"Please, sir, we wish to rest," said the female Khajiit, "We are all feeling the backlash of a dragon attack in the nearby village. Please... Khajiit do not want to be alone tonight,"

What do you do: Stay at the camp with the caravan and get some free stuff, or move on to Wintermarch and get there quicker?

((Probably should've mentioned this earlier. The game, like skyrim, is going to have RPG choice elements in it; what you do will affect what happens in the story as a whole. Also, those Dragon Soul Jars the heroes were given? Whoever makes the kill gets the soul. Trust me, they'll be important later on.))

2890865 (I say stay)

2890845 2890865 (I'm along for the ride with the group of heroes.)

"I haven't seen any dragons around here in awhile. They're probably elsewhere, focusing on a village." Faust said.

2890865>>2890937>>2890896
"I vote for staying." Zhang says, nodding her head to the Khajiit. "They look too tired to withstand any bandits that may come upon them." She looks to them. "Oracle shall be ready if you require aid." She says, lifting her ebony bow and smiling, slinging it over her back.

"Kh'zaljo thanks you," said the elderly cat as he laid his head upon the ground. Soon enough, the entire caravan was cuddled beside the fire.

[You have chosen to let them stay. You spend the night at your campsite, telling stories as you all slowly made your way to sleep. Night passes without incident (Don't expect that to happen often), and the sun rises, attempting to push its way through the constant, oppressive grey-green clouds in the sky.]

Begin Day 2.

2891049 2891162 Faust groaned as he moved. He didn't need to sleep, but sitting in one place all night to simulate it made it hard to get moving again. Lana was lucky, in that she could sit in one place for a week straight and still be unhindered. "Good morning everyone. A night without being attacked by dragons is a great night of sleep." He said, stoking the fire from the small embers to a small blaze.

2891162>>2890937>>2890896
Zhang yawns and stretches before awakening the older khajiit. "Kh'zaljo, I have a question involving your merchandise." She said quietly.

2891049
2891162
2891399 "INDEED IT IS!" I said Merrily "Except I don't sleep so whatever."

2891423
"What is it you are looking for, friend?" said Kh'zaljo as he yawned and stretched.

2891399
Strunvenro roused himself from slumber as he spoke in Faust's mind. So I say, we get them to Wintermarch, bring them to the nearest tavern, get em all drunk offa their asses, rhen kill them all as they sleep. Sound good?

2891434
"Why do you not sleep?" asked the female Khajiit, who had introduced herself as Njall, "Is that a custom for you… thestrals, I believe the term is?"

2891399
2891423
2891688 "Fraid its a little more complicated than that." I say grabbing a bottle of crimson liquid and handed it to her. "Don't drink it just smell and you'll will have all the answers you need."

2891423 2891434 2891688 I was told to create obstacles for them, but our lords want them for themselves.

"Not sleeping is interesting. There're very few creatures that can do that." Faust said. "Although the only ones that come to mind are vampires and the undead."

2891751 "Well you got that correct. Except vampires are a type of undead you know?"

2891751
2891777
Njall sniffed the open bottle, immediately catching the peculiar scent of crimson ichor. "I see," she said, "More complicated indeed. You would not have any relation to Molag Bal, would you?"

2891423
2891751
2891869 "Never heard of em."

2891688
2891969
2891751
"I was wondering if you had any..." She leans in and whispers. "Skooma." She leans away then smiles. "Or if you have any arrows, that'd be nice."

2892189 2891969 2891869 Always good to find out these things. A vampire and a drug addict.

"We should probably get moving. No telling what'll happen if we keep sitting here though." Faust said, standing up and dusting himself off. "You said you were heading to Wintermarch? Mind if an old man and his daughter join you?" Faust asked, as Lana moved over to stand beside him.

2891869
2892189
2892257 "I thank you for your hospitality but I am afraid I cannot allow any civilians to travel with us. We are on official royal safety business and we cannot risk getting distracted. I am truly sorry. and before we go I believe we have some goods to collect."

2892189
"While the Khajiit try to avoid stereotypes," said the aged cat, "Kh'zaljo must admit that caravans always keep a supply of these wares for our… more needing buyers." He then pulled out a medium sized knapsack, opened it to show Zhang that it was full of the beverage, then gave it to the archer, saying, "Free of charge, for your continued hospitality."

2892345
2892257
"Hold on," said Njall, "we made a promise, so we must keep it. Before you leave, you may take a few things from our stock, free of charge." The feline then ran and got their chest of wares, opening it for all to see. Inside, there was:
Skooma (15)
Lock picks (20)
Imperial Dagger (5)
Studded Armor (2)
Spell Tome: Frost
Spell Tome: Fast Healing
Spell Tome: Raise Zombie

What do you take? [You may take two different items, with a max of five per one item. First come, first serve.]

2892345 "Really, so what do you expect to do about those saber-tooths that have been sneaking up on us for the past few minutes?" Faust asked as a deep growling came from the nearby brush.

2892651 Faust walked over, grabbing the Raise Zombie tome and nothing else. "Thank you kindly." He said, opening the book and ignoring the growling.

2892664
"What growling?" Kh'zaljo whispered to Faust, making sure he wasn't heard, "Kh'zaljo hears no growling." Having lived on the road for their entire lives, this Khajiit caravan had built up quite a resistance to trickery and illusions, though they didn't exactly realize it.

2892651
2892664
2892345
"It isn't for me. It's for my sister." She smiles and takes the Frost tome. "And this looks interesting." She starts reading.

2892737 (You said to give them some obstacles.)

2892822 2892345 "The growling coming from those." Faust said, pointing to the first of a few sabertooths coming out of the underbrush. They had black smoke coming from their eyes, and their flesh seemed to be ripped in places. "Looks like you drew the attention of someone that doesn't want you to get very far." He said nonchalantly, as Lana stood by him.

2892905
((I know, and you're doing great. Don't take what I am doing as dissatisfaction.))

2892651 (Five lock picks and five imperial daggers) Turning I drew my crossbows anf fired like a mad man at the tigers. Never missed a single hit.

2893889 2894032 2892822 The sabertooths continued to move towards them, growling. The bolts stuck out of their flesh, but they didn't pay them any attention.

"Apparently you don't pay attention. I'm going to pity this place if you're their last hope, with how inobservant you are. They're undead." He said, turning the page to his book. "You drew the attention of a necromancer. Powerful one, if he's got this many." He said, as Lana decapitated one that lunged for Faust. A black fog poured out of its neck, as it slumped to the ground.

2894593
The Khajiit backed away, seeing that things were going down that they wouldn't like. Soon enough, they were all gone.
2894032
2892822
Strunvenro, in an attempt to keep up his canine appearance, leapt at the zombies as he thought a dog would, chewing on its neck with his all-too-real draconic teeth.

2892905>>2897599>>2894032
Zhang draws her daggers, and stays back, ready for anything, ready to unleash her rage upon any who dare attack.

((Collective poke. Where'd you go? Lepking, you brought these creatures into the story, it's your responsibility to see them out.))

((Alright guys/gals, I'm going to have to put this rp on hold (NOT cancelling the thing). Some stuff has cropped up, and it's out of my hands. I don't know how long it'll take to resolve. Wind guide you, and I'll see you all later.))
