Posted by: Loranna Today, 12:01 AM

Hello, and welcome to our Elder Scrolls Role Playing threads, where we adventure and socialize in the vibrant land of Tamriel.

Before we begin, we'd like to clarify a few things:

This is an 'open roleplay' and everyone is encouraged to join in at any time!

'Open' roleplay does not mean 'unorganized' or 'limitless', however. The events in this story are usually planned, and if something BIG happens, you can be certain that it is the result of much discussion between players, usually in the mIRC chat (#Loranna_RP). This is not just a bunch of disorganized individuals doing what they think would be fun for their character at the time.

So, while everyone is welcome to join in, they are NOT welcome to jump in and do big, world-changing things without DISCUSSING IT FIRST. Let me be very clear about what cannot be done without permission:

1:
Any action that effects another person's character, for ill or good. Although most people realize they can't harm another person's character without permission, many don't realize that you can't HELP another character without permission, either. Many characters have flaws for a reason. Don't go healing, saving, or otherwise fixing another character without DISCUSSING IT FIRST with the player involved.

2:
Any event that would drastically change things that have been done to the world, whether the change is physical (rebuilding destroyed locations), political (converting a population to a new cause), military (killing off all the badguys) or anything else. Almost every situation, good or bad, that exists in the RP was done for some reason. Don't go changing or fixing things without DISCUSSING IT FIRST with the group.

Everyone who is involved in the RP is welcome in the mIRC chat channel #Loranna_RP. If you have a plot idea then you are encouraged to go there and discuss it. If you cannot get on the channel for some reason, or if the player whos character you would affect with your plan is not there, then PM them using this board's PM function. That's what it's there for.

For information on reaching #Loranna_RP via Mirc or Chatspike, look http://www.ravensky.org/irc/.

Not following the above advice will only result in one thing: your post is likely to be completely ignored by everyone as if it did not happen. This is obvously not good for anyone, so please, discuss major events before doing them.

Remember: Secret plans and surprises are seldom fun for anyone else. Before they're revealed they're boring, because nobody knows about them, and afterwards they're just annoying, because nobody knew about them.
Thank you, and have fun!

"Oh!" said Cydarius, leaving his roast, and his embarrassment, behind. "You were an Ordinator? I'm sure you're a great benefit in this, then. Fine soldiers, you Ordinators."



"Kratos would agree with you," Goranthir, who was at the dinner table with the others, grinned.

Summary: Shaka, an Argonian battlemage, is sitting next to Anya at the meal with the Legionnaires and others of Loranna's companions.

"Loranna, I'm not sure I'll be able to fight tomorrow, as I'm planning on studying for at least part of the day at the Mage Guild. I'll have to play it by ear tomorrow."

"Cyndarius, I couldn't help being curious about your scout's nickname, Spooky. Has he had mage training, or some natural gift?"

Spooky said something quietly in elvish that nobody at the table quite heard or understood, but it didn't sound very polite.

"Um, well..." said Cyndarius, "we can't really pronounce his name without mutilating it, you see..."

"And he's [censored] spooky, ain't he?" Merey chimed in.

"Right," said Cyndarius. "That about covers it."

"I see," Loranna says, before turning to Shaka.

"We can arrange to fight in the afternoon, leave you and others the morning to study," Loranna points out. "Trust me, much as I love magic myself after a few hours of intense spell research I'm ready for a change of pace."

Kratos looked at Goranthir, "And you would not agree?" He said short tempered as he was, "I don't know if you are familiar with Ordinators but I would be happy to demonstrate my seasoned skills to you."

Kratos snapped his attention to Tris and spoke in an angry tone, "Would you also like a demonstration Tris?" Kratos put his hand on his mace and was ready to loose it from his belt.

Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 12:28 AM

Slyvos stumbled in around now, a sack that was full of several little figurines in his left hand. One of those rats was following him.

Rat: yessss, we will conquer this world! oh wait... CHEESE! squeak!

The khajiit smiled, using a light spell to get everyone's attention.

"That's enough, people," Loranna says, her tone reaching a rare angry tone. "We're here to learn to fight together, not with one another. Kratos, stand down; there's no call for swinging that around here."

She adds " ... And let's not prod one another at the dinner table either; save it for the next bout."

"Tris has a point," said Shaka. "Kratos, I know how much the Ordinators meant to you, but that's in the past now along with much else. Ald Raathim seems to be the place of second chances."

Shaka was hoping the look of love in his eyes for Anya wasn't too apparent yet. He tried to keep the conversation with her and the others casual this day.

Tris was standing up, with a mocking smile on his face and a reply ready on his lips, when Slyvos entered.

He turned his attention to the Khajiit. Seeing Jazbet's animated corpse still made him a little nervous, and he hadn't known Jazbet well.

Loranna turns to the direction of the light spell, and her tone changes noticably.

"Slyvos ...!" Loranna shakes her head, smiling. "A bit of a dramatic entrance from you, dear. Glad you came though; the food's disappearing fast ..."

Krtos took his hand off his Gavel and sat down in his chair, "I apoligize my lady, I seem to have quite a bit of Ordinator blood still in me." He looked back toward Tris and Goranthir with a smirk on his face as he thought to himself, "They wouldn't pose much of a challenge anyway."

That shut up Goranthir, who was standing next to Tris, in the middle of doing his impression of an Alit's victory howl ... "Sorry, my lady."

He turned towards Slyvos as well. "My lord."




Posted by: Aki Today, 12:38 AM

Reichi, who had been watching the others with a slightly amused grin, turned to Slyvos.

Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 12:40 AM

Slyvos smiled at Loranna, nodding to the others. He snagged himself a seat and, to the surprise of most of the others, ate almost all of what was left.

'sorry, was hungry.'

He snuck a piece of cheese under the table to the rats.

Razbiah promptly brought in more food, and left with a un-Jazbiah-like giggle.

Reichi, who had been watching the others with a slightly amused grin, turned to Slyvos.

"Reichi, isn't this about the first time Slyvos has joined us at dinner? Maybe he's coming out of his shell after all . . . ."

Shaka had never known Jazbet, so it didn't seem as strange to him to see his body occupied by Slyvos as it appeared to be to others. He knew that Slyvos was formerly an ancient lich, though Shaka didn't really know just how ancient.



Posted by: Allerleirauh Today, 12:42 AM

Tris was trying not to giggle at Goranthir's Alit impression. He grinned at the boy.

Posted by: Aki Today, 12:44 AM

Reichi blinked. "Dude...even I can't eat like that."

Loranna gives Goranthir a quick grin, saying "Everyone ... this is Slyvos, my finace, who has been working on a project to aid us in our planning."

She looks at Slyvos. " ... How is said project coming along, dear?"


Posted by: SpartanShea117 Today, 12:46 AM

Kratos looked toward the Khajit with distaste, "Hello Slyvos, it would help everyone if you didn't bring your filthy vermin in here."

Goranthir returned the smile, and took his seat again. "Greetings, Lord Slyvos, your reputation preceeds you."

And then he looked at Kratos, and bit his tongue for a rather obvious remark for a 16-year-old.


Posted by: Rhedd Today, 12:50 AM

Spooky the dark-eyed Bosmer sat quietly at Cyndarius's side, watching Shaka carefully as he ate. Each time the Argonian used his fork, or wiped his mouth, or raised his cup, Spooky would attempt to match the action. He was awkward at this, at best, and was obviously not used to sitting at a proper table with proper cutlery.

"THAT's it," Tris said, standing back up. "Is that how you speak to the master of this house, in his own house? I see only one vermin in this hall."

Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 12:53 AM

Slyvos smiled, ignoring the one at the table that was obviously agitated with him.

'actually, look in the sack. I've got it done finally.'

He held up a figurine of Loranna, perfectly polished and painted.

Cyndarius looked up from his clean plate, and Gruznob tilted his heavy head and looked at Tris.

Summary for Tsei.

Tsei, the female argonian, is listening with rapt attention to Falco's stories of grandeaur.

IC: "Really, four orcs?"


Summary for Isidor.

Isidior, the male nord, is listening to the conversation.

IC: "I've forgotten my manners it seems." Isidor says. "Pleasure to meet you." He reaches his hand across the table and shakes hands with the legionarries, and then he turns to Sylvos. "We've met before, but under much worse circumstance. Good to meet you."

Goranthir stood up with Tris, a little ashamed that he bit his tongue earlier.

He let out a series of squeaks, greeting the mice in their own language.

“When the sky falls will you know enough to tilt your head up away from the dirt you cling so callously to?” Arynel asked, though to who was non discernable.

"Can we get along for once at a meal without fighting?" asked Shaka. He was a little distracted by Spooky's imitations. At least the Bosmer didn't seem to be eying the company like potential steaks.

"Kratos," Loranna says in a too-calm tone, "We have welcomed you into our home and shown you hospitality; I understand you have pride in your abilities but it would behoove you to show the same respect shown you in turn."

She looks ready to say more but holds back, memories of the tavern brawl in Stormhold and Tohe's duel with Rodastyr fresh in her mind.

Isidor spoke, in a calm, slow voice. "Kratos, sit down and enjoy your meal. I don't think Loranna or Sylvos would appreciate a fight, in their castle. We are all guests here, I suggest you appreciate that." He returned to his food.

"I'm starting to see, I think," said Cyndarius, "why I'm here."

"You all have a need to work as a team, I'm told? And I'm supposedly here to help you do that.

"So, here's my first suggestion, if I'm not overstepping my bounds, here; The next one of you that threatens one of the other of you learns why you don't do that casually."

Gruznob smiled.

"Sound fair?" said Cyndarius.

Posted by: Sheogorath Today, 01:07 AM

"Bluster and bloviation, ignorance and arrogance," Goranthir narrowed his eyes. "I have known many Ordinators, and their memory is not well served by your constant bragging and thin-skinned threats --"

He looked like he was going to continue, but stopped at Cyndarius's words.

Loranna's hands had been clenching the hem of her dress; they loosen their hold as Cyndarius speaks.

"That sounds more than fair," she says, bowing her head. "Thank you Captain ... everyone, this is a stupid thing to be arguing about."

Her brow is still furrowed, though.


Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 01:12 AM

Slyvos sighed, looking around at everyone.

'not to sound rude, but can you all just drop it? If I had been offended he wouldn't be sitting there anymore anyway. So, are we good?'

He looked to loranna again, setting the figurine of her back on the table. Heh, such fun this would entail.

Isidor spoke again "My question is, among all this in fighting, can we actually work as a team? Or would we be too busy beating in each other's skulls?"

He returned to his plate, wondering if anyone heard him.

He left the room.

Kratos reached for his helm and put it on, "I will have respect for those who will respect me and my skills not insult them!" Kratos said as he sat back down to hide the anger on his face. "You should know by now that I don't take kindly to this blasphemy!" Kratos remained silent for a while as he listened to what Cyndarius had to say and thought to himself, "That threat will get him killed also."

It is doubtful that anyone at the table had heard an orc whistle before, but they had now.

Cyndarius spoke, "My father always used to say, 'If you're going to fart at the dinnertable, you might as well do the whole deed.'

Slyvos growled, looking around with an uncharacteristic look of frustration.

"You have something to say to me, Kratos. Say it." His last words, though calm and even, made the wooden table shake.

Loranna closes her eyes for a moment, then turns to Slyvos.

"So, these will now respond to our intents?" she asks Slyvos quietly, keeping her eyes on Kratos and Cyndarius as she does.

More quietly, she says to Slyvos " ... Dear, no one's got the right to just come out and insult you like that ..."

In the hall outside of the room, Goranthir caught up to Tris. He was angry, but he was also ashamed.

"I'm sorry, I was the start of that," the young ranger said. "I shouldn't have mocked him."

Tris turned to Goranthir.

"You didn't have to follow me out. Although I suppose he did threaten to kill you too. Damn Loranna! She's always been like this. It's why she's not the leader of our Eight."

The two of them had talked over each other. Now Tris heard what Goranthir had said.

"He was begging to be mocked," Tris said. "And if someone's going to threaten to kill me on a whim, I'd rather get it over with than dance around it."

Isidor sighed and said "It was nice to meet you, Cyndarius. I look foward to practicing with you and your men tommorrow, but right now, it's a little too warm for this Nord in here."

He stood up, and walked out of the hall, a frown on his face.

Post Summary for Walter:
Walter walks into the hall, smelling dinner. He raises his eyebrows at the duo outside and slips into the room. He sits down, and tries not to stare at the group. He can feel the tension in the room.

'okay, let me just say one thing. Threaten anyone in this house again, and I won't hesistate to have you thrown out with more magical wounds then you would normally, if you'd just keep your mouth shut.'

He turned to Loranna again.

Kratos got up and bowed toward Loranna and slyvos, "Thank you for your hospitality but I must go cool off." Kratos was fuming he thought, "What better way to take out his anger than on some Daedra", he had noticed a few shrines on his way to Ald Raathim and he figured he'd go there.

Before he left the castle he ran into Goranthir and Tris, "Well it seems I have much to apoligize for, Tris, Goranthir i'm sorry for the way I had acted in the dining room and I beg your forgivness and I understand if you do not accept, I will leave Ald Raathim if you wish it seems that I am not wanted here as well."

Tris had been regarding Goranthir with a rueful smile, feeling humbled by the young Dunmer's trust, when Kratos approached.

He blinked a moment in surprise. "No, don't leave. An apology is exactly what's called for."

He offered the former Ordinator his hand. "I was being a bit of an [censored] myself. It can't be pleasant having all your companions killed in such a way; I shouldn't have teased you about it."

A large figure materialized on the guild guide platform of Ald Raathim. Exquisite clothing, shimmering with enchantment, encased and gave form to rolls of thick fat which spoke eloquently of a man not given to self-denial. Fernando Illington, reknowned illusionist, master of restoration and Master Wizard of the Mages Guild, ambled awkwardly out of the large building, pausing to demand directions of a busy apprentice carrying vials of alchemical samples.

He didn't usually respond to such calls for a trainer. But Ald Raathim? Dominion of the "Accursed Mother", frequented by other individuals of power reputation? This was too much to resist. One could only stand so much teaching of the spoiled, ill-disciplined children of Nobility. He chortled as he thought to himself. "No one should be able to behave like that until they've earned the right." Still smiling, he continued down the path, eager to introduce himself to the Lady of Daruhn. It had been too long since he had excitement. This should be fun.

Loranna had raised her eyebrows when Kratos and Tris returned, but Tris's suggestion was good. With a bit of work and some table-clearing, they could re-create their fight with Dram and the others.

Instead, she blushed and smiled quietly to herself, returning to the kneadable material in her hands- the toy dreugh order she had been working on almost since she had given Loranna the figurines.

Perhaps she should change the focus of her business; her sculptures were so much more intricate, and surely word would spread about the battling figurines Loranna and Company kept - it seemed that word spread about everything that wasn't ultrasecret.

Figurines paid better, too.

And our foes are likely to take any chance they can to divide us up - going off on our own without support from the team is just making their job easier."

Loranna frowns.  "Anya, the thing is - you shouldn't be stopping raining arrows down on the enemy.  That's why we have an archer on our team to begin with.  And why we've got someone to run interferance for you should someone breaks through our fighter's line."

"As I mentioned, I hadn't given it much thought past what I said. I know that I myself have a harder time with group tactics. All my training went to fighting people with only myself for resources. My situation awareness is high because of it, and I'll know what the others are doing; but implenting what they're doing into a plan is hard for me. I was just seeing if there was a way to work with that. I suppose if someone was there to help direct the fight, it'll go smoothly. Just not that Ordinator." She mentioned that last part out of impulse.

"That's why I've asked Cyndarius to help us," Loranna says. "I'm aware, we lack a strong group leader right now ..."

Her brow furrows slightly as she talks.

"We should all sit down and discuss strategies as well; that's partly why we had the figurines enchanted, so we can play things out before trying them for real," she adds.

"I think our versatility is a strength," Goranthir said. "We can step in in multiple roles. If we found ourselves fighting in a place where an archer wasn't as useful, say, a dense forest, we may want to alter our plans. We should have multiple formations for different situations, not just one that suits the arena."

Slyvos took his figurine, as it play-fought one of the rats. what a glorious battle! Til the rat got bored and started gnawing on it's head. He took some of the crumbs and such from the plates that were left behind and gave them to the mice, leading them back to their hole in the wall.

'now stay there, it's safer. gah. I'm still talkin to the rats... meh, oh well.'

He went over to listen to the others talk, throwing an illusionary fireball up and down in his hand like it was a bouncy ball.

Loranna looks to Goranthir, raising her eyebrows. "That's a good point," she says. "A forest will make any long-range tactic hard to use - though maybe it suggests a more stealth-based approach ..."

She turns then to greet Slyvos. "Hello love; the figures work wonderfully; thank you," she says, grinning.


Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 05:12 AM

Slyvos looked to Goranthir, shaking his head.

'actually with the right adjustments, a forest gives an archer an advantage. Unless you use a fireball... not smart...'

"I suppose somewhere in there, I had an idea that worked without me knowing it. For that particular scenario though, I have been working on strengthening an Invisibility spell to aid in my stealth."

"I do love these figures, mine's especially pretty. And it was given such grace when it moves. Thanks to Diamond for the pretty figurine and thanks to Slyvos for the enchantment."

"Possibly, but it's certainly a different kind of fighting than if you had all your targets in a wide open area, my lord," said Goranthir with a slight deferential bow.

Falco took his figurine upt and went off to bed. He placed it on a shelf in his room and then removed his hat and cloak. He sat down on his room's chair, so Tsei could sleep in his bed. Falco quikly fell asleep.

Shaka watched his figurine for a moment. He began with the figure in meditation, then tried putting him through an unarmed combat exercise, then practiced switching between weapons use and spells.

"Some toybox, all right," he said to himself. He looked over at Anya, and was glad to see her animated again, not reluctant to share ideas with Loranna, Slyvos, and the others.

"Anya, maybe we can talk after the meal today," he asked her.


Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 05:32 AM

Slyvos smiled, giving Loranna a little squeeze before turning to the figures.

'hmm... I have an idea. Wanna see which of our figures would win in a little duel?'

"Heh," Loranna says, her brow slightly furrowed. "I think we should think more on team fights for now. Individual duels are passe nowadays."

She grins to Slyvos, adding "Though a grain of an idea comes to mind ..."

Kratos woke up the next morning but this time the tables had turned, he found a note on the pillow next to him that read,

"Dear Kratos,

I had a great time last night and I wish I could stay again but I am needed back at the mages guild in Sadrith Mora. Maybe I will see you again sometime but right now I have work to do.

With Love,
Sani"

Kratos crumpled the note and threw it in his trash bin as he put his armor back on and headed out of the tavern toward the arena.

"I'm not saying archers are useless in a forest, but there's a strategic differences between open fighting and fight among many obstacles."

Goranthir thought about the duel idea. "Might be fun. Purely for entertainment."



Posted by: Dagoth Lich Today, 05:45 AM

Slyvos raised an eyebrow at Loranna.

'oh, what were you thinking?'

Tris watched the figures with a far-away look in his eyes. He spoke, not loudly, and not to anyone in particular.

"I saw no forests, no trees, nothing natural or warm. I saw plains of fire and plains of dust and plains of ice."

"Ah, now THAT sounds interesting," said Raithen who had been unsusaly quite the past few hours.
"But how would we do such a thing? The spells the mages cast, and the arrows the archers fire are illusions. That gives an advantage to the warriors. Of course, we could all go mele..." His voice trailed off.

"Let's worry about that later," Loranna says. "Tis getting late, and we have a lot to do tomorrow."

The next day was a bit overcast, and slightly nippy for a summer day in Morrowind, but otherwise the weather was unremarkable. It was a decent enough day for another arena bout though.

Loranna, after taking care of her usual business in the morning, armors up and heads down to the arena to meet her friends.

Wayrest

Kethiah took the back entrance into the palace, through a secret passage in an alley behind the main square the Queen had told her to use.

She had heard that Elysana was ill, mentally and physically, but the women who greeted her in the audience chamber was the portrait of health, and her eyes were quick and clever.

"I have your payment," said Elysana.

"I will need to stay here for a little while, a year possibly more," said Kethiah, taking the gold.

"I will protect you," the Queen replied. "In fact, I have another job for you. I need you to find someone who has gone missing."

"Tris Gaerington, I assume," Kethiah replied. "Shouldn't I be discussing this with your Spymaster?"

"No," said the Queen. "That is who I want you to find. His name is Herwyn Brand."


Posted by: Xyber02 Today, 06:03 AM

Anya watched Loranna walk up. She was finishing her daily balancing routine. "Hello, mi'lady. A wonderful day it seems to be."

She hopped off the fence and slung her spear, "Have you seen Shaka, he wanted to speak with me last night, but I sort of up and left him. I'm still not..." Her voice trailed off. She doesn't need to hear about his, what with all she has to worry about, I'll just let it be.

Before going to the arena, Raithen heads down to the local Mage's Guild for some needed supplies. He also brought along the enchanted figurine of himself to see if there was someone willing there to help him crack the enchantment on it; as the original enchanter was no where to be seen.

Diamond, Dreugh head-form and partial torso in hand, went down to the arena after posting a new sign on her shop:

Diamond's Specialty Statuettes

Paintings, Portraits, and Sketches included. Please leave an order under the door.

She really ought to get around to hiring an office manager when she could afford to - someone to sit in front and smile charmingly. That way she could keep up this habit of going out without losing business.

Maybe Slyvos could enchant a one-dimensional smiling statue for her...that would be handy, she thought jokingly.

Kratos walked up to where Loranna and Anya were talking and spoke, "Well good morning my lady, Anya, what would you have your Ordinator battle today?" He waited for their response but in his mind he was still thinking about what happened last night in the tavern.

Tris was awake and on time, but he had the slightly mazey look of someone who has skipped sleep in favor of potions. He also seemed preoccupied. He nodded to the others, resting his arms on the arena fence.

Shaka walked up just then with full armor on, and the Spear. "I thought I'd watch for a while first before training," he said.

"Well, here he is," Loranna says to Anya, frowning a bit at Shaka. "You don't want to take part now? Darn; we could use the extra people too ..."

To Kratos, Loranna says "We're making teams now, I guess; let's see who we have."

She notices Tris and frowns again, hoping he hasn't been wearing himself out. She takes a step or two toward him, her eyebrows raising questioningly.

"Yes, if it's okay." Shaka walked with her to the boulders at one end of the arena for a moment, for greater privacy.

He looked at her green eyes, the cherry tatoo on one cheek. "It's not a big deal, just that I'm glad I could give you Mara's Skirt. And ... I didn't say much at the time, but it meant a lot to me that you still find me a shoulder to lean on. I know it can be hard to read me sometimes."

He hesitated for a second. "You probably figured out I'm falling for you, Anya." Shaka hoped that didn't sound foolish to her.

"We'd better get back."
