The Battle for the East: A New War for Morrowind

[Gandalf]

Simon drew his sword. In a wordless scream of rage, he flew into the Argonians, a beacon of death and gore to all around.

So let's just skip all that afterduel crap and honor stuff that Moryenarn doesn't even normally do.

Silently, Moryenarn raised his hands and cast a spell. It was a long-range Telekinesis one, and one he liked.

Spoiler:

Is it okay, if the spell works (does it?) if I use it to pick up a piece of firewood and use that to smack an Argonian in the face?

[Frost Mage]

Verlyn quickly cast an Oakflesh spell on himself, and charged in with two flame spells in each hand.

[Jake-uh]

Vin followed along Ralvas, thoughts overwhelming him, he picked up his sped and made his way to Seras, he apprached him on his left side, decreasing speed until he matched his friend's.
He gave him a slight nod, along with an attempt at a smile. "Sera."

Unless I missed something major in the above posts, I don't believe Ralvas' group is the one entering combat.

[Jake-uh]

Spoiler:

Oh gosh, embarrasing, I believe I'm too battle ready. My apologies, I edited it, if you want to look at it again.

[ArgonianDunmer]

Irvam charged past the Argonian sentries, leaving them to the rest of the men. Instead, he charged into one of the smaller buildings, Steel Longsowrd drawn and brandished at the ready.

[Frost Mage]

Verlyn cast a Ward spell, just in case any of the lizards were smart enough to know any magic. He was unsure how to approach the situation.

[OblivionDuruza]

Verlyn was successful in casting his Shield spell, however, his Ward failed. Moryenarn's Telekinesis succeeded and he seized a burning log from the Argonian's campfire.

Irvam entered the command post of the encampment, stepping into the atrium. Before him was a makeshift office, to his right through a closed door, what he presumed to be a bedroom.

Meanwhile, the Argonian guards reacted, three charging at Duruza and his men, one drawing a bow and dropping back, firing at the Dunmer, and the other two running for the largest building in the encampment Barracks.

One of the Argonians engaged Simon, stabbing wildly with his spear. Another lunged at Verlyn, swinging his sword in a vicious arch. Duruza engaged the third as it was distracted as it blocked an arrow that had flown its way, cleaving its right arm off with a slash of his katana, he kicked the Argonian in the lower torso and as it reeled back, he swung his other katana, clipping the lizard's head from its shoulders. "Quickly," Duruza ordered, "After them."

[Believe]

Korzeth followed closely behind Duruza, making sure no harm came to his master.

At Duruza's command to chase the enemy, he sprinted forwards, narrowly dodging an arrow, and charged towards the Argonian archer.

Spoiler:

Terribly sad to have to admit this, seeing as I was one of those who refused to let the first one die, but I am too bogged down at the moment to participate further in Battle of the East, most of all because I am in no position to make sense in all of these posts right now.

Sorry, but I will have to back out and stay in the RPs I'm in right now.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

Belvyn rubbed two sticks together. As one of the sticks starting burning he blew on it to enlarge the flame. Once it got large enough he threw it onto the tent, "Alright, Vilof take your men and set fire to the other smaller tents and we can wait back where we got through".

By the time Vilof had set fire to the tents Belvyn was waiting at the hole in the wall where they got through, "Okay Vilof, nows when we wait", the argonian guards started throwing buckets of water on the tents, "Alright, we can stay here for now".

With that Belvyn whistled a birdish tune. Nothing happened for a few seconds, then the arrows were unleashed, it seemed like hundreds of arrows whistled through the air onto the unexpecting guards, all of them fell, "Good shots men", Belvyn shouted aloud, he started to shout louder, "Kraveth, do you think that you and your men could spot on aim at the main fight, and not hit any of the dunmer".

Belvyn waited a few seconds, but it seemed like an eternity, then a small voice came from the ridge behind the defences, "I think so", a bigger pause followed, "I know so".

Spoiler:

Anyone involved in the main fight, a lob of arrows are about to come your way, although the argonians are the ones that are being aimed at, don't be surprised if a wayward arrow heads your way

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

If I take an arrow to the knee, I am gonna be piiiissed.

Simon roared in rage, and swung his sword sideways, intending to cut the lizard in half.

Spoiler:

If I had a mace, I could have yelled "Simon smash!"

[Gideon Dragontongue]

With a battlecry of "For Morrowind!", Llavyn led his cavalry in a charge down the hill. They smashed through the wooden barriers on the eastern side and trampled a few of the tents within as well, startling several Argonians out.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

With that Belvyn ordered his men to fire, "Fire now Kraveth, Fire!", another lob of arrows flew over the heads of Vilof and Belvyn, one of Vilof's men ducked for the arrows, despite them being 20 foot above him. The arrows pin-cushioned the argonian side of the fighting, fortunately it looked like none of the arrows had strayed into the dunmeri fighters.

Belvyn nodded at Vilof, Vilof got up from his sitting position, "Alright men, some of us may not be from Morrowind, but it's time to show those argonians that when they mess with the Fighters' Guild, they mess with the best", Vilof walked onto the top of a rock, "Charge!", he pointed his axe towards the fighting.

Belvyn looked surprised as the Fighters' Guild charged into the combat with all the zeal of true fighters of Morrowind, "Alright Kraveth, it's best you don't keep on firing, i'll order you to join me if it is necessary", Belvyn then jumped down the ridges that separated the tents they had just burned from the main camp.

He ran head-long into the combat and hurled his spear at one of the lizards. The spear went straight through the argonian's chest. Belvyn ran past the lizard and ripped the spear out of his chest, before swinging it towards more foes.

Jaster drew his sword, as he squeezed through the hole in the gate. Before he knew it, one of the Lizards was on him. It was a fast one raining down blows on him at a lightning speed. It was allJjaster could do to parry the blows and prevent himself from being gutted. After a few seconds Jaster saw his chance. The Argonian had raised its hand for a downward blow. Jaster swung his sword with all his strength into the Lizards pommel. The creature squealed and its sword went clattering away to the side, but the blow left Jaster exposed. The lizard charged forward, bowling into Jaster and knocking him to the ground. Before he knew it his sword was also on the ground and the Lizard was on top of him, knife in hand. In hand-to-hand situations Jaster found that his feline agility served him well. he kicked out wards, knocking the Lizard backwards. before there was even time for it to react jaster had deftly picked up his sword and delivered a mighty slash to the Argonians throat. There was a spray of red and the lizard fell into a crumpled heap on the ground, making a disgusting gurgling noise.

Jaster stood stood and spat on the dying Argnonian. "That was for tear." he said, moving forward to find another foe.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Llavyn's guar leaped forwards, pouncing on a fleeing Argonian. With a ferocious snarl, it tore into the unfortunate lizard's back, dismembering it with rows of razor-sharp teeth, honed from years of eating meat. Llavyn laid about with his sword, cutting deep blows into Argonians both attacking and fleeing.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Moryenarn, upon seizing the burning log, attempted to set a building ablaze.

[Believe]

As Korzeth neared the Argonian archer, he narrowly avoided being hit with an arrow by rolling to his left. When he re-gained his feet he threw one of his Steel Knives at his enemy, but the Argonian dodged aswell, and the knife thudded into a nearby tree.

"Damn." Korzeth swore softly to himself, and then readied his shortsword and leapt at his enemy.

Spoiler:

Not too sure on whether I am allowed to DM my own combat? Otherwise the Argonian would be dead

[OblivionDuruza]

Simon dissected his Argonian foe with a decisive swipe, but another was already there to fill it's fallen comrades place, brandishing a cutlass viciously.

Belvyn's archers arrows cut down the remaining Argonians, as the alarm was raised and a number spilled out of the barracks, some still rubbing their sleep-weary eyes, grasping their weapons feebly as they mounted their defence. Meanwhile, the fire was beginning to spread, and Duruza cast a fireball at a nearby pile of firewood, which rested beside the barracks, this fireball, in combination with the fire spread by Belvyn's men and Moryenarn's own efforts saw the barracks set ablaze as even more Argonians spilled forth from it, as screams of anguish could be heard from within as more still were roasted alive.

Belvyn was soon set upon by a trio of Argonians, two wielding long spears of their own, another wielding a rusted battleaxe. Korzeth's foe engaged him, swinging his sword down towards the Dunmer in a terrifying arc.

Ralvas and his men reached Othrenis in the mid-morning and found the town as yet unharmed by their Argonian foes. The town was largely deserted, many of the residents having fled to the larger settlements of Almalexia and Ebonheart, or further still, but those that remained had gone to painstaking measures to fortify the area as bes tthey could.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

Belvyn jabbed his spear jabbed his spear at the argonian with the battleaxe, he didn't have time to notice whether he had hurt the lizard or not, and he dodged backwards, "Vilof, a little bit of trouble here".

[Deandra]

Elyna assumed there wouldn't be enough space in the town stables for all of the troop's mounts, so she rushed ahead to get a good space for her guar. She gave the ostler the reins, along with a coin and a threat, and carried her packs to an abandoned home. No use sleeping on the ground when there are perfectly good houses free for the taking, she thought as she unlocked the door with the help of alteration magic. She then made her way back to the group of soldiers in the middle of town.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Satisfied, Moryenarn nodded smugly, but he then he felt the spell wear off. Readying a Destruction spell, he scanned the area for loose Argonians he could try and incinerate. He spotted a straggler running away, and quickly fired a shock bolt from his hand to the Argonian's head.

[Pilaf The Defiler]

Seras walked through the narrow streets of the town, peering through the door of the smithy for any useful weapons or armor. Most of it had been ransacked by the fleeing population, but he did manage to find a functioning steel crossbow in the corner, with a small satchel of bolts in good condition. "Hmmm... been a while since my marksman classes, but this might be useful in the future."

He walked back out into the street towards Ralvas. "What's the plan for securing the perimeter, serjo?"

[Crepe the Ashlander]

Drathen approached Seras, "How could you steal from those that are fleeing?".
