Endris calmed himself slightly, until hearing Megil's words about dueling it out with Isaarin provoked him. He turned the sword, still laying on the table from smashing the glass, so the blade was facing Isaarin. Then Endris swung the sword along the table at the man hoping to catch him off guard.

He had paced until his feet were sore, but a memory did come to him. It was after he found the lute. He played... something. Ah yes, that song. The one he had been cursed to remember for some time now.
Then what?
Something happened. It was faint, but he felt it. The feeling of a warm, dry breeze drifting through him. After that... well... it was still too fuzzy. Either way, he was convinced something had entered him. Something terrible.
And the lights?
When he came to as the guards were on him, they were there. Yet, the guards didn't seem to notice them. Only he could see them. Where were they now? He felt he had another explanation for this one.
But that would mean he was very sick.

The Silhouette
The silhouette came to ald ruhn it would be easy work to capture three young men, but the silhouette decided that finding them all in one house would be easier so he could just recall back to the cave with all three. He worked his way into the town and found a bar. Once inside he could here the screams of the people inside as they saw the shadowy figure of the silhouette noislessly crept up the stairs. Three guards stood at the top ready to strike.
The silhouette jumped unworldly into the air above the guards heads. His sword came down decapitating two of them, the third only took a flick of his sword. Soon fifteen guards from outside and downstairs the bar came towards him. His sword was flicked around as if it was as light as paper killing anyone who came in contact with it. The bar was littered with ten dead guards, the rest he dispatched with magicka.
He broke into a room where five dunmer huddled in the corner, three were young men perfect for the task of of getting judd. The silhouette reached down towards them, while they trembled, out of a closet came a dunmer and he hit the silhouette in the side.
"You..." the silhouette interupted himself with a blast of magic which fried his assailant. He then grabbed the three men with a rope and killed the two dunmer woman. The silhouette said a recall spell and was soon in the cave with judd again
"Heres your dunmer" he hissed

Not too surprised by the man's sudden violence, one of Isaarin's guards raised his spear, more than enough to block a swing coming from the front. Isaarin then ducked away. "You've done yourself in now," he cackled, skipping his way around the table while both his guards moved in with their spears defensively.

"Good," Judd smiled, punching each of the three mer upside the head so they fell unconscious. He grabbed bits of cloth from what were his bandages and tied them up, then using his own blood he painted a triangle on the ground, with three lines from each corner going to the center. He laid one victim to rest at each corner.
"If you're weak of heart you won't want to watch this," he said. "And don't dare step inside the triangle." Slowly, the three mer came to just as he was finishing up. "Drink!" he said to each, cutting himself and dripping his hot blood down the throat of one of his victims. He traced his steps back to the center of the circle, and used his ceremonial knife, flinging it at the dunmer, killing him instantly. Wred repeated this with the other two, and suddenly the blood they spilled began flowing unnaturally toward the center of the triangle. As is touched Wred's feet, he felt himself being revived. His scars began fading away and his wounds closed up. His hungry belly filled itself, his muscles regained their strength, his wrinkles disappeared. He again looked like a twenty something man.
"Ahhhh," he sighed. "Now, your master..."

He went back into the cave "Master? no, i only work for him because i dream of more power than i obviously already have, but yes Miran, he is who i work with and do tasks for.

"You'll be lucky if that guard is the only thing you lose tonight, swit!" Endris yelled back to Isaarin. He saw the second guard's sudden movement to get behind him, so the thrust was easily predicted by Endris. He spun around, grabbed hold of the spear and pulled it past him hoping to throw the guard off balance.
Endris then turned his attention back to Isaarin--who was now hiding behind Megil. Almost instictively, he chardged towards the two men and swung his sword in a wide arc.
Endris' aim was not to kill Megil
and Isaarin (wouldn't that be a stroke of luck for Endris though?) but if Megil was skilled enough to even be bothered by Endris in the future, he would dodge the attack; leaving Isaarin open.

Isaarin tried to pull himself away from the leaping man but failed, getting tackled to the ground he struggled and cursed and made legal threats. Meanwhile his guard was back on feet and regained his spear. He checked his friend and found a pulse. By this time, Isaarin was back to his feet and Endris had gone invisible.
Isaarin quickly sifted through his pockets, trying his best to tune his ears in to see if he could hear Endris. He searched frantically before finally feeling the potion in his pocket. For a moment he hesitated. If he let the guard die, he could use that to either get Endris executed, or if Megil failed to act then an even better situation, he would be able to use that as a vehicle to push himself up politically. Hlaalu would become sympathized, mere victims in this mess. Still, there was a small problem and that was the invisible assassin who wanted to kill him. Isaarin shrugged and tossed the healing potion to his guard who opened it and poured it down the mouth of his fallen companion.
"I dare you," said Isaarin as he walked cautiously away from where he assumed the voice coming from, "You can't even begin to understand the pandoras box you would open if I died. There's a reason men like me don't try to kill the radicals after they reach a certain point of popularity. You have already screwed yourself. I could spin this in such a way that rioters would be breaking down your doors to kill you. I did it before. Remember the world would not be in the state it is right now if it were not for me.

"Consider this," said Isaarin. It was a ploy at this point. He realized something during Endris' last shpiel. Megil had his eyes fized on Endris. As long as isaarin knew what Megil was looking out, he would be able to stay away from Endris. "I live, and what is against you? Attempted murder? Assault? It would be an assassination attempt against me. My popularity would sky-rocket. If I die though, it would sky-rocket even higher, and not in the form of mere support, but in the form of hatred against you. You are a stupid person, Endris, I won't try to argue against that, but right now because of your impulsive behavior your facing either that House Hlaalu gains tons of support and The Morag Tong gets burned to the ground, or I live, and I gain tons of support and the Morag Tong continues to thrive with a slightly lower reputation.

As long as Endris continued interest in his conversation he would not strike. Isaarin was tempted to demand that Megil bring the criminal to justice, but that would only coax Endris into attacking. So, what could Isaarin do but continue his political debate.
"Devoted to Hlaalu? No. It would not be Hlaalu alone that would erupt in anger. I understand the mechanics of politics far too well to stick only to my most radical loyalists. In fact, to say it honestly, many Redoran citizens believe what I'm doing is good, but don't trust me; many Telvanni citizens think what I'm doing is good, but don't trust me; many of the Imperial loyalists think what I'm doing is bad, and don't trust me; many of the unpolarized population think I'm being arrogant but for a good cause. You see what this would do for me? I become the trusted. I gain support. This assassination would ripple through the channels of conversation. Even Ravvin, a man I know distrusts me and probably fears my ambition, even he understood that at heart my cause was a good one. Even he took up arms against the Imperials. That's right, Endris, currently I am the pinnacle of this movement. I am the fire starter. You kill me and people who never even thought they liked me will suddenly find themselves uniting with House Hlaalu, and not only will my ultimate goal finish itself but the Morag Tong will be flattened along the way. What is my goal? Well it's no different from yours or Megil's. I want a world where all three houses can survive peacefully, where the Morag Tong reforms to the honorable league it used to be; where the Mage's Guild and Fighter's Guild can work freely; where people can sleep at night without fear of mass murderers or incoming war. I want peace, and the sooner the other Houses trust me the sooner they'll stop crossing ethical lines to prepare for some war which will never actually occur. You kill me, and history has shown us the trust the population will have in me will sky-rocket. Willing to die? Yes, for my ideals, for my ultimate goal, for the world I dream of."
He planned his words carefully. He figured Endris would be as curious as anyone else on insight in his head. He figured the particular rhetoric he chose was fitting to sustain his life. Hell, for a large portion of it he was even telling the truth.

Endris--HojEndris listened carefully to Isaarin's speach the tow of them cirlcing around the room. Afterwords, Endris didn't know what to do. If he walked away, he left with a battered ego-- something Endris did not like to leave with. But he knew Isaarin's words were true, and that his death would most likely cause an uprising against the Morag Tong.
Then Endris decided his plan. He took a long, threatening stride toward Isaarin, leaped into the air and brought his sword down, aiming for the high shoulder, low neck area.
OOC: a skilled swordsmen would notice the blunt end of the blade is the one Endris is attacking with--meaning he wants to win the duel but will let isaarin live.

Stauros->balmoraStauros smiled, "well its a good thing they didn't change the town setup when they rebuild, the only reason it was destroyed was because it was a ssaulted by a dragon" Stauros snapped his mouth shut and looked down the road to see Delfran coming with three sacks over his shoulder.
Stauros waved and Delfran hurried up. "Well Dalrus this is my trusted friend Delfran, and Delfran, this is Dalrus, councillor(sp?) of Caldrea." Delfran bowed and handed Stauros his bag.
"So when are we leaving?"
Dalrus, Balmora
"Yes the town was reconstructed perfectly. OH hello delfran, nice to meet you. So in hlaalu what is your rank?"
Dalrus asked with a friendly smile.

Delfran and Stauros->balmora
Delfran shifted his weight, "Well i'm a hireling, I've just never asked for an advancement and Stauros and I are buddies soo..." His voice trailed of and Stauros stepped in
"He is pracically a house brother, but like he said he hasn't wished for a promotion. He specialises in Speechcraft, Mercantile, and a little security. But anyways, I think we can leave now, seeing as everyone is here."
