I liked it.

And thank you, I try.

Your welcome :biggrin:

Anyhow, where should Charon, Raize, and Drake fight Mephala? How about on top of White Gold Tower...

Your welcome :biggrin:

Anyhow, where should Charon, Raize, and Drake fight Mephala? How about on top of White Gold Tower...

Woah woah, slow down spaghetti-o.

I'm just returning from California, nothing exciting about ears popping and getting stuck in the back of the plane :wink:

Can I have my weapons back now...?
Don't try anything funny and it won't be a problem
And with that Charon tossed Deceit over to Drake who said
Damn, why can't I get rid of this bulky suit of plate armor, I may need to go get some armor from a blacksmith that doesn't slow me down to a crawl.
We don't exactly have time for that, my son is kind of, how do I put this, in another realm.
Do you wan't me to see if he's unharmed?
Is that what the whole red eyed demonic floating thing was?
No more floating, I can partially control it, Trust no one.
Perhaps I shouldn't tell him, or tell him a lie to make him depend on me... Raize, if you want this, you must prove that you are worthy to receive it,
How and why?
You and Charon are going to help me kill Mephala!

"Kill" Mephala? Are you joking?
No. If you want to see if your son is safe, you must help me kill Mephala. I thought I put it pretty simply.
And why should we trust you? We don't know whether Mephala is antagonistic to us yet.
You shouldn't. All I'm saying is that I can see Raize's son is, see if he is safe, and help you get to him. It's your choice on whether you want to gamble the face that it might be a trap.
But why kill Mephala?
Well, Trust no one she sent one of her servants to kill my master. So by extension, I want her dead too. The tales say that Raize the thief and Charon the assassin destroyed the embodiment of Sithis. So what's a petty daedric prince in comparison, hm?
He reminds me of Maximillion. That's not a good thing.
We wouldm't we even know where to find her, let alone kill her.
Let's just say that she'll be finding you, not the other way around.
A dark mist enshrouded the room, and within a few seconds a tall female figure formed. It appeared Dunmeri, with ash skin and red eyes. A light gray robe covered her body, with many small cuts making it appear that the threads were slowly unravelling. Her hair was a shining white.
Ah, Drake.
Her voice was seductive, but had a cold sharpness like Nordic steel.
Making some friends are we? How quaint.
I don't want to hear it, Mephala! *He drew deceit.* We're here to kill you!
Perhaps you do, but I doubt The Thief and The Assassin feel the same.
Now, how about we...how do they say it? Parlé?

Now, how about we...how do they say it? Parlé?

Do you want to find your son Raize?
Yes... but
Help me or you will never find him! Do you hear me you damn thief!
I have no reason to help you.
You have been betrayed by a daedra before, I can see it, what in Oblivion makes you think that the Webspinner will be ANY DIFFERENT!
Come Thief and Assassin, I will help you...
I submit Mephala, I cannot best you...
What is the boy doing...?
Mephala stood over Drake ominously, with rage. You dare to defy me! I will transcend upon Mundus and reclaim what is rightfully mine!
Your not going anywhere Mephala, not while I'm still here.
In about five seconds you're not going to...
No, you're not going to see me die!
With that Drake plunged Deceit into her heart while simultaneously morphing the blade into a longer form, he instantaneously drew his dwarven crossbow and fired two bolts that pinned Charon and Raize to the wall.
Foolish boy, is that all? You never did have the power to be my child now did you...
Ohh, you will never live to find out!
Mephala drew a bow shimmering with dark energy and fired it at Drake, causing his left arm to become unusable for the rest of the fight.
You are going to regret ever creating me. the whites of his eyes turned red as his body began it's unusual battle rage.
He moved like lightning quickly stabbing Mephala three times.
Good to see that you can at least try to kill me, some don't even have the gall to try.
It's like a weapon, I can train my body and adapt it... Drake began to realize the depth of his power as he began sensing what Mephala was going to attempt through his visions.
Hah, you are scared, constantly on defense now mother, back when I was being trained you taught me how to attack and dodge, you said that defense was pointless.
Ahh, it was for the day that this happened. It always was!
Maximillian was right, you really are just scared now aren't you little baby Daedra!!!
While Mephala continued to bicker at Drake as their swords collided with one another, neither taking significant damage.
All or nothing! He charged as his visions showed Mephala's next attack, he quickly dodged and knocked Mephala down on the ground, breaking her leg in the process.
You always were a pushover.
This is for my brother and sister with that he stabbed Mephala in the chest, kicked her over
Now this, this is all for myself... He slit her throat while she screamed in pain as her power was being drained.
My child, this is not over!!!! That is where you are very wrong!!!
It was over, Mephala was killed, powerless.
Now, now what to do with these men here...
The webspinner used her power to tempt us, we didn't know what was happening.
Hmm... tempt you say.
Raize, what do you say in your defense.
Ohh, I see I forgot to disarm you, bummer, you can't reach though...
I have nothing to add. Funny, just moments ago I was being questioned...
Perhaps all we need is a bit of umm what is the word, punishment for your actions, Raize, how much do you care about your children...
I am doing this to save my kid, don't even try to lay a finger on them...
Never said I was going to. I enjoy your enthusiasm towards it, perhaps you should just endure a trial of sorts, no there is no time for that.
Maximillian what do you think I should do with them, I know you're listening...!

» Thu May 03, 2012 9:25 am

BTW the yellow above is showing that Maximillian was watching and that he was wondering what was happening...
The whole event that just happened is fine with everyone right...?
I'm off to the movies... see you guys in a few hours :smile:

I hope the posts are better than before

You need to slow down with your writing a little bit. That's all I really have to comment. Also, Raize and Charon are a little out of character. Observe...

I knew Maximillion was involved with this. We should've killed him when we had the chance.
If we didn't, this could have happened in a much less ideal place.
You are rushing, boy. Still, you have performed...adequatly. Do what you wish with them, as long as they remain unharmed.
Very well.
He's talking to himself. And what's so ideal about your house Raize? Got any traps?
No, no, something better. Or should I say, someone.
A ball of ice shot out from the doorway, Drake only just dodging out of the way in time. Kiva strode out in her white battle robe, Adna peeking cautiously around the doorway.
I hope you have a good reason for pinning my husband and Charon to the wall. I'd recommend telling me now, before things get messy.
You're Raize's wife, huh? Well, I'll have you know that I just killed Mephala and absorbed her power. Those two are pinned to the wall for my own safety, and so I can show them something.
I doubt your reasons are so benevolent. Now get out of my house, Webspinner, before your threads of fate become null.
Look, it's just that Maximillion told me-
Maximillion?! *she fired two more iceballs, Drake swatting them away before they caused him a problem.*
No one interrupts me when I'm speaking! Especially not some woman!
Drake charged, his eyes going red, heedless of what was in his way.
I'd recommend everyone shut their eyes!
Kiva cast three quickfire spells on everyone but Drake as he stepped on the collection of frost mines just in front of her.
He froze, trying to break free, but was completely encased by ice.

You absorbed part of Mephala's power and you don't even know how to use it. What should I do with him, Raize?
He said that he could show us where Elon is, but he might be too unstable to gamble on that.
I agree. There are other, much less dangerous methods of entering a Daedra's realm.
Are you sure? If he's our only link to Elon...
He isn't.
You can't kill him, mum. They need him.
Drake chuckled, only just managing to get some words out.
Saved by the kid again. I'll-I'll...
Drake passed out, his eyes becoming the regular colour again.
They won't be able to find Elon if he dies.
Are you sure?
Raize's vision blurred as, for a split second, Faire seemed to take the place of Adna.
It's just I've been having dreams, dad.
Dreams of the Fire.
...we're taking him with us.
Are you kidding? This guy almost got us killed, once by Mephala and once by his own hand. Why should we take that risk because of Adna?
Because Faire once had the same visions and they were often very important. If we can somehow get that power out of him, he might become more stable. If we do that, would you agree to take him with us?
That's a big if, Raize, but I suppose so. But I'm making it clear that you owe me one Raize.
I know. Now, if only we knew some sort of egotistical quasi-evil mastermind who is higher than Daedra and Aedra alike...
There was a slight pause before the air in front of Raize shimmered, being quickly replaced by Maximillion.
You called?

» Thu May 03, 2012 8:48 pm

Your getting better, just gotta get a better feel for other characters and take your time. Other than that your doing well.

» Thu May 03, 2012 9:38 am

Maximillian was wearing only a towel, and was glaring at Raize.

Right, before you say anything, I want you to know I was having a very nice day when you called. Now, please just tell me what you want, my Argonian Concubine is being paid by the hour.

Oh, and Drake, I can't believe how much of a fool you are, if you could kill a Daedric Prince so easily, I would already be ruler of my universe and your's. No, Mephala is still very much alive, all you have done is make her very, very angry.

Maximillian looked down at himself.

Oh, the clothes.

His normal black Psijic robes materialized around him.

Ah, that's better.

» Thu May 03, 2012 4:44 pm

Maximilian is right, all you did was kill her shade, a lesser duplicate form of herself. All you have done is shown her what she probably feared, that you intended to kill her and take her mantle of Fate Weaver.

» Thu May 03, 2012 3:06 pm

Charon, I would say that it is good to see you, but that would be a lie.

Anyway, the assassin is a-typically correct.

Now, Raize, are you going to help me, or are you going to be a nuisance?

(btw Charon, I like you, but a little bit of disdain seems to fit Max...)

Raize, I-
Shh, Kiva. I don't exactly like him either, but we have to work with him now.
I suppose I'll help you Maxy, but I'll need to know a little bit more about what is going on first. Who is this Drake guy, why is he so vital and, more importantly, how much are you paying your concubine?
Raize!
Just kidding, Kiva. But seriously, Maximillion, I need to know what's going on.
Raize tried to get up, but realised he was still pinned to the wall.
And by the Eight, can someone please remove these crossbow bolts that are pinning me to the wall?

» Thu May 03, 2012 10:48 am

*sigh*
The bolts disappeared in a puff of smoke and Raize fell on the floor face first.

Now, first of all, Drake here recently changed bosses. He is now my... representative. I have instructed him to help you get to Belan and convince him to listen to reason. He recently expelled me from his inner circle of advisors. Though he doesn't know it, he has fallen directly into the machinations of Boethia.

» Thu May 03, 2012 7:03 am

I was actually playing Boethia in his male form. Also i was planning for belan to unknowingly be playing into Boethia's plans, but your way might also work.

gotta go to work now though so i'll see how this goes.

I'll change a few things then.

» Thu May 03, 2012 5:50 am

Good posts guys

Great, I killed a damn shade and got frozen, lovely day now isn't it.
Ok, Charon Raize, I got a little bit umm mad with power and also I have Daedric blood, so if I have any insane moments of bloodlust I'm sorry, it's my nature, anyhow I think I owe you an apology, so I will find your son now.

His eyes changed into a blood red color, but he began to lose control of his power, he began floating again as he had when he didn't know how to control it!
YOU FOOLS YOU CAN NEVER STOP ME, I AM UNENDING, I AM FATE, I AM THE WEBSPINNER AHAHAHAHA!!!
Ok, that was crazy, I need to concentrate, Charon, Kiva, Raize, Maximillian, someone please fix my damn arm!
What is happening to me? My arm is decaying on the inside, I can't focus ahhhhhh!!! I think it's broken, Max get over here!!!

» Thu May 03, 2012 8:02 pm

Your getting better, just gotta get a better feel for other characters and take your time. Other than that your doing well.

Thanks, I'm trying, I primarily wrote it while I was playing BF:BC2 so I had explosions ringing in my ears, so in that case I tried rather well

I may add another character of mine primarily so we can continue the whole Argonian-Dunmer war and so we can see what the antagonists are doing (he will work for Boethia)

We already have a Boethian servant...

Maximillion had a bemused expression on his face.
Hm? What do you expect me to do about it? This is the natural occurance of events.
Daedra damn you!
With a quick action, Charon drew his blade and cut off the arm.
Aaargh! What in Oblivion-?
Well it stopped the decaying, didn't it? Just be lucky that it wasn't your right arm. So you can still fight.
You're lucky I don't kill you now!
I'd like to see you try with only one arm.
Both of you, cease this at once. I didn't come here to observe some petty squabbling over lost limbs. Now, where was I...
Ah, yes, I'll be needing you and your party to travel over to Belan and remind him just who he is dealing with. I don't think the fool even realises he's being manipulated. Hm.
I'll gather our things and get over to Ales' house. I'd rather not be in the presence of that monster any longer.
With that, Kiva strode out, keeping hold of a reluctant Adna as she did so.
Bears a grudge, does she? How cute.
It's not important right now. Will Belan be accompanied by anyone important?

Important by my standards or by your standards?
Ours, you egotistical swine.
Well, I suppose you could include Quirinus. But his scheming is probably unimportant, so I'd ignore him if I were you.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Quirinus is there?
This adventure sure is looking to be a barrel of laughs already.
Who's Quirinus?
Never you mind. Anything else to say before you pop back to what you were doing before, Max?
Not to you, no.
With that, Maximillon vanished just as the crossbow bolts had.
I really hate that guy.
I can still hear you, you know.
Juuust checking.

Okay, the OP is currently messed up. I have been having problems with the Raw Html showing up. I'm going to fix it, but not all at once, it just really pissed me off, and I need to cool down before I fix it.

I didn't need the arm cut off... that was um... a bit much, but we could use a reason for my character to pull a side flip again... (Mephala and Boethiah can heal him.)

Max, your a damn mage fix my arm damnit!! Your more than a mage youre a chim, you can freaking fix my arm!!!!!!!
Charon, give me one reason why I shouldn't cut your arm off right now
Because there's three people who would cut you down as you'd try.
Fair enough, now if you'll excuse me, I need to go pray.
With that he stormed out of the house, and walked all the way to White-Gold Tower, traveling to it's highest point. As his eyes turned red he began a call to the Daedra.
Boethia, I will lure Raize and Charon into a trap if you fix my arm, I will also allow you to have Mephala's realm when it's taken. I offer this in exchange for two things, my arm to be fixed and to serve as your champion!

» Thu May 03, 2012 6:04 am

Sorry, I was just thinking about what Charon probably would have done in the situation.
Also, I'm a little drunk. St. Patrick's day drinking may have altered my usual story perception. Sorry if it has.

Maximillion appeared, shaking his head.
Don't go crying to the Daedra now. You made your intentions clear when you tried to kill Mephala. Who wants a rogue agent?
You're one of the reasons my arm got chopped off!
Perhaps I was, but it was necessary. If you follow Raize and Charon, doing what is asked of you, you will gain another arm. For now, you must learn to fight with only your right arm.
Drake lunged with Deceit at Maximillion, but the weapon passed right through him.
Come now, Drake. You must learn to accept your mistakes. I suppose I'd best be getting you down from this tower too...
In a blink of the eye, Drake found himself back at Raize's house, being stared at by Raize and Charon.
Back so soon?
Drake sighed.
Not by choice.

» Thu May 03, 2012 2:08 pm

Right, well, that's done.

Maximillian transported back to his office.

Sorry about that Sleeps-In-Bed, I had some business to attend to.
