Elder Scrolls: Interregnum Chapter 4 (Started, Open)

Anruin re entered the room, "Eraamion will be here shortly. Might as well get your story straight with me. What happened?" Anruin sat down next to him.

"I had a friend who lived here. I had known her since she was a little girl. I have an angry daedric prince wanting to break me to his will. The end result is obvious and inevitable. She was tortured for hours on end, but she had only died minutes before I got there. The man who did it is an old enemy of mine. He left a few lackeys there to try and take me out. They are no longer among the living." His sentences were short, clipped. There was no laughter in his eyes, a rare occurrence for him. He clenched his fist again. "I was too slow. A few more minutes and I could have saved her. But I didn't."

Anruin listened thoughtfully.

'Why does everyone piss off Daedric princes but me?'

"If she was tortured as you say, them killing her was a kindness. Take heart knowing her death was a relief. Now then, this Daedric prince, which one is it?... Is it Hermaeus Mora? he has a shrine close to here I hear."

"It is as you say. But it's my fault for involving her in my war. And to hear them tell it, she died hating me with every fiber of her being. She had been sure I would come for her. Just like in the stories. But I wasn't fast enough." he sighed and relaxed every muscle, and considered. "Yes. The Woodland Man. My eternal companion and inescapable owner. I hadn't heard of the shrine near here, but I suppose it's inevitable. We need to get out of the city quickly."
Her father will never forgive me. He told me this would happen when I was filling her head with stories of my grand adventures. I didn't care. And now she's dead.

"Leave? I'd say some midnight justice sounds better to me, and I already picked up the bounty for those assholes. And here's a present." Anruin threw his new sword to Llodens feet. "Too big for me. You look about the right size. It hasn't been enchanted yet, so have fun."

"I don't want you pulled into this. You've gotten by this far, but Hermaeus Mora is actively killing people I'm connected with." He tested the heft of the sword, and swung it through the air a few times. "Hm. Fancy." He chuckled grimly. "And the man who did this won't be there. He's quick, and deadly. I couldn't take him. And he's way too clever to stay holed up in a cave with heathens. But I'm always up for some shrine trashing."

Joncis entered the room, overhearing them ''Oh, Iloden Any other midnight 'strolls' I should know about?'' he said, seeing the bloodstains on him, he looked around ''We should probably all get to sleep, on the off chance our transport is attacked, I don't want to have to fight it ON MY OWN!'' he shouted, stomping his foot on the floor so Endya could hear.

"By yourself? Are you talking about those bandits, cause me and Lloden did way more work than you there."

''Well she certainly wasn't in a rush to ome with me to the abandoned shipwreak now was she?''

Dro'Araaj stumbled out of the room, he had taken off the tooth to help him tolerate the smell of the storage room and he had forgotten how much weaker he was without it, he placed it back around his neck and immediatly regained his balance. Seeing that Lloden was hurt he walked over and began to heal him.

"If you wish to track down the man then this one will help, if you wish for a duel with the man then Eraamion certainly has potions that can aid you, he sells elixirs that improve combat prowess to the city guard after all, Dro'Araaj certainly has a poison that could work."

"Quit whining, you sound like a child mewling at spilled milk," Dro'Araaj said, exasperated, "If you need sleep then go to sleep," he sighed, he had no idea what had gotten into Jonics, he and Endya had at least managed to be civil with each other while they were walking here, but perhaps they'd simply been keeping their disike of each other to themselves then, if so he wished they would go back to that.

''Fine, so what's all the noise about? Personally let's avoid a killing spree and just try to meet up with the others'' he said, calming himself down.

Anruin spoke up,

"I accepted a bounty here in town. Some heathens built a shrine, and the citizens want it smashed up. I felt I needed to do it, it is my job after all."

Joncis couldn't believe Nnruin accepted a contract while already in the service of him, but kept it to himself ''OK, but I'm coming with you, our boat sets sail at 8am tomorrow morning, that gives us about 12 hours to get this done'' he said, looking around ''Anyone else feel like tagging along?'' reluctantly, Endya came out from the basement ''I'll join, if it'll quit your whining'' she said.

"Araaj, you know how these daedra are. If I changed the odds, he would just save his champion. And besides that, anything more complicated than a healing potion has a nasty habit of failing on me. It's... Complicated."

''Fine, so what's all the noise about? Personally let's avoid a killing spree and just try to meet up with the others'' he said, calming himself down.

"A dear friend of mine was murdered tonight. By a champion of the daedric lord Hermaeus Mora. Anruin suggested he and I wipe out a shrine nearby in retaliation, which he also accepted a bounty on."

''Hermaeus Mora? the Daedra of Knowledge and Fate? I had a run-in with some of his cultists while in Hammerfell'' Joncis said,

"Yes, the Woodland Man, whatever you'd like to call him. He and I have something of a history. We're not friends."

As they left the house and started outside of the town, Joncis asked ''So where exactly are we going?''

"I have no idea."

meow

"Anruin?"

 

[Ruedyn]

I don't say meow >:[

"Outside the city, about 1 mile out. It's a mining cave, with what appeared to be a dunmer guard, armed with a mace. I may have done some scouting." Anruin sped up to lead the pack there.

''Alright, let's go'' Endya said checking herself for her knives, Joncis meanwhile thought out which spells to cast.

Dro'Araaj, went back to the room to grab a few choice potions then ran to catch up to the others. He'd never destroyed a shrine before, and while Anruin seemed to know what he was doing it was dangerous to attack the followers of any daedric prince. His left hand strayed up to his scars, sometimes the consequences of such fights were not what one expected.

"How are we going to strike?" he asked Anruin.
