Tamrielic Adventures: Vol. 2

"To Cyrodiil. From there we'll go on to our final destination, which is not to be talked about until we are on open sea, where no prying ears can hear us," Raylis replied.

[The SheoDovah]

"When do you want us to meet you?" Psyfali asked Raylis as she yawned.

[Unionhack]

Vivec

Valentia nodded solemnly. So much for staying in Morrowind. Still, she knew that despite her intention to stay in Morrowind for some time, she really couldn't pass up the opportunity for high adventure. Such escapades would not only lead her to other historical finds, but they would also give her much needed experience.

She still considered staying behind, but decided to sleep on it.

"Alright. I understand." she said simply.

[MARS]

"You're not meeting me," Raylis said, "I'll come to you."

Suran

Llela closed her eyes for a moment, trying to decide whether she couldn't think straight past the jarring presence of her injury or if everything really genuinely was confusing.

Hidden:

Or if a quick skim of events wasn't enough. XD

Not that things hadn't been confusing ever since she had seen that poster in Cheydinhal...

[CBR JGWRR]

Suran.

Sunyail spoke. "Well, that is a..." he paused, carefully choosing his words. "...partial introduction. It will have to do I suppose."

he changed his subject to a question he felt most of their group would want to know.

"Presumably, you must know a bit more of the whereabouts of the rest of our group, the part that fled with Raylis? After all, a job like that must entail a certain level of semi-omniscience."

Maurzol continued to walk, letting out a sign. "Malacath would shun me for letting such a pup trail Maurzol.." Without ever batting an eye, he replied to the final statements "If your going to boot-lick.. better save it for something who giv's a damn." Orcs loved a good praise, but suckering up was a tool for the weak.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

Vivec

Ulysius attempted to sound shocked, "I wasn't sucking up Maurzol", he changed the topic though in fear of riling the orc, "Are you bored here? Not bored of me I mean, I mean bored of Vivec, there's nothing here worth taking or doing"

[BetaB17]

Vivec
"Vicec? Try this whole stinking province... not a damn good thing in this place.. not even the locals.. I'll rather gnaw off my own junk than stay here..." the Orc said, completely brushing over the fact he's lost in Morrowind with no clue how to return.

[MARS]

Suran/Wilderness
The small group had left the dead town, and was now walking down the same path that Raylis and everyone else had followed hours earlier.

"Raylis was supposed to take care of the job himself," the old Breton explained. Sinyail could notice a slightly bitter undertone in the man's voice, as if he weren't very pleased with the Dunmer's work. "We hadn't forseen this...debacle. I was in the temple on an entirely other matter. Luckily I recognized you and was able to persuade you to join the others. Then, I noticed that something had gone bad and immediately set out to gather the sleepers in this area and assess the situation, and now here we are. To get back to your original question, no there is no omniescence. We know what each other's goals are, but not much else. Our missions are highly unpredictable, therefore we leave planning to whoever is carrying out the mission. The only thing decided by the 'leaders' if you wish to refer to them as such is who takes up which task. Beyond that we have certain protocols that we follow when our paths cross, like just now. Raylis knew I was also in Suran, but didn't attempt to contact me for help. The protocol any of us would follow in his situation is simply the following: when there are complications we adapt and attempt to carry out the task as best as possible according to his own pre-determined plan. Raylis was clear-headed and experienced enough to do so; he placed his confidence in me to do what I could to clear up what he was forced to leave behind. He correctly assumed that I would come back here to scout the area and search for information on the attack. That information naturally included if you were dead, alive, or gone. If you were alive, I would of course do what I could to help the interests of the organization without straying from my task. It's quite fortunate for you that my task in Suran was ended by the untimely demise of...everyone. If it hadn't I would have had to send you on your way unaided."

Vivec, outside

"No more questions then?" Raylis asked, and looked around for anyone raising their hand or otherwise trying to get his attention.

edit:

Hidden:

I added a sheet for Raylis to the list of characters, in case anyone is interested in some compiled information about him.

[CBR JGWRR]

Not far from Suran.

Sinyail mulled over the words. "And of Raylis himself? Where is he headed now?"

[Unionhack]

Vivec

Valentia shook her head, ready to be inside.

Spoiler:

For some reason I pictured him as a girl almost this whole time.

[CBR JGWRR]

Hidden:

Who?

[The SheoDovah]

Entering Vivec. The Place not the god you filthy minded people.

Psyfalia shook her head as she yet again yawned. She knew she should get some sleep but did not want to risk having to wear the skooma stained robes to Cyrodill by sleeping as soon as possible. That and she literally had nothing else to wear other then the clothes under the robes.

[Archer]

Aenar shook his head as well. While he did want to enter the inn like the rest, it was less out of tiredness, though that did play a part, and more out of a desire to get a drink.

[Alarra]

Vivec
Niralie also shook her head in response to Raylis' question.
"I'm going to the inn," she said to Psyfalia. "If you're still planning going to the market, I'll write a list for you of the things I'll need." As Raylis answered the others' questions, she pulled a piece of paper and some charcoal out of her pack and wrote the list. It included a couple health, stamina, and magicka potions, a book about basic Alteration magic (assuming Psyfalia could find one), and a robe with her size indicated.
She was glad that she'd get the chance for a little rest.

[The SheoDovah]

Vivec

"I don't mind and i'm more then happy.." Psyfalia said before yawning in mid sentence. "to get the things for you." She said to Niralie and smiled at her. She didn't mind doing errands for people and liked helping others. She hoped that her body had enough energy left to be able to handle the shopping.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

Vivec

"I'd be happy to leave, as long as it's not Cyrodiil i'm going to", Ulysius continued, "Are Dunmer usually stuck up their own behind?"

[Velvet LeChance]

Arellius Afer III – Vivec.

Arellius similarly shook his head. He simply wanted to drink and then be to bed - with company, preferably, in both cases.

[The SheoDovah]

Vivec

Psyfalia let out a very long yawn and said "On second thoughts, i had better rest." She knew she had reached her limit and knew she would just collapse if she didn't rest soon. "Could one of you do me a big favour and get me some items?" She asked Valentia and Katien before yawning again.

[Unionhack]

Vivec

"What would you like?" Valentia asked.

[BetaB17]

The orc continued to walk around, passing by any shops in search of the cornerclub in the Foreign Quarter. He answered the imperial's question with a rhetorical way "Does a Khajiit chase it's own tail?"

Hidden:

Just in case some people need a map for reference, like myself

[Eltee]

Ascadian Isles (because Wilderness is for newbs)

"It'a funny how the better folk are at adventuring, the more it sounds like a day job when they describe it." Llela observed drowsily. She was on the edge of falling asleep, despite the uneven terrain the stretcher-bearers were traversing.

[The SheoDovah]

Vivec

"Green or blue robes. A few shirts and trousers that are very soft. Several rolls of blank parchment and an ink pot with a quill." Psyfalia told Valentia. "Thank you. Oh and a new leather satchel. Brown if you can find it. If not, just get me any you can find. This should cover it." The altmer told the woman as she got out a coinpurse with 500 septims in. "Feel free to use some for yourself and katien." She told her and gave her a smile. She brushed a few shard from the pouch of coins and was surprised it didn't stink of skooma although it did stink of all of her potions. Prehaps that covered up the smell. "Sorry about the smell." She added as she went to hand it to Valentia. She let out another yawn afterwards.

[MARS]

Outside Vivec

Raylis frowned at Psyfalia's over-the-top, in his eyes, shopping list, but said nothing. "Right then," he said instead. "To the foreign quarter. You can discuss further...shopping plans once we find a tavern. He lead them across the bridge and through a door. Their footsteps echoed off the beige walls as they walked, and the Ordinators all turned their masked faces towards them.

"Outlander!" one of the called at Raylis. The Dunmer didn't fail to pick up on the insult but kept his countenance. This was no time to be losing one's head. He simply stopped in his tracks and signaled for the others to do the same. "You have quite a few of your kind with you, outlander," the Ordinator continued. You could hear the pleasure he was drawing out of bullying foreigners in his gravely voice. "It seems suspicious to me...you all look very dirty, and you lead them like you're in charge. I think you're trouble."

Raylis opened his mouth to say something, but Sethesi shot past him and started speaking before he could. "Ordinator," she said. "The outlander is the one of us with the most outdoors experience, that is why he's going ahead. We're survivors from Suran. The town...it's been completely sacked. I don't know by who, but please. You have to leave us be. They will be here for less than a day. I vouch for them."

The Ordinator turned to his fellow native and remained in silence for a tortuously long time. "Very well," he said finally. "But remember," he turned to Raylis and the others. "We're watching you...scum."

"I think you'd better let me walk ahead, now" Sethesi whispered to Raylis, who didn't reply. He simply stood aside.

****

After a few minutes of walking, Sethesi seemed to have reached the destination she had in mind. A sign above the door identified the place as the Black Shalk Cornerclub.

"This is where our paths split," she said. I'll go shopping with you, Raylis and the others should get rooms. Then Raylis can look for that boat."

Raylis nodded affirmatively. He didn't seem to be enjoying not having the last word, but he had to admit that having Sethesi along would make things around the city a lot easier.


"DOES A KHAJIIT CHASE ITS OWN TAIL?"

Heads turned and wows were uttered as Maurzol and his sidekick strolled down the path towards the cornerclub.
