Flogir
Flogir muttered a curse and looked in the direction of Flint's attack, but nothing caught his eyes.
"Do you know what it is?" he asked as he scanned the surroundings for more enemies. It now seemed that they were caught between a rock and a hard place, not the most ideal situation for them.

Flint Ironwood.
Flint held his blades ready but did not continue his attack, yet.
,,Humanoid, really fast and practically invisible to the bare eye. A detection spell helps, do you know one?"
Green-Root, in the cave.
The Argonian looked up at the ceiling. He sniffed up the air and made his decision. Gripping the wall with his claws, he climbed up till he clung to the ceiling. It was hard to support his weight, but he managed. From there, he moved towards the gap in the ceiling. When he freed one hand to grab his spear, he nearly fell. Still, he managed to hold on long enough to smack his spear's shaft against the feet of someone who was standing near the edge.
Flint, falling.
Flint raised his sword for another blast when something hit his feet and made him loose his footing. To his own annoyance, he fell backwards through the hole leading towards the cave. The Breton hit the floor hard and as he rolled out of the campfire, his right arm burned with an intense pain.
,,Great, broken."
He rose himself back up onto his feet and gripped his remaining katana as firm as he could. The other, the Storm, was lying in the campfire. He didn't worry about it as the fire's temperature was too low to harm the weapon. On the other hand, he would have appreciated its use.
Beyond him, there was only one other person in the room. An emerald-scaled Argonian who was pointing a Silver spear in his direction.
,,You've interrupted my meal, softskin." He hissed.
(Ok, so what's Flogir going to do? Will he help Sodsa and Dalrus against the invisible enemy who might pull off his duplication trick at any moment? Or will he jump after Flint?)

Sodsa Hekal -> Pinned at Hero Hill
Sodsa saw Flint's blast "Crap, Hey, Dalrus do you see a humanoid up there anywhere? I can see a slight blur but i doubt i'll be enough to take it down."
After Sodsa finished his sentence, Flint fell into the hole and Sodsa muttered a few words under his breath. Seeing Flogir looking around bewildered, Sodsa signaled for Flogir to follow Flint. "Hmph, no use for his to fight something he can't see."

Karn, rude awakening
He'd only just arrived on the high ground when suddenly an invisble blast of telekenitic energy made him lose his balance and stumble. The moment's astonishment was replaced with smothering fury when he recognized the attack from the one that "assassin" from CHorrol had used weeks ago.
Karn crouched and scanned the landscape for the intruders. He spotted that one sorceress woman and a bosmeri archer on one of the hills below. This is getting repetitive...... Recalling the last incident when the woman had disentegrated all of his bandit bowmen, Karn deided to wait for an approppriate moment to attack.
He summoned four copies of himeslf anyway, I can't rely on those goblins. The dunmer thought as the green creatures continued to frenzy about. Then there was roar of protest from a group of orc berzerkers, ogres, and trolls that had just arrived. Looks like I'll get some help.....

Flogir
Flogir hestitated a moment as he saw Flint plunge down into the mountain. He heard Flint hit the ground and cringed at the sound but was relieved to hear him groan in pain. At least he's not dead.
Then a hissing voice reached his ears and he knew that Flint was in trouble, but there was also this blur that Flint spoke of before falling in. He then caught sight of Sodsa's signal, and nodded. He would go after Flint.
Looking down, he saw an Argonian with a spear making his way towards the fallen Flint. Taking a deep breath, Flogir hopped down into the cave, aiming to land right on top of the hopefully unexpecting lizardman.
Unfortunately for Dalrus and Sodsa, he did not see Karn creating copies of himself.
(obviously, I'm leaving up to you jack if Flogir lands on Green-Root or not)

Veric
Though Veric and Voltar were both primed and ready for a nice Mages Guild duel, much to their dismay they found the Arcane University as well as possibly all of the Imperial City evacuated. The door they both so confidently waltzed through revealed nothing but a deserted chamber.
"Damn," Veric cursed with disappointment, "...Any idea where they would keep their alchemy supplies? I've never once stepped foot in this place."

Green-Root.
A heavy weigth landed on Green-Root who was thrown to the floor. Before he'd even landed, he blade of air cut through his scales. A large gash had formed over his snout and his spear had fallen out of his grip.
Flint Ironwood, not happy.
Flint aimed his sword for a second strike.
,,Thanks for the help, Flogir. Could you put out that fire, please? I don't want to keep the Storm in it any longer than needed. Fire is bad for the leather grip." He said with a slight sense of humour.
,,Alright, Lizard thing. How about you giving us some answers?"

Semir Grey, off the Argonian coast.
Semir Grey stood at the bow of his Redguard Raider as it casually sailed across the sea. Fog was all around them though the lanterns at the ship's ends were doused.
He ran a hand trough his grey hair that had the feel of dry sand.
,,Dang, where could that merchant have gone? Why did it have to approach Argonia with this damn fog?" He grumbled.
,,Lookout! Anything new?!" He then shouted to the man at the top of the mast.
The Lookout continued to scan the misty surroundings.
,,Not a thing, cap! Wait........lanterns to our left!"
Semir walked tot the left side of the ship and peered out into the fog. There it was, so dim he could barely see it. Judging by the space between the two lanterns, the ship was about the right size.
,,That's the one. Uncover the sails! Flank them!" He shouted at the man behind the rudder and pointed at the soon to be plundered vessel.
The sails were unfolded and the Blue Serpent lifted its gracious hull out of the water, ripping through the waves as it approached its victim. Semir rechecked the Cutlass he'd strapped to his belt. Around him, his fellow crew of 'treasurehunters' had decked out in full combat gear.
,,Archers! Insurance!" He ordered. Four of the archers took aim and released their arrows. With a soft thunk, they stuck into the merchant's hull. The arrows had been coated in highly flammable oil. At a single command, Semir could now put the merchant aflame. It was their insurance for when the negotiations went bad.
As the ships came near each other, the fog appeared to vanish. Semir let out a violent curse as the reinforced bow of the Serpent crashed into the other ship's side.
With a running leap, he moved over to the new ship. His katana flashed down, cutting through the back of the strange creature. He spun around and stabbed a second one in the heart. Another spin and he blocked a viciously curved sword.
,,These aren't merchants! Put these damn.......snakes on fire!" He shouted over the increasing noise of battle. The snakelike creatures had gotten over their surprise and now fought back with a skill at swordplay that rivalled the one the mostly Redguard crew was so proud off.
Semir continued his duel with his adversary. He jumped back continuesly, avoiding the katana till he'd made it all the way to the stern. Before him, the ship's bow was wrapped in blazing flames. The rowers on the Blue Serpent had begun to pull it's bow out of the hole it caused in the other ship's side.
The Breton jumped on the railing. One more time the katana sliced through the air. Semir stepped to the side and pinned the sword to the railing with his boot.
,,You're getting too annoying. Die, scaleface." He sneered and stabbed the creature. He turned to the flag hanging next to him and ripped it off the pole.
,,I'll be taking this. Alright men! Retreat!" He shouted and dove into the sea, followed by his men.
(Long intro but yes, he attacked an Akaviri vessel.)

Flogir
Flogir climbed off of the falled Argonian and dusted himself off. "Just thought I'd drop in," Flogir said, smiling ruefully at his awful pun. He walked over to the fire and kicked dirt on it to put it out. He tested the handle of Storm to check for heat and finding cool enough he picked it up and handed it to Flint.
"You okay buddy?"
Voltar
Voltar looked at the vacant entrance of Arcane University. He shared Veric's disappointment of the lack of mages but he got over it quickly. He turned to his ally.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't visited this place once before," he paused and looked at his surroundings once more, " BUT, this does seem somewhat familiar to the layout of such a University in Summersett..."
He walked over to the purple pad resting on the floor. "These pads here will take us up to the next floor, these mages always seem to be too lazy to make stairs... But I do believe one of the rooms on the next floor should contain the alchemly lab." He said as he stepped onto the pad and activated it, instantly dissolving him into thin air.

Merethicus, somewhere within the same cave complex
Elsewhere in the general vicinity, a young Cyrodiilic man sits alone at a campfire. He is encased within a sort of pasty yellow armor, with spiky pauldrons, and a harsh looking helmet with an eye-slit made of the same material rests at his feet. He has a silver longsword on his lap, and runs along it with a whetstone while his mind is elsewhere.
I never should've joined this damned army! It's a undisciplined and disorderly mess and they don't mean to hold anything, just destroy! The fools! There aren't even any solid units to speak of! If it wasn't for numbers they'd have no damn leg to stand on... and then that...thing! He just wants to bloody well destroy everything for whatever motives go around in whatever mind comes along with that body... gives me the creeps, he does... Maybe I should try to make off. And then what, though? I don't know anything of the area beyond the fact that it's gotten bloody well dangerous recently...

Veric
Veric followed Voltar, trusting his hunch for it was all he had to go on. He stepped on the pad and teleported to another one, probably upstairs.
Around them was none other than what they had just begun searching for; an alchemy lab. The only thing that could've made the room any more appealing to the two trespassers would be a few mages fumbling with spells to save their lives. None were found.
Without saying a word, Veric began his search for this antidote. He knew Voltar would do the same, and was beginning to feel very at ease with his new companion.
Voltar was an ally on an equal level of intelect and followed orders even though he rarely needed to be told what to do. Sadril, Veric's other ally, was wiser than he let on, however lacked the quality of getting done what needed doing.

"Here," Veric said after several silent minutes of searching through dusty, stagnant alchemy supplies. "Essence of Boltet," he stood from behind a desk and held up three large vials stained green, labeled accordingly. "These should do the trick. Anything else you need from here? Research material?" he asked, picking up an empty bottle and examining it indifferently.

Flogir, inside the mountain
Flogir withdrew Iceshard, keeping it trained on the downed Argonian. He was not going to underestimate his potential enemy. With his free hand, he managed to get out a lenth of rope from his pack.
"First off, I suggest we tie him up. You're injured and this guy has almost as many limbs as both of us combined with that tail of his. This guy has the look of a determined one, I don't want to give him any chances. Afterwards, we can ask as many questions as we wish," Flogir bodly said and tossed one end of the rope to Flint.
"Shall we?"
Voltar
Voltar was sniffing the contents of an unlabled vial and grimanced at the attack on his senses when Veric announced his discovery. Nodding, Voltar set the vial back down.
"Well, I wouldn't mind a quick peruse through the University's Library, it shan't take long, I promise," Voltar said, sounding as if he were a begging child. It seemed he was coming out of his reclusive shell a little bit.
Voltar quickly cleared his throat and his usual blank expression returned. "I believe the Library was behind one of the doors back on the bottom floor," he said as he approached the beacon that would take him back to the floor. "You're free to check out the rest of this place on your own if you're interested in looking for something else; you'll know where I'll be."
With that, he activated the beacon a dissolved back down to the entrance floor.

Flint Ironwood, in the cave.
Flint nodded and focussed his mind on one end of the rope. Since he needed his remaining hand to hold his sword, he used Telekinesis to manipulate the rope. Together, they tied up the Argonian till he was completely immobile.
Flint admired their work for a moment.
,,Well, that's that I suppose. Since he won't be going anywhere for a while, maybe we should go back up and help out the kids? I bet they're having their hand full with whoever that was outside."

Green-Root, tied up.
Green-Root felt like a fool. To let himself be surprised like this. Still, he knew that there was someone camping out further into the cave. What was once a large tunnel was now little more than an opening barely large enough to squeeze through, but it had to be enough.
,,Merethicus! Intruders!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. His captors glared at him angrily and he bared his teeth in return.
,,Don't expect me to act like a good little Argonian and do whatever you tell me to do."
Semir Grey, Off the Argonian coast.
Semir warmed his hands at the lantern in his cabin. He'd dried himself off with a towel as good as he could and changed into a new set of clothes. The flag he'd taken from the ship was spread out on the table.
,,So, none of the crew ever saw this writing before?" He asked the first mate, an Orc covered in scars and with only two teeth remaining.
,,None of them recognized it. Not that they need to. Snakepeople, they have to be from Akavir." The green man growled.
,,Well, not our problem anymore. They drowned, we didn't. That's all there is to it. I do have to admit that we were lucky. If we hadn't caught them by surprise, they might have killed some good sailors. Damn, those snakes sure know how to fight." Semir replied casually.
He stood up and looked out of the window at the ship's stern.
,,Akavir, they're quite a bit away from home. I wonder what they were looking for here." He snapped his fingers as he made up his decision.
,,Get those who've swam before to switch back to their wet clothes. We've got a sunken wreck to explore and treasure to seek! I'll join the hunt as well." He ordered with an excited gleam in his eyes that the first mate knew only too well. It was the gleam of his treasurehunter spirit.

Flogir
Flogir was just about to suggest that Flint stay and guard since he was injured and that he would go and help the others when the Argonian called out for help.
Flogir punched the Argonian right in the snout. "Shutup! The exit's blocked anyway. No one is getting in here."
Unfortunately, that seemed to not be the case and he saw an man decked out in Bonemold armour squeeze through the opening. Flogir turned Iceshard upon the newcomer.
"I'm sorry, pal, but we need to ask our friend here some questions. He just needs some incentive since he hasn't been very agreeable. I suggest you just leave us alone and be on your way. I'm not interested in torturing, so long as he helps us out," Flogir explained, his eyes slitting dangerously, "Unless, you wanna volunteer yourself for our little questionaire."

Rann walked past Serene and Issac, getting a bit restless at the fact that they were standing around talking while Satyana was in danger. He couldn't believe that Issac didn't feel the same.
"When these two godly drinks wear off, I'll be less than useless so we should probably move a bit faster." he said without losing a step.
Rahvin
Rahvin was disappointed that his efforts at peace-making weren't working, but didn't show it. He fell in line behind Brianna as she walked past, thinking it best to keep moving. Cheydinhal's ruins weren't exactly ideal for cheerful spirits, and the looming Valus Mountains didn't look much better.
"Bree, if you know something to make this a bit easier," he said, bringing up the earlier topic, "It'd be great if you'd share."

"Iīm sorry Rahvin, Iīll try to restraint myself from now on. But strange memories keep coming back to me, thatīs why I sometimes get really frustrated!"

Still, the fact that he could simply buy the information they sought would be much better and simpler than beating the information out. He still have 1000 septims left of the Countess' reward money on his person for helping out during Karn's attack.

,,Ok, first one. Do you know the Silhouette's real plan? No offense, but for someone who supposedly leads you around, he does seem to be doing a good job at ignoring his army. I think that you and everyone else around here is just a decoy."

"You have a point. Have you seen his army? It's...well, rabble, with a few exceptions like me. There are barely any organized units to speak of. Commanders are just randomly given troops, sorted by type, and all missions are purely destructive. He doesn't mean to gain power. He doesn't mean to carve out a kingdom for his own. For that, he'd need organized troops, with better discipline. He'd need an administration. No, our friend's out for destruction, pure and simple. He does not intend to hold anything...and the simple-minded fools he has gathered to him will do this without thought, thinking only of the occasional shiny trinket looted and pockmarked peasant woman raped."

Flogir
Flogir lowered his sword realizing that the stranger was going to cooperate. His response was frightening. This was some radical movement if the only motive of the enemy was pure destruction. Perhaps Mehrunes was influencing this massive assult upon Cyrodiil. Maybe this "Silhouette" was purely a contruct of the Lord of Destruction; a way of vengeance for foiling him in the Oblivion Crisis.
"Do you know the next course of action for the Silhouette's army? Do you know where they'll strike next?" Flogir decided to ask the mercenary.

"Uh, ok," Soldin acknowledged just as Ian disappeared. He liad Satyana down gently on her back and collapsed next to her. His muscles ached and his back hurt from carrying someone while hiking. Sweat dripped down his face to the cool ground as he lied there, breathing heavily.
He thought for a moment about what happened, the events that caused this chance meeting and where it would take him. He felt a sudden spine chilling ping, an incromprehensible voice, speaking in nothingness predicted his death with these people. His head jerked to look at Satyana as if checking for the same look of disbelief that he himself gave; checking to see if she heard this 'voice' too.
Seeing her calmed him, though. He felt a veil of serenity as he gazed at her; a feeling he could not recognize nor describe...

She fired three others all around one of the flashing shapes.

Ian, feeding
The deer was still there, still munching on a shrub obvious to its stalker.
The vampiric instincts were taking over. Mephala take me, I can hear that thing's heartbeat
Ian let himself fall head first into the feral thing inside his head.......
He flashed past it; the animal scrambled through the brush in a panic at the sudden movement, and the vampire enjoyed appearing before it and frightening the creature.
Finally he landed beside it, grabbed it by the antlers, and snapped its neck.
The hunter sunk its fangs into the deer's neck and he drank deeply of its spoils.
As Ian finished he realized that neither of his companions could eat this creature's bloodless meat.
Issac, with Rann and Serene
Breaking his long silence, Issac stopped. There was noise coming from the wilderness.
"Do you two hear that?". He asked.
Karn
His copies were neant to confuse any who could detect them, but when a salvo of lightning bolts knocked one out of the air and provoked the others to attack, he hung back.
Karn pulled away from the edge and cast invisibility upon himself. When he looked back at the scene, he noticed that the brutes of the army were almost knipping at the intruder's heels.

Without hesitation he cast invisibility on himself and charged into the brush. All right, just follow me like a normal head-strong assassin.......
Issac, with Rann
Just clearing the shrubs in his way by the time Rann had addressed the figure, and the said person vanished, Issac paused to ivaluate the dear. There wasn't a lot of blood, and the neck was bent at an odd angle so to a practioced eye it appeared the creature's neck had been rung.
Quick, bloodless...... but the two punture wounds in its neck caught his attention. Bloodsucker, vampire by the looks of it!
"We'd better follow, can't risk it attacking us later." Issac advised, gesturing to the trail of footprints.

He knew that they were pursuing him, but they were supposed to. Good chase me right to her, he thought to himself. Ian moved with bursts of blurred speed, faster than a normal eye could track effectively. Only becoming a blur when he stopped or paused to change direction; he left deep gouges in the trees he passed to make his trail more obvious.
Finally he reached the clearing and swung to lose all his speed, recasting his invisibility. Now, you can all reunite.......

Quickly, yet clumsily, Soldin got to his feet and drew a small hunting knife that was clearly not intended for use in armed combat.
He pointed it towards the newcomer and formed the words, "Who goes there?" only to notice too late that only self-righteous legionnaires used that akward phrase.

Issac, the clearing with Rann, Soldin, and Satyana
He hadn't expected Rann to suddenly stop like he had, and had skidded to a halt as a result. But he only moved a little farther than Rann had.
Issac was just as surprised by the sight, wait, was that vampire leading us here to find Satyana? He had no idea if this was true, but he thanked any dieties that had diegned to give them such fortune.
There was also a younger lad, maybe in his mid-teens, he looked wasn't like any single human race in appearance. Issac could tell he'd probably never lived outside the wilderness before......
When he asked who they were, Issac stepped forward tryiong to not appear threatening. "My name is Issac, and this is Rann. We're friends of Satyana." It occured to him that Satyana might not have given her name to the boy, but it was worth a try anyway.
(Bedtime, guys)

Soldin
Soldin lowered his knife and looked around for someone he thought he could trust. Ian... He took a step back and looked back at Satyana lying on the ground. Seeing no better course of action, he decided to trust the two. "She's very ill. Poison, no doubt." He resheathed his knife.
Veric
Veric returned to the main floor of the university and entered the library, where Voltar had said he would be. Several minutes had passed before Veric called out to the bookshelves, "Are you ready, Voltar? I'm sure Karn is expecting us."
(OOC: voltar is in the university library, right?)

"Good question. How about because it's too bloody dangerous to even get out of these mountains alive on my own, let alone the entire province? And then what? Everyone else is running around without their wits about them, leaving them easy prey for the Silhouette's forces..."

Issac
He nodded, and gave Soldin his most trusting smile, not that he was being dishonest, but they needed the boy's trust. Poison, this certainly ruins finding her so soon..... Issac looked back toward the brush and yelled, "Serene, we found Satyana!"
"I have very little knowledge of healing, so I can't be of much help to her."

Rann
"And I know even less." he said, kneeling down on one knee beside Satyana. "Maybe Serene will know what to do. She can't be far back."

Satyana, dwelling in the shadows, between life and death
Who?? Is it? Oh can it be.....Rann?...And Issac?...ohhhhhhhhhh
Satyana was not entirelr conscious, she was living in a sort of dreamland, not knowing where she was or just anything. She was in a tunnel, but at the end she saw a light..a light that tried to make her come to it.Oh it would be so nice to just let go, but then there were these voices..these familiar voices . They stopped her from going, they urged her to get back......
Satyana moved her dry lips, trying to form some words
Rann? Issac? Nothing more than a faint whisper it was....
Serene, catching up
"Hey...where are you Rann....?? Issac? Whatīs up, have you found her?"
She burst out in the clearing and stopped. Rann kneeling beside a lifeless figure lying on the ground, Issac standing beside..and a young boy..looking almost scared when she appeared this sudden...
"Satyana!!!!" Serene rushed to her side "Poison, no doubt" she said "I wonder what kind....maybe that vampire can be of some help...I need some blood from her...now!"

Flint Ironwood, getting ready.
Flint looked at the gap in the ceiling.
,,I don't know what you want to do, but I'm going back up there and help out those young fellows. Don't get in our way." He spoke. He then stepped closer to Flogir.
,,Need a hand getting out?"
Semir Grey, Argonian coast.
The last of the wet crew climbed up the rope ladder, hefting a heavy chest on one shoulder. Semir had already retreated to his cabin. From up on deck, he heard the excited shouts of his men as they divided the treasure. He himself held only a soaked piece of paper which to him was worth more than any treasure at the moment. He carefully spread it out on his table. While the water had washed away most of the ink, he could still vaguely make out lines.
His finger trailed one of those lines, seeing how it went from an unknown continent which had to be Akavir to the place where they were now. A second line, in a different colour proceeded through the land. He froze when he saw where that line was headed. Cyrodiil.
The Breton bolted out of his cabin.
,,Alright, clear up this mess! We'll continue with the dividing later! Now though, we need to set a course. I want us to go to the Illiac Bay, at best possible speed! If any of those damn snakes or even the Imperial navy tries to stop us, we'll go straight trough them." He ordered around. While the pirates complained loudly, they went to their task without hesitation. Semir was usually easygoing. When he got serious like this though, it was best to trust his judgement without questions.

Ian, uncertain
The woman's words didn't make sense, how could I possibly help? Vampires take blood not give blood as far as I know...... Ian furrowed his invisible brow and worked his jaw idly, thinking.
Then he decided to simply ask what this woman wanted him to do. "I only know how to take blood, but I am willing if you have a way." Ian shed his veil and jumped down from the treebranch.

Serene
She looked at the vampire with a slightly amused smile, of course he didnīt know what she meant, but she tried to explain it;
"You have fangs, right? So then please draw some blood from Satyana.....but donīt drink it by all means, just spit it out in this!" She showed him a small bowl...
"Now do not get a taste for her blood, because you are certainly not allowed to feed on her! Ah I know thereīs a faint risk of her getting a fling of Lycanthropy but I know how to handle that!!"
"What I need is a sample of her blood to determine which poison sheīs got, and you Mr Vamp, you beware because I donīt think drinking her blood is very good for you either!"
