The Elder Scrolls RP: The 4th Era[IC,OPEN]

[The blood ravens]

"Read the dossier. It says that if he wins their plans for skyrim will be affected negatively! You only are seeing half of the situation while I see all of it."

'Yeah, because they totally won't be ablto to crush Ulfric's pitifull rebellion! And you say you see all of it! I see only a vengeful person who wants his own friends on the throne!'

"You are a closed minded imbecile who still only is hearing what he wants! I did not know about the assassin in the imperial city until it was too late. I haven't even net Ulfric Stormcloak. And if you opened you god damn eyes you would see the Thalmor are also severely weakened, and if Skyrim is independent they can take the fight to the Thalmor while the empire rebuilds."

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

'Just get the hell out of here before I change my mind!'

[The blood ravens]

'Just get the hell out of here before I change my mind!'

Alex chuckles before walking away from the group. He knew the Oculatus would be no help to him now, and that he needed to step up his support of the rebellion.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

'Legate..'
Commander Maro turned to Ildoni as yet another explosion was heard.
'I trust you can tell me more about this.. Blade?'
'I know where he and his friends hang out.'
'Good. We may need that some day.'
Yet another explosion.
'That should have done it. Let's leave, and prepare to retake Whiterun. I've heard that our men were able to simply walk inside, so that wouldn't be too much of a problem.'

Whiterun

The dead Stormcloaks lay next to the city's entrance as the group of Oculatus walked towards the tavern, and entered it. Before Motierre could do anything, he and his bodyguard were already lying dead on the floor. The men promptly left.

[The blood ravens]

Following the encounter the blades slowly abandon Skyhaven, and move to a hidden fort near The Stormcloak Capitol. Once they have finished moving the blades begin a series of operations against the remaining Thalmor in Skyrim. They ambush patrols, and plan to assassinate the ambassador.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

The cave with the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary in it finally collapses, with all of the Imperials out of it, who jump back on the carts and horses, and return to were they came from.

Solitude

Ambassador Elenwen has finally taken residence in the Thalmor embassy in Solitude, wich is build in Castle Dour, the Imperial Legion's base of operations in Skyrim. The city has been further reinforced with extra men.

Markarth

A plot by the Forsworn to take Markarth is prevented by the watchfull eye of the City Watch, who have thrown those responsible into Cidhna Mine. Patrols have doubled, just like the profit of Cidhna Mine.

Falkreath

Border patrols have increased.

Riften

More troops from Cyrodiil have arrived to make sure that Riften will withstand any siege.

Dawnstar

The endless nightmares still continue, but a priest of Mara has arrived into town, proclaiming that they should still have faith in 'her Benelovence'. The mines make less profit, due to everyone being tired from all the nightmares.

Whiterun

The Talos preacher is killed by an unknown Thalmor agent, who ran out of the city, and has moved into Imperial territory. Stormcloak scouts suspect the assassin has fled the province, and don't want to risk leaving the province.

Winterhold

The College of Winterhold is rumoured to accept new applicants once again.

[The blood ravens]

With the blades in Stormcloak territory they begin expanding even more than they did before, Alex even goes to meet with Ulfric Stormcloak about the war.

[Partially Blind People]

Umbacalm finally made it. He had been searching for the Blades for years and now here he was- Sky Haven Temple. He had wanted to devote himself to their cause for years and had worked so hard to get to where he was now. He was to be disappointed. Sky Haven was empty. The Blades had left. A dusty old hall was all that remained of the Blades presence in the area.

Feeling betrayed and let down, he slowly returned to his room at the Winking Skeever in Solitude. That night he got more drunk than he had ever been before. Whole years of his life had been dedicated to finding the Blades and now he had found nothing. That was until he heard the two travellers. Their loud conversation about the Thalmor caught his ear instantly and the part about the embassy being blown up almost made him jump for joy. The Blades were still around, and Umbacalm would find them.

Ildoni Amatius, Blue Palace, Solitude

The servant girls said the Pelagius Wing was haunted. Ildoni didn't have anything to do and, more importantly, some beggar had pushed a hip bone in his hands and told him that he had to bring the master back home from.. Pelagius wing. So, Ildoni walked inside. Dust and cobweb everywhere. He proceeded, until some strange light surrounded him...

(Oh Lawdy.)

Alex walks over the bridge to Windhelm wearing his blades armor proudly, and flanked by two other blades. The three approached the gates of the city.

(The blades would be highly respected by the Stormcloaks due to their affiliation with Talos.)

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

The Blades would be led into the city, to Jarl Ulfric.
(I can't RP as the douchebag, so it's up to you what he does )

Unknown place, Ildoni Amatius

Ildoni woke up again. He felt.. strange. He looked at himself. Luxery clothing? A freaking hat? He looked to what was in front of him. A large dining table with a throne, and some chairs. On one of the chairs sat a man, and on the throne sat someone strangely familiar.

[The blood ravens]

(Wow you're like the laziest op ever.)

Alex, and Ulfric discuss the war, and he accepts the blades help in defeating the Empire.

[Rightful Revolution]

Solitude

Septum had finally developed into the organization Pyat had hoped, planned, and prayed for. A vast array of bribed guards, street thugs, Skooma addicts, merchants, and skilled personnel were now at his disposal. Now, with all things ready to be set in motion, Pyat cancelled further Skooma runs and illegal trading, and moved to purchase vast amounts of expensive and highly durable armor. The coup of Solitude would happen fast, and happen soon.

[Al-Quarra]

As Achrab wanderd through the wild it started to rain, he quickly ran towards the mountains to find shelter. As he search he came uppon a cave, he wanted to enter it but he knew that caves where rarely unoccupied... he tried to look inside but saw barely anything, he then desided to throw a rock into the cave to see if any response would come.
As he threw the stone a loud roar came out of it, Achrab quickly rushed himself onto the rocks to avoid wathever was coming out. A few seconds later an angry bear bashed himself out of the cave and ran around like a madman. Achrab noticed that the bear had a serious injury on its leg, he didn't want to kill it, that would be pointless as Achrab wasn't planning on staying in a cave for a month. Achrab desided to grab some meat out of his bag and threw it towards the bear. The bear looked at the meant and to Achrab, he didn't seem to trust it. Achrab then threw a dead rabbit, the bear looked again and moved slowely towards it. he sniffed a few times and quickly started to eat it. Achrab gave the bear some more meat so it wouldn't eat him. As the bear had enough Achrab closely approached it. hours went by as Achrab approached bit by bit to keep the bear calm. Finally the bear went to sleep as Achrab was only a few meters away, when the bear slept Achrab quickly cleaned the bears wound. Achrab desided to stay with the bear untill the wound would be healed, it would take a few days but he didn't knew where he was anyways. He would feed the bear each day so it wouldn't get into trouble while wandering outside.

[Communist republic of altorus]

Talib returned to solitude following the destruction of the dark brotherhood, the few surviving assassins had set up at dawnstar sanctuary. They had begun to train new assassins under the new leader of the brotherhood, Talib. Despite being the leader of the organisation that had killed the emperor, Talib decided to pour all his gold into training assassins.


In solitude, Talib was drinking at the winking skeever, wearing Redguard boots, an Alik'r hood and hammerfell garb, this would disguise him.

[Rightful Revolution]

Solitude

"What have ye dun' to me!"
"You killed me mate!"
"How dare you shut down our water wells!"
Hordes of protesters began to assemble outside of Solitude's castle, mainly consisting of Skooma addicts and other affiliates that had done business with Septum. Half incited by Pyat himself with his withdrawal of Skooma shipment, and the Jarl's efforts to curb the drug addiction in the city streets, hundreds perhaps even thousands, were chanting, tossing, and vandalizing property. Castle guards began to swarm the scene, as the bribed city guards stood about casually, attempting to calm the scene , but primarily doing nothing.

Along the castle walls, Pyat and his best warriors, thugs, and thieves, were putting their plan into motion.

The assassin walks in, then sits down near Talib. He was feeling better, although the nightmares still came every other night. Thank god the Boss had hired healers. The assassin sipped his drink, then put a coin. "Should I kill you.....or should I talk to you? Fate will decide." He flipped the coin, and it slowly went through the air. It began falling, slowly....

Gunshap didn't like what was going on. Septum's bribing, along with their lack of demand for skooma shipments, left him weaker than he wanted. On the other hand, the fact that the Solitude guards didn't pay attention gave me him freedom for manuevers, and Gunshap still had an ace up his sleeve: being the sole importer in Solitude, he had it's economy in his hand. If he stopped shipments, Solitude would starve to death.

[Valentir]

The Winking Skeever, Solitude, Skyrim

Victoria sat in the Winking Skeever Inn in the city of Solitude. She and her 9 mercs drank merrily and enjoyed the fine music and food the inn had to offer. Victoria sat next to her right hand man, Jack, and the two discussed their next moves. "Victoria we haven't had work in a month. We barely have 200 septims left and we still need to pay to go to Morrowind. If we can't find work soon we will be on the streets starving and begging for coin," lectured the younger Victoria. Victoria took a drink of her Nord Mead and nodded. "Yes, we do need to find work, but no one needs our services and the last time we tried to get the word out of our services we were nearly arrested," replied Victoria. Jack sighed as Eric Iron-fist, one of Victoria's men, approached them. "Everything alright boss?" he asked as he took a seat opposite of Victoria.
"No Eric, we need money if we are going to get through the next month, and there is no work to be found."
"Well we could spread the word about our services, maybe do a bit of advertising, like those guilds in Cyrodiil do."
"We could but the last time we tried that in Skyrim we nearly got arrested. And I don't fancy the thought of being thrown in the Solitude Jail."
Eric looked at her and then at Jack. Jack knew they would have to get out that mercs were for hire, otherwise they would all be on the streets.
"Victoria he is right," said Jack as he stood up and motioned for the others to come over, "We need to make ourselves better known in Skyrim, and them maybe we can move on." Eric stood up with Jack and in front of Victoria were 6 men and 3 women who nodded in agreement. "Fine, go spread word of Solitude that we are for hire, but be careful about what you say. We don't want the City guards coming after us." And with her order all of group began to spread word of their mercenary services hoping that someone would be good to have someone killed or for a hostage to be rescued, whatever they needed Victoria and her group would always get the job done 100% perfectly...........

[Al-Quarra]

After a week the wounds of the bear where finally healded properly. Achrab desided to leave and move on, however as soon as he left the place the bear started to follow him. Achrab just walked on, thinking that the bear would return. When a few hours had passed the bear still followed Achrab, it wasn't going to return... Achrab desided to search for a proper place to stay so he could tame the animal. After a while he came upon a small village, Achrab asked a farmer if there was a place to stay for the night. The farmer pointed at a large house in the middle of the town. Achrab walked towards it but then he heard the farmer scream. "bear!!" he yelled. The bear that followed Achrab apperantly just walked into the village. the villagemen grabbed axes and bows to fight the animal, however Achrab wouldn't allow that to happen. he pulled out his scimitar, "Back off from that beast" he said to the villagemen. However they weren't going to listen. One villageman came running towards the bear with an axe from behind, hoping he could kill it easely. But the bear had already noticed him, he quickly turned around and smashed the villager to death with his claws. Achrab at the same moment turned onto the villagers that stood in front of him. One by one the villagers fell to the ground by Achrab and his bear. After this small fight Achrab looked around, the village looked abandoned... He walked into the large house together with his bear. when they enterd the house there where a few woman and an old man standing there, terryfied. Achrab asked for a place to stay for the night. One nervous woman pointed to a door. Achrab went inside, it was a simple room but good enough. He fed his bear and for the first time he slept on very close range of the bear, if he would survive the night he would have a great comanion to travel with.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

The man was speaking with the other man.
'You are far too hard on yourself, my dear, sweet, homicidally insane Pelagius. What would the people do without you? Dance? Sing? Smile? Haha, grow old? You are the best Septim that's ever ruled! Well, save for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting... You know, I was there for that whole sordid affair! Marvelous times! Butterflies, blood, a Fox, a severed head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for.. '
'Yes, yes, as you've said, countless of times before...'
'Harumpf! Well, if that's how you're going to be... Perhaps it is best I take my leave. A good day to you sir. I said good day!'
The other man promptly vanishes in a cloud, as if a Daedric creature got summoned. Ildoni walked over to the other man, who then began speaiking to him.
'How rude! Can't be bothered to host an old friend for a decade or two!'
'Where exactly are we..?'

[Partially Blind People]

Umbacalm left the Winking Skeever- there were strange types entering now. Merely moments ago he saw a man wearing ordinary clothes but his face gave him away. Assassin. The look of evil and glint in the eye of a man who killed without remorse for a few coin. The flicker insanity constantly pulsed across his face though it was barely a whisper of his true instability. These were not the types that Umbacalm hoped to be dealing with.

He proceeded out and then turned towards the Castle- he had heard a commotion and couldn't resist the impulse to explore. Upon arriving, he saw a mob of addicts, thugs and criminals in front of the gates. Some guards did nothing while others tried frantically to calm the mob. He looked skyward to see men travelling atop the wall; not guards, more thugs, thieves and bandits. He slipped carefully through the crowd, taking his chance to enter the Castle when the guards were distracted by the crowd, and walked upstairs.

[Al-Quarra]

Achrab woke up the following morning, his bear watched him. "pfew" Achrab thought, he actually didn't expected the bear to be so calm. Achrab gave the bear some meat and left the almost abandoned village. He had to go hunting for his bear and as he walked through the woods he noticed a deer, but before Achrab could grab his bow the bear started to sneak up on the deer, and when close enough it jumped up and grabbed the deer right in its neck. Achrab walked towards it, he cutted a peace from the deer for himself, the rest remained for the bear to eat. As he walked on to higher grounds he noticed in the far distance some citywalls and a castle. Achrab would head towards it inmediatly, however he was kind of nervous of how the people there would react on the bear, especially since the last time ended up in a fight.

[Rightful Revolution]

Solitude

"Quickly! The guard should be right up here!" Pyat exclaimed, although in the form of whisper, to his companions accompanying him on his mission. His group consisted of 12 of his best mercenaries, thieves, and thugs, all outfitted in the best armor and weapons Septum could provide. The group desperately scuffled over a few walls, vying detection from the guards below dealing with the mob, "We need to do this quick, before Imperial reinforcements arrive to secure the castle!" Pyat ran along the roof line and eventually stopped at an upper floor window, and preformed a series of taps on the window seal. Several heart pounding moments passed, before a guard came to open the window, "Oy, your almost late!" "Shut up I know!" Pyat retorted, brief cramming himself through the window, followed by his companions. "The Jarl is in the throne room! But you must act quickly! I'll sound the alarm thieves have broken into the western portion of the castle, you might have 5 minutes to do the deed!"

"Sound the alarm... We're ready!"

[Communist republic of altorus]

Talib saw the assassin, "not you again" he mumbled quietly before walking away to get some ale. The dark brotherhood was growing rapidly they now had 60 recruits to train to Talib's standards, which were high.Soon Talib, was poured a mug of Nordic ale, which had a strong taste and was just how he liked it.

Talib still had his dragonscale armour underneath his hammerfell garb. This would protect him from attacks.

[Partially Blind People]

Umbacalm saw the men enter a building through the upper floor window, carefully opened by a guard. Realising the men's intentions to either rob or kill the poor fellow inside, Umbacalm stealthily crept up to the window, determined to stop the men. He tapped on the window in the same way he had seen the peculiar man do earlier. After a few moments a guard opened it.

"You're late! Pyat has already g..." His speech was cut off as a fireball burnt into his skull. Umbacalm moved the body out of sight before creeping in the direction that he could hear men talking.
