"The Golem"
Aladur's Cave
Asgrim looked back up to Aladur as he re-entered the main part of the cave and began asking him some questions about Boran, his voice not quite so mechanical anymore. Asgrim paused for a moment and then addressed the Altmer warrior, "I met him on the side of a mountain outside Falkreath... He was protecting the little one..."
He paused for a moment, "He was protecting the Dragonborn... The vampire child, you know her yes? Well this was shortly after my... Awakening. He sent me to the Morthal to stay with a friend of his, Brill. He taught me about my form but..."
Asgrim paused, seemingly choking on the words, "He died... Killed in a raid by reachmen. I waited for Boran to come back but he didn't. So I went looking for him."

He took his massive Dwemer greatsword off his back and began to sharpen the blade, "So I suppose that means I'll be waiting here with you and Boran until she returns."

I hope I have done well. I don't know. Perhaps I should tell the others. But what hope would they have then? I will have to tell Kelvyn, one day, when it is time for him to assume the lordship of the Castle. He, at least, may forgive me, as I am his father.
I must collect my thoughts. Lord Kain returned last night, while the others were gone to the city. Thank Onsi it was only myself and Garridan -- faithful friend! I have sworn him to secrecy. He was only too happy to let me take responsibility for what we did.
Later: I am more resolved than ever that the others must never find out. They must never know what Lord Kain has become, our liege lord -- we sacrificed everything for him!
I will set it all down here, clearly, so that others may judge whether I have done right or wrong.
When Garridan woke me to tell me that Lord Kain had arrived, I was overjoyed at first. Garridan's grim face soon warned me that all was not well, but he would not tell me what was wrong. Only that Lord Kain was accompanied by Arielle Jurard, a name to freeze the blood -- a Breton battlemage of sinister reputation in Lainlyn.
Lord Kain was waiting in the great hall with Arielle Jurard. He was heavily cloaked, unsurprisingly as it was a foul night, but I wondered why he had not removed it upon entering the castle.
I greeted Lord Kain warmly, ignoring his companion for the moment, but when he spoke, it was only haltingly, and with a grating edge that I had never heard before. "Where are the others?" was all he said. Arielle Jurard quickly intervened, explaining that Lord Kain was unwell and needed a place to rest.
By the time Kain was abed, I was fully alarmed. He moved like an old man, and barely spoke in my presence. He left a foul odor in his wake, and remained cloaked until I left him in my chambers. I then demanded that Arielle explain herself, which she was only too willing to do. Her story was appalling. Apparently Kain had perished in battle shortly after we left, but by her arts she had returned him to life, and now planned to gather an army of Knights to resume the war against Baron Shrike. Her eyes glittered with pride as she told me all this -- she is so far gone in madness and evil that she actually believed that I would go along with her plan to install a necromatic [sic] puppet on the throne of Lainlyn! For all Baron Shrike's cruelties, he at least is mortal and will one day pass on the rule to an heir.
Somehow I was able to hide my shock from Arielle Jurard, and pretended to agree to her plan. "The other knights will need to have Lord Kain's... condition... explained to them before they see him," I told her. "Otherwise the surprise of seeing him may lead some to regrettable actions." Thinking quickly, I suggested that she tend to Lord Kain in the grotto until I had prepared the others. She agreed without suspicion -- I wonder if her mind has become disordered by her evil practices -- my performance could not have been all that convincing.
Once they were inside, I shut them in, with Garridan's help. May Tu'whacca have mercy on Lord Kain's soul... As for Arielle Jurard, I wish nothing but endless night on her foul spirit.
I've had workmen cover up the doorway. Only a few of the others were ever aware of that passage behind the training room -- luckily Kelvyn was not among them. I'll have to come up with some story to satisfy those who ask about the grotto -- or tell them the truth and face the consequences.

As he did he thought about Aladur's words and then what he thought were some of the wisest words he spoke, "Elf-Flesh... I have been gone from this world for many a year. For now I can not throw my lot with any sort of cause. I only hold my debt to the Dragonborn for waking me, and if it means fighting by your side I shall gladly do so. But remember... For now the only banner I carry is my own."

"Dragon-Born." He said as kindly as his wretched metallic voice could allow. Favoring her with a brief nod of the head.

Babbette turned to have a giant mechanism stare her in the face. So she did the only thing a mentally unstable child would do.
FUS RO!

"Torli'ai, child, it's alright. This... Man, I suppose, is a friend of Boran's. I trust him... For the moment. And I suspect you would agree to do the same, under the circumstances. He has already explained his devotion to your cause, should you be willing to listen." Aladur bent down on a knee to be on equal heading with Babbette.
"And if you would calm down I have a surprise for you."

Babbette merely shook her head. "Things seem to get stranger by the minute around here."
A smile crossed her face as she patted the giant machine. "Sorry. Not like I meat a giant machine everyday. Well, I suppose with my life, this should not be surprising.: she turned back to Aladur. "And that surprise would be?..."

Ah yes, I recall that speech. He then snorted some coke and said death to all the white people, while confessing how he was born in the sewers of Bangladesh and was a Buddhist hitman before becoming senator.

Black Horse Courier wrote:Morthal's Missing Guardian Reappears to Attack Solitude
The strange dwarven construct which resided in the town of Morthal in the Province of Skyrim disappeared late in the night a few weeks after reportedly saving the small village from a Forsworn raid. Days later the machine was spotted outside Solitude where it then partook in a raid against the city dungeon in assistance of a wanted fugitive identified only as "The Golden Saber". Details are scant but it has been confirmed that the mechanical beast and its suspected controller freed a bugler whom had been captured while attempting to rob the Blue Palace a few nights before; in the ensuing chaos at least a dozen inmates ranging from petty thieves to suspected members of Morag Tang made their escape into the surrounding countryside.
The massive construct battered through part of the city wall with no noticeable effort on its part after wounding several guardsmen and legionaries, the whereabouts of this Golden Saber, the construct, and the prisoners they freed are currently unknown and citizens are urged by authorities to report any sightings of Dwarven constructs outside of the many ruins which dot the landscape.

"This elf right here was resourceful enough to grease some palms for a very, very rare item that you would enjoy. I pride myself on being able to conjure up things that are needed, but this tops the list of my finest acquisitions. Hold on." Aladur stood and walked back to the storage room where the shaking and rumbling had occurred previously, and shook some things around out of sight. The rustle of a key and some chains falling to the ground rattled through the cavern.
And a little Sabrecat cub rushed out of the storage room, running straight for the water spring, hastily gulping down the divinely-lit liquid.
"If you only knew how hard it is to capture one of the damn things... Heh, heh." Aladur walked back into the room and sat down on his stone throne.

Boran Marratto,
Outside Solitude, Skyrim,
Thieves Guild,
Boran opened his eyes... well, eye.. to see the familiar shape of a large mechanical object above him, lingering, and the shape of a small girl. As his eye began to take shape, he saw that Asgrim and Babbette were speaking to each other. Babbette.. she was here?
Boran shook his head weakly... and attempted to sit up, doing so slowly, and failing twice. Babbette leaned against the wall. "So your up, huh?" she said coldly. Boran began to answer, when he noticed a small animal on the edge of the cave, growling. He suddenly realized it was growling at the sky... And then he saw the silhouette of a figure swooping toward them.
Boran tried to stand up, but his legs were to weak. "D...dragon...." he said weakly, before falling on his back.
