Brianna, cave
With a thud the body of a man almost fell right upon Brianna as she was resting against the wall. Just in the very last minute she managed to flung herself aside to avoid getting crushed by......
"Arygon!!" Brianna yelled, " What are you doing here?"
She crawled to her feet and stood panting beside the rugged wall....
"We gotta get out of her.....now..immediately, this place is not safe anymore!"

Breton; Lainlalten
The Breton let out a malicious laugh, "Excellent. They are headed here, according to a source of mine. If you want, you can head North and meet them, however I suggest waiting here for them. They will all surely be tired, and will more than likely go there own ways for a while once they get here to rest up, buy supplies, you know the deal. If you like, I have arranged for a safehouse to be set up for you, but otherwise I will allow you to go with however you see fit, so long as the woman and her child die.
"Her name is Brianna Sarethi and as I mentioned she is a Dunmeri Imperial halfbreed. Carries a bow, dagger. A thing for you to watch out for however; she is an alchemist of sorts and a healer. I hear your poisons are effective, but be careful. As for those traveling with her, last I heard from my contact she was with a group of people amounting to about seven ot so. The rest is up to you... Any questions?"

Hecate
"Alchemist aye? Would be rather smart to wait with the toxins then, I have one poison. A poison I got from the land of the Argonians, from the swamp there was this creature with a poison worse than all mine together... I have it with me, incase" Hecated replied to the Breton.
"Hopefully they will rest tonight, I'll lurk in the shadows as they will enter the town and hopefully manage to take them out in a crowded place, since the more people the better for me when outnumbered, I have a couple of tactics in mind. No safehouse is needed either, it will be better not to have any... So what happens when the job is done?" Hecate questioned, eeger to get to work...
Arygon turned, brianna was just to the side of where he had landed, "Sorry." Then he noticed Ethsier who had returned from... where-ever. "Ummm.. Ethsier, do you have my Dwemer-Shortsword... it's been missing since you left..." Arygon looked around, everyone but the vampire was there... except Flint...
The old man smiled, withdrawing a worn box from within his cloak.
"I thought you would ask about that." he told the man, grinning wickedly.
He opened the box, and inside was a pile of dust.
"The sands of time my friend, reduce all back from whence we came." he said, passing the box to the man.
"I thought you would ask about that." he told the man, grinning wickedly.
He opened the box, and inside was a pile of dust.

Arygon stared down at the box of dust which had been Dwemer at one point. "Ah, well I'll reasearch the Earth-Bones later and have this fixed by Yagrum back in Morrowind..."
Deagan, Cave
Deagan looked to the old man as he made himself known. After a few seconds he realized who it was, his old friend Esethir. His former friend stood before him, his body was old and withered now. As he listened to the words the old man spoke it was clear that the body was Esethir's but it was like his mind was different, like they'd been separated for years.
80 years? How?
"My friend...what has happened to you?" Deagan asked as he stood, looking at Esethir
"You've been gone little more than a day...yet you've changed so much..." He added
The confusion was clear upon his face, his young companion Esethir was no more, an older and much more experienced looking man had replaced him.

Sadril; In a Cave
Sadril emerged from the shadows of the back of the cave, slipping a yellow amulet into his pocket. He was feeling a bit better after he had rested in the darkness, but upon all of the commotion he sided with Brianna, "I agree, we should get going. This place isn't a secret anymore," he said, glaring at Arygon, "Lainlalten shouldn't be much farther now."

Brianna, cave
Brianna looked curiously at Sadril....the vampire agreed with her....well that was odd but not totally unpleasant.....now she had heard stories about vampires who were kinda nice..or at least not just evil.
She immediately started gathering her things, the coat, the pouch and her bow and dagger. Checking her belongings..all was there, scrolls, potions.....mmmm good.
" Shall we?" Brianna looked outside to see if the coast was clear. It was....they could get out and head towards Lainlalten
"Lainlalten? Why am I all of a sudden scared of going there? What will await for me there? "

Arygon looked up from his box of Dwemer dust, "Well, if were going to Lainlalten then I know a good inn." Arygon decided to set up his set of equipment at the inn when they got there. He would have to ask Yagrum to find out more about Earth-Bones and thier properties, as so he could create a time-proof weapon.
Rahvin
Rahvin stood up and handed Brianna her coat back. With one last mournful glance back at his comfortable spot, he walked a short way out of the cave. Why was he even going with them?
I don't want to be with any of these people; Esethir shows up eighty years older, Arygon annoys the hell out of me, Brianna is, well, pregnant, Sadril's motives are more than questionable, Deagan never ceases to bring up my prisoner status, I've never even heard Ranes say a word before a minute ago...I always get stuck with the weird ones. he thought up something he hated for each person, and still decided to go with them.
Maybe they aren't too bad...

Esethir, cave
"Haha!" Esethir laughed aloud. "I would rather not speak of it, lest the Daedra strike me down. But I have not been on the mortal plane for a long time."
He looked around at the group. "I have been told your futures...every one of you. I now understand we merely tread a path given to us by the Daedra - and I shall not ruin the 'surprises' you will face." he stood somberely.
"I have lived through this journey once through my dreams, and we should get going now before the bears return." he told them. A loud scuffling was audible a few yards from the mouth of the cave.
"We should go now, so we can prove ourselves against the evil tracking us."

Brianna, cave
She was ready to leave. The old man who arrived last said some very sensible words...and she felt that they should listen to him.
Rahvin puzzled her....he came to bring death....but somehow did not do it...
"He keeps avoiding getting close to me.....why? We both saved each others life....I donīt understand it. He knows about the baby.....but thatīs no reason to act weird....and Deagan....I know he killed Jad....but thatīs history now....I do like these guys.....in some way, but I donīt know why. It feels like my future is dependant on them.....then again ...the old man knows, but i dare not ask him about my future or the future of my unborn child!"
When she heard the noise from outside......she went to the door urging the others to follow

Telina, Teh cavezorz
Telina, who had accepted Briannas answeer why the other guy's was with them. listened carefully to the old man. So he knew the future of each and everyone of them, even as much as Telina wanted to know her future, she felt that it was best not to know it...it could lead her into some heavy aspect of paranoia.
"Ok..."she wispered, "I think we should go silently, and for Azura's sake, let's cover our tracks good ok".
Telina took up her bow, and placed an arrow on it, just to be ready. She had a bad feeling when she wwas walking towards the hidden entrance of the cave...a bad feeling of someone wanting to hurt Brianna...but that would never happen, not if Telina had something to say about it.
OOC:Let's get out of this cave, mkay.

Arygon looked around at everyone getting ready to leave, he jumped out of the hole he had made falling through the roof, and landed in front of the small exit-hole that Brianna was exiting from...
Rahvin
Rahvin stood, listening to Esethir speak, and somehow keeping his hysterical laughter inside.
That's the biggest load I've ever heard; sure something odd happened to him, but he's no god.
He smiled at Esethir as if they had some hidden joke before speaking to the others. "So are we leaving or not? If not, I'll just go back in the cave and get some sleep..."

Brianna
"He doesnīt believe him..he doesnīt even like him it seems! Rahvin thinks itīs all crap what the old man said"
Brianna did not reveal that she "heard" Rahvin think, the gift of reading minds did never do her mother any good, so Brianna never told anyone that she also had it.
This time it made her hesitate just a bit....."What if itīs true? I did have that premonition....maybe ....."
"Ok...letīs get out of here then" Brianna went out of the cave, and started walking downhill to the winding path below, leading to Lainlalten.....she didnīt bother to see if the others were following..she just assumed they would.
Deagan, with teh others
Deagan looked strangely at Esethir.
Perhaps the gods have played too many tricks with his mind...he seems to be a little out of it...
He saw Brianna leave the cave and honestly, he wondered why he was still with all these people. There was no purpose for him to stay with them, nor was there any reason for Rahvin to stay with them...perhaps their reasons were the same and neither one knew.
He tried not to keep that thought in his mind for too long as he did not like to be confused, instead he shifted his attention back to Brianna and followed her down the path, pushing past anyone in the way of the entrance of the cavern.
Why is it that Brianna trusts us? She knows one of us killed Jadier...but does she know which one?
He pulled the hood over his head and walked on behind her.
Why am I with these people? Part of them are witnesses to Jadier's death...they could get me into a lot of trouble...but something tells me to stay with them, and I will not deny my instincts no matter how much I fail to understand them.

Rahvin
His question was answered, if through actions instead of words. He sighed and fell in line with Brianna and Deagan, still laughing at Esethir, and still ignoring whatever it was that had made those noises nearby...
"I could do with some hot soup and a nap." he mumbled to no one in particular.

Brianna
Brianna hadnīt told them that she in fact did know who killed Jadier....she thought it would be for the best..otherwise their relations would be even worse, and she had a distinct feeling that they better stick together....They would encounter much more evil than they had so far.....she just knew it!
Anyway...the assassination of Jadier was ordered from somewhere else..presumably by Agnar....so really, these men were just tools....and thus not to be judged. Besides....a couple of natural born killers could come in handy later on!
"They took my safety away from me.....now they must protect me"
Brianna was aware of both Deagan nd Rahvin following her....Rahvin muttered something about food and sleep....Brianna smiled, besides fighting and making love, food and sleep were menīs main interests!
She smiled, and tossed a small ceramic jar at Rahvin;
"Soup, Mister.....the sleep you have to fix yourself, ask the vamp to carry you on his shoulders, heīs strong!"
Brianna laughed..she felt oddly cheerful.......

Sadril; Walking
Sadril jogged out of the cave to catch up with Brianna and the two assassins. He positioned himself in front of Rahvin and kneeled down, looking back at him, "Poor little Rahvy wanna go for a ride on Sadril's back?" He asked mockingly before breaking out into laughter and continued walking.
As they moved down the path, Sadril eyed Brianna from behind. Something strange about her... I wonder if this feeling has anythi-- He cut his thoughts off. Centuries of living had taught him a great deal about some people's hidden techniques, and he had learned the hard way to guard his thoughts well. Sadril was unsure of Brianna, but something definitely set her apart from the rest, he was sure of that.
Brianna, walking the line
She laughed about Sadril making fun of Rahvin....the vamp amused her, yet he also scared her....she was convinced he suspected her of being able to read minds, vamps are more sensitive to supernatural things than normal humans.
She also was unsure about him..would he come to the rescue if needed?
As they continued the walk , it started raining, a heavy wet rain was pouring down, wetting everything and everybody. Brianna wrapped her coat closer around her, really happy she still had it. There was a small bunch of trees a bit further on, it might serve as shelter for a while
" Come on, letīs go for the trees over there" She said and started running ahead of the group

Rahvin
Rahvin followed Brianna, totally ignoring Sadril's taunting; if he wanted to be childish, he could do it alone. He had looked at the soup that Brianna had given him, and saw that it was cold.
Kind of defeats the purpose of soup.
When he made it under the trees, he messed his own hair to get the icy water out of it, and handed Brianna her soup back.
"Maybe I'll try again when we have a fire going."

Arygon, walked to the impromtu campsite. "So, Rahvin you nedd it heated?" Arygon took out his dagger sawed a tree branch off, and light it up with a fireball, " I suppose magic is good for something." Arygon glanced at Brianna, What WAS she doing leading her lovers killers around?
Brianna, under a tree
Brianna smiled and put the jar back in her pouch.
"Ok...nevermind then....hmm isnīt that Lainlalten over there?" she pointed to the right, where there were some silhouettes of buildings visible ....
"If so then we better get going as soon as this darn rain stops"
She sighed....then she felt dizzy all of a sudden...
"Damn it...I havenīt eaten enough...."
She bent forwards to prevent herself from fainting, the blood rushed back in her head and she soon felt better, apart from the normal nausea from the pregnancy

"Why wait for the rain to stop? We'll have plenty of time to dry once we're in an inn."

"Yeah why stop?" Sadril asked walking past the tree, "A little cold rain ain't stoppin' me. I'll see you all in Lainlalten!" he said as he made his way down the path closer to closer to the town. Best get there before they do..
Brianna, walking
Itīs easy..itīs just to put one foot in front of the other...and then the other way around
Brianna tried to think that way as she walked together with Rahvin and Deagan, tired, hungry and soaked
"A warm bed, a cup of hot tea......I really donīt ask for anything else"
OOC: Got to go now, Iīll not be online tomorrow....huuge party!

Rahvin
Rahvin walked with the others, except for Sadril, who was running far ahead of them, quickly going out of sight.
It wasn't long before they reached the city gates. RAhvin was hesitant to speak with a guard, but he did anyway to ask about an inn.
"Take a left onto that street right there, and it's the third building on the right. It's called The Traveller's Rest." the guard answered.
Rahvin turned around to face the others, "I hope someone has some money. I have yet to be paid for...uh...yeah..." he trailed off there, suddenly remembering who his company was.

Telina, Lainlalten
Telina who had followed the others, not saying anything...instead she had been on guard for something dangerous, took Gorrmund a little away from the rest of the group, to talk to him in private.
"Gorrmund, you have to leave us, you must get back to Falkreath, to take up your place as lord there".
Gorrmund stared at her for a second. "Yes, I will, but will you go with me"?, suddenly there waas a tear emnating from his eye, as he aleready knew the answer.
"No, I will not...I must saty and protect Brianna, but remember...I...I will never forget you". Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek, and turned, running as fast as she could towards the group that was entering Lainlalten.
Suddenly she slipped, on a wet rock, and flew headlong into Rahvin...
OOC: Red told me to control his character, so I'll send him back to Falkreath...in case Red decides to return to us.

Arygon follow the group along, heard Rahvin talking about a lack of money when Telina fell into him, " Well, now Rahvin I guess someone owes you a little." Arygon said, "But anyway, here's the septims you need." Arygon tossed a bag at Rahvin.
Deagan, yeah...
Deagan walked behind the others and hung his head when he passed guards in the city. Some time ago he'd been caught stealing from the treasury and there were wanted posters everywhere. The group would surely recognize him but if any attempted to turn him in, he would be forced to kill them.
This was not a good idea...
He decided to follow the group silently as if he was a servant to one of them, trying not to focus on the pictures of him that were posted around the city...at least they seemed to be a little generous with his appearance in their drawings...
"Lets find an inn...quickly." Deagan whispered to no one in particular

Hecate
Hecate took of into the shadows, the meeting between him and the mysterious Breton was over, he would surely be visited again, at least he hoped - to claim his reward. Hecate knew he would have to get near the gates, he walked out of the alley taking his hood further down and started wandering slowly against the Traveller's Rest.
Coming up close to the Inn he suddenly spotted a large group of travellers. He got a wicked smile, he knew this had to be the group. He knew he would have to supervise them until he would even think about making a move. He picked up speed as he walked fast into the inn. He suddenly froze in the doorway, he looked back at the group. His eyes simply zoomed in one of them, he seemed... familiar, it was Deagan. The flashback brought him years back, there was a strong friendship between him and Deagan, he thought.
He could feel it all, the stinning and burning pain of the deadly poisoned dagger right in his spine. Deagan betrayed me, for the gold, I should have seen that cominb back then.
Hecate's dear friend Deagan didn't even hesitate to putt a dagger in his back when he found out that one of the nobles they had been hired to kill, left a nearly unthinkable amount of gold and items in his house. Greedy bastarde Hecate thought, before quickly moving into the inn, he positioned himself near the stairway which led upstairs, beyond the stairs was a window which led out to the small yard behind the inn - it was a good escape route, if anything should go wrong.

Telina, Lainlalten
Telina who had followed the others, not saying anything...instead she had been on guard for something dangerous, took Gorrmund a little away from the rest of the group, to talk to him in private.
"Gorrmund, you have to leave us, you must get back to Falkreath, to take up your place as lord there".
Gorrmund stared at her for a second. "Yes, I will, but will you go with me"?, suddenly there waas a tear emnating from his eye, as he aleready knew the answer.
"No, I will not...I must saty and protect Brianna, but remember...I...I will never forget you". Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek, and turned, running as fast as she could towards the group that was entering Lainlalten.
Suddenly she slipped, on a wet rock, and flew headlong into Rahvin...

Rahvin
Rahvin caught Telina just in time to keep her from falling. He supported her until she got her feet firmly back in place.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Before she could answer, Arygon tossed a bag of coins at him. He caught them and counted them up. It was around a hundred gold pieces; enough for them to rent a few rooms and get a good meal.

"Yeah, sure", she said...blushing. There was somnething with Rahvin, something attractive.
She followed the reest of the group into the tavern.
Arygon stepped inside, and being tired from all of the exerise the last few days, pushed the man in front of the stairs out of his way and climbed up to the nearest room and collasped onto the bed, Rahvin would have to be paying for it all, with the money that had just been given to him of course Arygon rolled over and set up his small alchemists set, along with a few Dwemer things. How was he going to fix his sword?
Rahvin
Before the innkeeper could stop Arygon for not paying, Rahvin shoved a few coins in his hand.
"I want as many rooms as you can spare, and a meal for all of us." he said to the innkeeper. He paid the innkeeper, and realized that he only had about ten coins left.
He noticed that there was one less meal than there was people, and looked around the room. Where was Gorrmund?
I guess there's one person that would know better than any one. he thought to himself.
"Hey, Telina; where's Gorrmund? Did he get lost or something?"

Deagan, Traveller's Rest Inn
The Traveller's Rest? Sounds like as good a place as any to hole up for the night...
Deagan caught a glimpse of someone heading into the inn right before them but thought nothing of it, instead he continued walking normally beside the others and going inside. As he walked inside and felt immediately at home, around the bar were lots of people drinking and laughing.
After nearly falling because of the ale on the floor he made his way to the bar for a drink, it seemed that Rahvin had paid for their drinks, food, and beds for the night...good thing too, Deagan searched his pockets and found the gold he'd had before gone.
Where is it? What could have happened to it?
He wondered about it for a few minutes and ordered some of the cheapest brandy to go with his meal. Deagan sat there, eating and drinking near the fire with his legs stretched out.
Finally a bit of peace...

Brianna, Travellerīs Rest, Lainlalten
Brianna was far too tired to pay much attention to the commotion involving Rahvin, Telina and in a way Gorrmund.
She noticed Telina sent Gorrmund away under the excuse she was to stay here protecting her; Brianna! She smirked......she very much liked the girl....but the thought of her as a bodyguard was somewhat odd. Brianna Sarethi had always been able to take care of herself, and intended to do so this time as well. And the way the girl just flung herself onto Rahvin!!! It looked very weird in Briannaīs eyes...it looked as if she did it on purpose..
"Telina, dear" Brianna smiled, "If youīre going to protect me, you need to stand on your feet....in the first place!"
She then addressed Rahvin:
"Telina sent him back to Falcreath" she said dryly, "Can we get some food now?"
OOC: Is Ranes also together with the others?

Rahvin
Rahvin raised an eyebrow, more clueless than he'd ever been before. He didn't have much time to think about it, though, because just then a waitress came from the kitchens, their tray of food in hand.
"Where do you want this?" the woman asked, and Rahvin pointed to an empty table in reply.
He sat down at the table and immediately began devouring the food, only pausing occasionally to take a sip of water.

Brianna, at the table, Travellerīs Rest Lainlalten[U]
Brianna smiled happily as the waitress brought their food, then helped herself to a fairly sturdy meal.

OOC: Yep.
Ranes, Teh inn
Ranes had been notably absent from the group briefly when they entered, to stable his horse. Now however, he joined Rahvin at the table and began eating as well, though in a slightly less ravenous manner. As he ate, his mind wandered.
Who did that old guy think he is? All that propechy and crap.
Its' odd, to be travelling with these killers. But, I don't think I should back out now. All this compassion and friendship could be a ploy and they'll kill the two girls and track Gorrmund down later.
Unlikely though. Their feelings seem genuine. But then there is the issue of those that will come to eliminate witnesses. The Errant assassins, the unkilled marks and the rest.
Brianna , eating
Even though she was very occupied eating, Brianna noticed Ranes joining them. That pleased her a lot.
"At last...heīs sensible, heīs good.....but why has he been following us from behind?"

Rahvin
Rahvin slowed down his eating a bit, mainly because wo women had put themselves down beside him. He slowly chewed his venison while Ranes sat down.
I still haven't heard that one say a word... he thought, but left it at that.
He ate an ear of corn and another slice of venison before deciding that he was full. He pushed the remaining food away from himself before leaning back in his chair.
He was still curious about Gorrmund though. Not that he minded that the man was gone; (Gorrmund seemed the type to think ill of all assassins, no matter the circumstances) he was just curious.
"I can see why Gorrmund would go back to Falcreath, but why did he leave you two behind?" he asked Telina and Brianna.

Arygon woke, when the smells of cooking finally reached his nose. He stumbled down the stairs, crashed into to the man standing by them, a mumbled apology later he was siting with Brianna and Telina, eating evrything he could on his plate, "So Brianna, now what?" Arygon asked as he stopped to lift a bottle of Flin...

Brianna
"That puzzles me also" she said thoughtfully, "But Telina just sent him off back to Falcreath, telling him some gibberish about he should go back and live as a heir....then she wouldnīt go with him...said she must protect me!....hmm from what if I may ask?"
She was also full now....and a slight sleepiness came over her
Sadril
Sadril walked into the inn, hood over his head, a somber, relaxed look on his face. He sat at the table with the others but declined any offerings of food.
He sat in silence for a while, when he noticed Brianna seemingly getting tired, "Brianna you really shouldn't push yourself so hard in your condition. Why don't you get some rest?" Sadril said as kindly as he could. By condition of course, he was hinting at Brianna's pregnancy, "As for me, I am going to get some rest," he said to everyone as he stod up from the table. He walked towards the stairway and began to climb the steps, not before looking an inconspicuous Hecate in the eye and nodding approvingly.
Sadril opened the door to his room, entered and locked the door behind. Sleeping was hardly what he had in mind. A second story window? In my room? How fortunate.

Hecate
Hecate satt calmly and quiet by his table, he watched the group through the reflection on the mug of ale. He could see the half-breed... the pregnant woman was sitting only feet away. He observed them all, including Deagan. He seemed to be apart of this group, so far it was at least six, seven with the man which went upstairs who had apparently been walking with the group as well. It was going to be hard. Deagan was a thief, the dunmer was clearly a warrior judging from his huge claymore, the two women looked like bow users, a elderly man was also along with the group, the breton had a nice looking Dwemer Crossbow and the last dunmer, looked rather like himself, theif or assassin.
He knew he would have to take the woman while she was alone, or at least with less than all seven of them.

Deagan, Inn
"Time to turn in..." Deagan said to the others
Deagan stood from his place at the table and thanked the barkeep for the meal, as he was walking to the stairs he looked around to make sure nobody was watching and then pinched a pouch full of gold off one of the patrons sitting at the bar. He tossed the gold and caught it before putting it into his pocket.
All too easy...
With a smile he climbed the stairs and entered one of the rooms, he took his weapons and stashed them in the dresser beside the bed. He kept with him a dagger which he slid under his pillow. He counted the twelve coins he'd just found and sat them in the chair beside the bed.
A full night of sleep would do him some good, he drifted off and fell asleep after only a few minutes...(but will it last till morning?)

Hecate
Hecate noticed Deagan catching some coins before he went upstairs, didn't notice him apparently. Hecate stood up and paid for his drinks before he went up the stairs, he catched Deagan going into his room before he closed the door. Hecate waited a couple of moments, waiting for Deagan to sleep. He knew he could blow this whole deal talking to Deagan, but he had too.
All was clear. Hecate took up one of his lockpicks and simply picked the lock with a small laughter. He opened the door slowly and gently before closing it looking down on Deagan sleeping. He went to the window at the end of the small room and leaned against the wall, resting his hands on his daggers as usual.
"Sleeping already... friend?" Hecate said calmly, waking Deagan.
Deagan, Inn
Deagan sat up from his bed quickly, shaking off the disorientation and pulling the dagger from under his pillow, nearly falling out of bed. He pointed the dagger toward the man stading in the corner but he couldn't see him clearly enough to tell who he was.
"What do you want? These are my private quarters." Deagan said angrily
Who the hell? It looks like...no it can't be...
Deagan breathed heavily as he stared at the silent man in the corner, waiting for him to say something...anything.
