Thankfully for Sharee, it seemed like all of the crew she was expecting had arrived on time. The sun was yet to rise over the horizon, which would help to mask their approach. According to Kilith, there had been one potential recruit, a Breton sailor with a skooma problem, who had been spotted making his way over to the guards' headquarters, likely to rat them out in hopes of a reward. Kilith's people dealt with him before he could talk, however, so it seemed that Sharee had nothing more to worry about other than the attack itself.

Once everyone had arrived, Sharee took a position on the same rock as she had during the meeting a few days prior, which captured everyone's attention much more quickly than last time. "Good to see everyone knows to listen when I speak now. Alright, this is it. I hope you've all finished your preparations, because we're doing this now. Across that harbor is our quarry, just waiting to be taken. I've spent the past few days preparing my plan. It's a simple one, but it can still go wrong if you mess up, so pay attention. We will be splitting up into two teams. One team will contain all of our noncombatants. You will go to the docks and make yourself inconspicuous until it is time for you to board the ship. Also in this team will be anyone who cannot swim, or is wearing armor too heavy to float. Once the fighting starts, you all will hold by the entry ramp to the ship and prevent any guards from getting on or East Empire Company sailors from getting off the ship. You'll also protect the non-combatants while they board. The other group will be made up of everyone else, including myself. We will be boarding the ship from the water on the other side. If you all look on the ground in front of me, you will see a sizable bag. Inside are enough waterbreathing potions for all the non-Argonians in the boarding team. I would like everyone who needs one to come get one potion now." Sharee ordered, keeping an eye on the bag to make sure no one grabbed more than their fair share.

"I will need to take a closer look at it later, but for now, we need to get moving." Meesei said, glancing over to the exit. "We do not need to give that Orc any more time to prepare. We also cannot discount the possibility that he has an alternative exit to escape through. If you do not think you can fight effectively in this state, then stay in the back and use spells, or take on your wolf form." She advised Shifting into his lycan form would not rid him of his injury, but their regenerative properties were more pronounced in their wolf forms.

Without another moment of hesitation, Meesei led on deeper into the caves. Lorag and Sabine took the lead along with her, though it was not long before the relatively narrow passage widened into one they could all potentially stand side by side in. After a short distance, the group turned a corner and was surprised to see the Orc himself standing just down the corridor. It seemed too easy, which, unfortunately, meant it was. They started to rush forward, but just as Meesei began charging a fireball, the Orc scowled at her, then swiped his spear to the side against a nearby wall, severing a rope that activated a mechanism in the ceiling. Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling and what appeared to be a wooden section of roof between a few support columns broke away as large rocks came cascading down between them. Meesei's fireball harmlessly exploded on the falling rocks, and they all had to scramble back in order to avoid being crushed. After the dust settled, Meesei saw that the pile of large rocks extended all the way to the roof and filled the width of the corridor, blocking their path.

Meesei walked up to the newly formed wall of rock and looked it over for any gaps they could exploit, but sadly finding none. She turned back to the others, realizing that their situation had become more desperate. "We need to get through these rocks, and quickly. There have been no alternative paths so far, so the only way he would barricade himself in like this is if he has another escape."

Not moments after Meesei finished speaking, Sabine approached the rock wall, let out a low growl, and began to pull away the rocks one by one. It would take far too long for her to make a gap alone, but alone she was not.

"Sabine has the right idea. If we all work together on this, we should be able to create a gap large enough to squeeze through quick enough that he won't be able to escape. Let us show this Orc why it is unwise to challenge a pack of lycans to a test of strength." Meesei said. She tossed her pouches and clothing aside, then began her own transformation. When she was finished, she joined Sabine in tearing down the wall of rock. One after another, the others joined, further speeding up the process. Each individual stone was rather sizable and heavy, but for a lycan, it was like throwing pebbles.

I think I'll start writing my next post soon. I think everyone has said they have arrived. You should be able to join in at any point, deathstroke.

Meesei rushed up the ramp to the top of the ledge once she saw that Janius was injured. The arrow had hit in a similar position as the dagger had to Lorag, in a gap in his armor. Lorag downed his healing potion, then ran up the ramp as well.

"Fendros, restock your arrows. Lorag, Sabine, guard the exit, I'll take care of this." Meesei said, kneeling down next to Janius. Usually with arrow wounds, it was best to leave the arrow be until it could be removed properly and carefully, but with silver arrows, that was not the case. Pulling it out quickly would cause less damage than leaving it in. Reaching into her satchel, she quickly pulled the health potion Sabine had given her and handed it to him.

"Here, drink this. It will serve as a painkiller." Meesei said as she grabbed the arrow. Without wasting a moment, she yanked the arrow from his flesh to prevent him from dreading the pain. He could not help but to yell out from the sudden burst of pain, but Meesei worked quickly to numb the area. Silver wounds were inherently more difficult to heal for lycans than any other, and since the wound was a bit deeper than Sabine's, it would take a bit longer for her to stop the bleeding.

Is this stil open?If so, can I be an Orsimer that was trained by the Dark Brotherhood/A tank style assassin?

Certainly. At the time this is taking place, the Dark Brotherhood has (almost) been destroyed, but it was more of a recent thing, so your character could have been one of the assassins that survived its downfall, as was mine.

At the present point in the story, we are just about to seize our ship, so there won't be a chance to recruit new crew members for quite some time. However, we currently have an undefined number of unnamed recruits for the job. You could say that your character is simply one of the people Sharee's thieves guild contact recruited. Essentially, you would just say your character is already a part of the crew.

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.
