To Heir is Human - Playground #6

Veric

Veric let his sword rest in Telina's chest, to make a statement to the group more than anything. Of course as he rose one of the group had foolishly attacked him. Veric extended his right hand at the Arygon leaping through the air and activated a simple paralyzation spell.

Deagan, road

As Deagan followed behind the others Telina stayed behind for some reason...after a minute it became clear that the reason was to slow the man pursuing them.

The group stayed for a moment to watch the battle but the man was simply toying with Telina and everyone knew it. Deagan pulled back an arrow in his bow and aimed carefully at the dark man in the street, he sighed, shook his head, and cursed himself under his breath as he forced himself to slowly withdraw his arrow and stash it back into the quiver on his back. Something inside of him wanted to help her but he decided not to after the demonstration from the man.

He made short work of that girl...now its time to leave. I could've done something...no forget it, that guy is way too powerful for any of us.

"Listen everyone, we need to go now, no more stalling. This battle is over and if Arygon is foolish enough to stay behind then leave him." Deagan said to the group, a dark and dishonorable thing to do but those who had been dumb enough to go back weren't his problem anymore

He still felt that he should've tried to help Telina but something inside of him had kept him from it.

OOC:Yeah I got confused...trying to figure out whats going on now...

Arygon did his best to twitch, anythign and he could activate his spell. I have it! Arygon concentrated his magicka, Hey! Breton! Afriad to fight me without your magic? Arygon did his best to psykic message...

Cerpin

"She died to save us." was all he said in answer to Brianna.

In truth, he didn't see it that way at all. He doubted that Veric would have even come if Telina hadn't shouted a challenge at him.

"But if we want her sacrifice to have meaning, then we had better go." he said, pulling Brianna along.

Veric

"What is the need to?" he answered outloud to Arygon's weak telepathy. He stepped towards the man, seemlessly casting a small healing spell on his leg, and rested his foot on Arygon's neck, beginning to press down.

Brianna

"I know she did, but I still think mother should have done something...."

Brianna walked along beside Cerpin.......now life was not as bright as it had been just some hour ago....

Arygon stuggled, his fingers could almost move enough for the cure paralyzation...

OOC: If you want me to kill off Arygon just fight me a little... then prepare for the biggest magic blast ever... no, I'm not going to kill Veric with it.. you'll see... oh yes...

Cerpin

"Like what? Die? Because that's all she would have been able to do against one such as that breton back there."

Veric

Veric pressed harder on Arygon's throat with his foot, "Go ahead, use your cure paralyzation spell. The outcome will be the same."

OOC: you wanna fight, you gotta start it

Arygon managed to move his fingers, his spell activated. The blade in his machine- arm shot out, just short of the man's neck, so he swung it to make the man move.

OOC: A little sword fight... then magicka...

Flint Ironwood, at the end of a mad dash.

As Flint raced towards Veric and Arygon as fast as he could, he quickly realized he wasn't going to make it. If he just hadn't run away a bit earlier.
,,Sorry, Arygon." He muttered as he skidded to a halt and fired a single Telekinetic blast from his katana towards Veric. He then turned around and sped off again, quickly catching up with the rest of the gang.


(If Arygon is supposed to die, Flint won't save him. Having him run away is the best choice cause I don't want to lose my own character. )

Veric

Veric stepped back quickly to avoid the blade, thusly removing his foot from Arygon's neck and narrowly avoiding the telekenetic blast. (sry, had to edit it in but couldnt find a good place to have it hit him )

"So, you want a sword fight then? I suppose I could give you at least that before your death." Veric summoned a short Daedric blade into his hand, forgetting for a moment that his sword was still in Telina's chest.

Brianna

"What´s so special about that breton? Do you really know my mother? Know the terrible things she can do with the help of magic..."

Arygon did a short backflip, to stand. He drew a shortsword, plain steel, for his left hand, his right was literally a sword itself. He lunged with his right hand, left covering the defensive postioning. A flame edged the steel and it slowly glowed. If it's a fight he wants, its a fight he gets. Arygon thought.

OOC: This is going to be fun.

Cerpin

"Can't you feel his...ah, never mind." He had almost asked if Brianna could feel the man's power, but Rahvin would most certainly not be able to do that...

"I just have a gut feeling about him, is all." he said quickly, recovering from his earlier slip. Rahvin would have definately said something like that, he knew.

Hecate

Hecate saw a Breton dash forward against Veric and the other, more annoying Breton. Hecate wouldn't let this Breton ruin the fun for Veric, not now.

Out of the shadows came Hecate rushing out, Flint moved fast, magically fast. But that didn't help him much as Hecate came in. Hecate went into a fast position between Flint and Veric, in the glimt of an eye he had a throwing dagger in his hand. The launched the blade forward straight for Flint, the blade spun perfectly and hit Flint straight under the kneecap. The curved blade made it's way deep into the tissue, having no problem with the front armour at all before releasing a small doze of paralyzing toxin, not the deadly one - but the toxin spread quickly in his legs, causing the muscles to go out of control and he got a cramp before the muscles totally shut down.

Veric held his sword up to reflect, but it wasn't very effective. It was clear to Veric that Arygon was a better fighter than he was, and he accepted that. His instinct told him to lash out with a spell, but again he stopped himself, wanting to use this chance to test his skills further in swordsmanship.

Veric circled Arygon, not daring to leave a defensive stance. He knew his place, and that was not as a warrior.

Arygon, turned slowly eyes following Telina's killer. He has paralyztion... have to watch out for that. Arygon jumped into a whirlwind spin both blades flashing to where the man would be standing in a step or two...

OOC: So the display begins....

(that was mean. )

Flint Ironwood, in pain.

Flint only had the time for a quick reflex before the dagger came. It was too late, and the blade wedged itself right between two glass plates.
,,Lucky bugger. It's hard enough to put a knife between two of the plates when you can do it slowly and without interuptions." Flint thought among a cloud of pain as he dropped to the ground.

The blade was poisoned with something that made him lose control over his muscles. Flint launched a few telekinetic blasts at his foe while he brought his left hand down towards the dagger which he pulled out with a barely surpressed yell.
,,Here, have some of your own toys." He whispered as he hurled it bag and crawled up to his knees. He cast a weak healing spell that removed the toxin from his blood, but failed to deal with the damage that had already been caused.

,,Damn, I am in big trouble now."

Brianna

Brianna nodded.......it made sense to her....now she would concentrate on walking..that was putting one foot ahead of the other......and so on

Serene was walking ahead of them...very determined it seemed

Brianna shrugged

Veric

Veric held up his daedric sword to block the incoming barrage of blades. One hit, a second. Arygon's spinning attack was effective enough to make Veric jump back to avoid getting cut. "Enough!" he yelled as he sent a frost spell at Arygon's legs hoping to slow him down.

Sadril

Serene's command humanoid spell was useless on Sadril; whether it was because of his vampirism or sheer age and willpower remained to be seen. Instead Sadril stood blankly, his eyes watching the battle unfold between Veric and Arygon. Moments ago he had turned just in time to see the dwarven blade drove into Telina, and now he saw her lifelss body lying in the snow.

Still Sadril watched Veric, studying his tactics carefully.

Rahvin

Rahvin felt a pang of overwhelming sadness that was soon replaced by anger.

hamster cave stop standing there and kill him! he screamed yet again.

In his grief, it took him a moment to realize that something had been different that time; the thought hadn't just echoed back to him. Sadril must have heard it!

Sadril? Can you hear me?

Arygon's blades pinged uselessly against steel, then ice surrrounded his legs. Besides making them shiver badly it had no real effect, Arygon tried a new trick, since the man seemed unskilled with his blade... Arygon dived forward, his arm-blade connecting with the other man's while his other hand came up with ... The box of Dwemer Dust came up into the man's eyes dust flying in the air...

Hecate vs Flint

Hecate brought his arms up in a cross-block to defending himself for the blows to come, he could see how the telekenisis blast whipped up all the sand and dirt from the ground before blasting into Hecate. The rapid blasts pushed him backwards, but Hecate managed to stabilize himself and remained in balance.

As the Breton summoned the divine powers to heal his wound, Hecate made his move. He drew both of his daggers; Vicious and Serpent Tongue and launched himself forward.

His two blades came incredibly fast down on the healing Breton, a attack upon another attack swiftly as a cross shape, cutting down. The attacks wasn't much planned, as he tried to find a weak point. He kept moving forward and around, moving a lot, hard for the Breton too keep up with his leg partly paralized.

Flint vs Hecate. (The fight of the century!)

Flint barely had time to stabilize himself when Hecate lunged at him. At first he tried to parry the blows, but there were simply too many of them and he had to thank his armour for stopping most.
,,No way I can fight like this." He thought as he launched a Telekinetic blast at his own feet, sending everything around him and himself flying.

Once in the air, Flint was in his element and the paralyzation of his leg barely mattered. He nimbly changed his flight to make some distance so he could take out his dagger. He then cast an invisibility spell on himself and made sure he landed outside the man's view. If he could just stay out of the way, he should be able to escape or maybe even land a good blow.

Veric

"Damn!" was all Veric could say when he temporarily blinded by... some kind of dust. He lept back again and practically yelled "Morte flamejante!" extending his right hand to unleash the spell.

A fireball (something people may notice are Veric's favorite) literally erupted from his hand, aimed in the general direction of Arygon, only slightly downward so that if it missed it still explode.

Whatever it did, it made contact with something as Veric felt a large heat wave flow over him.

(OOC it was basically a very big fireball )

Sadril

"Hamster cave stop standing there and kill him!
Sadril? Can you hear me?"

Wha?! Who is there?

Arygon stood, the fireball burning across his chest, down his arms along his fingers. Anyone looking close enough would realize it was a spell a powerful spell. Arygons fingers glow dark-red and beams of fire blazed forward. Arygon began using his life to fuel his magic. the beams brightened as his life sapped away.

OOC: So begins the magic... the end is soon.

Rahvin

It's me, Rahvin. What did you think I was? Your conscience? Now either kill that bastarde or give me a body so I can do it myself.

Hecate vs Flint

Hecate was taken by surprise by the blast and nearly fell to the ground but he manage to remain in balance, only going down on one knee. Seeing his opponent up in the air he sheathed one of his daggers before drawing four throwing knives between his fingers. With a wicked grin at the Breton he launched the throwing knives fast, nearly simultaneously. But they all passed through thin air as the Breton made himself invisible.

Hecate only laughed as he scanned the air quickly looking for any possible signs of where the Breton flew.

Flint Ironwood vs Hecate.

Flint landed without a sound and slowly crept forward to the man's back while making sure he didn't disturb anything.
,,Let's see how you like to get sharp things thrown at you." He thought to himself and took out a few of his throwing stars. They were simple silver ones without any enchantments, but they would have to be enough.

,,Here goes." Flint erupted into movement with two throwing stars flying towards the man followed by a few telekinetic blasts and finally the Breton himself. Of course, he also became visible.

Veric

"You're more intelligent than I thought, using one's own life to fuel a magicka spell. A finale unlike any other," Veric said, now almost laughing as one who he had least expected used this technique. He threw up a shield, a strong one at that from his Aleration mastery. But would it be strong enough? He thought as the beams collided with the shield.


Sadril

I... "I can't!" he yelled. I can't, that Breton... He is too strong... He will kill me and you at the same time! Would Telina want you to die inside of me?!

Rahvin

The voice of reason took the anger right out of him, leaving only the sadness.

I guess you're right. was all he said, causing a deathly silence in Sadril's mind.

Arygons beams brightened his life had run out, but he was still standing. The beams blazed outward in all directions they lifted Hectate and Flint off the ground and over to him. A extra beam shot out and hit Sadril, probing slowly. The flames brightened and smashed Veric's shield. A deep and powerful voice boomed from Arygon "You, Veric are planning to kill a pure innocent that has yet to be born." Veric was thrown away. The beam lifted Sadril "You have another within you, and are undecided." Sadril was tossed far into the sky. The beams began lifting Hectate "You are a pawn of what you don't understand." Hectate was smashed into the ground. "And, Flint this body has memories of you. He wishes you to have his speed." Flint was abruptly covered in pure speed and tossed to the ground. "Where is the rest?" The voice demanded.

OOC: There.. the end of Arygon has nearly ended. be back later to finish up. Just leave Arygon floating there, he's currently invincible anyway...

Ummm.. Kiln....

Hecate vs Flint

Hecate suddenly heard the sound of sharp objects making their way through the air, straight for him. Hecate turned instantly, went into a crouch drawing his second blade before deflecting the throwing stars, but he missed one, which gave him a nasty cut on the shoulder but it wasn't too deep. Naiv enough, Hecate was about to smile at Flint for the throwing stars before he got suddenly blasted through the air, landing several feet back.

Hecate quickly rolled over on his stomach before getting up. Hecate released a more serious expression on his face before sprinting forward against the Breton. A few feet before Flint, Hecate went into a spin, his cloak was picked up by the twisting movement and nearly throwing in Flint's face. Then, out from waves of the cloak came a quick thrust, straight against Flint's stomach and while in the other hand, he spun the dagger around, the blade facing downwards and guiding it twards Flint's thigh.

The strikes was only inches away from sending Flint lifeless to the ground but suddenly Hecate was picked up by a unknown force. Apparently coming from the dying Breton, he didn't catch anything, only a voice before he got thrown into the ground...

Edited

Flint Ironwood, the chaos.

Flint managed to at least slightly wound his opponent. The man spun towards him with his cape obscuring his movements. Out of the cape came suddenly a thrust. Flint was unprepared and the thrust cracked the glass plates, sending small shards into his stomach but fortunately stopping the blade itself, which was probably poisoned. Flint managed to deflect the second thrust towards his thigh when Arygon suddenly went ballistic.

Flint was carried up into the air somehow and a strange voice boomed through the air.
,,What speed, I am already one heck of a fast guy myself." He thought confused before he began to fall. Flint quickly assessed his wounds and flipped over so he could land on his hands. He then directed a jump spell that took all of his Magicka reserves into his hands and launched himself off into the air. He might even clear Skyrim before landing.

(Alright, bedtime. I have no idea what's going on but Flint needs a rest to recover from his wounds. He'll be back though.)

Sadril

Sadril felt himself lifted into the air by some force. He had been thrown quite a way up, enough to startle him, but his back softend his fall a few hundred feet from the fight. "Ow," he said plainly as he sat up. Then he realized something.

Now wait just a minute! What are you doing in my head?!

Veric

Veric was blown backwards by the blast and knocked off his feet but little more. He got up and brushed himself off, his side hurting slightly from the shock. He kept one of his most powerful spells in check to finish off Arygon, but decided to hold out on it, not wanting to reveal his best cards just yet, especially on one so weak minded as to sacrifice himself like that.

Rahvin

I don't honestly know. he answered. I think I'm dead, except for the fact that there's another 'Rahvin' running around with Brianna. This sounds crazy, but I think he either killed me and made himself look like me, or he stole my body.

Sadril

"Hm, that's rather suspicious, perhaps we should pay this Rahvin a visit?" Sadril suggested outloud as he made his way through the thick foliage he had fallen into.

Hecate

Hecate was lying face down on the road, coughing some small amounts of blood out of his mouth after the hard blow. He slowly pushed himself up, so much he wanted to stay to watch this but he wouldn't want to reveal to much of himself.

He looked at the rest of the crowd which hadn't been picked up, wipping the blood from his mouth slowly with his sleeve, soon revealing one of the most sinister smiles you could've seen in your life. His eyes darting on each of them standing there, looking deep inside each of them before he looked down on his second ring, his recall ring.

His mouth was moving, saying something but no one could hear the spell. All there was, was a breathe of wind through the road which circled around Hecate before the wind turned into a black looking mist then it drifted off into the wind, leaving only a small burn mark in the ground - Hecate was away.

OOC: Nighty night!

Rahvin

Just don't kill him; I may need my body back, unless you just want me in your head for all eternity.

In truth, he wasn't even thinking about getting his body back at this point; he was just glad that Sadril was leaving the sight of Telina's dead body behind. He couldn't bear to look at it any longer.

OOC: Man that sucks... I have missed so much... the battles... Tellina's demise... god that sucks...


MAZE

Maze was in the form of a shadow... he has been a witness to two deaths and a possible third one... Maze smiled as usual... "Both of their moves are impressive... the Breton a powerful wizard and the other a powerful warrior..."

Maze was nothing more than a shadow in the snow... unknown to anyone... he was planing of saving the Bretons (Flint) life if he needed to... since Maze has so much instore for that poor unfortunate soul..... "If you ever go near my prey again I will make you suffer..." Maze thougth sadisticly as he saw the impressive warrior vanish in a dark mist...

Maze traveled through the snow at the speed of light... stocking his prey... the small band of unfortunate souls...

Arygon's body turned in the air, a beam lifted Maze. "Now... what are you?" The voice asked "It does not matter." Maze was tossed back to where he was hiding. "THE TIME HAS COME!" The voice bellowed, echoing from the mountains. Arygon exploded outward in a shower of golden-yellow sparks.


Arygon woke hundreds of miles southward in south Valenwood. "What an interesting adventure!" Arygon said with a laugh. "But what happened there at the end.. I lost control of my puppet. What was that?" Arygon sat in a chair and pondered. "Poor Telina i wish the puppet could've been faster. Bah, Servant!" A servant walked over, bowed, "Sir?" The servant asked. "Send a single arifact from the vaults to Brianna. She'll have a child... it'll be a birthday present I suppose." Arygon said to the servant. "The... The Vaults, Sir? But you... have all those artifatcs..." The servant stuttered. "Yes, send him vault # 117. " The servant turned to the speaking funnel "Vault number 117 to the transfer service!" the servant called. Arygon pondered: would the Deadric artifact be enough?

OOC: There something for Brianna's child... I said Arygon wouldn't die.. Dramatic? I was planning on talking to everyone but they all ran off...

MAZE

Maze was completley taken by surprise... he was lifted into the air and then tossed back... fortunatly for him he sank back into the darkness of his heart... into a shadow... he saw how the man with the metal hand exploded... if Maze was a common mortal he probaly would have died... but unfortunatley for the damn thing that exploded he wasn't... instead he absorbed the power of the explosion and made it his own...

Smiling cruely Maze said "Interesting... I guess I am not the only won who posseses puppets... maybe I should move foward with more caution... with the full potential of my abilities... no... it will be to much for these punny mortals... I want to tortured them... not destroy them all mercifuly..." Maze smiled even crueler...

He came out of the darkness... his body started to slowly levitate in the cold air... then a thousand jagged shadows pierced and consumed him... he was completley covered by them... this process could have easily killed anyone... but not Maze... the shadow then slowly started to sink into him... little by little until only a slightly bigger fraction of his true form was revealed... he was now a different person... a being made out of complete darkness with no remorse...

Maze's feet touched the ground... his sage green cloak danced in the cold air... he looked different... he was not the same person.... his hair grew and inch longer and alot more darker... his skin even paler... the bizzare green and black tattoo's now looke incredibly demonic... his teeth took the form of sharp fangs... his eyes became even crueler... the silvery sinister glow now stayed in them and some how his eyes became even more fierce... and his voice... his cold dark voice got even darker and now possesed a horrible power... his voice alone can arouse emotions in others... pain, fear, despair and hatred... just by his words...

Maze smiled a smile that would make demons bust out crying in desperation and fear... he started walking slowly towards the direction where he sense the breton (Flint)... his foot steps left a weird dark smoke mark behind... his dark figure was slowly lost in the white horrzon...

OOC: You see what you did DarkHunter... you pretty much damned everyone now... why cant you understand... Maze is black magic... he is a being of pure unimaginable horror and darkness... you will all see how much more of a nightmare he will become ...

OOC: (Kinda all thats left) it's not an explosion... it was the desummoning spakles...

Veric

"Interesting," was all that Veric could say in regards to the events that had happened. Seeing that everyone has either died or ran in fear, Veric moved to retrieve his sword from Telina.

Something was wrong though. Veric rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, staring into Telina's dead expression. Something definitely isn't right. He knelt by her and touched her forehead with his hand. A simple detect life spell revealed that a hint of life still resided deep inside her. A faint tempo in her heart, breath in her lungs; a life force so small it was seemingly undetectable by means other than a simple detect life spell.

"She clings to life still. It seems she is not ready to go yet," he said quietly to himself. Veric was faced with a decision: Leave her here to rot, or an idea he had gotten, take her as a trophy of sorts. The others seem to be attached to her, perhaps she could come in hand as acting as a beacon to them.

He stood and drew his Dwarven longsword from her chest and held it pointed at her neck, still-warm blood dripping from it staining the snow. "You have lossed and I have spared you. You belong to me now until death releases you," he spoke as if she were conscious.

Veric reached down and picked Telina up by her robe, her head falling limp to the side. He admired her beauty, perhaps it was a reason why he spared her. "A suiting trophy. Soon they will all be reduced to dust."

In a flash of magicka both Veric and Telina had vanished...

EDIT: (note: no one (save those sided with veric) is supposed to see this or know that telina is alive. if your character is around then this happened after they departed, and if your character can sense life, tellie's was too weak to sense. her not-death is secret, as well is veric taking her. (if you go back for her you can notice she dissappeared though.))


Sadril

Sadril moved through the woods until he emerged near the group. The first thing he did was pick out Rahvin, or... his body rather. He paused and prepared himself, then drew his katana and ran straight for 'Rahvin'. He stopped, sliding in the snow a little, but ultimately ended up with the tip of his blade at 'Rahvin's' neck. "Why don't you tell these people who you really are?"

In all actuallity, Sadril wan't one hundred percent sure on what he was doing. Yeah there was a voice in his head, but he had lots of those. Plus after his small breakdown in the Inn, combined with the way he has proved his trustworthiness in the past--what with threatening to kill almost everyone he was travelling with-- he wasn't sure he would be trusted.

If the fake Rahvin played his cards right, in fact, he may very well turn everyone against Sadril.

Cerpin

"Last time I checked, I believe I was Rahvin." he answered sarcastically. "And unless you want to lend me a mirror so I can check, I'd suggest shutting up."

He stood and whispered in Sadril's ear, but loud enough so the others could hear, and hopefully believe him over Sadril. "Telina just died and we're all grieving and tired as hell. Just drop our little feud for now?"

Rahvin

Damn, he's good. He's almost as good at being me as I am.

Sadril

"Just shut-up!" he yelled at 'Rahvin', his anger rising at the mention of Telina's name. Sadril addressed the others, "This man is an imposter," he paused realizing he had absolutely no credibilitu, no proof. "Rah--" he stopped again thinking the words through, "Rahvin's body was taken by something or someone. I don't know, but this isn't Rahvin. Rahvin is in my head!"

Damn, that was weak.

Rahvin

Yeah, pretty much. Good try though. if he had a body, he would have either rolled his eyes or slapped Sadril in the face. He couldn't decide which.

Cerpin

Cerpin grinned widely and supressed a laugh. "Are you serious?"

Serene, don't give me away. I swear that once I can, I'll leave you and your daughter alone. And while I believe you when you say that Rahvin may still be alive, I doubt he is in Sadril. It can't be possible for two souls to inhabit one body. It defies all that I know of souls, and that's quite a vast knowledge.

Servant

I'm counting on you. Late and I'll kill you myself. Don't deliver and you'll wish I killed you Arygon's word rang in the servants ears, he traveled the halls to the teleportation center. "I need a teleport to Skyrim." The servant, Oran, told the mage. "That'll be 100 septims.' Oran took out the note from Lord Arygon, the mage's mouth almost hit the floor. Oran stepped into the circle, and felt a nauseous feeling as he was moved hundreds of miles northward.
