Deeper in Oblivion than ever, the Mad God pauses a moment, counts on his fingers and then his toes, subtracts twelve, nods sagely, and then continues on ... so much more that needs to be done for ... it all it to work ...

Allerleirauh looked up from her conversation with Loranna. She was certain she'd heard thunder. Or was she imagining things?

"Finally," she said, "You have something that sounds like a plan."

"Finally," she said, "You have something that sounds like a plan."

Loranna-Azura frowns a little, then sighs.

" ... Multitasking used to be much, much easier," she says. "Of course, I had free access to my servants then, unlike now. That's also on the list of things to fix."

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 20 2004, 10:13 AM

"So, where do you intend to begin?"

"So, where do you intend to begin?"

"To the east," Loranna-Azura says. "To Morrowind."

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 20 2004, 10:19 AM

"That's the logical place to begin," Allerleirauh said. "With Seht and Ayem dead, and Vehk departed, it's only a matter of time before the populace returns to their ancient worship. They might even hail you as a savior."

She paused. "I won't help you, of course. But I won't stand in your way."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 20 2004, 10:22 AM

Loranna-Azura frowns.

" ... Somehow this doesn't quite feel like the last time," she says, her expression a mix of emotions.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 20 2004, 10:27 AM

"I believe, as Vehk did, that there is no reason to worship either Daedra or Aedra," Allerleirauh said. "If the Dunmer are on the verge of emerging from their long childhood, I won't help you to imprison them in the nursery again."

Loranna-Azura's lips twitch for a second, drawing into a somewhat painful-looking grimace; her eyes flirt with blue green as this happens ...

" ... Assuming, of course," she says, in a cold tone, "that they are, as you put it, actually at the cusp of their childhood."

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 20 2004, 10:33 AM

"The cusp of something," Allerleirauh said. "Just what has not been revealed yet."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 20 2004, 10:35 AM

"It sounds like as good a time as any to find out," Loranna-Azura notes. "Sooner or later none of us will have much free time on our hands at all."

"It sounds like as good a time as any to find out," Loranna-Azura notes. "Sooner or later none of us will have much free time on our hands at all."

A grim thought... and probably true...

Allerleirauh decided to get something to eat, and give her mind a rest, even if her body didn't need one. She crooked a finger at the barmaid, ordered, and found a table in a back corner.

Posted by: Loranna Oct 20 2004, 10:49 AM

... I will try not to be as tyranical as I have been, this time, Loranna-Azura says quietly to Allerleirauh. ... And thank you for being honest with me. It is ... comforting.

Loranna-Azura rises and walks out into the night, her posture tired but assured and regal.

Posted by: Sheogorath Oct 20 2004, 10:52 AM

The bar wench, whose body and face suggested a girl, but whose eyes are much, much older, the eyes of The Crone, brings Allerleirauh her drink. It is perfect.

"I wouldn't worry about things much if I was you, pretty lady," she says. "They has a ways of working themselves out, you know?"

The wench returns to the bar, and staring at herself in the mirror.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 20 2004, 11:09 AM

Allerleirauh ate her meal slowly. The hair on the back of her spine was prickling; was that the wind blowing the damned door open again?

It was impossible to be wary of everything. That way, madness lay.

OOC: Eep... seems the last thread grew by twenty-two pages while I was asleep. Much as I want to be part of it, this thing's just growing too fast...

Something big was going to happen. He could feel the raw power in the air.

What was it that had been said?

"To the East. To Morrowind"

Darlantan ran upstairs and, fast as he could, stuffed all his things into his backpack.

He spoke an arcane word. And teleported.

They arrived in Rihad, it had been a quick journey, and Baxter thanked Kynareth for any aid he may have offered. Yet, now they would be riding on land, with all haste, lest they be waylaid. A long and uncomfortable journey, yet neccessary, Baxter thought. Perhaps even beneficial, the legendary Scourge in Cyrodil, perhaps it could be used effectively to prevent any invasion, yet the Scourge, like all artifacts, is stolen often. How long will it remain in the keeping of the Empire?

*After having caught a disasterous sickness One is bed-ridden and quite weak...Ami had called on the healers yesterday and they had semi-remedied One's affliction...Ami had paid them for their time and set for quite a while at One's bedside...not being the type to wait for long Ami excuses herself and makes her way to the local Mages Guild...wherein she purchases several Alchemical ingredients...*

"What do you mean you dont have any Ginko?" Ami stated "...fine then let me buy those two parts of Aloe"

"Look lady...we're not the Temple or the Cult we're mages...we dont exactly have much call to formulate healing potions" said the clerk

"Then please explain to me where I can get some" Ami said

"I dont know...here...take this Cure Disease potion and leave me to my studies" the clerk said sternly

*The Healers had given One more Cure Disease potions than any other treatment...and they all seemed to fail...Ami had decided if One was to be better anytime soon she would have to find specific ingredients and heal him herself...now she had the Aloe which was an essential part of the potion...she only needed to find Red and Yellow berries, pure water, a Unicorn Horn and lastly Nymph's Hair...she knew all but the last would be easy enough to get..."Nymph's Hair was going to be the challenge" she thought as she sets off...*

Louis failed to sleep during the night, he simply sat in the hall against the door to his room. Oddly, no one noticed, but he was able to overhear much conversation before dozing of for a few hours early in the morn. He yawned and got back up, walking to the barkeep, ordering himself some water and bread, and 2 eggs, just as he had the morning before.

Hakan had fallen asleep the last night on the front step of the tavern outside. He hadn't intended to but the mystery drink he had quite a bid of was rather potent and made him more tired than usual. He woke up very late in the morning, though dew was still about, and put on an amulet, making him vanish. As a breeze blew open the door slightly he saw that as being a well enough time to head back into the tavern, footsteps from heavy sturdy boots could be heard but none seen. He sat at a table where he had left his shield sit by the day before, and released his axe from his belt, setting it next to the shield. Taking off his amulet he reappeared in plain sight, and called for the barkeep to bring him a drink. He found an odd humor in playing disappear-reappear games with observers at times...

In the Order fortress of Fionnovar Tarik receives his orders. He leaves and rides with all speed.

Posted by: B Oct 21 2004, 12:05 AM

Once again, the quaint tavern is filled with noise and a thick cloud of smoke. Several patrons are seated at the tables, drinking and talking.

As B walks resolutely to the bar, the smoke dissipates in his path. Several pairs of eyes are fixated on this grey cloak as he approaches the bar.

B steps up to the counter and motions to the bartender. When the bartender comes over to the Altmer Psijic, he looks into B’s eyes and is unable to look away. Now caught in the Altmer's stare, he is compelled to obey B’s every command.

"I was wondering if you might assist me," B said, removing a small package and placing it on the counter.

Mesmerized by the grey cloak’s words, the bartender nods in agreement.

"Thank you, my good man. I’m sure you are familiar with the lovely Nord woman Allerleirauh. I have a package and a letter for her." The entranced bartender nods once again as B continues giving his orders, never breaking eye contact. "Please be sure that she gets it. And no peeking."

As the bartender tucks the package and letter safely behind the counter, the mysterious Psijic is seen leaving the tavern. The bartender has no idea why he should care so much, but he is going to guard that package with his life.

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 21 2004, 12:13 AM

Louis sitting at the end of the bar notices a few feet away an Altmer talking to the barkeep. He thought he should listen in for it seemed odd the manner of his step and speech. He would have easily become as hypnotized as the bartender was if not for his magickal abilities, however he was curious as to the contents of the note...He was sure, however, the man at the bar would, by no means, let him see it.

Hakan paid little attention to what was going on around him, simply relaxing in a chair at a corner of the room.

Posted by: niceguy5 Oct 21 2004, 12:28 AM

As the Altmer walked out of the tavern Solom walk back in and a bottle was in his hands, he sat at a table in the middle of the room taking a swig from the bottle

Darius, showing a side of himself not often seen, is currently helping the protesting Melanus finish setting up a table.

"My Lord, really, this isn't proper," Melanus protests.

"Yes, well Elaine's busy in the back explaining to the innkeep why he shouldn't throw us out for me punching him in the face last night," Lord Darius says with a grimace, "and the rest of the servants are helping the cook prepare tonight's dinner, so I figured I'd chip in a bit. Kind of my fault you're short-handed and all, you know."

"Sir, you're my Lord; if you feel like increasing the workload then that's your perogerative," Melanus mutters. "Even if the manner of which might be somewhat unorthodox ..."

"Meaning I was blooming stupid," Lord Darius grins.

"I never said that my Lord."

"That's quite all right; I said it already anyway."

" ... So you have, my Lord ..." Melanus finds himself looking slightly over Darius's shoulder.

"???" Darius raises his eyebrows.

" ... Sorry my Lord; just noting the return of Prince Azura," Melanus says, nodding over to the front door. Darius turns and Melanus lets a fleeting look of chagrined relief cross his face.

Loranna steps into the bar, now dressed in the simple traveling clothes of a typical adventurer, as well as a leather cuirass and boots; a slim shortsword lies sheathed on her hip and a small shield is strapped to the pack on her back. Her hair is held out of her face by a simple, functional tiara. She looks around a bit, her eyes first being drawn to the corner in which Allerleirauh had sat earlier ...

" ... I say, she rather looks like she's not planning on staying much tonight," Darius comments, heading over. "My Lady, welcome back; ... is aught amiss?"

Loranna looks over at Darius, blinking a bit, then smiling " ... No; things are fine for now. As much as they can be at least."

Posted by: FireMaster Oct 21 2004, 12:40 AM

Odd thumping can be heard coming from an upstairs room...also someone or something upstairs pleades that a door be unlocked...but who (or what) is it?..and why is it here?

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 12:41 AM

"Good evening everyone." Arynel says walking into the tavern.

Posted by: Solin Oct 21 2004, 12:43 AM

Solin looks up from his book noting the arival of Arynel, "Greetings," he says before returning to reading.

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 21 2004, 12:45 AM

Louis heads to an isolated seat and begins meditating free of distraction.

Hakan leans back in his chair against the wall taking a nap.

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 12:46 AM

Darius gives Arynel a friendly wave. "Welcome back friend; how does the evening find you?"

Loranna smiles at Arynel. "Hi again," she says, going over to the Breton. " ... You've been picking the spots where we Princes like to congregate to linger in lately, haven't you?"

"Yes, I do." Arynel answers. "What ever could it be?"

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 12:55 AM

"Hmm ..." Loranna muses. "Well, it could just be a patron who is hung over and somehow locked himself in his room ... or it could be a trap set up by Molag Bal, who's waiting gleefully inside the room waiting to pounce upon and ravish any mortal foolish enough to investigate ..."

"Funny, I was going to suggest you look into it," Loranna says with a grin. Her expression becomes very soft and girlish.

"Oh, won't you help a poor young damsel in need of a hero, stalwart traveler?" she says in a sweetly alluring tone, one obviously learned from her years in the tavern. "Our hands are soft and ill suited to the needs of action ... of this sort."

Loranna does a credible job of holding back her grin.

Posted by: Dumbkid Oct 21 2004, 01:01 AM

"Perhaps if I were more inclined to adventures." Arynel laughed. "If it becomes necessary, of course I will do everything in my power to help."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 01:10 AM

Loranna sighs and shakes her head, smiling. "Oh well; let's leave Bal up there alone for a bit longer then," she decides.

Her face growing more serious, she says " ... Though there might be something you can do to help me now, Arynel, which I'd greatly appreciate ..."

Posted by: Dumbkid Oct 21 2004, 01:11 AM

"Yes, what is it?" The Breton answers Loranna

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 01:13 AM

Solom leans closer to the two trying to figure out what they were saying

Posted by: Solin Oct 21 2004, 01:16 AM

From his corner table Solin raises a curious eye brow, being a Dunmer he is somewhat interested in affairs concerning his homeland.

Loranna smiles. " ... Can you tell me what it's like?" she asks. "I'm kind of curious about it ..."

"I honestly do not know much." Arynel began. "It is an island, dominated by a giant volcanoe called Red Mountain. It is mostly barren waistland, but has some fertile areas."

Posted by: niceguy5 Oct 21 2004, 01:21 AM

Solom thinks to himself Why would she ask Arynel about Morrowind, dose she not she that there are sevrel Dunmer hear. He leans in closer

"The Dunmer?" Arynel answerd. "They worshipped the tribunal until recently, some may still. They do not generally like foreigners, outlanders, as they call them."

Posted by: Solin Oct 21 2004, 01:26 AM

Intrigued Solin rises on approaches the conversing pair. Interrupting, Solin says, "I'm afraid you might be mistaken, Arynel. You seemed to have described Vvardenfell, Morrowind is much bigger framed on the west by the Velothi Mountains it streches all the way to the sea of dreams and from the swamps of Argonia to the Sea of Ghosts in the north. The northern regions may be a bit blasted by ash but the South is reasonably fertile."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 01:26 AM

"Because I know him better than others in here," Loranna says absently to no one in particular.

" ... I see," she says. " ... Though, well, the Nerevarine was an outlander, right? So maybe they have a slightly more friendly opinion now?"

She looks around, noting the Dunmer in the room, and grins somewhat sheepishly.

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 01:27 AM

"Yes, you are right." Arynel says to Solin. "Perhaps you have some information that may be usefull?"

The Breton turns to Loranna: "I suppose they may."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 01:28 AM

Loranna smiles prettily at Solin, inviting him to conitnue.

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:34 AM

Then the tavern door opens and Tarik walks in and goes up to Arynel and Loranna, he says,"Arynel,Loranna, i have news if you would hear it."

Posted by: Solin Oct 21 2004, 01:36 AM

"I might," Solin responds and then at Loranna's behest he continues, "A few Dunmer might be more open to foreigners, xenophobia isn't overcome in a single night, you know. There are groups that have been and still quite open to the Empire, the great house Hlaalu is one such, and of course there are "outlanders" that have moved and set their life up in Dunmer cities. From my own experiences I'd suggest you keep your eyes open and be wary, however, it isn't horribly unsafe if you keep to the right mer."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 01:38 AM

"Hmm, I see," Loranna says. "Thanks ..."

Turning to Tarik, she smiles. "Hi again; yes?" she says, turning to Solin and giving him a quick, apologetic smile.

Posted by: Solin Oct 21 2004, 01:39 AM

With a polite nod to Arynel Solin returns to the corner table where his things still lay strewn about.

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:40 AM

"Yes, sorry to interrupt but i have urgent news from Morrowind since you seem so interested.The Order has intercepted a courier carrying a message from that man who fled the tavern after the deadric possession. His message was to a coven at a ruin known as Yansirramus, they are planning to attack this tavern to capture you."

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 01:43 AM

Arynel turns to Tarik. "Surely you are misinformed, I cannot see why a coven of witches would be interested in this place."

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:44 AM

"Unless they were worshippers of the deadra that posessed here, they would wish to rectify their mistake, and the Order's information is rarely false."

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 01:45 AM

"Perhaps," Arynel began. "I often find though, that the daedra do not much care when things like this happen. If there is a problem though, I'm sure Harg can take care of it. Relax now, and enjoy yourself."

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:46 AM

"As you wish, but do not be surprised when we must deal with them."Orders a Cryodillic Brandy and listens to the present converstion.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 21 2004, 01:47 AM

Allerleirauh returned to the tavern after stretching her legs outside. Loranna seemed deep in conversation; no doubt planning her next move.

She slumped against the bar; she was going to have to stop drinking so much. But water wasn't fresh here, as it was in Skyrim; all sorts of nasty little beasts lived in it...

The bartender had a package for her; and a note. From Master B, the psijiic. The note explained that B had been called to Sentinel; the package contained a magic journal and quill which would allow them to stay in touch with each other, and a ring, said to have belonged to the Nerevarine.

She felt... what did she feel? Touched. But more than that. Surely she was reading too much into his intentions. She thought, for the first time in decades, of her husband in his grave. And after a moment slipped the ring over her finger. It seemed to hold some small magic.

What was this Tarik fellow saying? An attack? A straightforward bout of butchery would be a welcome distraction.

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:50 AM

As if being able to read Allie's mind he continued,"Yes, the Order of Invisibles has intercepted a message meant for a coven of witches they wish to capture our dear lady, Loranna here."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 01:53 AM

Loranna's eyes start taking on green highlights.

" ... I don't know much about such matters but I'd rather not have others get hurt because of me any more," she sighs. " ... Someone alert Darius and Samson; we don't have Harg with us due to Scourge needing to be guarded but we shall have to make due."

Seeing Allie walk in, Loranna says " ... Allie is probably a good person to talk to on this too; let her at least wet her throat first and then someone ask her for input."

Turning to Tarik, Loranna asks "What specifics do we know? Is this a large coven or small one, and how much can we rely on the local guards to intervene on our behalf?"

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:55 AM

"There was not much the courier could tell us until we had to get, what is the word, ah yes,brutal, yeah. He was returning to his home so his message was already delivered, but they plan on attacking this tavern to capture you for some strange ritual."

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 01:56 AM

"I'm sure the guards can take care of it." Arynel said.

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:57 AM

"Only if the coven has no support from its patron deadra, which if it is on its way, and the courier lied for his own death wish, i think that unlikely."

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 21 2004, 01:58 AM

"The question is," Allie said, "Whether we want to take them on here, or at the source. I lean towards the source, because of the many innocents here who might be hurt. But if your information is false, it may be a ruse to lure the powerful away from the tavern so that it will be undefended."

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 01:58 AM

"Well I'm afraid we're in a bit of trouble then, aren't we?" Arynel said. "I, personally, do not have much sway over Daedra."

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 01:59 AM

"Unless it is a ruse, in which case i will bend my head for the cutting of my throat, i also vote to move against the source."

The Breton listens but does not answer.

Posted by: Loranna Oct 21 2004, 02:02 AM

Loranna sighs.

"If they're after me then the best way to protect the innocent is to have me be where they aren't," she says. " ... I have a mark set in a safe haven, but me simply using it right now doesn't deter the coven unless they can mystically sense my presence - and they may be inclined to attack anyway if I just up and leave."

She frowns. " ... Can we lead them instead of them leading us?" she asks. "Have me start fleeing town and being seen to draw their attention, possibly have some of us here then strike while they're exposed? That would keep the tavern and hopefully the town safe."

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 21 2004, 02:03 AM

Allie smiled. "If it's a ruse, I'll remember that offer.

"Daedra can be sliced up just like anything else, at least when they enter our world," she told Arynel. "You have no skill with weapons or magic? Perhaps your talent is well suited for keeping the people here from panicking like chickens in a henhouse invaded by a fox."

Posted by: Solin Oct 21 2004, 02:03 AM

Blithely oblvious to the conversation, Solin pours himself a small glass of the brandy he still hadn't finnished from the previous night while countinuing to work at his books.

Posted by: Arynel Oct 21 2004, 02:03 AM

"Perhaps, it is something to consider." Arynel says, listening to loranna speak.

Posted by: Tarik Oct 21 2004, 02:04 AM

"It could work, the risk would be immense, but the risk would be more if we stayed put."

Posted by: niceguy5 Oct 21 2004, 02:06 AM

"Sir, Lord Duaris what do you think about this?"

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 21 2004, 02:08 AM

"Loranna, of the available options, staying put and defending a single location, going to a known location to attack them, or trailing across countryside which they know and we don't using you as bait, I find the last the least attractive."

" ... Well, Samson is certainly available to help whatever plans you are all making," he says, coming over with a thoughtful frown. "As for what to do ... well, we really don't have much to fortify this tavern against an attack, especially one involving magic and summoed beasts. The pre-emptive assault or the leading them on a wild goose chase are are only real options."

Samson wanders over. "So how do we catch their attention if we want to lead them off? And more imprtantly, where do we lead them to? Few of us are native to this area and they'd probably know the ground better than we do."

Loranna frowns, and Allie can see the girl is feeling strained ...

" ... You have a point Allie," she says, her eyes slowly creeping to blue green. "From the sounds of it taking the fight to them is probably the best option ..."

Looking to Tarik, she says " ... Maybe; as I said, I've set a mark already in a secure place. The worry is more keeping everyone else as safe as possible."

Samson is currently twirling a longsword and chopping an apple into very fine slices - while the apple is falling in mid air.

Skewering the slices right through the middle, he offers Darius and a man who is likely the mayor some apple slices. "Course, back home we like to dry these out and pepper them with some spices ..." he says casually, his teeth glinting.

The mayor's eyes uncross and he looks a little intimidated; Darius claps a friendly hand on his shoulder and says "Heh, that irrepresible Redguard spirit and humor, huh? Now then, as I was saying, we are ready to make a generous offer to the town coffers ..."

Witches Ruins

The Breton boy leads the party along an old dirt path, partially obscured by the grass. Despite his cheerful counterance he tends to start at most sounds, betraying his underlying nervousness.

Eventually, the party sees a large, moss-covered rock in a clearing; a large wooden door set within. A couple of tents and the remnants of a firepit stand near the rock. There is no obvious sign of people nearby, but the firepit is still smoking, suggesting the fire was buring till recently.

Horses start to get skittish; Loranna-Azura frowns. " ... They're waiting, it seems ..."

Tavern

Samson completes his rounds, having assigned every hired hand to guard a door, window, or other entrance. He prowls the middle of the tavern, looking impatient.

Darius and Melanus stand in a corner, conferring.

Allerleirauh hopped off her horse, well away from the ruins. She wrapped the reins around a nearby branch. To the boy, she said, "You've done well, now get home safely.

"Swords, rather than lances," she said to Rilis, smiling. "I've yet to meet a horse that liked stairs. There's usually only the one door to these places; we'll have to go in with them expecting us, against spells, more than likely. Is there anyone here who can cast protective magic?"

She knelt, searching the ground for footprints and tracks. But it seemed the witches used this path often; she could not tell if the tracks leading to and from the village were fresh, or old.

Rilis dismounts, dropping his bow and lance.

"I suppose it begins now." Arynel said.

The Breton stepped outside and began to sing:

In the spring of the year
Doth propriety disappear
In the courts and the ports
Of the Bay.
Drinking new beer,
Everybody feels queer
And the Earls and the churls
Go astray.
The bee and the bird
Don't have to tell us a word.
Our bodies for naughties
Are prime.
If you haven't heard,
You can let yourself be lured
For the youth, for things uncouth,
It is time.

Oh, it's lovely to sit in a field, harvested into rows
It's lovelier still to do the same not wearing any clothes.

"We are five, Rilis, but as I'm not interested in stealing from Breton peasants, you may have my share. Unless we find something of legendary interest, which seems unlikely in this small place."

Ruins

From each tent, come forth a Clanfear and a Daedroth; the green-skinned monsters snarl at the party.

The two Clanfears charge forward, eager to rend and tear soft flesh; the Daedroth raise their hands to fire poison bolts at Allie and Rilis.

Tavern

If someone has good ears, they can hear a soft, femenine voice from outside one of the windows.

"Aryan, Aryan? It's me dear; come, open the window for me ..."

One of the hired help blinks, looking a bit dazed.

[B]The other White Haven[B]

Arynel skips through town, strumming his lute and singing:

People of the Bay bless
The flowered court of Wayrest
For showing us the gentle way of sin
The bonny Dark Elf queen
Likes to see and to be seen
With cobblers, thieves,
And tavernkeeps,
And slaves, and fish-er-men.
In the court of Lainlyn,
Right upon the mainland
With sex, the whole place is in a whirl.
The Baroness likes to play
With men who come her way,
While the Baron likes the little boys and girls.

Oh, it's lovely to give your lady a kiss upon her nose
It's lovelier still to do the same not wearing any clothes.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 21 2004, 04:07 AM

Allie smiled. This was the good part. She realised, suddenly, like lightning illuminating the clouds, that she actually hated parties.

The way to deal with Daedroth was to rush them; and this she did now, plunging her heavy blade up to the hilt in infernal flesh.

She trusted that Loranna was following her instructions to stay close; but the best way to keep her safe was to kill these things as quickly as possible.

Louis gives a slight laugh at Sekka, "take no offense friend, but we know you are no enemy of us, and the recent situation is very dire..the boy was simply trying to fulfill his given duty."

"When's someone going to explain things to me?" asked Hakan sternly.

Solom quickly casted sanctuary on everybody "Be perpared guys" lighting were traveling down his fingers. He charged taking two at a time one hand was shooting lighting at a daedroth and the other aswell but they fought against it charging back at Solom. He stoped the lighting attacks and backed a feel steps and gather fire within his hands it was growing larger and larger and when the two daedroths were 5 feet away he casted it sending them both in to the trees. And starting shooting more fireballs at the daedroths

Arynel turns to see a hand, and hears a voice.

"What is it?" The Breton asks.

Hakan laughs, "You mean to say a battle goes on without me? Blast it all...what witches are we talking about?"

Louis answers his friend's question, "Apparently, some witches and warlocks, serving one of the Daedra, seek to destroy Azura, or at least capture her...either way it does not bid well...i wish i had gone to assist, however, if the town comes under seige, they will need help here too."

Those who are observant enough can faintly see a hulking shadow, waiting in the gloom of a nearby alcove amongst the fallen rocks. Balbar Gro-Turok watches anxiously to see who he shall be the victor of this fight and who he shall have to deal with next...

Sekka starts to sing his own song (quite out of tune) in a corner of the room

One day i sat upon a lake
in my boat, made of snake

Rilis grabbed his warhammer and swung, smashing in the skull of a Clannfear. He decided to drop the hammer and drew his sword, trying to slash his way towards Loranna.

Posted by: niceguy5 Oct 21 2004, 04:18 AM

While fighting them off Solom founded he was seperated from the group and was quickly surrounded by Clanfears "See you in obliovion scum" he put his hands onto the ground then shouted out some words and ice started frezzeing the ground of a radius of 100 feet frezzing the Clanfears. Solom quickly levitated to not get frozing himself then casted fireballs at his frozen targets.

One Clanfear whirls, seeing Solom, and leaps, screaching; the other goes to tangle with Rilis, hollaring to high heaven.

Allie's Daedroth shows its dislike of sharp pointy things by bleeding profusely on her, and opening its mouth to bite her head off. Its fellow Daedroth throws poison at Loranna-Azura, who throws herself out of the way and starts calling upon magic.

Tavern

"Aryan, open the window ..." the voice calls gently, and the dazed boy moves to open the shutters.

Arynel sees a smiling Breton female beckoning to him; she's holding a dress up in one hand and waving one shapely and bare leg at him.

The Clannfear leaped at Rilis, who promptly impaled it on his sword. Suddenly, Rilis was hit with a wave of immense cold, giving a Daedroth an oppurtunity to rip a gash through the chainmail on Rilis's chest. He killed the thing a few seconds later, and promised to hurt whoever cast that spell.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 21 2004, 04:31 AM

Allie's objective was to keep the attention of the daedra focused firmly on her. This she did by splitting their heads, like kindling. It worked pretty well.

Magic? What magic did Loranna know? Had she discovered a way to draw on Azura's knowledge?

The door to the ruins slowly opens ...

Tavern

Arynel gets the dress tossed at him - to cover the casting of a charm spell. "Hi! Take a poor cold girl to the tavern to help warm her bones and soft skin?" she asks sweetly.

Aryan is opening the shutter, and Samson notices. "FOOL! Keep it closed!" he thunders - as a bolt of magic streaks in, and a Dremora forms in the middle of the tavern, Dwarven axe held high.

Hakan is stirred to attention and grabs his shield and heavy axe.

Hakan almost topples over laughing when he sees someone had summoned a Scamp...in his enjoyment, he throws his flame pulsing Nordic Silver Battleaxe at the Dremora, and draws from underneath his shield, a Daedric Shortsword.

"Everyone get back in position," Allie snapped. "Loranna, never let your guard down."

She faced the door, sword at the ready. Whatever they planned to cast, she was more than likely to absorb or reflect it.

The Ruins

Balbar scratches his chin as the last daedroth is dispatched rather quickly and what seems to be very little effort. Knowing his position to be imminantly compromised, the orc steps out from the shadows.

"I make myself known, and those that crash about so loudly in the wilds should do the same when they encroach on one's camp. I am Balbar Gro-Turok and I must warn you of entering these ruins." The orc is large even by orcish standards and pulls back the cowl of his hood to reveal an extremely disfigured face. He appears to have suffered extreme burns to most of his visible body, but despite this his voice is smooth and distinguished. It is obvious the orc commands a considerable amount of magicka.

"I have come here for seclusion as the presence of this structure tends to ward off the unwelcome visitor. You must either be ignorant or determined to come here. May I ask your purpose before you venture forth?" Lacking clearly defined lips, the orcs toothy grin is used to great effect in presenting himself in as non threatening manner as possible. (EDIT: If not a bit disturbing)

Arynel sees the woman reach out her hand to take his; she smiles and casts a small Absorb Willpower on Arynel to help make sure he's charmed.

"What's your name?" she asks as she comes out of the shadows - wearing a long tunic.

The Dremora gets hit hard by the axe and blade, and drops his axe, which neatly biscects the scamp. However, the scamp has the last laugh, for the Dremors falls to its knees and accidetally impales its thighs on the scamps claws. The Dremora shrieks in what is probably pain and rage ...

Samson rushes to close the shutters and gets a poison bolt in the face for his trouble; he gasps and coughs; the hired help are panicking.

Balbar lets out a hissing sigh and shrugs despondantly.

"Very well. There's nothing I can do to stop you I see, but could you please keep the noise to a minimum? I do live around here, and the screams of the dying are not particularly conducive to sleep.

Allie's flaming shortsword swiftly burns the greenness coming for her feet; the smell of burnt moss fills the air.

Rilis's lance crashes through the door and sinks into something soft, which also seems to sieze the lance and pull on it.

The broken planks of the door begin growing, jagged points lancing out in the directions they point; more green moss surges through the broken part of the door and surges for Rilis.

Loranna-Azura tosses her potion, which shatters and releases a bluish liquid; the moss near the liquid seems to revert to inert matter, but more is pouring through ...

"There would be a source inside that feeds this ..." Loranna-Azura says.
