Shaken though he was by the discovery, Tiramir's spirits were renewed by Crimson's words, and the prospect of bringing vengeance to the Daedra scum. "Unlike you fighters perhaps, I am at the full extent of my power in open spaces, where I have no fears of striking friendly troops. As I am not the only spell caster, and it appears a few of us have some skill with a bow, I propose we "scale the walls". However, I believe we can take this to a greater level with the use of levitation - either through spells or potions. If we could make our way through the gate to the northern wall, I believe we could simply glide to the enemies. We sorcerers could provide shields as well as pin the Daedra with our spells. When the warriors finally make it across, we could do much the same as what one does when boarding a ship. We would spill into the Garth, and overrun their defenses. From here we could make our way to the stones. During the entire battle, my summoned creatures, and Marissa's healing spells will play across all aspects of the assault. Secondly, I agree with Crimson. Not only would fighting in the crypts put us in a bottle neck, but few of us are armed with silver weaponry, and a vampire bite can often prove much more devastating than any Dremora's axe." Turning to Abbot Diane he asks her, "Lui and I can bestow upon the group a number of potions - I have some skill in the art, and a monk is bound to have left his mortar somewhere in this place. Perhaps you too could provide us with more." Facing now all those present he adds, "We must also collect any silver weapons we can find, as, should the vampires come to reinforce the Daedra, the blades will be a great asset to our cause." On the verge of plunging into the battle already, Tiramir concluded he could be of best use in his alchemy, and as he leaves to find an apparatus, he motions Crimson and Frouth to begin the search of armaments.

No weapons, or anything of value will be found by searching around here.

Something is strange about that Darak. Ilutivar hurried to catch up with Lui and Darak. He agreed with the plan.

He decided to search for silver weaponery. Ilutivar touched every corner and «smelled» around like some crazy maniac. There's no silver! It's getting worse every minute. What in Vivec`s name are we going to do now? “Do not worry Ilutivar. I can help you – this is my long researched spell(she gives him a little paper). Give it to the other and let them learn it, but beware - it is very dangerous and takes much energy. Use it only if you have no other choice. The spell can summon silver weapons. Good luck Ilutivar and watch yourself!”it was Metharia again. That woman is very strange, but very helpful. I wonder when is she going to tell me who she is? He looked at the paper – seremon nagh powne srebrni koin sada was written on it. I should tell that to the others. “Tiramir, Lui, everybody, look at this!” He tolled them about Metharia and the spell.

[OOC]This is not powerplaying or something like that. I am not changing the story. It is just a way things can be handled.[OOC]

Though satisfied with what he perceived to be a solid battle plan, Tiramir was disturbed by the sudden thought of what would happen, should the Daedra forces prove to be too powerful. A massacre, that’s what... Fortunately, the thought occurred to him that by simply integrating a level of subterfuge into their assault, such a doom might be evaded. "After analyzing my initial ideas, I would like to make two major additions. Firstly, any form of chameleon or cloak will be invaluable as, during our crawl along the northern wall, we will be helpless before enemy fire. Secondly, and perhaps more difficult to execute of the two, is an undercover pair. Two persons who will approach the enemy’s defensive position with stealth, hoping to warn the direct attackers of hazards, as well as to perhaps cause a certain level of confusion just before the attack strikes." Hoping his insights had improved their chances of success, Tiramir awaited the thoughts and actions of his companions.

"Count me out! I'm not for stealth. Maybe a fortify sneak spell could help; when the stealth pair infiltrates among them, they can cast a blindness or a demoralize creature spell. They can whisper when can we attack and I will hear them and then alert you. I have an longbow somebody can use - I am not skilled with it anymore as I used to be; it would be of greater service to somebody else. Who is a good marksman?" he said and offerd his bow to somebody.

[Darak Shadowblade]

Darak stood behind the rest of the group while Tiramir was speaking.
He eyed nervously at the others: who could he trust? Maybe nobody at all...

Tiramir stopped talking and Ilutivar intervened. Then it was Darak's turn to speak:

"I am skilled both in the illusion school and in the art of moving silently. I can go and scout the way ahead and I would gladly perform such a task. I've no need of aides: I can go alone and have less chances of being spotted"
Actually he preferred to go on his own: this way he wouldn't have to worry for a possible enemy behind his back!
"Anyway, although I can fool those fiends' eyes and ears, some of them like scamps or daedroth could still smell me." Addressing the magic users in the party and Abbot Diane, Darak asked "Have you got or can you prepare some concoction that could hide my odour from their vicious nostrils?"

But whether they had it or not, for Darak it would make no difference: he was eager to be back in action after such a long inactivity.

OOC> AFAIK you have left the Abbot behind and gone outside. Whatever, she will not be able to help you.

"Let us go forth from this place and assult the north wall to gain access. We need to make haste not stand here pontificating about what might happen." looking at the group as a whole "my silver bolts have gone missing but I still have my glass frost sword which will aide in killing daedra and vampires like, if necessary I will lead" to Tiramir "we could use that levitation trick to get to the wall and over them, as one way to hide in plain sight is to just be above peoples heads" to Darak "I can feel your distrust, and understand it but at the moment we need to combine our skill, when we get to the church, then we ca split up but we need to get there first"

So we left as a team to scale the wall.

[Laurie]

Levitate spells were cast and so we rose into the air to enable us to clear the wall, this is frighening the first time, enougth to make your skin crawl as Frouths was at the moment, she didinot like heights at the best of times but when there was literally nothing under her feet all the childhood fears returned and she said "this scares the poo out of me"

thank you for cleaning that up for me[i]

We were dropped the other side of the wall "now where to go next"

[Laurie]

"we need to head for the church now" so the group begins th head for the church and to try to resolve the problem,
