The Elder Scrolls Forums _ Elder Scrolls Lore _ The Noble Seamstress' Spotted Owls

Posted by: Loranna Oct 19 2004, 12:20 AM

Lord Darius, clad in quietly exquisite clothes of blue and gold, sat at the head of one of the long tables set up in preperation for the party in the good tavern The Noble Seamstress' Spotted Owls, enjoying a light snack of sweetrolls and milk. Elaine and Melanus both flitted back and forth, checking to make sure everything was in order; Elaine had chosen to play the part of a tavern girl by dressing in her best saucy dress, while Melanus stolidly soldiered on in his livery and white gloves. Samson and Harg, both in their usual stell ensemble, were talking with the local guards which were required by town law at any such functions, and the barkeep hummed to himself as he prepared his nightly stock for the upcoming party.

It was a quiet moment, even with the hubbub of activity all around, and Darius savored it; he instinctively knew that once the party got going, quiet moments such as this were going to be rare. The simple presence of Loranna-Azura would see to that, even if her last dance partner didn't show up this time out. Still, at least this time, he came into the party expecting strangeness ...

He watched Melanus as the manservant polished the spigots on the kegs of ale, making them shine immaculately, and smiled; he had good people working for him, and with a small pang of guilt he realized that it took two Daedra Princes popping in on his function to make him realize just how stalwart and composed his trusted employees really were. After this party, he would have to do something to show his appreciation for them; well, after this party and a little time building up his funds from whatever had caused them to decline ...

Darius frowned as he munched on his last sweetroll; he had gone over everything twice and couldn't find any glaring reason for his fortunes being less than they should have been. He hesitated to dwell on the implications of that, for there really was only one logical explanation and he couldn't bring himself to believe it ...

A sound at the door attracted his attention; lighting up Darius flashed his famous smile as he prepared to welcome his first guest.

---

And we're off! Welcome to the Noble Seamstress' Spotted Owls, my second RP event for the lore forum. Picking up more or less where the Hearthfire Ball left off, and incorporating some of the events from other threads in the intern, we once again find ourselves having a small party. Come on in, kick up your legs, and let the mead and meat fill your belly. Tonight we celebrate scholalastic pursuits and share tales of romance and adventure - or, at least, teasure and adventure

As before, violence and bloodshed are frowned upon, and if someone starts causing a ruckus assume the guards will step in to take said person outside. We may very well have a bar-room brawl before all is said and done, but if that happens I'll announce it first; otherwise beware The Fist Of Harg, for he is capable of putting his bare hands through concrete

Background and general rules can be found http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15673&view=findpost&p=223208. Please take a second to look over them if you haven't already. As always, have fun and happy RPing.

Archie the lil green argonian sniffed the air.

Snif snif.... could it be?

Snif... Unmistakenly!

The smell of Ale!

She dissapears in the pool of darkness of the shadows to hide and see what is going on. Mesmorized by the warm glow coming from the lights inside she inches foreward....

...and trips.

Meowrrrrrr! The poor cat she tripped on darts into the light as Archie hits the cobblestones with a thump. Oof.

Traveling on horseback was never B’s favorite mode of travel; nevertheless, it was necessary to do in order to arrive on time.

In the distance, the Tavern comes into view. B slows his horse and dismounts. Walking to the door, he opens it and enters.

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 12:37 AM

The Breton enters the tavern.

"Is there anything I could do to help, Lord Darius?" The Breton asks politely.

Posted by: One87xe Oct 19 2004, 12:40 AM

"Well Master One we actually made it here" proclaimed Ami "regardless of being lost and pursued"

"Indeed Ami we have...no sense wasting any more time. We might as well go and anounce ourselves"

*With that One and Ami make their way towards the door...One gives a slight wave to Harg which brings a slight grin to the giant Nords face...reluctantly One opens the door and the pair make their way inside...*

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 12:41 AM

Maranda (ie the wanderer) awoke. The noise from outside was driving her crazy, it must have been another Daedric Lord after her robe... or perhaps the party had started. Getting dressed, she left the room and headed down to the main area...

Posted by: B Oct 19 2004, 12:41 AM

B walks over to Lord Darius and bows. "Thank you for inviting me."

Posted by: Loranna Oct 19 2004, 12:42 AM

Archie finds herself drawning the dour attentions of Melanus, who raises a critical eyebrow at her.

" ... Ah; you again," he says, frowning ever so slightly. " ... If memory serves, you showed up only once for the last celebration ... well, this time there is no formal guest list, so be welcome to our Lord's hospitality ..."

Lord Darius rises and smiles as the greycloak enters. "B, welcome and well met! Thank you again for coming; here, find a seat and let's get you a drink."

Harg sees Arynel and gives him a small, tight smile. "The Fist of Harg is pleased to see you again, and hopes you have brought your appetite and your spleen with you tonight. We shall show you feasting!" He smiles also at One.

Darius turns to Arynel and says "No no my good friend, tonight is a party and the help is already provided. Sit! Relax! Have an ale and tell us of your journey."

Elaine sees the white-clad wander and flashes her a pretty smile. "Good evening miss; what can we be getting you?"

"I make it a duty of mine to never go anywhere without a stomach to fill."

B takes a seat at the table and begins to drink. The liquid feels wonderful to his parched lips.

Posted by: Wierd Oct 19 2004, 12:48 AM

The Dock workers were slow. Damned slow. The dock was wet and slick from the fog, and the workers traipsed about warily upon its surface, hampering their progress. The sorcerer sat in the front of his statesman's carriage, whilst Ravir sat out in the fog on the buckboard. A freight driver and his team would carry the shipment of enchantments close behind.

The loading was taking forever....

"Why did you bring all those Magicka restoring potions and no fatigue restoring ones?" asked Hakan. "Well, you did interrupt me as i was leaving...remember?" Louis replied. "Aye...aye."

Louis stopped, "Look...white rooftops, we're here!" "By the gods, finally!" shouted Hakan, "and look, there it is...the Noble Seamstress' Spotted Owls." Louis laughed, "Want to see something even more amusing...look at that Argonian...ha, an uninvited guest i take it." Hakan laughed a hardy laugh, "i'm sure this party will contain many of those, as well as many other amusing sights."

Hakan reached in his crate, without putting it down, and pulled out an amulet, after putting it on he became perfectly invisible. Louis chuckled, knowing his friend all too well, and casually walked into the tavern, letting the door swing closed slowly. Hakan ran in, his footsteps loud and armor clanging, and went into the middle of the tavern, which was at the moment deprived of guests. Dropping his crate and taking his amulet off the reveal himself "Mead for all!" he exclaimed, "3e262, there is no finer vintage! It makes that Cyrodiilic Brandy seem like baby's milk!" He tossed pouches all around the room to every chair, each pouch having 1000 drakes, "My gift to all for this wonderful party! I trust that when everyone arrives, they'll be civilized enough to each take one and leave the rest for someone new." He took for himself a pint of mead, "ah, the sweet honey nector of the gods." Louis sat casually at the nearest chair, wondering about the kind of characters he would come across in the hours to come.

Darius, Melanus, and Samson all stare with O_O expressions.

Elaine blinks with more of an O_o expression, but tucks a bag of drakes down her bodice.

Harg cries "Ah; a fellow countryman! The Fist of Harg praises your open palms and accepts your gift of mead and gold. May you always have a fur cloak on your back."

Posted by: One87xe Oct 19 2004, 12:54 AM

*One and Ami make their way inside to find some of the same faces from the Hearthfire Ball...among them are the Librarian B...the one calling himself Arynel...and to no surprise Darius the host...he ignores his thoughts as the pair make their way towards the Bar...an old coot seems to be the 'tender...*

"Excuse me sir, might I have a goblet of that Ancient Dagoth Brandy"

"Well of course sir and a fine choice I might add, and for you my lady?" the barkeep asks

"Umm...I'll just have a tankard of that Comberry Wine" Ami replies

*The pair receive their drinks and make their way towards a side table to take in the ambience...*

<ooc> look ma, I can spell "ambience" <ooc>

The Breton grabs five coins and places them in his pocket, smiling towards Hakan.

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 12:59 AM

"Aye and to you as well my new found friend!" Hakan shouts to Harg, "but allow my to introduce myself, i am Hakan Ulfgard, native of Skyrim and current resident of Solstheim, Knight of the Imperial Dragon, and unofficial diplomat to the native Nords of Solstheim. I bid you all here, a good day, good evening, and good morning, you'll need such well wishing for tomorrow's headaches!" Hakan notices Elaine and gives a bold smile and nod.

"My friend here has surpassed even my manners, introducing himself before i.My name is Louis Corentin, a native of this great provence though i left at a very young age. Now i am Arch-Mage of the Mage's Guild in the district of Vvardenfell, and i bid good fortune to you all"

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 01:08 AM

Arynel reaches out with his arm, and an apple levitates off the table and floats into his hand. The Breton takes a big, juicy bite.

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:09 AM

"What'll it be mister?" asked the old bartender to Louis. "None for me, thank you," he replied. "Have it your way, but you should take some notes from your friend there, he seems to know how to have himself a good time at a tavern." "That he does," said Louis, "though i myself am not one so passionate in things as he, i prefer to immerse myself into books and magicks."

Hakan walks over to Harg and pats him on the back, "did i tell ya about the time i slew a pack of Dremora outside Dagon Fel? It's a town in Vvardenfell if you hadn't heard of it"

Hey is Unca Darius here?

Posted by: FireMaster Oct 19 2004, 01:12 AM

*Erenius exits the carriage, clad in his trademark leather jerkin and clothing, dangling from his belt is his silver rapier*

"Ah, at last, I have found this place...must remember Darius to place the next party in a place that is not in two locations, if only in name."

*Erenius walks inside the tavern and quickly takes a look around, hoping to see some familiar faces. Seeing none, he proceeds to look for Darius, but also to no avail for an odd reason.*

"Hmm..." Erenius muttered as he continues looking around from his vantage point by the door.

Posted by: niceguy5 Oct 19 2004, 01:12 AM

*whoa!!* the two came out of the sky and crashed onto a hill. "Red Lion you ok" Red nodded his head rubbing his back "Look the tarvern is just over there" they joged to the door of the tavern, then opened it...

[o/t, what a time for ones network connection to go kamakazie...]

'what would you like?' someone asked Maranda, snapping her out of her daze
'Umm, water?' she replied questioningly, still in a dream like daze.

Posted by: One87xe Oct 19 2004, 01:13 AM

*One and Ami sit quietly in the corner overlooking the Tavern when One notices Erenius...One waves Erenius' way...*

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:13 AM

Louis levitated another apple and lowers it onto the table next to Arynel, "I know a well-read countrymen when i see one, what brings you here?"

Posted by: Loranna Oct 19 2004, 01:14 AM

Darius recovers from his shock - and at having most of his questions about funding solved at the drop of a hat - fairly quickly. "Well met friends, well met! Please, make yourselves at home! Hmm, what vintage was that again ..."

Harg grins, and says "Ah, a rousing tale this sounds!"

"Really?" asks a soft, femenine voice.

"Ha; the Fist of Harg welcomes you back and bids you take no mind of the gold and mead that occupy your seat," Harg says to the shirt and skirt-clad Loranna.

"Thank you Harg; it's good to see you again too," Loranna says, brushing blond strands out of her blue eyes. "What's this now about killing Dremora?"

Samson wanders about, idly noting Loranna showing up and muttering "Well, that's one ..."

Melanus raises the other eyebrow. "Lord Darius is right over there," he says, indicating the busy Imperial with a delicately presice finger.

Maranda causes people to look at her like she's crazy for ordering water.

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 01:14 AM

Arynel approaches Maranda, who seems lost in though.

"It's nice to meet you." The Breton says. "Can you tell me anything about yourself?"

He then turns to Louis, "I have come for a chance to speak with the great minds of Tamriel, of course."

Posted by: FireMaster Oct 19 2004, 01:17 AM

*Erenius looks around and notices One and his companions*

"Hello again, One." Erenius says as he acknowledges One's companions.

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 01:17 AM

'Myself?' Maranda asked the stranger, 'I am a failure to my master, thats why I wander' She looked excedingle derpressed in saying this

Posted by: DuneDweller Oct 19 2004, 01:17 AM

They are interrupted by a Khajiit wearing a blue robe...

"Have you any shugar for a poor Khajiit?"

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 01:19 AM

"You say you have failed your master?" Arynel inquires to Maranda. "Yet had you not, you would doubtful be here this night. Perhaps there is good to come of this."

The Breton pauses.

"Cast aside ye burdens and unshackle your chains, this is a place for joy and renewel."

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 01:21 AM

'Renewal?' Maranda replied, 'No, I can never repent for my failure... I am only here because the innkeeper offered me free accomidation, thats all...'

Posted by: DuneDweller Oct 19 2004, 01:21 AM

Reflects on the Breton's words...then interrupts again.

"Your words speak the truth...perhaps this senseless addiction has gone on long enough! Thank you kind soul...I shall not forget you..."

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 01:22 AM

"I am sorry then." Arynel says to Maranda. "I only hope you can find peace."

The Breton walks away, shaking his head from side to side.

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 01:24 AM

The strange indervidual walked away from Maranda, as she slowly walked over to a chair, and fell into it, still trying to get her mind straight. Where was that water? she thought to herself

"Hello again Erenius" Ami states

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:26 AM

Hakan takes a seat between Loranna and Harg and begins his tale, "Ah children of Skyrim, it was a glorious day. For some unknown reason, several Dremora suddenly were conjured up not a 5 minute walk from Dagon Fel, i heard the screams of terror, as i was nearby frowning upon some Orcs worshipping a large statue of Malacath. With all my speed i ran to Dagon Fel, and local guard had been killed, and their were 12 Dremora out and about trying to break into the buildings and shacks! The very same battleaxe which now hangs at my side, ready to rung cold silver on mine enemies and ignite them in flame, was used to slay them all. I used a spell or two as well...All in short, once i dispatched one, the others ran towards me. I paralyzed 3 and cast a shield spell around myself, swinging my axe in a wide arc all around me, i took down 4 more just as they approached. I threw my shield at the 6th knocking him down while i gave the 7th and 8th cloven heads to tend in Oblivion, the 9th regained his balance and charged with a mace, i parried his attacks and disarmed him...both his weapon and his arms...from their, the final paralyzed 3 were easy picking." Hakan finished his tale with a drink of his mead.

Posted by: Nelacar Oct 19 2004, 01:26 AM

A mer stumbled into the tavern and looked around. He noticed the one called Pelagius II, and walked over.
"It seems I'm supposed to give you a large amount of money, since your last party was so enjoyable." He handed Pelagius II a bag full of gold coins, and promptly snatched a few bags of gold off the tables.

The Breton walks away, shaking his head from side to side.

The Khaijiit finds Elaine, her red hair framing a smiling face, come up to him with a tankard. "How about some mead, good sir?" she asks, her eyes twinkling.

Loranna spots Arynel and excuses herself, walking over toward the Breton; she had listened to the story mostly with polite curiosity anyway. As she walks by Maranda, she pauses to look at her curiously, her blue eyes turning blue green for a moment, before she carries on.

Darius walks around, in his element and loving it. "Welcome, and welcome back, good to see you again! Please, help yourself to the venison; it's some of the best in High Rock I am assured. Well met, my friend! How was your journey ..." Seeing the mer, he blinks. "Why, thank you; who are ... oh; um, actually ... well okay you did just offer gold ..."

Samson smiles and wanders over to Harg. "So, you want to watch our blond lass or shall I?"

Harg considers ... "Hmm, you take first watch; the Fist of Harg must answer his countryman in kind with a tale of facing four Ogrim Champions in the wastes of Vvardenfel ..."

Posted by: Wierd Oct 19 2004, 01:28 AM

FINALLY, things were underway. The city of white haven was cramped, and the streets narrow. The pale glimmer of the firelight lanterns hung from metal poles cast a dim gloom in the fog.

Despite the weather, a scantly clad lady of the evening leaned perversly against the pole at the corner, and as the cart approached, proceeded to act increasingly provocatively. "What do YOU want?!" shouted the totally unphased wizard.

...."Why... To show you THESE!" she exclaimed, throwing open her robes with a sudden movement, causing the cart-horses to spook in the pallid light. The sorcerer braced himself for impact within the cart, as it tipped over. Ravir shouted something profane from his perch at the reigns.

After the scene was over, The streetwalker approached, and said. "That will be 100 Gold Pieces."

Arynel sees Loranna coming his way.

"How are you, my dear lady?" The Breton Asks.

"You really saw a real daedra? And lots of them?"

*She stares unblinkingly at the towering man in total admiration*

"Do they bite hard? I heard they bite!"

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 01:34 AM

A strange looking woman walked by... and a strange feling overcame Maranda, a feeling of familiarity, a feeling of danger... her head now clear, she scanned the room for that strange woman once again... there she was, over near that person who talked to her earlier. She remembered where she felt that feling, yes, it was three years ago, on the dusty plains of Hammerfall, when she lost everything. It was not quite the same, yes, but similar to HER presence. She thought it best to stay away from her, Daediric Lords had a habit of atracting one another, she remembered

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:35 AM

Louis hears a loud crash and horses outside, "I wonder who that could be," After a moment ignoring it and thought of goind around the room and gradually introducing himself personally to people, to see what great minds had come, he started with Maranda, because for some reason, despite his nature, he was almost quite..taken. He bowed, "Pardon milady, how are you this evening?"

Hakan walked up behind Louis and gave him a solid pat on the back, nearly knocking him forward, then laughed and walked away.

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 01:37 AM

Someone talked to her, breaking off her concentration, 'Indeed, I am fine. Do you know who that woman was who is over there?' Maranda said, pointing in the direction of Loranna

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:38 AM

Hakan walks back over to the Argonian and further explain his feat, "You see my friend, in Vvardenfell, appearances by the minions of the Daedra Princes are not at all uncommon, ESPECIALLY so close to old Daedric ruins...but i've never had one bite me..."

Loranna's eyes shift totally to green for a moment, and her body language again becomes that of a tigress - in this case, a weary one.

"I think we could be better, all things considered," she says, reaching out to check Arynel's neck. "My brother ..."

Loranna-Azura's lips curl into a frightful grimace. " ... My brother is unusually upset ..."

Harg gins at Archie, letting her talk to Hakan all she wants while he downs some mead. "The Fist of Harg never knew you were interested in such tails, and is pelased to see that our heroic blood inspires such admiration."

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:40 AM

"Hmm," Louis pondered, "i've never met her personally before, but if what i hear is correct, she is known as Loranna-Azura...there's a rumor, which may be more than rumor, that she is a servant of Azura who is now being inhabited by the fallen Daedric Goddess, as though two beings share the same body."

Posted by: B Oct 19 2004, 01:41 AM

B overhears Loranna and watches her closely.

Arynel looses a breath.

"Your brother is dangerous enough when he's in a good mood." The Breton says solemnly.

And then he smiles: "But let us not fear those things which may never bare fruit."

"I am Louis Corentin, Arch-Mage, i was asked to come because of my knowledge in magick. My Nord friend over there is Hakan Ulfgard, he too was summoned here, an odd chance of fate that we both would be," said Louis to the white-clad woman.

Hakan propped himself up sitting on one of the tables, sipping down another pint of mead, waiting to tell a story or two, or perhaps hear one.

Posted by: Meridia Oct 19 2004, 01:49 AM

'Ah yes, I have heard of you, a famous indervidual from Morrowind... I was not invited, but I was asked by the innkeeper to look after his bar for him. I do not have any important title or position, I am simply a wanderer, a failed breton with nothing to loose... hunted by the minions of oblivion' She sighed depressingly

Loranna-Azura frowns in a rather unpleasant manner. "This time is different from the rest," she says dourly. " ... Sigh; I suppose you have a point, though. Anyway ... I see there are several noted scholars already here, and I was looking forward to hearing learned mortals debate amongst themselves. If you would be so kind as to strike up a conversation on some subject or another with someone ..."

From outside the tavern, the sounds of heavy boots scraping dirt from their soles, and the booming voice of an angry Telvanni can be heard above the din of idle chatter. Eyes turn to watch the door.

"As if this accursed weather was not enough, First we have PAINFULLY slow and LAZY dock workers, then that fool N'Wah of a strumpet exposes herself at us, spooks the horses, upsets our carts, THEN has the AUDACITY to demand payment for her services! CURSE the Daedra, This could ONLY be their handywork!"

The sound of shuffling outside the door can clearly be heard, as if the person attempting entry was carrying a heavy, and bulky package. The latch lifts, and the door opens.

"WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG!?"

From accross the room, a drunk patron throws one of the courtesy gift bags of could septims at the figure in the entryway, smaking him straight in the face, and causing him to spin about, and land on the floor with a loud crash and a muffled curse. Durring the fall, the heavy bag ascends into the air, only to come into contact with the floor moments after its patron; spilling its contents across the whole tavern floor, like candy at a child's party.

Posted by: B Oct 19 2004, 01:51 AM

A peculiar object skids across the floor and lands next to B’s left foot. Looking down, B is able to detect an enchantment on the item.

Posted by: DuneDweller Oct 19 2004, 01:53 AM

The khajiit sits near Hakin and orders a flask of cyrodillic brandy, then places a large bag of gold on the table.

"take all of this gold, I no longer need the soiled money."

the khajiit then turns to Hakin,"so I hear you have combatted many Daedra...is this true?"

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 01:53 AM

Louis smiled, "Fear not the musings and plans of the Daedra princes, for they are not the only powers in and around Nirn. From the looks of you, you have great potential, though i cannot place what the potential is in. That robe too is an amazing piece, i see it is clearly not of typical human make. No one who holds such an amazing thing can be a simple wanderer, may i ask where you got it?"

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 01:53 AM

"Yes, you are right." Arynel says to Loranna.

He scans the faces that fill the tavern, his gaze at last fixes upon one individual, the librarian, B.

"I must say that the library has been an invaluable resource for my studies." The Breton exclaims. "What is it that you have there?"

Oblivious to the rules of polite society, Archie scurries under the door of the bar to the server side and tries to reach for a glass for some Ale. Stretching up as far as she can reach for a stien she loses her balance slightlly and many of them come tumbling down is a crash around her, knocking her once again off her feet.

Darius meeps and summons Samson over to help the fallen sorcerer up. "Dears heavens man, are you all right?"

"Lot of interesting knick knacks you got here," Samson says, trying to help clean things up.

Melanus looks like he took a blow to the stomach ... and he marches toward Archie ...

Loranna-Azura turns briefly, fixes the fallen man with a brief hungry tigress stare, then turns back to Arynel.

'Ah, but this is the robe that the minions of oblivion are after... a gift from her, you see. This is perhaps one of the most unknown items created by the Daedea, but yet, one of the most powerful, having never left oblivion intill she gave it to me. It is known as the Daederic Robe of Cleanleness. Sounds stupid, I know, but it's powers are unmatched by any other Daederic armour

B reaches down and gropes around with his fingers. He finds the object and picks it up. As he raises the object into the air, B notices that it’s a small, jeweled whistle. The whistle begins to vibrate violently. Suddenly, the air is filled with a deafening shrill!

"Aye it is!" stated Hakan to the Khajiit. "Along my travels i have slain many, for i have seen many dangerous lands. The first Daedra i killed was a lowly Scamp! Ha! I have come such a long way. I was but a boy, and it knocked me to the ground twice before i gathered myself and skewered it with an enchanted shortblade, i was quite proud of my feat."

Just as he was gaining his footing again, his mind was assaulted by the deafening trill of the enchanted whistle he had made for his security animunculi. Somebody had apparently activted it in this confined space, instead of the towertop where it was meant to be used--- Glasses and tankards in the shelves shattered forcibly, showering the room in shards of glass.

Mouthing inaudible words over the whsitle, The sorcerer looks most distraught.

Louis laughs "well it seems we have two incredible robes at this party! My own robe is quite simple, only having an enchant to restore my health in times of need, i have never needed better. And my i also ask fairlady," Louis inquires of Maranda, "who you mean by 'she'?" His words were cut off by a loud shrill which seemed to bother everyone in the room from what he could see through his squinting eyes.

The sorcerer snatches it with a baleful expression. "There are dangerous things in that bag!" she shouts, before stuffing it into his robe.

As Hakan is hailing the sorcerer, His man-servant Ravir emerges from the gloom outside, with his ears back, and hands folded. The tucked tail alludes to a sudden misfortune. He casts quick and fertive looks about the room, and wispers into his master's ear.

"WHAT!? NOT NOW!" Exclaimed the sorcerer, trying deperately to get to the door, but it was too late.

Feeling rather embarassed by the wistle incident, the Khajiit then leaves the taven, licking his wounds from the fall...unbeknownsed to the rest of the party go-ere, the Khajiit has left a small and intricite wooden box in the tavern, on it are strange glowing symbols that resemble numbers of some type, and they seem to be getting smaller and smaller.

Tharivor:

I walk into the tavern silently, wearing a simple robe that belies my association with House Hlaalu, among other things. As I approach the tavern, my tattoo singes briefly, and I look about.

I see many people of faces and names, but I know none of them. Finding Lord Darius to discuss the purpose of my coming here seems to prove... diffucult, I believe.

As I step around people and such, I get more than a few odd looks. Blue eyes and skinless bone-wings will do that to you. That, and it looks like I've just come from an ash storm... which I was in one about three days ago...

Now... why do I feel like I'm being watched...?

"Ah! Now I remember. I'm assuming the first three letters of your name are something like l-a-r and you're currently a Daedroth who happens to be a vassal of Azura, in which case my father told me to give a ring to someone looking like you. I don't know why though, but I suspect it had something to do with his insanity. And, uh, sorry about the beer."

She spies a strange rock under a barstool, something that she has never seen before: black, slightly rectangular, with grey and red beads across one surface. She picks it up, and notice that is it light for a rock, and that the beads seem to squash down. She presses a few of the beads....

loranna, seemingly forgeting about Maranda, gave her a chance to escape the tavern. Walking down the street, she thought herself lucky not to be caught by her.
'What are you doing?' a familiar voice said from behind her
Maranda, knew this voice instinctivly, but did not turn around
'Misteress, I have still not recovered...'
'Indeed you have not, but you should stay around here... if you ever want the chance to redeem yourself'

It was his first time to White Haven, it was a bit further west than he was used to traveling, however the trip hadn't taken long as he had been visiting with some like minded associates in the Imperial City before catching wind of the Lord Darius's celebration of scholarly and intellectual achievements.

Reichi stood still watching the machine.Not expecting it to explode when it did.When it did explode one of the flying cogs flew towards him.Reichi grabbed a nearby Bosmer and held him up like a sheild.The bosmer cried out as the pieces hit him.After the pieces stopped flying Reichi dropped the poor elf to the ground.

"If I could have your attention everyone." Arynel exclaims. "I would like to know what all of you think about rumors of a reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar in Vvardenfell. Have any of you heard of this?"

I pull a bottle of Cyrodiilic Brandy from my bag and take a swig. Turning around, I stare at Loranna intently. I never received a response from her.

Reichi turned his attention to the man who made a annoucement about Indoril Nerevar and his Reincarnation.Of course Reichi knew of it.He hardly beleived it.Though considering his condition, it wasn't too far-fetched to happen.Considering what he heard happened afte rhe had been chased out of town.It was almost considerable as something that did happen.

Posted by: Wierd Oct 19 2004, 03:03 AM

"Its ABOvanilla waferELY PERPOSTEROUS!" Proclaims the telvanni sorcerer.

"Even it if WAS somehow the reincarnated essence, it would have no memory of ever having BEEN lord Nerevar! "

The sorcerer walks over to the steaming pile of debris, and sighs disheartened. Many months of research and labor had gone into that dancing party favor...... It was meant to be unveiled as a gift for the Archmagister as a joke, in the bottom levels of TelNaga.......

Turning away from the mess, He spots Ravir whispering something that is apparently very naughty into the ears of the breton barmaid, who was trying to clean up the glass from the floor...........

"Aye, i have!" said Hakan to Arynel, "and i met this 'Nerevarine' once too! An awesome sight to be sure, there may be no finer example of pure skill and power in all Tamriel"

Batting off the few light peices of debris with a gloved hand, Solin survays the room looking for Darius. This time he hoped to greet the Lord in a somewhat timely manner. His red eyes spot the his esteemed host downing brandy, hefting his slightly bulged pack over his shoulder he makes his way throught the crowd towards Darius, however, before he arrives a Breton attracts the attention of most every eye in the room.

Posted by: Glensather Oct 19 2004, 03:05 AM

A reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar? I stifle a laugh. A Nerevarine. Heresy to the Tribunal Temple, but everyone from Morrowind knows that. Seeing this reincarnation in the flesh would be interesting, but I would not be upset. I'm an Azura worshipper, not a member of the Temple...

Hakan walks over and takes a seat near where the barmaid is cleaning, "well Mr Khajiit, Ravir is it? You're not going to steal away this lovely lady from everyone are you?" said Hakan smiling confidently.

Louis watches everyone in the room, getting a good laugh for himself, especially at his friend Hakan, maybe he would spice things up a bit for more amusement.

But I don't think this is a lie: My great-uncle had a case of coprus, but now he's starting to have the intelligence of a 5-year old again.

"Ah yes, the Nerevarine, mountain of a man, tall as me, even taller, yet extremely quick and agile, there isn't a weapon that can be weilded or a spell that can be cast that he can't do. I saw him leaving a 6th house base once, with legions of Dagoth ur's servants following, and he slew every one, i was too amazed by the sight to go help him! I've heard stories though that he, is in fact, a woman! Imagine that! Nerevar reborn as a woman...he certainly looked like no woman i've ever seen"

I turn away from Loranna again.

"The Nerevarine. A man born under a certain sign to uncertain parents. He reunited the tribes of the Ashlands under the assurance that he would drive out the n'wah. He became Hortator of all 3 Great Houses, and is even my leader in House Hlaalu, though he travels so much I have seen him not. It is rumored he killed the Tribunal Goddess Almalexia with Nerevar's blade, Trueflame. He went to the island of Solstheim and united the Nords there.

He leads the Mages, Thieves, and Fighters guild by rank. Ironically, he is the leader of the Temple as well. The Imperial Cult accepts him as the religion's religious leader. He is the Knight of the Garland in the Imperial Legion. He owns a stronghold on Odai Plateau, protected by Winged Twilights and both man and mer."

Turning back, I look at Loranna. "My name is Tharivor Vehkem... Your... lady...? Do you mean... by the Saint..."

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 19 2004, 03:18 AM

Hakan laughed, "Yes! yes they would, they would not like the Nerevarine to be a woman one bit...anything can happen i suppose, but from where i was standing, he looked like a man."

Allerleirauh handed her horse to the stableboy outside and stomped the mud from her boots. High Rock was as dirty as it had ever been, and in anything smaller than Daggerfall itself, the streets were more muck than street.

She smiled and nodded to Loranna as she entered. All okay. Well, as well as can be expected.

She had heard a strange story from a woman of the streets near the docks; but no one spoke of daedra, and so far the skies were clear.

This night she wore traveling clothes; a heavy cloth skirt which laced up the front over a man's breeches and boots. She flipped her fur cloak back and looked for a drink.

Posted by: Solin Oct 19 2004, 03:36 AM

Noticing that Lord Darius seems to be rather engrossed in the current tavern wide conversation Solin opens his pack and removes the fine brandy at the same time unintentionally revealing a number of large bound books in his pack to anyone watching. With a nod and a smile he slides the bottle onto the Darius's table and returns to listening to the common room talk only mildly interested.

Walking up to Lord Darius, Rilis decided to strike up a conversation with him.

"As a sorcerer, I am rather interested in how a mortal can be reincarnated though." Said the weary hearted wizard, moisture dripping from the edges of his robes. He passed a large bag of coins to the Innkeeper for the massive ammounts of dammage his creations had caused. The innkeeper still looked baleful, despite the rather weighty bag he had just recived.

"I may not look it, but I am well over 100 years old, and getting a bit rickety for an old nord. Getting a new body would be downright convenient. If this Nerevarine is the real-deal, I'd very much like to know how he did it. You dont suppose those ...Daedra... had anything to do with it?

Maranda stood thier, still unable to turn around
'You may turn around, follower. I havew a mission for you.'
She turned around, 'What, pray tell, might that mission be?'
Meridia held in her hand a ring, 'Deliver this ring to a certian indervidual within that tavern (OOC, still don't know who), fate may of brought you here, Maranda, but it is I you will serve. I have a feeling more of my siblings might turn up, so I have talked to a certian lord Fyr and gained posession of the sacred mace, Scourage,' she clicked her fingers, and the mace appered, hovering in the air, 'If one of my Siblings attempts to interrupt you, feel free to return them to oblivion... do not fail me again, mortal!' Meridia said, dissapering into thin air. Maranda took the hovering Scourage from the sky, and hid it under her robes, and picked up the Signet Ring, looking at it strangley. It was not enchanted, in fact, it looked rather cheap. Wondering what on earth Meridia was on about, and why this riing was so important that she would be given such a legendry weapon. she sat down on a nearby chair, looking at the moonlight...

Were they talking about the Nerevarine? Surely that was a recipe for a brawl.

... Oh and thank you for pointing me out to them like that, Daughter Dear ... she adds with a sardonic tone. I think I shall tell them that you are the Nerevarine, only that you were temporarily under Vivec's influnece and destroyed Dagoth Ur while wearing no pants.

Darius, meanwhile, blinks. "The red soil ... well, um, hmm; I don't recall any specific folktale about that this moment ... hmm; is that dagoth brandy I smell ...?"

Finally working up the composure to address his host, The telvanni gets up and totters over to the poor shaken man.

"Dont worry, I'll pay." Said the wizard. "You have enough troubles after that whole escapade with that ballroom I hear.... Nasty business with Daedra...."

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 19 2004, 03:50 AM

Allerleirauh's smile widened. "I'm well! Although it's strange seeing High Rock after so many years away. I used to know every bit of this ground."

To the Telvanni, she said, "Sir, the daedra are not to be trusted, true; but they can be understood and predicted, to a degree, if one anticipates their interests."

In response to Loranna/Azura's words, she swept the crowd with her eyes, noting several unusual characters.

Posted by: Wierd Oct 19 2004, 03:52 AM

Turning back to Allerleirauh: "Yes, if you want to risk appearing haughty, and brazen. The Daedra represent embodyments of change, and dareing to think for even a moment that you can second guess them is like linviting Plagious over for dinner. It's just not a smart thing."

*Footsteps can be heard from the back entrance*
*A young woman steps in quietly, blushing furiously. Her favorite faded navy blue robes, now covered in neon soot, seem to have been clumsly stiched together, and her wheat-brown hair is tousled. But she seems happy as she adjusts her glass pauldrons, and meekly pays for some flin before dropping an odd bag upon the ground and turning to enjoy the discussion.

He begins to sing:

They say
The Iliac Bay
Is the place to barrel around
Without a bit of apparel on,
As advertised in that carol song
A tune that's sung as the west wind blows
About it lovely not wearing any clothes.
Ladies singing high notes, men singing lows,
Implying that the most luscious depravity
And complete absence of serious gravity
Can only be found in the waterous cavity
Of Iliac Bay...

Allerleirauh glanced at the new arrival, then away.

Scholars... would no one offer a lady a drink? She found herself distracted from the scholarly conversation by her need for a large ale - not mead, any mead found in Daggerfall was sure to be no better than water. Where was Harg? Surely a fellow Nord would help a lady in distress.

"If by kin you mean fellow Daedra, then shouldn't the answer be obvious?" Loranna-Azura asks with a gentle, teasing smile.

"I have a question," states Louis as he walked in the door, "i have pondered it much...the tales connect the Nerevarine greatly to Azura, so what can Loranna-Azura tell us of this being?"

Reichi raised a eyebrow at Loraan's words "fellow Daedra".

Shes....a Daedroth?he thought.

Of course.I could smell it all the over here...she stinks of Azura.Interrupted the Wolf.

What?Azura smells?Reich asked.He was begining to lose his seriousness due to his drink.

Its a expression twit. Stated the wolf.

OH.Alrightly then.Reichi thought.

Allerleirauh bowed to Hakan. "More welcome than water in the desert! I never liked the local liquor here. What brings a son of Skyrim to these shores?"

"Let me introduce myself, fairlady, i am Hakan Ulfgard, Knight of the Imperial Dragon, and unofficial diplomat to the local peoples of Solstheim. Currently my home is on Solstheim, i haven't been to Skyrim in many a year until recently during this trip. The good Lord Darius says he invited me to come do to some advances in metallurgy, new styles of diplomacy between very different cultures, and combat tactics, both militant, and in duels."

And she can hear the both of you quite well, thank you, Loranna-Azura's voice echoes in Reichi's mind. But you're my brother's so I'll behave - watch your language about my oder though pup or I'll make a rose sprout from your head whenever you try to stalk prey.

"What do you already know of this being?" Loranna-Azura asks Loius. "For certain, that is - we've already ample samples of those details that are still in question among the general population."

Seeing Maegras Sharp-Horn poke his head in, Loranna-Azura frowns and starts playing with a flower she didn't have in her hand a moment ago ...

"Ah, hi; yes, quite welcome so long as you seek food, drink, and good conversation only," Darius laughs. "Come on in and help yourself to some refreshment."

"The deeds of the Nerevarine are well know madame Azura," said Louis, "and the Ashlander tales do say...that it was Azura who cursed the Tribunal, and the Chimer people, and that Azura's vengence will come again in the form of the Nerevarine, supposedly to save her people, or something to that effect."

"Combat tactics and duels are two of my favorite fields of study," Allie said, smiling. It was pleasant to be around Nords who weren't naked and paralyzed by the side of the road. "I'm fond of the longsword myself, but really, anything sufficiently weighty will do. It's a pity Vehk is no longer with us... these scholars talk and talk about his poetry, but really his martial skills were unsurpassed.

"Oh, forgive me. And you may call me Allerleirauh. Or Allie."

Posted by: Arynel Oct 19 2004, 04:25 AM

"It is a shame Vehk is no longer with us." Arynel says hearing Allie speak. "He left before I became very well known, so I was never able to feel his presence."

The Breton frowns slightly, a forlorn look in his eyes.

"Yes, i for one favor the axe, though any weapon will do," said Hakan as he walks by the door and picks up his shield, drawing from it a carefully concealed Daedric Shortsword from being attached underneath, "never let your enemy know you're true strength, until it's time for them to fall," said he giving an almost unnoticeable wink as he set the sword back in place and shield to the floor again.

" ... Yes, those stories," she continues, looking at Louis. " ... Sigh. There is a lot to this particular period of time, even more than has been recorded in mortal form, and ..."

She sighs again. " ... I am both the Dusk and the Dawn, the secret and the revelation - and the secret that is found from the revelation. Some things, I think, are best answered indirectly, going through each successive Dusk and Dawn until you have uncovered the full breadth of the answer."

No longer with us...

Allie smiled, not with her mouth, but the creases deepening around her eyes. How Vehk would have liked this young man...

I had the honor, once, of showing him the roofs of Vivec city. Though he had long lived there in honor and worship, as giant and lover and father and lord, he had never set foot on his own roof, and he laughed and mocked me when I stood on my shield and used it to slide down the massive dome of his palace, shooting far out, across the water. You never saw one so quick as he to learn anything to do with the body, and soon we were both airborne, the tiny Ordinators far beneath us shouting for us to stop, unable to recognize their own good Lord. He loved water; truly I believe he was fostered by dreugh... soaking wet he was beautiful. More alive than life.

She did not speak her thoughts, but simply said, "I think you would have made good music, had you been in the same place at the same time."

Reichi notices the Argonian who had entered looking at him.But is distracted when he sees another Argonian run off towards a Nordic Woman screaming "ALLIE!!!!".Leaving some scratches in the floor.

Reichi pitied the owner of this tavern.By the time this was through.He'd be lucky if there was anything left off the town.

Unless, of course, you turn to us and ask for the knowledge directly - but that comes with a price and as a matter of pride I'd have to make it more dear than the knowledge is worth."

Louis approaches Allerleirauh, "Yes my friend Hakan here is well versed in many fighting styles, and a good number of spells as well, though i daresay he has yet to surpass me in the ways of magick...Hakan..draw your weapon!" Louis draws his daedric katana and takes a high swing at Hakan which is quickly parried by Hakan's double bladed axe, they swing back and forth parrying each other at every turn with neither giving way for a full 2 minutes before they place their weapons back at their sides and bowing before each other.

*CLANK* CLANK *CLANK* the door to the taverne opens and a Sekka over the room. Before anyone can greet him he yells out loud "YOU IDIOT,why in oblivion are you wearing these metal boots, theyre so loud, youre annoying everyone." Another voice with a Nordic accent comes from Sekkas mouth. "We have already come fashionably late, what more do you want." the original voice replies "That argument is void, this does not coulnt as fasionably late, WERE NOT FASHIONABLE" a third, more natural sounding voice says "shut up!, youre talking out loud", sekka looks around the room and realizes he is drawing stares, he proceeds to the back of the room and starts mumbeling to himelf.
