At least he doesn't have shield. Sel thought sarcastically.

Osano was definately stronger than Sel, but was he faster? He was also lugging around a heavy claymore, he would prbably get extremely tired...

"So are you going to swing at something, or am I supposed to be admiring the workmanship of your sword?" Sel asked.

Osano grinned at Sel's comment, "It is nice isn't it?" He swung downward hard at Sel. He figured that Sel would dodge it, few people would be able to block a sword that was that heavy especially one with Sel's build. If I could back him into a corner so he wouldn't be able to dodge it then i could break his guard and, uh...kick him or something. I don't want to kill him...

Sel merely side-stepped the blow, and as the huge claymore hit the ground, he sprung at Osano, with his sword slashing horizontally.

Jonacin kept fighting through the undead and constructs, and suddenly found himself facing Arcyatk. He called up his spirit arm and gripped the Blade in front of him with both hands. "This ends here Arcyatk" he growled

Osano barely ducked below Sel's attack and dragged his sword across the ground to try to trip Sel then threw a shoulder at him to knock him off balance--hopefully.

OOC: maybe we can end this tonight?

OOC: I was more setting myself up for Monday, but if Dantrag wants to end it he jsut has to make Arcyatk respond

OOC: Sel was jumping towards Osano, so I guess the tripping is out of the question...

Sel cursed himself when Osano avioded the blow, and then did it again when the larger dunmer knocked him back with his shoulder. Sel fell backwards, but went into a roll and came up shakily on his feet.

As Sel stood back up Osano charged at him hoping to catch him if guard and thrust his blade at him. "You know you may want to put your energy into your real enemy. Arcyakt is just outside of Ald'Ruhn."

"Bout time someone else arrived, I thought I'd have to kill him on my own.." Falx didn't know who came untill he looked at him, "Jonacin!? Ha, it's me Falx!"

Falx became more serious, "Shall we end this?"

"Falx?? But you died. I put my katana on your grave. How the hell are you here?"

"Hmm, Long story, I suppose when all of this is over, "Falx nodded towards Arcyakt, "perhaps we can here the tell over a glass of flin?"

Falx slowly started circling Arcyakt, then looked up at Jonacin and smiled, "So you and Serene..."

"Yeah, me and Serene. But let's save the talk for after we deal with this little annoyance" said Jonacin, advancing slowly on Arcyatk while circling to his right

Falx stepped closer towards Arcyakt, but nearly fell down when a massive surge of memory's came flooding in.

Give it up Falx, I've won, think of the power you have in me!

I've danced with darkness long enough, I am a Knight, protecter of the empire!

The empire that you were destroying not but several days ago? Hahaha

Die you foul bastarde!

You first

The pain grew even more horrible causing Falx to drop his sword and clutch his head.

Ahh! Why are you doing this to me! We are so close to the end! The end of Arcyakt!

That is exaclty why I'm stopping you! Without Arcyakt there is no power!

Falx seemed to enter his own mind in physical form, the emptyness of his mind was occasionaly blotted by the good thoughts, oasis's in the lands in the lands of the barren.

"So you've come?" Alton appeared in front of him, the entirity of the evil in his body.
"You have no claim to this place, it is mine! Die!" Falx lunged at Alton.

-==-

Falx lay on the ground curled up into a ball, he couldn't feel the outside world.

Jonaci looked on in shock as Falx suddenly collapsed to the ground, but he had to concentrate on Arcyatk

Ryan had folowed Osano into Under-Skar and was now watching him and sel fight.

"Hey Osano, u want some help?" He asked after Osano knocked sel to the ground.

Not waiting or an answer, Ryan went behind sel and tried to whack him in the back of the head with the blunt side of an axe.

Even if it only clips him, it should put him out like a light. Thought Ryan. After all this axe has a major fatiuge drain enchantment...hope it doesnt fo too much damage...

Sel ducked the blow from behind, and as he slashed his sword backwards, he shouted at Ryan.

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

He had his hands full with Osano, another member of the fight might make things difficult. Difficult can still be fun, Sel decided.

"Hey, your the one who started this fight," Ryan stated. "Im just helpin out a friend."

As he said this, Ryan was attacking with the blunt end of both of his axes, on going down at the head and the other went lower...

Osano grew tired of messing around with Sel and got back on track with what he was doing, "Sel, I'm on your side now! Look!" Osano stcuk his sword in the ground and rubbed his left arm against the blade causing it to bleed, "I'm mortal now!"

Celia's shoulders shot up in surprise. "Eeek! What are you doing to yourself?" She firmly grabbed Osano's arm, scolding, "Bad Dunmer! Do not do it again, or you will get a severe ear tweaking!" She healed the long slash in his arm.

"Yes, because we all know that I was the one who swung first." Sel said sarcastically as he half jumped, half fell backwards, avoiding the two axes.

Damn Arcyakt, stealing my dagger. Sel thought. He had needed that in quite a few fights now...

He was far enough away now to get a good look at his new opponent. How many axes did he have? Apparently he liked throwing them; never a good thing.

He turned to Osano. "Right, am I to just forget that you ever served Arcyakt? And I don't know enough about Arcyakt's enchantments to know if it allows you to harm yourself or not."

He smiled. "Maybe if I could harm you..."

OOC: Sel isn't exactly a trusting guy...

Whoa! MerGirl appeared out of nowhere!

Osano glared at Sel while Celia healed his arm. 'I would let you hurt me but you'd probably take off one of my hands. Besides, I don't think Celia would approve of it.."

Ryan stopped chucking axes, for now.

"Umm...guys is this going any were or will we just stay here trying to kill each other forever?"asked Ryan. "Now i dont care what you do...Ummm...what was your name any way?"

"Fine." Sel said, sheathing his sword. "What's next?" he asked, but he gave Osano a glare to show that he still wasn't trusted.

Seeing the dwindling number of enemies, Megil began to focus his fire towards Arcyakt, hoping the hailing arrows would distracts the mage long enough.

"Well, Arcyakt is presently just outside of Ald'Ruhn. If you would like to wtness this battle and get some oil on your sword then you should probably head outside. If not then I suppose you can stay in here and protect the wounded, but I am taking these men back out to the field," Osano said while rallying the men back up again, directing them outside, and started heading towards the exit.

Anthanes was still lying unconscious, though occasionally muttering incoherently, unaware of the world. "ungh... the mudcrabs... they're everywhere... argh... "

Serene heard some muttering, and so spotted Anthanes lying pretty unconscious...but muttering about mudcrabs....she went to him and neeled beside him

"Anthanes?, are you ok?"

Apparently he was not...so she laid her hands on him trying to get through to him.....also fortifying him as she suspected he was totally worn out.

To even more get him on hs feet she took out a restoration potion and lifted his head so she could pour the liquid down his throat.

"Anthanes, she said once more, wake up now, we have a mage to defeat"

Megil glanced behind his soldier when her heard someone talking,

"Why hello Serene, glad you could join us, about time someone tried to get him up, bit vulnerable oout here surrounded by constructs." he said firing the occasional arrow.

Of course at this point in time, the constructs around Megil and Otik, where just piled up hunks of scrap metal, and any undead were simply turned to ash, and no immediate threat was present, apart from mayb burying themselves in the corpses of the enemy.

Anthanes got up slowly, blinking. He then exclaimed another bit of nonsense:

"Mordenkainen, you whelp! Meet me at the Foyada Ashur-dan on the--- oh?"

The battlemage blinked and his eyes regained their focus.

"He still lives? DAMNATION! That was a foolish move- very foolish. I should not use an alpha spell in occasions with the urgency level of this one--...ahem. Does anyone have any VERY STRONG restore magicka potions on them?"

with his back to Serene and Anthanes, sine he was firing arrows into the enemy around them, megil said jokingly,

"you expected your spell to work? hmm wel, if anything you are the lucky one to be alive, you are lucky me and Otik saw your bit of magick and ran over to save you." Megil said rolling his eyes, not taht they could see it

"It should have KILLED a lesser man but not before disabling his magickal faculties..." , the half-dunmer said indignantly.

"I think it is quite ovbious that a man witha construct army is no "lesser" man, on the bright side of things, at least this time you will be conscious to see see him die."

Anthanes snorted. "At the next time it should work. That means that it is time for plan XYZ--- repeated casting of various spells, lo. But someone give me that magicka-restoring potion!"

absent-midedly firing arrows into the enemy megil shrugged and said,

"sorry i don't have my pack on me, and this armor doesn't really have room for potion storage"

"Hallo to you Megil, Serene grinned, we just have to gather our forces now....don´t you think?


"Anthanes, here you are! Serene took out another vial glistening of magica....this one will get you going!
And stop ranting...she smiled at him...

"I am not ranting, by the infinite folds of the void! Thank you, by the way."

...I wonder how Anara is faring...Curse it, Anthanes, this is ... not the time to worry about emotions.

Anthanes gulped the potion and wiped his mouth. He gave a reassured look to Arcyakt's direction and grinned.

"V'laash icrius!" A bolt of energy shot from his fingers to Arcyakt, and the half-dunmer's potent will attempted to wrestle the protections from Arcyakt, greatly increasing the potency of the Dispelling spell.

"Anthanes! be careful!" Serene warned.....didnt you notice the inner shield of reflect!

YAYYY.......MOVE IT! She threw herself at the half-dunmer, shoving him aside before the spell came back with a swoosh...

They barely avoided the ricochet(sp).....and fell both in a heap of arms and legs....

Megil rolled his eyes,

"You'll never learn will ya"

Serene crawled up on her feet..

"Phew, that was a close one......there´s more sides to this mage than we´ll ever learn....

"Come on guys, let´s go to the Rat-in-the-pot and get ourselves drunk....Arcyakt wouldn´t expect that

Serene assembled her gear and headed off to the bar...intensively tired of fighting..and yearning for Jonacin to get back...

"Sounds like a plan," Megil said, looking over his shoulder, letting an arrow loose from his bow, hitting an unsuspecting undead soldier.

Megil lowered his bow turned around and followed Serene to the bar.

Oops...Megil..phew i didn´t see that one..Serene laughed.....well now yu certainly deserve a huge drink.....It´s on me!!

Megil laughed, "alright, i didn't think they would charge us in the middle of a war,"

OOC: is there still any liquor in this town? i thought shakur or fanris one, did some explosions with most of the alcohol in town. -_-

Konrad sat once again inside the rat in the pot, bottles of flin around the table he was slumped sleepily at. He burbled slightly, then picked up an empty bottle; shaking it above his head to get a few drops. He was bleeding quite badly from a cut to his arm. He attemped to get up but flopped to the floor, lying there. With his blood forming a small puddle, he really looked dead drunk.

Megil walked into the bar to see the stuporing konrad, he couldn't help but laugh.

he lifted him up of the floor and onto a chair. "foolish boy"

"Serene, he looks like he could use some help" he said as he tied a strip of cloth above the wound to prevent further bleeding.

When entering the bar, Serene saw Konrad lying on the floor....dead drunk..but he was bleeding severely, and with all that alcohol in his body the blood flew rather extensively.


"Ah konrad she muttered as she grabbed his arm and concentrated t heal the deep cut. Blood gushed from it and she saw that the boy had lost quite a lot of it...


Hmmm he´ll need some fortifying potion as well she thought, taking a green vial from her backpack

"Megil hold his head so i can pour this into him she said still holding his wounded arm...

Megil lifted up konrad's stooped head, so that the potion could go down his throat.

"Alright, ready when you are."

Serene poured the potion slowly into Konrads throat

" Hmm hope he doesn´t puke now she muttered i don´t have so many left of these

Konrad accepted the potion gratefully, then suddenly jolted back into life. He drew his sword and aimed it at Serene. "Who the?" he asked, his vision swaying. "ARCYATK!" he screamed, attempting to slash her but failing miserably and dropping the sword. He then proceeded to mumble about tax rates.

Aiiieee, Serene jumped back when Konrad aimed at her..

Konrad, she said in a loud voice..it´s us, Megil and me..Serene cripes boy you scared me

Megil jumped back likewise at the outburst, and stoo dbacking watching the boy warily incase he decided to lunge in his drunkeness.
