Aki frowned, at both of the news. While he hadn't exactly been too keen on a commando style raid of the Valpyre island, finding out some creature had massacred one of his Guildhalls was very unsettling.
"How the hamster did it get into Balmora, and into my Guildhall?" Wayn asked, grimacing.

Valentine felt kind of dumb. Clearly he was not as motivated as these people, nor as informed. But informed or motivated be damned, he was still loyal. "I have little feeling for adventure, Ranius. I will follow you to the ends of the earth, but I advise you against this man in this matter. Duty and Order are the things of saints, and right now we have been ordered that it is our duty to return to Mournhold. If I were you, I would strike this man for suggesting we defy authority. I do this not, because I know he would probably fight back. Beyond that, as I was saying, though, it is our order by the Duke of these lands to return to Mournhold. I say we follow orders."

AS Vealon was coming back from Ebonheart he was thinking about a plan to get rid of the Silver men. After he was walking for awhile and got attacked by a few monsters, he remembered that HE had a mark in his room. Once he got back he ran into the confrence room and started talking about mics stuff. After a while he said to one of the fighter's guild member's
I'm off to the Lizard's Head tavern to get a drink, or two." As he left he visted Channler and Davion's rooms and gave them some potions along with a note that said,
"use these if you need them"
Vealon
then he left half-hoping someone would come to talk me out of It but then again, he was wishing that he never got into this by seeing what was going on that first night......

Davion climbed out of bed, and went after Vealon, leaving Channler to get some rest.
"Vealon, you need to stay, Channler is going to need you by his side. See Channler was poisoned but i did a ritual to draw the poison into my body. It wasn't until i was in hell did i realize that this poison can never be cured, and that i am dieing, and won't live for much longer. Follow me into the conference room before Aki and the others leave." Davion tells Vealon, holding his stomach then turns and walks into the conference room.
Once in the conference room, he slams his fist on the round table to draw everysones attension, and as the others turn and walk back to the table Davion says,
"We need to do a sneak attack, we're going to have to go in from the back. Granted, we can't do that without a decoy or else we will be spotted on sight, that's where I come in." Davion goes silent, reading the emotions on the adventurers faces, all were mixed emotions, and continues to say after a brief silence,
"I have lead a good life, but i know i am going to be cast down to the Demon World once i die, because that is what this poison does, it doesn't just poison the body, it infects the soul also and damnes it to hell. So here is what i propose we do." Davion says then adjusts his stance and continues,
"Aki, you will take the rest of the adventurers and go around to the back entrance. When i was in the underworld, i had a vision of this islands layout, i drew a map a few hours ago and i marked the best possable sneak entrances and the front gate." Davion points out to Aki the route they will take to get in the back then continues,
"I will be the decoy, I will go in through the front and draw their attension to me, makeing it almost impossable for you guys to get spoted. Two minutes after i have made my assault on the front gate, you guys will get in the boats and go to the back door i have marked down. It's a sewer entrance but it's the fastest way to the core of the island. I expect the main guy of the Valpyre will be somewhere in there." Davion draws the entrance lines from where they would be departing to the back of the island,
"It is imperative that i go alone. I am going to die within the next week, so it needs to be sooner than that when we launch our assault. You guys will have to stay as close to the island as you can so your not to be seen. If there are any questions, if your unsure about any of this or appose to the idea, speak now." Davion finishes up, looking around the silent room.

Vealon stares at Davion, silently, horrified at what he knows what must be done to save the world of Vvardenfell. He trys to speak but no words come out. So all he could do is nod, and goes to get all of his stuff. then when no one was looking he lifted his bead apulled out his last bottle of cryodillic (ok I know it's spelt wrong) brandy.Vealon feels happy as the liquid drys his throught, as he ponders what to do while they wait for Davion to get into position. He decids to go and wait 'till Channler wakes up, and to "feed" him a few restor fatique and health potions. as he waits he doesn't do or say much, thou Channler does moaned afew times. SO vealon waits untill one of two things happens, He gets called to lead on the boat, or hopefull, Channler wakes up.
***Darn it Davion

Each member of House Krellos wears a special golden amulet which has the letter "K" on it. The Archmaster may, at any time, make the amulet of a House Krellos member glow with a green light, showing the fact that he desires to speak with that member.
Zerath's amulet started to glow and he was summoned to the Archmaster. Once in the headquarters of House Krellos, Midave Vendal spoke to him.
"Have you gotten rid of those adventurers?" he asked and awaited a reply.

Kalloros enetered Vornac's room and with a smile, sat himself on a chair beside his bed.
"I thank you, my friend, for saving me, for without your help I'm sure I would have had to join those b*stards for I couldn't think of a way to escape. I belive the dark underlord was a Necromancer and had powerful summoning powers as well, that must have been why he so easily killed the fighters guild members. After you passed out he disapeared so your arrows must have hurt him quite a lot." The assassin paused for a moment and then exclaimed, "damn that's a hell of a nice bow you've got there friend. Where did you get it?"

Vornac
Vornac looked up at Kalloros smiling and happy to see that he was ok... Still holding on his wound. And he spoke out;
"The bow is from one of the first Guildmasters of Hlaalu. Heard to be a servant of Hlaalu hundreds of years back. The bow was made to protect the people of Morrowind and Hlaalu. And has been carried by all the Grandmasters of Hlaalu. After the Hlaalu Council was attacked and the Grandmaster killed I took the Bow. I was hoping it would help some people... But is everything ok with u, that Necromancer had some powerful magic in his sleeves, sure ur OK?" he nodded while smiling to Kalloros... He looked at his bow that was on his bed and the quiver with 49 arrows. In it...
"It was made to kill with one single shot, but what was that... The Necromancer, I dont know. But I had a feeling it was only somekind of Illusion, that it really wasn't there. But still some of the creature were in that room. Was it the leader... of the Valpyres u think? A Daedra...?" Vornac was almost unsure of what he was thinking of. In his years, he had studied Necromancy and Black Magic of Morrowind. But, he never thought creatures like that. That possesed such power would come to the mortal world. He closed his eyes before looking up at Kalloros again.
"Hmm, but what has happend here. Have u been here a while, whats the newest news of the Island and all that?" he said to Kalloros curious...

Zerath was looking at Vendal, knowing that he didn't know much yet of the adventurers disission. So he said;
"My master, I'm sorry to say that I dont know. I said to Ranius that he was summoned to Cyrodiil City and that no one of the adventurers was alowed to attack because they were not in the Imperial Legion or Temple. And of course damn outlanders. Ranius, he is naiv. He is easy to turn, just like his friend Valentine. That will mostly follow him to Cyrodiil City... I most say its bad news to..." Zerath looked down... "But this Dunmer, Vornac has been located... In Vivec Arena. And I told Ranius he was summoned to Mournholm, but before u get angry my master I most say he is wounded. After meeting a Daedra from the Underworld he got almost killed and his guard is open for a strike by assassins, even as he is with the others... One, just one strike with a assassins blade he would be dying. But its a great risk, maybe." he smiled evil, while taking a step back to await Archmaster Vendals answer...

The Archmaster approached his loyal servant and spoke to him.
"No. If they abandon their quest, I shall have no quarrel with them. But if they try to get to the island of our allies, have them imprisoned. You know very well that they will have to take a boat from Ebonheart if they want to get there. If there are any problems with capturing them or if they escape from your custody, my assassin will kill them. By the way, one more thing. Do not even hint at the fact that you are not the real Duke. Do not write about your orders in any journal or diary of yours. No one except me, you and my second in command know that you are a shapeshifter pretending to be Duke and I want to keep things this way. Should those adventurers find out who you truly are, great problems will arise. And I might just have to dispose of your services", said Vendal and raised his sword in the air menancingly. "But I have faith in you. And in your discretion. Go now and do what you must do", the Archmaster concluded.

Kalloros paused for a minute, thinking deeply.
"I am not certain," the assassin began, "but I was studying both house Krellos and the Valpyre for several days before the draemora attacked me and I believe that there is a certain link between these two factions. A link, which may result in a declaration of alliance between the two. And again it is only a hunch, but I believe that the intentions of this alliance would not be in the rest of Vaardenfell's best interests. When you are ready my friend, I would like to seek out Aki and his band of followers and try to stop the Valpyre."

Vornac
He stares at Kalloros before saying;
"Well Ok, then we attack tonight. Its still midday now, so lets say that near midnight we leave for Ebonheart getting some boats. Then we leave for the Island. I heard, Davion would be our destraction... I wish him good luck. Tell Aki and his men to gather and and start preapering for battle. I dont want to attack them, lets stay as long as we can on the Island without getting into conflict... I dont want to lead my people into war this early" Vornac replied to Kalloros, he reached for his cloak and cloth and start dressing up. Taking a extra little breastplate of Ebony with fine leather under to protect his wound while still drinking some healing potions.
He took on his cloak, grabbed his sword and took the bow and the quiver in his hands. Tok a gentle touch on his wound before going into the Guildhall to see Aki and his followers. Channler and Davion was talking to Vealon. And everybuddy was looking on Davion.
"Davion... I know that... You might die. But dont fall now, without knowing for sure. I know a witch doctor, on the mainland. Your a great warrior and I dont like u to die as a hero. I want u to leave, I want u and Channler to leave to the mainland to a little village called Savannah, its a camp with a great witch doctor. It will take u atleast 3 days from here to reach him.
Drink much Healing Potions, and stay as calm as u can. Tell him I sent u and tell him what poision u have gotten. Atleast give it a try, u are already a hero and dont need to die for our cause. I want all to gather in Ebonheart by midnight. Travel light with only whats necassery. We might need to swim, if we cant get close enough to the Island" Vornac said with everyones attention... He looked up, at the Guildhall roof.
"I'm the only one here, that really has a greater cause in this war. I will make a faction. We will all join, Sacred Protecters I will call it. With my approval and from the Grandmaster Sheira of Hlaalu we will make it a defenind stand for House of Hlaalu. I hope that is a good enough reason for u all to fight, now Vivec or the Duke can leave u outside of this battle..." Vornac smiles, before taking up his sword and putting it on the table...
"Are u with me...?"
Aki
Mar 30 2005, 10:03 PM
Aki shrugged. "Why is it sacred protectors though? I doubt theres anything sacred about anyone here, er, no offense of course," he said. "The Protectors would be satisfactory...or sumthin'," Wayn added in.
The Morag Tong members, meanwhile, Walked by, not paying any attention to everyone, they headed to the shrine to Mephala, which now had a proper statue of the Webspinner herself. The Statue depicted a four armed goddess, holding a spider web between her four hands, weaving the web.
Her hands were jet black.
The Morag Tong were a cult and a Assassins guild, and they beleived their Goddess, Mephala growed greater with every murder in her name. The greater the person, the more power attained. Aki grined. "I think we could enlist some help..." he said, staring at the statue of Black Hands Mephala.

***sinder look in the planing post for my answer to your question***
Vealon thought over the proposal. A guild for him to join, and mabey even be a ranking officer. So he signed right up "hey Vornac, put my name on the list. we wont have to report to the duke, king, or vivec, right? Would we even have to report to aneone? Save, the great house Hlaalu?" So many questions circled in his head. Would we be targeted by the empire? Would we be condider "illegal" like the Comma Tong? or would we just be unwanted like the Theives guild I and, if i'm thinking correctially, Voranac were in and the Morag Tong?but that wasn't to think of now, now that I'm joining
So he added another comment, "I join, as long as I have a decent position, not just the water boy, but I also what to finish this. We got into this and by the looks of things the Valpyre wont leave us alone untill we rid the world of them." He sat down as he waited for an answer as he gave Channler afew more potions for his health.

Mar 31 2005, 12:35 AM
"No" Davion said to Vornac. "I cannot abondon my duties, you all need me to create the distraction. I would much rather die in combat than in a bed withering away from a poison. If this attack is a sucess i will go visit your witch doctor." Davion says again, still looking at Vornac.
"I don't see the need to make a faction, after this assault is over, we will just go back to our normal lives most likely anyways, so what's the point?" Davion said then starts to caugh.
"But like Aki said, everyone here has some dirt on them, so 'sacred' isn't the best word to use, even if we made a faction." Davion tells the room.
"We launch at midnight, so i suggest that we spend our remaining time visiting our families, lovers, children. The last of my family died when the Valpyre killed my father, Fyr, so i will be here in my room, resting until midnight." Davion continued to tell everyone.
As i am the decoy, i will stay here in Vivec and use my walk on water spell and assault the front. Once you see me running on the water, that is the signal to start your attack." Davion continues, "If there is something you want to speak to me about, see me in my room, if not, i will see you on the island. Good day men." Davion then turns and walks into his room.
-----------
Once in his room Davion prepares a ceremonial rite that he learned from the Nerevarine almost 51 years ago. Placing the candles in a circle, Davion recites some passages he learned from the Nerevarine then fades into a blackend room.
A tall Daedra woman walks out of the shadows and greets Davion and Davion says to her,
"Azura, i have come to you for guidence and with questions. First off; Can this poison be cured? I thought the only person that carried the remedy to it, my father, was murdered, keeping the secret to the poisons cure locked away in his mind?" Davion asks Azura, giving it a room of pause for her to speak with an answer.
"There is another person that can cure the disease, but you know as well as i do that you have a day, two tops. I have a question for you; Knowing that you only had a day or two left until the poison killed you, why did you lie to the other adventurers?" Azura pauses.
"Honestly, i didn't want to put any unwanted burdon on them, they are weighed down enough as it is, they i don't want to burdon them by having to watch over me every step of the way." Davion says, putting his head down in shame.
"Arrogance is a curse, Davion. What is your other question?" Azura says, laying it into Davion even more.
"My second question is; How come the gods haven't done anything about this?" Davion asks curious.
"This is not our place to intervine, this is a threat on Tamriel, and thus the people of Tamriel have to band togeather to eleminate this new threat." Azura reasures Davion.
"Okay, final question; I am not going to be allowed into Heaven when i die, huh?" Davion asks, heart racing, blood boiling.
"No." Azura says, this comming as no suprise to Davion but he had hoped for a better answer. "Your soul has been infected, it is now forever bound to the underworld. I am sorry I cannot do anything for your soul. Yes, you made the choice to sacrifice your life for your friend Channler, but your soul has been tainted, thus causing a great threat to my kingdom. Go now Davion and get rest, it's getting late." Azura tells Davion then in a blinding light, vanishes, and Davion reawakes in his room.
Davion staggers to his feet, woozy from the transistion from the spirit world to the world of the living, the fact he was poisoned didn't help anything either.
Davion lets out a sigh then falls on his bed to sleep. The last thought going through his head was, 'Wake up at 11' then he passes out.

He knew, that 'Sacred' well it was to go over the line for these people. He laughed a little bit...
"Well Ok, The Protectors, I mean this because that. The Temple or even the Empire can put us in for the Free War. And I dont want that to happend, but I guess I wont. Because I'm soon to become the Grandmaster of Hlaalu. So lets forget about the factions then..." he looks around...
"Now, lets brief the plan... Should we stick together or what. I thought that Davion, if u will u can be the discration. I thought that we take one boats. None for Davion and we other in the boat. We sneak into the sewers after his discraction. He will try to get a perimeter of a area we should spy on... If anythings goes wrong we meet here. I would like to have two teams. We gather more information then in a short periode. If Aki and your men go. And me, Vealon, Channler and maybe Ranius and Valentine if ur in takes another spot. We go to our own point where we find as much info as we can before returning to the sewer entrance every Midnight. After atleast two or three days we leave the Island..." Vornac said... He was hoping they would agree on making two teams to get more information. He packed his gear in a little sack hanging on the left side, with the quiver and his bow in his right hand. His sword on the table... He still had much on his mind, confused and all that...
"Oh yeah... Kalloros, I would like u to... Well be our scout almost leader of this. I mean that u go with me. You will go into the sewers first if u have no problems. Your assassin skills could come to good use with spying and studing the enemy" he said to Kalloros...
"Its still quite a while to Midnight, and as u know I'm very wounded. But anyway. Its me and Vealons plan, so I will go first onto the Island and last of the Island..." Vornac said before grabbing his wound... and walking into his room...

Kalloros crouched low listening to the captain and the Dunmer talking aboard the ship. The assassin had no great love for Ebonheart but was determined to be part of this foolhardy plan that would lead him deep into the heart of Morania's layer. He had no reason to kill the Valpyre godess but he wanted to find out who was behind these attacks and what their reasoning was and he had a funny feeling that the Valpyre were behind them. Suddenly, the sound of devilish laughter cut through his thoughts.
"Her highness would be most pleased that we have brought her all of the infedels seeking her death." The captain said with an evil grin.
"Yes, Barus, she will be most pleased. I have already informed her of their coming and how they intend to carry out their... intentions." Both men gave a sickening laugh once again and suddenly Kalloros fired a crossbow bolt into Barus's forehead. The other one whirled round only to have his throat slashed open. The assassin lept forward and drove one of his long knives into his heart. Before he could hide the bodies footfalls sounded from behind him.

Bradas Aralas, the assassin of Midave Vendal, had been sneaking around the adventurers undetected, trying to learn as much as possible about their plans. It seemed as if the Valpyres intended to lure the adventurers to their island to finish them off, so Bradas did not know what to do. His master had ordered him to kill the heroes if they tried to assault the island, but the assault seemed like suicide anyway. They could and would not survive in such a dangerous place all by themselves. He teleported himself to his master to receive counsel from him.
"Greetings, my lord", Bradas said.
"You have returned, I see. What has transpired?" Midave asked his assassin.
"The adventurers will try to assault the island. The Valpyres want them to come to their island, because what the adventurers are trying to pull off is clearly suicide. Should I kill them anyway?" the assassin asked.
"The Valpyres want them dead, then. These heroes interfered with the Valpyres' scouting and assassination operations, yes?" Midave asked his servant.
"Yes. They did. Perhaps that is why the Valpyres want them to die", Bradas replied.
"I do not know if they would be foolish enough to attack the island without the necessary artifacts to defeat the Valpyres. I believe that they know how to defeat Morania and her hosts; otherwise they would not bother to risk their lives so. I know of only one artifact that can possibly defeat Morania, an artifact which I know is far from the eyes of mortal men, but perhaps they have something else equally powerful that they will use against the godess. I don't want them dead. Go quickly to Zerath, the false Duke, and tell him to send his Imperial ships to intercept the adventurers. I want them to be thrown in prison, and then taken here for interrogation. I want to find out what they know. I want to find out what the other way of defeating Morana is. And I will interrogate them myself. Go, now, to Zerath and let him know of the adventurers' plans. And make sure that they, the adventurers, do not escape. And they will certainly not escape, as those Imperial ships are the fastest ships on this side of Morrowind. Farewell, and good luck, my insidious servant", Midave spoke.
Bradas teleported himself to his former position, after which he stealthly and quickly found his way into the Duke's chambers. There, he told Zerath about Midave's orders.
"Do not fail him", Bradas told the Duke. "He does not tolerate failures, and if you fail him, he will ask me to kill you. If, however, you succeed, you will certainly be promoted to a higher position in House Krellos", said Bradas.

Zerath
He knew that he was in deep trouble if Archmaster Vendal didn't get it was he want, atleast he would fail. To intercept the adventurers, he think that seemed like a last option. Ranius he thought, that naiv man. He could give me the information that I would want... He called on the two Royal Guards, sending them to summon Knight Errant Ranius...
He came not long after, just telling the adventurers in Morag Tong he would soon return. And that he didn't want to leave for Cyrodiil City if they were going to attack...
"Hello there Knight Errant... I told u to take a boat to the mainland and head for Cyrodiil. But insted I find u there, in Morag Tong with the adventureres and the outlanders!" he screamed out at Ranius...
"Lord Vivec has thought this over, and we want to hear the adventurers plans. Of this attack we would really need some information about how they are going to defeat the Valpure and Morania... How can they attack the Island with no army..." Zerath said to Ranius
"Ohh, my lord. You most have misunderstod. They are not going to attack at all... They are going to infiltrate and spy on their army. Thats all. They already have a plan, a adventurer named Davion is going to sett of a destraction, while the rest of them sneak in to the sewers from behinde. Its a little opening in the south that they are going to get in... Ehm, from there they will spy in a couple of days before returning during the night..." Knight Errant Ranius said...
Zerath, thought about it. He just stood there thinking, before going off to his bed. Starting to take of his armour as he usally weared.. Ranius could see his amulet. But nothing special about it, a normal amulet with a "K" on it...
"Exucse me my Lord. But your amulet, what does that "K" stand for..." he asked...
"Ohh haha, well Knight Errant Ranius... Its a amulet from a dear friend I met on the Mainland, in Mournholm. He gave me this amulet to protect me, his name was last name was Kaleth. And it had been passed over for generations... He gave me it, it is powerfull enchanted. Sometimes it glows, that means threat is near..." Zerath said, while he took it of and laying on the table by the bed. He looked back at Ranius. Thought it wasn't a real danger, they had no way to kill Morania. And the Valpyres would kill them on the site...
"Well... I guess I dont see much harm in that, I will let them infiltrate on their own lives. May the came home alive, if its succesfull you will be promoted to Brigadier General of the Morrowind Imperial Legion Ranius, but remember if something goes wrong its on you and your families expence. Even the adventurers will have a visit by my Guards. But still yet, I'm against this infiltration without our approval..." he walked up to Ranius, taking him on the shoulder...
"Leave now, and dont come here until their mission is done... When do they leave?" Zerath said...
"Tonight, at midnight they will meet here on the Ebonheart Docks, bye my lord..." Ranius said and went of without knowing what he just had done... Zerath locked the door, and he teleported himself to Midave Vendal, going up to his throne.
"My Archmaster Vendal, I have good news. They band of adventurers are not going to attack, they dont even have a weapon or artifact against Morania. They are just going to spy on their army, if the Valpyres attack them on the Island they wont get any information and would have a great risk of beeing attacked or mortaly wounded making them simple targets for a counter attack by your assassins... They will leave tonight, at midnight... I thought we could contact the Valpyres, telling them that a decoy will attack from the north while they sneak in from behinde and into the sewers... Thats all I got out of him my master..." Zerath said, and bow down waiting for a answer... He hoped Vendal would be glad for these news. The adventurers cant surivive more then two attacks, one from Morania and his/her (?) Valpyres and a counter attack if possible by our well trained assassins... He smiled...

Vornac
Vornac approched Kalloros on the Ebonheart Docks... He was already on a boat. He looked up at him, seeing nothing but his back.
"So my friend... Its still a little while to midnight, is the captain ready to take us off. I guess the others soon will come. Its a dangerous mission, but I hope we will do well..." Vornac said while leaning against the boat, holding his bow already with a arrow on it, looked like he wasn't really safe around at the night. Not atleast without knowing of any was listning on them or even planning to attack them again, like the Valpyre...

Greywolf had run hard and fast through the night before he arrived upon Ebonheart. Glancing through the gloom he made out a familiar shadow move swiftly across the bridge and hurry nervously down to the waters edge where a heavily armoured man stood waiting.
Moving slowly and surely, Greywolf slipped once again into the water and dived under the surface, swimming quickly towards the docks. Once under the pontoon he resurfaced and caught only a few words. ..."Dangerous mission".
Leaning awkwardly against the pontoon supports he pondered on what this mission could be, and against all his better reasoning, decided to follow the man charged with this task.

Kalloros turned and faced Vornac. The assassin noted a tenseness about the Hlaluu retainer that made him uneasy.
"I'm afraid the captain and his friend won't be joining us this evening Vornac. A discussion they held slashed my trust... and I'm afraid I had to return the favour." Kalloros stepped to one side to reveal the dead captain with blood gushing from his slashed jugular.

Vornac
"Hmm, they were going to kill us. Hmm, maybe they have connection with the Valpyres. Well thanks Kalloros, I'm going into the tavern, maybe I can catch some rumours if anyone knows about our plan..." Vornac said before he went off past the statue of the Imperial Dragon, without knowing about Greywolf... He went over and into the tavern, it was only one in the tavern. It was Ranius, Vornac didn't quite understand what he was doing there. He went up to his table where he satt drinking...
"Hi there... Ehm, what are u doing here. Are u with us or what, what did the Duke ask for?" he asked Ranius...
"Hehe, no... The Duke just asked me of our plan, and I told him. And, he suddently tok it more easly. I will leave to Cyrodiil in the morning, its soon morning anyway, haha. But I wont follow u onto this Island. It would cost me great said the Duke if I didn't return to the capitol. So I guess this is 'good bye' Vornac..." Ranius said beforing taking another sip of beer...
Vornac went to the bar asking for some drink and food. And he satt down at the bar, he thought it was a bad time to talk to Ranius. He was disappointed and maybe drunk. Vornac, didn't know what do while he was going to while he waited. It was still half an hour to midnight. The wound was getting better. Atleast it didn't damage his combat now at it did at first... Vornac started to drink his bear, but then he got a strange feeling. Moved over to the table by the window looking straight down to the docks. He could see a shadow like creature moving across the bridge over and against the docks. Looked like a humanoid, Dunmer. But he didn't really much care until he saw how it jumped over the side of the bridge and down near the water looking at Kalloros...
"What the hell...!?" Vornac said out loud in the tavern.
He went out, sneaking alone the bridge side. He took a peek over, seeing a Dunmer it looked like. He took took up a arrow for the bow and leaned over...
"What are u doing, who are u!?" he said to the Dunmer, it turned fast and jumped to the side sending a dart against Vornac with a increable speed. Vornac dodged the dart and threw himself down on the bridge. He got up, ran around and the Dunmer was gone...
(OOC: Sindre could it have been the assassin the spied on our group, Vornac only saw it was a Dunmer or something? Could it be Bradas Aralas...)

He knew that he was in deep trouble if Archmaster Vendal didn't get it was he want, atleast he would fail. To intercept the adventurers, he think that seemed like a last option. Ranius he thought, that naiv man. He could give me the information that I would want... He called on the two Royal Guards, sending them to summon Knight Errant Ranius...
He came not long after, just telling the adventurers in Morag Tong he would soon return. And that he didn't want to leave for Cyrodiil City if they were going to attack...
"Hello there Knight Errant... I told u to take a boat to the mainland and head for Cyrodiil. But insted I find u there, in Morag Tong with the adventureres and the outlanders!" he screamed out at Ranius...
"Lord Vivec has thought this over, and we want to hear the adventurers plans. Of this attack we would really need some information about how they are going to defeat the Valpure and Morania... How can they attack the Island with no army..." Zerath said to Ranius
"Ohh, my lord. You most have misunderstod. They are not going to attack at all... They are going to infiltrate and spy on their army. Thats all. They already have a plan, a adventurer named Davion is going to sett of a destraction, while the rest of them sneak in to the sewers from behinde. Its a little opening in the south that they are going to get in... Ehm, from there they will spy in a couple of days before returning during the night..." Knight Errant Ranius said...
Zerath, thought about it. He just stood there thinking, before going off to his bed. Starting to take of his armour as he usally weared.. Ranius could see his amulet. But nothing special about it, a normal amulet with a "K" on it...
"Exucse me my Lord. But your amulet, what does that "K" stand for..." he asked...
"Ohh haha, well Knight Errant Ranius... Its a amulet from a dear friend I met on the Mainland, in Mournholm. He gave me this amulet to protect me, his name was last name was Kaleth. And it had been passed over for generations... He gave me it, it is powerfull enchanted. Sometimes it glows, that means threat is near..." Zerath said, while he took it of and laying on the table by the bed. He looked back at Ranius. Thought it wasn't a real danger, they had no way to kill Morania. And the Valpyres would kill them on the site...
"Well... I guess I dont see much harm in that, I will let them infiltrate on their own lives. May the came home alive, if its succesfull you will be promoted to Brigadier General of the Morrowind Imperial Legion Ranius, but remember if something goes wrong its on you and your families expence. Even the adventurers will have a visit by my Guards. But still yet, I'm against this infiltration without our approval..." he walked up to Ranius, taking him on the shoulder...
"Leave now, and dont come here until their mission is done... When do they leave?" Zerath said...
"Tonight, at midnight they will meet here on the Ebonheart Docks, bye my lord..." Ranius said and went of without knowing what he just had done... Zerath locked the door, and he teleported himself to Midave Vendal, going up to his throne.
"My Archmaster Vendal, I have good news. They band of adventurers are not going to attack, they dont even have a weapon or artifact against Morania. They are just going to spy on their army, if the Valpyres attack them on the Island they wont get any information and would have a great risk of beeing attacked or mortaly wounded making them simple targets for a counter attack by your assassins... They will leave tonight, at midnight... I thought we could contact the Valpyres, telling them that a decoy will attack from the north while they sneak in from behinde and into the sewers... Thats all I got out of him my master..." Zerath said, and bow down waiting for a answer... He hoped Vendal would be glad for these news. The adventurers cant surivive more then two attacks, one from Morania and his/her (?) Valpyres and a counter attack if possible by our well trained assassins... He smiled...[/quote]
Midave approached Zerath.
"Good news, true. But I still want you to capture them, just in case they know more than I do. I still don't think that they would be foolish enough to walk into that demon's nest without protection of sorts. So I just want to make sure. And to get rid of them. I don't like adventurers that stick their noses everywhere. So send your ships to intercept them. Do so without question. I have thought about this matter long and hard, and I want to interrogate these adventurers. Do it. I shall await news of your succes and reward you appropriately. If you do not do what I have asked of you, the consequences will not be very pleasant for House Krellos, meaning that they will not be very pleasant for you either... Now go and do what I have set you out to do", said Midave.
Meanwhile, in Ebonheart, Bradas Aralas had been spotted by Vornac for a mere moment, after which he had disappeared. Not without throwing a dart at Vornac, however.
"Damn me for my carelessness. Two mistakes at once", the assassin said to himself and approached the boat on which Kalloros lay. "They will not see me again. I will make sure of it. They will not tell me apart from the shadows, nay they shall not", Bradas said to himself and became one with the shadows. Should anyone somehow manage to see him again, he would quickly kill the person who had seen him and then disappear into the bleak darkness of the night. Vornac himself had dodged Bradas' dart through sheer luck, for Bradas almost never missed.

Kalloros felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and was certain there was someone watching him with ill intent on their minds. Thinking quickly the assassin whirled round, dropped onto his back and fired into the shadows.

It was still afew hours 'till midnight and Vealon still had alot to do. He went up to his room and started paking potions, all sorts of other stuff, and his good luck charm that looked like a miniture golden saint. after he got all of his stuff, he went to leave, And to feed Channler some moere potions. After giving Channler more potions, Vealon left Channler in Silverblade's care, hugged her and left. Hestarted to run to ebonheart, his mind worried about the night's dangers adn risks, so before he knew it he made it to the town. As he walked to the docks he saw Kalloros lying on his back sating deeply into the shadows, so Vealon used a lighting ring, pulled out his handy sword, and made his way up to the dock.

Mar 31 2005, 11:55 PM
Davion wakes up at exactly 11 o'clock, and climbs out of bed. Davion started to stretch, and in doing so he ripped open his stab wound to his kidneys once again.
"This is not a good sign" Davion said to himself, then continued to drink a few health potions.
Once Davion had all his stuff ready, his armour on, and his Dai-Katana sheathed, he walked out of his room and over to the edge of the Arena Canton and looked outo Ebonheart and saw that the adventureers and already gathered and thought to himself, "Damnit! They've been waiting for me the whole time!" Davion then looks up at the moon to see that it had just turned Midnight.
Davion cast the spell of Water Walking, then climbed up on the ledge, took one last look at the adventurers as they were gathering into the boat, and jumped off onto the water.
Once on the water, Davion cast a spell of blinding light that shot up into the sky, illuminating everything for a brief second, thus being the signal.
Davion starts to run towards the island with his Dai-Katana out, leaving cut lines in the water that quickly faded away.

Vealon saw the sky light up for a breif minute, thinking Darn it Davion! we aren't ready yet! Vealon thought of a way to stop him. He finnaly decided to make the sky red for a while hoping that Davion will stop and relise that not everone was in position. "well, this is sad" vealon thought "we haven't even started and there is already a problem." After lighting the sky Vealon recalled and woke up Aki and the others, telling them to get on the boat in the ebonheart docks.

But he missed, for Bradas was sneaky and cautious. And he was willing to follow the adventurers undetected to the ends of the earth.
And now the Krellos assassin awaited the false Duke's ships, which would come soon. Very soon.

Apr 1 2005, 04:56 AM
Davion stops once he sees the red light, sliding across the waters surface. Davion saw Vealon waving at him, signaling that they aren't ready yet so Davion turns around to start to head back to Vivec when an arrow goes zooming by his face. Davion snaps around to see that one of the Valpyres' hired guards were standing on a rock at the edge of the island, then he noticed the guard turn around and shout out something to the other Valpyre.
Davion shot a colour into the air, the colour that signals distress, a blue light that lit up the sky, that caught Vealons attension.
Davion felt the scroll of Water Walking fading from underneath him and so he was forced to go to the nearest place with land; the island of the Valpyres.
Davion made a leaping jump off of the water towards the guard that had shot the arrow at him and sliced him in half with ease. Three more Valpyre rush Davion and forces him to get into his defencive stance. The first of the Valpyre does a straight out lunge at Davion, but Davion deflects it and slices him across the chest. The second Valpyre evades Davions attack and spins behind him but Davion snaps around and slashes upwards, sending him into the air then into the water. The third Valpyre sneaks up behind Davion and slashes his back, leaving a massive wound across it, and Davion lets out a scream that can be heard all the way from Ebonheart.
Adrenaline rushing, Davion back slashes the last Valpyre across the face, killing him instantly, then falls to his knees. Davion takes a swig of a healing potion and stands up to realize that he had sustained a leg injury.
Davion looks back at the adventurers standing on the dock of Ebonheart for a few seconds and thinks to himself, "Sorry i've failed you guys. ." then Davion turns back around and heads deeper into the island, out of sight from the Ebonheart docks.

The Archmaster of House Krellos would not be very happy if one of the adventurers escaped. Then again, going to the island of the Valpyres alone was suicide anyway.
Bradas knew that his master wanted all of the adventurers to be captured, so he drank a potion of invisiblity and then cast a spell of waterwalk on himself, after which he jumped on the water and ran towards the island of the Valpyres, intent on capturing Davion and bringing him back alive.
Oozae
Apr 1 2005, 11:23 AM
Oozae flew down to the gibbering crowd, the tiny hurricane which surrounded him effectively creating a landing space for him among the Kamal. The Kamal were big powerful, spell-wielding creatures who's body was nothing but hard inky darkness, two red slit's for eyes, blue horns on the head and a blue tail. Also they had no apparent ears, yet for some reason they were sensitive to high-pitched sounds. No wonder it was so easy to create a space among them, Oozae thought.
As the lashing winds and high-pitched sounds surrounding Oozae disappeared, the Kamal removed their hands from their heads and started to approach Oozae cautiously. "Are you the necromancer we were promised" said a Kamal from within the crowd. Oozae cast a calm spell to get rid of the Kamals suspicions. The kamal' stopped in their tracks and Oozae said "Yes I am. Lead me to the body quickly, for I am in a hurry" in a calm soothing voice. The Kamal seemed to relax even further after the Valpyre general spoke. A Kamal his height came forward and pointed to a spot which was quickly being cleared. When all of the Kamal' had shuffled out of the way to reveal an ancient rock door with runes carved into it, the Kamal who had approached Oozae said "therein lies our father, return him to us and we shall reward you. Good luck" with some emotion, strange to see in such a wierd creature. Oozae thanked him and approached the door.

Vornac saw Davion, but then he disappeard on the Valpyre's Island. He grabbed his bow and ran up to the statue. Calling on Kalloros and Vealon...!
"Guys... Damn! He is on the Island, we need to move now without Aki and his men. I dont want to lose Davion with no cause!" Vornac cried out calling them to the boat, he jumped to the boat. Soon starting to control it and made it to head out of against the Valpyre Island. He took up his bow while the boat slowly started to move against the Island. Started to aim over at the huge Island... Kalloros and Vealon made it to the boat (Ok?) and they got ready. The boat picked up speed, they could see the huge Island getting bigger and bigger and seeing a huge opening almost like a cave or the north sewer entrance. Vornac made a letter and took it on a normal arrow shooting it over to the Ebonheart and sticks the statue where it tells...
---
Davion is on the Island, Vornac, Kalloros and Vealon is heading there now. Come over to use what ever way, we are heading into the north sewer...
---
They could see the Island, and was soon to sett foot on it. But then, two huge Imperial Battleships appeared and cut them off stopping them completely. They had no chance to turn and head around, they were stuck. The Imperial Battleships was full of Imperial Soldiers of the Legion. The soon went onto the ship, and what looked like their leader sett foot...
"Your under arrest by the Empire and the Dunmer Temple for waging 'free war' come with us now and u will be putten into the Imperial Jail in Ebonheart for interrogation... Now, lay down your weapons and come over to our fleet...!" the Leader screamed out at them...
Vornac looked down, facing the truth that Davions life was lost. But he still would have a chance. With knowing that the Imperials couldn't follow them into the Island, Vornac said:
"Follow me..." he whisperd out...
And jumped over board taking a deep breath before swimming under the ships and over to the Island. He started to run into the deep darkness of the Island... With his bow up, and took up a strange rock from his pockets. He threw it up in the air and it started to hover 3 feet to the left infront of him and started to glow a weak light. Hard to see but it was just like a torch and lightend up the cave for those who is near the rock...
"Damnit, sleep in and the bastards leave ya..." Wayn commented. Aki frowned, reading the note left, which had to be taken forceably from a curious citizen. Couldn't people leave notes with messengers these days? Or did they have to be unnecesarily flashy like this? Bah, leaving without us, impatient twits... Aki thought to himself before crumpling the note up and tossing it away.
"We're commandeering this Vessel in the name of the Fighter's guild!" Leirah said, shooing a fisherman out of his boat with (most) of his stuff. Aki shrugged and jumped into the boat, followed by Wayn and Allimar.
The Boat set off after the boat Vornac had taken, soon encountering the battleships from before.
"Uhm...we're just fishing...yup, not going anywheres near no island..." Allimar had said, casting a spare fishing pole.

*** NIce idea Fuzzy Knight, I was wondering how I was going to get to the isle. lol Fuzzy Knight i wanted to be the first one to jump out of the boat. and p.s. I will be gone 'till tomorrow because I have a lock-in at church***
Vornac had a great Idea, not original, but gret idea to jump out of the boat and swim to the Island. After a few minutes of swiming they got to what looked like a cave, and Vornac lit the place up with a magical rock. Vealon akded Vornac "hey Vornac, were did you get the rock?" as he thought ware the back sewers were and how Davion was doing up on the surface.
davion
Apr 2 2005, 12:01 AM
Davion encountered many battles on his way into the island, sustaining minor injuries from each battle, unable to heal them for a lack of health potions.
Davion aproached the Arched door leading into the compound. As Davion reached for the door handle to open the door, Davion heard a swoosh through the air then a giant metal crunch. Davion snaped around to face behind him where the crush came from to see a a demon in full metal armour with spikes comming off the shoulders. His face was shadowed, save for a red glow that game from his eyes. The demons helmet was massive, with two giant horns comming off the sides.
"Wh. . . Who are you?!" Davion asked, fear almost consuming him.
"Who i am does not matter for you will not be alive long enough to memorize it." The demon said then charged at Davion, pulling out his two handed axe. Davion drew his Dai-Katana then rolled out of the way of the first attack. The demon yanked his axe out of the ground then spins around and charges Davion once again.
Davion puts up his blade to block the attack, but the force of the blow sends the Dai-Katana soring out of his hands and lands 50 feet away. The demon boot kicks Davion in the chest, sending him flying into the wall. Davion lets out a scream but it is cut short when the demon charges Davion and grabs him by the neck and lifts him up.
"And you helped the Nerevar 51 years ago . . . Pathedic!" then the demon threw him into a group of jagged rocks.
Thankfully, Davions armour helped keep the rocks from piercing the skin. Davion staggered to his feet, then noticed his sword was right besides him, so he picked it up and noticed the demon run at him once again, but this time it was different. Davion got into a attack position then once the demon got close enough he ducked down and slashed him across the belly, killing him.
Exausted from the battle Davion sits down on the floor to try to regain his stamina. Not more than 30 seconds into his rest he saw 4 Valpyre drop down from the roof and run towards him. Davion got to his feet, barely able to keep a grip on his sword, and prepares for the first blow.
The first of the 4 Valpyres dropped with ease. The second of the Valpyre took his two handed sword and smacked Davions Dai-Katana out of his hands and sliced upwards across his chest. Davion screamed out in pain before dropping to his knees.
The third of the Valpyre walked up to Davions back, reached his glass longsword up into the air, and sent the sword piercing through Davions back, penatrating his heart. Davion Tried to scream, but nothing would come out of his mouth except for blood. After a few seconds Davion slunches over on the edge of the blade, lifeless.
The last thought through Davions mind was the visions of all his friends he had made on this adventure; Channler, Vealon, Aki, Vornac, and the others. Visions of their smileing and laughing faces. Even under all the pain, seeing all his friends one last time put a smile on his face, then Davion breathed his last breath and the Valpyre dissapeared, leaving Davion spiked on the sword.

Sinder Velvin
Apr 2 2005, 08:14 AM
Midave Vendal was expecting news of Zerath's success, but he did not receive them, so he summoned Zerath to him. If Zerath had failed his mission, the Archmaster would not have a lot of mercy on him.
Meanwhile, Bradas had reached the island of the Valpyres, still invisible. He was unable to capture Davion, for Davion had been killed. But Davion's sheer courage made Bradas believe that the adventurers did not come here to commit suicide; that they had an artifact with them that could defeat Morania, and thus bring the downfall of the entire Valypric race. He approached Davion's corpse to see if he had any mythical artifacts on him, but the dead man carried nothing that could defeat Morania.
That is when the assassin used a detect humanoid spell, to see if any Valpyres were near, but he detected more adventurers, who had reached the island. Zerath had failed and had been unable to capture the adventurers. Pure incompetence. But Bradas knew how Zerath would be rewarded for his folly.
However, Bradas realized that he could capture the adventurers all by himself. After all, he was the greatest assassin of House Krellos, a very dangerous person. So he found his way into the cave where the adventurers were and snuck behind them. There were only 3 of them, not all. But, should more have come, he would have dealt with them as well.
Still hidden in the shadows, the assassin took out his bow and his quiver of poisoned arrows that drained the Fatigue of anyone hit by them. He aimed one of these arrows at Kalloros, after which he spoke.
"You are under arrest by the will of the Duke of Vvardenfell", he said.
Vealon, Vornac and Kalloros turned towards the assassin.
"Resist arrest and I shall be forced to capture you by force. I do not have any intention of killing you, so do not force me to kill you. I am not your enemy, I am your friend. And I do not know why anyone would want to stop you from saving Morrowind, nay, all the world, since it is such a courageous and valiant endeavor, for which you should be treated as heroes, not as traitors, but I am certain that you are innocent of any misdoings. But, yet, I ask you to come with me, and to prove that you are completely innocent and did not participate in any actions of treason against the great Empire of Tamriel. Please understand that this is for your own good. Would you rather venture deep within this island and do deeds that only the greatest heroes of all times could do, and then come back to the world of the civilized, to the lands of the Empire, and be treated as traitors, and sought out by everyone, only to be captured and made to live the rest of your lives in prisons, or even to be killed on sight if deemed necessary. Please let yourselves be taken in, so that you can prove to everyone in Tamriel that you are completely innocent. And then perhaps more people will hear of your cause and join you. So many that an entire army of the bravest warriors and mages and rogues in Tamriel shall storm that island. Or perhaps you could make even the armies of the Empire attack the island. Come with me and redeem yourselves in front of the Empire. I ask this of you as a friend" he then said.
The three adventurers thought of what they should do. Even if Kalloros knew that House Krellos was rumored to have ties with the general of the Valpyres, Bradas wore no House Krellos amulet, and thus could not be a member of that house.
Oozae
Apr 2 2005, 11:09 AM
Oozae looked at the runes which were inscribed in an arc over the door while the mass of Kamal waited patiently for something to happen and looked at him expectantly. The runes probably told you how to open the door, Oozae thought. Then he gave a mental shrug and smashed the door to pieces with a powerful lightning spell. The Kamal all gasped in unison at the sight of the broken door, making a sound not unlike a breath of wind. Oozae ignored them and went in, expecting some sort of attack, for surely the Kamals greatest king's body would somehow be protected.
As Oozae trudged through the dank cave, the minute's seemed to take forever and boredom took over. He soon realised that his assumption that he would be attacked was completely and utterly wrong. Oozae looked around again at the cobwebbed rock corridor, I'm nowhere near Ada'Sooma, he thought. It would have been impossible for anyone to guess that this was a tomb without the knowledge beforehand for all you could see was plain empty darkness relentlessly bounding down on you. If he was in here for more than a day, and if he were one of the lesser races, then he would have gone mad, thought Oozae as he stopped looking at the floor, walls and ceiling.
Oozae felt something strange, "there must be something magical here" he said, determined to find the body and return to the island before he got into any trouble. Suddenly, Oozae stopped. There was a dead end, but Oozae was strangely unsatisfied and reached out and touched the wall. It was solid enough, Oozae thought. But he had a nagging feeling that something was missing. After pondering what to do for a few minutes, Oozae cast dispell.
Where there was once a wall, there was now a humongous gate made of what looked to be very blue ice, but when Oozae punched it, it proved to be stronger than ice. Annoyed at this obstruction, Oozae cast a powerful fire spell he had perfected himself. It did no harm whatsoever to the gate. It did however bounce back and narrowly miss Oozae, inflicting some minor burns on him. Oozae cast some more harmless spells at the looming gate, his anger growing. And then an idea occurred to him, it might just be another illusion! But then he threw the idea out of his head as he remembered he had already cast a dispell spell.

Vornac
Vornac stood with his bow, the arrow to. But he didn't aim, he looked up at the assassin. He didn't answer Vealon about the stone, that was not important now. Davion was still in there, and he didn't know what had happend...
"We have our cause to come here... Dont even try to stop us Dunmer. We dont need a army, or the proval of the Empire to venture into this Island..." Vornac said and started to walk deeper into the cave, he gave a last look into the eyes of the assassin before heading into the darkness, taking away his magical stone... With Kalloros and Vealon behinde him he said...
"Locate Davion, and teleport back... Give us notice if u found him, our infiltration wont work now" Vornac said, and started to run in against where Davion was, following the trace of dead Valpyres. Vornac still had hope that Davoin would be alive, but in the end he found him. With a sword through his heart. The Valpyres was gone. Vornac stopped, looking at Davion. Almost felling a tear... He went up to him, and lifted his body over his shoulder.
And started to head out, but something was wrong...
"Your friend is dead Master Vornac, he ventured in here only to meet his death. Your friends to are soon to become my loyal servants in hell while their souls will give me power. Davion here have given me much power..." a voice said inside Vornac's head. It was the creature, from Fighters Guild. He lay down Davions body looking around, soon a shadow appeared behinde him forming a creature, the one creature from Fighters Guild. It looked into to Vornac's eyes, piercing into his mind reading his thoughts... Knowing that Kalloros and Vealon was far behinde him. That Vornac was now alone. The creature soon spread a darkness around Vornac, almost impossible to see. Vornac's Dunmer eyes started to glow, the arcane and divine power gave him the strength to see in the dark...
"Darkness wont help u here Creature... I hope u still remember my bow" Vornac said trying to intimidate the creature...
"Your brave to come here to my realm Vornac, but for what cause. Your friend is already dead. Your destraction didn't work, and now the Empire will lock u in when u come out... Your mortals, still supprise me of your dumbness..." the creature spoke out... It's eyes started to show glimts of lighting, like the spell he used on Vornac in Fighters Guild.
Before Vornac had a chance to dodge, he sent out a ray of lighting at Vornac's wound. Sending him right into the cave wall... Losing his bow, and arrow on the ground. Vornac reached for his sword and drew it, looking into the creatures glowing eyes...
"That wont help u here Vornac..." the creature said, Vornac felt a strange magic coming up against him. His sword turned black, before turning into a 5 feet long black serpent, Vornac didn't have a chance. It took in a bite right in his right arm before starting to strangle him. Vornac lifted his wounded hand. A strange blue light appeared and he sent out a ray at the serpent, Dispell Magic. It turned back to his sword, but he was now feeling the poision. The creatue went up to him, its eyes turned green before sending another ray of green fire at him. His flesh started burning, he could see the flesh on his fingers and hand starting to disappear as he coverd his face. He looekd down at his wound, his ribbs started to disintigrate. Vornac gave of a cry, before sending a ray of dark blue light into the creature's eyes.
It turned back, leaning forwad again letting off a laughter at Vornac's magic. It went up to him again, sending a chain of lighting around his body. Vornac cried out, while the lighting was around his body. He started to lose his vision. Before the creature let go of him. It went inside his mind... Showing him images of how Davoin died, of how his friends would join the Valpyres and kill innocent in Morrowind. Vornac tried to avoid it, it was only a trick. But its magic was from a God, a god more powerfull then Vivec ever could have dreamed of. The creature raised its hand, shadow like skeleton hand. Pointing down at Vornac. It started glowing a dark purple light, fire like. Vornac took his hand inside his pocket, his flesh still burning. He took up a little amulet. Of Ebony with a dark blue sharp diamond inside. He took it on himself, it was a amulet he got from the Witch Doctor on the mainland. The creature let of a magic spell powerfull enought to slay a god like Vivec. The amulet rised started to glow, drawing the magic inside the diamond. But still the magic hand a effect on Vornac. He got lifted over the ground and felt like knives pierced into his heart...
The Creature sent of a ray of green fire and lighting. The amulet drawing magic from both of them. It didn't gather all thought, Vornac was dying. Its magic was to powerfull for him, it sent off a ray of acid at Vornac. He took up his arm trying to deflect it, it burned his skill and his skeleton started to melt. It melted through his armour and soon against his heart. But but the amulet held it back from his heart. But then the creature set of a scream. And a strange light came out of its chest before seeing Kalloros dagger coming out, and Vealon charging it and slashing the creature almost in half. The creature turned into dust and appeared behinde them, wounded it disappeared with a laugh... Vornac gave off a smile, but he was to wounded to even raise his arm. He gathers his bow and sword. Handing out a scroll to Kalloros...
"Teleport... us to Vivec... its lost..." he said and pointed at Davions body... "Take his body to..." he said before fading... His amulet gave off a aura. It started to heal Vornac's wound while he was still between death and the life he had lived. Out of the shadows appeared the assassin (Bradas) seeing the three adventurers before Kalloros lifted the scroll...

Zerath
Zerath was summoned to Vendal. He went forward, knowing Vendal would be the last person he would see. Knowing he had failed. He spoke out...
"Sorry my master. They managed to escape from the Imperials and onto the Island. But I know I've failed and I will accept my destiny by your sword" he said kneeling down infront of Vendal... Zerath knew if there was one way of getting it up again it was to either capture them himself or, try again. But the Imperial Legion was no match for the adventurers. That was when he thought of the High Ordinators in Mournholm. Those who guarded Alamexia, those would maybe be powerful enought to capture the adventurerers...

Bradas had made the mistake of hesitating. The three adventurers had been right in front of him, and yet he had not captured them. He did not know what was wrong... Perhaps he felt pity for these adventurers, despite the fact that he had been raised as a cold and remorseless killer? Would he let them kill themselves? He could not join them in their quest of foolish self-destruction, but he knew that they would be better off in the hands of House Krellos than dead, on an island full of devilish beings, with no one to even bury their bodies.
Unsure of what to do, he waited several minutes, thinking of what he should do next, after which he heard the sounds of battle and decided to capture the adventurers. He walked through the darkness, using only his five senses to guide him, eventually seeing Vornac the Dunmer in a fight with one of the devilish creatures living on that island. Kalloros and Vealon came to Vornac's aid, but found Vornac nearly dead. Kalloros took a scroll of teleportation and prepared to teleport himself and his two friends back to Vivec City. But Bradas aimed his bow at Vornac.
"Put the scroll down. Now. Or I shall kill your wounded friend with one poisoned arrow, and not even the gods will be able to bring him back from the dead", Bradas told Kalloros. "Trust me on this: it is better to be in a prison than in the cold clutches of death", he added.
Meanwhile, in the House Krellos stronghold of Molagmora, Midave Vendal was a very upset Dunmer.
"You have failed me, Zerath. Are your words as sweet as your blade is swift? Incompetent fool... Kneel before me and beg for forgiveness, or I shall kill you like a dog!"

Zerath
He looked up at Vendal, he was pissed off. He knew that he might stay alive, but for what. Vendal wouldn't just let him go by asking for forgivness... He closed his eyes, and then looked up at Vendal.
"I ask for forgivness... but what will u do with my Archmaster Vendal, remember. I'm a assassin, my charismatic abilities cant work everytime. Its not my fault the Imperial Legion are such wimps as they are, but I thought about summoning the last 5 of the Her Hands High Ordinators to aid your assassin in capturning these adventurers, or maybe turn them over to your House..." he said and awaited a answer from Archmaster Vendal...

Midave looked at Zerath and sighed.
"I will not hurt you, Zerath. But to me, you have lost your honor. If you wish to regain it, you shall have to once again try to capture the adventurers. Use whatever it takes. And if you capture them, I shall forgive you. But if you fail again, be prepared to say your prayers... Now go, and do not return until you have them captured", Midave told Zerath.

Jonajosa sat on the wrecked boats egde waiting for Kalloros to appear.
"Where is he?" Jonajosa said to himself. "He should have been here already.That stupid sevant must not know how to deliver a message."
Jonajosa looked at the bridge and then at the trees across the river and nodded. The assassins were waiting an ready.

Kalloros tried desparately to calm himself, for he knew that if he lost control to the panic that was threatening to overwhelm him both him and Vornac would die. Breathing deeply he thought about how he should handle the situation. He was not true friends with Vornac, for he vowed long ago that he would never make the mistake in placing his utter trust and friendship in another only to be brutally betrayed. But still, he liked the Dunmer and would feel terrible if he just let him die and burn in the fires of eternity. But he also knew that the leaders of house Krellos would likely torture and kill them if they were to be captured. Seeing only one acceptable way out of this he whispered to Vornac,
"Goodbye my friend." He quickly read the incantation on the scroll while holding it to Vornac. Bradas let out a hiss of anger and fired his arrow, but it was too late for Vornac was transported back to Morrowind. Slowly, Kalloros drew his blades and tried to smile, despite the harrowing fear flooding his veins due to realization of his impending death.
"Now..." Kalloros said looking at the score of Valpyre surrounding him, "let me show you how a REAL callous disagreeable person kills."
edit: don't turn the the 'b word' back into 'honoured user' again please. That's just childish and immature.
Staff Member's Note: It was put in the autocensor because we figured that, if it would be used, it would be used in insults mostly. I hope you won't mind too much if I change it to "disagreeable person".

Vealon just saw Vornac get teleported from Danger by Kalloros, and then they were sarrounded by a score of Valpyre and Vealon knew they were probebly were going to die. The thing that mostly sucked was that we weren't going to be known as heros but as traitors and criminals. The beasts just kept showing up by the pair and by then two or three score had come and then, finnaly, it seemed as thou the valpyre stopped coming. Vealon knew they had a very slim chance to survive, so He thought that it would be best to flee and fight another day, they had, after all, killed one of the big baddies. So Vealon saod to Kalloros, "hey Kalloros, catch!" as he threw his amulet of divine intervention to him.after he threw the amulet, he got his own ring ready, just in case.
***or were did you teleport vornac???***

Kalloros jammed the amulet onto his hand frantically and activated it. Just before he got transported by the divine intervention spell imbued in the amulet one of the Valpyre fired an arrow into his chest narrowly missing his lungs. Screaming in agony, Kalloros hurled a throwing knife at Bradas and screamed at Vealon to activate his ring. Then all was lost in a haze of blurring colours and he found himself outside Vivec temple.
edit: I don't know where Vornac got tranported to, he will have to decide for himself.

Vornac
Vornac got teleported to the Vivec Arena in the Guildhall. It was emty as the Guild members had walked out to see the attack on the Island. Vornac, was starting to get healed by his amulet. His eyes opening slowly, the light burned in his eyes... He closed them, thought all his friends was dead. And he was very weak, he had no chance to even fight off a little boy now. He was too weak, it felt like it was his first time he used his muscles. He looked up at the pictures in the roof of the Guildhall, of great assassins and Grandmasters. But then he heard the trap door opening, without knowing who it was he reached for his sword.. But he blacked out and it went dark!
(OOC: Because Vealon and Kalloros used another kind of teleport, u can come to the Vivec Temple. And Bradas is now in the Guildhall ready to capture Vornac. Because he needs to capture him... Ok?)

All went chaotic as the assasin and the Valpyre attacked, Vealon thought he heard Kolloros yell at him to activate his ring but he wasn't sure, so he hoped for the best and he activated the ring, taking a beast out with one upward motion as the assasin came down on his arm, losing his blade, and then vanishing into mid air. He appered in the Guild hall, with a smirking assasin hanging on his arm. Oh great, he thought. How was he going to explane this to the others? "oh he foolowed he home, can we keep it?" no I'm scruged and then at that moment the elf attacked and tied Vealon to the bed.
***ok, I got the assasin into the guildhall, If anyone has any good objections to this act, I'll change my post. and Deamon, I think you should find yourself outside of vivec temple, i would think***

Bradas' rage had made him attack the adventurers even though there had been Valpyres all around. The Valpyres did not attack him when they say this, and they simply welcomed his aid... But although he had, through a strange twist of fate, been able to capture Vealon, he had not been able to capture Kalloros. The enemy assassin had single-handedly foiled his plans, and for this Bradas vowed to take revenge.
After he tied Vealon to the bed, completely immobilizing him, he punched the Breton in the face many times, eventually making the wounded Vampire Hunter lose consciousness. He then walked through the Morag Tong headquarters, to see if there were any Morag Tong members around. He found only a few, and he killed them all with his bow. Apparently, the Morag Tong assassins were somewhere else. After walking around for a while, Bradas managed to find the very wounded Vornac, who he hit over the head, making him lose consciousness as well. He then picked up Vornac's body and held it on his left shoulder, after which he went to Vealon, untied him, and picked up his body as well, holding it on his right shoulder. The huge weight that he had to carry made Bradas unable to sneak, so he had to drink a potent potion of chameleon, after which he cast a fortify strength spell on himself.
He then cast Recall on himself, and was taken to Ebonheart, where he threw himself in the water and swam towards the underwater entrance to the caves below Ebonheart, his little hideout. Once there, he put the bodies on the cave floor and tied them, after which he went to the Duke's chambers. His chameleon spell had already expired by now.
The guards at the castle knew him, as they had seen him speak with the Duke before. Bradas had no problems getting to Zerath.
"Hello, Zerath. You and I... Have certain matters to discuss", he said. "I see you alive, even though you obviously failed. Did the Archmaster take mercy on you?" he asked and awaited an answer.
OOC: Please don't do anything with Vornac or Vealon until Fuzzy Knights replies as Zerath and I reply to his reply.
