Elder Scrolls: Interregnum Chapter 4 (Started, Open)

[IFS]

Dro'Araaj hurried to move the books and papers out from under the altmer, and away from him so that he wouldn't bleed on them. He knew Eraamion would care far more about his research than his house. While he was doing this he glanced up at Urgal, then cast a healing spell at him to mend the bruises and scratches he'd gained.

"Rough night?" he said to the orc.

The altmer began to stir, groaning in pain, Dro'Araaj calmly stood up and placed his foot over the mer's throat "Do you want him dead, or just scared?" he said to Urgal, his foot applying just enough pressure to the elf's throat to make it hard to breath.

Dro'Araaj hurried to move the books and papers out from under the altmer, and away from him so that he wouldn't bleed on them. He knew Eraamion would care far more about his research than his house.

The altmer began to stir, groaning in pain, Dro'Araaj calmly stood up and placed his foot over the mer's throat "Do you want him dead, or just scared?" he said to Urgal, his foot applying just enough pressure to the elf's throat to make it hard to breath.

Joncis entered the room to see the damage ''We heard the commotion in the kitchen, need any help?'' he turned around, Endya wasn't behind him ''Endya?'' Endya already stepped outside to see who was outside, she spotted the young altmer boy helping up the bodyguards ''What is the fighting about?'' she said, feigning the persona of a feeble old woman ''Go back inside miss, we have a... beast to slay'' one of the bodyguards said. The boy recognized her from the alter, and began to whisper in one of the guard's ear, she smirked for a second, then threw a dagger at the boy, pinning him by his shirt on a nearbly wall.
The guards were on their feet and poised to attack, from the hole in the wall Dro'Araaj and Joncis came out to help Endya, Urgal stayed inside to pacify the Altmer.

"Rough night?" he said to the orc.

The altmer began to stir, groaning in pain, Dro'Araaj calmly stood up and placed his foot over the mer's throat "Do you want him dead, or just scared?" he said to Urgal, his foot applying just enough pressure to the elf's throat to make it hard to breath.

The guards were on their feet and poised to attack, from the hole in the wall Dro'Araaj and Joncis came out to help Endya, Urgal stayed inside to pacify the Altmer.

Urgal shrugged off the uncomfortable tingling of the healing spell "Thanks, but I can take it. Sorry about your papers." he mumbled to Dro'Araaj before heaving the Altmer up to his feet against the marble of the fireplace, his welt on his forehead was bleeding profusely. Urgal could tell that Anacotar wouldn't be doing any more fighting tonight.

"Your nephew caused me a great deal of pain and discomfort over the past few days." Urgal growled, his yellowed teeth not more than a couple of inches from Anacotar's face. "We also lost some of our crew, and don't know whether they're captive, alive, dead or what." Urgal pushed him hard against the stone. "But you're going to tell me."

The firelight flickered on the crystallizing red blood contrasting his yellow skin tone and creating a myriad of orange hues as a frame for the elderly defiant face, which had lost all of it's previous composure.

"You think I would talk to a beast like you? My nephew should have killed you whilst he had the chance! Orc meat sells for a high price amongst the Namira worshippers near Alinor."

Urgal held Anacotar's head into the hearth inches from the roaring fire at this remark. Anacotar yelled and screamed and cursed the orc incomprehensibly until urgal relented and pulled him upright again.

"YOU SPEAK OF HONOUR? Your friends are outside being harmed by my kin so that you can try and intimidate an old man! You're nothing more than an animal."

Urgal plunged his right hand into the fireplace, the same hand that he plunged into his clans fire all those years ago, and grasped a fistful of hot ash which he threw in Anacotar's face.

He's right though, I can't stand here putting everyone in danger. The town guard are probably in the pay of such a large crime family as well.

He threw Anacotar into the arms of Dro'Araaj and stepped out of the house into the fray.

 

[Josh123914]

''That child is a thief and a bandit!'' Endya said, pointing to him, still struggling to pull free from the dagger. the guards moved towards her, unsheathing their swords ''Those are some damning accusations, why don't you just head home now, you must be seeing things'' Joncis rolled his eyes and moved towards him from his left ''oh, and knives are dangero- ugh.'' the guard grunted, Joncis had tripped him ''Listen, it's nearly dawn, I don't know what happened here but you just busted a hole in the wall of a room I was planning on sleeping in, I don't like that.'' he said angrily, Joncis looked towards the Altmer child, now free ''Dro'Araaj I thought you sorted that one out, oh, and junior, I hope you realise everyone at that shrine AND shipwreak are dead.'' he said menacingly, but the boy seemed unphased. ''How dare you speak to us like that, you filthy half-breed! and who have you got to fight with? An Orc without a mace, a carpet and some old hag with a cheap parlour tric-'' the guard retorted, before getting a knive through the chest. The mercenaries all readied their weapons.

He threw Anacotar into the arms of Dro'Araaj and stepped out of the house into the fray.

Dro'Araaj immediately dropped Anacotar on the floor, walked around behind the elf as he started to stand up, he then grabbed and dislocated both of the elf's arms, before tossing him out the window and leaving him writhing in pain on the ground. He moved to join the others.

''That child is a thief and a bandit!'' Endya said, pointing to him, still struggling to pull free from the dagger. the guards moved towards her, unsheathing their swords ''Those are some damning accusations, why don't you just head home now, you must be seeing things'' Joncis rolled his eyes and moved towards him from his left ''oh, and knives are dangero- ugh.'' the guard grunted, Joncis had tripped him ''Listen, it's nearly dawn, I don't know what happened here but you just busted a hole in the wall of a room I was planning on sleeping in, I don't like that.'' he said angrily, Joncis looked towards the Altmer child, now free ''Dro'Araaj I thought you sorted that one out, oh, and junior, I hope you realise everyone at that shrine AND shipwreak are dead.'' he said menacingly, but the boy seemed unphased. ''How dare you speak to us like that, you filthy half-breed! and who have you got to fight with? An Orc without a mace, a carpet and some old hag with a cheap parlour tric-'' the guard retorted, before getting a knive through the chest. The mercenaries all readied their weapons.

"This one is not that old, and Endya isn't that hairy," Dro'Araaj protested, readying his staff.

Anruin poked his head out of the cellar door, "So you guys good, or will I need to get involved?"

 

[Derek_the_Dodo]

Urgal strode through the door tall, with a smirk on his face. He had picked up his maces and had had a chance to put on the lower part of his armour, but his chest remained bare.

"I suggest you elves leave unless you want us to finish Anacotar off."

The early morning sunlight was just becoming clear over the horizon, soon the town would be dense with its populace heading about their day to day business and the guards couldn't be too keen on a violent skirmish. However, he could tell that these were not exactly moral mer, and all too pleased to look for a reason to see some action.

Who does that remind you of? thought Urgal as he unhooked his maces.

''This is taking too long'' Joncis said, leaving, he came back with the struggling mer from the house, ''Get out of here or he gets shot,'' he said, readying a thunderbolt. The bodyguards took a step backwards, then Joncis pushed the hostage towards them. They grabbed him, then moved back towards the manor ''Well, that was unnecessarily tense'' he said, going back into the house.

 

[Josh123914]

By now it was morning and Joncis was awake, ''Ugh, Endya, Get up'' he said, throwing a bit of fod towards her in the bed. ''It's early morning, we should head down to the harbor once the others are awake'' he said, looking down towards the coast. Seeing people loading cargo onto the ships or moving them onto nearby carriages. ''We should be in Torval this time tomorrow.'' Endya said, putting on her shoes and long-flowing robes.

Enthir was woken up by a group of Bosmer speaking outside of his room, he left with Vargmir still in bed and checked above deck to see where they were: the middle of the ocean ''Yes ma'am, we'll be in Torval by tomorrow, don't worry'' one of the sailors said ''I hope you're right for your sake, the last prediction you made sent us off course by nearly 3 hours'' the Altmer replied rudely.

 

[Josh123914]

Joncis picked up his things and made his way down to the harbor, he ordered 7 tickets and waited near the ship, it would set sail in an hour, so that gave him time to browse around the nearby market stalls. Endya meanwhile was checking to see who was awake, Astoph and Dro'Araaj were still in bed while Lloden was nowhere to be found ''Hurry up people, you weren't hired to sleep in!'' she barked.

 

[Ruedyn]

Anruin had gone to the local temple. There were some people around to set up funerals of the men his group had killed. He tried his best to ignore it, but he did feel guilty. After awhile he got up and walked to the dock, meeting up with Joncis.

"So when this boat leaving?"

''In about 40 minutes now, I assume Endya's still getting the others out of the house?'' he said, glancing at a few spell tomes.

 

[Ruedyn]

''In about 40 minutes now, I assume Endya's still getting the others out of the house?'' he said, glancing at a few spell tomes.

"I figure we'd hear the yelling if they were dragging ass. They're probably on their way now."

''Hmph, knowing them they've probably found a settlement to slaughter, oh,wait, you're not there to strategize so they would probably be dead or in cages'' he said, laughing quietly to himself.
Endya took a bucket of water and poured a bit onto Astoph ''Get up! I haven't heard a peep from you but I assume you can take orders,'' she shouted, dousing the others with it, ''I'm not missing the ship just because some of you are too lazy.'' Dro'Araaj narrowly avoided the water while Urgal moved out of the way so the water only reached his arm, ''Cat, I assume you'd want to say goodbye to our host?''

"Milady..."
He gets up, draining the water from his hood
"A simple prod would have done it"

 

[IFS]

Dro'Araaj yawned and got out of bed, he had stayed up quite late studying Eraamion's notes, and was still very tired. He put on his armor and cloak, checking to make sure all his belongings were in his bag and intact, said goodbye to Eraamion, who told him to stay longer next time so they could compare notes, then set out to the docks.

Once there he wandered the market stalls, browsing the wares, he spotted the kid from the shrine extorting a shopkeeper, threatening him with his families name. Dro'Araaj waited until the kid had finished, and tripped the kid from behind, swiping the pouch of gold as he fell, muttering an apology and walking off before the kid realized what he'd done.

He met Joncis at the docks, and offered him the pouch of gold, "This ought to pay for our tickets, consider it a gift from those elves we nearly killed last night," he said, a mischevous grin on his face.

''Well I didn't know if you weren't some kind of mute... or had a silencing spell on you for a while like the orc'' she said, bringing the bucket back upstairs ''Get something to eat then head down to the harbor'' she said.

"Of course, Mi'lady"
He said in a quite unpleased tone, grabbing a loaf before exiting toward the harbor.

[Capatcha = need a bigger boat... I think it's a sign xD]

 

[Ruedyn]

''Hmph, knowing them they've probably found a settlement to slaughter, oh,wait, you're not there to strategize so they would probably be dead or in cages'' he said, laughing quietly to himself.

"Hmph... So I got the money from the shrine bounty, and it should cover expenses for a bit, but shouldn't we start using Blade or my guilds' safehouses? It's certainly cheaper and safer."

''Enthir's the one to talk to about that, I'm not a Blade'' he said quickly, ''ah, Astoph, did you see what happened to Belkin?, after you all escaped the shipwreak, Belkin wasn't with you, I didn't see a body or anything'' he said, hoping to find an answer.
