"You've said that name twice. Should it mean anything to me? And who fights exclusively with arrows?"

Spoiler: ooc

He is rarely here, fucking timezones :\

''Ugh, she uses arrows and throwing knives instead of something practical, I think she might have done espionage or something when she was younger'' he said, ''You still haven't told me what we're up against, we just killed 2 bandits, who else will we have to get through on the ship?''
OOC: He's not dead though, but I see your point, just have him in there anyway, and to his credit, it would be 11 am for him right now, and it's midnight for me, personally I'd rather be doing this now than when I was finishing lunch or having a lie-in.

I'll make one more post, then we'll end this for tonight, or until Sam comes back.

Best case, a kid and nothing else, worst case an army." Joncis nodded and walked into the ship, lightning bolt ready.

"Fine, but if she's another damn Vampire, Daedra worshiper, necromancer, or werewolf I'm going AWOL. Not even Lloden will be safe!" He called to him, as he disappeared into the ship. Anruin decided to check out the brigs.

As he came upon the doorway into the brig of the ship (now chest high) he became a bit more suspicious of the quiet, holding the bow like a sword, and climbed over. he was immediatly cracked over the head by Lloden,
"Ow, what the fuck?"
"Sorry, thought you were a bandit."
"No, I'm a concussed cripple. Where are the rest of our crew?"
"Escaped it looked like," he pointed to a broken down door, and one magically altered, which Astoph waved out of. "Perhaps they were tired of the weather?" He laughed, and Anruined sighed.

Joncis started traversing the horizontal ship, he came through the cargo hold and found his bag, inside were his spell tomes, about a quarter of Enthir's gold and a few shipping passes in and out of High Rock and Cyrodiil, courtesy of both Enthir and Joncis' connections, he continued down into the ruined cellar, the 3 Redguards who first tried to escape were still lying on the ground, but he could here groaning, it was Urgal! ''Urgal?!'' Joncis shouted, Urgal mouthed a response but he heard no noise ''Hold on, I'll get you out'' Joncis started to blast frostbite on the cage's hinges, then he picked up a sword off the ground and smashed the hinges off, ''You all right?'' Urgal nodded, as they made their way out through the now sideways ramp.

''Ah, vargmir, there you are, did you come across any ports nearby?'' He asked ''why?'' Vargmir responded bluntly ''Well my contact.... isn't here, we need to get to Torval to meet up with her, Joncis and the others are probably with her right now and the fastest way to Torval is by boat'' he looks towards the sea, from the high altitude of the tree they could see Anvil in the north and sections of forest still burning, to the south-west they saw a port, ''There, judging by the design those are cargo ships, good enough for me, let's go'' he said, ready to get a move on, ''Oh, and while we're here pick up some food for yourself'' he pulled out a pouch and tossed it towards him, inside was a large sum of gold.

Vargmir returned to Enthir's side. "I'm ready." He held a new pack full of fresh food an supplies.

Lloden strolled cheerily out of the ship, grabbing his bow from the bandit's makeshift storeroom, what Lloden suspected had once been the fo'c's'le.
"I assume you and magey-pants took care of the fetchers?" he asked Anruin while counting his arrows.

"I assume you and magey-pants took care of the fetchers?" he asked Anruin while counting his arrows.

Anruin leaned against the door,
"Pretty much. Almost freaking killed me though. Do you know any 'Endyas'? We'll be following one apparently." Anruin scanned the room, "Think if Vargmir is still alive, he can make me another silver sword?"

Vargmir returned to Enthir's side. "I'm ready." He held a new pack full of fresh food an supplies.

''Alright, let's go'' Enthir said, climbing down to the ground on a nearby vine, to his left was a pathway that led to the harbor ''let's follow that, if we're lucky a boat to Torval will be available soon''

Joncis left the ship with a still limping Urgal ''ugh, hold still'' he held his hands over Urgal's knee and healed it ''There, that should keep it in check'' Joncis looks around and sees Iloden and Anruin ''Anyone else we need to go get?'' he called up

"Astoph is reading and Belkin already escaped. Is that Urgal?"

"Hm. Endya? I met her once. I think. She throws things, right? She's well-respected in... Certain circles." Buckling on his quiver, Lloden threw around what little he knew of Endya. "Probably, if you don't mind it being heathen in design and heavier than you are." He laughed.

''Yep, I think he's been hit by a silencing spell, it should wear off in a couple of hours.''

Joncis overheard Iloden ''Good to see you again. Is your Endya older than Oblivion? C'mon, let's go, she's staying in Dusk with a friend of Dro' Araaj'' he said, pointing towards Dusk.

 

[SamtheDeathclaw]

Joncis overheard Iloden ''Good to see you again. Is your Endya older than Oblivion? C'mon, let's go, she's staying in Dusk with a friend of Dro' Araaj'' he said, pointing towards Dusk.

Lloden laughed. "'Older than Oblivion' is subjective for an elf. Or powerful wizards. Or powerful wizard elves." He forced a laugh, a harsh and ugly thing. "Dusk, is it? I had a friend in Dusk once. Or maybe I still do. Adventurers, just can't keep up with them." he babbled on, strolling off down the road.
One day, years from now, I'll return home. And no mercenary, no spell, no armor, no weapon can keep me from you. You will pay for what you did to him, and all the others. He whistled a tune, a redguard sailor's song. It was a light, cheerful sound to cover his heavy thoughts.

As they set off together, Joncis laughed and told Iloden ''subjective or not, she is old, when I first met her I was afraid a bit of dust would be left on the seats she sat on'' he said, laughing harder now, ''don't tell her I said that, or you won't find me the next night'' he looked around and say Belkin missing ''Anruin, where's Belkin? did he stay with Enthir or what? I thought you did a search of the ship''

I thought you did a search of the ship''

Anruin was walking a bit behind thinking, barely listening until his name was mentioned,
"He was with us when we were captured, but he wasn't in the brig. One of the doors looked forced open, but I though that was Urgal."
He looked back to Astoph, who was delegated the job of supporting Urgal. "I woke up a bit after Lloden, I don't know anything." and Urgal simply shrugged.
"Don't know what to tell you, but I don't want to go back there. Catching up to Dro and Endya is already going to be hard, we'll just see if he ever catches up."

''Hmm, so we have 1 man missing, another 2 waiting on us up ahead and the other half a dozen heading for Torval already'' Joncis said, counting in his head to check if he had forgotten anyone.


Enthir reached the docks, nearby was a listing for all civilian ships ''That's odd'' he said to himself, ''what?'' Vargmir grunted , ''look'' he pointed to the listings, on the board the only ships available were from within the Dominion:

WOODHEARTH- MORNDAS - 16:00
GREENHEART- TURDAS - 08:00
SOUTHPOINT- LOREDAS - 12:00
HAVEN - TIRDAS - 12:00
TORVAL - MIDDAS - 16:00
SENCHAL - LOREDAS - 08:00
SKYWATCH - MORNDAS - 12:00
DUSK - TURDAS - 08:00
SUNHOLD - TIRDAS - 12:00
ALINOR - MORNDAS - 08:00
FIRSTHOLD - FREDAS - 16:00

''take a look down at the bottom though'' Enthir said pointing to the sign posted nearby:

ATTENTION
AS OF NOW THE FOLLOWING PORTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR TRANSIT:

LEYAWIIN - SOULREST - ANVIL - RIHAD - TANETH - STROS M'KAI - HELGATHE - SENTINEL - DAGGERFALL

''..Those are all ports from either Cyrodiil, Black Marsh or the Daggerfall Pact, the Dominion is ready for war, and that forest fire might have been planned, think about it, dense forested area that only Wood Elves would be comfortable with, while that might sound good for skirmishes it won't be so good when the army sets the trees you're hiding in on fire, now archers from Falinesti or outposts can just shoot down any opposing force no problem, and it gives them clear sight to the Colovian cities from Falinesti'' Vargmir merely grunted in approval ''Oh, and look, Torval, Middas 1600, that gives us about an hour to kill before the ship sets sail''

All of this Dominion strategy talk went right through Vargmir. He nodded as Enthir spoke, listening.

"An hour to kill."

Vargmir grunted. "Fine." Vargmir stepped away and took a seat on a nearby crate as two Imga laborers on either flank were about to lift it. They struggled under his weight and one shoved him.

"Hey, big ugly Nord! Move it!"

Vargmir let out a low growl and swung both arms backward, knocking both Imgas into the water. He pulled out of two loaves of bread from his pack and began to eat, tossing the other loaf at Enthir. He also pulled out the deep red potion and examined it intently as he ate.

''don't worry about the Imga, they may act like they are better than humans, but if it wasn't for them revering the Altmer they'd be considered little more than animals'' he said, muching on a piece of bread.

 

[Josh123914]

Enthir sat on a nearby bench and was reading, when he heard ''All aboard for Torval'' as he put his book away and went towards the 2nd of 4 boats that had recently pulled in, he was stopped by a guard ''Ship to Torval, 60 gold upfront.'' he handed him a pouch of gold ''that should cover it'' Enthir nodded and turned around to see where Vargmir went ''Vargmir?! our ship!'' he shouted, while staying above deck until Vargmir joined him.

Meanwhile,
Joncis and the others finally reached Dusk, the guards didn't give them any hassle and nearby he saw Endya ''hmp, looks like you found more than just your books'' ''I found these ones stranded by our shipwreak, they are some of the people we hired, where's Dro'araaj?'' she pointed to one of the large houses on the hillside ''up there with his friend, oh and I cheked the docks, the next ship for Torval is tomorrow morni- wait,'' she looked behind Joncis' shoulder to see a Dunmer checking a fruit stall, ''Iloden?''

 

[IFS]

Dro'Araaj entered the house of his former, mentor, it was a large dwelling, decorated primarily by potted plants in each corner of the room. In some rooms he walls were also coated with notes and memos tacked up. Dro'Araaj smiled, his master had always been forgetful.

He could smell animal blood, and he followed the scent out back to the well maintained garden, where Eraamion, his former teacher, was pouring animal blood over some strange red grass. Dro'Araaj cleared his throat to make his prescense known. Eraamion was an old altmer, with white hair that went in every direction and wearing brown, dirt covered robes.

Eraamion looked up, "Eh, divines is that you Araaj?" he said surprised "By oblivion you look old, how long has it been, eh no matter help me water this bloodgrass,"

Dro'Araaj moved to help, "Good to see you've been taking care of yourself master, this one thinks it has been seven years since he was last here, where did you get bloodgrass? this one thought it was native to a plane of oblivion."

"Seven years, really?" Eraamion replied, "Oh and cut out that third person nonsense, I know I taught you to speak properly," he finished pouring the blood then wiped the sweat from his brow, "Got the bloodgrass from a friend of mine in the psijic order, he also gave me some harrada but it wouldn't let me near it to water it," he said, motioning towards some dead vines in the corner of the garden.

"Interesting," Dro'Araaj replied, "this one, er, I wish I could stay longer but he-I'm here on business, could some friends of mine spend a night or two here?"

"Certainly, friends of yours are friends of mine, I'm sure I've got a spare room they can stay in" Eraamion said, as they started to walk inside, "Now hows your family been, well I hope, here I'll make us some tea."

 

[SamtheDeathclaw]

''Iloden?''

"Hello Endya. You look ravishing as ever." Lloden winked at her and bowed. "How long has it been? I think I was just a whelp last I saw you." A whelp, a thug, and a smuggler to boot.
