"Ah, if it isn't Anthanes." Niran said, unsheathing his sword, even though his arm still hurt a bit after it was healed by Serene.

He kicked Anthanes in the stomach and put his sword to his throat.

"Now, three reasons I shouldn't kill you. Come on now, be hasty."

Sel put his own sword to Niran's throat.

"One."

(OOC: That was kinda cool.)

Niran's eyes looked down at Sel's blade, and he removed his sword frome above Anthanes neck.

"You'll regret this Sel, letting someone like him live."

"Hmm. You know what? Kill me. I can't think of any reasons. Maybe I'll have my vengeance on Arcyakt as a ghost instead. Has some additional benefits too, being a ghost, when it comes to getting vengeance. Though not very on any other part. Come on, kill me. I know you want to."

Sel put his sword away. "Maybe. Maybe not." he replied to Niran. "but everyone deserves a second chance."

Niran smiled, almost evily.

"Oh really," then he shoved Sel down and threw his dagger at Sel's hand, the one he held his sword with.

"That should occupy you for awhile."

Then he put his sword back at Anthanes throat

"Come now, you still have to give me three reasons."

"Bastarde." Sel spat at Niran while pulling the dagger from his arm. "Now I'm thinking that we'll regret it letting you live." he said, wincing and bleeding profusely.

He threw the dagger as far away as he could before putting his sword into his left hand.

"I guess this duel has been long delayed..."

"Kill me, Niran. I know you want to. Why should I keep living? I was only out for self-preservation after all..."

Niran responded without looking away from Anthanes

"Sure, after I kill this freak, I'll deal with you. Dunmer scum."

(OOC: Now Anthanes sounds like Niran )

OOC: yah i was thinking that anthanes was beginning to sound like Niran at the cave.

IC: Megil knocked an arrow into this bow,

"Let him go Niran, if you don't I'll shoot, and at this close of a range the arrow will fly so fast you will hve no time to block it."

Megil aim with surgical precision for Nirans neck,

"You have gone absolutely mad, look at you. You stabbed Sel you've fought with konrad, now what are you going to go after Celia next. We are all on the same side here, we are all against arkaytc(sp.), and we are going to need all the strength we can get to bring him down. Now I don't want to shoot you, but trust me I will not hesitate when the time comes."

All of a sudden, Anthanes' feet raised from the ground as he gave a lightning-fast and rather painful kick to Niran's groin with his boots. Hoping to have bought a few seconds of time, he gets himself up and draws his silver longsword. "If that's the way you want it then..."

Sel didn't move, letting it play out. Anthanes scored a nasty hit to Niran - that would be hurting for awhile.

He held his arm close to his stomach, trying to stem the blood flow.

(OOC: I'll let all of you imagine what Niran's reaction to the blow from Anthanes was, but as for Megil)

"I find it funny that you would kill me for this bastarde, no wait. It's believable, all of you want to kill me. Go ahead and shoot." However, Niran had moved when struck by Anthanes (that was just wrong!) and the arrow would now hit his shoulder.

"Shoot, because I'm sure as hell not going to stop."

Anthanes dropped himself into a combat stance, preparing to block Niran's strikes with his longsword. Despite his lack of magic he was still a rather capable warrior. "Strike the first blow, Niran..." , the Half-Dunmer grunted.

OOC:


IC:
This man was mad, absolutely crazy. There was no choice now but to physically stop him. He didn't want to kill Niran, but he was going to far, this would be the third injury to be inflicted in one day all from fighting within the group. Even though he hated to do it he knew he had to. He aimed lower down and sent an arrow at Nirans leg, right above the kneecap. It wouln't be lethal but it would disable him. as the first flew fromt eh bow he knocked another one in place and aimed for his other leg. He let the second arrow go too.
Megil then yelled, "Celia, Serene we need your aid up here. Bring all your healing herbs, potions and scrolls."

Niran found himself unable to stand and he fell to the ground, this was very annoying.

"Damn you Megil, you stupid interfering idiot!"

I'll go after you next

OOC: I'm logging off now

Anthanes shaked his head watching Niran become incapicated. "Think before you act...And sorry about those wounds" , he said, appearantly sincerely as he donned his cloak and began walking into the Ashlands...Into the nearest concealed position where he continued watching them undetected.

Sel was half tempted to shove his sword into Niran's arm, but resisted, and instead spat on him while he was lying down on the ground.

"Sorry, but I need this too." he said as he tore off a large portion of Niran's sleeve to use as a bandage for his own arm.

(OOC: Well there goes another poriton of it, the first part was when Konrad cut his stomach! The shirt he's wearing isn't exactly inexpensive, his father was a merchant after all. They were very wealthy.)

Niran spat back.

"And you'll be mending it, idiot."

Niran attempted to stand and used a tent as support, it seemed steady enough, and he still had his sword.

He thrust at Sel, directly as his stomach, catching him unprepared.

Megil's face was quite stern. He watched Niran struggle to stand up and Sel walking away. All he had to say was,

"Niran, if anyone is an idiot it is you. I warned you, and I could tell you expected it to be an empty threat. now you know that I take my threats very seriously. In combat I will not hesitate. As much as I hate to say it, you deserved both of those shots."

With that Megil headed back towards the fire hoping to get Serene or Celia to come and help. He left the fool leaning against the post unable to walk for two arrows stuck above the kneecaps.

Sel grabbed Niran's sword, ignoring the pain in his hand, and tore it from his grasp.

"I'll be damned if you're getting this back." he said as he tried to find one of the healers in the group.

Niran watched as they walked away, when they were out of view he pulled the arrows from his leg.

And stabbed them into his stomach.

(OOC: Uh oh! Better hurry and find those healers, or he's dead. )

OOC: holy poop! Niran is no longer homicidal....he's suicidal!

I say we let him die....he's getting annoying.

OOC: OMG wow Niran.

IC: Megil turned to see Sel walking towards the fire as well. He also saw as Niran pulled the arrows out of his legs. Then Megil dropped his bow when he saw what Niran did next.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" he yelled, then started running back towards him.

The fool is killing himself

Megil ran past Sel and quickly told him,

"Run, quickly go find a someone anyone in the camp that can help. these people must ahve a local healer of witchwoman."

He began sprinting the rest of the way to Niran and knealed down next to him.

"Why, why are you doing this." Megil looked for something he could use to bandage up the man, seeing nothing he ran into the yurt and came out with some cloth. he saw Fenris give Niran a healing potion. Megil then began to cut strips and began bandaging Nirans legs. If anything it would hold back some of the bleeding. He left the arrows inside, because pulling them out would just damage the man more.

OOC: whoops entirely forgot to type posting >.<. but it really shouldn't matter. BUt JIC i edited it to fit fenris into the picture

OOC: Oh, that's real funny. Anyway, I'll be logging off here in a few minutes, so hurry up and post so I can sleep.

A mailed hand grabbed Niran by the chin/mouth roughly, forcing a healing potion into his mouth and pouring the conternts down his thought. "Damnit boy, what is wrong with you?!" Fenris said, tossing the empty bottle away. Several more were visible from a satchel at his side, which bore the Redoran symbol, a bettle like insect. In Fenris's left hand was a Redoran banner sheild. Obviously these items had come off those unlucky enough to have died in the battle before.

"I swear, i've seen less suicidal Cliffracers."

"Stop it!" Niran spat angrily, punching at Fenris.
"Damnit stop it!" he kicked at Megil before collapsing.

(OOC: And that's where I'll leave it. Night all. Oh wait, don't forget, keep all weapons away from him for a while. )

When Megil had yelled, he was actually debating on whether or not he should actually fetch the healer - Niran was pushing it lately by stabbing him, threatening to kill Anthanes, even having the nerve to bring up his sister as an insult...

Luckily, he didn't have to make the decision - Fenris and Megil had it under control.

Sel sat by a fire and tried to relax for a second.

Fenris's head jerked to the side from the force of the punch, and he stumbled a little, but otherwise the solidly built Nord didn't move. "Seriously, what is your problem boy? There are much better solutions than killing yourself. Besides being cowardly, suicide is selfish. You know that right? Do you think Celia would be happy to know you killed yourself? Or anyone else for that matter?" Fenris reasoned.

Niran just barely replied, going unconcious

"I'm sure Celia would have been extremely happy, had you let me die!"

OOC; that ahd to hurt to quick with deep puncture wounds about each knee,

Megil dodged the badly aimed kick. and resumed bandaging the knees up. The healing potions Fenris had given him would probably sustain Niran until a healer arrived. He began to wonder if he had done the wrong thing by shooting Niran, but he argued with himself that at the time it was the only option that he knew would work.

Sel hid Niran's sword before wlaking back to where he was being tended.

"So, how's the little bastarde doing?" he asked Megil coldly as he began wrapping the piece of Niran's shirt around his dagger wound.

Jonacin had followed Serene back to the camp, and looked on dispassionately as Fenris and Megil tried to help Niran after the fool had tried to kill himself.

Serene went forward to where Niran was lying.

Crazy Fool. she thought, just causing a lot of extra work..maybe i have to have a go with his mind as well.....

She neeled beside him.......put her hand on the wound in his stomach.....the arrows had caused great damage, the transveres part of his colon was severely disrupted and it´s conten was now floating freely in his abdomen and would cause him a severe infection...she had really no gear for this healing and doubted normal energy-healing really would work...

Anyway she decided to give it a try.....but before starting she put some pulverized marshmerrow into the wound and also gave Niran some of that white powder she gave Sel before.

Then she started the slow healingprocess by putting both her hands on the wound..chanting

OOC: she had given that to Niran before...he's been injured a lot in an hour...

Sel moved out of the way of the healers while clutching his arm - the bandage had done nothing to stem the blood flow, and it was dripping with the red substance.

When Serene arrived, Megil stepped back and gave her space. He began looking for someplace to wash his hands which were covered with blood. seeing none, he grabbed some extra cloth and used it to wipe the blood off. He then walked over to Sel, picking up his bow onn the way.

"Who the hell does that?" Sel asked, quite astonished.

All that served to do was cause some pain and drain Serene's energy. he thought. If he wants to die so badly, why don't we just let him?

The bandage wasn't working anyway, so Sel tok the opportunity to take it off and inspect his wound. The dagger had gone all the way through his forearm, luckily for Sel, it had gone numb awhile back, though it was still bleeding.

All he could do was grip his arm tightly with his other hand, and hope to stem the bloodflow until Serene finished with Niran - he hadn't seen Celia in a long time.

"A man who has gone through alot in a day, and one that is also half-crazed" Megil said

He saw the wound Sel suffered and wondered why the blod hadn't started to slow down. Worried he went of to find some mroe cloth that could be usd as a bind the wound until serene could get to it.

Anthanes frowned a bit as he looked out over the camp from a nearby hill. They'd better start tracking Arcyakt soon.

OOC: well we are currently suffering from a very seriously injured Niran, and a wounded Sel. Kind of difficult to go tracking someone now.

IC: Megil managed to obtain cloth and some bread from one of the locals, and shortly returned to the campfire to find Sel looking a bit pale, holding his wound shut with his hand,

"Here Sel, I'm going to tie this around your arm in hopes to slow the bleeding. now it's got to go on tight so it might hurt"

He tore of a strip and wrapped it tightly aroun Sel's arm, he then proceeded to tie a knot. he tightened it as tight as he could without cutting of the circulation to the rest of the arm.

"that should hopefully slow the bleeding down some until Serene can get to you. In the meantime eat this,"he said handing Sel a piece of bread, "It will give you some energy."

"Thanks." he said before he began nibbling on the bread.

"Nothing I can, or even really want to do here. I'm going to go get a bath and clean this hole in my arm while I'm at it." he said as he walked towards the camp.

Osano watched the events that were happening at the camp. He nearly broke out laughing when Niran was kicked in the groin and had to cover his mouth to keep his position concealed. He saw Niran try to kill himself and the small uproar it caused in the group. They will never manage to kill Arcyakt if they continue fighting amongst themselves. Ever since I arrived all they have managed was to bicker at eachother; especially Niran. They would be best off to just leave him there.

Serene was done with Niran....she couldn´t do anymore for him....his wound was healed, but she coudn´t guarantee anything about the internas damage..there might be something that she couldn´t heal......

She reached for her backpack and inhaled some white substance....thoroughly avoidint the others to actually see that action....

Then she stretched her back..her euyes had got a new glance..and so she approached Sel...

"Sel....let me see that wound of yours...." She loosened the bandage that Megil had tied around Sel´s arm, thinking that this action probably saved the dunmer from severe bleeding...maybe it saved his life..

Then she gently grabbed his arm and stroke it several times..until the wound closed and no more blood was coming...

"There my friend.....she said with a tired smile....now you´ll be fit again...

"Thanks." he said, flexing his hand.

"I'm still going for that bath, though."

"Bath?" Who said bath, Serene was mmediately alert, oh I´d like a bath as well, can I join you she smiled.....

Sel raised an eyebrow. "Erm...yeah." he said, suddenly glad that his dark skin hid blushes...

(OOC: Osano's post gave me an idea . . .why don't you leave Niran at the camp to avoid further fighting within the group.)

Niran didn't move, though he wasn't dead. However, he was having a strange dream, very strange indeed . . .

Ahh nice...Serene followed Sel quite happy with the thought of getting a nice cleanup of herself..it didn´t first occur to her that Sel might be a bit embarrassed with havin her with him..but after a while she understood..

"Why Sel if you mind me coming, just tell me, i dont mind...but it seems like we´ve been through a lot so it shouldn´t matter really....also hmm I´ve almost been inside your head as it is...

She touched Sel´s arm very lightly....

"Whatever." he said with a shrug. "If you want to, come. If not, don't."

Ok....she said....i just don´t want you to dislike me.....

she bowed her head...
