Nara: "At last...home, sweet home! Nothing beats coming back to a cold, damp fort after a hard day..."

 

 

Nara: "Ugh....what am I doing living in a place like this? I guess life never really works out the way you imagined it would...."

 

 

Nara: "...Isn't that right, Mr Fisherman? I hope you've been looking after us while I was away - keeping trespassers from our door."

 

 

Sam: "Nara! You're back at last!"

 

 

Nara: "-SIGH- Oh great....does this guy just wait all day for me when I'm out or somthing?!"

 

 

Sam: "Nara! I was waiting all day for you while you were out. Is everything okay? You were gone a long time..."

 

 

Nara: "Yeah, I kinda got held up. I ran into some members of the Dark Brotherhood and.....well.....the conversation was electrifying!"

 

 

Sam: "I see. Hey...I was wondering....did you get a chance to think about my idea? Y'know....about the two of us going out for a picnic or something.....away from all the others?"

 

 

Nara: "Oh right....that. Y'know I've just been so busy lately. And picnics aren't really my thing..... Hey, where are all the others anyway?"

 

 

Sam: "Actually that's another thing I wanted to talk to you about. Byron is gathering everyone together. He says he's gonna perform a ritual to grant us all some kind of amazing power! I thought you should know."

 

 

Nara: "Amazing power?! Turn us all into vampires is probably closer to the truth. I've never trusted that slimey bloodsucker..."

 

 

Sam: "I know you haven't always seen eye-to-eye with Byron, but he's not that bad. Also - I don't get why you keep calling him a vampire?!"

 

 

Nara: "I call him a vampire because he IS a vampire, you idiot! A mudcrab could tell you that! Am I actually the only one whose mind he hasn't been able to cloud?"

 

 

Nara: "Speaking of which....looks like we found the party...."

 

 

Byron: "Nara, darling - you have returned! So nice of you to grace us with your beautiful frown! We were just about to get started. "

 

 

Byron: "Being the generous teacher that I am, I have decided to share the source of my power with you all. After this short - and relatively painless - ritual, you will all possess powers beyond your wildest dreams! Doesn't that sound great?"

 

 

Nara: "Indeed it does. However right now the feel of a pillow against my face sounds infinitely better - so I'm going to have to pass."

 

 

Byron: "I'm sorry to hear that, child. But as you wish. Sweet dreams, my dear.....sweet dreams."

 

 

Necromancer: "What are you doing, Nara? Byron is about to use some kind of magic to turn us into gods! You'll just walk away from that?!"

 

 

Nara: "If you guys are too stupid to see what's really going on, then I have no sympathy for you. Sam, I'm going for a nap. If you are all vampires when I wake up, don't worry - I'll kill you first! Later...."

 

 

Byron: "Let her go, children. It leaves more power for the rest of us! Now.....let us begin......"

Durak: "It looks like our sources were correct once again, Celann..."

 

 

Durak: ".....A master vampire about to turn a group of spellcasters into his blood-sucking minions! And it looks like we got here not a moment too soon! Well, in about ten minutes they'll all be wormfood."

 

 

Celann: "Hang on a second - we're just here to kill the vampire, right? The mages are not part of our job, surely we can let them live?"

 

 

Durak: "Boy, you're still relatively new at this game - so i'm gonna spell this out nice and slow for you. The people in that room are not mages. They are necromancers - wielders of the dark arts. They may not be vampires yet, but they are just as bad - and we are going to kill every last one of them. Understood?"

Celann: "I.......um........yes. Understood."

 

 

Nara: "At last - some privacy!"

 

 

Nara: "Why I stick around with these idiots, I'll never know. There's not a single brain cell between them! Okay...so maybe Sam is not so bad. He's kinda cute actually....in the same way an idiot dog is kinda cute! Anyway, time to take these clothes off and get some rest..."

 

 

Nara: "YAWN! Hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep without somebody fucking things up!"

 

 

Durak: "Alright, boy. Let's fuck things up!"

 

To be continued......

Durak: "Okay - Let's do this! Remember: move quickly, choose a target, strike fast."

 

 

Durak: "I'll take the Master Vampire, you keep the rest busy."

Celann: "Leave it to me..."

 

 

Byron: "Eh, good evening gentlemen. Is there something I can do for you?"

 

 

Durak: "Oh there's something you can do for me, alright. Let me introduce you to my little friend!"

 

 

Male Necromancer: "Hey! Who are those guys?! They're interrupting our ritual!"

 

 

Celann: "Everyone relax - we don't mean you any harm! We're just here for the Vampire. We want to HELP you!"

 

 

Sam: ***Wait...did he say "Vampire"? Could it be true? Was Nara right all along?***

 

 

Male Necromancer: "What are you talking about?! There are no vampires here. Now LEAVE!"

 

 

Female Necromancer: "Oh my! What is that Orc doing to Byron?!"

 

 

Durak: "HRAAAAGH! Take THAT Vampire scum!"

Byron: "AAAAARRGGGHHHHHH-------------"

 

 

Male Necromancer: "You lying BASTARDS! You're here to raid us!"

 

 

Sam: "This is very bad - I've got to warn Nara immediately!"

 

 

Male Necromancer: "This fort will be your grave. EVERYONE - RIP THESE BANDITS APART!"

 

 

Celann: "Oh crap.....!"

 

 

Sam: ***They're gonna tear each other apart back there! If I know Nara, her cat-like instincts have alerted her to the danger and she's probably already geared for a fight!***

 

 

Nara: "ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz...."

 

 

Sam: "Hey Nara....are you in there? It's me, Sam. Nara - this is important!"

 

 

Nara: "Uuuugh........Sam? iIs that you? -YAWN- You've got about 3 seconds to explain why you are waking me before I open that door and fry you to a crisp!"

 

 

Sam: "Oh....um.....well - it's kinda an emergency! Can I please come in and expla---"

 

 

Nara: "No you may NOT come in! I'm completely naked! Can't this emergency wait till later?!"

 

 

Sam: "Well...um....some strange people have suddenly arrived. They've killed Byron and I'm pretty sure a war is breaking out right now in the main chamb - HANG ON - did you say COMPLETELY NAKED?!?!"

 

 

Male Necromancer: "DIE, YOU LYING BANDIT SCUM!"

 

 

Celann: "Guys, please! We're not bandits and I don't want to fight you! Please listen...."

 

 

Durak: "What in Oblivion are you doing over there, boy?! I said keep them busy - not dance for them!"

 

 

Celann: "Sorry, Durak. It's just...I was trying to explain that...."

Durak: "Damn you, Celann! Didn't I tell you that we are not here to reason with these necromancers?!"

 

 

Durak: "These are dark, EVIL people. Ack, never send a boy to do a man's job. Stand back Celann, you idiot - and watch how an Orc deals with spellcasters....."

 

To be continued........

Celann: "Durak...wait! This is madness! What are you going to do?!"

 

 

Durak: "Quiet, boy. You had your chance. Now it's MY turn."

 

 

Durak: "Time to make some friends..."

 

 

Necromancer: "Brothers and sisters - this is what we have trained for. PREPARE YOURSELVES!"

 

 

Durak: "Ain't no preparing for THIS, scumbag!"

 

 

TWACK!

Celann: "No.....this is all wrong...."

 

 

Sam: "Oh no! Nara, I can hear them fighting....what should we do?!"

 

 

Nara: "Calm down! Now tell me - who exactly are these intruders? What do they look like?"

 

 

Sam: "Well....it's hard to say. One is an Orc. The other....i'm not sure. Maybe a Breton. They are well equipped, lots of armor. And they're carrying axes with strange markings. I've never seen their type before..."

 

 

Nara: "Hmmm, some kind of well-financed bandit group perhaps? But why would bandits attack us? Don't they know they won't last five seconds against a group of necromancers?"

 

 

Necromancer: "By the gods! We didn't last five seconds..."

 

 

Necromancer: "...what in Oblivion ARE you? And why won't you DIE?!"

 

 

Durak: "I guess I'm just too old and stubborn to fall at the hands of idiots like you. Now get that magic...."

 

 

Durak: "...out of my face! HURRAGHHH!"

 

 

Durak: "Now. It's done. See, boy - vampire hunting doesn't have to be so difficult?"

 

 

Celann: "This isn't vampire hunting. This is a massacre..."

 

 

Celann: "Necromancers or not, there had to be another way. You cut them down like grass. They never stood a chance. And now they're all dead."

 

 

Durak: "Hey! Watch your mouth, boy. You asked for this job, remember? Well this is it. This is the job. Don't wimp out on me now."

 

 

Durak: "Not everyone is cut out to do what we do. If you don't have the stomach for this work, I'll go find someone who does."

 

 

Durak: "Wait....what's that sound? Voices! Looks like we got a few stragglers."

 

 

Durak: "Sounds like it's coming from the other end of this hallway. Get your shit together, Celann. We're not done yet. Let's go!"

 

 

Celann: "Sure......whatever you say......"

 

 

Sam: "Footsteps! Nara, I hear heavy boots coming down the hallway towards us...it's them!"

 

 

Sam: "Stay in that room. Don't worry, Nara - I'll protect you!"

 

 

Nara: "You'll protect me?! Sam...please. You couldn't protect yourself from a butterfly! -SIGH- Give me a second...I'm coming out. Let me just find my clothes...."

 

 

Durak: "HA! There you are, sneaky little spellcaster! Thought you could hide from us?"

 

 

Durak: "Hmmm, why are you guarding that room? What's behind that door?"

Sam: "I'm warning you, Bandit......"

 

 

Sam: "....don't come any closer. I'll protect this room with my life!"

 

 

To be concluded...

Durak: "You'll defend that door with your life, eh? Then I guess that's what it's gonna cost you! HRAGHHHH!!!"

Sam: "Not so fast, Orc!"

 

 

Durak: "What manner of witchcraft is this?! Some kind of barrier?! I should have expected as much from a cowardly necromancer!"

 

 

Sam: "I told you - you are NOT getting into that room!"

 

 

Durak: "We'll see about that. Celann you worthless piece of meat - get over here and help me. Together we can break through his shield..."

 

 

Celann: "No. I won't do it. There's been enough bloodshed this day. Durak, let's just get out of here..."

 

 

Durak: "You are truly useless, Celann! Fine. I don't need your help. I haven't yet come across a wall I couldn't smash..."

 

 

Durak: "...and that's NOT gonna change today! WRAGHHHH!"

Sam: "AARGHHH!"

 

 

Sam: "Forgive me.....Nara..........I've failed you.........................."

Celann: "What have we done?"

 

 

Durak: "Now we can find out what he was hiding in this room."

Celann: "Whatever it is, he thought it important enough to sacrifice his life to protect."

 

 

Durak: "There's no telling what's behind this door. Get ready. We open on the count of three..."

 

 

Nara: "Sam....are you there?!"

Durak: "One.......Two.........."

 

 

Durak: "THREE! GO, GO, GO!!"

 

 

Durak: "What the........."

Celann: "Well I didn't expect THAT!"

 

 

Nara: "Who....."

 

 

Nara: ".......the FUCK......."

 

 

Nara: "......are you two jokers?!"

 

 

Durak: "Hmph. Looks like we got ourselves a real charmer here!"

Celann: "Well....I suppose this KINDA explains things....."

 

 

Nara: "What do you assholes want?! You better start talking, RIGHT NOW!"

 

 

Durak: "I'm gonna go clear out our escape route and make sure there aren't any more necromancers left alive. You take care of this girl."

 

 

Durak: "You have disappointed me today, boy. This is your last shot at redemption. Don't mess it up."

Celann: "Don't worry...I'll handle it."

 

 

Nara: "You'll 'handle' it?! So are you gonna kill me now too?"

 

 

Celann: "Please.....Lady......Don't make this any harder than it already is....."

 

 

Celann: ".....just let me......I mean.....I just wanna say....."

 

 

Celann: "....I just wanna say that I'm sorry, okay. For everything. None of this should have happened. Please......forgive me."

 

 

Nara: "Forgive you?! You come barging in here - killing everything you see - and you want me to FORGIVE YOU?!

 

 

Celann: "You......You remind me of..............Mai......."

 

 

Nara: "What are you talking about?! Who the fuck is Mai?!"

 

 

Celann: "Look, I'm going to leave now. Please, don't follow us. It's not safe for you."

 

 

Nara: "It's not safe?! I'LL SHOW YOU 'NOT SAFE'!!!"

 

 

Nara: "DIE, YOU BANDIT SCUM!!!"

KRAAA-THOOOOOOMM!

 

 

Celann: "SHIT!"

BA-DOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

 

 

Durak: "Where is that blasted boy. He has shamed not just us this night - but also the name of the Dawnguard. Perhaps he was killed trying to escape? If so.....it might be for the best...."

 

 

Durak: "Hmmmm, looks like he made it out alive after all. He might wish he wasn't so lucky once Isran hears of what has transpired."

 

 

Celann: "Sorry I'm late...I got held up on my way out. We can go now."

Durak: "Not so fast, boy."

 

 

Duark: "Please....tell me that you killed that last necromancer....the foul-mouthed girl in the bedroom."

 

 

Celann: "I...I mean.....Of course I did. She's dead. Just as you asked."

 

 

Durak: "-SIGH- You're a terrible liar, Celann. You have no idea what you've just done. It was important that we killed every last one of them. Now she will come after us for revenge."

 

 

Celann: "You just slaughtered an entire fort full of people. Now you're afraid of one little girl?!"

Durak: "I hope you're right. I hope she IS just a 'little girl'. Because otherwise, we've just created a monster with nothing to lose. And the monster will hunt us..."

 

 

Celann: "No. No she won't. She doesn't know who we are...."

 

 

Celann: "...and she has absolutely no idea how to find us!"

 

 

Nara: "So I reminded him of Mai, eh? Well whoever she is, I'm going to find her. And then that bitch is going to lead me right to them!"

 

 

The End........
