Megil took the reeking bucket outside, and dumped it, he found a well nearby and got some water to wash the bucket out. He aso got a strip of cloth and dampened it with the cool wel water.

He took it back inside and laid it by the moaning Serene. He wanted to tell her off, but he was also not in the mood for it, so he put the cold damp towel on her forehead, to help the pain and then returned to his silent sigil of watching over her.

In the corner of the bar, where the moldy ends of either side of the wooden walls met, sat a cloacked traveler. His thin hood covering his face and concealing him from the peering eyes of others, as he studied his surroundings.

The woman in the corner was sick, as far as he could tell. Probably from drinking, or maybe some strange disease. Who knew?

He heard talking around him, and people (mainly soldiers) were speaking of the divines. Some went as far as too call one a phony.

The silence was broken by the thud of that soldiers body on the ground as the hooded man withdrew his sword from the soldiers neck.

Wiping the sword on his robe, he sheathed it and turned. Swiftly striding out of the tavern, other soldiers at the table gazing wide eyed in shock after him.

(OOC: I had too . . . . . .that should work. Just so your characters know there is a strange "Crusader" running about murdering people as this RP draws to an end.)

Megil turned when he heard the silence behind him, followed by the whispering and talking. He saw a dead soldier, and then the door shutting.

Seeing that the dead man would keep veryone busy, Megil stood up to investigate, he walked outside and yelled after the man,

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU KILL THAT MAN FOR?" Megil said as he caught up witht he man, and spun him around by the shoulder.

OOC: logical and predictable consequence.

The man smiled, and grabbed hold of Megils arms, shoving the dunmer back. His sword was at Megil's throat in a second.

"If you commit blasphemy, you shall meet the same fate as that idiotic soldier. Just watch yourself." The man sheathed his sword, and continued walking away. However, after a few feet he turned and suddenly walked back towards the tavern, pulling the door open and entering.

Unbelievable, just in front of her blurry eyes there was a cold-blooded murder! She had not noticed the man in the hood enter.....no wonders....but she witnessed the murder and it made her considreably more sober......if it hadn´t been for the terrible hangover she would have done fine.

Before she could ask Megil what this was all about he rose and headed out after the murderer.

"Hmm he was sitting beside me. she thought, that was very consideate of him....he really is a good man , Megil...."


There was something familiar with tht murderer though.....

Megil chuckled, "blaspheme the god's" he said as he stood up, and walked back into the bar after the stranger.

"They are a bit cooky that's for sure", he said behind the stranger, then walked back over to Serene.

Otik walked into the bar and passed a hooded stranger, tiped his head as comon curtisy and went over to Megil and Serene. "Need any help? Now Serene thats why you have to pace yourself" Otik grinned.

"ahh Megil you´re the kindest, Serene whispered her throat still sore, could I have a glass of water maybe?"

She tried to get her hair in order again....sensing it was in an urgent need of a thorough washing....in fact she needed a hot bath really to get rid of the stench....

"sure," he said, getting up and getting a glass of water from the barkeep, but then got some comberry juice too,

he gave them both to Serene, "The comberry juice will get rid of the burning, and unfortunetly I can't get you a bath lined up."

"Thank you" Serene downed the water and the juice......"what happened really? why did that man just kill the poor bastarde on the floor?

ooc you guys skiped my post, i'm with you guys now....

OOC: no we didn't.

"Sure Otik, I can use some help, go see if we can get a nice warm bath lined up for Serene"

OOC: happy ^ ^?

OOC: yayy..there are some real gentlemen here!

Serene smiled as she heard Megil´s words

"Hmm utterly kind of you, she murmured.....I do apologize for my behavious she added .....embarrassed..

ooc: lol yes

never mind this post

Ryan was very confused. Fist he had folowed Osano in to the tavern, witnessed a healer get drunk, saw osano leave, and then the guy sitting next to him was murdered.

Hey, Ryan thought, why hasn't anyone at least taken the mans body outside?
Ryan got up and took an arm of the man and looked around for someone to help him take him out.

OOC: c'mon guys, you left a dead body right in the middle of a bar, and you're talking about a bath and beuty sleep.

OOC: well that´s what is most important now huh? The stiffie won´t go anywhere.....

Serene enjoyed the fact that they actually was going to fix bath for her......the corpse at the floor was not a very pleasant sight though...and the smell emerging from it was.....well interesting





OOC: Sorry but I have to go to bed now...working day tomorrow.......please just put her in a bath and then to bed..pleease!!

OOC BATH!!???! Dang IT! I thought he said BED! gimme a minute.

IC: Otik walked up to the barkeep and asked if they had a tub around here. After being pointed to the corner room he saw a smallish tub and a pump. Otik started to pump some water into the tub and when the water was going steady he lit a fire underneith the tub to warm the water up. After the tub was filled, Otik waited untill the water was warm and went out to Megil. "Well the bath is ready" Otik puased nevously "Uh, lets get this over with?"

A sword sliced through the arm of the dead soldier, seperating it from it's body.

"You'll not be moving him, his corpse shall lay and rot right here."

"look man, i don't know why you killed him, and i dont really care," said Ryan impassionatly(Sp). "but i do know that im not gonna let this guy rot right in the middle of the only bar in town."

Who the hell is this guy and why does he care where this guy rots anywhey.

“Actually, you’re going to do as you're told. Leave his body there.” The man said with a threatening voice. “After he’s finished rotting here, he shall rot in hell for his blasphemy.”

"you know what?" said Ryan. "i could care less whatyou tell me to do, OK? It's not worth killing another person just so i can dispose of two bodies. I'm guessing this tavern won't have much bussiness for at least a month, if its still standing...you do know that there is an army outside and you killed one of the defenders, right?"

"You'll start caring in a moment if you don't shutup up and back down." The hooded man shoved his sword down into the stomach of the already dead soldier, causing the blood to splurt.

"damn, you're one sick bastarde!!" Said Ryan. "Isn't it enough that you killed him, but now you have to mutilate his corpse too? Fine, i'll drop it. but only because i don't want another corpse to litter this place. And i dont just kill someone in broud daylight."

As the man turned away, the hooded figure brought his hand in the air above the dead soldier, just a foot above the body. Slowly, the body started to rot. Soon however the process had picked up speed, and the body decayed. Then suddenly it dissapeared.

The hooded man chuckled, and turned. Sitting down on a barstool and gazing at no one in particular.

Osano watched the scene with interest. The man getting killed, Ryan taking a stand and the strange spell that caused the body to decay extremely rapidly. Osano strode towards Ryan and said quietly, "Be careful, he is powerful," and then walked over to the hooded man and sat across from him. "A peculiar spell, one that no ordinary man could posses, who are you?"

"Just who the hell do you think you are?" Megil asked as this mystery man sat around telling everyone what they were and were not to do.

The barstool was knocked from him. "You have NO right," Anara growled, hefting her spear. "To kill him."

Anthanes got out of the shadowy corner where he had been in for the last minutes, unsheated Fearstruck, and walked over to the cloaked man.

"I'm in agreement to that."

Serene was in her hot bath enjoying every minute of it...if it hadn´t been for the headache.......then she thought she heard Anthanes from below.....

"Anthanes"..she shouted "Do you have any of those potions for curing a hangover?" Pleeeease..I´m just dying from headache!!!"


She closed her eyes and hoped for Anthanes to come and help her...



OOC: She did not witness the mutilation and rotting of the corpse

"BUSY HERE REMOVING UNWANTED FREAKS!" , Anthanes shouted.

They will never get it! It is mine! My own! My precious! What's she talking about anyway?

"Aaaaarrghhh, my head!" Serene whined in pain.....

Why won´t he help me? It would take him 2 min to run over here with a potion....or a spell ..or SOMETHING!!!


Busy removing freaks??? Ahhh OK, I´ll have to help myself then......


She closed her eyes, still in the bath and concentrated......then she began chanting, very silent at first but then stronger...and louder........

"Huvudvärk och Baksmälla....förrrssssvvviinnnnnn............."


Then she felt a slight diminishing of the terrible pain..not much but still a steady lowering of intensity....

Konrad watched the man with interest, nodding at his display of power and magic. As the others confronted him he attempted to draw his sword, but remembered he had shattered it. "Bugger," he whispered as he leapt of his seat to Anthanes. Serene was shouting about a potion.

"Anthanes, want me to take whatever she wants up to her? I can't fight this guy." he asked him.

"I don't know what she is talking about, but I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something." , Anthanes said, grinning sheepishly.

Konrad scowled slightly at Anthanes, didn't he know what a hangover was? He went upstairs slowly, knocking on the room where he thought Serene was in. "Hey. Anthanes doesn't have a clue what you are on about." he called in.

[ooc: Actually, he does know, but he doesn't know of a Potion of Cure Hangover.]

" Konrad!...come in please.I´m just taking a bath.....but nevermind that...what I need is something that can help me get rid of all the formic acid that is built up in my liver..chemically speaking...I was sure Anthanes had something ...but hmmm it might be Megil then maybe....nevermind....some Cure Headache will do allright...I recjkon..."

She leaned back in the hot tub and enjoyed the heat....and the chance of some company.....


OOC: No? hmm I was sure he did!

Anthanes left with a sigh, ignoring the killer. Casting a levitating spell, he floated over the walls, looking to see how the fight with Arcyakt was going.

"...why does that fool of a Jonacin ALWAYS have to take the attention..."

Konrad entered the room warily, spotting Serene at bliss in the steaming water, the vapours rising steadily to the cieling. He grinned at her, before rummaging in his pack. Frowning he reemmerged. "I have nothing of the sort, I'm afraid. To be honest, I didn't know they existed." he admitted, shrugging his shoulders slightly and sighing. "I also know minimal healing spells...big help, aren't I?" he told her, packing away all the things he had thrown out of his pack and slinging it behind his back once more.

Sel

Sel took one more sip of whatever drink he had been drinking (he wasn't paying much attention) before going to talk to Serene; judging by her last statement towards him, she knew something that he didn't.

Mage

"Fine then." Arcyakt said, readying his staff and casting a spell of shield upon himself. "Your move, Ansei."

Jonacin saw the shimmer of the shield appear. "You are so afraid of me you hide behind an arcane shield? I thought you were mean't to be 'all powerful' with that staff of yours" he sneered

"You speak a lot for a corpse." Arcyakt retorted, this time with a nasty fireball launched towards Jonacin.

OOC:

Serene sighed,.."Ah well Konrad I´ll soon be OK anyway it just take some more time, that´s all. But would you please give me some hackle-lo tea then? It ´ll be a nice fortification.......and I´m going up from this tub now...

She stood up not even considering the fact that Konrad might be embarrassed.....stepped out of the tub grasping for a dry piece of cloth to dry her up. Still her head was aching and she was so very thirsty......for water that was....also she wondered how Jonacin was doing...

Jonacin leapt aside, hearing the roar of the fireball and feeling it's heat as it flashed past him. He rolled and jumped back to his feet. "That all you got?"

"I would like to be able to answer that question myself."

Then he paced over to Serene and placed a hand on her forehead, chanting a strange healing spell.

"There" he said lowering his hand "You should feel better. I sense a strong devotion to the divines in you."

Konrad's eyebrows jerked up for a second before he turned round to fetch in his pack for some hackle-lo leaves. He was definately embarrased, though he was impressed. She had kept herself well for one reaching her age.

Konrad bent down and fetched out some Hackle-Lo leaves, before also folding out a small metal stand and a metal teapot. It was worn, he had used it on his whole journey across Cyrodil, but was perfectly crafted. He made the tea carefuly, yawning with the heat radiating from it. Turning back he handed her a small cup of it, a travellers cup. "Do you want any other drinks?" he asked her, brushing his hand through his hair. "I have a small si pof brandy, some flin, some other brown drink that I didn't much like and some spring water in my pack."

OOC: jonacin talks a lot for one who has yet to attack

Mage

Arcyakt chuckled as he began walkling towards Jonacin. He quickly swung his staff horizontally at Jonacin in an attempt to trip him. It had been so long since he had actually done any sort of martial combat...maybe it would be fun.

Jonacin swung his sword down and blocked the staff. He then swung the sword in an uppercut slash the would open Arcyatk up from groin to chin if he didn't block

OOC: She is standing beside a bathtub with absolutely nothing on..just so you know!



Ahhh..Serene smiled happily, being accompanied by two men, one she knew and had grown fond of...the other one she did not know, he appeared out of nowhere but still made a friendly gesture towards her.

After downing the tea and sensing the healing powers of the stranger she felt really well and fortified

"Why thank you, both of you she said.....giving Konrad a hug and the strange man her hand......still not considering her state of having nothing on....

Arcyakt blocked the blow and gave himself a bit of distance from Jonacin.

He held out a hand and launched a lightning bolt at him, hoping to knock him down, before charging back in with his staff.

Sel

Sel walked into the room to see a mysterious stranger, Konrad, and a naked Serene.

He cleared his throat and politely turned away, thinking something very strange was happening in Serene's room...

Jonac flung his spirit arm up and the lightning was absorbed into it, then he swung his sword across, smashing Arcyatk's staff aside, then he countered with a vicious reverse slash aimed towards his throat
