Hello so are you gonna start?

Yeah I'll post right now.


 
I'll post really soon, someone PMd me.


 
Bryant Emirin woke up that morning and decided today would be the day he told Fracots of the journey he wants to go on. He got out of bed and put on his gear and hood. Fracots was in the main area of the thieves guild hideout, sitting down and drinking from a cup. Bryant nervously walked up to him. "What do you need son, does something trouble you?" Fracots asked. They called each other father and son even though they weren't biologically related, but Fracots took him in when he was a child so he is practically his dad.


"Father, I need to go." Bryant said.


"Where too? You know you don't need to ask my permission to leave. you're 24, a man." Fracots said.


"Yeah, but this is different... I won't be home... for a really long time." Bryant said.


"Son, just tell me what it is." Fracots said.


"Ok, I'm going after the staff of boethiah." Bryant finally admitted.


Fractos stood up and put his hand in Bryant's shoulder "yes you may do it. I would tell you how dangerous it is, how hard it'll be, blah blah blah. Your a grown man now and I know you understand all that. So ill get to the point, you may go. Just be careful." He said with a smile on his face. It hurt him to see his son grow up and leave the guild, but he understood, he did a very similar thing when he was Bryant's age, he went out in a grand quest for gold and treasure, but in the end he learned it wasn't really about the treasure. It was about the journey and proving himself.


Bryant had tears in his eyes and hugged his father "I love you dad, I promise I'll return safely."


"I love you too son and I know you will." Fracots said while smiling.


Bryant left the guild hideout and stepped Into the streets of riften. He adjusted his hood, so no guards would recognize his face and arrest him. He walked into the Bee and Barb tavern of riften and Sat at the counter. He ordered a Nordic ale and drank it. He was thinking about the quest while drinking his ale. He knew the quest was dangerous and all but just now he realized he was alone on the quest. The staff is in some ancient temple and it's probably heavily guarded, possibly even by daedra. He would probably need a companion to help him through the quest.

Evelyn finally reached it, she finally reached riften. She had been in search for rumors, legends, anything for money. She smiled as she walked up to the gate.


She had her helment on "excuse me sir." She sighed and took her helment off "I mean ma'm you have to pay 50 coins to get in" one of the gaurds walk up to her.


She laughed lying and started to talk louder. "Really sir I've been here before and Never had to pay. This seems like a scam." This was risky cause she never been here before actullay.


The guard started to whisper "okay ma'm settle down." He tried to make her lower her voice. "We'll make an accepting for you"


"Thank you" she smirked and enter the city. She needed a drink to celebrate. She asked a man on the street who pointed to the bees and the barb. She walked in and walked to the counter.


"I need some mead" she put money on the table and sits next to a man. The argonian waitress handed her a mead. She started to drink it not noticing the man next to her.

Bryant was sitting at the bar counter when he noticed a young woman had taken a seat right next to him. He saw that she kept looking over at him. Perhaps she took a liking to him, or wanted something from him. He turned his head to her and said "hello fair lady, is there anything I could help you with?" He studied her and saw she had on armor, she seemed like the adventuring type, and he did need someone to go on his journey with him, but he wouldn't just ask a stranger after all she could be a bandit. "I see you have on armor and you seem to have weapons, what for?" He asked.

 

[JustSmile]

"To kill anyone who asks qeustions like that" she glared at him. Looking him up and down. Then she laughed "I'm just joking, unless you actullay cause me problems. I was only staring because I was going to ask if you know of any rumors or legends." She drinks more mead. It was her 3rd bottle and it hasn't affected her at all.


"You seem like someone who lived her awhile. So you must know something." She orders another one "or should I ask someone else?"

 

[bingus44]

Bryant laughed at the joke then said "are you trying to manipulate me? By saying or should I Ask someone else?" He said while smiling. "I do happen to know some info about a magical Daedra artifact. Is that intriguing enough for you?" He then put his hand out and said "it's going to cost you though, no not really. So don't stab me." He joked. "I wasn't joking about the artifact though. It has to be worth tens of thousands, it's the staff of boethiah, you know the daedric prince of sorcery and what not. I'm no wizard but I want that staff for the money and I assume you do aswell?"

 

[JustSmile]

She smiled at the idea of thousands of coins She laughed. she was going to get the information and leave this guy in the dust. "So where is this staff located." She smiled sweetly if he didn't tell her she was going to follow him ,and when he reached the staff she would kill him and take it for herself. He knew her plans. She was ready for whatever this guy threw her way. "Pretty please I wanna know"

 

[bingus44]

"Alright it's in the hidden temple at the most western edge of Skyrim near an unmarked location near the area known as Japlet's belly." Bryant said. As soon as he said that he regretted it. Her looks got to him and so did the ale. He thought "damn that was stupid, why did I do that. Now she knows about it. What if she is a bandit? But in the good side she could be a potential partner."


He cursed himself for telling her the location that he spent the last few weeks working to figure out. "Ok so we both know the location, both want gold, both are experienced in combat and adventuring. How about we travel together, I know we are strangers and you may not trust me, but I'm not that stupid, I don't fully trust you either. So how about we both take a risk and journey together. You wont make it alone. Ya'know it's full of ancient evil demons and other terrifying creatures, so in a way you need me." He explained.

She smirk and came closer whispered in his ear seductively "I work alone" she laughs standing up. "and I can face whatever monster is out there" she thought a moment and smiled "I'll travel with you... but for a price. Ill lower my usual price for you, 100 coins. I know the back roads and most of skyrim. It would be truly easier for you. Nevermind Lets make it 150." She smiled. Might as well make as much money as she could "and I get half the profit of the staff."

 

[bingus44]

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. You're the one who needs me" he said smiling. "I can take on any beast, so we can travel together for free as a team and split the staff half and half. You make up your mind, I plan on leaving for the journey tomorrow at 8:00 am, I'm going to rent a room and stay for the night here. You contact me tomorrow If you want to join me." He said while handing the cashier 10 gold for a room. "Feel free to join me in my room." He said with a wink. He knew it wouldn't be that easy, because she was smart. He walked into his room and layed down on the bed.

She watched him walk away with annoyed look on her face. She hated when people attempted to top her. She didn't know what to do. Then she stormed out. She was going to there first. Sleeping wasn't an option. Maybe it was her hot headedness ,but she felt the need to leave. Her heart was pounding. She knew her face was red. She started to travel. She got far out of the city. She decided to rest. She sat down. She probably hadnt ha sleep for 2 days.
