The Elder Scrolls: Tales of the Nerevarine

"There are some Septims and a bottle of Flin in that barrel."
Hecate said to nobody in particular, gesturing to the barrel. 
He looked around the courtyard to see if anyone is watching them.(9)

*Hecate sees a tall cobblestone wall surrounding the small courtyard. Other than the equipment they had found, it is empty. There is one other door besides the one they had come from.

"I hope nobody will miss this equipment."
He mutters before walking over to the other door and waiting for the others.

Stowing what gear she has, Ari trots over to the doorway and proceeds to find an armor smith, "Hmm...some repair hammers  should come in handy."

"Or they've left it for us.." Aldarilar said, walking just after Hecate.

When you enter the next building, you find it to be furnished with a table and several bookshelves. Seated at the table was a white stallion dressed in finely crafted Imperial armor inlaid with gold. He took a large bite out of what appeared to be the roasted leg of a bird, then sat it down. He wiped his mouth with a napkin before standing up to greet you all. 

"Hello there. I am Captian Sellus Gravius. I am a Knight-Errant of the Imperial Legion. I was told that you all would be arriving soon," he said warmly. "It is good that you have found the equipment we left out for you," he said, noticing the weapons that the group had claimed. "That saves us some time. If you are ready, I have some orders for you."

"Hmm...." Ari seemed bemused that Imperials would need former/current prisoners for such tasks but for now she would play along, besides the need for actual armor was a legitimate concern for her, besides the horrid food. "Well then what would you have this merry band of misfits do for you?"

Told ya... He said to himself.

"Well, to be honest, I am not quite sure. All I know is that the Emperor, Uriel Septim himself ordered your release. You aren't prisoners, not any longer," he said. "Here, I have a coded package that you all are to deliver to Cassius Cosades in Balmora. That is the extent of your duties as far as I know."

*Quest added: Report to Cassius Cosades

"And if we were to refuse?" Cienele asks.

Ari's green eyes gleamed with interest, "Ahh...curious...where is this Blamora? Highly odd to send random unknowns with important paperwork though."

"Fair enough."

"Is there anything we should know about the local dangers? Bandits, wildlife?"

Aldarilar takes septims. "I still can't understand why The Emperor would even care for us...but I have other question. Do you happen to know or see Processus Vitellius recently? His friend, Socucius Ergalla, said he is missing."

"Well then Ill be needing something besides these shoddy rags...." She makes her way over to the exit. "If everything here means to kill us Id rather face it with proper protection....hmm...wonder if they have any decent Nordic steel..."

Hecate nods slowly.
"Good to know. And, what is a 'siltstrider'?"

"No, thank you."
Hecate stepped outside, looking around for an alchemist's shop and anywhere that would sell clothing.(6)

Ari hesitated for a moment then thought it better not to mention them. 

I will find you! She vowed silently. "Hmmm...any particular factions we should be aware of? For example...scheming royal houses and such??"

"Well, there are the great houses, but I try to not get involved in politics. Besides, they don't have any authority over this town anyways."

*Dalamus sees several buildings situated about the small town. A two story building sits nearby with a wrap-around porch. A sign hanging from the stairs to the porch read "Arille's Trade-House". To one side, there was a large lighthouse, a bright fire lit at the top.

Several ponies walked around the town, going about their business. Three Imperial guards patrolled through the town, keeping watch over the residents. A lone Bosmer sat off to the side, a worried expression on his face as he wrung his hooves together.

Beyond the town, the terrain was marshy swampland, ringed off by tall hills.

She made a mental note of possible House scheming and went off to the general trade house in order to find proper armor.

Aldarilar exited building, where Capitan was, processing what he have heard.
Why I've end up like this...is this my punishment?
He sighed. "Alright..two story building..trade house..." Aldarilar looked at buildings around him, trying to find one, that he needed.
