The Runaways

Prolouge:

"After the Oblivion Crisis, crime skyrocketed in Cyrodiil. While the empire was busy licking its wounds, the greatest criminal organizations in Tamriel decided to take the opportunity to squeeze all they could out of the good people of the empire. And so, all the scum and lowlifes grew rich, powerful, and greedy. Murders and thefts could be spotted all throughout Cyrodiil, and although the Imperial Guard worked tirelessly, they found it nearly impossible to fit the all the convicted felons into the Imperial dungeons. After a long debate in which no solutions seemed viable, the Elder Council decided to create a new prison, built to maximize capacity with minimal cost. Thus Alkatroz was born: a soon infamous and dark place, right on the ruins of what was once Kvatch. All manner of criminals are being sent here: from the most heinous of murderers to the pettiest of thieves. This is where you have just found your new home.... but for how long?"




Introduction:
You have all just arrived at one of the toughest prisons in Tamriel. Upon your arrival, you are delivered a mysterious letter, the guardsmen grudgingly giving you the sealed contents. The only thing you can discern from the outside of the envelope is the symbol on the seal: a sword ripping through a book. In the top right corner, the symbol is repeated, the dark ink reading with the authority of fate itself:

"Dear Prisoner,

Loyalty is far more valuable to me than gold, and freedom can be bought with both. Meet us in the yard at midnight.


Yours truly,
Black Inc."

Story info:

Alkatroz Prison: A place full of every mean and evil criminal known to the good people of Cyrodiil. Built from materials scavenged from the ruins of Kvatch, it resembles an animal pound for humans. The lucky prisoners stay until they've all served their time.... others are chosen to be put down.

The Elder Council: Since the oblivion crisis, the Council has become greedy and corrupted. They've been taking money from the citizens of the Imperial City and are hoarding it, in case the empire has to "reclaim" any provinces that decide to secede.

Black Inc.: A mysterious organzation hiring desperate prisoners as errand boys. They seem somewhat interested in changing history, though how is yet to be seen.

The Bounty hunters: A small group of mercs hired by the mean and greedy warden, they all want the large bounty thats been place on our head and they'll stop at nothing to have it.

The Runaways (us): The runaway prisoners are caught in a struggle between the empire and Black Inc. We may end up doing unspeakable deeds for a dark criminal society, while discovering the true nature of the Elder Council's plot and their recent irrational decisions. For us, being wanted men is just the beginning.

Character Sheets

Holy crap almost forgot all mages will be recieving green bracelets. These bracelets are impossible to take off and they totally silence the spellcaster so no spells in prison.

Okay now pay close attention if your name is highlighted in green you've been given the bracelets.

Green= Silenced mage



Mez (Dark Fox) :intergalactic:

Name: Cyrus

Nickname:

Age:27

Race: Redguard

Birthsign: The Steed


Class: Navy Solider
Weapons: N/A

Clothes: Grey Shirt, along with sack cloth pants

Skills: long sword, shield
Weaknesses: Rum


Appearance: Cyrus is big and tough. Being at about 5.8 feet he is still pretty intimidating and quite strong. He is dark skinned with Corn Row styled hair on top and a regular sized nose with lips that are usually pursed into a smile.

Why you're in Jail: Always good lad as a child he grew up to serve in the imperial Navy. He went from ship to ship taking down large gangs of pirates all throughout the sea. Sadly one day he was framed by one of his fellow Navy buddys. His friend had suppousley got drunk one night while they were stationed in anvil, and attacked a girl in a bar who refused to sleep with him when he offered. Blaming Cyrus who was there at the time, the guards believed him more than Cyrus and thus had him arrested.

Personality: Laid back and cool at times he's able to keep his head on his sholders by thinking things through. With a large ego and some courage he's willing to do anything even if its way out of his league.


Bio/History: Cyrus growing up in Hammerfell joined the Navy for a life out on sea. For years he served loyally in the imperial Navy going from harbor to harbor arresting pirates and freeing the waters of evil. He was having a nice life in the Navy going on until one night while stationed in anvil his Navy buddy (also redguard) attacked a woman while drunk, who refused to sleep with him. His friend reaching the Navy captain before Cyrus did, claimed that it was Cyrus who attacked the girl and thus the captain believed him more than Cyrus. Cyrus was arrested soon after.





BSparrow:

Name: Raves Arvel
Age: 34 (looks 17)
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Birthsign: The Lover


Class: Arcane Thief
Class Description: An arcane thief uses magic to augment their activities, taking full advantage of the various stealth capabilities of spellcasting. They tend to fall behind their more "pure" peers when it comes to raw skill, and can suffer for it when Silenced.


Weapons: None on him at the moment, though he's skilled with throwing weapons. He sort of knows which side of a knife to hold.
Clothes: Standard prison linens, with a handful of lockpicks secreted about his person (though not well). He also smuggled in a pair of wooden dice, which he keeps in his pocket.


Skills: Illusion, Sneak, Alteration, Mysticism, Acrobatics, Security, Marksman, Sleight-of-hand

Known Spell Effects:
(*=one he's particularly strong in)

Illusion:
Blind
Calm Humanoid
Chameleon
Charm
Invisibility*
Light
Night-Eye
Paralyze
Silence
Sound

Mysticism:
Detect Enchantment
Detect Key
Mark
Recall
Telekinesis*

Alteration:
Feather
Levitate*
Lock
Open*
Slowfall
Water Breathing
Water Walking


Weaknesses: Gambling problem, and a rather understandable fear of Telvanni comeuppance.


Appearance: Raves is as expressive as a performer and is built like an acrobat. He is relatively small and slim, and exudes a sort of lazy energy. He has dark red hair, which he keeps cut short and styled to stick up. He also has five piercings: three in his right ear and two in his left. He typically wears his feelings on his sleeve, his easy smile seeming open and guileless despite his profession, which he makes no attempt to hide.


Why you're in Jail: Nine counts of breaking and entering, twenty-six counts of petty theft, two counts of grand theft equine, possession and distribution of stolen goods, tax evasion, resisting arrest, and calling the arresting officer a "mindless sword-slinger who is obviously overcompensating for something."

Personality: Above anything else, Raves loves excitement. He welcomes challenges, and loves pitting his skills against them. His jumbled magical training gives him a unique--if fractured--take on spellcasting.

He's a natural performer: friendly and outgoing, usually optimistic and always quick to crack a joke. He tackles most problems with a flippancy bolstered by his own self-confidence... he rarely doubts his own skills, and, even when they fail him, he figures he can get it right next time.

This sort of attitude also means he enjoys gaming and gambling on the side. He's not a dupe, but he never knows when to give up, so he's accumulated a good share of debts (approximately 7,500 Septims in all) that he never gets around to paying.


Bio/History:

Raves is the son of Delas and Galina Arvel, a Dunmer couple who own a book and scroll shop in Sadrith Mora called "Words of Wisdom". Even as a boy, Raves was restless, and never took to the store and its stodgy customers. He often sought adventure while his parents worked, sneaking out to hang out with his less wealthy friends. He and four other elven boys enjoyed pranking grumpy neighbors and sneaking sips of Skooma behind a shifty tavern.

Raves's parents spent much time punishing him, either by having him serve in the shop under a strict eye or, if his recent mischief was particularly severe, locking him in his room. However, working in a bookstore frequented by Telvanni had its advantages. He spent much of his grounded time reading novice magicka books, and slowly taught himself some basic spells. When he used a simple Open Lock spell to get out of his room, his interest was piqued, and he began seeking out back-alley trainers and bugging Telvanni apprentices for tips. By the time he reached adolescence, he'd reached Apprentice level in Illusion and Alteration, and had no intention of stopping.

Over the years, Raves became fond of thievery and con work, enjoying both the adrenalin rush and the challenge. After a particularly nasty incident in Tel Mora, his parents disowned him, and he was forced to flee a group of angry Telvanni retainers who chased him well into the Ashlands.

Since then, he's been moving among Tamriel's more degenerate cities. He picks up change as a street performer--favoring sleight-of-hand con games--as well as doing odd jobs for the Thieves' Guild and freelance. He has been caught many times, usually on petty counts (he enjoys the hunt more than the capture, so to speak). It's never enough to throw him in jail for more than a week or two. Until lately, that is.







I am The Walrus!:

Name: Elusmyr

Nickname: No nickname, as of yet.

Age: 92 (looks 23)

Race: Altmer

Birthsign: The Apprentice


Class: Mage

Weapons: A knife

Clothes: A tattered but expensive robe. Worn shoes. Trousers.

Skills: Destruction, Mysticism, Alteration, Conjuration, Necromancy, Long Blade. He is also quite intelligent and skilled at pulling off complex plans.
Weaknesses: Is weak to all forms of magic and elements due to being a High Elf of the Apprentice birth sign. Despite being quick and nimble, he has no muscles to speak of.


Apperance: He towers over non-Altmer at the height of 6'7. He has long, black hair that falls a bit lower then his neck. He looks haughty, but also has a look of whimsy in his eye.

Why your in Jail: Murder, conspiracy against an imperial organisation. (Guilty on both accounts). He served as a spy for the Order of the Worm during the war with the mages guild. In the closing years, his cover was blown by a double agent he was working with, two knights of the lamp attempted to arrest him. He played along. However, as he was about to be handcuffed, he flicked a knife out from his sleeve, and stabbed one knight in the throat. He turned the Knight's hood into hot embers, so they fell into his eyes and blinded him. He managed to escaped over one of the walls, but was apprehended by Imperial when attempting to get a boat to the Summerset Isles in Anvil.

Personality: Elusmyr is haughty and narcissistic, and is prone to Ennui. He also is flamboyant and whimsical, and finds fun in manipulating other people.


Bio/History: Elusmyr was born in Summerset isles, and studied the major magical arts. He also found time to practice using a long swoord in his spare time. His mentor in the mages guild was secretly a Necromancer, and passed on his views to Elusmyr, and also trained him in the basics of Necromancy and gave him literature for further learning. Elusmyr advanced faster then most students, and was looking towards a bright future in the mages guild. However, when Archmage Traven banned the study of Necromancy, Elusmyr's mentor was cast out of the guild, as his practices had become known. Elusmyr was also under suspicion as his student, but that quickly subsided as more and more mages left the guild and the need for skilled mages grew stronger.

Elusmyr stayed in contact with his old mentor, and as a now lecturer, had access to detailed information which he sent back to his mentor, who passed it onto the Order of the Worm. This continued for quite a long time until a fellow Order of Worms agent in the guild turned double, and tipped off the Guild to intercept Elusmyr's letter. He killed knight in his attempted arrest, and was condemned to life-time imprisonment with no parole. Elusmyr's main goal is revenge against the mages guild and knowledge






Krimsin:

Name: Urdlin

Nickname: Lin

Age: 29

Race: Bosmer

Birthsign: Thief

Class: Assassin

Weapons: N/A

Clothes: Dark Green Long-sleeved leather tunic, cloth pants, and some reasonably fancy shoes he was allowed to keep.

Skills: Of the two, Urdlin prefers less forward confrontation. He is a talker, and a persuader, and if necessary, an intimidator. In combat he favours a bow, which is unfortunate in prison. He is highly proficient at not being seen.
Weaknesses: Urdlin is rather cowardly compared to his counterpart and especially compared to his peers. However despite this, he is highly arrogant when he thinks himself at an advantage.
Appearance: Medium-length black hair in a ponytail, pointed chin and face. Generally appears less weak than most elves his size, but not much less.
Reason for being in Jail: Urdlin was arrested after a jointly-botched assassination attempt on a noble while he was at church. Urdlin's arrow missed and struck an innocent bystander instead, and the guards took him in. After leaving prison he and Qa'shirr intend to return to their original ways, but spend some time laying low in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.
Personality: Urdlin likes to consider himself the brains of the operation, but does not de-value his partner's opinion. He often engages others in slightly one-sided conversations if they tend to be less than talkative. On occasion, he will talk to himself if no one else is around.
Bio/History: Urdlin began not as an assassin but as a merchant. Eventually his pottery trade grew terribly unprofitable and he sought out thievery as a means to his wealth. This is when he met Qa'shirr, a Khajiit thief whom he had hired to steal certain things for him in exchange for a cut of the earnings after he had used his bartering skills to pawn off the stolen goods. It is here that they gradually became partners, with Urdlin often taking a slightly more direct role in the theft himself, after some tutelage from his more-experienced partner.
One night, while attempting to rob the manor of an old man, they accidentally woke him, and in their panic pushed him out the window and killed him. The following night, as they slept in an inn where they planned to stay in hiding for a while, they were approached by the Dark Brotherhood and asked to join. Though hesitant, they eventually agreed. After all, the Brotherhood could provide a safe haven, a steady job, and good training. Though still little more than murderers in the family, they always complete their contracts together, splitting the earnings between themselves as usual but often managing to complete the bonuses because of their united effort.

Name: Qa'shirr

Nickname: Qash
Age: 27

Race: Khajiit

Birthsign: Thief
Class: Assassin
Weapons: Nothing, besides his claws.
Clothes: Black leather shirt with the sleeves torn off, some banded leather around his hands, and sack cloth pants.
Skills: Qa'shirr is more manually dextrous than his partner, using this skill to pick locks and pockets alike. In combat, he favours knives and daggers, and like Urdlin is good with stealth.
Weaknesses: Cannot swim, and is sometimes distracted by shiny objects.
Appearance: Greyish-tan fur with a few darker brown stripes. Two gold earrings on each ear. Tall for a Khajiit.
Reason for being in Jail: Qa'shirr made a bet with Urdlin to see who could assassinate the noble first. He sat beside the noble in church, but slipped and stabbed the man next to him instead. The man's screams caused the other patrons in the church to stand up, which made Urdlin accidentally shoot an innocent bystander rather than the noble.
Personality: Qa'shirr doesn't like to bother with details. Where Urdlin sorts complicated things like strategy and ruses, Qa'shirr works out the simple tactics. Stoic, but not afraid to voice his opinion if a plan seems like a bad idea, or if he comes up with a better one. Doesn't talk to many people other than Urdlin.
Bio/History: Abandoned by his parents, Qa'shirr became a thief out of equal parts necessity and entertainment value. After realizing that good fences were hard to find, he met Urdlin, and the two struck a deal to make a profit off of their illegitimate gains. When they became more solid partners in crime, he began teaching Urdlin some of his own tricks, in order for him to help with thefts when he needed a second person. He was less reluctant to join the Dark Brotherhood than Urdlin was, thinking that it was the perfect way to silence those who caught him stealing and not have to suffer any consequences





Jonasvault101:


Name: Francis Nermarc

Nickname: Franky, The Whistler

Age: 29

Race: Breton

Birthsign: The Lady


Class: Assassin of the Order of Boethiah, a group of highly skilled men and women of all races who worship the Daedric Prince Boethiah and carry out assassinations over all of Tamriel.

Weapons: A small 5" shank knife that was made from a solid metal bar, the grip wrapped in letter with small daedric etchings on the blade. Under his bed, he keeps an Atl-atl, a piece of wood with a groove in it used to throw javelins with precision, 4 thin javelins accompany it, all made from stolen wood in the carpenters' shop.

Clothes: Regular thick Sack cloth clothing, loose pants with a rope around the waist, heavy long sleeved cloth shirt, a very thick and heavy cloak, also wears a black cloth mask just around his mouth and nose.

Skills: Stealth, Parkour (free-running or whatever you like to call it), Excellent Marksman, Skilled with many one-handed blades, Alchemy (mainly poisons).

Weaknesses: Loves to drink, hates cats, loves women FAR to much.



Apperance: Quite tall for a Breton, standing at 6'4" he is tall and very toned in an athletic build. His hair is cut short and golden blonde corn-rows are the only hair on his head. His face has a thick goatee, and the hard dark green eyes of a man who has shed blood. His body, mainly arms and chest, are imprinted with tattoos of various Daedric runes and designs often found in the Daedric ruins themselves. His face is rather gaunt, but despite all this, he is a handsome man.

Why your in Jail: During an assassination against a high-born Redguard prince. Francis was making his way through the castle, after climbing and shimmying his way up a dizzying 100ft tower, he came to the Prince's quarters. The man was sleeping in fine silks. Francis crept into the window and the room, he took out a coil of rope and quickly tackled the sleeping man, tying him up and gagging him. His betrothed then walked in, who wasn't fond of the prince herself, and seeing the dashing assassin before her and Francis staring back, it gave them an idea.

Before the very eyes of the bound prince, they made violent and passionate love. Afterward, Francis slit the princes' throat and gave a kiss goodbye to the lovely Imperial woman who was the princes' betrothed (Imperial is odd yes, but I like them better than Redguards). But while escaping, a guard who had been alerted shot an arrow into Francis' thigh, making him stumble and fall, breaking a leg. He was captured and sent to the prisons.

Personality: Suave and eloquent with his phrasing in conversations, the perfect guise for an assassin. He is ruthless with his prey but not without a kind heart, especially with women and even the young children. Anyone who cannot defend themselves, is not deserving of death. But as said before, he is an assassin, and a black-hearted cruel one at that, just look at how he got thrown into prison.


Bio/History: Born in Highrock, Francis was your average everyday kid. He loved hunting and had quite the talent for
thievery, it especially came in handy due to him being a simple peasant born to a poor family. When he became a teenager, at the tender age of 13, he sought out of the tiny village he'd known. He only survived in the wilds for a month or so.

One winter night, near death, a man clad in chainmail and black leather armor came to him. Francis woke up the 4 days later to find himself in the mountain fortress of the Order of Boethiah. The Grandmaster, a Dunmer who was named Nelos had taken Francis in for a purpose, what that was Francis was never told.

Years went by, training and learning all sorts of trades, being taught by some of the most skilled assassins in Tamriel, who rivaled even the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood. Assassination after assassination passed, and finally Francis was named High Assassin among the Order. Two years later, he went to kill a Redguard prince.






Darkom95:

Name: Hanniel Baal (Preferred name Baal, pronounced Han-yel Ball)
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Age: 103 (Equivalent of late fifties)
Sign: The Atronarch
Faction: None


Class: Killer
Skills: Baal is a cold blooded serial killer, the worst kind of criminal, made worse by his near madness. However, he is very persuasive, with a witty intellectual charm that has fooled many victims in the past. He is abnormally skilled with all kinds of weaponry, especially short blades and daggers, and is especially vicious unarmed. He is very nimble and athletic despite his age, though is not particularly stealthy or adroit in the other skills commonly associated with murderers. Before vicious killings became public knowledge, he was renowned across many scholarly institutions for his vast intelligence, notably in the fields of mathematics, anatomy, and psychology. He was also known for being somewhat of an epicurean, lavishing his home with the most expensive of Akaviri and Dwemer artifacts, as well as many fine works of literature and art. He was also an adroit chef.


Appearance: Small and sleek, Baal does not appear very threatening. However, his arms contain a wiry strength, and he possesses physical grace and power strange for his age. He has a rather bent posture, and he appears rather gaunt, with deep lines in his face. He has sharp features and small, nimble hands. He has six fingers on his left hand, his middle finger duplicated perfectly between his middle and index.
Hair: Dark, slicked back hair with a pronounced widow's peak.
Eyes: A softer, maroon hue of the normal Dunmer red. His eyes reflect light in pinpoints of red fire, dancing spots of light in his otherwise cold eyes.
Height: 5' 6''
Weight: 140 lbs


Personality: A pure sociopath, he lacks remorse or morals. He portrays a superficial charm, but this only belies his darker intentions; he will trick his victims into their own demise. He is a pathological liar, and a very good one at that; he believes in no authority other than his own. He is incredibly narcissistic, believing himself above all wrongs, and incapable of error. The one thing he hates above all else is boredom, and will go to great lengths to alleviate or prevent it, including murder. He is also renowned for his intelligence, particularly in mathematics, anatomy, and psychology.

Hobbies: Torture, seduction, murder, etc.

Fears: Being alone, with nothing to do, especially in a prison cell.

Goals: He has no long term goals, other than escape from his current imprisonment and the cure for his boredom.

Religion: Baal pays homage to no gods, though he does respect several Daedra, including Boethiah, Mephala, and Dagon.


Weapons: He will use whatever he can get his deft hands on, or his own body. He has great martial prowess, though not in any particular style. He is also infamous for his biting.
Clothing: Tattered pants and shoes, along with a straight jacket and mask.
Miscellaneous: Nothing


History: Baal was born to a noble Dunmer family in Tear, and during his childhood he was declared a child prodigy. He grew up around the best tutors money could buy, though none seemed to be able to keep up with his outstanding intellect, and all quickly ran out of material to teach him. He absorbed all information he could get his hands on, storing it away in his vast memory; he was particularly interested in the fields of mathematics, anatomy, and psychology, and surpassed many of the great scholars of Tamriel in the subjects.

However, his happy childhood ended in a revolt by the Argonians enslaved by House Dres, in which the lizards broke into his family's summer mansion and killed his parents and beloved sister. He spent several months a prisoner of these rebels, before the Morrowind authorities could track them down and bring the majority to justice, freeing young Baal.

Unfortunately, the Dunmer military did not capture all of Baal's tormentors, a fact that drove the teenage elf mad with hatred, the beginnings of his psychopathy. He hunted down each surviving Argonian, most of whom had gone on to have happy, successful lives in other parts of Tamriel, and slaughtered them mercilessly, claiming vengeance for his sister.

After that he returned to a fairly normal life, becoming a scholar in Mournhold, working to become a natural healer, a physician who did not utilize magic, being he was incapable of doing so. After many years he became a successful healer and scholar, publishing many groundbreaking works in his chosen fields. He eventually moved to the Imperial City to take a position as the Emperor's personal physician, along with treating many Imperial noble's psychological problems.

However, he never lost that spark of madness, and throughout the years continued his murders, no authority ever suspecting him of the crimes. Throughout the years he has been connected to over thirty murders, though it is suspected he has committed far more. He refuses to comment on the fact, occasionally publishing scholarly texts from his position in the Imperial Dungeons, though none to do with his own mental issues.


Reason for Incarceration: Baal was an infamous serial killer, known as the Monster of Weye, who was eventually caught by an investigator who happened to stop by his home in the Imperial City, where he was living as a scholar (psychologist). The investigator, who was attempting to bring the Monster of Weye to justice at the time, noticed a book called "The Axe Man" on Baal's bookshelf, an account of an investigator in Morrowind questioning a Tong assassin, and immediately recognized the volume. He also knew that one of the Monster's victims was killed in a similar way to that of the uncle in the book. Piecing the two facts together, he immediately tried to leave for backup. However, Baal was waiting for him, and attempted to stab him with a makeshift knife. The investigator escaped, though his wounds were severe, and returned to the house minutes later with a swarm of guards. Baal was sitting in an easy chair, his perfect smile wide, the bloody knife still in his small hand.

Fun Fact: Not only is he a murderer, but he is a cannibal as well. I'm sure if you haven't discovered my blatant tribute to an amazing character by now, then that should do it.





RocknRolla:


Name: Aaron Marcellus

Nickname: Sver (pronounced sever), due to what he does to people he doesn't like

Age: 24

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: Steed


Class: Thief

Weapons: Steel shortsword (which was taken away after he was arrested), iron dagger that he hides in his shoe

Clothes: Rough tan shirt, tattered pale green pants, and some rough leather shoes

Skills: Short blade combat, stealth, lockpicking
Weaknesses: Anything shiny, really


Appearance: About 5' 9", skinny, blonde neck-length hair, pale skin, green eyes

Why you're in Jail: Theft, larceny, petty larceny, grand larceny, pretty much every word that can be associated with stealing

Personality: Aaron can be a pretty charming guy, but most people are too shallow to find that out. He tends to think things out though, and has learned to kill his impulse.


Bio/History: Aaron Marcellus was born in Cyrodill to an ex-legionarre and a newspaper courier. He had a pretty average childhood until he was 18. That's where he started getting these funny thoughts. He didn't want to end up in a dead end job for the rest of his life like his parents. That's when he decided that he wanted to be a thief. "It wouldn't be my first time." he told himself. Throughout Aaron's early years, he had always been a little filcher, but it had been extremely minor stuff. A few caramels from the sweets jar, for example.
Early one morning, around 4:30, Aaron broke into a warehouse in the Imperial City, bribed the guard with a few grams of moon sugar, and the rest is history.....





dragon reaper:

Name: Meer frostbite
Gender: male
Age: 35
Race: argonian
Birth Sign: atronach
Class: spell sword

Weapons: none but normally uses long swords
Clothes: rough grey prison shirt and sack cloth pants.
Skills: destruction, long blade, heavy and light armour, unarmed
Spells: several frost spells of varying strength, range and area effects
Weaknesses: His hatred for dunmer often interferes with his ability to make rational decisions. Inability to regenerate magicka.

Appearance: he stands at about 6 foot and has short spikes growing out of his head with the back left one broken off. His scales are icy blue with a white chest, face and underside of tail. He is fairly well built and reasonably strong. He has a slightly longer tail than most argonians and has a scar on his lower back where he was stabbed with a knife.
Why you're in jail: murdered a family of dunmer when one of them insulted him and his kind.

Personality: acts somewhat cold towards strangers and new acquaintances but is more relaxed and open around those he knows well. He prefers colder climates and hates dunmer with a passion and may attack them for insignificant reasons if he is in an exceptionally bad mood when in there presence and they are of no use to him. He can also be fairly stubborn when he wants to be and dislikes retreating from a fight when there is still a small chance of winning. He is also in the habit of using his tail to trip up his opponents in a fight.

Brief History: He was raised by a family of nords in eastern skyrim and later moved to Bruma. He spent several years training for combat in the use of both heavy and light armour so he could always make do with what he had as well as hand to hand fighting in case he ever lost his weapon. He eventually became a mercenary and roamed cyrodil taking on any job for the right price. He was arrested for murdering a family of dunmer.



Uglius MaximusII:

Nickname: Larry

Age: 25

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: Steed

Class: Spy/Petty Theft

Weapons: N/A, his throwing knives were taken from him when he was arrested.

Clothes: Tattered tan coloured cloth shirt, rough dark blue cloth trousers and leather shoes.

Skills: Throwing weapons, sneak, athletic, acrobatics, speechcraft and security.

Weaknesses: He's no martial artist, Larry has never been trained in the art of combat or magic. His only combat skill would be his throwing knives and that limits him to about 20 feet.


Appearance: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8996/larryua2.jpg Larry isn't tall, standing at 5 feet, 10 inches he's of normal height. His body is fairly well built, composing of a strong muscle tone and a lean figure. He has no real outstanding feature which makes his job easier in many respects. However, his eyes are of a striking green which contrasts to his somewhat dull, yet relatively handsome face.

Why you're in Jail: Larry has led a life of crime, but he was charged for 32 acts of theft, 12 acts of assault, 12 acts of drug trafficing and has resisted arrest on 3 occassions. (Obviously escaping on the first 2 times.) Luckily for him the government has yet to find out about his acts of theft against the military and how he worked for various criminal organisations.

Personality: Larry is fairly protective of his past and of his current state of affairs. He doesn't like revealing anything that could come back to harm him yet isn't rude enough to stop talking about a subject once he is on the topic. Not naturally aggressive - he prefers to stand back and let the others do all the fighting or taking all the glory for his actions. Aslong as he lives - He's happy. Currently, he's quite content with prison life yet still wants to become free again.

Bio/History: As a child, he was born into a family of drug dealers. His father owned a lucrative business in Leyawiin and his mother ran a brothel. Together they were one of the richest people in the town until Larry's father was murdered by a rival drug dealer. This sent Larry's mother into a life of drug addiction which he eventually died from leaving Larry all alone. At the age of 12 he began to live with his fathers friends and eventually began to smuggle drugs in and out of the city. It wasn't a pretty business and on many occassions he was almost caught by either rival gangs or the city guard. But Larry wasn't bothered, he was living well - He had his own home, friends who respected him and enemies that feared him.

However, his safehouse had been raided by the city guard and all his friends were jailed. Larry knew it was time to leave the city and was able to escape. For 6 years he began to work for various organisations where he would spy on members of the government or steal from military warehouses. The work paid well but not nearly what he was used to. It was also very difficult to find friends that lived long enough for Larry to get to know them. In these few years between jail he drifted from syndicate to gang, and from gang to organisation. Eventually he was caught and placed in prison without the intention of letting him free.




Aulakauss: Not given bracelets due to lack of spells.

Name: Karstine Zeterra
Nicknames: Fuzzwad, Karst
Age: 25
Race: Khajiit
Birthsign: The Thief


Class: Vagabond
Class Description: Vagabonds are the world's wanderers. They never stay in once place for long, either because they cannot afford a permanent residence or they prefer life on the road. Vagabonds are often wandering mages, roaming warriors and freelance thieves.

Weapons: Favors both a bow and arrow along with shortswords, but her gear was taken when she was arrested. Knows a little bit of magic, but not enough to rely upon.
Magicka: Heal Minor Wounds, Open Average Lock, Shock Burst, Windwalk (Invisibility)

Clothes: Standard, itchy cloth prison garb. Managed to convince the guards to let her keep her heirloom necklace (after they had its enchantment checked), so she wears that about her neck: an emerald orb entangled in silver vines, suspended on a chain, also of silver. The necklace is enchanted to ward off disease.

Skills: Short Blade, Marksman, Sneak, Security, Athletics, Dodging, Light Armor
Weaknesses: Karst is quick to anger, headstrong and emotionally unstable. Having lived alone for most of her life, she does not generally work well in a team. Karst also harbors discrimination against nobility and males of the Altmer and Dunmer race, as most of her arrests have come because of encounters with elven nobles. In addition to these little issues, she is also semi-addicted to moon sugar and is a frequent alcoholic.

Combat-wise, the Khajiit fares poorly against skilled users of spears, warhammers and claymores in direct combat and fighting the arcanely gifted can present her with difficulties.

Appearance: Karstine is, in a sentence, a small but pretty Khajiiti woman. She has stark white skin and similarly colored fur with black striping on her sides, arms and legs, alongside a pair of sparkling emerald colored eyes, all attributes from her mother. From her father's elven lineage, Karst has blood colored hair and a soft elven face, as opposed to the feline snout usually associated with her race.

In body she is somewhat curvy, though what beauty she has is that of a warrior rather than a maiden; her arms, legs and stomach have well toned muscles under them and there's not an ounce of fat on her body. Her hands are scarred but otherwise delicate looking, her fingers oddly long for the size of the rest of her, and her toes, while human in appearance, bear little claws on the ends of them.

Karst's soft face often bears a look of determination, making her otherwise cute features look somewhat sinister. Like her hair, her eyebrows are a deep red color, a drastic contrast to the snowy fur, and the eyes themselves are slightly slanted inwards, almond shaped with long eyelashes and highly expressive. Like most Khajiit, her ears and tail are easily noticeable indicators of her mood at most times and her movements are graceful and smooth. Unlike most Khajiit, though, her voice is that of an elven woman, with only traces of her Khajiiti heritage audible.

Why she's in Jail: Among the crimes of one Karstine Maranay Zeterra against the people of Cyrodiil are included: Numerous thefts of many kinds, twenty counts of breaking and entering, two acts of public indecency, seven instances of disturbing of the peace, ten counts of drunk and disorderly conduct, three counts of assaulting an officer of the law, possession and distribution of both stolen goods and illegal narcotics, and one act of vandalism.

Personality: Under normal circumstances, Karst is playful, energetic and witty. She boasts a strong will, a twisted and somewhat dark sense of humor and rather striking lack of physical shame. Karst is unusually tolerant of pain, a skilled marksman and swordswoman, excellent sneak and an extremely compassionate person to those who she thinks deserve it.

On the other side of the coin, Karst has problems with her temper, often speaks her mind when it'd be far better to be quiet. Displays of blatant arrogance and (what she views as) misuse of authority often garner fiery and violent reactions from the small woman. Though highly intelligent and quick-witted, she often does irrational and even incredibly stupid things in anger. She has a serious lack of confidence in herself in almost every way, is a frequent alcoholic and has a habit of judging people severely by first impression.

Bio: Born to the shaman of a small tribe in Elsweyr, Karst lived a simple life with her parents until the age of six, when a strange ailment took the life of her mother. Her elven father died of grief, leaving the tiny cat a halfbreed alone amidst Khajiit who saw her, for the most part, as a perversion of their race. She was treated badly for this and she, in turn, took the fight to them in the form of thievery and practical joking. Her reign of chaos lasted until she was eleven, when the elders finally had endured enough to reach their wit's end. Karst was exiled for her crimes against her tribesmen and, in the following decade, she wandered north through the deserts and jungles of her homeland, passing through cities and villages, taking what she needed from the inhabitants and moving on before anyone could make her answer for her actions.

Eventually, she came to the Imperial Province of Cyrodiil, where she was quickly noticed for her freelance work by the local Thieves' Guild operatives. At age seventeen, she was recruited and, over the last eight years, has lived in a small shack on the waterfront. Karst took up a job as a barmaid during the day and, when the sun set, she prowled the streets, looking for places to liberate valuables from to bolster the coffers of her guild. Though she has never been persecuted for her acts of thievery, the Khajiit is very familiar with the inside of a jail cell; more than once, she has been thrown behind bars for causing making a spectacle of herself in the streets while under the effects of sugar and liquor.

As she has always worn dark clothing and kept her feline features hidden when on her nighttime escapades, she has never been tied to the crimes she has committed despite having been seen on numerous occasions. One night, she made the mistake of trying a break-in drunk and, in her inebriated clumsiness, managed to fall down a flight of stairs and pass out. When she came to, she was lying on the cold floor of a jail cell, chained to a table, a single guard smiling at her. When she opened her eyes and looked at him, he said one sentence to her before leaving.

"Welcome to Alkatroz, kitty cat."




Queen of Giant Rats

Is it too late for me to join? If not, here's my charcter's sheet:

Name: Aria

Age: 19

Race: Dark Elf

Birthsign: Serpent (Morrowind one)


Class: Musician

Weapons: None

Clothes: Blue shirt, black trousers

Skills: Playing the Guitar, Singing, Hand-to-hand, Unarmoured, Illusion, Speechcraft, Songwriting

Spells: Light, Sanctuary, Night-eye, Charm, Sound, Calm, Rally

Weaknesses: She doesn't know when to shut up. She always says what she thinks, even when it would be better for her to lie.


Appearance: Very tall, about 5"11 and skinny. She has black hair, which is slightly wavy. Her eyes are normal Dark-Elf red. Her face is oval shaped.

Why you're in Jail: She was in a band which played songs, among other things, about the corrupt world they were living in. Normally the guards who patrolled the part of the Imperial City they played in didn't really care, but they got swapped with an overzealous "The Elder Council is always right" squad. Her band was arrested for treason.

Personality: Very hot-headed and quick tempered. However she's loyal and will listen to people she likes. Sometimes she gets depressed and shuts everyone out, but most of the time she will talk to people.


Bio/History: Was born and brought up in the Waterfront. Her parents joined with some other parents in the area to jointly educate their children, who soon became as close as siblings, the only difference being that they liked each other. As well as learning academic subjects one of the parents taught them musical instruments. They couldn't find jobs so they formed a band and busked in the areas where the guards would tolerate them. They became very popular quickly because they were the only band singing about the current politics. The Elder Council was worried that they might gain enough popularity to over through them, so they switched the guards.

Chapter 1: To be or Not to be.... that isn't the question




As the town bell rung and the grand elder council was released from a very long meeting. An old, wrinkly, yellow skinned high elf stepped through the massive doors of the white gold tower. At first glance this man looked intellgent, brave, and very wise. But he wasn't, in fact he was probably one of the worst men in the elder council, if thats even possible these days. This high elf had more blood on his hands than sithis himself. He had killed more people than a trained assassin who had spent his whole career shedding blood in exchange for septims, and he hadn't even picked up a dagger in his whole life.

This evil man who goes by the name Sondil, didn't believe in second chances, didn't believe in a fair trial by jury. He didn't even believe that a man who stole bread just to feed his poor family was any less guilty than a man who had gone and slit the throat of a 5 year old girl. He was an animal, corrupted by his greed he only fed off of what would benifit him in the moment, and every week another group of decent people died in anvil because of him. People were like property to him, he made money off of the people who came to see his cruel excutions. The more blood thirsty the crowd was the more septims that would be shoved in his pockets. That's why today his life ends.....


Meanwhile somewhere else in Cyrodil......

"Get the hell in there you worthless redguard" The guard screamed as he jammed Cyrus right into a small room and slammed the door behind him. There wasn't much light in the room, except for a few windows that were place around the room but were impossible to see through because they were place so high up! The room Cyrus stood in was mostly sealed off, and for some reason or another it made Cyrus get a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Oh my god another one...." Cyrus's eyebrows then raised and his eyeballs flew over to one of the far corners of the room. There an imperial in a leather curtiass was sitting starring at him in anger and disgust.

"Uhhh where am I?"Cyrus asked looking towards the imperial who contiued to stare towards him.

"Welcome to the inspection room, don't worry no one can see us. Of course it won't matter because this is the most privacy you'll ever get in this prison again" The guard said chuckling towards the end. He then stood up and began to move in closer to Cyrus.

"Okay take'em off!" he said in a very professional tone as a puzzled look formed on Cyruse's face.
"What am I speakin' dumner here, take those clothes off now!" the imperial spoke again. But now Cyrus was stunned at the guards order, and it was only after a few moments that he finally obeyed and stripped himself of all clothing.

"Finally there we go" the guard said looking at the naked redguard, "I was startin' to fall asleep here, now... I just need you to get up against the wall!" the guard instructed as Cyrus reluctantly obeyed him. Cyrus thought that he was gonna be really sick now. "Okay then, now lastly I need you to face wall and not look back, because you ain't ever gonna wanna remeber this moment again." Cyrus now realizing what was to come obeyed the guards final words as he turned around, closed his eyes, and braced himself.

The next few moments of the inspection I can not put into words as it would mostly get me banned. But lets just say that in this prison they are very thorough when it comes to stip searches.

"Okay then your free to go, now i'm placing on the table everything your allowed to keep in here, eveything else will be confiscated until you've served your time..... or have been chosen for.... well you know...... but which ever comes first for you though." The guard then placed a 3 different pairs of shirts and pants on the table, plus a book labled A Guide to Alkatroz Prison. "Okay then were done here for now I want you to take this sheet and hand it to the guard outside." But Cyrus still stunned from the strip search stood completely in silence as the guard handed him the paper. He then immediatley threw on some clothes and walked out of the room as quickly as he could before any bad "mermories" could enter his mind again.

Cyrus was nearly running when he felt a foot reach out and trip him. "Hold on there you weren't trying to escape now were you?" Nord guard said with a grim chuckle. "Have to kill you then and we wouldn't want that now would we?"

"Look man I wasn't tryin to escape I'm just a little.... edgy at the moment." Cyrus exclaimed to the guard as he got up and dusted himself off. "I guess your the guy the inspector wants me to see right?" Cyrus said now face to face with the man. And even though Nords are incredibly tall Cyrus stood eye to eye with him showing no signs of imtimidation by the height difference.

"Whoa whoa there no need to get hasty here, I was just playin around.... and yes I am now let me see your sheet." The Nord then ripped the sheet from Cyrus's hands. "Oh dear, oh my it says cell number 7. I guess to many redguards takin up prison cells around here they've had to move you in with the Orcs. Hope you enjoy busted lips." The Nord laughed.

"Shut up Nord and take me to my cell, i'm not in the mood today!" Cyrus yelled with intimidation.

"My my is the little redguard angry.... keep doing that and I actually will put you down. Now come on lets go." The Nord said as he grabbed Cyruses hand and dragged him through the prison to his cell. "Lets see here..... number 9, 8,..... and ah there cell 7." The Nord then unlocked the door and shoved Cyrus into a tiny 8 by 9 cell and locked the door. "Well now hope you enjoy the prison here and good luck you'll need it." The Nord then started laughing even more as he walked down the halls of the prison, leaving Cyrus alone in his cell.

Patience, it's only been a few hours. If you get upset at such inactivity you'll never survive a whole RP ;) Don't worry, the RP isn't going to go anywhere.



IC: Baal was alone in his high security cell, smiling bemusedly to himself as he wrote with a fine scrawl, his left hand moving swiftly over the parchment, the dulled quill held in his six fingered hand:

'The mortal mind is composed of three main sections, the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. The Id is the most fundamental, the most primal, of the three, it is where our most basic urges and emotions stem. The Ego is the-'

Baal was interrupted by a loud knocking on his solid iron door, followed by the sliding back of the eye slate. Through the thick iron bars that covered the slate, Baal could see the dark brown eyes of his personal guard, Trenus. He set down the soft quill he had been writing with, he was not allowed any sharp objects, but did not turn to face his keeper.

"Hanniel, a letter for you." Trenus said, his gruff Imperial voice augmented by a false authority. Baal knew everything about the man to the slightest detail, most of it inferred through their short and infrequent conversations.

"From whom? Not another student from the University hoping to interview me, I hope." Baal's calm voice carried a sophisticated air, no doubt learned from his noble parents, though refined over years of posh accomodations. Now he perpetuated the tone for the pleasure of it, because he knew it gave Trenus chills.

"Doesn't say. The only mark is the seal, a sword through a book." Baal could hear his armor shift as he looked down at the envelope, could smell the metallic tinge of sweat on the man's armor. He never did relax, not for a minute. If he had Baal would have used him to break out of this wretched hole already.

"Hmm," Baal ran the symbol through his vast repertoire of knowledge, sifting through his memory for the seal, "I'm not familiar with the insignia. Read it then." The Dunmer understood and complied with the rules of his incarceration, and the screening process that his mail went through was no different. They couldn't take any chances with him, afterall.

"Right," Trenus said, breaking the wax seal and opening the envelope, finding the small slip of parchment inside, "Dear Prisoner, loyalty is far more valuable to me than gold, and freedom can be bought with both. Meet us in the yard at midnight. Yours truly, Black Inc."

Baal smiled, wondering at who the sender could be. Did they not know how heavily guarded he was? Or did they figure that it didn't matter? Either way, the letter piqued his curiosity, and sent his twinkling maroon eyes shining.

"Psht," the guard chuckled, "Who in the world sent this?"

"Surely a prank by some youngsters. Such letters come nearly everyday now, since they found Degil." Baal wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not, but if it truly was a joke then there would be no harm done.

"Yes, I'd heard of that. It never ceases to amaze me how sick of a bastard you really are," Trenus growled, his mind sucesfully off the letter. He slid the door slat shut as fiercely as the small piece of metal would allow, though even through the door Baal could hear him dropping the letter into the large basket with the others.

"Yes, quite," Baal said to himself softly, his thin lips curved into a sardonic smile. He remembered the girl well, that had been a fun day. 'And the taste, remarkable. I'll have to remember to have Bosmer horn in Allemande more often.'

The small candle on his solid metal table flickered, the light dancing like fairies in his eyes. The flame sputtered once more, before dying in a small stream of smoke. Baal's eyes danced for a moment more, two crimson orbs, alone in the darkness. Alone with no one but a madman for company.



OOC: And that's it for my introduction. I'll be sure to have a significantly dramatic escape once we're ready to proceed towards the courtyard. Thanks ;)

OOC: Oh, holy cow its up! Sorry man, had no idea. And Darkom, I think you mean "The RP won't die." Not "The RP won't go anywhere." :lol:

IC: Francis sat in his cell, writing in his journal, writing of the horrors he'd committed, seen, and contemplated while staying in the fortress-turned-prison that was now his home. He was thinking of turning the journal into a book, entitled "The Assassin's Creed" when a loud rapping sounded at his cell door. No doubt the pitiful Khajiiti bastard? Francis thought to himself, imagining the cat-guard who was at least a foot shorter than he, and on a power-trip with his new 'Captain' status.

"Francis, you're writing in your stupid book are you? Hmm, perhaps you'll be buried with that thing, along with every bloody curse you've committed. You'll pay for my fingers you son of a-!" The cat was cut off by a quick poke to the eye by Francis' quill. The second time Francis had gotten the better of the guard, three days ago he had pulled the cat's arm into his cell through the bars on the door and broke, then twisted off two of his fingers. As the tormenting guard screeched and fell back against the adjacent wall, Francis waited for the cat's subordinates to show up.

"The next time you torment me, it may very well be your life, you pathetic excuse for a beast." Francis said menacingly with a loud tone.

"Franky!" Shouted a familiar voice, the voice of an oddly attractive female Imperial guard. She opened the cell and pointed her spear at the Breton man, looking innocent and still holding his quill and journal within the dimly lit cell, a light now shining through the open doorway. "Up against the wall, put the journal and quill on the bed, now!" She commanded.

"Now come on darling, the cat was hissing his brains out about my earlier attack this week. He was annoying me." Said Francis, in a mockingly pleading tone, smiling. But, in a show of respect, he set his things down and put his hands up against the wall.

"Do be gentle now." Francis said, the Imperial patted him down, but was interrupted when the Khajiit captain called her back with a sharp knock on the cell door, and a motion. The Imperial woman then kicked Francis to his knees, "Be good." She said with a wink, then added "Oh, this came for you." She said, tossing a letter to him.

After the two were gone, Francis held the letter near the candle-light on his small bedside desk. It was simple, nothing but an invitation to the courtyard at midnight, the sender was signed as 'Black Inc.' and nothing else.

Francis folded the letter, he then laid back on his bed, reaching beneath the mattress he began to fondle the handle of his shiv. Releasing the handle, he picked up his journal and began writing, his mind partially adrift at the prospect of the night to come.

ooc- My excuse is work. Bleh, needing money to pay for stuff. Have patience, Dark Fox. If you post it, they will come. :P

ic-

"Hey magey-boy! C'mere, and I'll show you some magic tricks of my own!"

"Ha ha! I bet his skinny neck'll snap like a little twig!"

Raves threw a grin at the hecklers as his guard (a stern-looking Nord today) led him past their cells. "I wouldn't be so smug if I were you guys. I'm the one outside my cell."

His guard grabbed his shirt and tossed him roughly forward, hastening their pace.

"Uh oh!" cried the first inmate. "Careful there, mister guard, or the scrawny magey boy might hex you!"

"Ha ha, yeah!" the second cried oh-so-intelligently.

Raves couldn't help but twist against the guard's grip and call back down the block. "At least I have an excuse for not being able to over-power the guards. You guys are just dumb[censored]es."

The Nord gave a growl and yanked him back forward again, then cuffed him for good measure. "Stop taunting the other inmates."

"They started it."

The Nord cuffed him again, and shoved him forward so that Raves was now the one walking in front. The young Dunmer suppressed a sigh and continued the rest of the way to his cell. Prison guards were never any fun, and the ones at Alcatroz were by far the worst of the lot. And the mer had seen a lot of prisons in his short life, so he had a pretty good frame of reference.

They reached the cell that Raves had called home for the last week and a half... a small, uninteresting thing that smelled of urine and sweat. Then again, it was a prison cell, so it wasn't going to smell like Telvanni bug musk. It was a low security cell, in a low security block, because Raves was a low security prisoner. Heck, thanks to the piece of gaudy green jewelry around each wrist, Raves was pretty much powerless (literally!).

And worse, the bright green wristlets broadcasted that fact to every single inmate in the prison. Over the past week and a half, he'd become a favored punching bag around the exercise yard. In fact, he had just returned from a trip to the rather questionably certified prison infirmary, after having had the bones of his fingers reset. Again.

The Nord guard shoved him in and slammed his cell door shut with a dramatic clang, then looked at him balefully through the bars. After a moment of glaring silently at him, he pulled an envelope out of his pocket and tossed it into the cell. "Please try to keep your mouth shut for an hour or so. They're already sick of your gray-skinned face down in the infirmary."

Raves favored the guard with a grin and settled down onto the blanket-covered straw that was probably supposed to be a bed. "Remove the bracelets, and I can silence myself with a simple spell."

The guard rolled his eyes, shook his head, and walked away.

"Just think about it! Pass it down the line... someone's bound to see the genius simplicity of it!"

And then the guard was gone. Miffed, Raves sprawled back onto his bedding, tossing his left arm behind his head and using it as a pillow. After a moment, he held his right arm out and inspected the back of his hand. Carefully, he bent each finger, testing that there was no lingering damage. It wasn't that he didn't trust the prison healer... no wait. That was exactly it.

He turned his hand and did the same for the palm side, bending his fingers around with more confidence and dexterity. The middle finger still twinged a little, but, considering it had been bent backwards an hour ago, Raves would consider it an improvement.

He knew, logically, that he wouldn't make such a target of himself if he wasn't so loud about it. But hey, that Khajiit had obviously been cheating; he'd had a card sticking out of his sleeve, for Nocturnal's sake. Raves had simply pointed it out. By pickpocketing it. And then bragging about pickpocketing it. It wasn't his fault that the Khajiit had a big Orc friend who apparently liked to take peoples' hands and creatively reorganize them.

Raves stretched his hand out, then tested a couple of the motions that he commonly used in his sleight-of-hand games. Only then--having assured himself that his livelihood would not suffer if he ever got out--did he drop his hand and turn his attention to the envelope the guard had tossed in.

He sat up, reached across his cell (silently lamenting his lack of telekinesis), and picked it up. Curiously, he fingered it. His first instinct was that it was someone else calling in a debt, especially when he didn't recognize the seal. At least it wasn't from the Telvanni. They'd sent him a package once, about a year ago. It had exploded.

In a swift, smooth motion, he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. Reading it over, he sniggered, but read it through to the end. "Black Inc?" he chuckled, folding it up and slipping it into his shoe. "What, is this prison existing in the middle of a book, or something?"

Nonetheless, his interest was definitely piqued. Whoever had written that letter was talking about freedom, and that was something Raves dearly needed right now.

Those green bracers were chafing something fierce, in more ways than one.

OOC:Yeah well i just think most were missing because not alot were one when i posted it and because of the name change it wasn't easy to spot once it was knocked down. Also letters only have to be read to highly secured prisoners so feel free to read your own letters.

Meanwhile inside Alkatorz prison two guards were now talking over a letter that had been sent from and unknown sender:

"That Baal guy I just talked with received an odd letter today." the guard said as flashed the envelope in the man's face.

"So what about it. I'm not the warden, why you tell'n me." the other guard exclaimed as he batted the man's hand away.

"Well Jerome, I just wanted you to know we really gotta watch out for this prank stuff. It's startn' get annoying reading these fake letters." the guard looked at the letter in disgust. "Every week I read some bull letter about complete nonsense from people who think that they're comedians. It's tiresome reading fake letter after fake letter! I mean c'mon throw me a bone here I ain't a scholar."

Jerome starred at the man for a moment, a confused look started to form on his face. "That's what you came here for? To complain about prank letters, what the hell do I look like a suggestions box! I don't give a damn about your stupid ass problems, you've wasted my time Jason, just.....just get the hell out of here!" Jerome yelled in a great anger towards Jason and his nonsense. He then grabbed the letter straight out of his hands. "Now let me dispose of this letter properly." Jerome proclaimed and then looked down to examine the letter. There he saw the symbol of a sword ripping through a book. It drew his interest greatly and he couldn't help but take a peak, as he opened the letter the same symbol was repeated again. He started to read its contents. But as he read through his face grew greatly puzzled, it took him only a few moments of staring at the letter that Jerome realized this was no ordinary letter. His eyes grew big and wide, and his mouth opened to speak but only short stutters came out. "Y....Yo.... You moron. Jason we have to go show the warden now!"Jerome spoke while starring off into complete space.

"What's the rush it's just a prank letter?" Jason's utter stupidity obviously couldn't comprehend what was going on. But before he could say anything more Jerome had already taken off going faster than the speed of light, straight towards the wardens office.

IC: Aaron layed back on his cot, staring at the small hourglass that he had been allowed to take with him. The swirl of the pink sand was the only movement he had seen in a week. He was used to being able to do something everyday, and this lifestyle was driving him nuts. hokerrs in other cells would scream and curse all night so he couldnt even get his 40 winks. There had to be a loophole. Someway out.

"Oi, pondscum!" shouted a red-faced Breton guard. "Aw Azura...." Aaron cursed to himself. It was his assigned guard, Tuomos. This guy felt it was his job to make Aaron's daily life living hell. "The hell do you want, dandy?" Aaron snapped. "Letter came for 'ya." Tuomus answered matter-of-factly. "Let me see it, [censored]!" Aaron barked back. Tuomos shoved the letter through the bars at Aaron's chest. The force almost knocked him off his feet.

"Maybe the warden's lettin' ya out early for good behavior!" Tumous said sarcastically. As Aaron picked the letter up off the ground, he made a rude gesture with his middle finger. Tuomos suddenly decided that he had had enough fun for one day, and stomped back down the hall.

Aaron's deep green eyes scanned the letter. He grinned. And that grin turned into a smile. Whoever had written this thing was giving him the one thing in the world he needed right now: A loophole!

There were very few things that Larry looked forward to in prison, one of them was the call of "Breakfast!". Larry had been used to eating fairly well. It had been quite a shock to get thrown in here and have nothing more then bread and water. But now that he was used to it - He couldn't think of anything he'd rather have in the morning. Like a dog he would wait for a guard to throw his into the cell so he could begin to lap up the food.

He sighed at the thought of it, Godamn prison. he thought to himself as he laid down against his bed. He thought about his time in prison, how it had been quite a nightmare. He began to hear people being jeered and insulted, either from another cell mate or a guard, it was always difficult to tell. Luckily Larry never really had that. When someone would perk up and sling an insult at him, he'd either ignore it or just tell them of the time he violated their mother. It usually shut them up - And if it was a guard, it would definetly get him beaten.

It was around here when he was contemplating why someone would do something when he recieved a letter. He'd never had a letter before and was quite confused by it for a moment or two as he stared at the parchment. As the guard walced away, he began to unfold it quickly. Black Inc? he asked himself, he'd never heard of it and the chance of that was slim considering his time working for similar organisations.

Well, that was a stupid idea, meeting at midnight. he thought to himself, he had a friend in the guard, someone who was currently working as a double agent for the Imperial Jail Guard, he was sure he could contact him sometime today and arrange Larry to wander around for about 40 or so minutes. Although, the thought of escape wasn't a welcome one. He didn't know who to trust in the outside world, and he wasn't so sure he'd have 3 meals a day. What am I thinking? he finished, deciding he would rather spend his evenings hungry and warm, instead of full and cold.

"Why are my sleeves torn off, Lin?" Qa'shirr asked his partner in crime, Urdlin, who had ripped the sleeves off of his shirt a few hours earlier.

"Psychological effect, Qash." Urdlin explained, grinning with false wit, "You're the taller one, you're meant to be the muscle. That means you have to look the part. Look imposing, furious, and try not to appear so confused all the time."

"But I am confused." Qash told him, "Like why we haven't tried to get any weapons yet."

"They search us all the time, Qash, that won't work. Ideally, we should learn magic. We've already been past the magical inspection, and if we hide it well enough we will have a weapon we can use at any time." Qash's nose wrinkled, "Who will we find to teach us magic in this place?"

"Oh, please. Necromancers, conjurers, nightblades, magic has all sorts of illegal applications. There must be a few criminal mages in here, and at least one would be willing to teach in exchange for his own protection. Perhaps even his freedom when we escape."

Qash nodded his head in half-understanding, and then there was a long pause before he noticed something. "What's that?" The furred index claw of Qa'shirr jutted out towards a shredded envelope and a crumpled letter sitting on the bench next to Urdlin. He shrugged, "We got a letter today."

"From who?" Qash asked, glancing hurriedly between his accomplice and the letter, "The Brotherhood?"

"I don't know. Who cares? It's a prank letter." Urdlin rolled his eyes, and began staring at the ceiling. "But what does it say?" Qa'shirr was getting anxious now.

Urdlin gave an irritated sigh at the imperceptiveness of his colleague, "It's signed from someone named 'Black Inc.', which is obviously a fake name. They want to meet us in the courtyard at midnight to plan an escape, which is obviously a trap."

"How do you know they don't just want us to help them escape?" Qa'shirr wondered. Urdlin picked up the letter and shook it as he spoke, "Because the guards read all our mail, don't they? They wouldn't let something like this slip by. This is probably the Warden's handwriting. Some kind of loyalty test or somesuch. They'll have guards waiting to catch us in the act, and then we'll get our rations cut. Or worse."

Qash shook his head in disbelief, "Why would they prison guards do that?"

"Because they're a bunch of daedra-kissing curs!" Urdlin almost jumped as soon as he heard himself say this, glancing out the door of their cell to make sure none of the guards had overheard him. He lowered his voice and continued, "If it were up to them, they would sooner kill us than lock us up here. It's no skin off their back, and some of them are psychotic enough that they might enjoy it. Which is why we have to do our best to stay out of their way until we can concoct a real plan of escape. We're going to look around for mages tomorrow morning, and that's final."

"Fine." Qa'shirr sat back in his seat, his eyes still fixed on the letter.

OOC: Sorry, esteemed comrades. My internet was down last night.

IC: Elusmyr woke with a start. A guard whoms name he had never bothered to learn was tapping the door.

"What do you want, blunt ear?" Elusmyr stated flatly.

"There's a letter for you, goldenrod. To be honest, I'm suprised anyone in this world gives a [censored] about you enough to send a letter. But here it is, so take it."



The guard threw the letter in through the slot in the door.

Elusmyr spat through the slot, hitting the guard in the face.

"[censored]!" He slammed the door.

Elusmyr got stood up, and noticed a rat staring at him. They locked eyes, a contest of wills. Eventually, the rat could take it no longer, and scurried back to it's hole. Elusmyr sighed, and for what seemed the millionth time, lit his candle and looked at the small, cramped room he lived in. There was a bed built into the side of the far wall, covered in holes from the gnawing of rats. More prisoners probably died from rat bites then execution, Elusmyr mused. The only other features in the windowless room were a small stool, and a small wobbly table with a candle, a quill, ink and some paper. Not as if he'd ever use any of the writing tools.

He walked across the room to the letter, stooped over and picked it up. He broke the seal and read the contents.

"Dear Prisoner,

Loyalty is far more valuable to me than gold, and freedom can be bought with both. Meet us in the yard at midnight.


Yours truly,
Black Inc."

It read. If it wasn't for the seal, he'd almost think it was another of that orc in the yard's silly traps. The message was certainly suspicious, and he'd never heard of this "Black Inc", it was probably a made up name, he thought.

But then again, it was sealed, and with the kind of seal no one in the prison would be able to get their hands on. And this made him quite curious. He decided to go to the yard at the appointed time. It would hardly be unsuspicious going out at midnight, though.

Still, the lure of freedom was inticing.

So he turned and walked out of his room, and wandered through the maze of stone corriders until he came out into the yard. The green bracers on his arms assured he was met with sneers and heckling. But he ignored it and carried on. Perhaps this would the interesting.

He arrived at a table where some other inmates were playing a primitive game based on the movement of small stone pieces. He found it entertaining, and it was the best thing he could do to pass the time.

Meer paced up and down his cell rubbing his wrists. The damn bracelets were bound far too tightly for his liking and chances are they were completely pointless. He'd expended the majority of his magicka supply making those blasted ash skins suffer as he struck them down. While it had been just over a month since then, thanks to the power of the atronach, his magicka was still low so unless someone started casting spells at him he had perhaps enough energy to freeze the lock on his cell and where would that get him? Once out he would have no where to go and just get throw back in a cell. Stupid over cautious Imperials.

"Hey, lizard breath." A guard taunted from the other side of the bars "there's a letter for you."
"I trust you're aware of what happened to the last person who called me that." He snarled stopping in the middle of his cell.
"What you gonna do, tickle me to death" he mocked indicating the bright green bracelets.
"I don't need spells to break your neck." The guards face paled and he quickly thrust the letter through the bars and made a hasty retreat. Stupid kid probably joined the legion for glory and ended up being posted here.

Meer broke the seal and read the contents several times just to make sure he was not mistaken. "Interesting," he murmured to himself, "very interesting."

The hot Kvatch sun beat down on Cyrus's back as he stood out in the yard. It was another hot day in Alkatorz, and Cyrus couldn't help but stand and watch as the prisoners tried to get comfortable in their new homes. Khajiits in one corner would sit on a bench and pass down a bottle of Skooma while a gang of orcs beat up a helpless woodelf. Redguards would walk around telling old sea storys while High Elves would just stare at their wrists wishing they could cast a spell to take them away from this nightmare. It was amazing the amount of alienation that took place at this prison, every race had their own territory and weren't given it up to no one.... except the wood elves perhaps.

It wasn't really until an hour later that Cyrus was approached by a Khajiit, obviously high on Skooma while green bracelets swung around his wrists. He stumbled as he walked up to Cyrus and Cyrus just tried to pretend he was busy with something else, but that didn't stop him as the Khajiit began to speak. "Heys therez buddys....." the Khajiit said with a slurr before taking another drink from his Skooma bottle and then waving his arms in the air. "Yours news here aren't ya."

"Um..... look Khajiit i'm a bit busy at the moment, so could you go away.... please." Cyrus said with a bit of annoyed tone in his voice.

"Ok comes now buddys i'm just wantin a friend. Mes yous bes friends." The Khajiit then fell over to the ground only to jump back up soon after.

"Uh well I ain't lookin' for friends okay so just go away." Cyrus then turned around and began to walk off only to feel the Khajiits arm wrap around his waist and drag him back in.

"Wanna know a secrets. I gots a letter that will tell you all that you need to know." The Khajiit then took another swag of his Skoom before pulling out a letter and flashing it in Cyruses face. "Goz a.... ahead look at it my man, you're gonna love it." Cyrus puzzled grabbed the letter straight out of his hand and examined it. It was made out of a nice parchment and had a very pretty stamp on it. But as he looked down he found it, a sword ripping through a book. He then decided to open the letter, only this time to find it repeated in the corner. And then a writing below it, written in a beautiful black ink as if it fate its self had sent a letter to this cat. It read:

"Dear Prisoner,

Loyalty is far more valuable to me than gold, and freedom can be bought with both. Meet us in the yard at midnight.


Yours truly,
Black Inc."


"What the hell is this, who are you." Cyrus said now looking at the Khajiit.

"Justs a friend, friend." The Khajiit uttered before stumbling off.

"Oh, come on, you gotta appreciate the irony.." Karst complained, laughing as she was dragged by the collar back to her cell, "I beat up a mage with magicka! If an Orc can have a sense of humor then you, sir, have no excuse."

Her escort sighed. "I'm growing tired of having to drag you out of fights by your tail, fuzzwad. If you're not careful, I'm going to get you fitted with a nice set of green bracelets," he said and smiled slightly, "They'll go wonderfully with your eyes."

Karst gave her guard a pout. "Aw, c'mon. That stuffy Altmer [censored] had it coming to her. Besides, I thought men loved watching chicks beat the crap out of each other,"

"Sometimes, just sometimes, Karst, I like to have some peace and quiet. Ever since they tossed you in here, I've had to babysit you," he groaned, "And to think, when I was told I'd been assigned to a thief, I thought it'd be easy. You'd spend your time making half-cocked escape attempts and hiding from the bigger inmates in fear and all I'd be needed for was feeding you and taking you to the infirmary. Hmph."

"Well, you do do both of those things," Karst pointed out unhelpfully.

"You know, one of these day's you're going to insult a scrawny mage and find out that he has a big, Orcish buddy. I look forward to that day," the armored Imperial said bitingly, letting go of her collar and grabbing his keys from his belt when they'd reached her cell.

Some would question why anyone would let an incarcerated stealth artist loose for even a moment, but he knew the feline knew her chances of escape very well after her first attempt. She also knew that attempting to escape got her an asskicking from the other Legionnaires, and the battlemages tended to like shock magicka. When he let he go, she leaned casually on the column between her cell and the one to the left of it, arms crossed, then trotted obediently into her personal little hole when the door was opened.

"Oh, before I go, you got mail today,"

Karst's ears stood forward at this and she about-faced to look at her personal guard. "Really? From who?"

"Hell if I know, I didn't read it. Here," the man held out his hand, from which the small Khajiit snatched an envelope. Turning it over, she saw a black wax seal, pressed with the image of a book impaled on a sword.

"Huh. Thanks, man," Karst said, slightly surprised that anyone had bothered to write. Sure, she had friends on the outside, but none of them had been that close to her, "Guess I'll see you at my next break, eh?"

"Yeah. Try to behave next time," the guard snorted, slamming the door. Karst's body involuntarily flinching at the loud noise, her ears flattening for a second, and when she looked back up, he was gone. Regarding the letter in her hand lazily, she sat at her little table and opened it, read it, then reclined in the rickety wooden chair.

"Black Inc.?" Karst mused to herself, then shrugged, "Guess I may as well check it out when I'm out next."

Jerome tenderly rubbed his black eye while splashing a pale of clean water over his face. Never had he seen the warden so angry to hear news. It hadn't even been a year since this prisons existence and yet people already thought they could break out of an unbreakable prison, and this news had troubled the warden greatly. The warden had sworn after the meeting that if he even found one prisoner with an ounce of magical ability he would have them braceleted and locked in a high security vault. But worst of all was when Jerome claimed that how the letter was addressed could point to the fact that it was made to be sent to several different prisoners throughout Alkatroz, and that really pushed his angry button. So much that he even popped Jerome one right in his eye. He couldn't help the fact that they might be attacked tonight, all they could hope for was to interrogate some prisoners until they found out who was in on it.....

"Hey Jerome over here." Jerome spun around so fast that he nearly made a perfect circle in the dirt that was laying on the ground beneath him. There a guard stood now looking questionably at the bruise laid over Jerome's eye. "Let me guess warden again?" the guard stated.

"Yeah, the warden." Jerome replied before focusing his attention on the water bucket again.

The guard shook his head. "Okay well that's beside the point. You need to know that the guards and prisoners are gonna be gathering in the yard in about an hour. Just received report that we're to take a batch of new excutionees to anvil tonight." This recent news immediately caught Jerome's attention. He then spun around again, and became face to face with the man.

"Tonight? I thought we didn't do executions till Middas and even then we didn't choose prisoners till Sundas. Since when did we execute prisoners on Fredas's?" Jerome asked the guard with a confused look on his face.

"Change of plans, we just received a letter from Sondil of the elder council. He wants executions doubled from once a week to twice a week on Fredas's and Middas's every week." The guard then handed Jerome a slip of paper. "It's stated right here see." Jerome looked at the paper curiously.

"I swear every week with this Sondil he demands more and more executions, it's not my fault we get an average of 10 prisoners a day." Jerome then threw the paper on the floor. "Okay, okay I'll go tell the guard captain to get everyone to meet in the yard in about an hour. There we'll pick anvil's newest victims." Jerome then reached down and picked up the discarded letter and stuffed it in his pocket. "Another day, another septim." he said. Then marched on down to the captains office.


OOC: NOTICE: Okay now this scene will not continue until everyone has moved to the court yard. Unless you're in a high secured vault in which it would be impossible to go out. (ill tell you what to do then.) but anyways once I continue with the next scene it will be the end of chapter 1 and also it will be the last chance for any new arrivals. So when you all are ready we will continue to the final post of chapter 1.

OOC: Wait, so we are being escorted to the prison yard by guards to be chosen for execution? I'm not entirely certain what you want us to do, are we waiting 'till midnight to escape still or is there a change in plans? And don't worry, I can break my own guy out, no need to worry ;)

OOC: No you have to go out yourselves (Or ill just rp you out if you don't get on for awhile.) Some of the prisoners in alkatroz are already at recess if you know what i mean ;). And once everyone is ready ill stop the recess for a breif moment where i will have the guards walk in and make their grim announcement. After they are done i will end chapter 1 (which also signals the end of registration for the rp.) and we will begin chapter 2 which is the breakout.

My notice is kinda like the "are you sure you are ready to exit the sewers" warning you see in oblivion right before you exit through the giant gates to Cyrodil. Don't worry about where you are i've got everything covered for the breakout, this scene is just to add on some more suspense to the rp.

Larry walked lazily into the courtyard, the hot sun hit him like a hammer and he was forced to raise his hands to shield himself. He rarely went out into the courtyard, it was usually violant, overly warm and not particularly interesting. He much prefered sitting in his cell sleeping or trying to read a book his guard friend would bring him every so often. He noticed the various guards dotted around the area, they were armed with swords but that was it. Larry doubted they would expect anyone to try and escape anytime soon.

He sighed with boredom and slouched against a bench where he decided to rest his head atop his folded arms. It was comfortable, and the warmth from the sun was soothing. However, the noise from the other inmates stopped him from enjoying the moment, and it wasn't long before he began to get irritated by it. I better have some money on the other side of these walls. he thought, he wasn't looking forward to going into poverty as soon as he was free. It wasn't something he looked forward to.

It didn't take long for Raves' skepticism to change to excitement. With each passing minute, the letter seemed just a little less ridiculous, and just a little more enticing. Freedom, it had said. If there was one thing Raves' loved, it was his freedom. Ever since his parents had taken to locking him in his room as a boy, Raves had always revelled in doing things just because he could.

Soon, this would just be another stint in prison... a blip of boredom in the long, adventure-filled epic that was his life.

When the Nord guard returned to Raves' cell later that day and saw him smiling, the man gave the young Dunmer a look that said, 'so Sheogorath got to you already, eh?' before unlocking the door and dragging him out. Raves just grinned and tried not to show too much bounce in his gait. The paper tucked in his shoe crinkled quietly with each step.

He was going to get out: he just knew it. Already, his mind was planning how he'd get free. He wasn't up to pickpocketing a guard... and he didn't have a lockpick, so picking his door himself was not happening.

But there was one thing he could still do... when the time came, he'd be able to get to that courtyard. He had to.

All around him, other inmates were being taken out of their cells. Some of them were grim, some rowdy, some raving or sobbing. The guards seemed to all be fairly serious... but then, when were they ever not?

Raves was led with other low-security prisoners out into the courtyard. The Dunmer wasn't entirely sure why they were out here (and the silent Nord guard wasn't any help), since this wasn't routine, as far as he could tell. Nonetheless, all the same ugly faces as usual were there. When Raves saw the Orc who had nearly maimed him, he forced a smile and waved at the brute, sure to wiggle his fingers just for effect. The Orc showed his tusks threateningly, and Raves' guard smacked the elf. After a stern look, the guard walked away, leaving Raves to his own devices (for better or worse).

He noticed an Imperial slouched against a bench nearby, pillowing his head with his arms. Raves tossed a glance over at the Orc (who was still staring at him rather intensely, and seemed to have taken a couple steps toward him in the last few seconds), and decided that he needed to attach himself to someone. Maybe if he acted like he had back-up, the Orc would back off.

And so, Raves walked over to the bench and hopped onto it. He perched on it in a crouch, tilting his head to one side as he regarded the Imperial. Teasingly, he said, "You know, that's not really the proper function of a bench."

He flicked his eyes over toward the Orc. Sure enough, the Orc had turned away, tossing him a significant 'later, pipsqueak' look.

Raves grinned at his small victory. With renewed enthusiasm, he turned his attention back to the Imperial. This guy didn't look like the type to beat up scrawny mage boys, and Raves was aching for some decent conversation. It wouldn't hurt to kill some time, anyway.

Elusmyr decided he'd been sitting long enough at one of the the yard's rotting wooden tables. The guards seemed tense, well, more tense then usual. Elusmyr walked around the yard for a bit, thinking to himself. The noise was almost overwhelming. A loud din that seemed to block out all else.


Suddenly, Elusmyr cut his walk short. The orc who was always beating up the inmates was walking in his direction, though he hadn't seemed to have noticed Elusmyr yet. He had a disgruntled look on his face at said he was looking for trouble, and Elusmyr decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

Elusmyr tried to find a place to get away from the orc, and slipped behind a tree near a bench with two people sitting on it.

The orc passed without incident, and Elusmyr moved out from under the small tree, which had been planted there to provide shade. He noticed that the dunmer sitting on the bench wore the familiar green bracers that adorned his own arms, next to an Imperial. They seemed to be an interesting pairing, maybe worth a bit of conversation. He had seen the dunmer before oh the yards, but not the Imperial.

Elusmyr walked up to the bench and took a seat. He turned to the Dunmer and greeted him:

"I see you wear these same ugly green bracers, dark elf. You don't mind if I sit hear for a while? I assume not, and thus I shall. So, what do you specialize in? A Dark Elf, so I assume you're not in here for necromancy related charges." He grinned smugly.

Name: Saul Oakenfield

Nickname: Saul

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: The Warrior


Class: Imperial Mercanary

Weapons: Light Steel Crossbow (with Oak wood style in the side of the metal) Iron short sword

Clothes: Leather Armor, Iron bracers, Rough leather greaves, boots, cuirass, no pouldrons

Skills: Tracking, archery, blade, light armor, survival, athletics
Weaknesses: Spell combat, and large sums of gold


Appearance: white skin color with a red tan, stands at 5 ft 10, slight muscular build, black long hair, lets his hair hang, has a scar on his right cheek under his eye,

Why you're in Jail: Payed to Guard the Prisoners, and aprehend them or kill if necessary

Personality: like all bounty hunters hes a cocky s.o.b., mean, but nice to his fellow guards and bounty hunters, he has an ankling for doing whats right


Bio/History: Born in the imperial city, and raised, long story short he was trained in the arena to be a ruthless killer, he wasnt ruthless but he got the job done while battling in the arena for money and alcohol, he later quit to become a guard but never achieved it, so he did what all early retired arena fighters do, they become mercarnies and bounty hunters. After the Oblivion Crisis he was one of hundreds of bounty hunters or mercs to help the imperial guard keep peace or join crews of thugs, killers and convicts, when his home was burnt to the ground during a riot he put himself for hire at the imperial prisom... whats left of it, hes famous for bringing in most of the lot, but when it over filled thats when he was hired to guard Alkotroz

IC:

Saul Oakenfield, or just Saul as the guards called him, He keeps thinking to himself, "Payed me alot to come here... but now its only a few septims a day... bahh... it shouldnt be all that bad, sure its hot in the courtyard, and damp and dry on the inside... i-" he stops his train of thought as a Crude officer Apraoches him in the cold Mess hall,

Looks at each other face to face till one said to the other with a grim look on each others face, "Luitenent Oakenfield you-", "As i said dont call me luitenent, im just a mercanary payed to help you imcompentant guards keep everyone in check!" he said, "You better think your words carefully next time meat", "anyway, is there something you came to me for? hurry my ale isnt getting any older" he told the gurad

"Jerome wants to see you in the Courtyard, and drinking on the job isnt what your getting PAYED for, so get your butt to the courtyard before i have you punished!"

"Yeah yeah, Jerome wants to see everyone-" "No just you now get going"


Saul hasitly walking towards the door to the Courtyard, he begins to think if the rumors are true, "No one ever breaks out of Alkotroz... no one, but you never know, remain vigilant and always on thew watch for the tiniest flaw"

He walks past cell after cell, Orcs now turned into mindless monsters thrashing their arms outside the bars, roaring with bloodlust as Saul walks by, Woods Elves crying in the corners of the cells, Argonians always wanting out, Khajiit walking around in circles... fiends, craving skooma and moon sugar, somehow Saul had always felt bad for the prisoners and wanted to help them, but in a rough place like this theres no time for kindness, only brutality to keep prisoners in line, he walks by nords, imperials and redguards. dunmer and altmer fighting amongst each other for a scarp of bread, he soon begins to think if he himself will ever get out of Alkotroz and so some real work.

As he walks outside, the hot sunny sun begins to set, he looks for Jerome, not long till he finds him.

"You wanted to see me... sir?"
