It was a dark and stormy night willow set out from the docks of Dagon Fel. She had grown up around the ruins there learning how to sneak past the evil that lurked in the shadows. She wasnt like others, always getting into trouble and find waysout of them. But one night She saw a feet that amazed her. The traviling Bards club had come to town and she went with her mother and father. When she was there she saw all of the trinckets and heard some of the stories the bards picked up on their journeys though-out the province of Morrowind. Sadly, Willow had never been out side of the island Dagon Fell was on.

 

The show started with the bards doing a singing bit, followed by a parade of imported bears, and then willow saw something amazing. A archer steped onto the stage followed by a assistant. The Archer was clad in a dark green tunic with a ivory pendent hanging from his neck. He had a ivory bow also which was the most wounderful thing willow had ever seen. The assistant place a apple in her hand and the archer shot a steel arrow from 200 yards away stright through the center of the apple. Willow did not remember what else hapened that night, but for 12 years Willow had trained with one of the village hunters bows' perfecting her skills and proficency with it. She eventually saved up and bought her own bonemold longbow when a traviling sales man came to town. She later found out it was had a great defect in the bow shaft and had to learn how to repair it with what little tools she had.

 

Willow never forgot the Bards and the amazing archer that did something she could not yet do. She then set out on her journey with but a few supplies. She was heading to Ald Ruhn the second biggest city in all of morrowind.

OOC: HeHe.. I never gave my Character a name. howza bout J'Rahza.

 

J'Rahza picked up the last crate and hauled it inside. This was the last of the 'big one'. Over 700 crates of Skooma. They spent all of yesterday hauling it inside, and now it was about five in the morning. everyone was tired, but very happy with themselves. J'rahza looked to the east and saw the looming castle of Pelagiad in the distance. It was perfect. So close to Pelagiad, they never checked here, thinking someone would be stupid to base their operations so close. Also really close to Dren Plantation.

 

--------------guess Im gonna write first person---------------------------

 

"Hey, J'Rahza. Come over here." The boss yelled across the shipment.

 

The boss was a nord. tall, black hair, small beard. Smart and strong. He used a nice Ebony longsword he stole. Used alot of steel, and A Dragon Bone Cuirass to mark his rank. I got a newtscale one to show off my rank too. Second-In-Command.

 

"We just got a drop from Telvanni." He said Smiling. "We've been having a good week alright. Here, read it." He said, handing it over to me.

 

 

The letter read:

 

Dear T(Boss's name is Thurnt)

 

Hlaalu have been wracking up alot from certain Ebony mines. One of them is the Mantru Mine, on the other side of Pelagiad from you guys, about a mile north. We will pay 50000 gold for the destruction of this mine, and you can keep any Ebony you can grab. Payment will be given upon completion at the usual spot.

 

I stared, my face a mix between a large smile and a dropped jaw.

 

"This is great! Ebony sells for about three hundred per five pounds!" I yelled.

 

Boss-man was smiling greatly.

 

"We're all gonna be rich!!" he yelled in a whisper.

 

Today was a good day.

Akkli, was finishing is latest contract. A small time thief in Khuul. It was around mid-night, but the door was unlocked. Slowly, carefully, Akkli snuck(sp?) in and looked around. The house was dark but he could see a small Wood Elf snoring in a hammok acros the hut. Creeping over Akkli saw a steel dagger on the table beside the Elf. Picking it up he grabed the elf and covered his mouth, turned his head against the wall and ran the blade across the Elf's throut. It was all done with well practice fulitity. The small elf's scream was stifled but his own blood pouring down his throut.

 

He'd left the dagger imbeded in the elf's chest. Then left, and returnd to the house of is contractor. The contractor was a nord lady, as lady-like as they could be...she paid him his 200 gold and thanked him for his work. Then leaving Akkli returned to the ship he had come on. It was leaving for Ebonheart in the morning.

 

NOTE- I am just saying Akkli had 300gold trhen + this 200 gives him his aloted 500 starting gold.

 

Oh and I'm sorry for continually changoing my char but I decides and axe assasin is odd. So Axe and war axe are changed to short blade and daeric(unenchanted) dagger(is that too powerful?)

[I Am That Is Matthias]

Shadow wanders into the Morag tong headquareters and walks up to Hlaalu. 'Threana is dead now wheres my payment" hlaalu hands over *How much gold*

 

 

 

 

 

OOC: Are we controlling npcs and stuff or re we doing dnd rpg type.

The other men were around me, we were sneaking to the mine. It was around three a.m. Hopefully, everyone was asleep. Boss-man unlocked the cave entrance and opened the door slowly. The long-blades went first. I, me with my bow and a couple of others went in after them. Then the rest, short-bladers, came in. There was one guard, who now had Boss-man's ebony sword sticking out of him.

 

Me and the rest of us Khajit's went first, clearing the way, telling the others what was around us. We made no noise, stealthy, as Khajit fighters should. It was around five by the time the miners and guards were dead.

 

"good work j'Rahza." boss-man said. "Now for the Ebony."

 

I started getting guys to pry out the easy-to-get ebony, while Boss-man coordinated moving them back to our cave. We took all the ebony that was mined but not shipped, and the stuff that was easy to get out of the walls. By ten a.m., We were done.

 

the cave was filled. The entrance had a small path, about a yard wide, and that was it because of all the boxes. The second room was almost the same. Even platforms we built were almost full. In the third room, the common sleeping area, most men were sleeping on boxes. Our fourth room, a small area to plan things, had a few boxes. The hallway after that was full too. My room had about ten boxes, Boss-man only had three.

 

'It's good we spent all that time digging this place out." Boss-man said over a bottle of Sujamma. We were all in the sleeping are, hanging out. Some of the skooma was broken open. Sujamma, Mazte and Shein were being passed around. I had my bowl of Sugar.

 

"Yup." I replied, taking another bite of the sugar.

 

"I need you to meet the Telvanni who come tomorrow." Boss-man told me. "Meet them near the fields od Kummu. a little north of there, near the tomb."

 

"Won't it be obvious seeing a Khajit lugging 50000 septims from there?" I asked him.

 

"Naa, no farms up there. Just skirt the east side of the lake, no one will see you. Bring a couple men to help." Boss-man replied.

 

Finishing the bowl, I stumbled back to my room.

 

It was a nice room, for a cave. My bed was a nice double-wide. I had a couple of bookshelves with a few books on it. The usual, sermons and all, and a couple of books on Daedra. I had a small shrine to Sheograth and Boethiah in the room. I would pray to them both equally, but I didn't want to be too go to crazy, so I worshipped Boethiah more. There was a rug on the ground. Not as fancy as

Boss-mans, but still nice. I had a little mannequin to hang my armor on, and a weapon rack for my bow. I had my own small collection of Sugar I kept in a drawer in my dresser. The top of my dresser was filled with probes and lockpicks, some working, some bent.

 

I put my stuff away and went to bed. I was really tired, up all night.

 

Today was also a good day.

 

 

OOC:Posts to long? sorry, I just really like the idea of this RP. Hope I dont screw it up like Mad World :P

[Rynos]

OOC: Im, gonna start talking like I am willow now.

 

 

On the boat I sat in a small corner, "this was going to be a long trip," I though in privacy of a wooden crate. I had only a few peices of gold left after the fair of the trip. I was smart enough not to do anything mischivious to near her hometown, I might be reconised.The boat started to move...

 

 

"ALL ABORED!!!" cried the captian of the ship.

 

"oh god, shut up!" yelled a small boy on the pier, then being quickly scolded by the boys mother.

 

As the boat started to pull away from the peir, then the island I saw my only family grow smaller and smaller until I could see them no more. I was free now.

 

I hoped to sleep in the crate til the morning. "At least I am dry," I continued to think . It was over 500g to get a room, but only 65g to get on...

 

 

"Once I get to Khull I should try to get some money. Im so friggen broke. I need to pull a job soon or Ill die in the street. I think Ill try to get some sleep soon."

[Acoran]

Once he reached Ebonheart, Akkli began to 'queitly' search for clients. He found one. A minor noble just outside Ebonheart had a job for a skilled assasin. There was this theif belonging to On of the Hlaalu nobles, this man, Reca Gruban, wanted him gone so his own theif could move in on the 'juicey' targets.

 

Wandering out of town, follwing the little map Reca had drawn, Akkli attempted to find this Manor. It was supossed to be hidden in a small valley north of Pelagiad. At last just as the sun was setting Akkli reached Pelagiad. The talk of the town was a full Ebony mine sunddenly going empty over night. But Akkli moved on, at night, he was in is element. At last at about 10 Pm Akkli came over a hill, below in a small valley was a classic hlaalu style Manor, the guards were passing sleeply and off in the distence Akkli could here Nix-hounds fighting.

Slowly Akkli snuck(sp?) down the hill staying to the shadows. When he reached the wall he pushed him self against it, and waited. Soon the sound of a guard's foot steps drew near. THen the guard came around the corner and yelled "Intru--" just before Akkli takled him, held his hand over the guard's mouth and slit the guard's throut. Then he scaled the wall and nimbly leapt down. He snuck around until he came to a Wall. It was a normal looking wall but there was a faint light coming throuh one of the cracks. Queitly Akkli drew his dagger, and push on the wall, hi opened.

Inside was a tall Impereial sitting at a table eating some stew. Akkli lunged. His dagger plundged into the man's shoulder, but the man rolled away and drew the dagger from his shoulder. Akkli lunged the table, threw the hot stew at the man and then drew a few throwing daggers and placed them neatly in the man's stomach. There was a grunt and the man fell to the ground.

Akkli left then, after retreving his dagger. When he reached Pelagaid, the owner of the manor 3 miles to the north found a dead guard and his thief with a bowl stuck on his face.

I got up around five in the morning and got a group together. With me is a Redguard, Argonian, and a Dunmer. We walked to a local farm and traded him. four bottles of Skooma for his guar/cart for the day. It was no big deal, we had enough Skooma.

 

It took us two hours to finally get to the tomb.

 

"Hello Traveller, nice day?" The man standing there asked.

 

"beutifally dark." I answered. It was the 'password', so the wizard would know it was us. He opened the door to the tomb, and right at the entrance were ten boxes.

 

"5000 gold in each. And here, take this." The mage said, handing me a rolled up note.

 

We loaded the boxes in the cart and headed back.

 

two and a half hours later, we got back. The other men took the boxes down to the 'Vault', a large cavern below the main area. It's entrance was between mine and Boss-man's bedrooms.

 

I went into my room and made a quick prayer to Sheograth, but a longer one to Boethiah. Suddenly I remebered the note, and headed to Boss-man's room.

 

 

I went in. He had a nice room. The men built a hardwood floor there, so you didn't walk in dirt. He had a nice rug, with Azura's star on it. He had a mannequin and weapon rack himself. On the rack was his sword and a glass dagger, on the mannequin was a steel right pauldron, steel greaves, steel boots, and a steel left gauntlet. He was wearing his dragon bone cuirass. he had a small shrine to Azura in his room to.

 

"Thanks." He said, when I handed him the letter. He read it over quickly.

 

"Seem's Hlaalu is mad at us for all the mines we've been wrecking for Telvanni. It's a warning from Telvanni, saying to be careful for assasins. You're not an assasin, are you?" He said, laughing.

 

"We need to get the skooma to the Dren's so they can ship it for us." Boss-man said, going back to being serious.

 

"I'll take it up tommorow." I said.

 

"Good. Probably just ten boxes. We don't want to attract notice. You know the usual amount a crate goes for. ten thousand gold. Don't go for any lower."

Boss-man told me.

 

I walked over to the sleeping area where everyone was hanging out, opened up some Greef and hungout until around ten.

 

I walked into my room, put my stuff away and went to sleep.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

"There. 100,000." The man said, pointing to about twenty boxes. The other five started loading them onto the cart. The Dren's would distribute the Skooma throughout Vvardenfell, keeping all the profit, which was usually around 150,000. We didn't do it. because we didn't have the connections. We made a nice profit anyway's though.

 

OOC: hehe... long post. I'll just leave it at that right now so you don't read forever. bad ending though.... oh well.

[Rynos]

I awoke many times during the night. Some strange sounds coming from the open sea earlyer. It appeared we were attack during the night also due to the fact there was a dead body on the main deck. For some odd reason they though it was me and started to search the ship.

 

"Why me... oh man this sucks. What am i gonna do now."

 

So I listed my options.

 

"I could jump ship and swim island to island.

I could hide and hope they dont find me, then sneak off in the night at the next dock.

Or I could always hi-jack the ship."

 

"Hum..."

" Think ill hide for now, I dont feel like much swimming."

 

 

 

A few hours later I was descovered...

 

 

" Get out here now and put your weapons on the floor." Said a old sea fairer.

 

So I slowly got up out of the crate and started to put my few weapons down onto the ground. Except for une steel dagger.

 

"SHE'S OVER...," He said turning his body around, big mistake.

 

As he turned I unstelthed my dagger and split his stomach with a wide gash. Then I made a swift motion upward and slit his throut so he would make no sound. Looting what little he had I managed to get 10g, a small amulet that let me breath underwater for a few seconds every day, and a few peices of dried scrib jerkey which I ate on the spot. I guess I might as well swim now killing part of the crew cant be good. I made a break for it just as a heafty crew-mate took out a rapier and slashed me across my face. Oh the pain! I jumped into the warm-salty waters of the sea. Salt going over my wound made it close faster although I still lost enough blood to make me drowsy. I found a small island and collapsed on the dry rocky beach.
