"Well if you're not gonna drink it, can I?" asked Belkin, audibally Yawning from the lack of sleep.

Lloden laughed again, and tossed him the bottle. "We need as many awake people as possible, right?"

 

[IFS]

Noticing how tired Lloden looked Dro'Araaj offered him a potion.
"Drink this, it should make you feel awake,"

"Er. My thanks, sera, but the more complex potions have a habit of failing on me. I have..." He dug about in his bags, muttering. [small]"I know I bought it somewhere, I haven't used it. It has to be-"[/small] "Ah-ha. Here. A root the ashlanders use to keep themselves awake. My thanks, I had forgotten I had this." He tore a piece of it off, and chewed at the tough fibres.
"So, do you simply carry potions for any occasion you come across?"

"Well if you're not gonna drink it, can I?" asked Belkin, audibally Yawning from the lack of sleep.

"Go ahead," Dro'Araaj replied, handing him the potion, "be careful in too high of doses it can cause hallucinations."

As they approach the border, there is a sign: {Now entering Valenwood: Aldmeri Dominion Territory} Enthir pointed towards the bridge connecting the two regions ''there, everyone, let's go'' Joncis saw the bridge ahead too, it must have been around for centuries but not very well maintained ''C'mon everyone, it's either this or wading throught the Strid!''
As they made their way across the bridge Enthir notices something, 2 guards on the opposite side.

Anruin chuckled "That won't be a problem, trust me."

Anruin turns around and notices the orc is snarling at his general direction. Anruin looked around

'Should I have got a gift for him too? Don't know how I pissed him off'

 

[IFS]

"Everyone needs a hobby, Dro'Araaj likes to experiment, and sometimes his creations prove useful,"

Lloden laughed. "I suspect it's more than sometimes. I knew an old Breton like you, once. The neighborhood urchins called him a madman, but he was a brilliant alchemist. He took something of a liking to me, and I often hunted ingredients for him." The old man had been one of his favorite people in Sadrith Mora. My father will pay for that, and many other things besides. His smile died on his lips. "My apologies, sera, I have a tendency to ramble. From where do you hail?"

"Elsweyr of course, though this one has not been home in many years," Dro'Araaj sighed "Have you ever been there?"

 

[SamtheDeathclaw]

"Elsweyr of course, though this one has not been home in many years," Dro'Araaj sighed "Have you ever been there?"

"More times than I can count, but still not as many as I'd like. It's a very lovely land, full of old things and new things. And things trying to kill you, mustn't forget that." He laughed once more. He laughed more than most people thought the norm for dark elves. "And believe me, I can count pretty high. I haven't been in a few years, though. What made you leave, if you'll excuse my asking?"

Lloden laughed again, and tossed him the bottle. "We need as many awake people as possible, right?"

"Go ahead," Dro'Araaj replied, handing him the potion, "be careful in too high of doses it can cause hallucinations."

Belkin caught the bottle and placed it on his belt, removing his helmet and carefully placing it in his bag before retaking the bottle into his hands. He removed the stopper from it, taking a quick swig of it, a strong bitter taste coming from its contents, before replacing the stopper and placing it on his belt once again.

"So how strong an hallucination are we talking here?" asked Belkin to the Khajiit, "Are we talking 'Deer where their are none', 'Rats the size of Ale kegs' or.........Argonian Levels?" he said, turing his head to where Bites-Her-Tail was.

As they approach the border, there is a sign: {Now entering Valenwood: Aldmeri Dominion Territory} Enthir pointed towards the bridge connecting the two regions ''there, everyone, let's go'' Joncis saw the bridge ahead too, it must have been around for centuries but not very well maintained ''C'mon everyone, it's either this or wading throught the Strid!''
As they made their way across the bridge Enthir notices something, 2 guards on the opposite side.

"Let's kill them and be done then." Urgal was on edge, expecting a Bosmer to snipe at them from a tree.

"Elsweyr of course, though this one has not been home in many years," Dro'Araaj sighed "Have you ever been there?"

He laughed more than most people thought the norm for dark elves. "And believe me, I can count pretty high. I haven't been in a few years, though. What made you leave, if you'll excuse my asking?"

"This one loves to wander, and as much as Dro'Araaj loves his homeland there is just so much of the rest of the world left for him to see," he grinned "besides it keeps hunters away from Dro'Araaj's family."

"Hasty, hasty. At least let them try to stop us before we resort to immediate murder."

"True enough. Tamriel is a very strange land. You can find something to see in any stretch of road. And surely the land is large enough to avoid your family? Although you're right, it would still be unsafe, I suppose. Fanatics don't really care about what's reasonable, I am thinking."

"Hmm, you have a point. But I doubt they'll let us pass freely."

"this one got as far as clouds being dragons being moons being oceans full of fish who were chickens that were skooma," he paused for breath, "but you would need to drink several bottles to get to that point, especially considering how much larger than Dro'Araaj you are."

 

[SamtheDeathclaw]

"Hmm, you have a point. But I doubt they'll let us pass freely."

"And then we'll murder them. But they can at least have to chance to make the smart choice and let us pass, as far as I'm concerned."

 

[Josh123914]

Enthir crosses the bridge first, he is stopped by the guards on the other side ''Halt, what is your business here in the Dominion?'' the Bosmer ordered, Enthir calmly showed the guard some documents and explained,''we are here to deliver a package to an Altmer living in Falinesti, Endya Mothis'' the guard looked over the bridge to see everyone ''quite a large group for a delivery'', by now Joncis stepped in ''the delivery is a rare family heirloom, she wanted it to have enough protection'' The Bosmer seemed suspicious, but the other guard finally spoke ''very well, everything seems in order, move along, Arenthia is directly south of here''

''That went.... suprisingly smooth'' Joncis whispered as they began walking along the clean road ('clean' in the sense that they were now surrounded by thick, dense foliage) Enthir smiled and said ''Well, being a Blade has its benefits, even if most do not know them....... that other guard is a double-agent if you can't tell''

"Not to mention they are very unoriginal, at least four tried various schemes involving Dro'Araaj's family and extended family to try and get at him," he shook his head "one even tried the same scheme twice with different relatives."

Anruin had been hanging around the rear scanning the trees for archers. A few were there, but they weren't acting very agressive. 'Guess we got the okay to go through then'

"Hunters? My kind or Hircine?"

"Not to mention they are very unoriginal, at least four tried various schemes involving Dro'Araaj's family and extended family to try and get at him," he shook his head "one even tried the same scheme twice with different relatives."

"One must give them their due for perseverance." Lloden laughed. "I don't think Hircine would even allow the tooth to fall to one who obtained it through trickery. These followers must be rather dim. Or perhaps you're too slippery to ever catch, eh?"

"Well that's.....good to know" replied Belkin, deciding to take another swig from the Potion. He felt more alert now, though it was a little wasted from them cleanly going through the Checkpoint.

"Hunters? My kind or Hircine?"

"Hircine's, though this one would not be surprised if a few of them were a little of both,"

"Not to mention they are very unoriginal, at least four tried various schemes involving Dro'Araaj's family and extended family to try and get at him," he shook his head "one even tried the same scheme twice with different relatives."

"This one doesn't think Hircine minds using bait or traps to hunt, part of the chase is drawing out the prey right? all Dro'Araaj was ever told was that it could only be claimed if someone hunted and killed him."
