Go back to the room with the statue, and kick down the door, brandishing your sword and screaming "IT'S POKER TIME!". Kill anything that moves before you even see it properly, it could be the shadow creature.

Go back to the room with the statue, and kick down the door, brandishing your sword and screaming "IT'S POKER TIME!". Kill anything that moves before you even see it properly, it could be the shadow creature.

Vanas returns to the room with the statue. Somehow, the door has already been opened. To satisfy his excitement, Vanas closes the door, then kicks it open, yelling "It's time for the poker!", rushing in. Sadly enough, the room seems devoid of life.

The room appears to be an armory, though it's been ransacked. The only remaining useful items appear to be a Silver Longsword, a Steel Cuirass, and a iron shield. Vanas looks around the room, seeing nothing else of use.

((Remember, there's still another door by the dead altmer scholar.

))

Take and equip all the armor and weapons. Leave your cuirass in the room, keep the shortsword sheathed if you still can, if not, drop it. Go to the room with the dead altmer, and kick open the door screaming "It's poker time!".

What's with you and poker time?

Vanas equips the Cuirass, Shield, and Sword, dropping his shortsword and leather cuirass. He ventures back to the hallway leading to the dead altmer. He walks up to his corpse, curious if he should loot it or not. The robe is likely stained with a lot of blood now, though. Shrugging, he kicks open the door next to his body, but it was trapped! As soon as the door flies open, Vanas is blasted back by a explosion of fire. Luckily his Scrib was searching the body for food, and didn't get hurt. Vanas lands on the ground hard, grunting. He stands up slowly, brushing off the ash and soot, and examining his wounds. Lucky, just a few burns.

Vanas, ruining his chance of yelling about time and poker, walks into the room. He stumbles upon what looks like a massive throne room, with a large diamond-encrusted throne to his left, and a large gate to his right. Around the room are a few other doors, as well as stairs leading up from behind the throne.

Use your sword to break the diamonds off of the throne, then leave the cave, return to town, sell them, and retire in luxury.

And Walrus, he can't leave, as he can't fly back up from the chasm. (He fell)

Oh, sorry, I forgot.

Break as many diamonds off of the Throne as you can, anyway, and stuff them into your inventory. After that, examine the gate to see what it's made of. Then push it open and look through to see if it leads to the outside.

Vanas walks over to the throne, gazing at it's beauty. Whoever sat here was very important. Vanas glanced at the diamonds on the throne, curious. He takes out his steel dagger, attempting to dig it under the diamonds. Unfortunately, they're melted in with the metal. However, the slightly larger one at the top comes out with ease. Vanas grins, stuffing it into his pack. Vanas then runs over to the gate, examining it as well. Sadly, no diamonds. Just heavy wood.

Vanas strains to open the gate with all his strength, pushing it open just wide enough to slip through. Vanas peeks out, seeing nothing but another chasm made of rock and gravel. Vanas looks closer, however, and sees a figure further down the chasm. It appears to be humanoid.

Try and look closer and see if the chasm is deep enough that he wouldn't be able to climb out again if he went down.

First hall led to a pit which fell into a chasm

This one isn't filled with water. Just imagine a very large and wide cave, with no light at the end.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:55 pm

Take the sword, and charge at the humanoid screaming about pokers. Try it run it through if it becomes shocked by your sudden barrage.

Take the sword, and charge at the humanoid screaming about pokers. Try it run it through if it becomes shocked by your sudden barrage.

Vanas steps out from the gate, staring at the figure down the chasm. He readies his blade, and rushes at him. Gasping, Vanas sees the other figure do the same. When the figure gets into his torch light, the first thing Vanas notices is his white eyes and pale expression. It's a Dunmer, but It's also a Vampire.

Vanas attempts to stab it in the chest, but the vampire side-steps and kicks Vanas in the thigh. Vanas stumbles, then raises his sword again for another strike. Vanas swings down, but the vampire dodges yet again. This time the Vampire draws a dagger, and tries to slit Vanas' throat. Vanas crouches under the slash, lunging his blade forward into the Vampire's leg. The vampire screeches in agony, this time getting angry. Vanas shoved the vampire to the ground before attempting to run back to the gate.

Vanas suddenly trips, and notices a long wet tentacle wrapped around his ankle. What on nirn did this creature summon!? Vanas cuts the tentacle, and staggers back up. Vanas is stopped yet again as the tentacle wraps around his throat. Vanas is pulled close to the vampire, and is staring him in the face. Vanas shoves his torch into the Vampire's face, and it screeches in agony yet again, falling back and the tentacles disappearing. Vanas rushes as fast as he can to the gate, enters, and closes it shut behind him. Vanas then lowers the wooden support to lock it. Exhausted, Vanas falls to the floor, sitting against the wall. The throne room incredibly dark from Vanas' lack of torch.

Vanas should make sure the throne room is sealed up tight, then get some sleep.

Vanas should make sure the throne room is sealed up tight, then get some sleep.

Vanas, sure that the gate is sealed, crawls over to a dark corner, and uses his pack as a pillow. His scrib props up next to his chest, lying in his arms. Vanas quickly falls asleep.

Vanas has dreams of his home, seeing his wife and sitting to enjoy a beautifully cooked meal. Suddenly this dream turns into a nightmare, as the dark figure seen earlier passes by frequently, making everything darker and darker. Then Vanas finds himself in another chasm, and around him are multiple vampires. Suddenly, spines reach out of the ground, wrap around Vanas, and pull him under the dirt.

Vanas woke up 4 hours later. He rubbed his eyes and sat up against the wall, looking around. Still the same. This feeling of loneliness eventually got to Vanas, making him feel a little fearful.

Vanus should use the stairs behind the throne.

Vanas stands up, grabbing the leash holding the Scrib, puts his pack back on, and walks over to the stairs behind the throne. He walks up, and uses the double doors in the middle. Behind them is a spiral staircase leading up. Vanas takes them, and walks for what seems like an hour. When he finally reached the top, there was a long hallway in front of him. Vanas walked down it, and took the door to the right at the end. On the other side is a room which he assumes is a dining hall, as there is a table stretched far to the other side of the room, with many chairs and plates. Candles also light up the table like a harvest. However, the table has no food. Vanas looks over to what looks like the entrance to a Wine cellar to his left, and a servants quarters to his right. At the end of the hall are large double doors, embroidered with an elegant gold design.

He should open the really fancy embroidered double doors. That must be the personal quarters of someone important.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:46 am

Before that ^, he should enjoy a drink or two of the spirits to settle his nerves, and then continue his adventure with what Darth suggested.

You know, anyone is free to name his scrib

((NOTE: At the end of this story is a conversation. Conversations can be suggested in a number of ways. The easiest would be to say "Vanas should have a polite/normal/blunt conversation." Another way would to say exactly what to say, as long as it's supported by an action afterwards. As well, the first option can have an action as well. And, of course, theres nothing stopping you from telling Vanas to kill the guy for no real reason, or to do something otherwise silly.))

Considering Vanas has no sprites on him, he ventures down to the wine cellar. The cramped room seems to be made of very old wood, and Vanas carefully watches his step in case he steps on brittle wood and falls down something. Vanas examines the bottles on the racks, gives them a quick turn, and takes the two most attractive looking bottles. The labels are too dirty to read fully, but they're red tinted bottles. Vanas uses his dagger to take the cork off one, and sits on the stairway to enjoy a sip or two to settle his nerves.

A few minutes later, feeling a tad bit tipsy but not enough to disorient him, Vanas emerges from the cellar. Seeing nothing has changed from the dining hall, Vanas moves down to the double doors. He grasps the handles and swings them open. He suddenly hears a gasp within the room, and once the candlelight from within gets to him, he notices a man standing inside. The room appears to be the bed quarters of whoever ruled this place, with a large double bed with fancy sheets, a closet with elegant designed clothes, and several other drawers. The man standing in the room appears to have a middle-class look to him, but he seems unarmed. It looks like a imperial with a tall stature, with a light beard and frightened look. Vanas looks around quickly, and notices something interesting. On top of one of the drawers next to the bed, is what appears to be an elegant longsword of elven design, with gems embroidered in it's hilt and blade containing several etchings as well. Suddenly the man begins to speak.

"Who in blazes are you?"

Vanas should close himself cautiously to the elven sword and answer politely and then try to talk a little about what is happening. Vanas and the stranger should also move away from the entrance and put themself in a position which makes it harder to sneak up back on them.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:35 am

Drunkenly stumble over to him, muttering curses loudly, and bluntly and rudely ask him who he is and where the bathroom is. State at his crotch pervertedly while this is happening.

Also, name the scrib Vehk.

Vanas should close himself cautiously to the elven sword and answer politely and then try to talk a little about what is happening. Vanas and the stranger should also move away from the entrance and put themself in a position which makes it harder to sneak up back on them.

Vanas glares at the sword, then back at the man.

V: "Greetings, friend. I am Vanas, an adventurer of sorts."

The imperial just stares him down.

G: "Obviously. You definitely look like one. What're you here for?"

V: "I've heard of valuable riches here, and I am in need of it for my family. Any helpful information you could tell me would be greatly appreciated."

The imperial glances behind Vanas for a moment. He then walks over to the doors, closing them.

G: "Can't be too careful around here. Anyway, you're here for the treasure are you? I suppose I could help you with that, assuming you'll help me. I came here looking for a valuable artifact myself, and seemed to have gotten myself lost. Since then I've took up residence here, and haven't dared go outside. Too many voices and whispers from otherworldly beings, and whatnot."

Vanas chuckles

V: "Yeah, I heard about voices in a journal I read from an Altmer mage I met not too far long ago. He heard stuff too."

The imperial raises a brow, glancing behind Vanas.

G: "Where is this altmer?"

Vanas hesitates.

V: "He went down a different path. I don't know where he is now."

The imperial nods, then glances over at the sword on the drawers that Vanas seemed to keep glancing to.

G: "Tell you what, you get me out of here alive, and that sword is yours. I'll also tell you anything I know about the treasure."

Vanas thinks. The imperial looks trustworthy, but it's not uncommon to find swindlers around these parts.

V: "Before I agree to anything, what's your name, and what were you looking for?"

The imperial nods, almost surprised.

G: "Oh, I apologize. My name is Gustav. I came here looking for an item known as the 'Rat's eye charm'. I came here in hopes of finding it and studying it's enchantments, which are said to be able to charm even the most fearsome beast into being friendly. It probably wouldn't be of any use to you, as it's magic is locked down with a barrier that only I know how to unlock. But I'd need to take it back to my workshop to do that."

Vanas nods, looking back at the sword. It definately is beautiful, and looks as though it would be very durable and useful. But he's still unsure if he should trust this man.

G: "So will you help me?"
