The End of an Era 45

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 9:58 am

OOC: I agree with Adeth, the OOC pvssyr really needs to cut down. Their where nine posts of pure OOC in the last page out of 20 posts per page. and heads to up everyone in the "spy killing group", I may not be able to post that much during the week, so feel free to take control of Paulus monday through thrusday if necesary. besdies, it would be intresting to read someone else's version of RPing with Paulus. Hopefully if it happens, i'll pick up some good tips.

IC:

He turned and spoke to the newest person to arrive at Cloud Ruler.


"Their several spys that are suspected to be mythic dawn agents, and they may have information that we can not allow to be spread. Like the fact that the only survivng heir to the Septim throne is here in the temple. Regardless, they need to be killed, any written information they have destroyed, but first read. At the very least we need to take them hostage and bring them here to interogate them."

He said in respone to the Argonions quarry. He felt himself begin to be filled with excitment, before he began calming himself. excitment led to bad judgement, bad judgemend led to mistakes, and mistakes led to injry.

"Their are several suspected mythic dawn spies along the road to Cloud Ruler temple, possibly by a Runestone. Their located southwest from here, and usually appear at dusk. Even if their not mythic dawn spies, if they resist, we'll have to kill them. If not, we'll end up having to take them back here, unless their is a objection. Their armed, but the quality and quantity of their equipment is unknown. It must at least be iron if they where able to hold off a pack of wovles, thats at least three, without obvious injurys. We can begin the serach now, and at least find their places of occupation or the areas they most occupy, then tomorrow at dusk amubsh them. I'm ready, whenever you all are, we can go out. I doubt their will be Blades to support us if we run into to much trouble unless we're near the walls, so be armed well.

that's all I got."

ooc: I'll give it a shot. I need experience with 'normal' people. ^_^

ic: When she finished, Veyar looked down at her and grinned. "And that sounds more like the woman I fell in love with," He said pleasantly, "I haven't ever met a woman quite like you, Karstine. I have to say that I'm frequently impressed by your strength and resolve. Enough to send a chill down a Daedroth's spine, if you ask me. Those teeth are fierce!" Karst cracked a grin and laughed again.

"I think, in a biting contest, I'd bet on the Daedroth." She laughed, smiling up at Veyar, her eyes alight again with the usual glitter of mischief they usually held. "But.. thanks."

They walked another few yards before they came to the northern gates. The gate attendants opened them to allow them through as they approached and, the moment they stepped out, the wind picked up and sent a shiver through Karst's body. "Freakin' hell it's cold." She commented, pulling her coat tight around herself.

"Remind me," Veyar said, "To bring a cloak next time."

"I doubt it'd have helped; it just gusts under my coat. My legs are effing frozen. You could stab me there and I'd feel nothing." Karst replied to him, then adjusted her pants a little. "Bleeding hell, I can't feel my [censored] either." She observed casually, then made a face, "That'd be a helluvah place to get frostbite, wouldn't it? Hmph. I vote we go find someplace with a fire when we get back to the temple before something on me freezes solid.."

As they walked on, Karst looked up at the temple, then leaned over on Veyar again. "You know.. I'm happy you're back, but.. I'm still a little pissed. I hope you know that." Karst told him idly as they walked, "But.. I'm not foaming-at-the-mouth angry anymore, so.. you're making progress." She added and chuckled.
_______
As Melanarde sat on the edge of the Argonian's bed, her right index finger tracing the flames tattooed on her left hand as she waited for something to happen. In her head, she was upset she'd missed the Dunmer and the little feline with him, but figured that the chances of them being related were admittedly too slim to warrant getting too irked over it. The Breton that had been talking to Xerxes knelt by the unconscious Imperial on the ground and looked at him. "So much chaos today," Mel heard him say, then heard the soft release of breath in a sigh. He then turned around to face the her. "Ah, hello then. As I said to the Khajiit, I'm Gregory Rolston, Mage's Guild. I'd love to know what spell you used to mend his wounds, but knowing my Restoration skills, I probably couldn't use it anyway."

"Well, actually--" She began, but he'd started talking already so she fell silent.

"You look vaguely familiar. Name sounds familiar too. Blasted ale. Never again am I going to drink, and if Volanaro offers it to me, I'll set him on fire. Ah, but now I'm rambling again. My apologies. If you don't mind, I'd like to stay until the Argonian tells his story. I just love mysteries. Well, that and I already paid for this room."

Mel just sat there a couple seconds, making sure he was done this time before talking. "You paid for the room? Hm, well thanks. As for the familiarity, you've probably heard of me within the Mage's Guild.." Mel gave a little posh laugh and grinned. "I'm a subject of much aggravation to a lot of the higher-ups in the Guild; I was expelled for refusing to either give up using my magicka for mercenary work on the side or pay them a percentage of each of my commissions. I decided I didn't need them, so I did neither."

Melanarde knew this could be treason in the eyes of some, but she didn't really care about those people much as she thought that anyone who couldn't see past the rules and appreciate what she did do for the Guild even despite her constant mistreatment there was an ass and didn't matter anyway. "I'm told I particularly annoy the Archmage with what I do, though I cannot fathom why Traven cares so damn much what I'm doing with my talents. Maybe he's just jealous that he's chained to the Guild and I'm not." Mel laughed. "But anyway, if you're not one of the pompous ass elitist types, I think we'll get along despite all that, hm?"

Viuven-Ru
Cloud Ruler Temple kitchens


Viuven tilted his head slightly as the man detailed everything going on with the mission. His scaly head was spinning as Paulus rattled off the details as if reading from a script. The Argonian blinked, trying to take it all in. The first few he knew about already. Viuven had met and conversed with Martin Septim a few times in the past and found him a good, if troubled, man.

Hmph, I would know more about being troubled than he, probably. Martin does not have another mind floating around in his head. As he thought this, Viuven could feel his mental blocks seeping, and the warm heat of the Other was on the edge of his mind. Sometime soon, Viuven knew, he'd have to spend some time meditating to keep the Other at bay and refresh his mental defenses.

The Argonian finished off the meal that Iris had so thoughtfully prepared and mumbled his thanks to her before turning to Paulus. "Spies if they are, little armed think I that be they would." Viuven replied with a slight tilt of his head, "Weapons and armor muchly used significant of warrior or soldier, is. Spies do not associate want to be with a soldier. Best weapon of spies is stealth."

Viuven's fangs gleamed as he grinned, "Much know about stealth, I. Use weapons of stature little, or weapons of conjuration does spies." He continued, "Methinks little weapons be us encountering in spies' hands." Viuven turned to glance at Iris as he finished his point, "Of good meal from Iris have drawn energy, to I. If ready in evening this one are you, then be I ready as ever to go and provide significance of help."



Veyar Nydelvu
Outside the North Gate, Bruma


Veyar chuckled and felt a little extra blood rise in his cheeks as Karst talked about her womanly frostbite, and how much she'd dislike that to happen. Even in Morrowind he hadn't heard a woman talk that bluntly about herself. But Karst is no ordinary woman, and that's why you love her. Veyar thought to himself with a tight smile. Briefly he considered cracking a pun about 'warming her up' to avoid the frostbite, but bit his remark short before he could utter it. Not only would it be immature, but Karst made it clear that there were still things they needed to work through.

It's a good sign that she's willing to work through them, though. Veyar decided, wrapping his arm around her as she leaned against him. They walked up the path towards Cloud Ruler Temple, and he briefly considered what to say next. It didn't take too long.

"Well, if you're still hungry, I could go with something to eat by the fire at Cloud Ruler." He said softly, "Then, while you're chewing your food, you can chew me out to your heart's content. Vehk knows I deserve it. I'd like to hear what's on your mind, even though I have a fair idea what it might be. You need to get it off your chest, and I need to hear it." Veyar smirked and kissed her gently at the base of her ear as they walked, "I have something for you, when we get there, anyway. Besides some sujamma, that is," Veyar smirked a bit more and added, "Because you deserve everything I can give you, my little kitten."

ooc: Korroded, go ahead and just have Jet have stalked 'em all the way there if you want. Karst's certainly too busy to bother looking behind her.

ic: As they climbed the path up to the temple, his arm around her and her head on his pauldron, Karst closed her eyes and just let her feet carry her in whatever direction Veyar was going at the time. Her boots crunched on the frozen earth beneath her as she walked cuddled up to her former lover. As often happens when one shuts their eyes, she got immersed in the myriad of thoughts swirling in her mind at the moment and lost all track of time.

I wish I could believe that he's not going to leave again. Hell, I want to believe it, I just.. Mentally, she sighed, I just know better by now. Everybody lies, even if they don't mean to, to advance their own interests. Veyar's no exception, I'm sure. But what if he really isn't going to leave this time? Do I dare trust him and risk it? I care about him still, maybe even love him still, but I can't just forget all of the anguish he's put me through, even if he does have a good explanation for it all.

Karst shifted a little on Veyar's pauldron and reached one gauntlet around to the chest of his armor, hooking her middle finger on the bonemold collar of the piece of equipment to keep her hand there. Another bit of thought came to her and she sighed a silent plume of steam.

And then there's Odeen; he's sweet, he's committed, loyal and has been here for me even when Veyar left me behind. He's never betrayed me once. But.. he's also so timid that a relationship could ultimately end up.. strained. I can bet on having no six life and children are impossible. But.. I'd be loved unconditionally and never have to fear being left behind, since I'm really all he's got. Either way, whatever I do, I hurt the other one by rejecting them. Either way, I forfeit something. Why can't anything just be [censored] simple?

As she finished this thought, she was about to latch onto another bit of thought that was floating in her head when her foot caught something and she started to stumble. She latched the other three fingers on the one hand onto Veyar's collar, her thumb claw digging into the temple cloth around his neck and shoulders. Her other hand shot up and grabbed hold of the scabbard belt on one of the katanas that hung from Veyar's body. Looking down, she saw they'd reached the stairs of the temple. Was I really lost in thought that long? I thought it was just a minute at the most.. Did I fall asleep? No, I couldn't have..

Karst blinked and looked up at Veyar, a sheepish grin on her face. "Sorry.. Hope I didn't almost pull you over.." She apologized. I think I should at least give Odeen a chance to go out on a date with me at least one time. If he wants to, that is.. "So.. you mentioned more food. What'd you have in mind?"

OOC: short post to follow up

IC:

Jet sluggishly climbed the icy mountain path behind the two ahead, mostly looking down at the snow as he walked while occasionally glancing up. He saw the woman snuggle up to the Dark Elf as they walked. Aw crap... she's taken, ah well maybe she's got some hot feline friends...

Soon they approached a large secluded temple in the mountains, large gates swung open and the two began climbing the stairs to the upper tier. "Holy cow... how come i've never heard of this place before?" he exclaimed out loud as he paused momentarily to look at the building, shortly followed by a change of pace as he power walked the last bit to reach the stairs in case of the gates closing.

Adeth nodded in understanding to Paulus. The news were good and he really needed something useful to do and this was just that. 'Thank you, Paulus.' He said with a smile.

Adeth turned to Viuven. 'We've met some of them in the past.' He began to fill in on the matters. 'Their armors appear from thin air and so they dont need to carry the. They can wait in the shadows where they cant be seen and when you see them, their crimson robes change into dark armor and they'll try to kill you.' He told Viuven in a bit of a wavering tone. The beginning of the events came to his mind accompanied by the image of their corspes lying on the ground and... Mia in the middle of it all.

Adeth suddenly shook his head and shivered strongly. It was something he didn't like to remember. 'They vary from different field of specialization to the other. But the killing precense can be compared that of a dremora.' He finished a bit reluctantly, he didn't like the feeling it gave him.

Teegus had not realized he fell asleep, Until he woke up, he groggily rubbed his eyes. What time was it? Better yet, What's going on? He was confused. First, he was approached by a Strange man in dark-clad armor, attacked, then nearly gutted. Now, he was lying in bed, all his wounds healed up. This had been a strange day.

He slowly forced himself to sit up, he yawned tiredly and stretched his legs. The sound of talking caught his attention as he bolted his head around the Room. Three people were in the room with him, four including the Imperial man, slumped, bound, and unconscious in the corner. A giant-of-a Khajiit seemed to be keeping an eye on him, a Breton, and an Elf seemed to have been engaged in a conversation, but now they were both focused on Teegus. He looked straight at them with puzzled eyes.

He need to now what was going on. He attempted to speak, but only a strange form of gibberish came out. He stopped, looked down a little and began scratching the side of his head. What the hell did I just say...? Before trying again, he used his tongue to moisten the dry muscles in his mouth. He then took a deep breath. ''Whats....going on?''

Gregory listened intently to the woman's explanation of her position in the Guild. Or rather, the lack thereof. He was quite surprised to hear what she had to say. He was the sort of person that was very proper, always following every rule and command to the letter, but he wasn't the judgmental type, and her actions in the Guild didn't affect him in any way, so why should he care? "Well you don't have to worry about any of that from me. I'm not exactly well liked in the Guild either, but for completely different reasons. Annoying the Archmage. Now isn't that quite the accomplishment? It seems I'm just meeting all sorts of interesting people today."

He took a coin out of his pocket and began flipping it in the air. He wasn't used to not having anything consuming his attention. Usually, he had a book to read, a mission to complete, spells to practice, or, very rarely, someone to talk with about his interests. Bruma wasn't exactly the best place to come across such people though, and the days when he could speak at length about magic or history were mostly long gone. He looked back at the Khajit and the still unconscious Imperial and commented, "You know, I don't get out much anymore, so I have to ask. Are things always this... Chaotic, these days?"

A few moments after he said that, the Argonian began to stir. He looked at him curiously as he sat up and stretched his legs. When the Argonian first began to speak, he said something completely unintelligible. Gregory wondered briefly if maybe that was the Argonian's native language, but he quickly chastised himself for that thought. He had met Argonians before, and that hadn't sounded anything like what they had said. My memory really is a mess today.

When the Argonian began to speak normally, the first thing he did was to ask what was going on. "Well, from what I understand, you were attacked by two men. The Khajit over there killed one and captured the other one lying in the corner. He then brought you here, where you were healed by Ms. Melanarde. All I did was pay for the room and generally ramble on about nothing." Gregory chuckled a bit at the last part.

this is a temporary character i have lined up while FC4 decides not to post to me lol. He will remain until the side plot is over, or maybe hang around for a while anyways.

Name: Lucifer
Gender: M
Race: Seducer (primary form Imperial)
Age: unknown (appears 25)

Height: 1.8 m
Eye Color: black (blue in Primary form)
Hair Style: black and upper chest height
Skin Color: regular toned skin (imperial wise).

Class: spell blade
Class Focus: magic/combat

Major Skills: blade, destruction, conjuration, illusion, block

General Appearance: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b334/shadow620/SamuraiShowdown.png

Lucifer is appears as a handsome imperial with a good physique. his body is fre of scars other than his right eye in his true form (no scars are

visible in his primary form) as a seducer he has jade-green scaly wings which is normal for all Seducers. Often when enraged, Lucifer's eyes change to

a more daedric red, as more of a means to scare off the less brave.
Tattoos/Scars: daedric L-shaped scar at the base his eyes, many tourture wounds on his body for not completing a task due to his falling out.
Apparel Worn Most Often: an extravagant outfit of black with gold trimming on both the shirt and pants.
Apparel worn least often: armour of any kind
Weapons: a unique daedric longblade that appears almost silver in appearance due to its enchantment. (does shock and frost damage)

Spells: Summon daedra, fireball, freeze, lightning bolt, miscellanious destructive and copnjuration spells, charm mortal, paralyse.

Mental Description: many millenia have made Lucifer an expert at what he does, seducing women, among other things. He has learnt that patience is a virtue, and that emotional attachment with mortals was something that would always end in tragedy. He is loyal to his sphere and his daedric prince Mephala, and will do what must be done in his/her name. He has come to control his emotions when in mortal form, and has no morals when dealing with the tasks at hand. After all, morals were for mortals.

Brief History: Lucifer has lived since the dawn of creation as all daedra have, his history dating even further than early recorded history. the mortal plane was always a strange thing to understand from a daedra's point of view, and even now, many things allude the Seducer.Being a servant of the Daedra prince Mephala, Lucifer was her blade, her eyes and ears, as all that were created. most of his life was built around loyalty to his master, and being a symbol of perfection, or so he thought.

Many missions on Nirn he had never become attached to any of the women he used to gain information and as an anchor to the plane. However on one mission of gathering intelligence of the status of Tamriel in particular, Lucifer discovered something he had not experienced before. Love. It was a strong sensation for him to feel.. something he had never felt before in his long life. Lucifer was in the form of an Imperial to infiltrate a royal family, when he met a beautiful woman. Unlike many of the mortals he had wooed, this woman was perfect in everyway. When he played his part, he couldn't help but be enthralled by her.

Disregarding his mission, Lucifer ended up marrying the noble woman and living with her a great number of years. However he was about to feel another emotion he had never felt before. Grief, and Saddness. Being a daedra, he would never die of old age, or truely die at all and seeing the one he had blindly fell in love with on her death bed, broke his mind for the next millenia.Upon returning to his realm, he was punished severely for an era never receiving the blow to send him to the waters. Since that day Lucifer had become cold, and was able to keep his Emotions in check, never to fall for another mortal again. During the time that he spends on Nirn, wether it was being summoned or otherwise, Lucifer has been taught many skills that he never would have picked up in Oblivion. Most of which were fighting skills, and unique spells.

Being involved in many battles between daedric realms, and on Nirn itself, Lucifer had made a name for himself, being one to never surrender, and to fight like one possessed. His nickname was 'Fallen One' because of his betrayal, that had never been repeated. A formiddible opponent, many daedra themselves do not wish to get on the badside of the seducer who would betray a prince to get what he wanted. In recent years, Lucifer had begun teaching other seducers how to experience mortal emotions, to be able to mimic them when on Nirn. As to be able to infiltrate completely one must act like one, and even goes to lengths of sealing a Seducer's memory away so they can understand the Mortal mind. his most recent one, Demona, was placed within a powerful organisation that had ties to the emperor of Tamriel, and was to remain until she was able to fully understand them and mortal feelings. However something went wrong and the power that was felt from a seal being broken was felt, causing Lucifer to investigate what had happened, and if the Grandmaster was the one responsible..

(my temp char, bored)

Name: Ares
Gender: Male
Race: Seducer (Main form Nord)
Age: Unknown but is very young in daedra years, appears to be in late 20s

Height: towers around 7ft tall
Eye Color: Black (Silver in human form)
Hair Style: dark, shoulder length hair tied with a leather chord to keep out of his face
Skin Color: Tanned

Class: Hunter
Class Focus: Combat

Major Skills: Axes, Marksman, Alchemy, speechcraft, mysticism, destruction

General Appearance: Ruggedly handsome, lots of muscle and towering height, somewhat gaunt face
Tattoos/Scars: Many scars from battles but also of torture for some minor mishappens.
Red streaks swirling around his body in seducer form

Apparel Worn Most Often: A bear skin hunter's vest and pants of the same animal, wears fur boots and gauntlets
Apparel worn least often: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/2...-1233857839.jpg no helm
Weapons: Two Steel bearded axes tied on his belt

Spells: Summon lesser daedra

Mental Description: Even though Ares is a daedra, a seducer, he is cabable of human feelings due to his training under Lucifer, his precense is dominant but if met with a superior he'll know to bow, and can fake respect. He's honorful and does most things by word. Slightly naive.

Brief History: In Mephala's realm he holds a low position due to his age and cababilities. He was also lucky to be taught by Lucifer among some of his other brethren.

Now he has been made Lucifer's contact between MEphala's realm and Nirn as well as a back up, a distraction and a bait.

The freezing cold was something Lucifer had not experienced for some time, as he walked towards the gate of the temple that stood above the town of bruma below. Had it been ten years already since he had been here last? Most had probably already forgotten the meeting between the man and Grandmaster, and so what he was about to do when he arrived should prove interesting to their reactions.

One day prior, the worshippers summoned him for his purpose after being told to by Mephala herself. This task required one of her best, And Lucifer was just that.. Also he had been the one responsible for this incident 10 years prior.

Three times Lucifer knocked upon the large wooden doors, before they were opened a fraction. "What is your business here?" A male voice spoke as Lucifer opened the door more, making the Blade moved back, hand on the hilt.

Lucifer smiled at the Imperial and moved forward. "My business? My business is only for the grandmaster to know, nothing more nothing less. You may want to fetch him." He refrained from saying Mortal to address the man. After all he did not wish to have the entire garrison with thier blades drawn at their throat as soon as he arrived. But what he was about to do next would do just that.

"And who will i say requests his presence?" the blade asked, making Lucifer's smile even broader. He willed himself to change, feeling the wings move in his back and push outwards, the green scaly things were an undeniable feature to be recognised. Instantly the other blades nearbly unsheathed their weapons and held them out.

"I am simply an old acquaintance. The Grandmaster and myself have much to discuss" The seducer said, his blackened eyes looking at the Blade he had spoken to and then the others who had begun to surround him. "I won't bite." He continued and sighed lifting his arms up to prove he was no threat. "You Mortals really sterotype us way too much, even your scholars are unable to recognise"

"Shut it, what makes you think we should even think that you aren't here to kill both Martin and the Grandmaster when they come out here?" Another blade asked, making Lucifer laugh.

"If i was here to kill both your Grandmaster and your precious bastard son of your deceased Emperor, do you think i would show you who i am before meeting them? Jauffre must be getting senile in his age to recruit a man like you" Lucifer mocked making the blade place the blade on his neck. Just before he was about to do something the Grandmaster himself had come out to see what was going on.

"That won't be necessary" Jauffre said as he walked up to where the Blades had surrounded Lucifer. "I thought that you would not return here for some time Lucifer. And I believe I know why you are here" He continued as he looked at the Seducer grimly. "Come to my private room, I am sure you have something you wish to discuss"

Lucifer nodded and returned to his Mortal form, his now blue eyes looking at the old man trying to figure out what the old man was thinking. "At least call off the entire army from having their blades drawn at my throat. I wouldn't want to have to return here a second time after one of your jumpy men cut my throat because I look at them funny" The seducer said and laughed a little. "I don't want to weaken your garrison here after all, especially with what is to come"

Before the blade he was referring to was about to say something Jauffre raised a hand to silence him. "Follow me, but three of my men will accompany us as we walk inside the Temple. I do believe you are true to your word, but this precaution will put my mind at ease." The old man spoke, and the blades (other than three) sheathed their swords, and gave the Seducer an evil look before returning to their duties.

"You haven't changed a bit old man" Lucifer said and shrugged moving his hand to his neck where he could feel a little cut. looking to his right he looked at the blade he had previously insulted. "You are either very confident in your abilities to do such a thing, or very stupid. Since you did not know who i am, or the fact that you would have been a corpse before you fell to the ground for such an action, i will let it slide this once." He said to the blade and his eyes briefly flashed red, and he smiled as he did this, making the blade slightly shake, before he returned them to their icy blue.

With that he followed the Grandmaster to his private room, with the entourage of guards surrounding the Seducer as he walked through the main hall, and glanced over at Martin, and winked at the man, knowing that he knew just by looking at Lucifer what he was. Reaching the room, Lucifer and Jauffre entered, leaving the guards outside. After all even they did not need to hear the discussion the two were about to have concerning someone they all knew.

I will leave it there for now as i have to leave for work. Enjoy that little intro post, and know that only the ones outside at the time would have seen the Seducer as he truly is. Might prove to be interesting to see the reactions of you guys :P

Veyar Nydelvu
Cloud Ruler Temple Courtyard


Veyar and Karst had entered the courtyard in silence. She seemed deep in thought, and Veyar was content to let her have a little silence to think. He needed some time to think as well. As they had ascended the mountain towards Cloud Ruler Temple, Veyar had no idea that they were being followed. His thoughts were focused elsewhere, and on the most unusual of subjects.

Iris...

What had he done to upset the Dunmer woman so badly? It was very likely his bad handling of the situation with Karst and the Telvanni wizard he slew in cold blood was enough to piss off Iris, who Veyar had thought was friends with Karst. After cooking Karst some dinner, perhaps I should see if Iris is alright. There's obviously something going on here, and it needs to be resolved. Before we wind up on the battlefield again and have to rely on each other. If she has something out for me, I don't want my back turned on her.

It couldn't be that bad though, could it? Had it been, Veyar suspected she may have had a lot more hostility in her gaze when she locked eyes with him earlier that evening. Instead she seemed upset and almost... injured.

A bitter chill swept across the mountain and Veyar did his best to shield the small Khajiit from the wind. It wasn't too much farther of a walk, and they arrived at Cloud Ruler Temple. The gates swung open obediently, manned by the doorhands inside who recognized them. The gates swung shut with a clang and Veyar lifted a foot to ascend the stairs and-

Whoof!

Veyar's chestplate pulled unexpectedly against his shoulders, knocking him off balance but not tottering him over. He planted his other foot on the ground quickly and stabilized himself, realizing that Karst had grabbed onto him when she tripped. Good Vehk, she didn't notice the stairs. She quickly covered up her stumble with the grace he had come to admire in every one of her movements and changed the subject swiftly.

"Oh," He said, guiding her up the stairs, his arm still looped around her, "Yeah, I thought I might cook you something since you said you were hungry and chilly. I haven't lived eighty-four years without learning how to cook a decent meal, after all." They ascended the steps, and Veyar stopped by the door to the ancient Akaviri temple. There was an 'incident' between the guards and some man who wanted to enter the Temple.

Veyar couldn't hear the specifics, but he heard the drawing of weapons and voices being raised. He resisted the urge to run over to see what was happening, but several other Blades were already on the way, followed soon after by Jauffre himself. Jauffre's weapon was not drawn, so Veyar assumed there was not a battle. The conversation was out of his view, but the raised voices were lowered and the distant sound of weapons being grudgingly sheathed met his ears. Swords made a distinctively different noise when they were sheathed with reluctant anger. Whoever this person was, the Blades had wanted to kill him. Apparently Jauffre had dissuaded them somehow.

Veyar's face deepened into a glare as he saw the man the Blades escorted up the steps. The first thing he saw were the upper tips of scaled wings, followed soon after by a head he knew all too well.

A foul Daedric Seducer! Veyar spat a curse in Dunmeri, his hand going to the hilt of his ebony katana instinctively. During his time in the Armigers, Veyar had fought more than his share of Daedra summoned by wayward wizards and conjurers. Among them were some of the most terrifying of the foul beasts, such as Daedroths, Hungers, Winged Twilights and the Seducers.

Veyar opened the temple doors for them as they passed, and then turned to Karst. "I don't know if you recognized that thing, but that's a Daedric Seducer. I don't know what in the hells of Oblivion Jauffre is thinking, taking that thing in here, but I don't trust it." He whispered quickly, "There's enough Blades around it to dispatch its mortal form if need be; we won't be needed. I still don't like it, though. We won't have to worry about it." Veyar took a deep breath, trying to convince himself of that statement. He'd seen Seducers do some terrible things. They had the ability to Polymorph, and could change their face and body to look like any mortal man or woman they chose. That was what made them so dangerous. Veyar shook his head slightly and brought a smile to his face, "Now, how about that dinner?"



Viuven-Ru
Cloud Ruler Temple kitchens



Viuven nodded as Adeth explained about the equipment the spies were likely to have. "Armor of conjured through foul Daedra." Viuven replied, "Encountered before, have I." The Argonian shuddered slightly at the thought. He'd even seen Mythic Dawn agents who didn't wear the typical robes, and were dressed in plain civilian clothing, spit a spell and become engirthed with the foul Daedric armor that Mehrunes Dagon granted them.

"Iris, of thanks to you give for meal." Viuven said, standing. He turned to Adeth, "If going evening of this to face Spies, inform me must you now. Preparations done must be of me before facing battle again, I."



OOC: Shorter post for Viuven, but not as much for him to reply to quite yet! :o

OOC: Sorry; lately my mood has tanked like the US economy, and I have a paper due by thursday.

IC:
Mia stood there as Vivian talked to the guards and noticed them looking at he, making the Breton move a little closer to Vivian. For once Mia just wanted to feel normal, but knew thatwasn't going to happen anytime soon. when Vivian replied she smiled at him. "Well that just depends on if you want to keep doing all of this" she said and winked at him knowingly as they walked towards the inn. Olav's probably wasn't the best, as just a week ago it was the place Xio had taken her.. before what happened. The memories of what happened when she actually thought she was normal changed the expression on her face for a moment, when she thought back at what happened.

No.. this is my night with Vivian, and i am not going to dwell on the past.. Mia decided in her mind as she looked back at him. "So.. Are you feeling less nervous yet? This isn't all too much for you yet is it?" She asked as they reached their destination.

"So far, I am thinking I will indeed have to get used to it. Something tells me you won't let me choose otherwise." Vivian replied, grinning in jest as they walked, turning left towards a row of log cabins. Each was a store, home, or inn, decorated in the Nordic style with some Imperial influence. Now they just had to find that sign.

"As for the nervousness, I've got the same feeling I do walking into unknown territory; I could hardly do my job right if I allowed nervousness to control me however, now could I?" He asked, just before finding the Jerral View Inn, and moving towards the door. He held it open for Mia to enter, the warm orange light of the building pouring out into the dark, frigid night.
-----------------------
Iris leaned back in her chair, hand on her chin as she chewed a piece of her own meat and contemplated Paulus' words. A frown grew on her face as he spoke, and she only replied when she swallowed.

"Jauffre did not specifically say we had to kill the spies. We had to take care of them. I'd prefer 'take care of' to mean 'capture', not 'kill'." She explained, crossing her arms over her chest. "We know there are a couple of them; there may be more, hidden away in a base of sorts within Bruma's walls. Capture them and they can tell us where it is, with a bit of coaxing. But if they don't, that's why I'm here, and we have Adeth as well."

She stopped here, turned to look at the Argonian as he rose and spoke, and smiled warmly. "And now we have Viuven-Ru as well. I think we'll be able to find it well enough. And get into it." She looked to all three men in the room with that same smile. "Viuven, thank you, I hadn't expected my meal to make you willing to help though. Paulus, thanks for the report. Adeth, I want you to procure a bit of rope from somewhere. A long bit of rope. All of you get ready, and meet me at the foot of the Temple within an hour or sooner." She picked up anothe slice of meat with her fork, holding it just in front of her.

"And Viuven... whenever there is time, I'd love to learn a few of those stretches." After that she bit the meat and proceeded to continue her meal. She was already prepared... though if they were going to be fighting she'd need to change into her leathers.

Teegus had not realized he fell asleep, Until he woke up, he groggily rubbed his eyes. What time was it? Better yet, What's going on? He was confused. First, he was approached by a Strange man in dark-clad armor, attacked, then nearly gutted. Now, he was lying in bed, all his wounds healed up. This had been a strange day.

He slowly forced himself to sit up, he yawned tiredly and stretched his legs. The sound of talking caught his attention as he bolted his head around the Room. Three people were in the room with him, four including the Imperial man, slumped, bound, and unconscious in the corner. A giant-of-a Khajiit seemed to be keeping an eye on him, a Breton, and an Elf seemed to have been engaged in a conversation, but now they were both focused on Teegus. He looked straight at them with puzzled eyes.

He need to now what was going on. He attempted to speak, but only a strange form of gibberish came out. He stopped, looked down a little and began scratching the side of his head. What the hell did I just say...? Before trying again, he used his tongue to moisten the dry muscles in his mouth. He then took a deep breath. ''Whats....going on?''


OOC:sorry so short.

IC:
Xerxes watched the man awkaen. "Finaly" he said quitely. As the man awoke Xerxes explained what happened, Then taking a piture of water and tossing it on the imperials face he waited for the man to wake up. Xerxes bared his fangs and flexed. Trying to seem as imposing as possible.

Viuven nodded at Iris as she explained the situation further, "Prefer alive capture do I as well." Viuven said, "Of interrogation better that then of life ending." Viuven was relieved the Dunmer woman didn't ask him to get anything to prepare. He had some of his own preparation to do before going into a hostile situation.

"Welcome is to you are," Viuven said to Iris, "Here of help to provide, I have been tasked, and to do so I will do with questions not." He momentarily closed his eyes, cursing himself as he forgot to pay as much attention and focus to his grammar. Not that it matters too much. Viuven thought, Even when I pay careful thought to every word it still comes out jumbled.

Viuven's tail twitched slightly as he walked to the door. Turning, he stopped at the door frame, "Of preparations my own must I do. At the meeting time will be I. Worry not." Viuven nodded again and left, making his way to the barracks on the other side of the building. He caught the tail end of a contingent of guards escorting somebody through the building, but he was too late along to catch who it was they were escorting.

Viuven returned to his room and shut the door. His pack was there by the bed, but that wasn't why Viuven had come. He stripped himself of the robe, the only article of clothing he was wearing, and sat down cross-legged on the bed. Closing his eyes, Viuven emptied his mind as he began meditating and retreated inside himself to the cool mountaintop of his consciousness...

The cool air greeted Viuven's lungs as he found himself in the small hut. He had visited this place many times in the past few years, as Hun-Marka had shown him. This time it was not to think and reflect, though as usual the cool mountain air cleared his mind and let him think with perfect clarity.
Viuven left the modest little hut and found himself on the stone plateau that was the peak of the mountain. There were other mountains around his own, but many were far, far away. There was no snow on Viuven's mountain, but it was chilly enough to cause a momentary shiver to run down his spine. He could see his breath.

Ordinarily, the only sound Viuven heard on his mountain was that of the gentle wind blowing, whispering thoughts to his mind. However, the stone wall that circled the plateau was cracked and crumbling, and more than just the wind was leaking through. He could hear the Other out there, trying to break in.

"It has been too long since I restored these walls." Viuven said to himself. He heard the Other on the other side of the walls, screaming to be let in. Shouting and ranting. The Other was like fire and ice and rage. He was like time and eternity and power. Viuven could not see the Other right now, but he had met him a few times before, when the Other had broken through the wall and gotten in. Each time that happened, Viuven was overpowered and the Other controlled him in the real world. Viuven had once watched helplessly as the Other tried to kill his betrothed. He would not let the Other take control.

Viuven walked up to the wall and set his palms on it. By the simple act of willing it, that segment of the wall was restored to perfect condition. Instantly, Viuven felt weary. He pushed his weariness aside and moved on down the wall, restoring and repairing the mental defenses that prevented the Other from having control.


When Viuven's eyes opened an hour later, he felt mentally sound and braintired, though physically rested from his meditation. It was often difficult to keep up the defenses that kept the Other at bay, but it was a necessary part of his life. Viuven idley wondered how many other people had to fight Others of their own on a daily basis. He knew Jordanna did not, and her psychic talents had allowed her to help him shore up his defenses for extended periods of time. But Jordanna is not here. Viuven told himself, dressing again, You had best get used to that.

Mia smiled at Vivian. "That's right, looks like you will have to be stuck with making me happy" she said and poked her tongue out. She then retracted it as he opened the door, and pecked him on the cheek. "You will be fine Vivian, you can take my hand if that will make you less nervous" the Healer continued and walked through the doorway and into the inn. The two of them then headed to a little table that was a little secluded from the other patrons.

"i think this will do nicely don't you think?" She asked and winked. "Now you don't have to be so embarrassed, we are more or less on our own here.

--

As the door closed, Lucifer turned to the Grandmaster.

"Where is she?" The seducer asked Jauffre, his arms crossed as he spoke, showing displeasure.

"Into Bruma."

"It the seal broken?"

"It was hard to see, but she as acting very different than before she was taken by the Mystic Dawn"

Lucifer's eyes narrowed when Jauffre mentioned that Demona had been captured prior to the seal being broken. "You let them take her away? If they knew what she was they could have used her to destroy all of you."

Jauffre's eyes widened a little realising what he had forgotten. "I did not realise they might manipulate her"

"You didn't. that seal was powerful, and even if broken, only partial memories would return. As it was Dagon's minions who broke the seal they could have awoken her memories when she was within Dagon's ranks. In turn that could have changed where her loyalties lay. I may have given this charge to the wrong man after all if you did not realise that" Lucifer said and anger was plainly seen in his eyes. "She was to have no contact with any daedra, or worshippers of any kind. They can sense our energies, and if they realised what she was and also that she had no memories of her daedric past, then she could have been manipulated as nearly happened with Dagon's meatpuppets."

Lucifer stood there thinking for a moment and then looked back at the Grandmaster. "I will need to investigate this further with those she hs been spending time with. If they know what she is, then things will become difficult for her. She may know what she is now, but as i have seen from the looks of many of your blades and others, they have not seen one of my kind walk amongst you, so this little test may yet be salvageable. When she returns send her to me i must speak with her. For now i will have a little look around your temple and see if a mortal will be able to entertain me a little." he spoke and smiled, causing the Grandmaster to look at him strangely.

"Come now, if you thought i meant that you are giving me far too little credit, i merely wish to speak to others about your precious little girl as you like to think. But let me tell you this.. if you try to keep her away from me, i will drag her back into the waters, and return her to as she was before this little incident ten years prior" With that Lucifer headed towards the door, and opened it causing the blades to point their swords at him. "I wish to return to the main hall if you do not mind" the Seducer spoke and the guards looked to the Grandmaster.

"Let him go there. But even Daedra must have manners in my temple. If he makes so much a violent movement your orders are to dispatch him. After all he cannot truely die, but will learn a lesson" The old man said and with that Lucifer sighed and walked back towards the main hall, the Blades in tow.

Karst heard the scuffle and saw most of what Veyar saw, but from her height off the ground she hadn't seen the man who the blades were drawn at. "I don't know if you recognized that thing, but that's a Daedric Seducer. I don't know what in the hells of Oblivion Jauffre is thinking, taking that thing in here, but I don't trust it." Veyar whispered quickly, and although he kept speaking it fell on deaf ears. Really, everything after 'Seducer' had gone relatively unnoticed. As they walked in, she watched the Blades and Jauffre escort him in, she gazed at him with a childlike awe. Meeting one, female Seducer was amazing enough, but to meet two, and one be a rare male? The males almost never enter the mortal realm that I know of.. Wow..

"Whoa.." Karst muttered, watching the darkly clad creature walk off. "Beautiful creatures, Seducers. Dangerous, but beautiful." She suddenly became aware Veyar had asked her about dinner and she blushed a tiny bit. "Oh, dinner? Uh, sure, sounds good! I could use something to eat. Maybe later I can catch up with him and ask 'im some questions.."

It occurred to Karst at this point that she was probably being rude to Veyar by being distracted, and so looked up at him and apologized, her ears lowering a little. "Sorry, Veyar, I know you don't like them, but.. Daedra are, well, an obsession of mine. They're extremely fascinating creatures.. To me.." Karst flattened her ears a little more as she lowered her head and tried to think of a comparison. After a mere two seconds, though, she had one and looked up. "A chance to interview a Daedra would be, for me, the equivalent of you, say, getting to sit down and have lunch with Vivec. It's a once in a lifetime thing. I.. hope you understand I wasn't trying to be rude. I really would love something to eat.."

"You know, I don't get out much anymore, so I have to ask. Are things always this.. Chaotic, these days?" Gregory inquired and Melanarde nodded.

"Well, more or less. Not sure exactly how much you don't get out, but.. there's a sort of Daedric invasion going on around here. Kind of inconvenient for a lot of us." Mel remarked with half sarcasm before Teegus awoke. Greg answered the question, but Mel felt she needed to ask one of her own.

"Who were they people that attacked you? Do you know why they attacked you?"

ooc: There's only so much one can do with sparring between two characters post-by-post and I'm out of ideas for Zant, so.. Sib, if you want, our characters could do something else and we could assume they've been sparring this whole time. Feel free to fabricate about anything you want for what falls in between. I'm sorry, but.. I'm just out of inspiration for it. ><

ic: After about half an hour of sparring the two khajiit had stopped, one filled with the need for food. Do'rhadi didnt know about zant but he was starving at this point. Putting the weapon up on the rack he gave a slight smile to the other male, though it wasnt very visible to the felines natural grin. "Hungry?" he asked. Putting his boots on.

OOC: better late than never,

IC:

As he followed, jet also overheard some commotion atop the steps which probably explained why no-one stopped him at the gate. Honing in with his ears he tried to focus on what was said up above, but the voices were too obscured by the howling wind and he could only pick up a few useless words. He paused a moment as he was climbing the steps while he took one last puff on his pipe, soon after tapping out the remaining contents and placing the pipe in his bag.

Don't want to draw additional attention by smelling of drugs. He thought.

Striding up the last set of steps, taking two at a time, he just managed to see the two he was following enter the building through the central door. Jet looked around at the few patrolling guards, not recognising the armor he shrugged and walked forth into the courtyard, never slowing or looking around he walked straight up to the doors.

Hmm... it might seem weird if i walk in the same doors as them soon after they did... He thought as he peered around him, noticing the door down the steps to the right. Bingo! That'll do. He smiled as he jogged down the steps and pushed his way into the lower door.

ooc: Oh hai! My brief abscence was nothing more then me going, "Meh." To all things RP. :) Don't worry though, I still love you kids.

ic:

Tim, still in a deep lumber dreamt of many things, mainly he dreamt of being a hero. He dreamt of slaying foul beasts and being the bane of Mehrunes Dagon of whom he imagined to be a massive black armour clad deamon who's very gaze burnt people alive.

He dreamt that he conjured upon the magic of all the elves into the fibre of his body and expanded his being so that he too became a giant, with that, he used the great tower in the imperial City as a sword and clashed blades with Mehrunes, ultimatly defeating the god before shrinking to his normal height and being showered with praises and most importantly, naked women. Lots of naked women.

He awoke soon later to realise that there were no naked women, but infact there was something better - A warm bed. He stretched happily and groaned as his body welcomed the feeling of pure comfort. The bed was probably quite shoddy, but to someone who would happily have slept on stone steps, this was luxury. He couldn't bring himself to get up, but he had to find the woman that had helped him, he couldn't quite remember her name, "Meline?" he asked himself, and shrugged, either way, it began with M.

He heaved himself off of the bed and dressed, it was the first time he'd looked into a clean mirror in a long time and he didn't like what he saw, his naked body was bony and thin. He had muscle, but it looked almost out of place, he was bruised and dirty and his hair was ragged and greasy. He took one look at himself and frowned. "Bah, no naked woman will throw themselves at me." He said as he looked at the bath, he looked at the tub with a sense of mistrust.. He'd never taken a bath, not to his knowledge anyway, and felt almost afraid that he would drown; But he knew that if he was to be a hero, he'd need to be clean. Or atleast, if this Meline person was to give him a job, he'd need to be presentable.

He switched on the tap and watched as the water spilled into the basin, slowly, but surely the tub began to fill. Tim dipped his hand into the warm water and felt a burning sensation; he swore loudly and withdrew his finger. He kicked the bath which only made his foot hurt. He growled in anger and turned off the hot tap and began to pour in the cold water. He began to feel that it would be fairly safe to step into the bath tub but didn't know quite how to go about it.

At first he stepped into it, and found himself standing in warm water butt naked. He frowned at himself and got a little embarrassed and therefore attempted to sit down. As he bent his legs, he slipped and fell into the tub, splashing water all over the room and making a rather large squeking sound.

Tim swore again but soon forgot it as he began to feel quite calm and very civilised inside the water. He fingered at the liquid and wondered quite what to do; He'd only thought about getting into the tub, not about what to do when he was inside it.. Ahh crap.. I guess you rub the soap into your hand? he asked himself as he grabbed the bar. He looked at it weirdly and shrugged. He rubbed the soap into his hands and could see the difference instantly. He began to rub the soap on his body, he felt a little strange at first but as soon as he could see the dirt coming off and his tanned skin underneath he felt much better about the whole thing.

After the whole situation was over, Tim stared at himself in the mirror once again.. He saw infront of him something new, his hair was straight and short, it barely covered his ears. He felt his face, he had some rough facial hair that was fairly prominant. His body was clean and looked alot better. His bruises weren't very visible and he looked alot more healthy. He looked at his face again and smiled, his bright blue eyes wide with pride.

He donned his clothes again but left off his shirt. He decided to show Meline how good he looked when he had had a bath. He gingerly stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him, he took in everything around him even the minute details; Nothing escaped him. He had never felt so rejuvinated. He even heard Meline's voice in the room near his and as he walked towards it, he felt like a son coming home to his mother. He wondered what she would think of him; would she be scared of him? He didn't think about that and knocked on the door, waiting for some answer to allow him in.

Veyar Nydelvu
Cloud Ruler Temple main hall


"Whoa.." Karst muttered, after Veyar told her what the creature was. She had probably not seen one before, he figured, though thought she would recognize it by sight alone. She's into Daedra like that. Dangerous hobby, but it's a hobby. Least we know she'll be fine insofar as I'm nearby to take care of any unruly Daedra. Veyar couldn't begin to count the number of times he'd encountered a Daedra summoning gone wrong in Morrowind. Whether it was an irritatingly playful Scamp or something as deadly as a Hunger or Ogrim, Daedric summonings gone wrong were always bothersome. "Beautiful creatures, Seducers. Dangerous, but beautiful." Veyar had to agree with her there, as she said it. The Seducers could disguise themselves as anyone. Naturally, they chose a shape that was beautiful to regard.

"Oh, dinner? Uh, sure, sounds good! I could use something to eat. Maybe later I can catch up with him and ask 'im some questions.. Sorry, Veyar, I know you don't like them, but.. Daedra are, well, an obsession of mine. They're extremely fascinating creatures.. To me.. A chance to interview a Daedra would be, for me, the equivalent of you, say, getting to sit down and have lunch with Vivec. It's a once in a lifetime thing. I.. hope you understand I wasn't trying to be rude. I really would love something to eat.." She explained. Veyar was relieved for the chance to change the subject away from Daedra. Truthbetold, he would do nearly anything to sit down and have lunch with Vehk, but he knew that was not likely to happen. Not with his disappearance.

Veyar chuckled slightly at the comparison. He understood well where Karst was coming from with her fascination of Daedra. At least she didn't worship them as he worshiped Vivec and the Tribunal. That was one thing that Veyar wouldn't tolerate.

"I understand perfectly," He said with a wry grin, "I'd feel more comfortable if you were more careful where Daedra are concerned, but I know you can take care of yourself. Ask me to tell you sometime about the woman who got locked in her closet by the Scamp she summoned, sometime." Veyar added with a chuckle as he headed towards the kitchens. "I'll go make something hot for you. Anything you have in mind, or shall I surprise you with a little Dunmeri flair?"

Name: Theloria Baren Andrano.
Gender: Female.
Race: Breton, with Aldmeri blood from her father's side.
Age: 26

Height: 5'4"
Eye Color: Turquoise
Hair Style: Theloria's hair borders on the line to white, with a very pale blue tone blended in. Her smooth locks of hair draqes across her face like curtains, and is let to hang loosely down to her waist. (Note, this is not her natural color, but a simple use of alchemy.)

Skin Color: Is rather pale, has an ivory tone to her skin.

Class: Similar to healers in many ways, a priestess has the knowledge of treating wounds and diseases, however their choice of actions in combat is different. A priestess such as Theloria relies on her speed and mobility to stay at range while attacking enemies with lethal bow shots. If severely outnumbered she will protect herself by casting a barrier, as well as using her spells of illusion to give her the upper hand.

Class Focus: Magic.

Major Skills: Restoration, Alchemy, Alteration, Light armor, Marksman and Illusion.

General Appearance: Theloria stands at 5'4", her full, yet slim figure is at most times concealed by her set of armor. Being born to a Breton and Altmer, Theloria has inherited her mother's appearence, and thus resembles a Breton. However, some of her father's features are noteble, such as her almond shaped eyes, which seem almost accenuated by the frame of dark lashes surrounding them, and her pointy, elven shaped ears. Theloria's rosebud lips stand out from her ivory skin, complimenting her face. In general, she has an ordinary Breton facial structure, the only unusual traits being her ears and odd hair color.

Tattoos/Scars: None.

Apparel Worn Most Often: Perhaps her most prized possesion is her armor. The armor itself is custom crafted, having once been her grand father's, and then passed down to Sarwen, who in turn gave it to Theloria. When compared, the armor holds some resemblence to the old armor the old god hero Almalexia's guards would wear. The cuirass holds a platnium color, with a cream white shawl decorating the collar. At the end of the cuirass hangs a pale blue skirt at the front and the back of the armor. Underneath her cuirass, her dark chain mail greaves cover her legs. The boots, holding the same color as the cuirass are light in weight, though the durabiltiy is sadly quite poor. Her gauntlets match the armor, and they cover up her arms. Although old, the armor makes it easy for Theloria to move in, and holds great sentimental value for Theloria, who wears it proudly.

Apparel worn least often: As for clothing, Theloria preffers to clothe herself in robes if not in her armor, her favorite being a rich, dark blue velvet robe, with embroided details. Also, her wedding ring, which she never takes off. The ring is made from rich ebony, with a carved diamond sitting on the top. Her husband wears an identical ring.

Weapons: An Elven styled longbow, along with a quiver filled with about 30 slim arrows.

Spells: Theloria has great knowledge of healing spells, as well as some basic Restoration spells, such as disease treatment. As a priestess, she does not use offensive spells, but rather rests her faith in offensive spells, such as barriers and paralyzing spells. However, she will only use these spells in grave situations, preffering to use her bow and arrows instead.

Mental Description: Theloria is a passionate, and an occasionally rash priestess. A caring soul to the core, she will do anything to protect those she has sworn to protect. When confronted by enemies, she does not hesitate to attack, and will not allow them to escape alive. Her modest and kind nature makes her easy going, though her biggest weakness may very well be her lack of thinking before acting and her deadly fear of the undead.

Biography: Born and raised in Mournhold, Theloria was the youngest of 3 children to the Mage and Priestess, Emerion and Sarwen. Having abondoned his extravagent life style upon meeting Sarwen, Emerion found a far more genuine happiness living in their small, but cosy home in Mournhold. Together they had 2 sons and 1 daughter, whom they named Theloria Bar?n, in honor of Emerion's mother and the famed previous queen of Morrowind, Barenziah.

Theloria had a peaceful and quiet upbringing, her mother would teach her all she knew of healing, and her father would lavish her with expensive books and occasionally, a teacher. Her brothers were far more older than her, and they had both left Morrowind, the elder brother going to the Arcane University in Cyrodill, and the younger one leaving to find his fame and fortune.

When she was 15, her father had been offered an oppurtunity of a life time, but it would require that he leave Morrowind all together. Sarwen, having admired him for giving up his previous life for her, agreed to join him to Firsthold. Theloria, who had been offered to join her eldest brother, decided to stay in Mournhold, taking over for her mother as a healer at the temple.

Theloria grew intruiged by the group of well armored priests who rarely were seen by the temple, and upon learning what they did, and what they would see, the young breton devoted herself to her newly found passion, and at the age of 21, she grew to become an adequate priestess. Still young and ripe however, she was not permitted the more dangerous duties, so she offered her services to the Mages Guild. She would protect the scholars with spells and healing, in exchange for experience, a fair bargain in her eyes.

On one of these expeditions, she came to meet and befriend Thaden, a Dumer spellsword. He was mainly associated with the fighter's guild, and was quite often hired to help clear out grounds for mages and scholars. Unlike any man she had ever grown to know, Theloria formed a deep, mutual friendship with Thaden, and after some years of companionship, the two were wed.
After her marriage to Thaden, Theloria broadened her services, and began to join Thaden on his duties, lending her aid to the fighter's guild when requested.


Name: Thaden Andrano.
Gender: Male.
Race: Dunmer.
Age: 35.

Height: 6'0"
Eye Color: Deep crimson, a trait all Dunmer share.
Hair Style: Thaden keeps his straight hair loose, the ends always neatly cut to his jaw-line. The fringe, reaching to about his cheek bone, is parted in the middle, brushed slightly aside to prevent the strains of hair from getting in his eyes. His hair has a dark shade of brown, and out in the sun, feint streaks of a lighter color is visible.

Skin Color: Dark, ash colored skin.

Class: Spellswords are trained for both spellcasting and melee combat, making them decent fighters. Not as strong as warriors, they are certiantly more nimble, and flexible. Spellswords rely mostly on spells, preffering the schools of destruction and alteration rather than using weapons. Valued and often hired for work, many spellswords become mercanaries, or fortune seekers.

Class Focus: Magic.
Major Skills: Long blade, Block, Medium/Light Armor, Destruction and Alteration.

General Appearence: Dark skin adorns this elf, although among other Dunmer his skin tone would appear ordinary. His deep red eyes shimmer with a vast lust for knowledge. Some of Thaden's bolder features is the large forhead, strong nose (Although slightly crooked, after having it broken twice.) and slim face. His arched brows tend to furrow slightly, and his lips rest with an amused, perhaps even self-satisfied smirk. Despite his somewhat rough first glance looks, Thaden still retains much of his youthful appearence, and when free of blood and filth on his face, some might even consider him to be handsome.

Tattoo's/Scars: Has a few old scars on his arms, though they are vaguely visible.

Apparal worn most often:Thaden's armor is the result of pieces of armor found by a bandit here and there, or an occasional gift, which has been put together to make his "set". The darkened bonemold cuirass fits him well, matching his rough leather boots and bonemold gauntlets. His greaves are made from fine chainmail, appearing quite dark, black even, in color. Thaden "can" stand his ground in heavier armor, but preffers wearing medium or light, choosing more flexibility and agile movements apposed to being a walking box of tin.
Underneath his cuirass he wears an extravagent brown shirt, along with dark pants tucked neatly into his boots. Worn on a thin chain around his neck, is an ebony ring, gemmed with a single diamond on the top. The ring, detailed and quite fair, is his wedding band. Having them made by an old friend, he gave the other to his wife, who wears it on her finger.

Weapons: Thaden's choice of weapon is his magicka, preffering to conjure bolts of fire rather than have to draw his sword. He does however keep his Silver broadsword holstered at his side at all times. The sword itself was a gift from one of his employes, the beautifully cut blade shimmers against the light, and Thaden keeps it sharp enough to slice even an Alkanet petal in two.

Spells: Thaden holds a good grasp over Destruction spells, preffering to hurl fire spells at his foes. Apart from that, he knows some basic Alteration spells, such as opening mediate locks.

Mental Description: Proud and intelligent, Thaden never hesitates to speak his mind, be that an honest opinion, a sarcastic remark or simply a random observation. Quick to spring at the slightest nasty remark this Dunmer has a temper to match a Kagouti in mating season. Like many Dunmer, he is reserved around others at first, but will learn to trust them over time. When his trust is clear, he shows to be a dedicated and caring person, and will fight by his friends side to the end.

Biography: Thaden was the only child of an elder farmer couple in Vos. Not believing she would ever carry a child, his mother, who had grown up as an Ashlander, would pray to Azura, begging her to bless her with a child for years, and was 60 by the time it happened.
Life in Vos was quiet and uneventful, but it was a good life, and Thaden lived in peace with his parents, often adventuring out in the Grazelands with scouts and hunters.

From an early age, Thaden was always fascinated by the tales he heard from travellers and adventurers who would stop by the local trader's house for the night, and along with his friends, would practice sword fighting out in the Grazelands. Longing for a real sword to wield, rather than the old wooden stick, Thaden saved all his earnings, and despite his parents wishes to settle down and become a farmer, left Vos to become an adventurer.

The years from then on went by as a breeze for Thaden. He signed up for the fighter's guild, and any gold he made, went straight to buying books and to persuade Spellswords from the mages guild to teach him what they knew. Becoming a fortune and knowledge seeker, Thaden travelled with his comrade, Malech, around Vvardenfell, performing duites and offering to help those they passed by.

Thaden eventually pledged his loyality to House Redoran, and after 15 years, became a House Brother.

As luck would have it, Thaden was offered a large sum of septims, if he guarded 3 of the mages guild's scholars through some ancient, newly discovered ruins. It was here he came to meet Theloria Baren, a young priestess who like him, was hired by the mages guild. Smitten and amused by the girl, the two quickly formed a geniune friendship, which eventually led to them becoming husband and wife.



Bruma.

-Thaden-

"Gah! How are we supposed to find anyone here? You can barely even see the damn Nords, they blend right in with the fetching snow!"

A very frustrated Thaden leaned his back against the wooden walls of the local "Get cheap booze, women and beds" inn, Olav's Tap and Tack. The weather was chilling, as it was most of the year up in the Jerall Mountains region. Thaden, who was feeling somewhat ignored, glared suspiciously at any Nord who walked passed him. If even one more Nord said "Seen any elves?" to him again, there would be hell to pay.

"Oh shush, do I have to remind you that it was your idea to take to the right? If we had just gone left at the crossing, we would be here on time. And stop glaring like that! You'll make everyone think you're some mad man about to turn the whole town red! Now, let's just focus on finding Captain Burd, okay?"

With a partly offended look on his face, Thaden shruged his shoulders at Theloria, "Whatever. Let's just hurry up, I'm freezing my buttocks off."

Laughing, Theloria let her attention fall back on the letter clutched in her hands. By coincidence, a friend of theirs in Skingrad had told them of the odd rumours, and that Bruma were hiring mercanaries, or anyone capable of the job really. This had poked Theloria's curiousity, who immediately had insisted on travelling to Bruma. Thaden on the other hand was not pleased by this at all, and refused to let Theloria forget so.

"Don't worry love, I'm sure your behind will survive."

Frowning, Thaden gazed around him. And how exactly, are we even meant to find this Burd fellow? I stand by my point, all the nords look the same against the snow. Hmph. And to think, I could be in Mournhold, snoozing! But noooo, Theloria has to drag me out to the a damned cold place with nords. NORDS! And I havn't even gotten la-

In the heat of his inner ranting, Thaden had not even noticed that Theloria had wandered off, appearently having spotted Burd. Yet again, he was feeling rather ignored. This was not proving to be a good day. With a defeated sigh, Thaden took off after Theloria, hoping that she had indeed found Burd this time.

OOC: Sorry; lately my mood has tanked like the US economy, and I have a paper due by thursday.

IC:

-----------------------
Iris leaned back in her chair, hand on her chin as she chewed a piece of her own meat and contemplated Paulus' words. A frown grew on her face as he spoke, and she only replied when she swallowed.

"Jauffre did not specifically say we had to kill the spies. We had to take care of them. I'd prefer 'take care of' to mean 'capture', not 'kill'." She explained, crossing her arms over her chest. "We know there are a couple of them; there may be more, hidden away in a base of sorts within Bruma's walls. Capture them and they can tell us where it is, with a bit of coaxing. But if they don't, that's why I'm here, and we have Adeth as well."

She stopped here, turned to look at the Argonian as he rose and spoke, and smiled warmly. "And now we have Viuven-Ru as well. I think we'll be able to find it well enough. And get into it." She looked to all three men in the room with that same smile. "Viuven, thank you, I hadn't expected my meal to make you willing to help though. Paulus, thanks for the report. Adeth, I want you to procure a bit of rope from somewhere. A long bit of rope. All of you get ready, and meet me at the foot of the Temple within an hour or sooner." She picked up anothe slice of meat with her fork, holding it just in front of her.

"And Viuven... whenever there is time, I'd love to learn a few of those stretches." After that she bit the meat and proceeded to continue her meal. She was already prepared... though if they were going to be fighting she'd need to change into her leathers.

Adeth stood up as Viuven announced his leave for preparations. He had listened at Iris. 'I think I can manage to find one. In an hour it is.' With that said, he left the room, grabbing a bottle from a nearby table and then heading for the armory. There he asked where he could find some long rope and got what he wanted. A good quality rope of long length. As he fixed the rope onto his shoulder Adeth started to feel thrilled. Like the time he was about to steal a mythic dawn book from the wood elf in the Imperial City. It had been fun until...

Adeth shook his head before his mind started conjuring the memories of that time. Of Mia. 'She's dead. No need to think of that anymore.' He muttered under his breath, which got a few looks from the passing blades. They didn't know what she was, and that it wasn't really her, not the one he fell in love with anyway. 'Dead, Gone what's the difference?' He asked himself. But started skipping a step or two after a small while on his way to his room. He needed a slight prayer and to secure the key better.

Iris left the kitchen a short time after Viuven and Adeth, though as she entered the hall she noticed Veyar and Karst on their way there. Both of them had yet to see her, and for some reason an intense desire to hide overcame her. Her tongue clicked softly, a rush of magicka filling her skin. It was a minor chameleon spell she had developed back in her youth in the Mage's Guild, for quick and unseen hiding. The more powerful invisibility and chameleon spells she knew took a bit more elaboration to cast.

Her ashen skin melted into the wall behind her, and even her ruby eyes became as brown as the hallway. It was instantaneous, and by the time the pair had approached the kitchen proper she was merely an outline of herself, transparent as glass. She stood against the wall stock still as they went into the kitchen, and when there was an opening, she swiftly yet gingerly went past the kitchen door, heading straight for her room as the chameleon spell withered away by her door.

Why did I do that? She wondered to herself as the door closed behind her, and she was alone in her room. I don't need to hide from them! But... I can't face them right now, together. Iris walked away from the door and headed to her pack. "How can she even be around him after what he's done to her?" She grumbled, pulling out her dark leathers. "It's not like he actually cares about her. He can't even pay attention to friends. Probably wouldn't have seen me anyways!" That last statement came in a snarl as she pulled off her blouse and undid her hair.
----------------------------
"And what might I get the lovely couple t'night?" Asked a fair-haired Nord who came up just as Vivian sat down. The table was nothing large, and a single candle in the center illuminated the eating area. Kind of a romantic glow. Vivian noted, looking over to the Nord with a hint of surprise on his face. Were they that obvious?

"Um... I'll have a roasted beef and mashed potato." Vivian ordered, and the Nord nodded, mentally jotting it before turning to Mia with an even larger grin.

"And how 'bout the lady?"

When she'd explained herself, Veyar chuckled a little. "I understand perfectly," He said with a wry grin, "I'd feel more comfortable if you were more careful where Daedra are concerned, but I know you can take care of yourself. Ask me to tell you sometime about the woman who got locked in her closet by the Scamp she summoned, sometime." Veyar added with a chuckle as he headed towards the kitchens. "I'll go make something hot for you. Anything you have in mind, or shall I surprise you with a little Dunmeri flair?"

"Uhm.." Karst was a little surprised Veyar wasn't more.. adamant in chastising her for her admiration of the immortal creature. But she wasn't going to complain. "Well.. I'm always up for something new I guess. Surprise me."

As Veyar left off to the kitchen, the Seducer returned from his journey to another part of the temple with Blades in tow. She couldn't help but think that if he wanted, he could destroy his two escorts without flinching, and it made her giggle. Hmm.. should I? I wonder what Veyar'd think if he returned to find me chatting up a Seducer? I wonder if the Seducer'd let me? Hehe, it's worth a try, though, right?

Walking over to Lucifer, she touched him gently on the shoulder, making sure she didn't look threatening. "Uhm.. excuse me, sir?" Karst didn't know if the Seducer was hiding its true identity from the escorts and didn't want to blow his cover if he was. "Can I talk to you for a moment? I'd just.. like to ask you some questions?" Her voice was elated, like that of a fan meeting a celebrity they worshiped, but she couldn't help it. "It'd mean a lot to me if you would.."

Melanarde was sitting on the edge of Teegus's bed again, pondering what might have happened to the Argonian and what the Imperial in the corner had to say, when a knock came at the door. Now who could that be?

Standing, she strode briskly to the doorway and opened it a crack to see who was there. A youthful face with handsome brown hair greeted her and it took her a second to recognize the shirtless human boy without all the dirt. "By the Gods.. Tim? You're clean! You look wonderful. Just a moment." She told him softly through the door, then looked back to the others in the room. "Pardon me a moment. I have something to attend to. Fill me in on anything either of them say when I get back."

Slipping out the door, she leaned against it and beamed at Tim. He looked good clean. "Heya, kiddo. Feeling better? You certainly look better."
_______
ooc: Don't worry, Sib, didn't forget Zant. Just wanted to get the main two up so Uglius could see before he had to sleep. Silly British people and their sleep.

ic: Zant nursed a shallow gash in his arm and smiled at Do'Rhadi. "A little, yeah." He replied to the question of hunger. "Good sparring match, by the way. I'm a little rusty, but I think I'm getting better. Sitting idle for a year does that to ya." He laughed a little, but sighed somewhat dismally as he recalled the reason he'd been idle. He had Iris now, but Khaseena would always hold a place in his heart and soul. Unless they betrayed you, it was hard to forget your first true love.

"Hey, Do'Rhadi.." He asked, looking up and sounding a little subdued, "You ever have a gal that was close to you?"
