OOC: As mentioned, Anthanes is slightly evil.[/quote]
OOC: That's not evil, it's just plain sick.

"Hrmph, no fun. Have it your waay, then."

Anthanes then sat down in a corner, looking bored.

(OOC: Sick, well there's a certain word for I can't type by law of the moderators on this forum.)

Niran said
"Fun, what the hell!!?? This isn't supposed to be fun!!"

OOC: Which is why i only said sick

Anthanes sneered at Niran, but decided not to debate on it further.

A pair of mailed boots were heard walking into the cave, followed by a mumble, the cave door opening and closing, then more walking. "You guys are damn annoying to track down, ya know?" Fenris said, coming into view.

[quote=LoneWolf]When they made it back to the camp, Jonacin ducked inside the Ghulakjan's Yurt. He asked if he could have some privacy with his friend's, and the Ashlander nodded and left. He called Arco and his companion inside.
"I suppose you want to know what's going on. And where Serene and Megil are"[/quote]
Arco sat down in the hut, laying his weapons aside...
"Yeah... I really want to know why you suddenlty appear and take Megil, before you teleport away?" Arco said, quite confused with all this. "And Serene...? She's safe?" Arco added and started looking around...

Anthanes grinned at the Nord.

"That's the idea."

Konrad tapped his boot against the foor getly as he sat hidden in a deep shadow.

"Hmmm, this is annoying. What in the world is going on?"

"Are any of you hungry," Calira asked the group.

Konrad shook his head, but it was not visible.

"i am too wary to eat at the moment thank you."

"Serene is in the Wise Woman's Yurt. She's unconcious, and has been for the last couple of days. Megil is..... Megil is imprisoned by Arcaytk. I had to trade him for Serene. She was captured in Ald' Ruhn"

[quote=Konradude]Konrad shook his head, but it was not visible.

"i am too wary to eat at the moment thank you."[/quote]

"Good, because we have nothing to eat."

-------------

Niran turned towards Fenris, "Really, we were trying to make it easy for us to be tracked by two hundred imperial guards." he said sarcastically.

Konrad laughed bitterly. "How have you staed alive then?"

"We used up the last of the food because we were going to head off, to the nearest town. There we would eat more." Calira said

"What? How did Arcyakt get his hands on Serene... We need to get Megil back, Arcyakt was very impressed that Azura spoke through Serene" Arco replied to Jonacin...

"If Megil is more important for him than Serene, its important for us too" Arco added grabbing his scimitars, and was pretty ready to leave... He was not angry on Jonacin, but he knew that they needed to get Megil back!

Celia shivered at the battlemage's idea of fun, but decided not to make a big deal about it. After all, the battlemage was on their side... at least, at the moment.

She walked up to Calira and the small girl. Crouching in front of the small girl, she smiled. "Hello, there! Where are you two from?"

She raised her eyebrows and commented strictly. "No offense, but you better get used to violence and weapons, because it's a vey rough world out there. Even in the good places. Werewolves, bandits, anything can be a threat, m'kay? And, of course, even good guys have to have weapons, if they want to survive."

She held out her expensive cloth, smiling, and offered it to the small girl. "I'm sure a few of these should buy you two some good food...."

Konrad watched celia's kindness and shook his head. "If you give everything away, you end up with notjhing. That's pointless. We should at least share what we give them." Konrad stood, moving out of the shadows. He fished around in his pack and took out 1000 septims, handing them over. "That's my share," he said to no-one in particular, then sat on a rock facing the exit.

(EDIT: I didn't know who Konrad gave it to, since you didn't specify)

"Well, of course, I am also thinking of the group... I have plenty of cloths, after all." She glanced down in surprise at the money Konrad had just handed to Calira(sp?).

She nodded, and smiled shyly at Konrad. "Why thank you, Konard. I guess there is something noble inside that heart, after all."

Konrad sighed, carefully sharpening his sword. "So what do we do now? Where are we going to find some food anyway?" he asked. He looked around at all the group, then brushed his hair over his eyes with his hand and got back to work.

Anthanes stroked his chin, thinking.

"Hmm...A couple years ago I knew an Ashlander who had a rather nice recipe for cliffracer...One day the cliffracers got him rather than the other way around...Quite a pity, really. I don't think the alternative of things we could hunt are much tastier..."

Celia raised an eyebrow at the battlemage. "Surely, there has to be some kind of civilization nearby, if we travel far enough...Or, we could try finding less... hostile creatures to hunt, if that's possible in this place..."

She winked at the small girl. "Ignore the crazy battlemage. He's just trying to scare you."

The little girl smiled

"I can beat him up.

----------------------
Niran looked strangely at her, just a little while ago she was terrified.

"Well, are we staying here to rest, or going somewhere else? I sitll have some questions for this honoured user here." Niran said pointing to the tied man.

Celia grinned at the small girl. "I'm sure you can! Just do it when he's sleeping."

She winked at the small girl again, and then turned to Niran. "Er, depends on what the others want to do. I suggest we bring these two to civilization and give them food, despite the risks involved."

Frowning, she asked Niran, "Whatever do you want to ask of this man? I mean, people are just plain cruel and evil everywhere, so why would you need to ask him anything?"

"Nothing any of you really need to know," Niran said trying not to sound rude.

[quote=gamer10]"Nothing any of you really need to know," Niran said trying not to sound rude.[/quote]

Celia doubted that the Imperial was just going to have a nice conversation. Perhaps, a conversation involving pain and torture. Niran is too much of a hot-tempered person to even have a normal, pleasant conversation, anyway.

Celia thought for a moment, then held out her hand to the small girl. "I think I better go outside during this... questioning. Want to come with?"

Konrad stood up. "Can I come with you Celia? I am not interested in anything that is done in cold blood."

Cold blood! What are they going on about?

Niran watched as they left.

Then bent closer to the slaver.

"How the hell did you know?!"

------------
"Know what . . oh your name. I should know shouldn't I, I used to own you. Surprise really that I still recognize you, it's your eyes no doubt."
-----------------
"Own me? I grew up in Skingrad, how the hell is this possible."
----------------
"I dumped you there, couldn't feed you anymore. I managed to sell your parents but not you. No one wanted a crying helpless baby who'd only be a lot of work."
----------------
"My parents are dead you honoured user!"
----------------
"Oh they probably are now, sold them to a rough fellow."
----------------
"Your a damned liar! I don't know how the hell you found my name, but -damn it I don't need to talk to you further."

Niran got up and went to the cave door, opening it to let the others back in.

Confusion was apparent on his face.

Outside, Celia noticed the door open behind her and turned around, anticipitating the worse. Niran was in the doorway, a strange expression on his face.

Curious, she asked, "So, how was your conversation? Er, anything wrong?"

"Nothing, but I think we have a moron tied up in the cave." Niran said walking back down to where he was and sitting against the wall a few feet away, keeping watch, and thinking. . . .

Shadow stood up. He said things that he felt were right, but wich he could have never thought would belong to him.
"I have no idea who is this Serene you speak of or what are you all up to, but I'm going to help as much as I can. We should move quickly. The mage seems to be a powerful opponent, much more powerful than myself. The only way to deal with those more powerful is to be faster. If speed and cunning are on our side, we might yet stand a chance to free Megil."

"I know where the mage is, but he keeps his prisoners in some kind of extra-dimensional cell. He's the only one who knows how to access it."

"Celia you asked me earlier where I grew up, what about you?" Niran asked.

Anthanes grinned at the tied slaver.

"Now, you should give me a VERY good reason not to deliver you to Boethiah, cur. I really hate slavers, you know."

He unsheathed his swords slowly.

The slaver grinned at the half-dunmer.

"Shut yer trap, ugly honoured user. If I weren't tied I'd teach you a lesson or two."

The man spit at Anthanes.

(OOC: Kill him, it'll add to the plot. )

"Oh, be still, fool. I doubt you are able to even hit anything beyond young girls, no? Or are you just too afraid?"

"Untie these ropes and we can have a fair fight, or are ya scared of me."

"I've seen more frightening things in old chamberpots. Is there a purpose to your rather unoriginal taunts? I tire of this, you know."

"Go to Oblivion ya stupid dunmer, yer a race of scum. "

"Oh? I am only half-dunmer, fool, and you're one of those providing the race of scum with slaves. Does that make you any better? Does it?!"

"At least I ain't freak like you, half-scum. That ain't even a race is it?"

"Do not insult those who are fully capable of killing you."

Anthanes twirled his swords around as he said this.

"Well that makes it a little hard..." Arco replied, thinking it there could be anyway to let Megil go...

"Shut yer mouth, again I say. Your just a strange freak and all, with those beasts ya summon."

[quote=Fuzzy Knight]
"Well that makes it a little hard..." Arco replied, thinking it there could be anyway to let Megil go...[/quote]"If i knew any way to get to the prisoners, I never would have traded Megil in the first place"

"Those 'beasts', as you prolably don't know in your absence of a brain, are the native denizens of oblivion. I would hate to have to give you as a present to a Dremora."

[quote=LoneWolf]"If i knew any way to get to the prisoners, I never would have traded Megil in the first place"[/quote]
"I know that Jonacin..." Arco replied, it made perfect sense.. Jonacin wasn't one of the stupid kind...

"Hmm, maybe its better to regroup with the others. Last I saw 'em Sel and Niran was on the run.. That moron killed two Imperial guards down at the Eight Plates, but dont now, maybe we can go to Ald'Ruhn and check the rumours?" Arco added, he was pretty sure they wouldn't be in Balmora, maybe Ebonheart. Captured, but they knew he was heading to Ald'Ruhn. If they had escaped it was pretty logical to come here...

"You can go, but i'm staying here with Serene until she wakes"

"Figures, evil honoured user."

"Evil? I don't see myself bullying girls. Now, give me one reason not to show you how your heart looks like when it's removed from your body."
