb spells especially)
Alchemy

"Those are the three areas of study I focus on most," she says. "I'm pretty good with illusions and alteration magic but mostly in the pursuit of defensive effects. I should be either the person casting healing and fortifying spells, or else the person zapping the enemies with absorb spells and casting dispels and silences as needed, and assuming potions work out there I'll prepare a supply beforehand for the party."

She hands everyone paper and a pen, stopping at Goranthir. " .. .Dear your face ..." she says, noting the bruise and blushing at her inattention. "Here; let me ..."

Posted by: Sheogorath Yesterday, 04:37 AM

QUOTE(Allerleirauh @ Aug 10 2005, 10:32 PM)

"You think we should go to three on three, or even four on four?" Goranthir asked.

He smiled and closed his eyes while Loranna's healing hands fixed his wounds. She found that they were all over his body, not just his face.

Posted by: Sheogorath Yesterday, 04:40 AM

Goranthir wrote on his paper:

Long Blade
Athletics
Dodging

And then added:

Summoning / Communicating With Animals

"For all the good that would do me in another plane of existance," he thought to himself.

"You never know," Loranna says as she finishes healing all of Goranthir's wounds. "Dear, did you get into a tussle with the alits again?"

"You never know," Loranna says as she finishes healing all of Goranthir's wounds. "Dear, did you get into a tussle with the alits again?"

"No, I did that to myself," Goranthir grinned bashfully, pulling out his daedric dai-katana. "I was trying to master the spell in this. I got it wrong thirty times, and right on the thirty-first. Its very painful when I get it wrong. I probably should learn some healing spell, at least for myself."

Tris said, "My list goes, 'Running like hell, Flirting, and Tricksy Surprises...' but as I mentioned to Goranthir, I won't be with you. The Eight, that's a sacred number, I can carry messages back and forth but I can't help fight."

QUOTE(Sheogorath @ Aug 10 2005, 10:46 PM)

Loranna's mouth hangs open for just a second.

" ... Dear, I brew potions especially for letting people train themselves ragged," she says. "Next time, ask me for a few of them first. No point in letting yourself be a giant bruise longer than necessary ..."

" ... What sort of spell is in the blade?" she asks, changing the subject.

Shaka wrote: "I have fireball, slowfall, Feet of Notorgo, water walk and water breathing; with the Amulet of Shadows, chameleon; and you know about the Spear of Bitter Mercy and its storm atronach, as well as the dragonbone cuirass with its fire protection, but I'm not sure whether armor and weapons apply where you're talking about going.

I also have the spells Bound mace, dagger, and armor. I just started learning some Absorb spells. Good agility, resistance to poison."

“I wonder,” Goranthir asked. “If you can conjure up other planar creatures in Mundus, if you could conjure up Mundane creatures in the plane where we’ll be fighting … which I can control … It would certainly surprise our opponents if you could …”

QUOTE(Allerleirauh @ Aug 10 2005, 10:47 PM)

Goranthir started to smile, but frowned when Tris reminded him that he wouldn’t be part of the group.

QUOTE(Loranna @ Aug 10 2005, 10:51 PM)

“Now you tell me,” Goranthir laughed, and looked at his sword. “I don’t really know. It was a gift from the Psijics who advise my father. Its effect is translucent, almost invisible, blunt force trauma. They call the effect Kynarine, after Kynareth. I don’t think the Mages Guild has a spell like it.”

Posted by: Xyber02 Yesterday, 04:59 AM

Anya fumbled with the pen, writing

Anya: Non-magical Support

Archery

And the Nines be willing, Lotus

"I think that covers me so far."

"I'll remember next time," Loranna says, "to ask." She grins a bit, though her eyes are full of curiosity.

" ... Kynarine?" she asks, her eyebrows going up. " ... Do they think it related to the Thu'um then in some way, other than just incidental appearance?"

Posted by: Allerleirauh Yesterday, 05:03 AM

QUOTE(Sheogorath @ Aug 10 2005, 09:59 PM)

"I've been wondering that myself," Tris said. "That's the sort of thing we're waiting for word about from Master Solin and the General. All I know is that I saw beasts, and creatures that looked like summonings, but nothing I recognized. It may be some of them were creatures native to the Outer Planes."

"The Psijics would probably say it's all related, and it's as related to rain and thunder," Goranthir smiled. "They're insane."

Anvil, Cyrodiil

Selvia Ciccero's convoy stopped at the gates to the Admaralty, and a quick word to the guard in question, a salute, and the convoy was escorted into the naval yards. A manslave bent over, and Selvia used him as a step, her high heels sticking into the back of him, but strangely enough, he did not even wimper, as she decended from the carrage, and walked towards Admiral Sccipro's house, the Admiral, still in his sleeping robes, looked at this wierd prosession with wonder at how they got past secruity
"Tell me, young woman, why are you here... and more importantly, how did you get past those guards?" the Admiral asked Selvia
"It does not matter how, I wish to ask you for you to lift your blockade of the harbour to Merchant shipping" she replied
"If the chamber of commerce can not get me to lift it, you definatly cant. Its orders from the Imperial City itself, intill the situation in Illac bay has been cleared up, no ship is leaving this harbour!" The admiral said forcefully
Yet despite this, after five minutes, the admiral had recended this order, and gave Lady Selvia a escort to the mouth of the Illac Bay area. Five hours after the ship left, the Admiral wondered what had happened, and where the Flagship of the Colovian West Fleet was...

"Well, that's okay; so am I," Loranna says, grinning but sounding at least half-serious. "Anyway, I can see about having you learn some basic healing spells at your convenience, dear; if we get through this the knowledge will be handy to have."

She asks "Has anyone else mentioned being good with support magics yet? Or healing? Papers, please ..."

Gidar Neras was a well-to-do merchant. He was a dunmer, a typically good, if a bit disinclined to believe in the equality of other races, citizen, and given the chance he’d even spend a bit of time in the temple on holidays. Arriving by humble means, something of a refugee, during the later days of the Dawn, Gidar had built himself a respectable business as a pawnbroker and outfitter. The mer sat under his awning trying to keep somewhat cool in the heat, glowering in the direction of the crowd on the corner.

It was that Nord from the bar, he was raving still and worse still… others had joined him.

“Alduin descends on us all!” “Only the inglorious dead will be spared from his terrible hunger!” “Make ready, our wait grows short!”

Loranna looks at the various papers. " ... Conjuration; if conjuration spells work out there then we could definitely use them," she says. "My finace Slyvos has offered to be the fireball flinger, though ... well, he's been kind of quiet lately ..."

Clearing her throat, she frowns, considering. "Okay; Raithen you say you've a secondary specialty in healing. Shaka, you have a couple healing spells. Are either of you good at curses, attribute-draining or damaging spells, things such as blind and silence and dispel?"

"That works as well," Loranna says. "To be honest, I'm equally comfortable draining our foes as I am with healing my friends, and absorb spells have an innate advantage in that they don't cause as much harm if reflected to their caster. I've also spells which combine both effects, which I can use as well, but those might not work so well - it may be better for me to focus purely on draining the enemy and casting dispels as needed."

She looks around. "We should try a training excersice soon where someone works with me as the primary healer."

Loranna smiles, though she does say to Raithen "Peace friend. Let's definitely try some more bouts, or Falco's idea, or both, with other people working as the healer. I can provide tips and some help in training, and we'll see who fits most naturally in that role."

Loranna glances over at Goranthir, frowning, then frowning thoughtfully, then frowning a little again.

"It's a good suggestion," she says after a moment. "Though let us see if we first can't get Sir Radont to help, or hear from Cyndarius, or use Falco's ... um, connections? - in the Legion," she says.

Posted by: Sir Radont Yesterday, 09:14 AM

Radont left the library where he had been writing and headed to Loranna's room. He didn't know when he would see her next so he stuck the note to the door, the contents of the note were as follows:

My distrust of anything magic, no offense to you or our other magic users, has left me with the unique chance to hone my combat skills using only steel and iron. The Legion has me training the troops in armed combat, what follows are my generally musings on various combat subjects.

A combination of archers with dismounted men-at-arms will give you the advantage. But purely defensive tactics, however efficient, can only win battles if the enemy obliges by battering himself to pieces against them. They leave him free to decide if and when to give battle and when to break it off.

Whenever possible while on the defensive, choose a position with a slope in front and some sort of natural protection, whether it be a river or a mountain, protecting at least one flank. The slope will lessen the charge of the enemy should they choose that route.

An offensive charge should be attempted only after volleys of arrows have weakened the enemy and only on flat, open ground. Let the armored members of the group do the charging in a large battle. The stout armor of the Imperial Legion is capable of fending off great blows that would fell an unarmored man. A charge will not succeed against an enemy infantry that are still locked together holding pikes.

A wall of Legionaries with tower shields not only looks impressive but will also serve as a staging area for a volley of arrows or more precision shots at closer ranges. Enchant their shields with an absorb or reflect spell and you have a neigh invincible, mobile base. When advancing, put spearmen (or spearwoman) immediately behind the shields, if the enemy charges the spears can stick through the gaps in the line and assist in stopping the charge. If one of your shield-men should fall, the spearman will take his place and cover him until he gets healing. An archer should NEVER pick up a shield unless it is a last resort, archers have one job- finding targets and eliminating them.

Study these tips and commit them to memory, try doing some maneuvers with shields and spears. Practice keeping archers covered while moving. I will write down more tips as I have time. For now just keep practicing. Good Hunting.

He woke up early. This was most unexpected, so Raithen got to work on some paper work. After finishing, he decided to head out. He ate some breakfest, got dressed, grabbed his staff and set out for the arena.

When he arrived, no one was in sight. "Hmm, it seems I'm a little too early today," said Raithen while chuckling to himself. "Well, I'll just have to wait." And he immediatly headed over to he side of the arena, and started putting the finishing touches on the spell he was making...

The sun fell through the silk curtains, threw itself on the bed and sung its morning song.

Ahjaar awoke. She sat up, and looked around.
Luxi was still sleeping at her side, the papers she had left on her desk were still there from last night.
Nothing had happened.
No dreams.
Nothing.
Ahjaar streched and yawned, then got out of bed, waking Luxi.
Luxi sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Morning."
"Morning Mom."

------------------------

The two of them headed down to the drunken guar.
Ahjaar and luxi had the usual: A sweet roll, kwama eggs and juice.
Ahjaar was thinking about going to the beach for a morning dip... but only if Luxi wanted to.
"Hey, babe, you want to go swimming after breakfast."
Luxi took a bite out of her sweet roll. "Sure."

Hand of Hardship
-Absorb willpower
-Absorb strength
-Absorb fatigue
-Absorb endurance
-Absorb magica
-All for seventy percent
-Of a radius of 10 feet

"If I did this correct," said Raithen to himself, "then the target will be rendered completly useless, and thus be out of the fight in a matter of seconds." He scratched his beared.
"But this spell alone could drain me." He shook his head doubtfullly. "Oh well, best to save it for last..."

Falco awoke ftom his slumber. He got to his feet, dressed himself and collected his pay as security conultant from Dram, his first months wages. Falco took his now significantly heavier gold pouch, and bought several rolls of parchment, as well as a quill and ink. He sat down on top of the roof of a building he had climbed and wrote a letter in his usual calligraphy script.

Dear Gerard,

Its been a while but I'm asking for another favor. Would you mind sending me full soulgem and an empty one from the mage's guild supply room? I know it a lot to ask but I desperately need it. I' into something big, Gerard, something very big... I need the full one to enchant my saber and the other one, because I get the feeling there will probably be some powerful souls to trap. Thanks again.

Necrom

The Telvanni towers against the eastern coastline of Morrowind, even with the morning sun shining through, looked like the desiccated tusks of some ancient beast. Barenziah was within. Kena Telvanni Gilroam, the most powerful sorceror in the House, and sovereign of the land for the past three thousand years, had not permitted her to spend the night in his home. It was not surprising. She had anticipated hostility. The best she would hope to get in negotiations with Gilroam would be a promise of neutrality, and even that was suspect.

As Barenziah and her retinue made their way through the dark, twisted hallways of the palace, she thought on the meeting the previous day. It had been Gilroam’s four thousand and five hundredth birthday, and she had unpleasantly surprised him. It had been the worst surprise he had in a hundred years, since Killedael, his former apprentice had turned on him, forcing him to banish Killedael to a remote island in the Sea of Ghosts forever.

Barenziah waited outside the audience chamber while the servant went to fetch the Master of the Manor. There were still smoking signs of battle everywhere.

“Kena Killedael will see you now,” the servant said.

“Poor Gilroam,” Barenziah said as she walked into the audience chamber. “He was not to live to four thousand, five hundred and one.”

Tris Gaerington waited for the interview to be at an end. He had been waiting most of the night, off and on, with occasional excursions Inside for food and sips of potions to restore his fatigue.

He had come in the hopes of catching Barenziah when she wasn't busy. That was proving to be more difficult than he had expected.

Having grown up in Wayrest, under Elysana's firm but dainty hand, he felt little sympathy for the fallen Dunmer. What did they expect? Sovereigns could be ignored when they were safely at a distance; up close, they must be respected.

How could he approach her, without making the same mistake he had made with Elysana? He had no desire to alarm her, or alert her to the extent of his talents.

He decided, in the end, to approach her respectfully, through proper channels. Her retinue knew him.

"If you would let her majesty know I'm here," he said.

Cyndarius Colla carefully smoothed out a sheet of what he called the "fancy parchment", and put his pen to it;

'Dearest Loranna,'

"She's the [censored] Lady of Ald Raathim, you know, Sir," said Merey, his Lieutenant. He was sitting nearby in the barracks common room, trying in vain to remove a suspicious stain from his dress cloak.

Cyndarius looked up from his barely-started letter. "True... but that sounds so stiff and official."

Merey shrugged indifferently, and Cyndarius returned to the letter, his handwriting careful and slow. He had never been comfortable writing letters, and it usually showed in them sounding overly formal.

'I recently received your kind letter. Although I am uncertain whether my 'knowledge of tactics and strategy' is any better than my abilities at teaching, my assitance is yours, if you feel that it would be a benefit to you.

As my duties here are light at the moment, I would be pleased to visit you, if that would be convenient. Please send word as to when you would be willing to receive guests.

In the Emperor's Name,
Cyndarius Colla
Captain, 103rd Imperial Legion
Praetor of Jaszra'

Merey had been reading over his shoulder. "Gee, Sir, you're so humble it'd make a [censored] [censored] in winter, you are."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your pitiful knowledge of tactics... my sweet departed mother's [censored] [censored] [censored]! Never lost a battle, have you?"

"Oh... I blame that on the quality of my men," the now red-faced captain said, sincerely.

Merey snorted and returned to his battle with the stain, but he couldn't stifle a proud smile, and he worked even harder to make sure his cloak would be properly spotless for the journey.

"Do you expect me to be shocked? They defied royal authority, you did the only possible thing. As for witnessing... I went down to the village nearby and got myself a drink."

He smiled. The truth was it hadn't been pretty; but she was Dunmer, and a strong ruler by nature, and this was how strong rulers behaved.

Goranthir tried. Her name was Onialle, his second cousin on his father's side. He tried to close her face out of his mind, but the more he tried, the more he seemed to think about her. A playmate. A first kiss when neither knew what it meant. Onialle being taken away. Seeing her months later, changed. Still beautiful, but she did not find him so anymore. She called him "an ugly mutt" and wouldn't play with him anymore. It was painful, and he couldn't close it out of his mind.

And he hated knowing that Ahjaar was watching it all, like a silent spectator on his life.

In his mind now, Goranthir was fighting Onialle. They had done that too, in play. He imagined it more serious. It was a false memory, but someone how that blotted it out, and she faded away behind the walls of his mind.

"Maybe a short warm up?" Goranthir suggested.

Give my fond regards to Merey, and look forward to seeing you soon.

Back in Ald Raathim, Loranna grins; she had heard from both Radont and Cyndarius, and she felt much more confident with their knowledge at hand.

Raithen summoned a simple Scamp, then cast his Hand of Hardship spell on it.
The spell had an immediate effect on the Scamp. It sank, it's body structure almost broke in half from supporting it's own weight. The scamp fell to the ground, incapacitated, not even able to lift a limb.

"This is more of a curse," said Raithen as he studied the Scamp. He then mumbled the counter-spell and dismissed the Scamp. "Could do with some work," he shook his head, and began working out some flaws.

The lovers stretched across the soft satin pillows of the Telvanni audience chamber. Lazy smoke drifted up from the censors as Barenziah ran her fingers over Tris’s bare chest. It was a well-practiced touch, and she knew it would be pleasant, but every man had a slightly different reaction.

“You truly are beautiful,” she smiled through half-closed eyes. “At some point, though, Kena Killedael will want his audience chamber back …”

"They're both distance fighters be careful!" Goranthir cried. He held his daedric dai-katana up and letting loose a wave of powerful, concusive force at Anya, Falco, and (as he was with them) Raithen.

"You're no the only agile one!" Anya shouted as she rolled out of the way, feeling her armor shake along her from the blast. She jumped up and let off two more arrows at Goranthir while she started sprinting towards him. "Falco, keep Isidor occupied for me."

The arrows had not been aimed very carefully, and Goranthir found it easy to dodge one, and the other glanced off the ebony armor. He charged toward Anya, not quite as quickly as he could, prepared to dodge anymore arrows.

Tris had been holding his breath; now he laughed too.

When he got his breath back, he said, "I'm afraid if you want someone to pry secrets of state from you, you've come to the wrong man. I have all sorts of inappropriate questions. I want to know what Tiber Septim was like in bed. I want to know... but never mind, I talk too much.

"Poor King Helseth! It's just... he has the population of Morrowind thinking he's a human-lover, and the population of Wayrest thinking he's a poser. I thought he must be too smart for that. Which left the possibility that he thought it might be useful to appear... something of a buffoon... or that he really didn't like his ears very much. Which I could understand. It's been difficult for Goranthir, growing up in Summerset, looking as he looks."

Tris glanced at her sideways, trying to gauge her mood. His own was ebullient, triumphant; but it would be easy to trespass.

Good, it's working. Anya fired a few more, careful to not deplete her quiver quickly though. As the three got closer to each other, Anya slung her bow shouting "Keep him busy Falco." and waved her hands, disappearing into the noon light.

"When I was a little girl, I lived in Skyrim," she said. "I know how that is, but the Altmer are much crueler than the Nords. I think he was very lonely. Probably he still is, though he certainly enjoys your company, and that of your friends."

Goranthir fired another concussive blast at the last location where Anya had been standing. It had a much wider effect than a blind sword swing.

Anya's fleet foot kept the blast from hitting square on, but she was hit from the area effect from behing. Anya flung foward and hit the ground. Blast, I'll need to be quicker, I only have a short time like this.

Using the invisibility to get up, knowing that a skilled ranger would follow the impressions on the ground, she hoped that her small frame and light weight would keep that to a minimum.

Trying to circle around Goranthir, she readied her bow. She aimed at a spot where the ebony armor seperated to allow movement, waiting until she had the perfect shot. She became visible once more as she let the arrow fly. Hit the mark, come on...

"They were cruel," Tris said. "Anyone with eyes can see that. How... how anyone could say a harsh word to him I can't even imagine. And he's... gentle."

He explained to Barenziah, briefly, how the group had fought the day before, and how Goranthir had left, rather than watch.

"I talked to him, about necessity, and experience, and he understands, I believe. But things are harder for him than for other people. I know how he feels; Dragon, my sword teacher, used to make fun of me for flinching when my sword was about to strike. It wasn't until I saw someone I care about die that I was cured of that. But Goranthir, he's in a whole different place. He'll be ready when it comes to that, I have no doubt; but I don't think it will ever be easy for him."

Goranthir could hear her circling, but he couldn't pinpoint her location.

He made a strange noise, deep in the back of his throat, a clicking.

For an instant, he saw her as she fired the arrow, and he swiveled, and the arrow stuck in his arm, causing him to drop his sword.

An inhuman scream burst forth behind Anya.

The axe probably would have cleaved him in two had it not been for Falco's quik roll. It was unfortunate for him the axe pinned his cloak to the ground and Falco could only crouch and not stand due to this.

"I always keep a sheild arround myself; in my old age I may not be able to take lot's of physical damage."

"Lotus!" she called out anxiously. She turned around at what was behind her as the cliff racer flew in. Leaping back, she tried to extend the distance to what it was attacking her while hoping to throw Goranthir off by leaping towards him like that.

Pulling her dagger out to be ready, she watched Lotus begin to glow as he prepared his fireball.

"Funny," Barenziah said, but her expression showed that it was not. "Watching someone he cared about die had the exact opposite effect on Goranthir. He was much bolder before, even though he was a bit of an outcast at court. My daughter tells me he was with a cousin of his when she fell to her death from the castle roof. It was an accident, but I think it made him realize that elves, even in his family, are not immortal ..."

Posted by: Argonians rule Today, 12:12 AM

Falco made Hopped to his feet, now that Isidor had removed his axe. Unfortunately his subsequent leap backwards wan't fast enough and Isidor's axe just made a rather large cut on his snout, causing a lot of blood but nothing serious. Falco's much faster saber made a quik slash at Isidor's stomach... Not waiting to see Isidor's reaction Falco ran like hell towards Anya to assist her, but not before being kicked hard by Isidor.

There was nothing behind her, but a row of Alit, howling and watching from the woods.

Goranthir took the momentary distraction to dive forward at the same time Anya was leaping at him. With luck, he would throw her off balance. At the very least, Lotus's fireball would roast both of them together.

"Blast it you tricky ranger!" Anya felt him collide into her with a jarring halt. "Lotus no!" But it was too late and the fire ball sailed to that area. Dropping her bow and dagger, she readied her spear and and used it to block most of the attack on her with it's resit fire, though she was almost too slow and her left arm's armor singe black.

Those days of training with you actually paid off. Anya rolled up into a ready stance with her spear, watching Falco sprint towards her. She focused on Goranthir to see what had happened to him, her left arm aching painfully.

"You seem to have gotten over your initial reluctance to fight."

Running her free hand along the side of his armor, she aimed at the soft spot the armor didn't cover the armpit. In her hand was the Dagger of Judgment she had dropped earlier when Goranthir tackled her, which she had grabbed during the forward roll she had just done.
