Story of the lost heir
Ok guys this is part 1 of a larger story. Eventually I hope to make a questmod out of it. A big one it will be then. Anyway here you go, have fun reading, just mind I'm not really a writer Wink This started as just a general storyline and not a real story but hey I think it isn't that bad Wink


Thestory starts with a rumor, a rumor about a dungeon, you'll hear this rumor from a shady traveller in a nearby in(Lucian Lachance like script). He gives you 3 landmarks that should pinpoint to a dungeon.

The cave isn't that well hidden and seems deserted. Inside however you'll encounter a trap that seals the door behind you. So you move on into the cave. Then you're attacked by a group of trained Goblins. After you defeated them you start to notice there some rubble from Ayleids around you. Just like the trap that closed the cave entrance. After a room with some nice loot you get attacked again by goblins.

In the next room you see a bed, some shelfs and a weaponrack. Behind the next door are two Aldmer, one is a goblintrainer, the other a mage. between the door and them are three highly trained goblins. After you cleaned the room you find a key on the corpse of the mage.

On the desk on the leftside of the room you find a letter. From the letter you learn the two Aldmer got assosiates. They got plans for the goblins. What those plans are wasn't mentioned though.

In the back of the room you notice an Ayleid door. When you enter you notice you entered an underground Ayleid ruin. Quickly you encounter the next enemy, another Aldmer mage. What are they doing out here? Not much time to worry about that, another goblin ambuch. The deeper you go, the toucher the goblins get. Then you hear voices. Someone is threating to kill another men or mer.

When you enter the room from the shadows you'll see two more Aldmer and a lightskinned man. The man is naked except some pants and wears chains. One of the Aldmer wears some light armor and a small sword. The other wears a robe and carries a big book. During the fight the mer with the blade appears to be a spellsword with deadly skills illusion. The other one is just as deadly, he's a strong spellcaster and the book works as a shield.

When both are dead you move to the man. He thanks you for saving his life. Perhaps you can escort him back to the next town? After you agreed to take him with you he shows you a way out. He grabs they dead spellswords armor and follows you out.

On your way to the city you find out the guy can't find at all, he rather runs away instead of killing the creature. Somehow both of you get to town alive.

In the local tavern a big man suddenly approaches you two. He yells about
owning him money. The guy you saved says he got none. The big man draws a knife and suddenly attacks. After you killed him with a quick slash of your sword you put some pressure on you new "friend". Who was that man and why did he owned him some money? The guy starts to talk.

Apperently his name is Daros Tarterius. He had a rough time a little while a go. With as climax his capture by the Aldmeri goblintrainers. He has no clue why they took him. He thinks you'll be save if we stay out of Bravil. Apperently he had some debts there as well.

The more drinks you buy him the more he talks. He grew up in Skingrad, that was not where his family came from however. They used to be nobles but got exiled for some reason. He didn't know the reason tells you history bores him, he's more intrested in that Breton girl in the back. He continues his story that goes on and on... Apparently he has a brother he lost contact with, his mother died five years ago, when he was nineteen. His brother stayed with him for three months then left him suddenly. he got home from hsi work from the orchards, took his bag and left. Daros waited for him for three weeks then went out to look for a job. When there was nothing for a thin and weak looking kid he left Skingrad. he found work as a alchemist apprentince in Anvil. He learned a bit about healing and alchemy but was send away because he didn't had what it takes to be a good alchemist according to his master. So he went wandering the country for a while, not beeing a stron warrior he quickly learned that he was a fast guy and running his talent. He lived from stealing food from farms and running away from the animals in the woods. At some point he stumbled upon a dead courier. He was delivering a shipment of ore to a smith in Bruma. Daros hadn't had a decent meal for weeks so he took the ore.

He sold it to a shady guy in the Waterfront district in the Imperial City. Soon he was asked to do the guy a favor. pretty soon he was in a mess, started to gable and getting in debt was how he spend his time. Then the Aldmer came and kidnapped him. Suddenly Daros looks you in the eye, "then you rescued me. I can never forget that".

You thank him for the story and tell him you booked you two rooms and tell him good night.

The next morning he says he'll go with you. You seem not to be able to talk him out of it. When you exit the inn he tells you about this supposebly great Ayleid ruin. Should never he looted before because his source never told another soul about it except Daros. You decide you got no better plans and together you head over to the location of the great dungeon of treasure.

End for now Wink

Did you mean Aldmer or Altmer? The Aldmer are pretty much gone, but the Altmer, the high elves, are very much around.

I don't think I've seen your english that bad before. Some parts I had no idea what you were saying.
Lol what?

I'd play that quest.. (that goes as "Great story!")
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Altmer.. Tongue

Not that bad english really.. I can understand all of it.. but there are spelling mistakes for sure..

But I can't see why the tread got that name..
The meaning of life is 'Bucket'.
