General RP Rules for Me

I don’t do smut RP at all, fade to black is the most I’ll do 

While for the most part, I am fine with most triggers, sexual assault/rape can be a bit dicey for me, so if you want to mention it explicitly or show a flashback regarding that topic, please talk with me first 

Any romance RP will require a 18+ partner and for the characters to get to know each other before anything happens 

Feel free to message me or send an ask for character interactions, I don’t bite! 

Also keep in mind I am acting as the character, I am not attacking you or your character personally. I also tend to play canon characters as close as I can to canon with some silliness on occasion or else this RP would not be fun 

If you want to do anything too crazy, DM me first, I will hear you out before I decide anything.

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Where the first emergency Dragonborn reunion was held, everything seems to be tidier. In the open, some clearing has been made to accommodate the dragons, with a few roasted goats waiting for them; for everyone else, mortal or undead, chairs and benches are set around several tables, each one with a large water pitcher, glasses, some fruit, and... an assortment of objects, mostly colourful junk. Is it anyone's place to judge, when Squirrel put in most of the effort to begin with?]

[In the back, an upset, but apparently hungry Kruziikrel is already taking advantage of the offering, while his former priestess, Iizkest, uselessly tries to remind him to chew rather than down everything in one go. On the opposite side, beyond the gathering of settling familiar faces and a few new ones, Lurendil watches the sky anxiously, wondering if Odahviing has just decided not to answer the call. With a sigh, and as he delivers an unnecessarily harsh grab to Auri-El's bow on his lap, he decides to start regardless... not because he wants to, gods he is nervous anyone will notice anything odd with him, but by the criterion of being the first to have shown up today...]

Well, let's start already and tell everyone what we managed to accomplish.

Kruziikrel and I couldn't find Volsung: no matter what we tried, we didn't find any clue or track. I also... decided to check on Hevnoraak and Otar with Odahviing. They had both been killed before we arrived, we think... Faaskaalmir may have been the one to do it, so... maybe he can be taken away from the World Eater's influence, if his motives are his own.

But... [he lets go of the bow to fidget nervously with his bone rings, and looks at the sky, hoping to see the red figure once more.] ...Odahviing was... severely injured, and may need some time to recover. The World Eater is weakened in turn... because she chose to help Odahviing. Apparently, blows to the heart hurt the least for the World Eater, and that's all I have. Next group...?

[He lowers his head, shamefully.]

I'll update in comment when/if the order changes.

[nytheris-of-cyrodiil]

Kayla and I made it to Forelhost but were accosted by a Dragon Priest named Suleyk. He managed to get to Rahgot first, getting him to flee to... who knows where. We managed to kill Suleyk but the whereabouts of Rahgot are unknown to us.

@kayla-dovahkiin

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“This is true, though maybe we can find some sort of clue as to where he scurried off to? I don’t know much on Rahgot but if anyone else does, maybe we can think up somewhere he’d find acceptable to flee off to.”

[severine-livincus]

(Severine and Ezio looked at each other before Severine spoke up.)

"Well, apparently when we were fighting Zahkriisos, Rahgot came to her aid and they pulled some septim romance novel shit and agreed to help us in the fight."

"Yeah, they're staying at the Hjaalmarch house for now. We also took care of Dukaan and Ahzidal. The latter was a major asshole, screaming racist shit at Nyrthur and at Severine."

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur has still some burn marks from the fight the healing spell couldn't heal yet.)

It's... Nirithur.

But yes, he tried to grand-stand about our races and the "Night of Tears". Ultimately, his arrogance was his downfall.

@child-of-ash-and-smoke

[child-of-ash-and-smoke]

Everything went great for Odahviing and I...

Some things came up for me- family things- so I uh- don't really have much to report back on...

@snow-hunter-wing

[paarty-snax]

*Dust would be swept up slightly into the air as Paarthurnax landed. It had been a while since he had felt other than stone or snow beneath his claws. He would address those gathered.*

Krosis. My apologies for being late. I hope I have not missed anything of importance.

@snow-hunter-wing

[snow-hunter-wing]

[Behind the old Dovah, follows Odahviing. His flight, usually fast and precise, had been a little lopsided and insecure, as he lands just afterward. He doesn't have visible wounds left, but he is visibly fatigued and immediately points his snout at the food.]

Probably just updates... that we'll hear later anyway...

[He looks at Crow, whose words he somewhat heard, and puffs in confirmation, then avoids their gaze. Is he still a source of discomfort and fear for her...?]

@displaced-priest-of-akatosh

[displaced-priest-of-akatosh]

Welcome, you two.

(Meows of greeting)

:3

Sorry for bringing a child here. Uh...

There was a magical accident and now Fork is a... Some kind of Khajiit.

Anyway, Charlie and I went to Skuldafn to confront Nahkriin.

Sadly, after defeating him Alduin revived him and took him somewhere else.

@the-hero-of-madness

[the-hero-of-madness]

[Charlie had been absent, up until a portal opened up and they stumbled through, as if pushed. Notably, they looked... not great, and were now swearing up a storm. Sheogorath pokes Their head out through the portal and waves to all the gathered dragons and Dragonborn.]

Hey, stepkids! And Marty! Charlie just went through... uh... a lot, so be niceys to them or I'll pluck out your eyes. Byeeeeee!

[Sheogorath and the portal both disappear. After Charlie gives a few more muttered swears, they limp over to Martin, leaning heavily on their cane. One of their fingers is notably missing.]

Sorry I'm late. Malacath is a fucking bastard. Whatever Martin just said is correct. Next person go.

[varyn-indoril]

Varyn side eyes Charlie while they begin speaking quietly with Martin, before clearing his throat and beginning, raising his voice. "Eivine and I took care of Vokun. He shouldn't be a problem."

Eivine merely nods. She is not going to bother trying to communicate.

[clever-dragon-heart]

A portal opens, and a red-haired Nord in a wheelchair emerges. She smiles at all that were gathered, and speaks in a heavy Nordic accent. "Greetings. The runes spoke of a meeting with dragons and dragonborn. I am the latter, and am here to offer my help."

@dragonborn-archmage

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan had folded her arms over her chest, her head slightly lowered from shame. She had dreaded this meeting.

Morokei got away. Alduin was there as well. The colleagues I had brought they erm... they died during the confrontation and I was... a bit overwhelmed. Eivine helped me out of there luckily.

@nahfahlaar-golz-do-fin-duul

[nahfahlaar-golz-do-fin-duul]

[Nahfahlaar lands not far from Eivine. As he wasn't an active part of any fights, there wasn't a lot for him to add.]

Next time, Dovahkin, victory will come. The sonak and Alduin won't last another confrontation.

@vahlok-the-jailer-official

[vahlok-the-jailer-official]

Well, on my end......I heard Miraak has been trying to get Damhán to switch sides. Seems he's not a fan of the Cult either......if I had to guess, he joined out of desire for revenge. He might be a valuable ally if he's convinced (Vahlok wonders if he should say more. Probably not.)

@aren-ofkynesgrove

[aren-ofkynesgrove]

Aren didn't like being in large crowds, but this? Alduin, it was worth it. More than that it was good to see Odahviing and Paarthurnax again, even if they weren't her versions of her friends.

She let out a sigh. "I think it goes without saying that Alduin is going to have trouble this time. Instead of one dragonborn and the First Tongues, he now has several dragons and a multitude of dragonborn to deal with. But we do need to know where he is at and what he is doing at this moment. Do we have any ideas to find out any information we can?"

@briarheart-dovahkiin

[briarheart-dovahkiin]

*Ren would lean back in his chair, folding his arms. He hadn't even really known there were other Dragonborns until he had visited Paarthurnax on a whim and been told about all this. Like the old dragon, he preferred to live in solitude and didn'tget much information.*

Unfortunately, I don't think I can be much help in that reguard. I've only recently been told about all of this.

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Lurendil sighs, and looks at the new faces for a while... is that Altmer near the child a new face? He doesn't remember her from last time, yet... he shakes his head. He should focus on the task at hand, only see how Odahviing is doing after... he doesn't want to be in the spotlight right now. Too many people staring, prying his secret...]

I am hopeful that dragon priest can be reasoned with, but that still leaves us with Morokei and Nahkriin. And whoever her allies are... he wouldn't have started a war without any, would he?

Because the World Eater must be recovering, he must be in Sovngarde, maybe. I don't... know more than that.

[He looks at Nytheris, as if to push her to say something instead. She was the one who called the first meeting, wasn't she? She can drive the attention away from him. He already stands up, and walks in Odahviing's direction either way.]

// Updated order not to scatter people too much:

@nytheris-of-cyrodiil and @/falmerfederation and @/displaced-priest-of-akatosh - @/kayla-dovahkiin and @/miraak-the-dovahkiin - @/severine-livincus and @/vahlok-the-jailer-official - @/child-of-ash-and-smoke (can be skipped for a few turns) - @/paarty-snax and @/briarheart-dovahkiin - @/snow-hunter-wing and @/miscellaneous-people-of-tes and @/kruziikrel-relonikiv - @/the-hero-of-madness and @/clever-dragon-heart and @/varyn-indoril and @/eivine - @/dragonborn-archmage - @/nahfahlaar-golz-do-fin-duul - @/aren-ofkynesgrove

[nytheris-of-cyrodiil]

Probably Sovngarde.

He believes it to be his property, after all.

@kayla-dovahkiin

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sovngarde no doubt, Alduin has few dovah allies so if he were to be camping out somewhere in Skyrim he would likely be found by the other dov. Does this mean we all need to get to Sovngarde somehow then?”

@severine-livincus

[severine-livincus]

"I guess so. But how are we going to get there?"

"Hmmmmm good question. We only have so many dragons."

"Yeah............................." Vahlok sighed.

(adding Vahlok here for simplicity's sake)

@child-of-ash-and-smoke

[child-of-ash-and-smoke]

"I'm not going." Crow muttered, barely audible.

@paarty-snax

[paarty-snax]

It would be wise for a few to stay back in the event of Alduin's allies attacking Keizaal whilst the rest of you are in Sovngarde.

[briarheart-dovahkiin]

In the meantime I can see about trying to convince Damhan to assist us. I might have a little more luck than Miraak being a reachman myself.

@snow-hunter-wing

[snow-hunter-wing]

[Odahviing, who has settled to lay on the ground (as far as possible from Kruziikrel, with a few glares of suspicion toward Nahfahlaar and his rivalling red scales, and looking at the new Dragonborn to remember what he can about them), interrupts his meal when he sees Crow's lips moving. He didn't hear clearly, but he's sure of what they said.]

You did enough and need rest, Dovahkiin, it's fair and Paarthurnax is right [he says lower to Crow, then, after a sigh and louder for the rest:] I also... think I can't make the journey, Dovahkiinne. My head and wings hurt, I don't know how long it will take for me to get better, and while I don't think the Firstborn would want to harm me...

[His tail curls around his legs. He is ashamed of what he's about to say, but while he's close to Paarthurnax and the ally who dared call Alduin for his sake, he feels as safe as he could be to speak his mind.]

I don't know if her allies would respect that, and I don't want to be weakened around any of you. Most of you would take my soul, even if you don't want to, and that's not a risk I want to take.

[kruziikrel-relonikiv]

[Kruziikrel stops trying to accidentally choke on the food to look at Odahviing for a few moments, surprised and a little confused.]

⏳OMGIB⌛ that's WEIRD to hear 🫠🫠🫠 but NP I'm like ✨official 🛩️👩‍✈️ pilot✨ already, and I can bring like, 💪💪💪 three Joorre at once? 🧍🏼🧍🏿‍♂️🧍🏽‍♀️ Four if I go slower? 🧍🏽‍♂️👩🏻‍🦽‍➡️🧍🏾🧍🏿‍♀️

🤯🤯🤯 GASP wait isn't ✨💁‍♀️✨ third best girl Morgan ✨💁‍♀️✨ besties with Tsun? 👀👀👀 Can't he portal some of you too? 🐻‍❄️🪄

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Lurendil's hands find Odahviing's side as soon as he mentions his pain, and he barely manages to restrain a wince at the admission of fear. He leans a little stronger on the Dovah, trying to be a comforting presence, and says nothing, expecting the others will respect his fear. He also listens to the eccentric dragon, pondering, until...]

[Iizkest, relieved of her anti-choking hazard duties, takes a step forward toward the gathered Dragonborn. She has been eyeing Nytheris, and especially Nirithur a lot; when she speaks, with her shoulders squared and her hands clasped behind her back, she starts by looking at him some more.]

I am no Dragonborn, but I used to be a Sonaak, and, though for different reasons, the cult failed me like it failed Damhán. Either Vahlok or I may be useful if Skuldafn has been changed, and if the remaining dragon priests were to attack. I may also join those trying to reassure Damhán and his Clan, unless more specific locations to guard are found for those who will stay behind.

[While worried objections (and accusations of wanting to "duel the ex") are immediately mumbled by Kruziikrel to his former priestess, Squirrel has barely listened to a word of anything said so far. She can't wait for this meeting to be over to hear more from her Lord, and nuzzle both Crow and Varyn; but she focuses just enough to cast a mildly effective healing spell on Charlie's back, hoping it will help relieve some of the strain.]

@the-hero-of-madness

[the-hero-of-madness]

[Charlie gives Squirrel a grateful smile before turning to the gathered crowd.]

I can provide portals to Sovngarde, too. I'm pretty good at getting into places I shouldn't be able to get into. Wouldn't be the first time I've visited Aetherius unannounced.

[clever-dragon-heart]

"The runes will guide us to Alduin. He cannot hide from Jhunal's eye. I can track him, so long as I am on the same plane of existence. I can also play a supportive role in the battle."

[varyn-indoril]

Okay, so she was weird.

"I can go wherever I'm needed. I'm best with combat, though."

[eivine]

[Eivine took Morgan's hand and gave her a reassuring smile.]

I'll go wherever you go.

@dragonborn-archmage

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan returned the smile and gave her hand a squeeze.

She turns to Kruziikrel and nods at his suggestion.

I could ask Tsun if he could open a portal for us to Sovngarde. As far as I know he hasn't taken a stance, it isn't really his busniess I suppose. Using portals to Sovngarde is probably the safer option as well with the lack of dragons to take... almost twenty people to Skuldafn. If Charlie can provide portals alongside Tsun, we're golden.

@nahfahlaar-golz-do-fin-duul

[nahfahlaar-golz-do-fin-duul]

I, like the other Dovah, can carry whoever needed.

@aren-ofkynesgrove

[aren-ofkynesgrove]

She shrugged. "Not the first time I've been there. But I will go. Alduin is a threat and he needs to be stopped... again. But I think I will go with him." she points to Nahfahlaar. "Portals make me ill."

@nytheris-of-cyrodiil

[briarheart-dovahkiin]

I am happy to stay behind as well.

*The thought of going to the Nord afterlife another time didn't set well with him on principal, much less with his beast blood which yearned for the Hunting Grounds. He woukd very much prefer to stay on Nirn if possible.

[paarty-snax]

I shall gladly assist in transporting those that are going to Skuldafn.

@snow-hunter-wing

[nytheris-of-cyrodiil]

I will take the portal option.

I... do not care for flying.

@kayla-dovahkiin

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“I’m content staying here on Nirn or traveling there through portal or flight. Wherever I’m needed or what will be most beneficial, I’m more than willing to accommodate.”

@severine-livincus @vahlok-the-jailer-official

[severine-livincus]

"I think we'll stay on Nirn too. We also want to keep an eye on those two Dragon Priests. Don't fully trust them........." Severine looked at the others.

"Me too...it might be easier for us to stay here."

"I am probably the last person Damhan wants to see and I don't think I should be near the temple. I fear Alduin might try to influence me." Vahlok spoke to the Dragonborns.

@briarheart-dovahkiin and the party snacks acct

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Where the first emergency Dragonborn reunion was held, everything seems to be tidier. In the open, some clearing has been made to accommodate the dragons, with a few roasted goats waiting for them; for everyone else, mortal or undead, chairs and benches are set around several tables, each one with a large water pitcher, glasses, some fruit, and... an assortment of objects, mostly colourful junk.

[Lurendil sighs, and looks at the new faces for a while... is that Altmer near the child a new face? He doesn't remember her from last time, yet... he shakes his head. He should focus on the task at hand, only see how Odahviing is doing after... he doesn't want to be in the spotlight right now. Too many people staring, prying his secret...]

I am hopeful that dragon priest can be reasoned with, but that still leaves us with Morokei and Nahkriin. And whoever her allies are... he wouldn't have started a war without any, would he?

Because the World Eater must be recovering, he must be in Sovngarde, maybe. I don't... know more than that.

[He looks at Nytheris, as if to push her to say something instead. She was the one who called the first meeting, wasn't she? She can drive the attention away from him. He already stands up, and walks in Odahviing's direction either way.]

Probably Sovngarde.

He believes it to be his property, after all.

@kayla-dovahkiin

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sovngarde no doubt, Alduin has few dovah allies so if he were to be camping out somewhere in Skyrim he would likely be found by the other dov. Does this mean we all need to get to Sovngarde somehow then?”

"I guess so. But how are we going to get there?"

"Hmmmmm good question. We only have so many dragons."

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Where the first emergency Dragonborn reunion was held, everything seems to be tidier. In the open, some clearing has been made to accommodate the dragons, with a few roasted goats waiting for them; for everyone else, mortal or undead, chairs and benches are set around several tables, each one with a large water pitcher, glasses, some fruit, and... an assortment of objects, mostly colourful junk. Is it anyone's place to judge, when Squirrel put in most of the effort to begin with?]

[In the back, an upset, but apparently hungry Kruziikrel is already taking advantage of the offering, while his former priestess, Iizkest, uselessly tries to remind him to chew rather than down everything in one go. On the opposite side, beyond the gathering of settling familiar faces and a few new ones, Lurendil watches the sky anxiously, wondering if Odahviing has just decided not to answer the call. With a sigh, and as he delivers an unnecessarily harsh grab to Auri-El's bow on his lap, he decides to start regardless... not because he wants to, gods he is nervous anyone will notice anything odd with him, but by the criterion of being the first to have shown up today...]

Well, let's start already and tell everyone what we managed to accomplish.

Kruziikrel and I couldn't find Volsung: no matter what we tried, we didn't find any clue or track. I also... decided to check on Hevnoraak and Otar with Odahviing. They had both been killed before we arrived, we think... Faaskaalmir may have been the one to do it, so... maybe he can be taken away from the World Eater's influence, if his motives are his own.

But... [he lets go of the bow to fidget nervously with his bone rings, and looks at the sky, hoping to see the red figure once more.] ...Odahviing was... severely injured, and may need some time to recover. The World Eater is weakened in turn... because she chose to help Odahviing. Apparently, blows to the heart hurt the least for the World Eater, and that's all I have. Next group...?

[He lowers his head, shamefully.]

Kayla and I made it to Forelhost but were accosted by a Dragon Priest named Suleyk. He managed to get to Rahgot first, getting him to flee to... who knows where. We managed to kill Suleyk but the whereabouts of Rahgot are unknown to us.

@kayla-dovahkiin

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“This is true, though maybe we can find some sort of clue as to where he scurried off to? I don’t know much on Rahgot but if anyone else does, maybe we can think up somewhere he’d find acceptable to flee off to.”

[severine-livincus]

(Severine and Ezio looked at each other before Severine spoke up.)

"Well, apparently when we were fighting Zahkriisos, Rahgot came to her aid and they pulled some septim romance novel shit and agreed to help us in the fight."

"Yeah, they're staying at the Hjaalmarch house for now. We also took care of Dukaan and Ahzidal. The latter was a major asshole, screaming racist shit at Nirithur and at Severine."

[wisteria-drinks-bleach]

Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell. You there. You and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants. We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief. Shut up back there! And what's wrong with him, huh? Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King. Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they've captured you… Oh gods, where are they taking us? I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits. No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening. Hey, what village are you from, horse thief? Why do you care? A Nord's last thoughts should be of home. Rorikstead. I'm… I'm from Rorikstead.

…looks like the Thalmor are with him.

General Tullius, sir. The headsman is waiting. Good. Let's get this over with! Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me. Look at him. General Tullius the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this.

Why are we stopping? Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us.

Chat i think i should do another stealth archer build what do we think

[severine-livincus]

I think you totally should <3

[severine-livincus]

No ur so funny please don't to bald

Alright, I won't. I'll just have to style my hair differently.

[severine-livincus]

Wondering if I should figure out how to style my hair now that half of it is gone or if I should be bold and go bald.................

Hopefully we won't end up with another version of star-crossed dragon priests this time.

[severine-livincus]

I hope so too. I'm hoping this will be quick. (Severine was glad the other Priests stayed back. Otherwise this would be awkward.)

Me too. I'm not sure I want to be in the middle of that mess again. Ugh.

[falmerfederation]

I believe this is what the youth calls too much information, yes?

[severine-livincus]

I believe so.

Yeah...

(They enter the barrow, there's signs that people tried to enter as there is quite a few draugr and dead miners here.)

Ugh......

[falmerfederation]

What minerals are there to mine?

It looks like the place was completely buried.

[severine-livincus]

I have no idea. Do you know? (She looks at Ezio.)

Well....that stahlrim but as far as I know there's only ebony deposits in this part of Solstheim....

(They continue down some stairs as Draugr appear)

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur dispatches the first one with lightning.)

I am just confused why miners would be down a crypt.

[severine-livincus]

(Severine kills the second with Elemental Burst and Ezio beheads one with his sword.)

I don't either....I assumed that people would know better than to disturb the dead...

But they don't. Technically we are too but it's that or Alduin has all his Dragon Priests back.

[falmerfederation]

Yes. Better not give the beast too much ammonition.

[severine-livincus]

Definitely not. (Severine shook her head as they continued on their merry way to the main chamber. More draugr appear. Severine casts dual Elemental Burst and Ezio casts Sun's Wrath on them. )

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur gets flung into an ash pile.)

Dammit! Stupid undead Atmorans!

[severine-livincus]

(Severine casts Ice Spear multiple times at the Draugr that was attacking Nirithur. She starts swearing in Colovian as more attack them.)

How many motherfuckers are buried here??

No idea. (Ezio casts Flame Atronach to get extra help.)

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur, sneezing and cursing colorfully in Falmeris, rejoins them in battle.)

If I have to make a guess, I would - achoo! - say that they are just very fond of their mass burials.

[severine-livincus]

Now i see why my Altmer ancestors were fond of just cremating the dead. Stops (She runs out of Magicka so she takes out her sword to kill a Draugr) this from happening! (She beheads the Draugr.)

(Ezio is having a magic stand off with a Draugr.)

[falmerfederation]

Shoo!

(Nirithur blasts two draugr backwards with an ice storm.)

Moments like these make me wonder how much easier it would be to be able to use fire spells.

[severine-livincus]

(The draugr die after repeated attacks.)

Probably easier. But more easier to hurt your companions.

(The group continues to descend into the barrow)

[falmerfederation]

Haven't we reached the main chamber yet?

It has been ages.

[severine-livincus]

I think we have one more door to go through.....the freaking claw key door.

Great.....

(After battling various draugr, they reach the door. They do the puzzle and it leads to the main tomb.)

@ask-dovah-sonaakke //no rush!

[ask-dovah-sonaakke]

(Behind the door, Ahzidal sits on an ornate ancient Nordic throne, legs crossed arrogantly. He knows there are intruders in his barrow, but has full confidence in his ability to defeat them. The enchantments he himself wove into his robes make him nearly impervious to any magic, and as long as he can levitate, he can easily evade a blade. Unlike poor Dukaan and the traitor Zahkriisos, he will not fall or break.)

(He murmurs to himself.)

Come, meyus volaanne. Face the greatest enchanter to breathe the air of Tamriel.

[severine-livincus]

Sev and Ezio looking at each other like:

................Okay.

Oh joy.

@falmerfederation //no rush!

[falmerfederation]

He sounds very sure of himself.

This might actually be good. Overconfidence breeds an error-prone enemy.

@ask-dovah-sonaakke

[ask-dovah-sonaakke]

(Ahzidal stands from his throne and calls out to the intruders.)

Come in, won’t you? As Priest of this city it is my duty to greet guests such as yourselves. Do not be afraid- I do not bite.

(It’s clear by the tone of his voice he’s enjoying playing with them.)

@falmerfederation @severine-livincus

[severine-livincus]

I don't know...you do look pretty chompy....

(Severine stifles a giggle)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

He'd have to take off his mask. And I doubt he wants to do that. He looks like he would crumble to dust if he did.

@ask-dovah-sonaakke

[ask-dovah-sonaakke]

It’s not polite to talk about a man while he’s within earshot, or didn’t you know? Come now, can we not be civil?

(He holds his arms out in a mocking, placating gesture. It’s unclear if he’s genuinely trying to weasel his way out of fighting or if he’s just fucking with them.)

@severine-livincus

[severine-livincus]

I mean, it's not like we're talking about you behind your back.

Being civil with you sounds delightful as getting my head pierced with a Ice Spike.

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

Can we cut this nonsense about civility? You Dragon Priests are anything but civil.

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Ahzidal grins behind his mask, but a closer look would reveal a spiteful glint in his eyes. His stance shifts, while his hands curl upwards as a show of his readiness to cast spells. The enchantments on his robes hum with every motion.]

My mistake, speaking of civility must be excruciating for your kind. You'd much rather destroy anything civil, wouldn't you?

[His head turns to Nirithur, singling him out while he starts levitating closer to the Snow Elf. His fingers twitch from the mere effort to restrain, for now.]

( @severine-livincus , OOC under the cut )

Stepping in to continue in place of the OG Ahzidal blog, as agreed. I’ll try to keep the rest of the interaction somewhat coherent with the previous answers, credit to them for his characterization so far. The following will be nastier.

[severine-livincus]

(Severine and Ezio look at each other, instantly picking up on the rancid vibes Ahzidal was giving.)

Oh, great, he was definitely a fan of Ysgramor. I forgot how much of a bastard this guy is.

Absolutely. Ezio, we are going to have physically fight him. We can't do shit against the robes with magic.

(Both draw weapons while Ahzidal is busy.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur laughs humorlessly.)

Ah yes. The vandalizing hordes that followed the much more peaceful Nedes were oh so civil. Even without that group's attack on Saarthal, you guys would have started a war against us.

You couldn't get the Nedes to listen to your warmongering, so you used the first opportunity you could find. For all we know, you guys could have blown up your own city!

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

Blow up our own city? My own family?!

[Ahzidal laughs back, with a breathy, frantic quality. The air ripples around his figure, magicka already brewing. Any intention to tease and stall evaporates, in front of one of the people he had a key part in exterminating.]

You know nothing of what happened, vermin. Join the rest of your disgraced race!

[With that, he is covered by a Fire Cloak, followed by Ebonyflesh. Two draugr lunge for Severine and Ezio, but the entirety of his attention is devoted to Nirithur, who is faced with a stream of fire in his direction.]

( @severine-livincus )

[severine-livincus]

(Severine and Ezio switch to speaking a different tongue)

EZIO, GET HIM! (She managed to start a fight with a Draugr, blocking a few attacks before beheading it.)

(Ezio nods and casts Elemental Burst at the Draugr, before pulling out an Ebony bow and getting a Dragonbone arrow on the string.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur grits his teeth and backs away from the flame cloak. Him and his big mouth! Engwe had rightfully called it his least advantageous trait.)

One city of yours. But hundreds of ours. Look at it however you want. Call it whatever you want. Night of Tears, was it?

The truth is that you committed far worse atrocities, even against your own people that tried to stop you, than my people ever did.

(He downs a potion of fire protection and applies oakflesh, pulling out his bow... Before abruptly turning around and leaping a few paces away from the dragon priest, aiming his bow.)

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Ahzidal floats above the ground, starting to move erratically while he orbits Nirithur, to make it difficult to get a clear shot.]

It was all worth it, to gain power beyond your wildest imagination! Your misplaced pride was your own defeat.

[He commands three more draugr to attack the two Dragonborn, but his focus is unshakeable. Another stream of flame threatens to engulf his bow.]

( @severine-livincus )

[severine-livincus]

(Severine manages to take care of one of the Draugr with her sword and uses Elemental Burst to take care of the other two. She casts Mara's Wrath so she could take care of the other draugr attacking her husband.)

(Ezio managed to pull the bow enough to get a shot. Unfortunately due to Ahzidal moving around too much, he only clipped his neck instead of his head.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

As I suspected. You monster never cared about the dead, on either side.

(He throws a Sun Burst at Ahzidal, not expecting it to do much but hoping that it will stagger him at least.)

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[The arrow and the burst land almost at the same time, managing to stagger him. Ahzidal hisses, before he changes direction. He is the first, and most powerful master of the arcane, he won't be so easily struck again!]

Enough with you, filth and Men-traitors!

[The last five draugr in the chamber charge, while their master summons two flame atronachs to deal with the Imperials. He then maintains a ward with a hand, and tosses a fireball at Nirithur with the other, waiting for the potion to expire and trying to cause some damage in the meantime. Burning another Snow Elf after all this time will be sweet.

Behind Nirithur, something else stirs to life, so the wait won't have to be as unproductive: a Fungiflare Wolf lunges for his back.]

( @severine-livincus )

(wolp)

[severine-livincus]

(Ezio cast Ice Spears at the Atronachs. One managed to throw a Fireball at Severine who managed to dodge but it singed a good chunk of her hair, revealing a small but still pointed ear.)

OH FUCK YOU PILE OF DRY BONES!

(Severine drinks a Resist Cold potion and casts Blizzard to take care of the Flame Atronachs and hopefully the wolf.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur grits his teeth, unsure if he should deal with the wolf behind him, even if it means turning his back on the dragon priest.)

Varlhame isn't yours! Neither is Mereth!

(He conjures up a spear of light and shucks it at Ahzidal, the spear soaring towards his chest.)

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Ahzidal lifts his ward against the incoming spear, and huffs against the impact. It is not enough to completely divert the hit, though he is knocked back considerably; what remains cascades over his robes, briefly giving them an even more ethereal look.]

Mey! You'll die at-

[The wolf is hit by the Blizzard, whines while the mushrooms that compose its chest wither and die , and its eyes fixate on the source of the problem: Severine. Unlike its creator, it doesn't have a preferred target: with its remaining forces, it lunges toward her, while the atronachs explode and take down the draugr that were still moving... and is heading right within Ezio's range.]

[The dragon priest has no time to be disappointed in the creature, because the blow turns him at just the right time to notice Severine's exposed ear.]

...Abomination...

[He hesitates just a moment between his potential targets, before he falls back on Nirithur again. He prepares another fire stream to unleash at him...]

( @severine-livincus )

[severine-livincus]

(Ezio shoots at the wolf a few times, hoping that it does something.)

(Severine on the other hand, salty at the fact her scalp is burned, her ear is also burned and that this motherfucker had the audacity to call her an abomination...........decided to cast Fire Storm at the wolf.)

Me? Have you looked in the mirror lately?

@falmerfederation

[severine-livincus]

(Nirithur, sneezing and cursing colorfully in Falmeris, rejoins them in battle.)

If I have to make a guess, I would - achoo! - say that they are just very fond of their mass burials.

[severine-livincus]

Now i see why my Altmer ancestors were fond of just cremating the dead. Stops (She runs out of Magicka so she takes out her sword to kill a Draugr) this from happening! (She beheads the Draugr.)

(Ezio is having a magic stand off with a Draugr.)

[falmerfederation]

Shoo!

(Nirithur blasts two draugr backwards with an ice storm.)

Moments like these make me wonder how much easier it would be to be able to use fire spells.

[severine-livincus]

(The draugr die after repeated attacks.)

Probably easier. But more easier to hurt your companions.

(The group continues to descend into the barrow)

[falmerfederation]

Haven't we reached the main chamber yet?

It has been ages.

[severine-livincus]

I think we have one more door to go through.....the freaking claw key door.

Great.....

(After battling various draugr, they reach the door. They do the puzzle and it leads to the main tomb.)

@ask-dovah-sonaakke //no rush!

[ask-dovah-sonaakke]

(Behind the door, Ahzidal sits on an ornate ancient Nordic throne, legs crossed arrogantly. He knows there are intruders in his barrow, but has full confidence in his ability to defeat them. The enchantments he himself wove into his robes make him nearly impervious to any magic, and as long as he can levitate, he can easily evade a blade. Unlike poor Dukaan and the traitor Zahkriisos, he will not fall or break.)

(He murmurs to himself.)

Come, meyus volaanne. Face the greatest enchanter to breathe the air of Tamriel.

[severine-livincus]

Sev and Ezio looking at each other like:

................Okay.

Oh joy.

@falmerfederation //no rush!

[falmerfederation]

He sounds very sure of himself.

This might actually be good. Overconfidence breeds an error-prone enemy.

@ask-dovah-sonaakke

[ask-dovah-sonaakke]

(Ahzidal stands from his throne and calls out to the intruders.)

Come in, won’t you? As Priest of this city it is my duty to greet guests such as yourselves. Do not be afraid- I do not bite.

(It’s clear by the tone of his voice he’s enjoying playing with them.)

@falmerfederation @severine-livincus

[severine-livincus]

I don't know...you do look pretty chompy....

(Severine stifles a giggle)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

He'd have to take off his mask. And I doubt he wants to do that. He looks like he would crumble to dust if he did.

@ask-dovah-sonaakke

[ask-dovah-sonaakke]

It’s not polite to talk about a man while he’s within earshot, or didn’t you know? Come now, can we not be civil?

(He holds his arms out in a mocking, placating gesture. It’s unclear if he’s genuinely trying to weasel his way out of fighting or if he’s just fucking with them.)

@severine-livincus

[severine-livincus]

I mean, it's not like we're talking about you behind your back.

Being civil with you sounds delightful as getting my head pierced with a Ice Spike.

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

Can we cut this nonsense about civility? You Dragon Priests are anything but civil.

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Ahzidal grins behind his mask, but a closer look would reveal a spiteful glint in his eyes. His stance shifts, while his hands curl upwards as a show of his readiness to cast spells. The enchantments on his robes hum with every motion.]

My mistake, speaking of civility must be excruciating for your kind. You'd much rather destroy anything civil, wouldn't you?

[His head turns to Nirithur, singling him out while he starts levitating closer to the Snow Elf. His fingers twitch from the mere effort to restrain, for now.]

( @severine-livincus , OOC under the cut )

Stepping in to continue in place of the OG Ahzidal blog, as agreed. I’ll try to keep the rest of the interaction somewhat coherent with the previous answers, credit to them for his characterization so far. The following will be nastier.

[severine-livincus]

(Severine and Ezio look at each other, instantly picking up on the rancid vibes Ahzidal was giving.)

Oh, great, he was definitely a fan of Ysgramor. I forgot how much of a bastard this guy is.

Absolutely. Ezio, we are going to have physically fight him. We can't do shit against the robes with magic.

(Both draw weapons while Ahzidal is busy.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur laughs humorlessly.)

Ah yes. The vandalizing hordes that followed the much more peaceful Nedes were oh so civil. Even without that group's attack on Saarthal, you guys would have started a war against us.

You couldn't get the Nedes to listen to your warmongering, so you used the first opportunity you could find. For all we know, you guys could have blown up your own city!

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

Blow up our own city? My own family?!

[Ahzidal laughs back, with a breathy, frantic quality. The air ripples around his figure, magicka already brewing. Any intention to tease and stall evaporates, in front of one of the people he had a key part in exterminating.]

You know nothing of what happened, vermin. Join the rest of your disgraced race!

[With that, he is covered by a Fire Cloak, followed by Ebonyflesh. Two draugr lunge for Severine and Ezio, but the entirety of his attention is devoted to Nirithur, who is faced with a stream of fire in his direction.]

( @severine-livincus )

[severine-livincus]

(Severine and Ezio switch to speaking a different tongue)

EZIO, GET HIM! (She managed to start a fight with a Draugr, blocking a few attacks before beheading it.)

(Ezio nods and casts Elemental Burst at the Draugr, before pulling out an Ebony bow and getting a Dragonbone arrow on the string.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur grits his teeth and backs away from the flame cloak. Him and his big mouth! Engwe had rightfully called it his least advantageous trait.)

One city of yours. But hundreds of ours. Look at it however you want. Call it whatever you want. Night of Tears, was it?

The truth is that you committed far worse atrocities, even against your own people that tried to stop you, than my people ever did.

(He downs a potion of fire protection and applies oakflesh, pulling out his bow... Before abruptly turning around and leaping a few paces away from the dragon priest, aiming his bow.)

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[Ahzidal floats above the ground, starting to move erratically while he orbits Nirithur, to make it difficult to get a clear shot.]

It was all worth it, to gain power beyond your wildest imagination! Your misplaced pride was your own defeat.

[He commands three more draugr to attack the two Dragonborn, but his focus is unshakeable. Another stream of flame threatens to engulf his bow.]

( @severine-livincus )

[severine-livincus]

(Severine manages to take care of one of the Draugr with her sword and uses Elemental Burst to take care of the other two. She casts Mara's Wrath so she could take care of the other draugr attacking her husband.)

(Ezio managed to pull the bow enough to get a shot. Unfortunately due to Ahzidal moving around too much, he only clipped his neck instead of his head.)

@falmerfederation

[falmerfederation]

As I suspected. You monster never cared about the dead, on either side.

(He throws a Sun Burst at Ahzidal, not expecting it to do much but hoping that it will stagger him at least.)

@miscellaneous-people-of-tes

[miscellaneous-people-of-tes]

[The arrow and the burst land almost at the same time, managing to stagger him. Ahzidal hisses, before he changes direction. He is the first, and most powerful master of the arcane, he won't be so easily struck again!]

Enough with you, filth and Men-traitors!

[The last five draugr in the chamber charge, while their master summons two flame atronachs to deal with the Imperials. He then maintains a ward with a hand, and tosses a fireball at Nirithur with the other, waiting for the potion to expire and trying to cause some damage in the meantime. Burning another Snow Elf after all this time will be sweet.

Behind Nirithur, something else stirs to life, so the wait won't have to be as unproductive: a Fungiflare Wolf lunges for his back.]

( @severine-livincus )

(wolp)

[severine-livincus]

(Ezio cast Ice Spears at the Atronachs. One managed to throw a Fireball at Severine who managed to dodge but it singed a good chunk of her hair, revealing a small but still pointed ear.)

OH FUCK YOU PILE OF DRY BONES!

(Severine drinks a Resist Cold potion and casts Blizzard to take care of the Flame Atronachs and hopefully the wolf.)

@falmerfederation

[severine-livincus]

Severine, Ezio, and Nirithur were standing outside of Kolbjorn Barrow, ready for their last Dragon Priest battle. Freya had stayed behind in the camp, too ashamed of seeing Nirithur after the plushie crisis.

@falmerfederation //no rush

@ask-dovah-sonaakke (for pinging purposes, we'll ping you in once we're ready)

[falmerfederation]

Hopefully we won't end up with another version of star-crossed dragon priests this time.

[severine-livincus]

I hope so too. I'm hoping this will be quick. (Severine was glad the other Priests stayed back. Otherwise this would be awkward.)

Me too. I'm not sure I want to be in the middle of that mess again. Ugh.

[falmerfederation]

I believe this is what the youth calls too much information, yes?

[severine-livincus]

I believe so.

Yeah...

(They enter the barrow, there's signs that people tried to enter as there is quite a few draugr and dead miners here.)

Ugh......

[falmerfederation]

What minerals are there to mine?

It looks like the place was completely buried.

[severine-livincus]

I have no idea. Do you know? (She looks at Ezio.)

Well....that stahlrim but as far as I know there's only ebony deposits in this part of Solstheim....

(They continue down some stairs as Draugr appear)

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur dispatches the first one with lightning.)

I am just confused why miners would be down a crypt.

[severine-livincus]

(Severine kills the second with Elemental Burst and Ezio beheads one with his sword.)

I don't either....I assumed that people would know better than to disturb the dead...

But they don't. Technically we are too but it's that or Alduin has all his Dragon Priests back.

[falmerfederation]

Yes. Better not give the beast too much ammonition.

[severine-livincus]

Definitely not. (Severine shook her head as they continued on their merry way to the main chamber. More draugr appear. Severine casts dual Elemental Burst and Ezio casts Sun's Wrath on them. )

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur gets flung into an ash pile.)

Dammit! Stupid undead Atmorans!

[severine-livincus]

(Severine casts Ice Spear multiple times at the Draugr that was attacking Nirithur. She starts swearing in Colovian as more attack them.)

How many motherfuckers are buried here??

No idea. (Ezio casts Flame Atronach to get extra help.)

[falmerfederation]

(Nirithur, sneezing and cursing colorfully in Falmeris, rejoins them in battle.)

If I have to make a guess, I would - achoo! - say that they are just very fond of their mass burials.

[severine-livincus]

Now i see why my Altmer ancestors were fond of just cremating the dead. Stops (She runs out of Magicka so she takes out her sword to kill a Draugr) this from happening! (She beheads the Draugr.)

(Ezio is having a magic stand off with a Draugr.)

[falmerfederation]

Shoo!

(Nirithur blasts two draugr backwards with an ice storm.)

Moments like these make me wonder how much easier it would be to be able to use fire spells.

Probably easier. But more easier to hurt your companions.
