Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I'm writing a collab with Leon at the moment, though he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Nyte, you kind of already posted having Cyndric show up at the meeting. He and Sharee were having a conversation.

After the Argonian broke off, the final spearman's fate was sealed. He knew he stood little chance, so he wanted to at least kill one before dying himself. He tried to shield bash Lorag, then turn to attack the unarmored Khajiit behind him. He was able to successfully bash Lorag, though the spikes on his shield did nothing against his armor. Unfortunately for him, however, Ahnasha could move much more quickly than he could hope to match. She easily stabbed a dagger into his back, then kicked him to the ground, at which point Lorag was able to quickly finish him off with a blow from his hammer.

While the others were finishing off the spearmen, Meesei saw an opportunity to help Sabine. She had managed to climb up the ledge and had already mauled one of the archers. Fendros prevented one from shooting her, but the mage was still charging a fireball. The potion had restored most of Meesei's magicka by this point, so she was ready to assist. With intense concentration, alteration energy swelled up within her, which she released in the form of a burst of telekinetic energy which threw both them off their feet, making them easy targets for the lycan before them. The Dunmer was still able to release his fireball, but it exploded far enough away to only give Sabine minor burns.

What do I look like, Lucius?

Why would Lucius know what you look like? And for that matter, why don't you?

I think I would like to take a last tally of who is still here before starting the attack. I'm thinking I'll open an interest check for new members. Since we have an undefined number of crew members, new members could already be a part of the crew.

Meesei had been unleashing a relentless assault on the mage and archers above since the beginning of the fight, but it was taking its toll. Magically, she was exhausting herself, and she could not keep it up such ferocity any longer. She needed to relent. "Get to cover!" She said to Ahnasha and Fendros beside her as she moved behind a stalagmite. Reaching into her satchel, she pulled out the magicka potion Sabine had given her and downed it as quickly as possible. She could begin to feel its effects immediately, but it would take a few moments for her to recover completely.

Ahnasha saw that Lorag managed to finish one off with some help from Janius. He had been stabbed in the process, but he was still up and fighting, and now there were only three defenders on the ramp. A bit of space had opened up on the left side, which gave her an idea. She ducked behind cover as Meesei advised, then glanced over to the other two. "Try to keep them pinned." She said before dispelling her bow and replacing it with two bound daggers. Once again, she cloaked herself in invisibility, then ran forward straight toward the shield wall. Ahnasha sprinted toward the left side of the ramp, ran around Lorag, then pushed through the small space between the edge of the ramp and the Nord spearwoman on the far left. Invisibility was not absolutely perfect, especially at close range, so the woman saw her shimmer run by, but was too late to stop it. Suddenly, the entire situation had changed. Janius and Lorag were assaulting from the front, while Ahnasha was readying her daggers behind them. The spearwoman tried to turn to face her and let her ally beside her deal with Lorag, but her ally was too slow to protect her. As soon as she tried to turn, Lorag smashed her in the back with his hammer, causing her to stumble forward practically straight onto Ahnasha's dagger. Ahnasha grabbed the woman as she was following and stabbed her three times in the chest before letting her collapse to the ground. As long as the archers and mage above were unable to focus on them, the two remaining hunters defending the ramp would fall quickly.

I think so.

It does. Now I have a few other things I am going to get done and then I can get back to playing ESO.

Nice. I leveled up 20 times while you were gone.

As Sabine, Janius, and Lorag started to move up, Ahnasha and Fendros tried to keep the archers pinned. Since the Dunmer mage was able to use a ward to protect himself, however, he saw the plan unfold and readied himself to retaliate. Meesei ran in front of Ahnasha and Fendros, holding up a ward to protect them from spellfire. Unfortunately, the Dunmer was repeating the same tactic, so neither of them could affect the other. This was a stalemate that needed to be broken, quickly. In a bit of a risky maneuver, Meesei abandoned the ward and quickly fired an explosive fireball, not at the mage or the archers, but at the ceiling above them. The force of the blast damaged a stalactite enough to cause it to fall down to the ground below. The Dunmer was able to back up in time to avoid getting hit, but dropped his ward in the process. Meesei, Ahnasha, and Fendros followed through immediately with a barrage of arrows and fireballs. The trio on the ledge ducked down behind rocks and burning crates, unable to return fire. For Meesei, it was a magically draining assault, and Fendros only had so many arrows, but they needed to only keep them pinned for a short time.

Since Janius had the shield, it made the most sense for him to attack the middle of the hunters' formation, while Lorag moved to the left. The hunters were having to split their attention in three directions, but that did not mean it was going to be easy. Lorag stared down the hunter in front of him, keeping himself just out of range of the spear. The hunter was a pretty strong looking Redguard man, but both of them knew that Lorag had the raw strength advantage. The Redguard stabbed his spear forward periodically to keep Lorag back, but never did anything more aggressive than that. It was clear they were purely focusing on defense. After a few lunges, Lorag managed to break the stalemate by using the haft of his warhammer to deflect the spear to the side, then grabbed onto it and tried to pull it from the man's grasp. The Redguard was outmatched in terms of strength, so thinking quickly, he grabbed a knife from his belt with his other hand and stabbed towards Lorag. It was a rather awkward motion with his shield attached to that arm, but it was successful enough. Lorag's armor, while it did protect well, was not a complete full body suit. There were small gaps in unimportant areas, one of which the Redguard managed to exploit. He stabbed his silver dagger into Lorag's hip, just above his left leg. The stab wound, coupled with the burning sensation of the metal, caused Lorag to stumble back slightly and lose his grip on the spear. The Redguard attempted to capitalize on the opportunity by lunging his spear toward Lorag's head. Fortunately, not only was Lorag able to bring his arm up and deflect the attack with his iron gauntlet, but the Redguard was now perfectly open to a strike from Janius, as long as he could pull himself away from the two in the middle safely.
