Alright, later.
"I have made progress, but the secrets of how to disrupt its magicka still elude me. I believe I can do it, but the chances of the enchantments being ready by nightfall are growing more slim. We may need to push back the attack to tomorrow. Being able to eliminate these sentinels easily is an advantage worth waiting for. At any rate, I am sure seven will suffice. We should be able to provide enough of a distraction to keep the attention off of you two. We were able to get through without a distraction, so you should be able to get at least to the first tower without attracting attention. Now, there was one other thing I wanted to ask you. You are a mage as well as an alchemist, so I was wondering if you can recall anything about the witch who animated your sentinels that might be helpful to me. Is there anything which stood out to you about her, any strategies or techniques she used? For obvious reasons, such information could be helpful to me." Meesei asked.
Ahnasha nodded to Fendros as she took his hand and rose alongside him. "Alright, lead the way." She responded with a smile. She was not very well educated on Dunmer religious beliefs. She knew they worshipped a few Daedra, but the only one she could remember was Azura. Among Daedric princes, she was among the more respectable ones. Even being a Daedra worshipper herself, Ashnasha did not claim that all Daedric princes were worthy of any sort of praise. Quite contrary, there were a few she disliked considerably. Still, it would be interesting to see the temple, if for no other reason than that the statues they contained were usually rather impressive.

She followed alongside Fendros for the short walk to the temple. The building itself had the same design as the others surrounding it, but was considerably larger. From the outside, she could see that there was a large dome in the center. Walking through the front door, they entered into a large, main room. On the far end of the room were three, triangular shrines situated in front of three impressively large statues depicting three Daedra. Again, Ahnasha recognized Azura, as she was always depicted with a moon and star, but the other two were likely variations on depictions of the other two which she was not familiar with. An archway above them read "The Reclamations," written in daedric runes. As they neared, Ahnasha read the runes on the shrines, revealing the other two Daedra to be Mephala an Boethia. Those two were not princes she would be too apt to worship, but she wasn't going to say that with the temple's priests and priestesses around.
Ahnasha gladly accepted the kiss, leaning in closer to him and putting an arm around him. When they finally pulled away, she looked around the garden once more. There were no obvious markings, but she could see his guess as being true. There was no shrine or statue as city dwellers were often so fond of building, so it would be an informal memorial, she could think of no other reason to have something so out of place in the middle of the city.

"I think you might be right. I don't think it would be for the war; I do not believe the invasion extended into Vvardenfell, but for eruption itself...there is no way this city could have survived. Since the walls are still standing, the blast must not have gone in this direction, but the ashfall would have killed or driven away everyone. The tower would have withered and died. This place would have been a ghost town for years, but...it has been reborn. I suppose it makes sense that it would be a garden. From death comes new life; I can see the symbolism. It's almost poetic." Ahnasha observed. She wasn't looking to see if anyone else was around, as frankly, she did not care. Anyone who would so readily cast judgement on them was not someone she particularly needed to care about.
Meesei had lost track of how long she had been studying the skeleton. Lorag and Janius were still gone, and Sabine and Ariel looked at a glance to be nearly finished. She felt she had gained considerable understanding of the structure of the magicka binding the thrall, but there was still a lot she was uncertain about. Even while statically bound to an object, or undead construct, it was always moving and changing. Meesei could only get an idea of its structure by paying attention to its patterns, so her observations were not perfectly precise. She needed to be able to test her ideas, but since she had only one skeleton to work with, she needed to do it in a way that would not destroy it. She stood up and commanded the thrall to do the same. She could not afford to use her only filled soul gem for a test enchantment, as there was no guarantee they would be able to get any more, so she would need to try and replicate the effect with a spell. If she was right, she would be able to weaken the thrall without destroying it, then simply make enchantments that were more powerful versions of the spell. Meesei charged the conjuration magic through herself, then released it into the thrall before her. Unfortunately, the skeleton simply stood still, showing absolutely no reaction. Her mental link with the construct also revealed no sort of damage.

Obviously, she would need to examine the thrall more before she could produce any results, but since she was already standing, she decided to walk over to Ariel and Sabine to check their progress. "How is everything here? Do you need anything else, or are you nearly finished?"
My last two turned out fine. That project was time consuming, but I believe I'm fine.
Alright, well the past three days have been nothing but working on a programming assignment for me. Good news is that I'm done with all my finals. I have bumped the interest check, so once we get a few people, and someone responds to my last post, we can continue.
bump
I'm finally done with my finals. I'll get to writing a response now.

I guess we could go back to that old pad. When you're available, meet me there.


I just looked at it and immediately lost connection to the pad.
It's the same deal today as yesterday with that project, but after tomorrow, I'll finally be done. I haven't stopped working on this thing all day. I don't know if I would expect a post from me today.
Ryonara said
Take your time Commander. I don't really have any ways for Meirin to fight off the moths until we get on more solid floor, so you can go ahead and move her a bit.


We could do another collab on it. I'm sure that, even if she couldn't help, she would have a definite reaction to everything going on. It's just that I might not be able to do much with it today with this project. Still, I could go to that titanpad we were last using.
