Private Salhxi-Diestra

[MR-WIKI-96]

Vincent was tired of being caught and having no backup or help. So Vincent decided to join a group instead of staying rogue. He thought, Man, I'll miss being on my own, but a group is better than one they say. He heads to the town of Falkreath. The town mentioned in the conversation between the two gentleman at the Kynesgrove inn, who spoke about a mysterious group of thieves living there. Dammit! I forgot to get my sister a gift. Vincent then decides to make a quickstop in Riften. Vincent enters the gloomy, damp city of Riften with a cringed look. What a craphole! He then walks over to the stalls and see's one with nice jewelry. Hello, I see you are interested in my fine crafted jewelry. Says the Argonian behind the stall. Yes, I would like the garnet silver necklace please. Replied Vincent. I should better buy this instead of stealing it, I can't risk getting caught, I haven't joined that group yet. Vincent hands the small bag of gold to the Merchant and then turns around to get a look at his newly bought item. Mirie is going to love this. At that point Vincent gets bumped into by someone. Hey, watch it! But then Vincent accidently drops the necklace into the well in the middle of the courtyard of stalls. Dammit! I better head down there and retrieve it. Vincent heads down to the door which leads to, what the locals call, "The Ratway". Its just a sewer, I wonder why they make such a big deal out of it.

Eliminating the Tiger of Kamal's guards? Gee sounds hard.... yeah right. I set off towards the armory to dress as a City Guard. This will be the first part of my plot.

After leaving his comrade to finish the job in the Ratways, Jacoby took off the Thieve's Guild outfit upon exiting the secret entrance. He hoped the guards would be of help to his plan, but as always, they weren't good for anything. "You're a guard right? Well do your damn job and hear me out!" The guards didn't know what Jacoby had been doing in the city, but they knew he was certainly up to something. "Shut it, Pneulon. We've seen you snooping around town this whole entire day, and you expect us to accept your bribe just like that. You're infamous in other holds if I'm not mistaken, something about selling illegal wares? You're lucky I don't lock you up right here and now." Jacoby let out a deep sigh and walked away, now regretting not having killed Vex when he had the chance. He held his head down and accidentally bumped into someone. "Hey, watch where you..." The man was a well-dressed Khajiit. If anything, this provided opportunity. "Hey buddy, you wouldn't happen to be quite the smooth talker, would you?"

 

[Nightingale Khajiit]

"Depends, would you happen to be Jacoby Pneulon, seller of illegal goods, and a well know graverobber? If so then yes, Dar'arjo might be of some use to you...what is it you need dunmer?." Said Dar'arjo while keeping his eye on the guards behind Jacoby, who were eyeing him curiously.

 

[MR-WIKI-96]

Vincent made his way through the dump that is the Ratways. Never thought I would be trudging through mud for a piece of jewelry. Vincent had to go through rooms with many different possessions inside them: One had a grindstone and blacksmith bench. One had a cutting table and cooking pot and one seemed to have furniture, as if it was a home. Vincent got to a door that led to a bar. A bar in the middle of a sewer! At least it wasn't unoriginal he thought. Vincent then saw, with shock, dead bodies in the water in the middle of the bar-cistern. By the gods... Vincent uttered to himself. What was more shocking to him was that they were wearing clothes similar to his. Before Vincent could think about it, he saw a redguard woman standing at the bar. Who the oblivion is this? Vincent thought while keeping his magic at the ready.

 

[The_Madgod]

Selia had run back down to the Ratway, wanting to speak with Vekel the Man. She'd heard he made a special drink. She intended to use it to make a target so drunk he would become her friend in an instant, and ignore her puns. She looked around but couldn't find anyone. She turned and noticed a Breton man blocking the other entrance. "Hello! Are you here for the Riften Thieves Guild? As you can see, the other, better Thieves Guild has pretty much eliminated them! Shocked, are you? You thought by our name we only stole? That's so if we're they won't consider us murderers. Oh, I'm not letting you speak. I do that. Ok, speak. Just know that if you say the wrong thing, my dagger will be the last thing you'll ever see!", said the Redguard with a smile. She started juggling three daggers and giggled.

 

[MR-WIKI-96]

Huh, so you're THE thieves guild, I thought you guys had a place in Falkreath Vincent replied, keeping his magic at the ready. I better be on my guard, this woman looks like she gets her jollies out killing, Vincent suspected.

 

[The_Madgod]

"Oh, we do. We're here on... Business? Nevertheless, I'd stop preparing spells. They won't help you much, thief. What are you down here for, anyway? Wanted some of the Ragged Flagons legendary wine? Wanted to join up with one of the Guilds? Your expressions are harder to read then that Argonian Hides-His-Knives! All I've gathered is that you're a thief.", said Selia curiously. She stopped juggling and instead picked up a bow from the counter, sticking all three of her knives into it and pulling it back, aiming at the Breton.

 

[Snoball]

That evil grin lit up on his face once more. He knew how well Khajiits were with making deals and discussions about coin. With the guard still looking at him from the corner of his eye, Jacoby spoke as quick and softly as possible. "Well Dar'arjo, it looks like we're on the same page then. I need that guard over there to to talk to the Jarl about a Thieve's Guild member headed out of town to Windhelm. If she listens, she'll send a group of men to ambush the thief at Shor's Stone. I don't care what you do, sweet talk him, make him feel good about himself, strike a deal with him, whatever you can do to get him to tattle." Jacoby then remebered the items he picked off the dead Guild members. "But if you do make a deal with him, I promise your expenses will be covered by the former Thieve's Guild, hehehe."

Meanwhile, outside at Riften's stables, a young woman with black braided hair and fine clothing had just saddled up Morgue. It had been about a day after receiving Jacoby's letter, but Olyviah had finally arrived at Riften. With the lack of guards due to many being killed at the gate recently, she easily walked into the city, and immediately headed for the Ratways to check and see if the New Guild had already seized it.

 

[MR-WIKI-96]

Vincent became more cautious now, it wasn't the first someone threatened him and it certainly won't be his last. Well you are right. I am a thief, and I'm also a bit of a mage. You could use someone like me and as from the looks of your uniform and "charming" personality, you run the ropes around here. And I'm also looking for something that I dropped down the well from up above. It's the reason I found this place. Vincent and the redguard still kept looking at each like a showdown.

 

[The_Madgod]

The Redguard looked down into her hands. "Would it happen to be this necklace? If so, here.", she said, tossing him the jewelry. "I don't run the ropes when it comes to recruiting, that would be J'Saga-Jo, but I can recommend people. I can't recruit people because, if you haven't noticed, I'm yakpl*ps insane!", she said as she began to do a little jig. "If you want in, then I suggest you do something for me. I need you to steal everything in the secret room above the Jarls Palace. If you can do that, I'll put a good word in for you, as will Pneulon, Thorn, Verlok, Hides, and a couple others. Now, we'll most likely be either down here or in the house known as Honeyside. Now, if you don't mind, a friend of mine was supposed to be here today!", she said as she sommersaulted back into the cistern. She climbed up the secret entrance and ran to the front gates, hoping to meet Olyviah.

 

[MR-WIKI-96]

Vincent bent down to pick up his sisters birthday necklace. What a strange lass. Vincent thought as he came back up from the ground, placing the jewelry in his pocket. Vincent decided to get a drink from the bartender before heading up to the jarls palace. One bottle of ale please. Requested Vincent. The bartender hands him the drink as if nothing had happened 5 minutes before. He probably sees stuff like that all the time. Vincent thought. I should probably, after my drink, get going. That palace ain't going to rob itself and I need the perks and backup that the guild has got, even if they are mostly a group of murdering psychos. Vincent chugged down his drink, like a nord with mead, paid the bartender and headed up above for his test to prove his worth. I know I'm a good thief, but I'm going to prove it to them.

 

[TheDovahkiin]

I sneak into the armory and slit a guards throat. I put on his outfit over my Nightingale uniform and head out into the colony, looking for any wary looking armed-to-the-teeth morons for me to sweet talk. I see a well dressed noble and engage in a conversation about the Tiger of Kamal. He tells me the Tiger is in the main palace, and I slip a few septims into his pocket in exchange for the best way to sneak in. Then I slit his throat. Loose ends and all that great stuff.

 

[Seanu Reaves]

He kills a lot, Hides thought as he listened to the rumors revolving around the colony, but he still is efficient hasn't even been spotted. He jotted down more notes of how his newest poison was effecting these men. He turned to his newset patient, as he checked the pulse he realized this one had already exspired. Wonder how the boss is doing. Murdering people most likely, Hides sighed and waited for the news of the dictator's demise.

 

[Snoball]

"Hmmm, where in Oblivion is that crazy elf?" Olyviah was headed toward into the sewers before she saw a familiar woman in the distance. "Selia!" She smiled and waved to the approaching Redguard, giving a light hug to her old-time friend. "Wait, you wouldn't happen to be the one running the new Guild, would you?" Olyviah was well aware of Selia's insanity, so she knew their had to be someone more sane leading the pack. Though reluctant at first, she was willing to aid them in what way she can. Unlike most of the new members, she wasn't insane, a trained killer, or a skilled merchant, but she still somehow worked well with them, probably because most of the people she hangs out with on a daily basis are insane as well.

 

[The_Madgod]

"No, I'm not. I'm the top field agent, and strategist, though J'Saga-Jo has risen above me. Probably better for our organization, anyway. We've nearly destroyed the Thieves Guild. Jacoby and a possible recruit are tying up the loose ends, Brynjolf, Vex and maybe a few others. Would you like to see? Or would you prefer to meet Jacoby? He should be by the prison.", said Selia gleefully. She took out a knife, turned, and stabbed a thief who had been trying to pickpocket her in the eye. "Never steal from those more skilled than you!", said Selia as she wagged her finger at him. She drew her sword and cut the mans hands off. "Get out of my sight, rat!", she said, suddenly turning angry. She turned back and put a smile on her face. "So, what would you like to see first?"

 

[Snoball]

"Ah, as crazy as ever, Selia." She gave her a light smile before turning her head to see the prison in the distance. "Jake's probably handling himself well, hopefully. I'll catch up to him in a bit, if anything. For now, where's this party taking place? I have some stuff I have to put down before I save him from getting himself in any serious trouble, as always." With a small giggle, she looked back at her eccentric ally.

 

[The_Madgod]

"Right now we're in a house called Honeyside, though we should be moving to the Ratway. Eventually we'll build a tunnel between the two. I wonder if we could do that all over Skyrim, connecting Hjerim, Proudspire, Vindrel, Honeyside, Breezehome, the Ratway and all our other locations together... Like a giant anthill!", said Selia. She broke into a fit of laughter and then immediately became stern. "This way.", she said seriously. She cast a simple illusion spell that would make the two of them appear to be guards and walked towards Honeyside.

 

[TheDovahkiin]

Big colony. But it won't be hard to get to the palace, there normally pretty big. Well these guards are pretty nice, giving me directions to my victim and what not. I finally reach the palace doors, then I strip off my guard outfit and put fine clothes on. Got my fake invite to the feast? Check. I walk in and show everyone my invite then sit down. I ready myself to cast Bound Bow. years of training have allowed myself to easily cast silently. I see the scum. at the front of the table no? I cast Bound Bow with my hands below the table and go over my escape plan. Finally............ I shoot. Pandemonium ensues, no one suspects the poor ickle Argonian to be a danger. Doesn't stop me from making dual bound War Axes and hacking away at everything I see. Finally, Everyone lies dead at my feet. I get rid of my Fine Clothes and jump clear out the window, into a nice deep well. After crawling back out I blend with the shadows, and head back towards Hides to report that the Tiger of Kamal is dead. ((OOC Who am I hunting? Tiger of Kamal or the Tscaei dictator?))

 

[MR-WIKI-96]

Vincent entered Mistveil Keep and saw the mighty hall of Jarl Laila-Law-Giver. I should take a look around and see where that secret room is, Vincent thought. He took a look around, the ground floor was fine and legal. But going up to the Jarls quarters without a guard escort was, for obvious reasons, illegal. Vincent saw the stairs leading to the upstairs bedrooms being blocked by a guard. A bit of illusion magic might work here. Vincent put a fear spell in his right hand then hid behind some boxes near the stairs. I think it's time this guard faced his fears. Vincent then fired the spell at the guard causing the distraction to come in place. By Talos! The Spiders are here! They are everywhere! Nooooo! They are trying too eat me! Shouted the guard as he runs around the room thinking that spiders are eating him. While the people are distracted, by what they think is a crazy man, Vincent sneaks upstairs to what seems to be a deserted floor. I should check the Jarls bedroom first because it seems to be the logi- Before Vincent could finish the sentence in his head. He saw a man and a woman come out of one of the rooms. Vincent dived into the room next to him, just before he could be seen. Well that was fun. Said the man teasing at the woman. Well of course, you really know how to please a woman, Harrald. Harrald!? Thats the Jarls son! Why of course I can, my mother never uses her bedroom anyway. Said Harrald while giving a chuckle. We should go check what the commotion was downstairs. They head downstairs while Vincent gives a sick look. In his parents bedroom thats disgusting! As long as they are gone, I can continue. Vincent exits the room he was hiding in and then heads to the Jarls bedroom. Vincent opens the bedroom door to a double, untidy bed with many books, wardrobes and silverware around the room. You can tell someone rich lives here. Vincent looks around and sees the messy bed sheets on the double bed. I really hope that the secret room is not behind the bed. Hopefully thought Vincent, as he tries to avoid the "disgraced" bed. Vincent decided to check if any of the walls were hollow. He knocked on each one until he discovered that the wall near one of the wardrobes was hollow. This is it! Now where is the door. Vincent opened the wardrobe near the hollow wall and gave the back panel a little push. I think this should do trick. He thought. Then the door slides open to reveal a small room full of jewelry, coin purses, rare weapons and armor and even a small golden Dibella statue. Vincent walks in and utters to himself, Now it's time to do a little "borrowing".
