Chasing Shadows

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 9:32 am

For years Hieronymus Lex has been hunting the Gray Fox. Chasing empty leads, threatening the beggars for infomation, he was ruthless in his search. 10 years after the Oblivion Crisis, with still no Emperor, Lex was resigned his position in the Watch as Captain of the Guard. He acheived his position by preventing an unorganised assassintion on the Count and Countess of Anvil. He rebegan his search, and after a year of tracking him down, he had a faint lead. A beggar spilled that a new Gray Fox was crowned, and this greatly angered Lex. All of his leads were now useless, and he had the Waterfront filled with 15 guards 24 7. Although he had this done, there were still no leads. Instead a minor riot formed, but was quickly quenched when Councilor Ocato announced that 5 troops will be withdrawn. Now, Lex had a bad reputation among the Imperial populace, and was spat upon every time he patrolled the streets.

Yet one Day, a segant approached Lex, and handed him a book. And the book was named... The Night Mother Ritual. Lex took aday and a night to decide what to do, but eventually he decided. That night, he would pray for the Gray Fox to be murdered. Of course, the assassins had a hard job to even get a lead, never mind find him. Still, Lex had his guards go round the Imperial City, trying to find leads and evidance. The Watch knew not of the Dark Brotherhood's job, only Lex and the sergant who handed him the book. Eventually, the new Gray Fox discovered that he was been hunted by the assassins, so he hired some of the finest bodyguards, theives and mercenary's to combat the two forces.

A month passed since the Gray Fox discovered of the Dark Brotherhood. The Watch still have no idea of the Dark Brotherhood, and finally, Lex has a lead. Lex had found a dead theif, murdered by a backstab wound, with a Followers of the Gray Fox book. He tracked down the theif's house, family and murderer...the Dark Brotherhood. So his Watch and the Dark Brotherhood had a lead, yet the Gray Fox had a final card up his sleeve. The Morag Tong were now operating in Cyrodiil, and he paid them a lot of money to kill his assassins, and so, another private war erupted between the Dark Brotherhood.

You can play as a Dark Brotherhood, Watch, Morag Tong or one of the Theives Guild members.

This looks pretty interesting, and I've always loved all four of these factions.

Just tell me what factions are lacking, and I'll fill in a slot.

Name: Elandril

Nickname: El

Race: Bosmer (Wood Elf)

Gender: male

Faction: Morag Tong

Age: 32

Appearance: short stature (read: Bosmer) but lean and elegantly muscular. Green eyes, long blond hair. He always (and I mean ALWAYS) keeps a smile on his face. Likes to dress expensively, but is not afraid of getting dirty.

Class: Assassin (in a charming secret agent kind of way)

Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Sneak, Knife throwing, Destruction (Fire spells), Speechcraft, Mercantile

Inventory: the expensive clothes, the dirty clothes, his knives, plenty of money to buy everything he desires

Weapons: he keeps about 12 knives on him constantly, simetimes more. Also, throwing stars are also to his fancy. Carries a whole case of weapons with him. Also likes to use poison.

Armor: usually nothing. He is an assassin, not a warrior. Uses stealth instead.

Bio: El comes from a rich merchant's family so he never needed to worry about money. Schooled in all the traits of a gentleman, he wanted to do something with his life. He left behind the boring life of a future merchant and decided to something more interesting. So he joined the Morag Tong and spent a lot of effort to "become the greatest assassin in history". He only looks for a propper target that would make him famous.
Despite his arrogance, he is a very skillful assassin. He keeps a perfect score record, he is quite a perfectionist.
He likes to blow up stuff with fire spells. Spent a lot of time and effort to master the Fire side of Destruction school. Does not have infinite magicka on his hands but usually doesn't need it.
He does not bother with lockpicks, he prefers to blow the door away. If using a silent approach, will use Unlock/Open spells.
He has a ring, enchanted with Invisibility, but would only use it in an emergency. He would NEVER do a job with the ring on. He likes his targets to see him. He likes to mess with their heads before he cuts their heads off.
He likes women. The taller they are, the better (in his case, usually every woman). He tires of them quickly so he has no desire of settling down.
Has a most charming approach to people. Would pay a drink and laugh with his target and stab them in the next moment. He kills because it makes him feel... good.

Yay! now the Opening Post:

--------------------------------------------------------

Lex was furious. He had just wasted 7 guards searching the Waterfront for clues, until they went missing. He climbed to the top of his Watchtower to meet Levien Bammelton, a Dark Brotherhood member. 'Tell me what happened!' bellowed Lex, his cheeks red with rage.
'Now now Lex, calm down,' Leveien whispers smoothly. 'Me and two other, shall we say, observers, suspect it is the Morag Tong--' He was cut off.
'THE MORAG TONG??!!?? Oh by the Nine, it gets better!' screams Lex.
'But if you let me finish,' Levien continues. 'I have a team working on it. hopefully the Thieves Guild aren't anything to do with it, or else that would be trouble,'
''You can go now,' Lex sighs. Once the murderer was gone, he called up one of his lieutenants.
'Yes sir?' he asks.
'Gaius, I want you and 4 other men to search the city for, dare I say it, Morag Tong assassins. We have a lead on them in the city,'
'Im on it sir,' Gaius replies, already going back down the stairs. When he's gone, Lex curses and lies down.

----------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, the Gray Fox called up Hands-In-Pockets to his meeting room. 'Hands, I want you an 4 other thieves to steal everything in Ol' Lex's Watchtower. You will be paid by me; it's not an official guild contract, but it does concern the Guild.'
'Why sir?' the young argonian replies.
'Oh, you will know soon enough my friend,' the Gray Fox chuckles.
'Ok, I will ask around to see who wants to do it,' Hands-In-Pockets smiles before leaving the room.

------------------------------------------------------------


OOC: That should start people off. If not, make up a way to come in :D

With a wry smile on his face, Elandril watched the Captain of the Imperial Watch climbing into the watchtower. By the expression on the Captain's face he could very well imagine what went on in his head.

"I think I will have another glass of ale," he said with his musical voice and the Altmer innkeeper swiftly approached, carrying a flagon. The Bloated Float Inn usually wasn't the place for rich people to drink so the innkeeper wanted to do everything in his power to make his wealthy customer feel good about spending his time and gold here.

It turned out that Waterfront in fact was the best place to start looking for his targets. He was instructed to kill as many members of Dark Brotherhood as he can find but Elandril had a more ambitious goal in mind. He was set on finding the leaders of the Brotherhood and eliminating all he could get his hands on.

First, there was a matter of finding who is linked with whom. It was not known who ordered the contract on the Gray Fox, but the Fox himself had a vague feeling on who it might be. Therefore Elandril decided to make the Captain's life a bit more miserable than usual to see his reactions. If he was indeed the person who ordered the contract, he would probably meet with a member of the Brotherhood soon.

Elandril's smile widened even further as he observed a cloaked figure emerging from the same watchtower just a few minutes later. There were far too many people in the Waterfront for him to follow such a person without someone noticing him so he didn't even got up from his seat. His question had been answered. He knew who it was that put out the order.

OCC: Dam it i had to rewrite this, hit the wrong button

The Imperial droped as the arrow hit him in the stomach. Vontus Idolus was the last of the famed vampire killer in Skingrad, and J'Jazha chased him all the way to Burma. J'Jazha was immpressed. The vampire hunter lead him on a merry chase all around Cyrodill. But the chase was at an end as the cold night bote into the heart of the Imperial.

"W-w-why are you doing this? you not even a vampire? sobed the hunter, as he laid on the ground, clutching the arrow that was sticking out of his stomach.
"Because you and your little gang killed alot of my friend. you don't deserve to walk across Cyrodill braging about how you kill vampires in there sleep and with magic. You disgust me. And now, your going to die" J'Jazha pulled his steel dagger and stabed Vontus in the heart. He took 3 deep breaths and pulled the dagger out and walk to Burma.

When he got Into Bruma, he headed to the Jerall View Inn. The Khajiit counldn't figure out why the Innkeeper Named it the Jerall View Inn, seeing at how it faced away from the monutains. As he walk in the bar, he told the Innkeeper to get him an ale.

Thomas walking to the sewers to meet his dealer, and while he walks around he sees an unusually a lot of guards going to the waterfront district,
"Hmm, something is about to go down." he says to himself, but doesn't pay attention to the guards and climbs down to the sewers.
He looks around and goes to his meeting place on the bridge going to the ladder under the weapon shop, he sees his dealer walking towards him and stops.
"Were you followed?" Thomas says
"Nope, do you have the stolen antique shield from the shield shop?" he says like he was planning to do something
"Yeah i got it, and let me tell you, it was hard trying to knock out the fighters guild security, but i managed to get this damn shield!" said Thomas with the anger in his voice.
"Give it here" he said, then Thomas slides the shield towards the shady looking dunmer.
"GUARDS!" he shouts and the come out of nowhere from all sides,
"we got you now, you little bosmer!" says the Guard Captain with a grin on his face.

Thomas looks around and sees he is surrounded, trying to remember he can't kill the guards and he quickly thinks of something,
"You traitor!" he says with the anger in his voice and summons a Flash fire spell all around the room and jumps towards the wall and lands on the ground under the bridge and starts to run.

"Go get him!" says the guard captain they all go running after him.
"He is too fast" says a guard while he stops and trying to catch his breathe.

Thomas still running and sees some guards catching up to him.
"Basterds" he says then he drops some slime on the floor and he goes up the ladder.

The guards fall and lose sight of him, Thomas walks towards the gate and enters the waterfront and goes to the Bloated Float Tavern and sits down in a shady corner and orders a tankerd of ale.

thomas goes back and sits down back at his table,
"Ormil, get me a fresh tankerd of Cyrodiilic Ale" as he says to the elf,
"here you are my bosmer friend" says Ormil, "thanks, and don't tell the guards in was here, thanks for the ale" he says with a worry.

as he drinks his ale two more thieves guild join him,
"do you have the money for the Gray Fox?" says the imperial
"no i don't, i was double crossed." Thomas said, "well you better get that damn money, or its coming out of your bag!" says the Bosmer with anger in his voice.
"here just take the gold, 3000 right?" said thomas,
"thats good, twice as much as it was worth" said the bosmer, "well be in touch Thomas" said the imperial.
as they left thomas got up and went to meet one of his friends to get half the fine off his arrest.

he goes outside and sees Captain Lex coming into the bloated float,
"what the hell?" he says, with captain lex listening.
Thomas leaves and runs to the sewers under the arena.
