Stauros->Vivec streets

Stauros started roaming the streets randomly and wihtout knowing it ended up at the Arena. Stauros looked up and sighed, "Damn old-habits." Stauros stood there for awhile and contemplated if it was really worth it. Eventually he turned around and walked off into an alley, unaware of the shadows lurking about.


ooc: yeah i'm bored so Minque I might have Stauros being dragged into your manor

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Ryyden? It has been awhile. The two youngest Mouths in Telvanni's history, and probably the most hated." she said with a wry smile.

"I take it you will attend the meeting later today?"

Ryyden, Sadrith Mora



"Why of course. Yes i suppose we were hated, all those old timers were pretty grumpy i'd say. As a matter of fact i think they accused you of arguing with Ambrose, and since she was a councilor they nearly had us both beaten. So leader of Telvanni now? You've risen high quite fast." he said with a smile




Aryon, Sadrith Mora


Aryon landed on board a small boat in the busy Sadrith Mora harbor. He walked along the path into the city, and was greeted by cheers. He stopped in the gateway and took up residence. And walked over to Amili...

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"I'd forgotten about that." Amili admitted. "And Ambrose is now a -" she stopped as Master Aryon came nearer.

"Master Aryon." he said with a small curtsy. "I trust your travel was enjoyable?"

If I had known that news of my coming here travelled so fast, I would have said something about a council meeting earlier.

Aryon, Sadrith Mora




"Yes quite enjoyable, besides a little sea sickness. That small boat does not give me any support, thoug it was nothign a potion couldnt fix." he said with a smilee. "So is everyone here or are we sill missing Dratha?"



Ryyden, Sadrith Mora



"Hello Aryon, it is good to see you. Now Ambrose is a what?" He said with curiosity. "I thought she was dead. She is dead right?" he said with concern

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"I don't know where Dratha is." Amili admitted. "And I'm assuming Fyr will send his Mouth. Again." she said to Aryon before turning back to Ryyden.

"Ambrose is a Hlaalu. She goes by another name...I believe that someone around her called her "Dalrus."

Akar, New Vivec

He and Miles could find no sign of the archer, so he invited Miles to the manor before walking back inside where Dimitre and the others were.

"Is he alright?" he asked, sheathing his sword.

Serene,NV

Serene opened the journal she found on Dimitre and started reading......


Therana, Sadrith Mora

She knocked on Dratha´s door, and entered. The older telvanni was just getting ready to go out but smiled anyway....

"So Therana, what brings you here, it must be something important, because I don´t think it´s my divine beauty " Dratha chuckled

"Hmm....please, do not make this into a joke, Amili is calling a council-meeting today and I was thinking that you and I should kind of stick together.....I think Amili is very skilled and a good leader but she is a dangerous woman and I fear that she has something in her mind which I won´t like!" Therana sat down on a bench, sighing

"Amili?" Dratha smiled again, " That extraordinary woman! Oh how I would like to spend the night with her! She has got this amazing body......mmmmmm"

"Please!!!! compose yourself Dratha!, You may live your life, I respect your right to do it, but please.....I don´+t wanna hear more!"

"Hmmm, you always were a sour one Threrana, you know that! If you......" Drathe stopped. "Let´s get ready then" she said


The two ladies went out and headed towards the council-hall, where Amili waited with the already arrived councillors.

"God day to you all" Therana said

Ryyden and Aryon, Sadrith Mora




"Good day to you ladies" said Aryon politely.

"Dalrus is a Hlaalu!?" Yelled Ryyden, "Why would she turn to the Redorans? Are we really that bad?" Ryyden yelled

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"We can be, as Dalrus will soon see." Amili said coldly before the two other councillors approached.

"Hello, Therana, Dratha. Sorry for such abruptness, but I must go see to something. Can you all meet me in the council chambers in an hour for the meeting? I have some business to attend to first."

Therana and Dratha, Sadrith Mora

"Now what is she up to?...have to be really careful here"

"Oh yes Amili" Therana smiled, but her eyes were darker red than ever

Dratha just gave Amili a very lustful look.....slowly licking her lips

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Alright, see you then." she said, feeling two different kinds of awkward under the women's stares.

She went to her quarters in the Gateway Inn to write a letter. She needed to write something to Fyr, pleaading with him to do something. If he didn't, he would have to be removed from the House. Maybe she would give Virk his tower; that way two problems would be eliminated with Fyr gone and Virk far away. If Fyr would somehow cooperate, though, there would be no need for any such action. She hoped that would be the case.

Councillor Fyr,

I regret to inform you that the House is of the belief that you are not contibuting enough to the House. We realize that you have no love for our meetings or struggles, but please, at least find something to do to help. We are about to be at war, and we cannot have any weak links in these troubling times.

Amili.

Her letter finished, she gave it to a messenger before heading to the council chambers. Now was the time to formally announce Redoran's treachery and declare war.

She sat in her place in the chamber a few minutes early, waiting for the councillors to attend.

OOC: Who´s controlling Fyr??

Therana and Dratha, Sadrith Mora

The two telvanni ladies entered the council hall arm in arm, looking sternly at Amili, sat down and just stared at her.....their looks were not particularly friendly.....except Dratha was constantly licking her lips watching Amili....and she was not looking at her face....

OOC: I guess I will. He won't be a big part anyway, so it's no big deal.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

Have they forged an alliance against me? I would think so, but for Dratha's stares...maybe Therana is still persauding her...no matter; I still have Aryon and Ryyden with me.

"Hello, ladies." She greeted, but she was still deep in thought.

Why would Thearana be against me? Did I do something, or does she just want my position?

Therana, Sadrith Mora

"She thinks I´m a lunatic.....very well....I´ll keep an eye on her, let her sweat a bit....make her think i might be against her.....which I´m not of course..hehe"

Therana did not say anything, she just smiled and nodded at Amili.......not unfriendly..just ...watchfully


"Hallo Amili, nice outfit you´re wearing" Dratha´s voice was thick with lust

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Erm...thank you..." Amili replied, hoping that the others would come pretty soon. This was getting tense; one person wanting her, one seemingly wanting her dead...

She looked down to see smoke rising from her clenched fist. She immediately dispelled the magic, as her hand was getting quite hot.

Therana, Sadrith Mora

She noticed the smoke emerging from Amili´s fist and smiled inside..

"So the mighty Amili is nervous.....that is indeed amusing!"

"So dear Amili what are we going to discuss? And where are the other councillors? I thought Master Aryon would be here!" Therana´s voice was soft and sounded friendly but .....


Dratha, SM

It was almost unbearable to sit here watching that gorgeous woman and not being able to seduce her.....Amili really was something special and Dratha only wished they were alone so she could make a move.....

Stauros->Vivec

Saturos walked for awhile then stopped, and looked around him. "Damn." He muttered as he saw shadows try and avoid his gaze. Stauros thought of his armor, which was back at Serene's house, he forgot to put it on when he left. He felt his pockets and found the strange dagger Delfran handed him a whileago.

"Well, I wanted to know what this did anyways." At that moment a mugger lunged at Staros but Stauros slashed the blade up and cut the would-be mugger up the chest. The thug was paralizedand landed with a thud, eyes moving about nervously. There was a grunt and this time two muggers went for Stauros. One with a short sword tried to disarm Stauros, while the other with a knife went in for his chest. Stauros tossed some dirt in the shortsword mugger's eyes and parried the knife and cut the man's arm and heard the clatter of the knife hit the cobblestone ground.

Stauros felt a sharp pain in his leg and remembered about the other one, "So you like playing dirty?" Starous crouched down to grabbed the fallen dagger and came back up facing tward the bandit. Stauros smiled and the bandit took a step back. Stauros advanced and disarmed the thug and the it started to runaway. Stauros tossed the fallen mugger's knife at him and he fell a moment later.

The other would-be muggers and theives left the place and Stauros turned to the two wounded bandits. Stauros crouched down to the first one and checked his pulse.

"Hmm dead, So this has a nice paralize and poison enchantment." Stauros stripped the bodies of anythin of value, which wasn't much and limped to the end of the alley and headed to Serene's manor, werever that was from here.

ooc:yep I was bored

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Therana, please calm down and be patient; they are men after all, and are prone to being late. I will not proceed until they are here." she said, getting frustrated with this game.

She was no longer nervous, though; if Therana tried anything, Amili was fairly certain that Dratha would intervene, and she herself was not so helpless. Another unfortunate side-effect of any kind of stunt from Therana would be a small war between Tel Branora and the other Telvanni towns, once the townsfolk heard the news and decided to join the quarrel of their respective leaders.

Ryyden, and Aryon, Council hall




Ryyden and Aryon walked in talking of their former masters. Aryon laughed at the excentric antics of Ryydens former master.

"Sorry we are late, i needed some comberry before we started" smiled Ryyden.

Aryon sat quietly off a little ways in the corner.

"Alright i have heard the news from Aryon that Redoran has sent troops against us. I have the biggest army here, let me head the attack. I will want either you, or Aryon to fight along side me. I will under no circumstances work with that sexist" he pointed at Dratha.

Therana, SM

Therana chuckled....

"Oh how right on spot!, men are always late"

She sat hearing what Ryyden said......when he said that about Drathe being a sexist, she quickly turned to her friend, anxious of how she would react.....

Then she leaned back, curious about Amili´s answer

Dratha, SM

Drathe raised one eyebrow......she did not even consider replying to such an insult...it was beyond her pride to do so, but she remembered those words.....

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"You won't work with me or Aryon, but you won't be working with Dratha either." Amili said after thinking his proposal through. "You'll work with Therana."

She needed Aryon to be the dimplomat in New Vivec when the Redorans began to ask questions, she needed herself in Sadrith Mora to oversee everything, not just a single attack, and she needed Therana and Dratha separated. She decided that she would rather have Dratha close by than Therana, so her decision was made.

"We won't start a war yet, though. I have other news that may lighten your spirits. I have taken the Morag Tong in, and they are now solely a part of House Telvanni. I will have them lead the attack with a strategic assassination before I wil have your soldiers running blindly into Ald'ruhn."

Ryyden, Council hall



"As always Amili you have the wisest decisions. Therana, i do not have a problem with you unless it benifits me and will be glad to have even what little help your troops can provide. Though Amili if we could get Hlaalu on our team that would help as well." he said contemplating. "Never mind Dalrus is there. However when i lead the attack am i too believe that Endris's men have done the job, or will you send word first?"

Aryon continued looking at all the goings on around him. He had never been one to get caught up in the problems amongst the house, but an idea hit him.

"What about Baladas Demveni? Couldn't we ask him to hand Gnisis into our hands? It could easily be used as a base for our troops" he said calmly

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"We are going to prepare ourselves before we even begin thinking of attack plans. I need all of you to put your enchanters to work making summoning scrolls, Wizards' Staves, and whatever else you deem necessary, I need to have the tower here in Sadrith Mora at least defensible if not complete, I need some sort of navy, there are many things that need to be done before we start this war, and I cannot think of a one the Melkaan has done to make my job any easier." she said to Ryyden before Aryon cut in with his idea.

"I thought he was dead." she said, "But I'll send a messenger to him; I want nothing else spoken of this until I bring it up. This has to keep secret."

If they could take Gnisis, it could serve as aa factory for them. She could have ships built on the river where they could easily be put into the open sea, she could have enchanters sent there, and with a few soldiers to guard it, it would be highly defensible, and the other houses would have no idea that they were preparing for war...

OOC: Baladas is a very good friend of Serene! just so you know!



Therana, SM

"Hm...I´ll work with you Ryyden..or Amili....we are Telvanni arent´t we, we should stick together......but..Baladas is not to be trusted I think....now what abbout that rumour I heard of an ashlander woman deserting to us? Is it a fairy tale or what?"


Dratha,SM

"Amili.....I.....I´ll stick with you......Your command is my law"

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"The ashlander woman came to Master Aryon and told of how Redoran is helping ashlanders; have you been paying attention, Therana? Anyway, what's this about Baladas not being trustworthy?"

Therana,SM

Therana snorted.....

"always trying to be a big girl--lecturing me, who could be her granny"

"After what I´ve heard, Baladas has got close connections with the Redorans....it´s that wretched mage....they are friends as far as I´ve heard....but there might be a solution to that too!"

Therana chuckled......


"Hah....they don´t know what I know...Arcyakt told me long ago....hehehehe"

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"You mean Serene? What do you propose?"

Therana, SM

"Serene...yes....darn it, she knows of her..but she might not know the weakness of....of that Mage-witch....oh this is gonna be fun....I just wish Dratha wouldn´t look at her that way..it´s disgusting!"

"Hmmm..yes..I believe that´s her name yes......after what I know she´s got a son that she thinks the world of....he´s a nice guy they say.....now if we managed to put a spell on him.....so we could convince him to convert to us...hehe.....then we could trade....him against the loyalty of Baladas...muhahahaha"

Therana laughed maniacally

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"You mean like a charm spell." Amili said. "That would most certainly work, and could even keep the Redorans at bay for quite some time, if Serene has any influence in the House. So we buy Baladas' loyalty, as well as Serene's... I like the way you think, Therana." she said with a smile.

Therana, SM

"Now this is most satisfying..you and I on the same side Amili!...who shall execute this delicate task of charming the Mage´s son?"

Therana looked around to see the reactions of the other councillors...then she noticed Dratha, rising to her feet , face distorted with anger..

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Is there something wrong, Dratha, or are you volunteering?" Amili asked, confused by her rage.

Ryyden, Sadrith Mora




"Do you really think so little of master Demvenni? He has many loyalties towards our house, and a friendship wouldn't change that. We should have master Aryon write a note to him, that would work." he looked at Dratha and gave her a reassuring glance, letting her know she was against the plan as well.

"I Could write a letter, and it does not have nearly as many holes in it as this 'charming of Seren's son' does. Maybe we could get that ashlander deserter to deliver us the erebnimsum to us first. Im sure their chief would chase her and lead the tribe, to where we could single handedly kill them tribe by tribe"

Dratha, SM

"You fool!, don´t you understand? Therana is right! Baladas Demnevanni is a very close friend of Serene.....a note will not convince him..but I can assure you Serene could do it, that witch has more powers than you can imagine!......"

She looked at Amili........with sad eyes


"But I´m sure the witches´ son will be appalled by you Amili.....who wouldn´t be?"


Therana, SM

"So....are we agreed?" She did not pay attention to Ryyden.....she knew where the real powers were....Amili was the boss......so better stick with her.....for now!

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"I'm afraid we will have to go through with charming Serene's son. While Baladas could be loyal, we can't take chances with something like this."

"So you'll do it, Dratha?"

Dratha, SM

"Me??? charming a......man?.....it´s just not possible....Therana could do it"

Dratha shivered......she did not want to have anything to do with men...


Therana, SM

"I could try" she said in the most friendliest voice she could come up with


"Yes....let me do it....I´ll cast a spell that he´ll never get over hehehe"

Ryyden, Sadrith Mora



"It is time's like these that we would have used Dalrus, she wouldn't even need the spell." Ryyden said laughing. He now knew that if the war ended and Telvanni beat redoran who his enemy would be. He would laugh at the sight of Tel Branora burning. His legions would destroy the people. When his eyes were set upon Tel Mora, he'd let his men do what they would with the all woman population. He had now made enemies with these two woman. However he respected Amili greatly, and would only do this after things calmed down and the Telvanni could return to fighting eachother.

Aryon was not angry about the plan, but then again he was rarely angry. He stood there waiting for the meeting to end. This large base politics did not suit him, all he wanted was to make Vos safe. However to do this he had to deal with his comrades.


OOC: Serene, Dratha loooooved Dalrus, since Dalrus is one of the most breath takingly beautiful people on the continent. So when Ryyden mentions this, she would most likely be very mad that he brought up the fact that she left

OOC: maybe Dratha didn't like dalrus for personality reasons? You never know...
Amili, Sadrith Mora

She didn't make any sort of remark concerning Dalrus; that was a topic for later discussion.

"Alright then, Therana. I'll give that job over to you. YOu and MAster Aryon can travel together to New Vivec. Aryon is to be Telvanni's diplomat, and what better place to find Serene's son than with Serene? She was last seen in New Vivec."

"Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"

Dratha, SM

"Dalrus?....not here?..." Dratha turned away....

"Why do they all disappear on me?"

She sat down saying nothing, bowed her head..


Therana, SM

"Ok I will do my very best, so Master Aryon, when are we leaving? But please, who is that ashlander? the deserter.....wonder if she knows Sedrane Mirpal.....that cocky ashkan who caused a lot of trouble"

Amili, Sadrith Mora

Amili noted Dratha's reaaction, and wasn't pleased. When the time came to deal with Dalrus, she could be a problem. Unless Dratha's sadness could be turned into anger...

Aryon, Sadrith Mora



"Well i suppose we should leave later today, since Redoran troops are most likely on the move. And as for Yurna i brought her with me, so we can go talk to her at the gate way right now if you want" he said standing up



Dalrus, Caldera



Dalrus and the force reached Caldera, and saw the huge tower that was coming out of the Govenor's hall. She took out three soul gems, filled with three very powerful enemies, Moldair, and a sylph in one of them. She had put soul trap on them, and when the tree fought a group of three syphs they all fell, giving her the souls. She gave them to the engineer, and the tower now had its magical enemies.

Hla(Tel) Ambrose arose. She stood near it looking up, it was a little taller then her former tower, which had been Telvanni's highest, and she was content with it. Now all that she needed to do was contact Baladas, and further gain allies. She had always been friends with him, and now that her and Serene were friends, she wanted to bring Gnisis and Caldera into closer relations.

New Vivec

Attention Citizens of New Vivec:

A public council will be held the day after tomorrow at the Hall of Justices Council Chamber. The council is being held in regard to recent events that have ocurred in the city. If you have any question or Concerns we encourage your participation.

Your Faithful Servant,

Lord Megil Tel'Zeke

Flyers were posted and distributed throughout New Vivec.

Akar, New Vivec

Akar left the house after knowing that Dimitre was alright, both to get fresh air, and hopefully to find the archer.

Instead, he found a dunmer boy posting a flyer on a post.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Read it yourself, half-breed."

Shaking his head at how rude small children could be, he read the flyer. He would probably go, if only to figure out what the battle he had just missed was about, and maybe there would some clue asto Dimitre's attacker...

Stauros->New Vivec

Stauros continued his way to Serene's manor when he saw someone just walkout. Stauros approched the man, "Hello, is Serene home?"

Stauros then saw the paper in his hand and a messanger boy starting to walk away and grabbed a sheet without him noticing. "Hmm whats this?"

Akar, New Vivec

This man was asking about his mother...he feared that maybe this man was the same one that had hurt Dimitre. MAybe it was a bad shot and he was coming to correct the mistake? Anyone asking for someone in that house this soon after an attack was suspicious to say the least.

"Why do you want to know?" he asked, ready to draw his sword at a moment's notice.

Florodine, New Vivec



Florodine had been sitting around doing nothing for too long. He only needed some bad doing, something that he could call a crusade and march against. He wanted to bring glory to his city. He noticed a flyer up and read it. He would go to the meeting, he was obligated to, as New Vivec's biggest ally.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Therana, once you have the boy, make sure you come back here with him." she said.

"Unless anyone has anything else to say, I'd say this meeting is over."

Ryyden, Council hall



"Yes i agree, we should all get to our posts though. Dratha send your troops to a more forward position, to Uviriths grave. My men will join you there once we get word from Amili here that we can march on the ashlanders. Of course that might involve Yurna.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"No! We will not be putting troops in attack positions right now. I want to be fully prepared before starting a war. Once we get Gnisis through Serene's little boy, and make a few preparations, then we can speak of the placement of our soldiers." She said.

Did these people listen at all?

OOC: I have to stall for AKi's lack of presence right now

Ryyden, Council hall




OOC: Yeah im just trying to make Ryyden the stereotypical SOB telvanni councilor.


"Very well, though i think they should be ready right away just in case. Dratha you can stay where you are i suppose. Now how am i going to infiltrate her city with assasins? However come out as soon as word is sent that attack should begin." Ryyden looked over at Therana and Aryon who were preparing to leave. [I]If only Tel Branora wasn't so far away from the rest of the country.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

"Anything else, before we finish?" she asked.
