Crobalt Crystalis - Hizuru Wilderness


Wandering alone with a brown hooded travelling cloak over his garb, seemingly with no clear direction through the wilderness of Hizuru, Crobalt surveyed the lands as if searching for something. Though as to what, only he himself knew. Either way he'd been searching for hours at a steady pace, and finding no trace of his quarry. He cursed under his breath, something about a "stubborn cockroach" before continuing onward.

"So, how long exactly is this search going to take?" A voice echoed in his head, the man's eyes briefly looking up as he walked forwards, maintaining his course.

"As long as it has to. Preferably sooner rather than later. Just wish I wasn't flying blind here." Crobalt said to the voice, though to anyone else it would seem as though he was talking to himself.

"So we're chasing someone with no clear idea where they even are. Well that's just wonderful." The voice said with no clear attempt to mask his sarcasm.

"If I have to tear this whole world apart to find him, I will. To just leave him be invites disast-" He didn't finish his sentence as his gaze suddenly looked to the horizon off to the side.

"Something wrong?" The voice said, Crobalt's hand slowly reaching for the sheathed blade beneath his cloak.

"I sense something... Something or someone's coming right for us. Fast." Crobalt said, turning to face the potential threat.

"That can't be right. No-one knew I was even around save for the folks who bought my arms and armour." The voice said, seemingly bewildered. Crobalt meanwhile remained laser focused on the oncoming target, until, to his senses it just seemingly... Stopped?

"...It stopped?" He'd say before blinking in confusion. He could've sworn the presence was headed right for them at full tilt. Had his senses been playing tricks on him? Cautiously he slowly headed towards it, his hand resting on the handle of the sword at his side.

"Sure it's not your target?" The voice said, seemingly on edge now as Crobalt walked towards the presence he'd sensed.

"It'd be too straightforward for him. Either way, stay alert. Could be dealing with anything here." Crobalt said, not knowing whether or not he was walking right into another of his quarry's tricks, but he had no choice but to face it head on.

After some time, he'd stop in plain view of whatever he'd sensed, his gaze fixed upon the person before him, uttering only a single, brief sentence: "And you are?"

Can't have one of the Crystalis Siblings without the other.

The other bandit would soon find himself falling off to the side before he could call for help, or even be in a position to take a swing at Aria, as an arrow pierced his skull, weapon half-drawn as he hit the ground, Serena having since gone back to the quiver to fix the remainder to her back, stepping back into view as she affixed the bow to her shoulder, giving Aria a thumbs up before surveying the immediate area for any other threats. Last thing they need is a horde of angry bandits swarming them.

Taking a cautious approach, Serena crouched down and began to creep over to Aria, taking care not to make any sudden noises, keeping a firm hand on her sword to keep it from scraping against the floor, as well as be able to draw it quickly should the need arise.
Taking that as her cue to dispatch the guard watching the road from Aria, Serena crept over to her unsuspecting victim. As she didn't carry a dagger of her own, and her greatsword would make too much noise, Serena opted for a more hands on approach; Taking a deep breath, she slipped up behind the woman, and in one swift motion, would place one hand over the guard's mouth, and then promptly, but quietly snap her neck with the other. Hiding the body from sight, she then turned to glance at the Bosmer pair, then to the bow and arrow, and a plan began to form. Taking hold of the bow, pulling an arrow from the quiver, she took aim at one of them, making sure her shot would strike the unlucky soul in the head. From there, she would wait for Aria to make her move, and then let the arrow fly.
Without saying a word, Serena took hold of the dagger, and immediately dropped off the wall, landing on top of the Bandit, and as if with practiced ease, slammed one hand onto the Bandit's mouth as she landed, muffling any noise they might've made, driving the dagger through the throat shortly after, keeping herself steady as they writhed beneath her, until the Bandit's life was spent. Wiping the dagger off on what could essentially be considered the bandit's clothes, she took hold of the handle with her teeth and dragged the body out of plain sight, before sneaking back up to Aria, retrieving her greatsword and passing the dagger back to it's owner.
Once Serena had took hold of Aria's hand and been pulled up to the wall, leaving the greatsword where it lay, she promptly took notice of the sleeping bandit below, and, turning to look at Aria, the Odd Jobs boss could see the gears turning in the swordwoman's head as she calculated how best to handle this situation without waking up the entire fortress.

"The best approach would be a silent one. We rouse the whole fortress, even half asleep, they still have weight of numbers, and even the best of warriors can buckle under those odds... To that end, I need a dagger. My own blade would make too much noise for what I plan to do." Serena whispered to Aria, perching herself on the edge of the wall, waiting for Aria to hand her the aforementioned weapon, staring down at the bandit, blissfully unaware of what was about to transpire.
"Some semblance of a plan is better than none." Serena said, fixing her greatsword into place on her back, creeping over to the walls, taking care not to make too much of a ruckus. Thankfully her travelling clothes allowed for that part to be easy, save the massive sword strapped to her back. Once she'd reached the walls, she knelt down beside it and held her hands together, ready to give Aria a boost.

"You first, then I pass the sword, then climb up. If I try to climb up with it, it's going to make an unwelcome racket." Serena said, nodding at Aria, ready for her to make the climb.

"Push comes to shove, I'll call out an Atronach, but here's hoping it doesn't come to that."
