Loyalty or No SV you Are the Daedra

[X] "Excellent idea! Would you like to?"

[X] Find somewhere else to sell our loot, and make sure it is actually a shop attendant we are speaking to this time.
-[X] Check out the prices of armours for everyone, and see if you can get any basic spammable spells with your cut. Basic life detection for preference.
-[X] Broach the prospect of taking on a sneaky-type with Morlia. Mention that one of the best ways to detect enemy sneaky-types is to have some of your own, and that someone with underground connections may be able to use them to give us word on the Brotherhood.
--[X] Concede that having such a person in our employ could give us difficulties in going through official channels, and should thus maybe only be tried if our current plan falls through.
---[X] Tell her that we know of a highly skilled thief called Lucas that might be amenable to helping out, if we ask him.

    • "Selling tickets is an excellent idea, would you like to?" The guard who'd joked about selling tickets to the inevitable and epic battle of wits between you and Freyja raises a hand ready to say something, he thinks better of it a moment later.

    "Yeah... tickets...." He murmurs vaguely. "Oh divines this is really going to happen isn't it?"

    "Oh yes!" You reassure him. He doesn't look particularly reassured.

    On leaving the castle with Morlia and Diana you go to find another shop to sell your loot, properly this time. No getting fooled by thieves or conmen a second time for you! There is, however, one sticky little issue you should probably broach with Morlia sooner rather than later. Like now sooner. It would be better not to have a repeat of meeting Diana if you do decide to recruit Lucas.

    "Soooooo Morlia," you try and sneak up on the question sideways, crab style, hoping that that will somehow make the prospect less fraught with peril.

    "If it's about singing, no. If it's about something only you seem to understand, no." Morlia pauses and you almost get a word in edgeways before she's shooting off again. "Actually, whatever it is, just assume the answer's no."

    "Aw, c'mon. I'm just trying to help with your... our Dark Brotherhood elimination project." You wheedle. Morlia doesn't instantly respond negatively so you press on at speed. "Look, they're all sneaky types, right? Being assassins and all. So I was thinking, the best way to deal with enemy sneaky types is to have one yourself. And, while I would love to fill that role myself... I'm not exactly suited to it." You wave your arms to emphasis your point. The screeching and clanking of crystal sliding against crystal fills the air.

    "He has a point." Diana agrees.

    "And I suppose you just so happen to know a 'sneaky type' around here somewhere." Morlia asks sarcastically.

    "Well actually...." Morlia patented glare bores into your helmet. "Look, it's not just about sneaking around. This hypothetical person, who I may or may not know, would have some contacts in the underworld and, statistically, at least one or two have to lead at least partway towards the Brotherhood."

    "Fast, I appreciate you're trying in your strange way to help," you tilt your helm to one side in what you hope is a skeptical fashion, "I do, but what's to stop whoever you're thinking of turning around and stabbing us in the back? You might not be bothered much by gaping holes through the chest but Diana and I would be greatly inconvenienced by it."

    "She means dead, we'd be very, very dead." Diana adds hurriedly.

    "He understood." Morlia says sharply.

    "Think about it, that's all I'm really saying." You back off the subject for now. You've conveyed the information you intended to convey and anyway a sign just caught your eye. "Say, isn't that the Mages Guild building?" You point to the tall stone construction with the blue sign hanging over the door, pentegram and eye inlaid on the sign in delicate threads of silver. Morlia's shoulders lose the tension that's been building in them for a while. Diana's rise defensively and she takes a step closer to you.

    "Yes, that's the Mages Guild building." Morlia agrees. Good, you were thinking of buying some easily spammable spell to try and train some skills on the rest of the journey to Leyawin.

    "Awesome, let's go have a look inside." You say eagerly. "Don't worry Diana, we'll just buy a couple of spells and skedaddle."

    "Kay." Diana says quietly and sticks to your side like glue.

    You open the door to the mages guild only to find yourself immediately tackled by a young man with a tonsure of brown hair, turquoise mage's robes that are a little too large for him and an expression of rabid curiosity on his face. "I've never seen a daedra like this before! Look at it! The crystals, the spikes, the glow in the eye slits of its helm! Oh the discoveries this could yield!"

    [ ] What do?

    Sooo my shitty laptop is gonna be replaced soon. Yay! But the internet where I am at the moment is terrible and even with a new laptop it shall remain terrible. Not yay. But, overall, my enthusiasm and ability to write should be going way, way up over the next few days. Yay! :lol

    • [X] Before my master summoned and broke me, I was a harbinger of a multi-planar apocalypse. So no samples.
    -[X] However, if you teach me some easily spammable spells, I'll totally do a Q and A with you about a forgotten Deadric god and his minions.

    Actually I didn't quite grasp the magnitude of your complaints.

    I like where NeverDies is going but I feel it could use more arrogance.
    [X] Channel Excalibur. Fool, my mind contains more secrets than I could share with you in a human lifetime
    -[X] If you wish to learn from me, then tell me. How many rocks does it take to destroy a Daedric God?
    --[X] We all know the answer here, right.
    --[X] Partial credit for the answer, One if its large enough.

    [X] Hide behind Morlia
    - [X] "Bad touch, bad touch! I need an adult!"
    - [X] Point out that you were only brought into this world a few days ago and are therefore far to young to be doing the types of things this mage wants to do, the pervert.
     
    [X] I am a Knight of Order, servant of Lord Jyggalag. True understanding could be yours if you embrace Order and become a Priest of Order.

    This mage has the potential assist us. Should he embrace Orders doctrine and become a Priest, an Obelisk could be constructed immediately, thus giving us a way of reviving in the event we are damaged enough to banish us.

    You're still here?
     
    can we recruit the mage too?

    ... yes I want to recruit everyone we find.

    We are trying to take down the dark brotherhood here.
     
    [X] "You know, boyo, some might think you overly forward for grabbing a lady's daedra the moment you meet her."
    -[X] Try to convey that if you had eyebrows, they would be wiggling.
    --[X] Tell him that, with Morlia's permission, you would be willing to give him the rundown on the Daedric prince Jyggalag, the true nature of Sheogorath, and what you can tell him of the Daedra like yourself, as well as let him run certain experiments, in exchange for an amount of spells of other remuneration to be negotiated by one of the others.
    ---[X] Warn him that you will not allow him to make any destructive tests on you, and that anything involving taking samples of you is a terrible idea, as Knights of Order have been used as an invasion vector in the past.
    ----[X] If the deal goes ahead, suggest that Diana, and maybe Morlia if she is not interested, go find some accomodation.


    Not sure on the last bit. Diana feels ill at ease in the mages guild, but sometimes seems to feel safest in our company.

    Skewfiend must be a Reaper! His indoctrination field has swayed my vote!

    Well, no, but I fill in for one every third Tuesday, (And make quite the dashing figure in a cowl and scythe, I might add), although I don't see what that has to do with indoctrination.

    Oh, wait do reapers from Mass Effect have indoctrination fields or something? I keep forgetting that they are a thing.

    Edit: And I'm pretty sure you couldn't kill a Daedric god with a sufficiently energetic mundane rock. "Killed" daedra reform unless you do something to damage or destroy their animus.
