The Purge of Riften(8/)
The City of Riften, not just the Empire's worst city at the moment, but since the 2nd Era.. There was no major expansion of the city, all new buildings and places were built in the lowerside of the city...
While exploring these parts of the town, I noticed many freshly built alchemy shops, clinics, even houses.. but why they build here, instead expanding the city itself and make homes for people where the rats and trash not common.. they just make the entire place to a big slum..
Solving the corruption is one thing, but this city has way too many issues already...
Anyway, Im here to purge the corruption and the underworld out of this city, after that I can think how to improve more the situation of Riften..
The entrance of the Riften sewers... time to explore it and find out the truth..
The Famous of Sewers of Riften, charming.. Great place to hide secrets and the underworld I seek..
Already two guard, interesting...quite loud ones
Noises: Are you this was a good idea? I know she paid well for us standing guard to target..
Noise: Listen fool, she wore the uniform, she is with them... we can join to them..
Thug: I know, I know, but something is fishy, trust me.. Our target seems a bit "strange" don't you think?
Thug: Stop worrying you dumbass, just because he is armored...
Time to the Purge begin... Maybe start with a small magic trick to suprise them..
Thug: Somebody is behind you!!
Thug: What do you mean? Thats impossible.. we watching the entrance, it just not make any sense.. stop confusing me okay?!!!
Gauis:(sigh)..
Screams of terror....
It seems He is here now... wonderful, the bait did the job well..
He can't just casually walk this bridge, no that wouldn't be fun, lets pull this level..
Lets see and wait... the fun begins(chuckles)..
I should change my way of killing to a more efficient way.
I think the destruction spells should toned down a bit, one big one and the City will have issues...
Could just interrogate them instead of outright killing them(sigh), ohh well there are more for that anyway..
The Sewers of Riften is around since the 2nd Empire, was an imperial expansion due the nordic way of handling of sewage. Not that large as the city, since the main purpose is to keep the crap out of the town and put all of it into the local lake..
Perfect for exiting and entering to the city, smugling and for hide.
Quite old sewers, while functioning well... I should put an improvement and expansion suggestion to that jarl for the sake of the city or...
I should move on, Im getting distracted already.
The brigde is pulled up and there is no way to cross that...
I need jump down and find an other way then..
Sewers ain't big anyway, outside of a mild annoyance, not really big hindrance...
Time to active the detect spells to find people to avoid dead ends and empty places...
There are one sign close to me, I should head there and interrogate that one.. first..
Few behind me, but those are just rats and skeevers, and a few more after the closest thing..
Lets proceed..
I getting closer to that sign... its getting stronger...
I wonder if it a thug, beggar or thief...
Something is strange here, the sign just disappeared...
Curious..
Well regardless, this is the only way I can go, and already a badly made trap..
Underworld seems rather incompetent..but its Skyrim, so no suprise..
An open large room and the owner of the sign is.....
An Gargoyle?
Interesting...
Why is an undead vampiric abomination even here?
How this thing even got here unnoticed?
Temple of Arkay should keep undead away...
I doubt this thing just casually minding itself in the near entrance of the sewers, let alone guard dog of the underworld, unless they work with vampires and necromancer..
Regardless, this isn't a creature one can easily hide without having massive arcane or vampire powers..
But there is no time for questions, time to blast this abomination to the oblivion...
Huh?
My magic not works? I can't cast spells?
Anti-magic runes.. explains why the sign disappeared here..
How irritating...
In that case, I need rely on physical combat..
Its getting closer.. good
Looks more confident seeing I can't use my magic, but..
In the end...
Doesn't matter
Imperial Battlemages are both deadly in physical combat and magical combat..
Im equally a deadly fighter as magister I am..
Anti-magic zone and a Gargoyle, thats rather specific trap against magic users and anyone who can't overpower the creature..
Almost as it it was to mean to someone..
I wonder for who?
It can't be for me, otherwise they would prepare better against me.
Good thing I did not sent Gwynolda to the sewers ....
she could die easily here..
How unexpected..
I underestimated his physical might...
Killing an Gargoyle with one hit... how ridiculous
Is his armour magically enchanted or he just that physically strong?
This is why you not rely on guard dogs to finish the assasination..
There are many far more suited creature for it..
Come here my dear shadows...
Ohh there you are...
Time to move on the next attempt of taking down the Imperator Magus..
Ohhh lets not bother Gwynolda yet, Sybil of Dibella certainly unexpected pressence, but she not gonna cause any issue.. we already have Eliza here..
We going to tremble the Empire and we kill Gauis Magnus for you...
He dies today..
End
