Tamrielic Adventures: Vol. 2

[The SheoDovah]

"I can try to help you to make them." Psyfalia said to Valentia. "But i doubt we have time to look for the ingredients." She said whilst looking at the ground below.

[Alarra]

Silt Strider Port

"Do you really think we're going to find all the ingredients in this little corner of the courtyard?" Niralie glanced frantically at the still-advancing troop. She knew that she and her friends would have to make up their minds quickly before the soldiers reached them. "Cliff racer plumes? What, is one going to swoop down here just for us?"

[MARS]

"She's right, we don't have the time," Raylis said. "They're almost here. We have to jump, now!"

He looked at the group, trying to judge who would be the most suited to go first. "Aenar," he finally said. "You said you would be willing to go first. Jump, then everyone with fragile equipment will start throwing it down to you. Quickly now, go!"

Hidden:

It's dawning on me that this situation is really, really stupid, lol.

[The SheoDovah]

"I hope not!" Psyfalia said. She had heard about the Cliffracer and did not fancy fighting one. She let out a resigned sigh after Raylis told the group to jump and waited for Aenar to jump first.

[Archer]

"Okay." Aenar shrugged as he stood by the ledge. By Shor, please let this work... he thought before he jumped, positioning his body to roll when it would hit the ground.

[Alarra]

Niralie began to walk up the steps to await her turn, though she wouldn't necessarily be next - she'd wait until the others determined it was the right time for her. She watched as Aenar jumped, and prayed that he would land safely. As he disappeared from sight, her gaze shifted to the other man standing on the edge, and her eyes narrowed. The Imperial mercenary seemed to be judging the distance of the fall. Though he had come with the group to the port after Raylis had ordered them to, he had not interacted with the rest of them. Niralie wondered whether he would have the audacity to try working with the group he'd just attacked in order to escape what appeared to be a mutual enemy.

[The SheoDovah]

Psyfalia watched as Aenar jumped and hoped that he would be okay. She hoped that she would be able to jump last and knew that she would have to throw her satchel down to Aenar, provided he didn't smash into the ground and die, which could resulted in her secret being revealed.

[JVElEven]

Inside

Alindrel had frightenedly refused to leave the building due to the proximity of the soldiers and was now hunched down beside the rest of the trappees, glancing from side to side.

"How long till they've gone?" she kept asking in hushed tones.

[MARS]

Inside

"No idea. It's possible that they'll come in here for us, too," Llevana said grimly. She still couldn't understand why the two High Elves hadn't left.

[The SheoDovah]

Hidden:

Mars, what about Aenar?

[MARS]

Hidden:

I'll get to it, no worries

Arellius Afer III - Outside

Arellius grunted a short oath as he watched the youth take the plunge, stepping towards the edge himself now. No move was made to glance to the others as he sheathed his two blades. He'd take his chances with gravity before he took his chances with the approaching troop, he'd already decided, and it was as Aener hit the ground that Arellius himself leaped, ignoring all and any outbursts from his new companions.

He'd aim for the spot the other man had hit, hoping his fall would be broken - or at the very leat lessened - by their impact.

[MARS]

Outside

Arellius seemingly hadn't calculated properly, as Aenar's roll was complete long before the Imperial touched the ground.

The young Nord felt a shock go through his body as he hit the ground, but he executed his roll well, and got away with a few bruises and aching bones. Arellius too, wasn't hurt too badly by the fall.

[The SheoDovah]

Psyfalia was surprised when the Imperial had jumped and relieved that Aenar wasn't injured by the fall. "I think me and Niralie may have a slight problem." She said to the others. "I can't roll and she will reopen her wound if she does that." She informed them.

[Unionhack]

Being a novice at alteration, Valentia casted a weak oakflesh spell on herself, observed the falls of both men, and took a deep breath. "Here we go..." she muttered, taking her leap and trying to execute a correct roll.

[MARS]

Outside

Like with the two men before her, the muddy ground slightly cushioned the Breton's fall. It still hurt, and she had the misfortune of rolling over a small rock with her shoulder. Apart from a scrape and a pounding ache in her bones, she remained unharmed. However, she had neglected to toss down her bag first, and so she had to find all of her potion bottles broken, her satchel oozing with the spilled contents.

[Unionhack]

Valentia hissed at both the pain and her stupidity in forgetting to take off her bag first, and quickly emptied the pocket containing her potions. Luckily her notes were protected.

[The SheoDovah]

Outside

Psyfalia looked down at the three that had jumped and knew that there was a very slim chance of her being able to roll and not snap her arm back into two. "Could you two catch me and Niralie?" She called down to the Imperial and the Nord.

[Velvet LeChance]

Arellius Afer III - Outside

Arellius gave a low guttural growl to himself as he scrambled to his feet, mud flaying up along his leather-clad back and legs. The damp, marshy land had broken his fall, but not to the extent the kid would've done - and it hurt. Disorientated, he shook his head, and then turned his gaze towards the few left to jump. It was as he caught sight of the distressed Elf that he suddenly came to a decision on his next move. He smiled, and opened his arms in a sort of semi-embrace.

"Jump down'n I'll catch ya," he shot back up.

[The SheoDovah]

"Why should we trust you?" Psyfalia called down to the Imperial in a very tired tone.

[MARS]

"Why shouldn't you?" Raylis snapped back. "There's no time for this foolishness. He has no reason not to catch you, just jump!"

The soldiers were dangerously close now.

[Velvet LeChance]

Arellius Afer III - Outside

Arellius shrugged. "'Kay then." He slowly began to close his outstretched arms. Have't yer way. Stay'p there wi'tha'troop."

He gave a mocking laugh at Raylis' chastising. 'Idiot.'

[The SheoDovah]

Psyfalia saw the troops getting closer and let out a sigh. She looked down at the imperial and called to the Imperial. "I'm going to jump. Try to avoid rebreaking my arm." She knew it was pointless chucking her satchel down due to everything already being broken in it. "Niralie should go next." She suggested to the group as she walked towards the edge. She stopped and took a step back before jumping off it.

[Velvet LeChance]

Arellius Afer III - Outside

'Why should I trust you?' Arellius thought menacingly, though re-opened his embrace deciding it would be best not to let the woman go crashing to the ground - he'd need friends until he reached the city.

[MARS]

The impact wasn't the most pleasant thing that either of the two parties had ever experienced, but other than a few additional bruises, they were fine. Psyfalia's potion bottles, however, broke as well, and some of the shards pricked at the High Elf's skin.

Meanwhile, the armored men had reached the port.

"Well, time for us to go!" Raylis said, and jumped. Unluckily for him, he didn't fall quite as smoothly as the others. He grimaced as he got up, clutching at his ankle. It wasn't broken, but it certainly hurt. There was no time, though

"Niralie!" he shouted. "Jump, now, I'll catch you!"
