Megil picked up his bow and jumped ashore.

he followed the others from a distance, staying quiet, and looking at his surroundings.

Anthanes followed the group, gaze fixed on Megil as though looking for a suitable opportunity to eviscerate the dunmer whom had killed someone he considered close to being a friend.

OOC: What's all this about Dagon Fel? the place on the map we're headed for is on the main island of Vvardenfell, pretty much directly southwest of Ald Daedroth. Maybe i should have mentioned that........

OOC: the word "northwest" was used, I believe....

EDIT: Yep vvv you were right soulseeker - dagon fel is right.

(OOC I heard people say Dagon fel and I went with it...)

Red was never meant to say that, because we should never have been headed in that direction in the first place. Like i said, i should have mentioned it

OOC:we Should move this sonversation to the planing thread... *hint* *hint*

Shakur jumped off the boat, eating some of the fish he had caught the previous day, while the un-eaten fish was stored safely inside of his pack. He watched Konrad and stayed safely just behind him. If he tried anything on Celia, or more likely Serene, shakur would cast his favourite spell, frost of shock, which would cause large areas of frostbite and possibly cause hyperthermia. It was a bit harsh, but it was a very useful spell and got the job done.

Jonacin sighed, shook his head and got off the boat. Visiting Dagon Fel was an unneccessary side-trip, but the others seemed intent on it so he tagged along

Jonacin? are you ok? Serene saw Jonacin was not happy with the place they had arrived to....what was this all about really? brrrr luckily Shakur was near.....he was prepared to cast some spell if necessary..she could feel that


Serene put her hand in Jonacin´s looking at him a bit worried..he looked a bit angry in fact

Otik walked up a hill and saw a group of animals. He said a shott prayer to Hircine and slayed all of the beasts, got all the meat and gathered some of the plants in the clearing. After a while of exploring Otik saw a dwemer Ruin. As he turned around to get back to camp, he noticed he was completly lost.

Drat, now what god or godess do I pray to so I find my way, Akatosh? no thats not his job, Kynareth? no he air, dang it I wish I paid more attention in class. Wait! air, I still have the belt of levetation.

Otik put on his belt and moments later he was in the air and then he saw the landing party, he then dove though the air and landed neatly by the group and walked over and said, "Well I found some dwemer ruins, and I got some more grub"

Shakur was confused, this was not the hideout, this was Dagon Fel, the fishing island. Why was everyone so needy to hit this land? Sea sickness? Shakur payed the docking fee and sat close to Konrad.

Alton rubbed his chin for moment, sucking up the intrikit(SP) details of the map. Ebonhart would be the most difficult he judged, then Vivic, Pelegiad, and then Seyda Neen. He thought for a moment then looked up,
"These castles, and cantons will be difficult to breach. Difficult, yet not impossible. My lord Arcyakt, how much time untill the invasion should start and end? To be able to take such mighty fortresses I'll need a few dissedent occupants." He waited for the answer, and then brought up his strategy.

"Vivec, and Ebonhart will fall first. I will force them into a trap, let them flee from their mighty walls, and cut them down like the dogs they are. Pelegiad and Seyda Neen will be mop up campaigns." He thought for a moment, "What of Vivec, surely he is weakened, but very deadly..?"

Osano listened to Arcyakt's plans intently. "How many soldiers to each of us are we talking about here? And what of our troublemakers up north? Are they last, or are you leaving the fun part to yourself, Arcyakt?" Osano thought for a moment, "Yes, I suppose I'll start at Balmora and Moonmoth, then on to Caldera, Ald' ruhn, Gnisis and Buckmoth, and finally Maar Gan.

sasal awoke from his sleep and packed his things and prepaired for a long flight to ebonheart to report to his ranking officers there

he dispelled his flame atronach with a flick of his wrist, and it dissapeared into magical nothing-ness

sasal mounted his dragon with swiftness and silence, not before making a quick prayer to st. indoril and st. nerevar for safe passage to ebonheart " oh st. nerevar and st. indoril, please grant me safe passage on my flight to ebonheart"

after his prayer, sasal wondered who would he have to report to at ebonheart as he and his dragon took off

Rycarin had woke up, and jumped off the boat. He looked at the landscape, swamp, trees, swamp and .. more swamp. Ugh. He walked slowly towards the others.

Arneth went ashore as well after the others, as confused he where he stood outside of the group. They had letten him come into the group so he didn't want to be a problem, they surely had enough. So he waited for the others to take on lead...

Why Dagon Fel, where could this Arcyakt be hiding anyway... Whats his plans? Arneth thought, he didn't know how long these people have been hunting this mage but his apperance on Ald Daedroth, he didn't actually look intimidated by us. Maybe his plan is ready..?

"What're we doing here anyway? I don't see Arcyakt here." , Anthanes exclaimed. As usual, he seemed to be following the majority mainly out of mob mentality.

"I'm not sure, but i don't think any of us know where the mage is, unless you have some inkling of an idea as to his location." Megil replied to Anthanes.

He will begin his invasion soon Sheo. told him

Konrad walked slightly away from the group and drew his sword.

He turned 90 degrees to the right and brought his sword p so it was parrallel to the ground. He then span and arced the blade around his body until it was the same height as his last swing. He then rolled forwards then jumped as he exited, slashing his sword down into the swampy ground and submerging the tip.

York looked carefully at the map as Arcyakt told him what he was to do,

"I understand what I am to do...but how long do we have to prepare for our parts in this?" York asked

Sadrith Mora? That place is huge...perhaps if we enter from the west then we can catch the Imperials at the fort off guard...I hope.

York played dozens of scenarios through his head trying to find the best plan of attack, trying to find a way in through the town's rugged terrain that might surprise the Imperials.

Mage



"I will deal with Vivec before I help York defend against the Telvanni magic." Arcyakt answered. He had thought of sending Slogon after him, but that was too risky.



"You will each have around four thousand constructs to command." he answered. "And those fools aren't our mission anymore - until they try to interfere."

"Fine." he answered. "I am sending Slogon with you, because I won't be there to help you as much as the others."



"Do whatever you find necessary. Just do not fail." Arcyakt said.

He looked around to all three of his companions. "Just remember," he said. "Contact me after each battle so that I can repair the constructs."

and resurrect the people you kill... he finished in his head.

After hearing Arcyakt's response he continued to look at the map,

"I will not fail you Arcyakt...trust in that..." York said quietly

First...we should strike the telvanni strongholds to get rid of the leaders, they'll probably be the hardest...or should we just move slowly and take whatever is in our path first? Seems that we have enough men for the job but once a few of the towns are destroyed what if the remaining are moved to one town and they make a stand?

York tried to make a foolproof plan so that he could prove his worth to Arcyakt and one of his less than friendly companions, Alton.

"Arcyakt, what of the telvanni wizards? You will handle them right?" York wondered how Arcyakt would kill such renowned wizards, not having heard of Arcyakt's reputation.

I hope Arcyakt is as good as he puts himself off to be...he's gonna have to be to take all those wizards.

York continued looking at the map trying to imagine where each town would make it's stand...

Obviously Tel-vos will fortify it's castle...and Sadrith mora will retreat to the fort...I have no idea what the others will do...Tel Mora is virtually undefended, they would have no chance...perhaps it would be best to attack it first...but if they attacked the most fortified first they wouldn't be ready, they'd have to scramble to their positions.

"It would be best to attack Sadrith Mora now before they have a chance to ready their defenses and pick off the smaller towns afterwards." York said

OOC:There happy Megil?

Sel noticed that Konrad had separated from the group a little bit. That was good - he wasn't right behind Celia anymore.

He began walking towards Dagon Fel.

OOC: we are moving. Or Sel is, anyway.

Shakur walked forward with Sel, hoping the others would follow. He also kept an eye on Konrad, just in case he tried anything.

Serene was also pleased Kanrad was a bit apart......safer for Celia that way...and for herself as well.

She also thought of preparing her levitation-shoes..just in case ther was any flying to come...hopefully the others have their enchanted clothing still ....then something struck her..
Shakur! he didn´t have ant flying-device.....oh she searched her bckpack and found an old ring..maybe it still contained some enchantment.....she chanted an enchantment spell over it anyway..just in case, she didn´t want anything bad to happen to Shakur..

"Here", she said to the young redguard...you may need this one....eventually"

"What's that do?" Sel asked, curious.

OOC: Sel didn't get a levitation item either...

Konrad withdrew his blade from the ground and continued training, practising the more gymnastic part of fighting. He was soon tired, and sheathed his sword. He mumbled something slightly and a small ball of water appeared above his head then dropped onto it. He gasped at the coolness then walked back to the group, looking back at the horizon.

Anthanes scoffed. "Hrmph. Constantly effective levitation items are only for the non-battlemagical layman. Every self-respecting arcanist knows a spell that does the same. ... got any items like that left?"

Shakur examined the ring, and judging by the colour and amplitude of the glow, it was used for levitation. "Thank you Serene, my Swift swim spell is considerably weak so this will help greatly" Shakur looked around at the considerably newer members and said "Anyone not have a way to cross the water to the island? Because I can personnaly carry one or two people".

Oh Sel....Serene looked at him.....you don´t have a levitation item either if i remember correct.... So she took out a pair of worn shoes......examined them and chanted over them..

"Here Sel" she said handing him the shoes....you are skilled enough to use shoes for levitation..it is trickier than other items you have to have good balance...

"I enchanted them with CE levitation so you won´t have to worry about the enchantment wearing off"

OOC: Why is Sel skilled in the art of shoe-leviataion?!

OOC: He´s been around for quite some time, and have had time to practise all kinds of skills...so Serene believes in him....

OOC: because he's an elf! - awesome balance!

IC

Sel took the shoes and put them in his pack - he didn't need them yet and he found his worn boots rather comfortable.

"Thanks." he said.

They were walking for a few minutes when a dwemer tower was visible. "That's one of the towers just outside Dagon Fel..."

Anthanes muttered, agitated. "Sure, don't give anything to the battlemage...The fact I know the spell is beyond the point."

"Oh stuff it Anthanes, besides we're already here."

Jonacin overheard Megil. "Actually Megil, the place we want to be is south of here on the main island of Vvardenfell"

"Really, what makes you so sure that Arcy will be sitting in that dwemer ruin that you handed me over to him in? Besides he almost ready to launch an attack on vvardenfell, he has three commanders and a unstoppable construct army...well nearly unstoppable."

Seeing that this would lead to question he quickly added.

"Oh I have my sources." then turned his attention to the dwemer towers coming up.

"Well Megil, while i can't be sure that's where he is, it's the best lead we've got right now"

"What a damned nut." Sel muttered. Construct army? Sources?

Sheogorath? he thought, but didn't voice.

"Yeah, if Jonacin knows where Arcyalkt at the very least, was we can figure out where he went," Fenris said. "Or figure out a way to stop 'im."

"You might as well find a guar excrement pile for hints on arcy's location."

"Its finalized then, Ebonhart will fall." Alton spun on his heel and turned to the hallway that led to the mirrors but not before knodding to each of his comrades, even york, "I trust one of these will carry me to my distenation?"

Reguardless of the answer he swiftly moved down the hall. When Alton entered the room filled with the magical mirrors he noticed that several were focused on the party of adventurers, he mumbled something to himself, "Damn you all, if you just searched for me, just ca..." It was cut off as he entered the mirror of Ebonhart.

Ebonhart, a few hours later..

A few gold peices slipped into the orks hand, "So.. What of the city's defenses?"

The ork whisper back in a voice that could of been considered a growl, "The imperials have roughly about 500 soldiers in the castle, close to 150 archers and a random lot the rest, maybe several knights too." The ork looked around nervously, "It seems that there are near 1000 soldiers outside in the field barracks."
Alton looked at him and promptly dropped several more gold coins into his hands, "And?"
"And.. Almost 1500 soldiers are on the march to switch out the guard for feild training."
"What of the governer?"
"Haven't seem him, couldn't tell you. Oh, also about ten imperial class battleships are moving in to resupply at the docks."
"Hmm, that could work" Already new plans were being formulated in Alton's military mind, "Do you know of any citizens or the sort that are upset with the empire?"
"Oh yes, many!" he exclaimed fairly excitedly, "The Commodus Family has publicly expressed their hate for the empire, and on numerous occasions have acted descret in their.. dealings?" The ork smiled, showing several lines of sharp teeth.
"Good, good.." Alton reached his arm around the ork, "Have you ever felt as though you've never been faithful to the empire?"
The ork seemed surprised but answered back confidently, "Yes, and I gain honor by doing that! What has the empire down for us!?"
"Dear me, Careful my friend" Alton pointed at a rock, and quickly changed directions of the two to head down a darkened alley way, "So you wouldn't consider yourself very trustworthy...."

Only one person left the alleyway.

"Dagon Fel will be no better, might as well at least act like we know what we're doing. I'm sick and tired of going off randomly and sitting on my boat. I'm not going to wait for him to come to us. We go there, find him, and kick his scrawny yellow boat."

"At this point it's inevitable that we run into him, it will only be a matter of a few hours before it starts."

Megil looked up at the sky,

"vvardenfell will have a red sky tonight"

"And you're just gonna sit here, and let him come, giving him the advantage? I don't think so. Not smart in the least," Fenris reasoned. "Let the sky be red. I really couldn't care."

"I'm not going to sit, but why search for something, that is coming for you anyways."

Megil's eyes glazed over and crackled blue.

"Your quest has failed, for tomorrow the sun will rise on a new vvardenfell." he said in a deep voice that seemed to make the earth tremor.

the blue faded and megil looked around him, not knowing what had jsut happened to him.

Sel nodded. He agreed with Fenris.

"Let's go then." he prompted, ignoring Megils "death doom and destruction" sermon - who would listen to a murdering lunatic anyway?

Otik heard all af this and was shoked at megil's speach, "What was that all about?"

Megil looked back at Otik,

"what was what all about?"
