The Elder Scrolls Chronicles: Thunder Valley

[Eltee]

Balmora
Llela Ienith quietly opened the door to Ballora's Hlaalu council chambers. She had a bow slung over her shoulder, and she was holdling a small burlap bag. She approached the Captain of the guard.
"Hmm. House Sister. I assume you have been successful?" The man said quietly, slightly muffled by the bonemold helmet he was wearing. Llela nodded almost imperceptibly, and handed the man the bag. The guard opened it, looked inside, and shuddered. The severed head of a Telvanni Mage gazed back at him from staring, dead eyes. "The b*stard made his lair in a cave along the Odai south of here. I think he was abducting travelers for his experiments." Llela said quietly.
The Captain shuddered. "You have done a great service to the House today, Llela." He said formally. He extended his hand, which had a small coinpurse in it. "Your wage. Well earned."
Llela took the purse. "Tell me if the House has any further need of me." Llela said, walking out of the council chamber. The tossed the bag in her hand guagingly. It felt like... About 100 Drakes. Llela smiled as she entered her house in Labour Town. She entered slowly, padding her feet. Her sister was asleep. Llela lay down in her bed, and closed her eyes.

Llandras read the mysterious note. Hmm... he wondered. Is this a trap or a real message? Won't hurt to find out. Maybe. He started packing some weapons and potions for the trip.

Llandras was in the midst of packing when a folded piece of paper fell out of the first piece of paper, he had read. He unfolded it, and out fell a light green shard of glassy material that emitted a green aura of mysterious power. The paper he unfolded was a map of Tamriel and how to get to Thunder Valley. The directions were very clear:

1) Travel to The Imperial City Waterfront and speak with the Imperial sailor at the docks by the name of Zeno Herennius.
2) Pay Zeno Herennius to take you to Seyda Neen in Vvardenfell, Morrowind, and speak with his Altmer friend, Siltenda on the docks.
3) Siltenda will take you to her home just outside of Seyda Neen.
4) Give Siltenda the green shard that was included in this message.
5) Siltenda will transport you to Thunder Valley's temple.

Spoiler:

Umm.... I'm in Balmora... Wouldn't it be faster to Silt Strider to Seyda Neen?

[mcjordalini]

Thoryn stood contemplating this news. What a startling coincidence it had been, and how cruel fate for bringing that Elf so close, only to be slain.

I'd best be off at once, he thought, readying his pack. He took the talisman from its wrapping and took it in his hands, willing its powers to unleash.

In a flash, he felt Cheydinhal dematerialize around him, and an alien and unknown city grow up around him.

So this is Grey Fall City, he mused, I wonder what mysterious and trials it has in store.[/color]

Thoryn thought it'd be best to ask around for some information on where things are.

"It'd be best to get a taste for this city if I am to be here for a while. I am pretty far from home anyways .. I should probably get myself familiarized now." he said discomfortingly, not wanting to do such a chore.

Maybe he can pick up some new equipment or useful items such as potions and lock picks.

Spoiler:

Essentially waiting for the others to arrive in Grey Fall.

*Thank Mephala* Irvam thought, leaving for his room. He didn't bother unpacking, instead he set out at once for Anvil, sneaking past the innkeeper so as not to disturb him and arouse suspicion.

He stole a horse just outside of town and rode for the Hammerfell border. He rode all the way to Skaven, before he stopped to rest, and steal a fresh steed, then set off directly south for Rihad, after which, he could set out for Anvil.

Irvam had been traveling night and day to get to Anvil, but finally reached his goal. He thought it'd be best to put his stolen mount somewhere hidden that he'd remember, like behind a rock tied to a tree, instead of at the stables.

Off to the Mages Guild now I suppose ... Irvam thought to himself.

When Irvam stepped through the door of the guild hall, his skeptic thinking worsened and didn't believe that the messenger back in Wayrest was telling any sorts of truth; doing nothing but to waist his time as part of a sick joke. Damn mages., he thought to himself. Irvam was then greeted by Carahil, the guild master in Anvil.

"Hello. You don't look like the mage type ... Are you the visitor that has been sent ?"

Irvam's face was twisted with confusion because everyone seems to know who he is, and where he's going and coming from. Damn mages., he thought to himself again.

"Yes I am the visitor. I was told to speak to you in private."

"Ah yes, come with me.", Carahil said smilingly.

Carahil took Irvam to a back room with strange markings on the floor, and a few glowing green crystals at very specific looking spots on the markings. Irvam was told to stand in the center of the markings, he did. Before he had time to question Carahil, she was already reciting some sort of incantation and before he knew it ... He was in a new world ... No where he'd seen before.

"Mamvil, would you allow me to bring my wife with me?"

"You may bring your wife yes, but she will not be able to come with you on the tasks that are given to you by my master, Fernos. However ... We do have guest housing at the Fortress in Grey Fall and you and your wife are more than welcome to live there for the time being.", he said informatively.

Spoiler:

I guess this is LtGt72's first post in the RP. :p

Llela was awakened by cold water being thrown on her. It was a violent awakening. She came quick to realize that she was surrounded by Telvanni mages in a cave, and that she was tied to a chair. She tried to struggle and get loose but the mages only laughed at her, because they knew that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to escape the enchanted ropes they put around her; they were unbreakable.

"Let me go !" Llela exclaimed with anger and panic.

A Telvanni mage laughed and walked through the the others towards Llela, grabbed her face and said very strictly,

"No. You killed our brother, and for that, you will pay."

"He was abducting travelers !"

The Telvanni mages chuckles, forcefully let go of her jaw, and walked away calmly.

Spoiler:

Umm.... I'm in Balmora... Wouldn't it be faster to Silt Strider to Seyda Neen?

Spoiler:

Lol oh yea. Sorry. >< I was very tired last night and replying to a lot of things at once. :p Mixing places up I guess. Skip the Water Front part then and just go from Balmora.

Llandras started packing again. When he finished, he carried his bag to the Silt Strider post and asked the Silt Strider person for a trip to Seyda Neen. He gave the person the fee and sat back for the ride.

Llandras started packing again. When he finished, he carried his bag to the Silt Strider post and asked the Silt Strider person for a trip to Seyda Neen. He gave the person the fee and sat back for the ride.

Llandras arrived to Seyda Neen and saw a female Altmer at the docks. She was the only one there, so she must have been who he was supposed to meet.

"Excuse me ? Are you Siltenda ?"

"Why yes, I am. I presume that you are Llandras, and that I am to take you to my home now."

"Uh ... Alright.".

When the two got to the house, Llandras was amazing by the strange markings on the floor, and curious as to what they meant.

"You have something for me ?" Siltenda said expectingly,

"Oh right !", Llandras handed over the green glassy shard.

Siltenda put the glassy shard into a hole in the ground that matched with the markings. It fit, just like a puzzle. The markings began to glow and Llandras stepped back unsure of the safety. The Altmer opened her arm pointing towards the middle of the markings on the floor, a gesture of sorts telling Llandras to step in the middle, he did just that. Siltenda then began to recite an incantation, and Llandras felt the world of Seyda Neen disappear from around himself and a new world reappear in it's place. This world was new and strange.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

"Wha..What the..." Llandras muttered in confusion. "Where is this place? Is it Thunder Valley?" Llandras said while leaning back instinctively. In his mind, he thought about why he was chosen and why he was at Thunder Valley. "Hello? Anybody here? F'lahs? Where is everybody?"

So yes, it is Thunder Valley. :p Your character shouldn't be experiencing confusion of where he is .. Instead, he should be experiencing realization of where he is because in the note it told him where/ what he was going/ doing. Know what I mean ?

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Spoiler:

He could still be not sure, like disbelief that the note was real or this place is real or if this really was Thunder Valley's temple. It's not like he knew that the note is true.

Spoiler:

Ah ! I misunderstood your post then. (: My bad. The story might hit a bit of a halt until the other players get to Grey Fall (waiting for them to come online basically. xD).

It was late at night, so the streets of Grey Fall were empty and eerie. Llandras decided to look for a tavern or an inn to stay at for the night. When it was day time, he would begin familiarizing himself with the city and it's people..

Spoiler:

McJ? Y U Mod my character?

"You b*stard!" Llela screamed. "Where in Oblivion am I?!? Let me go!"

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Spoiler:

Probably last post for two hours. Until then, you can DM my character.

Llandras found a wooden inn. When he went in, he asked the innkeeper if he could have a room. He produced 20 drakes from his pack and showed them to the innkeeper. "Also, could I buy some food?" he asked.

[mcjordalini]

The inn keeper was pleased to get some business tonight, as it has been a slow night for her. She took his 20 Septims and put them in the chest behind the bar, then continued to put food on a plate for Llandras. She handed the food, and the room key to him with a smile.

"Great service here in Thunder Valley", Llandras thought to himself.

He continued to his room.

Spoiler:

The food can be whatever you want if you choose to put it in your next post.

Llandras opened the door and set the food on the table nearest to the bed. He began chewing on the Hound Meat and bread hungrily. He gobbled them up in only one minute. When he was finished, he began munching on the leek.

Irvam had been traveling night and day to get to Anvil, but finally reached his goal. He thought it'd be best to put his stolen mount somewhere hidden that he'd remember, like behind a rock tied to a tree, instead of at the stables.

Off to the Mages Guild now I suppose ... Irvam thought to himself.

When Irvam stepped through the door of the guild hall, his skeptic thinking worsened and didn't believe that the messenger back in Wayrest was telling any sorts of truth; doing nothing but leading him astray as part of some sort of conspiracy. Damn mystery mages, he thought to himself I have important work to be done. Irvam was then greeted by Carahil, the guild master in Anvil.

"Hello. You don't look like the type we usually get ... Are you the visitor that has been sent ?"

Irvam's face was twisted with confusion because everyone seems to know who he is, and where he's going and coming from. Damn mages., he thought to himself again.

"Yes I am the visitor. I was told to speak to you in private."

"Ah yes, come with me.", Carahil said smilingly.

Carahil took Irvam to a back room with strange markings on the floor, and a few glowing green crystals at very specific looking spots on the markings. Irvam was told to stand in the center of the markings, he did. Before he had time to question Carahil, she was already reciting some sort of incantation and before he knew it ... He was in a new world ... No where he'd seen before.

Irvam took a moment to assess the situation. He decided to find an inn, and so he entered the nearest building that resembled one. He watched another Dunmer carry a plate of food off to a private room, before seating himself in the corner, away from the other patrons, have masked in shadow.

Spoiler:

Just made some minor changes. My character is a Telvanni (his dad), with Dres links (his mum) and he studied in Telvanni for many years, being an assassin came later. He doesn't dislike Mages, in fact he's a fairly skilled one, although I guess he does have some issues relating to his past. Let's just say that he dislikes warriors the most of the three groups, especially brutish ones.

Thoryn took a moment to take in the city that lay around him. He decided to explore the main street, trying to pick out the buildings around him. He would need to find an inn for the night, but for now he was satisfied that he had time to have a look around.

He approached the nearest person on the street and began his inquiries.

"Excuse me," he began, "would you be able to point me to the major land marks of Grey Fall?"

Spoiler:

If it's not too much trouble, could you post a description of the city please. What style is it in, what kind of buildings are about? Plus maybe some directions to places of interest

[mcjordalini]

EDIT:

Spoiler:

Sorry for the time without a reply yet guys. ): I have been busy with school lol .. I will be back on tonight.

Edit: I will post a description of the city and directions yes. (: Give me a bit LOL. gotta' reply to all these posts. Gunna be a big post this next one ! Be prepared. xD

[mcjordalini]

Spoiler:

This is the description and directions of the city that OblivionDuruza has requested. Click Here for a map with a legend that I drew of the city as well.

A few of the heroes have been transported to Grey Fall, Thunder Valley already, while the others are still else where being held up.

The city of Grey Fall is shaped much like the Imperial City in Cyrodiil, only much smaller because it is on a small island. It has heavily influenced Dunmeri' architecture, and religious views. In the center of the city is the castle, surrounded by a circular wall to prevent any outside intrusion, and heavily guarded. The city is surrounded by water and walkways connect every section of the city.

The city is divided into four (five including the castle) sections. Each section serves it's own purpose. To the North of the Castle is Section A, where the inns, taverns, and restaurants are. Section B is to the East of the Castle, where all of the merchants are. This includes armour, spells, furniture, houses for sale, transportation, alchemy supplies, etc, etc. Section C is South of the castle, but North of the city gate, and this is where all the housing for citizens are. Houses are bought from merchants in Section B. West of the castle is Section D. Section D holds all of the guild halls and organizations. There are also meeting halls for groups of people that would like to hold a meeting to discuss whatever it is they must discuss. To the far South of the city there is the main city gate that lets travelers in, and keeps intruders out.

Spoiler:

McJ? Y U Mod my character?

"You b*stard!" Llela screamed. "Where in Oblivion am I?!? Let me go!"

Spoiler:

I didn't mod your character. D: How ? Also, be creative to get out of the Telvanni Mage hideout. ;D I enjoy reading action scenes

"Why would we tell you where we are ?" sneered one of the Telvanni mages.

Llandras opened the door and set the food on the table nearest to the bed. He began chewing on the Hound Meat and bread hungrily. He gobbled them up in only one minute. When he was finished, he began munching on the leek.

Llandras went to sleep after eating a delicious meal served to him by a wonderful innkeeper.

Spoiler:

Please do more with your character. It's hard to post back to that. Soon all the players will be in Grey Fall, and then you can all interact with each other.

"allright, my wife and I are ready to go.

"Ah, perfect." Mamvil excitingly said.

The two Khajiit followed Mamvil to a table in The Bloated Float Inn. The table that they sat at was already seating one person. This must be the captain that Mamvil was speaking of. I shouldn't make eye contact, thought Dar'Krin.

Mamvil began speaking to Captain Gorm about taking them to Thunder Valley. The captain seemed to be fine with it as Mamvil tossed a moderately sized bag on the table. It must have been full of Septims because when it landed, it jingled. Gorm took the bag, opened it, and peered inside. He gave a little smile and chuckle, and told Mamvil and the two Khajiit to go rent rooms to stay in, because it will be a long trip.

As it turns out Captain Gorm is the owner of The Bloated Float Inn, and the captain (who woulda' guessed hey ?). Gorm went up to the deck on top and began to set sale and mark their course to Thunder Valley.

Irvam took a moment to assess the situation. He decided to find an inn, and so he entered the nearest building that resembled one. He watched another Dunmer carry a plate of food off to a private room, before seating himself in the corner, away from the other patrons, have masked in shadow.

Irvam was confronted by a Dunmer women close to 5 minutes after sitting down. Irvam was confused,

"Who are you ?"

"I am your waitress silly." she said laughingly.

"Uh, alright ... I guess I will get whatever is the regular here."

"Alright, thank you." she said with a smile and walked away to wait on another table.

When Irvam got his food, he ate, rented a room, and slept for the night. He figured he might as well catch some sleep before figuring out this new city.

Thoryn took a moment to take in the city that lay around him. He decided to explore the main street, trying to pick out the buildings around him. He would need to find an inn for the night, but for now he was satisfied that he had time to have a look around.

The stranger turned around with a smile and laughed,

"Haha, of course I can young man." he said with a smile, "Here is a map of the city. Right now you're in Section C. This is where all of the citizen housing is located. You'll want to go straight North through the castle to get to Section A, which is where the inns are located. You could also take a detour and go either North East towards Section B where the merchants are placed, or North West towards Section D, which is where the guild halls are located. Good luck." and the old Dunmer walked away minding his own business as he was before.

"Thank you !" yelled Thoryn, trying to be kind back. "I guess I should make my decision where to go, as it is getting later by the minute.".

[Imp]

Dar'Krin asked Mamvil "Why did you say that I may not speak with our Captain, Gorm?" Ja'Krin was waiting at the counter to rent rooms.

"Thank you !" yelled Thoryn, trying to be kind back. "I guess I should make my decision where to go, as it is getting later by the minute."

Thoryn studied his map for a few moments, and decided to visit the Guilds Quarter, hoping to gather a picture of the organisations that the Thunder Valley was home to.

[ArgonianDunmer]

When Irvam awoke the next morning he decided to investigate the inn. He cast a detect life spell and snuck through the hallway, leading onto adjacent rooms. He stopped at the nearest and pulled out a pick and probe. After a few minutes fiddling with the lock it popped open and the door swung open. Lying on the bed was another Dunmer.

Why you do this?

Upon hearing the door pop open, Llandras quickly jumped from the bed and grabbed the dagger that he always put near the bed.

Irvam swung his dagger, aiming to knock the other Dunmer's blade from his hand and disarm him.
