The Elder Scrolls Forums _ Elder Scrolls Lore _ RP: Playing Houses

Posted by: Loranna Feb 20 2006, 06:44 PM

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:

Loranna's Roleplay, while an open roleplay where everyone is invited to join, is not a limitless or unregulated game. There are rules we have set ourselves that make roleplaying easier and more enjoyable for everyone of us. Please take the time and read the following guidelines carefully and, more importantly, act according to them.

1. Have fun!

2. Fun does not mean you can do whatever you want, though.


Let us please clarify some points. 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's be very clear about what cannot be done without permission:

Affecting other characters:
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.

Major Events:
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.

For the purpose of coordinating this RP, backstage fun and discussing current and future events, we have established a chatroom on chatspike.net, chatroom #Loranna_RP. We strongly recommend that you have a glimpse in there, since it is the easiest and most convenient way to discuss characters and settings, explain rules, plan and give you the background information you need to play in this RP. If you cannot get on the channel for some reason, or if the player whose 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.

If you do not have MIRC, you can http://www.chatspike.net/?p=javairc. Enter in a nickname where prompted and hit Submit. You'll be asked if you want to trust the signed applet. Hit Yes, and you'll be in the main chatspike channel. From there, type /join #Loranna_RP You'll enter our chat channel and we can talk to you.

Here are various other rules, tips and information you should take time to read before joining this RP:

1. Background History:

Loranna's RP has accumulated a rich background history. Of course, no-one can know all that has happened in this RP, but it is important that you have at least an idea about the major events that took place during the last one-and-a-half years. There are a few posts of Loranna that explain the history of the RP from her character's viewpoint and a summary of the events in the RP is in progress, you can find them http://www.tc.umn.edu/~rhod0091/lrp/temp.html. Another summary is available as text file from Nalion, please ask via our chatspike channel or per PM to Nalion for the time being. We are working on a more permanent solution to provide this information.

The chatroom #Loranna_RP on chatspike is probably the best and fastest way to get yourself informed about the RP, just ask the moderators and long-time players there if you need any information. They will gladly help you. It is also very advisable to read up on the most recent posts and threads to become a grasp of what is happening right now in the RP. This will significantly help you in finding a way to join the action and will reduce the probabiliy of mistakes.

2. Reading and catching up on the RP:

We're a dedicated lot of players, and we love this RP. This means we put a lot of effort in our posts, do a lot of planning and discussing to create our plotlines. This requires time and dedication. And we require this of you as well. This means, take your time to read the posts of the other players and take the time to catch up on the plot if it progressed while you were away. This simplifies your rejoin into the action. It is also a sign of respect to the other players. If you don't have the time to read their posts, why should they bother with yours, then?

Again, please let me repeat this, for it is very important. If you are not able or willing to put time and at least reasonable effort in this RP, think again whether you want to join this RP or not.

3. Gathering information

Gather information about the RP, be it asking in chat, by reading older posts and getting up to date on the history or by asking via PM. No-one can know everything, sure, but everyone can ask about what happened. We're glad to assist! Again, this can not be done without some interest in the ongoings in the RP, effort and a good bit of dedication.

4. Roleplaying

Roleplaying doesn't just involve making your character say something (in-character chat). It also has a descriptive element. Motions and emotions of your character, worries, joys, mimics, movements... we want to see them! Describe how your character acts, this gives you a better grasp of your character and will help your fellow players build up a relationship to your character. It's not only action and big fights we have here in this RP, there is a major social aspect to it as well.

5. Posting

Try to take your time to post. Yes, we are aware that there are hectic scenes, like in big combats, where some things move faster, but is it in general a good idea to look over your post again to check it. Yes, we know it sounds stupid and obvious, but please care about spelling, punctuation and grammar. They are not just things you learned in school once to forget afterwards. We are no decryption experts. Those grammar rules have their meaning, and there are tools out there to help you(word spell checker for example). Again, the chat is a perfect way to ask for
time and coordinate with other players if you have problems.

6. Character control / multiple characters

Once more, about controlling characters that belong to other players: You cannot control a character that is not your own (with a few exceptions, like having talked to the player of the character beforehand). This means most of the time the following:

* In combat, you can only try to attack another character, but whether you hit him or how much damage is inflicted is up to the player of the character, and only him/her.

* This applies to healing or helping the character as well; feel free to try and offer help to a character, but let the other player describe the effects of the healing/helping.

* Especially in combat, you have to work closely with the other players, the chatroom is the best and easiest method to discuss these things.

Another thing related to this topic is referring or speaking to other characters whose players are not online. If possible, try to avoid involving characters when their player is not present. It ties down your character while waiting for the other player to come back, and you don't know whether the respective player has other plans when he is back.

Additionally, avoid generating scenes where you involve a character, affect him with an action and finish the action before the player can react (stealing, attacking, casting spells or similar actions). Example: No running up to someone, rob him and run away to safety all in one post. This is a no go.

Controlling multiple characters. We have no written limits on how many characters you may control; the limit is you. In general, it is very advisable that you stick to one character when you are new to RPing. When creating a character, it is VERY important that you consider your character carefully. Again, this has something to do with effort and dedication. It is generally a bad sign if you join up, post a couple of posts and then say you are bored with this character and make a new one. Other players might get annoyed greeting and introducing their characters to a new character when it is obvious that this character will not last long because the player gets bored with the new character. This RP is a social RP as well, and it is very difficult to socialize with a character that is badly played, where you can see by the style of writing that the player is already bored with the character and will throw him away at the next opportunity. RPing is all about characters and your character is your "representative" in this RP, your voice, your arm, your mind. Please take this into account when creating and playing your character.

As a general rule of thumb, use only one character until you feel comfortable with him, can control him, have fun with him and the character is established in the RP. The rest will run automatically after a while when you get more confident and experienced in RPing.

7. Secret plans

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. Examples: Your character suddenly remembers that he has a castles all over Tamriel and calls in troops to help. Or: Your character suddenly reveals he is a spy of the Emperor and knows everything.

8. Ingame consequences of character actions:

Morrowind the game was rather lenient when it came to direct consequences after a character's action. This is not the case in our RP. There are laws and local customs, and there are guards and other authorities that are there to enforce them. So, starting tavern brawls, stealing, murdering, open assault and all other related actions are very likely to be persecuted and punished (this can go up from your character ending up in jail, being banished or to be executed). This doesn't mean that there are no murders or thefts in the RP, but it does mean that if you do that, be aware of the consequences your character will have to deal with.

9. Additional helpful information:

Please make sure that you read the following post of Allerleirauh http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=141737&view=findpost&p=2871855, dealing with some of the above mentioned rules, as well as the hints on character generation done by Loranna http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=141737&view=findpost&p=3828224. Please take the above mentioned rules and information into careful consideration, they will help you in joining this RP quickly and are useful to avoid problems. And more importantly: act according to them!

** Not following the above advice will only result in two things: your post is likely to be completely ignored by everyone else as if it did not happen and/or you are asked to leave the RP. This is obviously not good for anyone, so please, discuss major events before doing them and act according to the rules mentioned above. **

Thank you, and have fun!

Summary for Loranna: Loranna is in Ald Raathim, having had an exhausting past couple of days. Archmagister Traven's initial interview of her husband ended up tangentally sparking a draining debate with Nalion, Slyvos, and Anya about Anya's vampiric condition, leaving Loranna feeling unsettled at the prospect of such a divide coming between those she loves. Fortunately, after that things seemed to pick up; the Archmagister sounded amiable to keeping the Mage Guild in Ald Raathim and Anya accepted the offer of being Eidor's godmother, affirming Loranna's faith in her Bosmer friend in the process.

Somewhat worrying, though, is the specter of intrigue brought on by a former Thieves Guild member requesting forged orders to move the troops out of Veramis Hall; Loranna awaits an audience with the mer in question to learn why he has decided to play general ...[1]

Posted by: FireMaster Feb 20 2006, 06:47 PM

SUMMARY

Erenius, along with Reeds, are in Firsthold, having taken the Guild to go there, in search of the Altmer.

As for Erenius' force in Ald Raathim (whom heretofore have mostly been ignored) are drilling with Valerius, while their second-in-command, the Dunmer Markir (who also has been quiet and in the shadows) is working with others on the parade ground. [3]

Vaan's summary:

Vaan is returning to Ald Raathim, having spent ahwile in the Grand city of Port Telvanni.

Necron's Summary:

Summary: Shaka, an Argonian battlemage, is back on his grounds west of Ald Raathim. Having restarted the quest to become Ra'Gada, he's meditating on his life thus far, and working around the gardens.[5] 

Posted by: Nalion Feb 20 2006, 06:48 PM

Summary

Nalion

Nalion is fighting his own demons, as was made apparent in a rather heated discussion with Loranna, Slyvos and Anya about vampirism and the consequences that would follow.
The mage has done a lot of thinking lately, whether he came to a decision or even a solution is unknown.

Dana
Dana, the Redguard healer/bard, can usually be found around the Nymph and Noggin. After Tel Dresori and the horrors she saw there, she was either furious or very quiet. The people that knew her would have seen that since she came back from the vampire-infested town, no song had come from her lips.

Gistral
Gistral, a Redguard warrior, is helping in the reconstruction of various buildings of Ald Raathim. [6] 

Posted by: Sheogorath Feb 20 2006, 06:53 PM

Summary

Kethiah, ex-assassin and co-proprietor of the Nymph and Noggin, is at her tavern, looking for her husband Isidor for a lovely little "chat." She was just informed that he volunteered himself for an adventure without telling her.

Kingston Mune, Korgari vampire, is looking particularly tanned and rested, having just feasted on a drunken royal soldier (don't worry, he lived, no permanent harm done).

Archmagister Hannibal Traven, Charroah Chane, and Magister Zadion are all at the Mages Guild.

Hlaalu Morgiah former Queen of Firsthold has returned to Castle Daruhn after a heated talk with Count Terilite and Reeds.

Posted by: Xyber02 Feb 20 2006, 07:04 PM

Summary: Anya is putting Eodir to bed, helping Kethiah have a moments break, and wondering if she's actually up to the task still. [9]

The Woods Beyond Ald Raathim

If anyone inquired at the Mages Guild, Archmagister Hannibal Traven had gone on a walk. He found he needed to that from time to time when pondering.

He had followed a random road in town, which as it stretched into the farmland and woods was no other than a footpath. It straggled onward into the mystery of the primeval forest.

Darkness and vegetation hemmed it in so narrowly, so black and dense on either side, and disclosed imperfect glimpses of the sky above. Overhead was a gray expanse of cloud, slightly stirred, however, by a breeze; so that a gleam of flickering sunshine might now and then be seen at its solitary play along the path. This flitting cheerfulness was always at the farther extremity of some long vista through the forest.

In short, it was a gloomy area of the woods that the mage walked alone, with only his thoughts.[10] 

Posted by: stargate525 Feb 20 2006, 07:12 PM

Reeds and Erenius appeared in the Firsthold Mages guild with a flash of light. Stepping off the platform, Reeds asked to see was the guide during the time when Glacia had gone missing, two or three weeks ago. [11]

[15] 
A member of the Mages Guild knocked at Zadion's office door.
"Magister? A Breton with the name Nalion is asking to talk to you.", he said, with Nalion patiently waiting in the hallway of Ald Raathim's Mages Guild.

The mage wore a plain blue robe and a matching light cloak and while waiting, he looked at a few books that were standing on a shelf. [16]

[29] 

[30] 

Slyvos had felt the need to be alone today. Away from the castle, away from the city, just away from people in general for once. It was just so... overwhelming, being around that many people, haveing those responsibilities. Slyvos' old mind wasn't used to it in the least, having been alone for all those years.

Besides, he still had things to sort out; he found the deeper areas of the forest to be perfect for this, as he walked along the path, only just out of sight of anyone that might have been behind him. [31]

The two mages met at a crossroads.

"Hello, Your Grace," the Archmagister smiled, though he was a little startled at the Khajiit's sudden presence. "Are you on your way somewhere or just wandering?"[36]

Slyvos looked down from gazing up at the sky, a curious look on his face. "Hello, Archmagister. Just wandering, for where else would I have to be but home?"

He wondered, what were the odds of this talk happening in the middle of a forest? [46]

"What can I do for you?"

[49] 

[50] 
"I would like to add up to a notion that was mentioned during the initial talks between Archmagister Traven and Loranna and Slyvos.", Nalion began explaining, sitting down in the chair. "There's always this nagging feeling that the King of Worms is still out there, and Goranthir will surely not weaken in his power. The presence of Morgiah has reminded me of this as well. I am concerned, part of which is that we almost have no point where to investigate further... aside from Scourg Barrow."

Nalion looked worried and troubled. "I'm beginning to think that we might not be doing enough. Well, I'm no diplomat nor am I speaking for Loranna and Slyvos, but I think that since Ald Raathim and the Mages Guild both have vested interest in fighting this thread, it might add to the good relationship."
The mage watched the Altmer closely, recognizing his tired looks. "You look kind of exhausted, I hope that I do not intrude too much, but I fear that this is a matter that should be pursued more." [51]

"Yes, you're not the first person to inquire about her," the mage replied. "Count Terilite was also trying to find her, as I recall ... She came in here, in traveling clothes, carrying a bag, and asked to be transported somewhere called Ald Raathim in Morrowind. She seemed very nervous about something, and as soon as I had been paid and she was in position, I guess she changed her mind, and she hurried out, saying she'd be back later ..."

"Before you ask, I never saw her again, and Count Terilite already asked Hleoa if she remembered her. She said she didn't, but there are so many people using the Guild in the evenings lately with all the balls and social events that last well into the night, she doesn't remember everyone who comes through.

"I would presume your duties as Duke would take you all over your territory," Traven replied. "I spoke to your wife earlier, and I must thank you again for letting me have a peek at your private library. It certainly puts the one in the Ald Raathim Mages Guild itself to shame."[61]

"It is an Imperial concern, not merely a local one," Zadion nodded. "And it is much on the archmagister's mind, I can tell you. For some time, Mannimarco has been presumed dead, but there is plenty of evidence that it is not so anymore. Not only in Ald Raathim and Firsthold, but in other areas of the Empire, it appears that the Necromancers are on the rise again. Have you spoken with Morgiah about this?"[66]

"yes, from what I've seen it puts most libraries to shame though. Duties as Duke... ah, yes, I do mostly the less diplomatic things. My wife is the people person, I'm afraid; living alone for as long as I have and being suddenly thrusted into the public eye, not very good I would think." He said with a small smile.

"the one in the Mages Guild though, I won't say I'm very familiar with; I've visited mage's guilds before for a single reason in the past, and that was to see how the Guild Guide system worked. Interesting, but not a process I would like the learn how to do myself." [71]

Well, a while since I last wrote, but lots to tell. Faryons plot to remove his rivals in the Indoril Council is going well, Llana is currently working with the forgery, and it seems that the dutchess is planning to let her finish it to capture whomever Faryon ordered to do the task. Talking about Faryon, he has set off for Wayrest by Mages guild... why hes proberly there already...

Strange how these transportaton systems work... [72]

"Hmm," Erenius says to Reeds. "I suppose you did leave quite the imporession on her."

Turning to the mage, the Imperial says. "Thank you. But if either you or Hleoa remember anything more that you think might be important, please find us. We'll be in the city, trying to find more about this."

Erenius then handed a few additional coins, three or four to be precise, to the Altmer, hoping the coins would help her remember more sooner, rather than later, when it may be of no use. [77]

"the one in the Mages Guild though, I won't say I'm very familiar with; I've visited mage's guilds before for a single reason in the past, and that was to see how the Guild Guide system worked. Interesting, but not a process I would like the learn how to do myself."

"Your wife is charming indeed," Hannibal Traven replied before launching into a long discussion about the mystical energies that are involved in the teleportation system of the Guild. The two of them walked for some time in the woods deep in discussion, and Slyvos was reminded that Hannibal Traven was a very wise and very powerful sorceror in his own right, not merely a politico of the Mages Guild. It had been some time since Slyvos had met anyone so knowledgable in the actual workings of the Mages Guild most remarkable but least understood process, nor talked to someone who in many ways was his equal in the magickal arts.

"It is an Imperial concern, not merely a local one," Zadion nodded. "And it is much on the archmagister's mind, I can tell you.  For some time, Mannimarco has been presumed dead, but there is plenty of evidence that it is not so anymore.  Not only in Ald Raathim and Firsthold, but in other areas of the Empire, it appears that the Necromancers are on the rise again.  Have you spoken with Morgiah about this?"

[85] 

[86] 
"So it has worsened? As bad as this news is, I fear one can barely say that it was unexpected.", Nalion answered. "I haven't spoken to Morgiah about it yet, but I plan to do so as soon as possible. However, I remember you said you would try and send members of the guild to Scourg Barrow. I wonder, are there any news from this expedition? Was anything found there?" [87]

It was... refreshing, to speak with someone that could understand this sort of thing. Perhaps Traven wasn't so bad after all; he was obviously not just some political figure in the guild with a vendetta against necromancy, as he had originally thought. "Interesting... of course, one would have to wonder just the result of this if one was to use that method without another guide to mark the destination point..."

He coughed a bit, as though changing the subject momentarily. "tell me, Traven, what makes you hate Necromancy so much? I can understand why, but everyone has their own reason... besides the reasons society gives." [92]

Reichi walked down the street towards the Nymph and Noggin, clad in simple, dark clothing, and armed with only the Dagger of Senses, which was sheathed and (mostly) out of view. The Dunmer entered the Nymph and Noggin, and got himself a Sujamma, and a plate of saltrice and scuttle.

It is inevitably sad. I think that there are two battles to be fought against necromancy. The fight against those who practice it, and the fight to save those who might go that path ..."

"Perhaps we should head back," Hannibal Traven said. "It is a long walk to shelter ... But I have to ask -- do you not miss any aspect of your old ways? The power and the immortality?"[233]

Loranna sits down, raising her eyebrows a bit as she hears Anya's proposal to Reichi.

"Going to ask Dayla about her knowledge of worms?" she asks Anya. "Or just to poke around in the library and find a book that will make poor Nalion salivate?"

Her tone was mostly light, but she does ask "Though I'd have to wonder if your mater would mind someone not in the family going along ..."[238]

[240] "No we havent, but apparantly Count Terilite has sent the Dark Brotherhood after her," Erenius says, promptly thanking the servant.

After making his way to the waterfront, it took but a few minutes, and several queries of direction, to find the King's pavillion.

Making his way towards it, he looks for the Lord and Lady Rysleire.

[241] 

[242] 

The gentlemen all wore blue, and the ladies all wore red. It was a glorious day for the boat races, and all Firsthold was gathered in the tiers above the harbor to watch. No one was more elegantly dressed than the nobles in the King's Pavillion.

Erenius was stopped by the royal guards after a few steps onto the Pavillion.

"What is your business here, sir?" the lead guard asked, looking at Erenius's outfit.[243]

Nalion met Slyvos and the Archmagister on the way back to the city. The mage's hood was up to shelter him from the beginning light rain.

It took the better part of two hours to do just that, until Erenius finally found the right pavillion. It was also well-positioned to see the race, which was just coming to a conclusion among much cheering.

Erenius was led directly to Lord and Lady Rysleire, an attractive and opulently dressed couple, who raised eyebrows at Erenius's approach, until he told them he was there about their daughter.

Maybe something along these lines might give a hint to Mannimarco."
Nalion paused to take a sip from his wine to wet his tongue, then looked to Slyvos. "I'm reluctant to bring it up, but Slyvos, you are someone who may be well versed in how necromancers think."

[374] 

[375] 

Slyvos looks at Nalion with a strange look on his face before speaking. "if this were any other necromancer we were talking about, Nal, then I would be able to help you with how they would think. But this is Mannimarco we're talking about... for all we know, he may not even be mortal anymore, and even I can't predict how he would think anymore. Though, what I would do if I wanted to do what he was doing, would be to... attack the places closest to my current location."

Slyvos had a look of revelation on his face just then, a small smile coming to his face. [376]

Nalion looked at the Bosmeri vampire with a worried gaze and a lifted eyebrow.
"What is it?", the mage asked simply. [381]

He opened a pouch slung at his belt and took out a flower, a black anther, and placed it before Anya's plate.

"I did some cleaning up around the grounds today, besides thinking about things."

Reichi sighs and is reminded of Saint Deothur entering the aura of death on the Plains of conflict and backing away, healing spells just barely managing to keep him alive long enough to return to safety. "Great. What about sending something unliving in there? Like a summoned Daedra? One smart enough to give a report about return, like a Dremora..."

"It seems, Slyvos, that Mannimarco is at least hiding or protecting something in Scourg Barrow, or else he might not be so open. Another thing is, when Mannimarco acts like this, he probably is already powerful enough to not fear small threats."
The mage took a sip from his wine, still wearing a very worried expression.
"There's not much that comes to my mind in such a short time... Aricyn is gone with the Armour of the Saviour's Hide, which might provide protection - if just for one person though."

"Yeah, and about that argonian..." Reeds said nervously, "That was me."

[543] 

[544] 

"They've been asking everyone in the city if they've seen her," Lasy Rysleire shook her head sadly. "No luck. But it was a busy time in the city ... Perhaps you could inquire specifically at the Guild ... I don't know if anyone has or not."

"Yes, I know it was you," his lordship replied. "And that shocked Altmer in the doorway? That was me."[545]

"Great. What about sending something unliving in there? Like a summoned Daedra? One smart enough to give a report about return, like a Dremora..."

"It seems, Slyvos, that Mannimarco is at least hiding or protecting something in Scourg Barrow, or else he might not be so open. Another thing is, when Mannimarco acts like this, he probably is already powerful enough to not fear small threats."
The mage took a sip from his wine, still wearing a very worried expression.
"There's not much that comes to my mind in such a short time... Aricyn is gone with the Armour of the Saviour's Hide, which might provide protection - if just for one person though."

Nalion looked at Loranna and worded "Arynel?".

"Assuming the Armor has stayed with Aricyn and not found its way to some other soul by now," Loranna says, frowning thoughtfully. " ... Which, it just might have done, for this is the sort of event which seems to attract artifacts like the Savior's Hide ..."[559]

"Not a blasted thing," Reeds replied as they walked, "The night guide seemed honest enough, to be sure. Let's go over what we know so far; we know she showed up at the Guild thirteen days ago looking for transport to Ald Raathim, we know that she suddenly left the platform and left the guild, after paying, mind you, so that would seem to suggest that she intended to return. After that, the trail is cold."

"The docks were checked to no avail, as well as the Guild. Either we've missed something, or she is still in Summerset Isle. We should check with the guards at the city gates, see if any of them noticed her leave. Right now though I think we should investigate the guild and the surrounding area. Something doesn't sit right with me about this, and we need to wait for Isidor in either case."

"Now then," Reeds stopped in front of the Mage's Guild, looking around, "What, or who, around here could provide us with a link to Glacia's chosen path?" [676] 

Posted by: FireMaster Feb 21 2006, 07:16 PM

"Might be best," Erenius concurs with Reeds. "As for whom or what, after you left the pavillion, her parents mentioned a good friend, by the name of Lady Delphina Daille. While her parents did check with her, I think they missed something important when the three spoke."

"I would like to make sure your aware that her parents said she had never left Firsthold, for any reason," Erenius continues. "So I suppose that means that in all likelyhood she's still in the city, or at least within a very short distance of it."

He then considered the group's other options. With the docks, Guild, and her parents queried, it seemed there were few enough leads to go by, for anything. Waiting for Isidor, and a fresh view of things, would likely be best. [677]

It took some time for anyone to answer the door of the stately Daille residence. When the door finally opened, it was a servant with a stolid, superior expression. Upstairs, it sounded like a brawl was happening, a high-pitched female voice was screaming at the top of her lungs.

It took some time for anyone to answer the door of the stately Daille residence.  When the door finally opened, it was a servant with a stolid, superior expression.  Upstairs, it sounded like a brawl was happening, a high-pitched female voice was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Yes, gentlemen?" the servant asked, unmindful of the tumult behind him. "How may I help you?"

[700] 

[701] 
"You might tell us why there's someone screaming in your house ..." Isidor said, his eyebrow arching.[702]

"Lady Delphina is a girl of strong opinion, as is her mother, and they are discussing a social engagement of which they are in disagreement," the butler replied, as if it were perfectly normal. "Can you tell me what your business is here?"

"Now would probably not be the best time," the servant replied gravely. "Could you come back --"

There was the sound of a door slamming upstairs, and a young woman, her hair in disarray, her expensive gown only half-on, flew down the stairs, screaming. "I hate you!"

She rushed past the adventurers on the doorsteps and into the streets.

Immediately she was followed by a noble-looking older Altmer, obviously her mother, and two female servants, who gave chase.

"Yes, now would not be the best time," the servant continued, nonplussed. "Could you come back again later?" [726]

Erenius too gives chase, following closely behind the two Altmer servants, pacing them, making sure to keep both Delphina and her mother in view at all times.

Considerring that he was the oldest amongst the three, the Imperial was suprised at how easy it was to surpass the Nord and Argonian, biding his time to catch with the next lead.

"Reeds!" Erenius calls from a distance ahead of the Argonian. "Surely you've a few little tricks to prevent theft, right? If it slows or stops them, use it!" [746]

Lady Delphina Daille raced through the city with her mother and servants behind her, and she was quite a good sprinter. Her mother ran out of breath before the girl had passed the first corner, and run down a set of stairs that took her along the path of the river.[751]

Ignoring Reeds, and Isidor now, Erenius follows, closly behind Delphina. Hurdling the stairs, instead of running down them, Erenius reaches the bottom, his momentum kept him moving however, and he nearly fell into the river. Stopping a moment to see where the Altmer girl ran off to, Erenius pauses for but a few moments before continuing the chase. [774]

[898] Isidor raised an eyebrow.

"That's it? Fine, we can do that ..." Isidor said, looking to Reeds and Erenius.

"What will your mother and company say, though?"

[899] 

[900] 

"They'll break down in tears and ask me if I'm okay, and I'll get my way," Lady Delphina replied, as if it were so obvious it didn't need to be said. "And they'll probably give you a reward for saving me. Everybody wins."[901]

"Of course, it's big," Alas nodded solemnly. "Come with us to the Resolution, my Dutchness, and we'll lets you puts yer hands on it."

They guided her over the wharfs to the temple complex, where deep in its depths, they showed her Llana's forgery.  It was impressive.

"So, do we lets him have it?" Alack asked.

[904] 

[905] 

"Quite big, and most impressive," Loranna says, looking over the forgery a couple of times. "Llana is truly gifted ..."

Loranna privately vows to stay on Llana's good side; a forger of her ability could be a bad enemy to have.

"We do, but not just yet," Loranna says, carefully stashing the forged orders in her robe. "This is such a big and impressive thing I feel the need to share it with a couple of special friends; I'm sure our patient 'client' won't mind waiting a little while longer for something of such obvious craftsmanship ..."

She pauses, frowning a little; the innuendo had sounded much better in her head. Alas and alack, the Khajiits had outfenced her in wordplay ...[906]

Erenius still doesnt like the idea, yet sees little choice but to go ahead.

"Seems we have no choice," Erenius says to Isidor. "Much as I'd rather not do this, I'm sure drunken sailors scared off by our appearance should suffice, eh?" [920]

And so she did.

Upon arriving at her parents' doorstep, she burst past the servant into her mother's arms.

"It was horrible! Horrible!" Delphina sobbed. "If it weren't for these heroes, I shudder to think!"

"What happened?!" Lady Dialle cried, holding her daughter, and looking to Erenius, Isidor, and Reeds.

"What's all this fuss?" roared his lordship, coming downstairs. "Delphina, stop your caterwauling at once!"[934]

"Well," Isidor said, swallowing deeply, "My friends and I were walking down by the docks, and saw your poor daughter being accosted by some drunken sailors. Seeing as we couldn't simply stand by and watch such a beautiful girl get hurt, we rushed at the bandits, and managed to send them to a watery grave." He finished, looking at Delphina's parents.

"Not to worry; I have a keen sense for how long I can defer satisfaction for a man," Loranna chuckles. "He'll get his hands on this at just the right time, and his appreciation will be most fullsome."

"Now if you two will excuse me; I shan't be gone more than an hour or so," she says, smiling to both priests. "But while I'm gone, if you could arrange for our client to be quietly escorted on his mission; don't trouble his mind with worry though by actually letting him know what kindnesses we're extending him."

With a muttered word, Loranna returns to her study, sighing " ... I need to sharpen my wit; they had me from the beginning. No fair, them being able to team up on me ..." as she reached for her mirror.[944]

"By Auriel, my angel!" Lord Dialle threw his arms around mother and daughter, stricken. "Are you all right? Did they hurt you?"

"I'm fine!" Delphina wailed. "I'm sorry I ran away!"

"Oh, sugarblossom," Lady Dialle sobbed. "It was all my fault. Of course, you can wear whatever you like to the theater ... What a horrible mother I've been, can you ever forgive me?"

"Mother, of course!" Delphina hugged her tighter, winking over her shoulder at the three adventurers. "Daddy, don't these men deserve some kind of --"

"By Auriel, yes, I am so sorry, gentlemen, please," his lordship turned to his butler. "Please bring them to the north drawing room, and give them whatever sustenance they require. I will be with you shortly."

The butler gestured for them to come to the north drawing room, an opulent room of gold and silver.

Lord Dialle and his butler entered simultaneously. The butler brought the men the drinks they asked for, and his Lordship brought three perfect six-karat diamonds and handed them to each.

"For rescuing my jewel," he said, very pompously.

"Oh, daddy," Delphina smiled shyly. "Would you leave us for a few minutes? I was just thanking them again, and you make me blush."

Lord Dialle smiled and kissed his daughter's forehead before leaving.

"I really didn't get the impression Glacia was unhappy," Delphina continued. "But then again, who really knows?"

What awaits beyond yonder door?

Is it a friend we've met before?

Or something dire for us all in store?

One thing's for sure; it won't be a bore.
