"And how do you propose we get onto a boat? And how do you plan to comandeer that boat? I'm all ears Astoph."
Random Fella said:
"Okay. Bickering, which I have been a part of, must stop now. We are going to free our friends. We will do this quickly and skillfully. Anruin, your explosives would be helpful, but we'd need to clear of the blast first. Astoph, you and Belkin could cause an explosion some ways away a while before, then kill anyone who came, then we set bombs, take a boat out, detonate, come ashore a ways away to get you two, then go. Sound good?"

"You clearly don't know what conjured messengers or illusion magics can do in the form of long ranged communication.
"An illusionist or conjurer who can perform over such distances would be valued indeed, not sitting in a camp in a relatively unimportant camp. They would be in Firsthold relaying troop orders. There has never been a reliable method of long communication. There may be a way. Besides, conjuring at all while moving is tricky, conjuring onto something that's moving while you're not is damn near impossible. But let's say they do, what do they send? They don't know we're trying to free them. They would think that we've a strike force from another army."
] We've seen conjured messenger across a single city. And as far as I recall, we've never seen illusion used for that. Seriously, I've never heard of any mention of long-range communication in any piece of elder scrolls lore/game. Almalexia, one of the most powerful people in Morrowind in that "Last Year of the First Era" series of books has to ride all the way to the psijic's island.
"It's not hard to conjure an imp to deliver a message via traveling through the planes"

"If two of us can pose as slavers, taking the other two to the boat, we can strike from the inside, giving us the element of surprise and they won't have time to warn others, however we would then need to plan to board the other ship"

"And then have every other ship they have on us as we try and board the prison ship? I'd much rather skip that bit. We need to get rid of their ships, or else we'll be between a rock and a hard place once we do catch the other ship."

"First of all, long distance summoning is a very difficult thing to do. Secondly, your plan doesn't seem to help our group. As long as you and Belkin wear face protection, nobody can trace us back to the rest of the group, your plan however gives us away. Our arrival here wasn't as low-key as you thought, they have general descriptions of most of our faces, including mine and Llodens. Still, bickering like children doesn't help anyone." Anruin sighs

"Perhaps, if long distance summoning is easy for, can you get SOMETHING to play messanger for us?"

"I never said anything about long distance summoning, the minions travel through plains, simple enough
But you're right, we need to act now, if we take your plan we'll have to get them to attack at the same time
It has been a long time however since I have used even the most basic conjuration spell..."

He says, holding the hilt of his blade by his side

"Oh for fucks sake, another 'dark secret'? Let's just get mine out of the way, I used to be a somewhat competent mage in the thieves guild. Anyone else feel like stopping the melodrama?"

"I just haven't casted conjuration magic for years since my teachings, to be honest I don't like the idea of trying to control the daedra, they're too... Unpredictable."

Joncis continued speaking with the Altmer woman, the bosmer and the Argonians. The Redguard bodies were still left unattended ''Well I was acting as a spy in Elden Root, those 3 were doing the same in Silvenar'' the small Argonian said, ''the idea was that once war broke out, we would assassinate high-ranking Aldmeri officials in the area, so as to keep Black Marsh's southern coast free from invasion, I'm Talen-Ja'' the Altmer woman turned to Joncis and said ''what's your plan for breaking out? Your friend is posing as a guard, maybe we can be of use?'' Joncis sat up as cleared his throat ''Well the idea was for us to take control of the ship once we were out to sea, but the Dominion would rather have a ship sink than fall into the hands of us, so we plan to bust out once we near Sunhold, I'm Joncis, by the way'' ''Endya'' the Altmer grunts, ''Wait, Endya? Endya Mothis?'' Joncis aks, could this be Enthir's contact in Falinesti? ''How do you know my name?'' ''You're one of the Blades aren't you? We were meant to meet you in Falinesti'' the woman now became more trusting of Joncis ''Yes, I was Enthir's contact, the Dominion began rounding up all Blades agents in their territory a while ago, I think that they'll use us as bargaining tools if their army is destroyed by Cyrodilic forces , but if you're here then where's the package? do the Dominon have it?!'' she said, now alerted to the idea that one of the factions might have an Elder Scroll ''Don't worry, my friend upstairs is keeping it safe and Enthir is fine, now for a plan of escape'' ''Hey, if you're escaping I want in'' the Bosmer said, speaking for the first time all journey, ''Us too!'' the largest of the 4 Argonians shouted, ''Then we better start planning for 6+ 1 guard, and don't worry about Enthir not finding us, my Imga servant will be able to point them in the right direction.'' Endya said, turning towards the rest of the grroup to discuss battle plans.

Dro'Araaj arrived carrying the meals for the prisoners, unappetizing looking gruel.
"Meal time prisoners," he announced, crouching down to pass the meals through the slot at the bottom of the door, he leaned in closer and whispered to Joncis "managed to trade shifts with the guard here, do you have a plan, because this one does not have enough poison for the entire ship."

Joncis picked up the spoon and pretended to eat ''Working on it, the other 5 prisoners want to join us, and the Altmer is, well was Enthir's contact in Falinesti, so we're busting her out too.'' Endya looked up and saw Joncis speaking ''Guard! Do you have the package safe?'' she said, seemingly uncaring about who hears her.

Endya stood up and reached for a bowl ''Good, we should arrive at Sunhold tomorrow night, that'll provide cover, anyone else I should know about that Enthir's hired?''

"This one is the only one on the ship, the others may give chase but for now we are beyond their help," He stood and leaned against the wall next to the door, "what do you plan to do when we reach sunhold? This one may be able to steal some weapons for you and the other prisoners, if that would help."

At this point urgal's hefty green weight landed unceremoniously right next 2 them seemingly from space.

The group looked at him.

He stood up.

"The trees move here!" he exclaimed. He shook his head obviously disorientated and irate"Only in Valenwood. One minute i'm in some treehouse bar on the edge of town, the next im just coming to the end of the 23rd verse of my clan chant in the original orcish and for some reason they throw me out here!" Urgal pointed at the orc shaped imprint in the ground very deliberately . "Elves have no taste for the arts..." he slurred before launching into an incomprehensible orcish chant once more.

He paused. "What are you all doing out here looking so angry for? You know, I bet that cat has a potion for whatever is bothering you. Where is he anyway?"

"He's on a prisoner boat. We're trying to figure out how to hijack that boat. Any suggestions?"

"You know, that reminds me of an old orcish saying from orismer. It goes something a little like this."

And with that Urgal erupted into a relentless series of gargled words and grunts.

"what dya say to that then?" Urgal asked proudly to a series of blank looks.

"You know, funny enough, I don't think he's going to much help with tactics sober, let alone stone drunk." Lloden laughed. "Whatever we do, we need to do it soon. It won't be long before the boat gets too far out to catch quickly."

the Bosmer sits next to Joncis and asks ''So how exactly are we taking this vessal?'' Joncis had everything mapped out in his head by now ''well first we'll need my friend to smuggle the weapons down, shouldn't be too hard to get daggers or arrows in, but they'll notice something's up when he walks in with 3 maces and leaves with one.'' A small Argonian woman pipes up from the corner ''yes, yes that's fine, assuming not all of us die getting out of here what do we do once we reach the port'' she says impatiently, Joncis turns to face her ''We aren't going to reach the port, if all goes well we can take control of the ship before dawn, which is when the ship would get within sight of Sunhold. in the evening this boat will pass the city of Dusk, and between then and the following morning is our window of escape'' Endya finishes her food and drops the bowl on the floor, cracking it, ''clever plan, besides that fighting through Sunhold would be suicidal, it has the most heavily defended port in the Isle, except for maybe Skywatch''
