The anger was slowly being released from Salvius' body, the strikes of the sword would ease him, even sooth. However the rage quickly built up again as John decided to enter the room unnoticed, making him jump slightly, and have a go at Salvius. The Imperial really wasn't in the mood for John's garbage.

''Hey. You know you don't have to ride the captains d*** all day, you kiss a**. It's pretentious di**s like you who make everyone think the legion is full uppity c***s. It's a shame, really.'' Salvius was disgusted and John's language, he was meant to be a Legionnaire, not some boozed up pirate. Though John seemed to think Salvius was a stuck up, fancy moron.

''Ride the Captains d*ck? Oh sorry John I suppose being respectful is being a svck up is it? Well I guess you wouldn't know you filthy rat! And so you have a problem with the Legion being full of proud and noble warriors do you? Well you better get out now, 'cause you don't fit in, buddy! We're the last bastion of hope in Cyrodil, you should be a proud man, not laughing when your comrades die you sick bastard. Maybe you would think twice about the way you act if you knew what the Captain and I have in store for you? Heh, well maybe you can figure that one out for your self? Now if you're going to train then bloody train, if not.'' Salvius changed his voice to more of a deep shout. ''Get the hell out of my sight!!'' The Imperial turned back to the dummy unsheathing his blade, hoping that John had left to go and annoy someone else.

John had truely made Salvius feel in like an inferno inside, pent up rage and full of hate. Anyone who is clever would not want to start pulling his strings, or he just might snap. It was strange, Salvius was normally calm and happy, and except for the sadness of Skellan's death, he was earlier. But now all he coud think of was hate and killing things, mainly the Vampires, and even then we wanted to break John's arm. The Imperial was starting to accept the fact that the conditions and predicement of the current situation was taking an even bigger toll on him mentally then physically. It was only a matter of time before he ended up a moody and aggressive bastard naturally. However he tried not to let it bother him, Salvius pushed it out of his mind and continued to train on the dummy. Hoping it would help sooth him.

Ferman led Will and Ladin down the corridors, leading the way to his quarters. They stopped outside the training room where they heard yelling. "Stay out here.. I'll take care of this," he said, opening the door to the room.

He saw Sal unleashing powerful blow after powerful blow onto the dummy. He saw John nearby looking shocked. Ferman realized John must have done something obnoxious. He decided not to talk about it with Sal until later. "Come. It is time for us to have a conference, my friend. I have great news!" he said, getting closer to Sal and leaning closer to the Imperial's ear. "William found the vampires' hiding spot! It's a cave a few hundred meters from the outpost! We will discuss tactics when we get to my quarters," he said quietly.

"And your going to talk about it without little old me?" asked Zhanja, leaning against the wall, his form starting to come into view as his practice chameleon spell started to wear off. "Seriously.. thinking you could keep this little secret from all of us?" he asked his voice rather smooth as silk with a dark grin on his muzzle. He had been leaning against the wall for some time now, waiting for someone to notice if he was there or not and had managed to catch the captains whispers with his sensitive feline hearing. His typical robe was on, clean and slightly sweet smelling staying rather loose to his body as many had taken notice to.

"Zhan.. Egh. You already know; there's no point in trying to hide what I let you hear. I have my reasons for waiting to tell the men. Undisciplined, obnoxious glory-seekers like John will rush to find the vampires. You mustn't alert the soldiers.. I'll let you attend the meeting if you give your word that you won't," said the Captain hesitantly. "And please, Zhan, don't eavesdrop when I'm having a private conversation if you can help it."

The Captain put his hand on Sal's shoulder and walked towards the door with Salvius and Zhan in tow.

OOC: sorry i've been gone for awhile where are we?

Suddenly the Captain appeared in the room along with the healer, a khajit called Ri'Zhanja, or Zhan as he prefered. He truely was an enormous figure, standing a good five inches above Salvius, who was quite tall him self. The Legionnaire always felt it was odd that Zhan would stick to being a healer, his large build would be suited perfectly for front line battles. However he never complained, the khajit was great at what he did and could heal almost any wound, and was excellent at magic in general. Although he was slightly odd, Zhan would always seem to be hiding around, and in fact hadn't been seen since the morning. The khajit seemed to have an odd sense of humour as well, it was always quite morbid and a bit too dark for some people's taste. Salvius hoped that he wouldn't make a joke about what happened to Skellan. But with all this said he was always easy to approach and talk to, making him a good friend. Salvius sheathed his blade and walked over to the Captain as they strolled out of the training room. Before leaving the Imperial tidied himself up, wipping sweat off his forehead and making himself look presentable, ready to look good for the meeting, he didn't want to look like a scruffy beggar, as John would be somedays.

''Come. It is time for us to have a conference, my friend. I have great news! William found the vampires' hiding spot! It's a cave a few hundred meters from the outpost! We will discuss tactics when we get to my quarters." The Captain whispered into Salvius' ear.

''Ah very good! It's about time Will found it! We should be able to strike soon, I hope.'' Salvius said with a chuckle, he was proud of Will this day.

Ferrus, Salvius and Zhan walked through the outpost towards the Captain's quarters. The Imperial was suprised as to why the healer was still with them. Strange, he's not a high ranking officer or anything, Salvius thought, perplexed as to why Ri'zhanja would be possibly attending the meeting. As the three walked through the corridors, Salvius tried to look proud and respectful as the younger soldiers walked by. They would need someone to look up to and have an influence, if they didn't have someone as an inspiration they would turn out moody and disrespectful, once again similar to what John was like. The conditions of the corridor were actually starting to get a bit too much, lots of men would be rushing around the place, trying to get the best bits of food before it all went. Also the flames from the cooker were still burning, obviously increasing the heat level. Plus wearing heavy Legion armour didn't help either, and only make Salvius more uncomfortable.

Eventually, the trio reached the Captains quarters. Salvius presumed Lieutenant Ladin was already in the room waiting. The Imperial was actually quite looking foward to the meeting, it was a time to show off his abilities and tactical ability. He had many ideas for the attack and a few plans on how to increase the overall safety in the outpost in the night. Salvius patiently waited for Ferrus to open the door. Although the legionnaire didn't notice William was standing right by the door, he felt it necessary to congradulate and thank the scout for his excellent work.

''Good work ma' man, you helped us a lot. You have my thanks, you're an assest to the Legion, keep it up. And don't worry 'bout the Captain making you work hard, it only means he thinks you have potential.'' Salvius spoke to William with respectfulness, winking as he did so with a pat on the back.

OOC: Don't worry, we're are not that far, it's still the morning. Just make a post about your guy getting up, having breakfast and reporting to the Captain. Or something like that.

Harbari steped from the bed and stretched he. He had got barely any sleep last night since the guard captain forced him to scrub the tower top to bottom, and dark circles had grown around his eyes. Once again the Captain was angry because a thief snuck into the guard tower during his shift. He tried to explain to the captain that the thief had attacked him and with no help he was defenseless, though in reality he had just fallen asleep. And with no battle scars to prove it the captain caught on pretty quickly to his lie. 3 years of being yelled had warn on his weary head, it had been about a week since he was last at a bar enjoying a hardy cup of mead. Harbari paced across the room and opened the door, once again he was off to get yelled at by the guard captain since everyday it was something new with that guy.

OOC: About your post.. If you're referring to my character when you say guard captain that's not right.. We aren't guards we are of the Imperial Legion.. Also, a military outpost in the middle of the Blackwood would hardly seem a good thing to rob. I've got to get going atm I'll post later today.

''The thing is, the man would have been the same way about me. If you think I'm bad, you clearly didn't know your buddy too well. And I see nothing wrong with being proud and respectful, but you men, especially the captain are just pretentious empty postured pansy's. The captain, you, and anyone else here are no better then any other man.,'' said John before the healer and the captain walked in.

John always found that khajiit to be hilarious. Defiantly a valuable man, in the legion in his eyes.

John then left the training room when no one was around. He was very hungry. He checked if there was any left overs. There was a hunk of ham and some fruit, he devoured it all.

ooc: Hey Chriso, Ladin is with Will, Zhan and Ferman

Ladin listened deeply to every word coming from Ferman's mouth, although not initially showing that he was listening. What the captain was saying was private, no sense to have anyone eavesdropping. When Ferman gave Ladin the invitation, the Argonian hesitated for a few moments. I've always trusted the captain, this may very important to him though, in the future.... Ladin exhaled deeply before slowly nodding, but wasn't sure the Captain actually spotted it. Why have an enemy when you can have a friend?
''Come, Ladin and Will, we must go find Sal so we might discuss our plans'' Ferman said, standing from the table, and walking out of the dining room. Ladin stood as well and followed suit right after him.

The Khajiit that had been eavesdropping them via chameleon spell spoke up about keeping the secret from him and the rest of the Legionnaires. The Lieutenant always had mixed feelings about the Khajiiti Mage. Sure, he was a good asset to the outpost, but he was very sneaky. Ladin's orangish eyes squinted slightly in distrust. Ferman had allowed Zhan to tag along, and in turn, Ladin sighed annoyingly. That makes five of us now... We need to keep this under wraps..., If Ladin was in charge, he'd make sure it was only Sal that knew, and the two would discuss the plan and choose the appropriate soldiers for the task. Oh well, at least not everyone knows...

After hopefully picking up their last passenger, Ladin, Ferman, Will, Zhan, and Salvius made their way to the captains quarters. Ladin walked beside his superior, and in a hushed tone, he asked, ''Sir, are you sure about this? I think it would be unwise to speak of plans as hastily of this, we need to make sure they can be trusted...''

OOC: Srry for writing in two big blocks.. It's cuz it's mostly the Captain's speech.

"Don't worry about it, my friend. I know five seems too many but trust me this will turn out well! We need to speak of plans hastily because every damned night those fanged bastards take another few of my loyal men. Most of all you should know this. Skellan was close to us all, and we are still hurting from his death. This might be the only chance we have to take out the vampires in one fell swoop! It seems a bit on-the-moment but unless the Gods favor bloodsvcking beasts over intelligent beings then we shall prevail!" the Captain said as charismaticly as he could while using such a low tone.

He switched his voice to a higher tone so his over companions would hear him, "Alright, men! We all know why we are here; to discuss tactics and plan the deaths of the bastards that plot against us this very second. Will, in a extraordinary display of scouting skills has found the vampire cove. This gives us the advantage.. Seeing as we have about eight hours before the sun falls from the sky, we must act quickly. We don't want to go down there with too many people, lest we cause confusion. Of course, all of the people attending this meeting will be in that cave. You are some of my most loyal, trustworthy soldiers, " spoke the Captain, looking them all in the eye except the sneaky Khajiit. "We.. Are not here to be whittled down by vile fiends. We are here to carry out the Emperor's Word and guard this outpost! If it weren't for the servants that work for the good of the peoples of the Empire, the people like us, such a great thing would never exist! We are the building blocks of this Empire! And we are going to fight to keep our place. But enough of my desperate attempt to rally my men. We talk of plans now. I have already ruled out collapsing the cave. The bastards may be barbaric cannibalistic bastards but they are in no way stupid. They are smart.. They will have many exits of the cave. Making it fall is out of the question. We must get down in the dirt and really kill them! We must face them and show them who's the best! I have a team in mind. You all of course know John, and you all of course despise his disgusting manners. I am going to meet him and tell him if he does this job, he will be promoted to Sergeant. As I said before, Sal, he may come in handy as fodder for the vampires. Quite literally in fact. He will walk down the cave shouting "Anyone here? Please! Help me! I am a lost traveller! Please!" and when the vampires come and kill him and begin to eat we will ambush them and slaughter them all! Tor is going to come with us.. It will be good practice for his up close combat. The team will include all of us and Halbari.. The boy needs to sharpen his skills, he is like a dull blade! Now.. Come with me so we can fetch John and Halb. If you have any questions, please, don't hold back. I took you all here so you would offer your opinions. If you have a problem with the plan or anything else, really, speak up now," finished the Captain, taking a swig out of his flask. He rested his head against the wall, deep in thought of how this was going to go down.

He smiled and gave a knowing nod always thinking to keep something as this a secret, unless he was to gain considerably more from it by telling. He grinned rather tauntingly at the Argonian just to provoke a reaction, Oh how he loved to provoke these kinds of reactions. He hadnt been eavesdropping purposely, they just happened to pass by where he had been standing all along. "I wont tell." he grinned abit as they headed down to the captains quarters, The annoyed sigh he had caught merely just spurred on his mood. His ears pushed back abit as the lieutenant seemed to speak hushed to the captain. Oh the conspiracy continues, the argonian thinks his own men can't be trusted judging from the way he speaks... I wonder why he is the second in command when he cant even trust those in the legion.. he thought leaning against the wall casually by the door inside the captains quarters. One would think by now he would be trusting of those whom serve under him. Maybe he needs a...accident to happen one of these days to open his eyes abit he added in thought, closeing his eyes momentarily, his ears twitching like radar dishes picking up as much sound as he could to try and catch the conversation. "Well Sir, using one of your own men as bait wouldn't be wise. As we have lost many already to the Nosferatu. I would think every life we have here would be...invaluable despite how annoying those lives would be." he took a deep breath and exhaled opening his eyes and looked at the captain dead in the eyes.

"Vampires are dangerous foes in close combat. They use illusion skills to cover their approach as we have seen. They could just as easily turn our ambush against us." he contemplated for a moment "We are also fighting them in their own territory so they could have traps inside. We would need to prepare for these encounters." he then added.

OOC: Oh and just by the way long john I'm not killing off your character.. You hold them off until the rest of the men attack or something like that.

"True, but you forget your place. It is your job to seek out these traps, for you are skilled in Illusion yourself. Look.. The little b*tch might even make it out if we ambush fast enough.. I know it's the vampires' turf so we will have to move quick. Zhan it will be your job to cloak us as much as you can. Maybe cook up a potion or two that might come in handy," countered the Captain. He packed a bit of mediocre-quality tobacco into his pipe. Ferman took a long puff, and coughed, smoke pluming out in a milky tirade, impacting on the window, where it drifted back into the room.


"Anyone else have anything to say? There isn't much time to waste."

Zhan held back a crooked smile "Coak you? I may have training in the arts but please.. I wouldn't be able to put five or so people under invisibility or chameleon. Potions would have to suffice..Unless you wish not for some..occasional side effects." he replied rubbing an ear as he contemplated something "And these traps are not of the magickal kind, I reckon they'd have pressure plates and trip wires." he countered while enjoying a good argument of pointing something out about what he could and could not do. "Well Whats the time frame we have before we need to head out?" he asked, raising a rather important question.

Well.. I'll give us about an hour or two.. Then we have six to get in and kill as many as possible before sundown. I overestimated you, Zhan. We will just have to be vigilant and push through the cave. A few pressure plates aren't going to stop the mighty Imperial Legion!" cheered the Captain, ending the argument with the Khajiit behind in the dust. "Now unless anyone wants to add anything.. Let us go fetch John and Halbar. Tonight, the vampires shall regret ever killing Skellan, and all the others lost to their bloodlust! Hoo Rah!" shouted the Captain enthusiastically.

Ferman's unusual enthusiasm made Ladin feel rather annoyed. The 'Mighty' Imperial Legion left us here to die, mate.... The lizard half-frowned at the half-cooked plan. There were still too many holes in it; How many vampires where there? Would the vampires know they were coming? John's life would be put at an incredible risk. And why attack so soon? Plans like this take time, to grow and prosper. Ladin knew he shouldn't question the captains motives, knowing he'd end up getting yell at, or worse. The captain said he needed me to trust him, I suppose now is the time...

Seeing the look on Ladin's face, William spoke up, knowing that the Argonian was probably thinking about how quickly this plan had been thrown together.
"I estimate from what I saw that there's at least 20 Vampires, maybe even more deeper into the cave. When I was in there I saw a tunnel branching upwards, and I'm sure that it must lead to the main cavern, as there was light filtering from there aswell. If a few men with bows sneak up there we may be able to take out a few of the bastards from above before we rush into the fight."
Will coughed on the captains smoke rings and waited for what he thought. Will reckoned that it was quite a good plan, if the tunnel actually led to the cavern.

The Captains quarters were quite nice and well decorated, definatly standing out from any other place in the outpost. It kind of made Salvius envious the Ferrus would get such privilages, but everyone else had almost dirty and lice ridden beds. Nonethless the Imperial didn't complain, at least it was a bed to sleep in, and he hadn't been killed in it. Yet. The meeting began promptly, and Ferman was quick to begin his speech. To be honest, in Salvius' opinion it seemed like more of an attempt to rally the men then discuss tactics, a bit of a shame really. But the Captain still did a good job of getting the soldiers in the mood.

Once or twice the Captain mentioned that what they were doing was for the Emperor. When is he going to realise I don't support the bastard.... Salvius thought, getting a little peeved off that killing the vampires wasn't for revenge or so they could survive, but 'for the Emperor'. However he did agree with Ferrus' idea of actually getting into the cave and combatting the beasts personally, not much else would work as the Captain was right, they're not stupid and know when a fight is going to happen, or when to flee. What a lot of people don't seem to realise is that even though they are bloodsvcking monsters, they are still human technically, and don't lose their brain like some sort of mindless zombie. Nonetheless what Salvius certainly did not agree with was Ferman's plans for John. Admittadly he couldn't stand the guy and was an insult to a proud order, but on the other hand he didn't want the man dead, even if he is a complete fool. In fact he wouldn't really want any to die, especially in such a horrible manner.

Also another factor Salvius was not happy about was the fact that Tor would be joining the attack, he was a good marksman but his swordsmanship was not succifienctly good enough to fight vampires in a confined space. It would be the loss of a great cook and once again, an even better friend. He was an assest to the Legion, but not exactly in the way Ferrus had planned him for. Although the Imperial did actually agree that Habari should join them, he was a good fighter with great potential, he just hadn't had much of a chance to show himself, especially with the tasks he is often given. Thankfully, the Captain allowed time to voice opinion to him. Salvius needed to do so, but Zhan decided to say his piece first. Unfortunatly, after listening on to the conversation between Ferman and the healer, they would not be able to cloaked. ''Dammit,'' the Imperial muttered, hoping not to be heard.

It was quite clear that Ferrus wanted to stop answering questions and instead plan for the raid. But still Salvius wasn't going to let that stop him, he needed to say what was necessary, in order to hopefully save John a nasty death, even if he did despise the guy.

''The plan is good sir, hopefully with a few swift blows here and there we can take 'em. B-but do you really have it in you to just use John like that? I know that the guy is a scumbag, but we can't just force him into death. It's not like the Legion to do so, or very humanly if I need to be honest. And think of this, what if he does somehow survive? Would you really promote him to Sergeant? And it's the same with Tor, his skills are not polished enough yet to fight vampires, especially in their own territory. Sir please understand I'm not trying to critisize your plan, but I just think they need to be changed. But it's your call sir...'' Salvius took a deep breath, he wanted to explain his ideas for increasing the safety of the outpost. ''Anyway, on to what I was wanting to say. Look we need to make this place safer at night, we've complained and complained about it, but what have we done to stop it? Almost nothing. It seems we never have anyone working the night shift patrolling the outpost interior. Well I suggest we have two or three people doing that each night, swaping shifts with people, and if they feel they can sense any, and I mean any possibilites they alarm us with whatever they use an alarm. I suggest a bell or something similar. That way we would all know, all be awake and be able to take the thing on. But most importantly we could stop the nightly attacks. Of course we would only need to do this is our raid today is unsuccessful, because if it is they will only attack us more frequently. That is all. I hope you consider what I say, in either case we need to hurry up and find the other two.'' Salvius was almost out of his breath by the end of his speech, he hoped that the Captain didn't take to harshly what he said, but unfortunatly Salvius felt he had little choice.

The legionnaire waited patiently for Ferrus to make his choice, he snacked on an apple that the Captain had offered the people attending the meeting. Yum, thats good, Salvius thought in delight, snacking on another large chunk of the fruit. It was definatly better then what everybody else got.

"Good thinking, ma boy. I would've done the same had I known more about the cave. Tor can take five archers up and thin the vampire ranks. While they reel in confusion we will rip into them with good old Imperial steel," coughed the Captain, patting one of his cutlasses. The Captain saw the look on Ladin's face. He had only served with Ladin for a little bit, but he knew when the Argonian thought he was going into his death. He had seen the look when they had first gotten assigned to the outpost. "Actually.. Before we get the others. Leave me and Ladin for a second to talk," ordered the Captain, and sighed, smoke exhaling from his mouth, as the troopers left.

"Ladin. You don't have to come with us.. I have doubts about myself going. I'm worried about my own health. The pain in my hip worsens every day. I think the tobacco is affecting my lungs. I know this is done hastily.. This mission is somewhat of a last hurrah for me. I fear my health will confine me to leading the men from behind the lines. I would tell Zhan and Tor to take a look at me but I'm embarrassed about it. If the men find out their Captain is weak, they won't think twice about disrespecting me! Tor isn't one to spread rumors but who knows what Zhan is capable of," said the Captain. His eyes blearily looked at the window.

"Look. If anything happens to me during the attack, I think you will make a great leader. Sal is an obvious choice for Lieutenant. I'm not trying to worry you. I'm just letting you know I'm not in the best condition I've ever been it. If you could arrange for Tor to help me with my health that would be a real favor, my friend. I wouldn't know how to confront him," finished the Captain, patting Ladin on the arm.

OOC: Holy you kind of ignored the questions in my post.....

OOC: I was writing my post when you posted your lol srry. *this post counted as before the last one*

"Salvius of course I consider your opinion! This is why I brought you here. You are right. Tor isn't ready for this. He will lead a group of marksmen up the side of the cave. As for John, don't worry, I was bluffing. Zhan.. Make an explosives potion that makes a lot of smoke. John will throw that when the vampires show to toy with him. And no I will not promote him to Sergeant. Also, Zhanja.. You CAN make a potion of the sorts.. Right?" explained the Captain, chuckling and taking hits on his pipe.

"By the way, Sal, I am promoting you to Sergeant. If you accept, we will discuss who you will lead and the terms later. Please consider this, you have much potential."

Salvius was happy that the Captain respected his opinion and didn't get in a huff, but he was happier that John's life would be spared. It would be great when John found out that his life had been saved from him, it should make the young man respect Salvius a little more, and possibly others too. It was also good news that Tor would not be in the front line and that Ferrus had recognized the danger if that had happened. It was definatly fair that the cook help the archer team snipe from above, his marksmanship was exceptional and could certainly be trusted.

After William put in his input, a very good one actually, the Captain started making the plan more tactical. It was a simple method of confuse from above and attack swiftly from below, nonetheless it was effective and if the vampires had similar numbers and were not expecting an attack, they should be wipped out. Although Salvius knew never to underestimate an enemy, especially the very fearsome ones, like vampires. Even if they had less numbers they still may be able to take out the front line force if the archers don't do a very good job. Still, the Imperial didn't think about that, he just tried to keep to the positives. He was definatly nervous, as most people would be, but he wasn't completely scared either. He had been with the platoon a long time and was confident in their abilities, even the likes of John, who even though was very annoying, he could definatly swing a sword if not a little clumbsily.

What the Captain said next suprised Salvius a little, but he more or less expected it eventually.

"By the way, Sal, I am promoting you to Sergeant. If you accept, we will discuss who you will lead and the terms later. Please consider this, you have much potential." Ferrus spoke, as he took hits on his pipe.

''Well sir, as you know I've been offered this job before, and as you also know, I have rejected it. But that was then, this is now. I accept the promotion and will be your Sergeant. I feel that now I am eventually ready. These younger recruits need someone more mature to look up to as a leader, or else they will turn out like John. Now I shall bid you farewell.'' Even though Salvius said he was ready for the job, he felt that he had no choice, the team didn't have a Sergeant, he was killed off long ago and the Captain seemed to trust the Imperial now more than ever. He couldn't let Ferrus down like that. With the end of his sentance, the Sergeant saluted and left the office. Knowing that Ferman wanted to speak with Ladin privately, for whatever reason.

In the meantime, Salvius thought he use his Sergeant authorites to release Tor from his duties and prepare for the battle. As expected the cook was in the kitchen.

''Those dishes will have to wait 'till later Tor, 'cause right now you have to get ready. You're leading an archery-sniper squad. I suggest you get warmed up.'' Salvius spoke to Tor with respect, even though he was now a much higher rank, he couldn't afford to treat the men like garbage and had no intent of abusing his powers anyway.

John sat on his bedroll smoking some tobacco out of a pipe and drinking ale.

I wonder what those guys are talking about. Hopefully, I'm not involved in anything there planning...

He sat back in enjoyment. He was happy that he able to still get something to eat, even if he did steal it and he just plain enjoyed laying on his bedroll. He was normally this lazy and never really did much.

Then he heard foot steps and his named mentioned.

Danmit. They want me for something...

The khajiit contemplated lightly on the idea of the smoke bomb. But he had something much brighter in mind. Before everyone left the captains quarters he stated "Ill have something brewed for everyone." he turned and walked out, Muttering the types of potion combinations he would make for the soldiers, chameleon and detect life for the archers, strength and agility fortification as well as detect life for the ambushers and a little surprise for the bait. He spotted one of the younger recruits in the sparring room (Random npc ) and pulled him aside to fetch Tor the cook and bring him to Zhanjas quarters when he was available. Zhanja walked passed the training room, humming a soft unusually bright tune to himself.

He loved alchemy and loved brewing things of all sorts. As he approached his quarters which were just around from the training rooms, he spotted the all to familiar blood stain on the door. Where one of the men had been killed by a vampire there. Pushing the door open, a light sweet smell escaped and wafted into the corridor. Inside was a rather nice bed, a rather moderately sized lab in a corner with a chest of drawers by the bed. On the walls hung large tapestries he had bought, some made by the maker Cherim. Others were of the starsigns. He had started with the serpant, his birth sign. And now had the warrior and the mage. Looking to the right was his small shrine he had built for personal worship. Taking off his robe and curiass revealing a bare back, arms and hands the khajiit got to work with brewing. Having closed the door and left a sign on the door knob stating so.
