The Rise of the Dragonguard

As Lucius enjoyed doing on a warm morning, he left the Outpost early for some hunting when he saw Drelayn wondering about Dragons Bridge, restless. "If you wlould prefer, we can leave for the warehouse now." Lucius asked.

Drelayn

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

Have you done all you need to here in Dragon Bridge? If so, I have a carriage waiting for me on the edge of town. I can wait for a little longer if there is anyone else you need to meet, or anything you need to do before we leave.

Lucius

"I would advise against that, we are going to talk more of the Mortalitus correct? We need to be secretive and the carriage driver may let word spread that we are rising once more.

This may end before it even begins."

Lucius

With that Lucius replied "Like the old times?"

He then walked to the road south of Dragons Bridge where the carriage awaited and jumped on the seating area. Before the driver could respond Lucius pushed the driver violently towards the ground next to the horses and rode to a path slightly further to the North. "Your turn." He signalled to Drelyan as he went away.

Drelayn

Drelayn drew his longsword from the scabbard, and, with one quicky motion, plunged the blade into the throat of the carriage operator. "No witnesses" said Drelayn, as he dumped the body in the Karth River. He washed the blood off of his sword in the river, and returned to Lucius waiting in the carriage.

Lucius

"So, this is my 'plan'. We make an assassination of someone high profile, highly respected and make it obvious that we are back. We also have to train Gaius, I'm sure Ev'ra wouldn't mind doing so. But we also need a base of operations, somewhere we can gather and plot without the fear of being watched." He explained.

We could check the old Mortalitus bases, I believe there was one around here somewhere, wasn't there? I didn't travel to Haafingar much in the Mortalitus Oculatus, so I'm trusting you on this one. On that matter, how can you sure that we can trust Gaius and Ev'ra?

I've known Gaius since he was young and Ev'ra is a member of House Hlaalu and an old friend. We can trust them.
About the base, there IS a fort on Mount Kilkreath, near the Statue to Meridia.

Thank you. We have to be cautious when recruiting, but these two seem like they can be trusted by your description. It would be nice to see more Hlaalus, I haven't seem many apart from you for a while. Do you know what state the fort is in? Is it still suitable for the Mortalitus Oculatus?

Lucius

I had been past it many times and it appears untouched from the outside but inside, I do not know. We appear to have arrived." Lucius said as he stopped the carriage in front of the path to the warehouse.

Drelayn hailed the guard standing outside of the Warehouse, and asked if Varus Vantinius was there. "He was on the docks overseeing a shipment from Windhelm Solstheim last time I saw him. That was half an hour ago." said the guard, and Drelayn thanked him. The guard asked no questions, as Drelayn was a member of the East Empire Company, and was expected at the Warehouse.

That was half an hour ago." said the guard. ''And what of Darius?'' asked Drelayn, when he suddenly remembered the another ex-member of the Mortalitus Oculatus worked in the Warehouse. ''Darius is not here'' replied the Guard ''He is currently taking a break from work.'' Drelayn thanked the guard, and entered the warehouse. The guard asked no questions, as Drelayn was a member of the East Empire Company, and was expected at the Warehouse.
Lucius

Lucius followed Drelayn in, half expecting the guard to stop him. It seems the Legion-General Armor was enough to gain entrance without arousing too much suspicion.

After watching for a moment she looks to the man" Why do you want to know? could we help you with something sir?"

"I am but a pilgrim, your friend, Eradrann? He asked me to tell you that you should head to High Hrothgar." Suppressing a wild laugh he looked sincere. Years of lying and an hour of boredom made this more believable than if Eradrann said it himself as boredom fueled him.

Vulgruff

That makes no sense... Thought Vulgruff. There is no way someone climbed the 10,000 steps while I was off the mountain, it's been dark. Could it be he was in High Hrothgar the whole time? It matters not, we are heading up there anyways.

"So, did you come from High Hrothgar?" asked Vulgruff.

Darius
"Of course, I was delivering aid to the Greybeards while on pilgrimage. That was when your friends, Two wood elves, asked me tell you to join them." A smile was on his face once more. "He also said I would receive a reward from you if I did..."

Looking at the man with a raised eyebrow, she looks to Vulgruff" The greybeards?" Looking back at the man she releases the hilt of her weapon"Promised you a rewaard? i doubt he has any money at all. well not much more then myself. And why would he send you?" Standing she places her hands on her hips with a raised eyebrow.

"It appears that you are, though I wouldn't call it early now. 12:00."

"Your story is a load. I've been up since dawn watching for our friends to return. I never saw you. Tell us who you really are, and wipe that smirk of your face before I do it for you" Vulgruff said, getting annoyed with this Imperials games.
