Seofi || 22 || Female || Thieves Guild || Outside of Riften|| Mentions:

Seofi sat cross-legged on the lowest branch of a tree watching deer walk casually in the clearing before her, unaware of her presence. A small sigh passed her lips; she was rather bored and was deciding whether or not she should shoot the deer. Deciding against it, instead she slipped off the tree branch, landing on her feet with a muffled thud despite the heavy armor she donned. Stretching for a moment, she scanned the area for any threats. Riften had gotten awfully quiet - more than usual - and it was starting to annoy her. Perhaps she'd find another job stealing something or other...yeah! That sounded about right. The fiery Khajiit purred with delight at the prospect of stealing. Turning towards the hold, Seofi excitedly bounded off to Riften with lovely gold and jewelry set in mind.

"You tell em." She said.

She kept up with his pace as he brought her into the inn, then took a seat on a chair.

Her eyes began to refocus some as started coming more and more to her senses.
"Thanks. Here." She said, pulling the small bag she was wearing off of around her shoulders and giving the Orc the money she owed.

"Name's Emma. Sorry, I don't think I've ever wandered this far before. Heh." She said.

She was still a little buzzed, but she was starting to feel a bit better. Emma always told herself she wouldn't overdo it at the taverns and inns, but like always, she ended up doing so.
It was also really early for that kind of partying. What was she thinking?

"Anyway, thanks again for that. Appreciate it. Now if only everyone could forget what they saw." She snickered lightly, glad embarrassed.

Mukurz sighed as she sat down and handed him the coin pouch, the poor girl was drunk as ever, "Names Mukurz gro-Bonkor" he said simply as he put the coin pouch in his pocket, "You just need to breathe, you're out of it even for a Nord" he chuckled and sat down in a nearby chair. He looked around at everyone, giving nasty looks to the ones who stared at him too long "What?!" He spat at a old man who gave him a dirty look,

He huffed and leaned back in the chair, ordering himself a drink and a piece of bread for Emma, he handed the bread to her "Here, it'll settle you out" he said as he drank his ale.

Minx ignored Nazir's laughter that followed her down the corridor. She really would have to teach him a lesson one of these days. Maybe she'd give that ridiculous beard of his a little trim or possibly turn it into an elaborate flower braid...

Though she didn't like to admit it, she had kind of missed this place. The familar faces, and smells were a comfort. After all for Minx the guilds are the closest thing she has to a family. She was approached by some of the newer members. Who had a terrible habit of boot licking to say the least.. She certainly never recalled ever being so obedient They almost gave the feel of a fan club. As they greeted her Minx decided to have a little fun.

"You there! Yes you. What do you think you're doing gallivanting about when theres the will of Sithis to be carried out! She bit her lip lightly so as to not smirk at the looks on their faces. "Y-y-y-es sister!"

"I have a job for you she pressed a finger lightly into one of the unfortunate member's chest. He nodded solemnly. Slowly Minx drew her finger back and then pointed it to the member next to him "Cut off her tongue" and then pointing to the third "And you'll cook it up and eat it with a side of grilled leeks" She said in her most serious tone.

Priceless. The looks of horror on their faces were absolutely priceless. She couldn't help herself now. She burst out laughing. "Juuuuusst having you on. Lighten up!" She gave the nearest member a slap on the back before continuing down the corridor still giggling to herself. That definitely lightened her mood.

As soon as Seofi stepped foot in Riften, a courier ran up to her, giving her a letter. She read over the letters slowly as she walked down the steps towards the Ratway. Gates of Oblivion? What was this all about? She shrugged and looked up as she reached the entrance to the Ratway. Giving the paper one last cursory glance, she tossed it aside and slipped down the tunnels towards her destination: the Ragged Flagon.

Upon reaching the Ragged Flagon she greeted her fellow guildmates cheerfully, to which she received a mixture of monotonous responses and dips of various heads. Spotting Delvin Mallory amongst the handful by the bar, she bounced toward him and asked eagerly if there was a job for her. When Delvin answered yes, she flashed a grin. He gave her a fishing job - pocketing Heimskr's amulet - then waved her off, having quite enough of her excitement. Content with her task, Seofi raced out of the Ratway to cast her spell and fast traveled to Whiterun.

NOTICE:

An Oblivion Gate has appeared near Whiterun. Guards from every hold have just received this news and are spreading the word to the city folk.

The guards in Whiterun are currently trying to close it, but are having little luck. Anyone who is brave enough to go and face the plane of Oblivion will be rewarded with Septims.

If you wish to take part in this event, travel to Whiterun.

This is a main event and will include some important plot points.

As you get closer to the gate, you see it's horrifying glow. The air around feels dark and evil, the sky itself goes from blue to blood red.

The inside... Well... You find out.

She took the bread without hesitation, eating it slowly so she wouldn't overwhelm her stomach. Getting food in her system would definitely help.

"I think I may have overdone it this time. Hopefully nobody here will remember me. Serves me right though, I shouldn't have left Solitude." She said with a sigh and soft chuckle.

It was also dumb of her to just show up without any gear whatsoever. What was she thinking? Well she wasn't at all at the time.

"Heh. I suppose drinking beats doing Skooma though. Once you get on that stuff... Man. There's no coming back from that." She joked.

Emma always joked. Sarcasm was her only comfort in the real misery she lived in. Hiding behind a smile and ruthless actions.... Why have it any other way? She would just drink those issues away and hope they'd stay away by morning.

Besides, it was pretty fun. Just then her head turned to the door of the Inn. A guard who seemed uneasy burst into the door, panting in panic. What was going on now?

She could hear the hold's bells ringing like they did in emergencies. Great. Was there a storm or something?

"Everyone. Go home now and stay inside. If you don't live here, you are to stay here in the Inn for shelter." The Guard said.

Emma could hear a few people asking questions, panic stirring up causing the guard to yell at them to just do what they were told...

Screw that. If something was going down, she wanted to be at her own house. But maybe even using the travel spell was dangerous.

"Stay inside and don't leave the city. An Oblivion Gate has appeared near Whiterun. If you know what's best, you'll stay in." And with that the guard left.

Oblivion Gate? A real one? Temptation temptation. She wanted to see for herself, but she knew it'd be dangerous.
"Oh man, I gotta see this." She said with a smirk.

Mukurz was about to make a smart remark when the guard bursted in, an Oblivion gate? He was intrigued, he hadn't heard of such a thing in real life, only in books, he chuckled and stood up, walking to the guard "Look here boy, I'm not afraid of some stupid rumor, now get out of my way, I'm gonna go check this out" he pushed the guard out of the way and headed out the door "Lets see if I remember this" he said as he tried to remember how to use fast travel.


"Ah yes" he said as he said a few words and before long, like a flash he was at Honnigbrew meadery, and he couldn't believe what he saw, it was huge, you could feel the evil coming from it, so much so the sky seemed to turn red, he had to take a few moments before saying "By the gods" he couldn't believe it, it was real... an oblivion gate, "Malacath guide my steel" he said as he drew his greatsword and with a evil smile, began to walk towards the giant gate, he almost shuddered at the thought of the glorious battle before him, he had'nt killed anything in a while and just imagine what there was to slaughter in that gate.

Minx|| Early 20's || Female ||Past: Thieves Guild Current: Dark Brotherhood ||Dawnstar. Dark Brotherhood sanctuary|| Mentions:

Minx's intentions had been to visit Cicero, but an interesting conversation she could hear had caught her attention. "Did you hear the news? They say there's an oblivion gate has appeared near Whiterun! Everywhere's on lock down.." "Pffft. Nonsense!"

She wriggled impatiently. An oblivion gate? Surely they wouldn't lock down over pure rumour alone. Minx was a curious being, which sometimes lead to reward, and other times nothing but trouble. She momentarily tossed up her choices knowing what the others would say if she so asked. She grinned a sly grin, befitting of her name as she cast the fast travel to Whiterun.

Once she arrived there, it not even the slightest challenge for the light footed assassin to slip out unnoticed. Boy everyone really was in a panic how amusing. She wondered if Ulfric would show his face in this supposed new threat in Skyrim. Probably not. She stood beyond the walls, scanning for this supposed mystical gate that was supposedly locked away hundreds of years ago. As far as she was aware their was not a drop of Septim blood to be found.. anywhere. She could see it now. The dark clouds rolling in, crackling with ancient dark magic. She smiled to herself. How ever so interesting!

Emma || 20 || Female || Dark Brotherhood || Outside of Oblivion Gate || Mentions: Murkurz


Emma quickly cast the quick travel spell to get home, eager to see if this phenomenon was real or not? It had to be! Why else would there be such mayhem about?

Once in Solitude, she rushed home equipping her gear; her nightingale armor, her favorite daggers, and of course her crossbow. She slung her bag around her back, preparing to travel to Whiterun.

Man, this would be a hard thing to do while still intoxicated. She was beginning to sober up for the most part. Hopefully she'd be okay.
Before she left, she made sure the cowl covered her face, sealing her identity as Emma and becoming Shadowblade.

....

She arrived, seeing Murkurz once more, but of course, acting a stranger to protect who she was. It wasn't like the guards knew what she looked like. All they about was the "S" she carved into her victims. She probably looked like any other nightingale.

But the gate itself... Wow. She had never thought she'd see such a thing. It was horrifying yet it filled her with excitement. The Daedra inside would prove challenging though.

The air was thick and the sound of thunder made her heart race. She only knew what she had read in books.
The inside of Oblivion was hell. The only way to close them was to take the "Sigil Stone", whatever that was. There was lava, the sky was blood red and there were tall black towers, but she wanted to see this for herself...

The guards were shouting at her to be careful and what not. Wusses.

She approached the Orc again, greeting him a bit different this time.
"See you on the other side." She said, walking forward into the hell that awaited.


Maiko || 26 || Male || Guard/Stormcloak || Outside Oblivion Gate || Mentions: Emma, Murkurz


He couldn't believe his eyes. Maiko had only read about these horrible atrocities, but never did he think he'd actually see one for himself!
The white Khajiit grinded his teeth at the thought of going in there, but the city needed him.

"I'll be going in." He said to the other guards.

If anyone knew what to do, he did. He had only read about it, hopefully he would be able to carry it out in real life.

"You two! Wait up. You musn't go in alone. This one will be going in there as well." He said to the Orc and Nord woman, walking past him and heading straight for the gate.

Mukurz gave a slight chuckle to the guards as they shouted, don't they know he's a orc? Orcs fear nothing, he held his head high "You weaklings!" He shouted "I'm going in there before this gods forsaken city gets pillaged" he began to walk to it when a dark cloaked woman spoke to him, then disappeared into the gate, "Perfect" he said with a smile. He ignored the Khajiit as he spoke walking proudly into the gate.


He entered the gate and was shocked to see the hell before him, lava and fire everywhere, huge buildings strung out, he was amazed, he was excited, he saw the cloaked woman rushing in the other dirrection, "What the hell?" He said out loud as he ran in her dirrection, before he could catch up a pack of hideous little demons(scamps) tried flanking him, he struck one with his sword and it fell, not befor the others began to hit him and try to strike fire at him, he swung his blade with great force hitting the little demons one by one, they were pretty resilient, "You call this a fight?!" He growled as he tried to finish off the last of them.

She watched as others gathered. An orc and by the looks of it a nightingale. Huh. Guess Skyrim wasn't full of cowards after all.. But maybe. Just maybe it was full of fools. She smiled to herself.

Her eyes widened like that of a child who's just been handed a basket full of kittens as she spotted a fluffy white khajit. Minx loved Khajiits. Now and then she would help escort the travelling traders safely through skyrim. Even going as far to retrieve a stolen amulet for one of them. They were just so fluffy she couldn't help herself. The traders were well used to Minx's tendencies to touch their fur. Hmmm. "Looks like they might start the party without me" She leapt lightly to her feet and went prancing towards the gate.

"Here comes the welcoming committee" She says with a laugh, drawing a dagger and summoning her flame atronauch. For now there was a bigger threat than all the fact they all walked different parts. She had no doubts she could escape if she so needed.

Emma stopped when she saw Murkurz being attacked. Damn. This realm really was chaotic. The red sky sent chills down her spine and the thunder made her jump.
For the first time in forever, she was frightened, but she couldn't just leave. She didn't want to look like a fool.

The little demons were weak, but in a group they proved challenging. She equipped her crossbow, circling around and firing at their backs. Once she got close enough, she then equipped her Daedric daggers, slashing about and keeping her guard up, unknowingly back to back with Murkurz and the other Nord woman.

A white Khajiit then intervened, bashing the little demons with his shield.


Maiko || 26 || Male || Guard/Stormcloak || Oblivion || Mentions: Emma, Murkurz, Minx


He grunted in irritation. Didn't they know what they were getting into?
Maiko rushed in, seeing that the two Nord women and Orc were already being attacked by what he knew as Scamps.

He charged in, dealing a blow to the little demons.

"Damn Scamps. Listen, I know this is all very exciting, but we need to put our prides aside for a moment." He said to them both as he swung his sword at the scamps.
"It's good that you can handle yourselves in a fight, but this isn't just any normal enemy we are dealing with. I've done enough research to be familiar with what we'll see in here, but I still don't know what to expect. Will you come with me? This gate needs to be closed as soon as possible." He said.

He pointed to a tall tower that resided on top of a rock structure with his sword for a moment. A flame burned at the top. That was where they needed to go. The source of that light was the Sigil Stone. It needed to be removed.

Mukurz was shocked as everyone helped him, though he didn't need it. He heard the cats words and listened a bit, he tried to shrug it off, but he was getting a bit annoyed "Look here, whatever your name is," he said as he rested his greatsword on his shoulder "The legends say only one man took this thing down," he waved his hand "I'm sure I can handle this and yes it is fun" he chuckled "This is the most fun I've had in years" he sighed looking around at everyone.

"How could you possibly help?" He glared at him, he wasn't much for being told what to do, he stared him down, waiting for an answer, "Really all you can do is tell me how to close it and I'll do it myself, I don't give a skeevers ass about the gold" he chuckled "I want to fight and there seems to be plenty of things here to fight"

Raspoaai || 24 || Female, Khajiit || Dark Brotherhood, Nightingales || Markarth > Whiterun || Mentions: Murkurz, Minx, Mai'ko, Emma

Raspoaai watched as the two stumbled off, and she rolled her eyes lightly, sighing softly. People these days. It reminded her of when the khajiits she knew were addicted to skooma. She hated that shit, and wanted nothing to do with it. She turned around and headed back out of the city, deciding to go for a walk to clear her head. Of course, that didn't work.

As soon as she had headed out, she could hear the sounds of people panicking, almost as if a damn dragon had landed in the middle of the city the moment she walked out. She turned to see a guard trying to rush past, and she whipped around, grabbing his shoulder, her tail lashing furiously. "What the hell is happening?" She demanded.

He gave her a dirty look, his lip curling, and shrugged her hand off. "Oblivion Gate's opened in Whiterun. Now be on your way, cat." He snapped, spitting on the ground at her feet. She watched him walk away, astonished at how calm he could be. To be honest, the thought of one of those terrified her, but she knew she needed to help. She whipped up her other hand, quickly casting a spell to fast travel to Whiterun, and appeared at the entrance.

She stiffened up a little as the Gate appeared before her, the hairs on the back of her neck rising. She could see what appeared to be a Nightingale, an orc, a Nord, and a white khajiit running inside, and she shuddered, watching them go. Raspoaai hardly ever became so terrified, but now, she was truly scared. She summoned up all her courage and followed the group, heading into the gate.

She ran up to one of the scamps, stabbing it with one of her knives and hissed loudly, her tail lashing. All her fear had ebbed away in the heat of battle, and she was determined to help the others. She quickly began to focus her attention on the other khajiit, as he seemed to know what he was doing. She looked up at the tower he was pointing to, studying it, as she remembered what she knew from the old stories, and how they would need to deal with this.
