Dawnguard Retold - Part 7: The Bathhouse
Thank you both for coming on such short notice. I just received a message that can help us track down our little runaways.The College of Winterhold claims that members of the Dawnguard killed their librarian, Urag.
The mages' autopsy found no evidence of vampirism. You two are going to get to the bottom of this.
It must be Anya and Serana. But why are they at the college?
Maybe they learned something from the librarian and killed him to cover their tracks?
Sir what if Anya's been enthralled?
That's what worries me.
Sofia, I know you and Anya have worked closely in the past; but if either you or Gunmar suspect that she's become a vampire.
You must be ready to kill her.
I'm more than ready sir.
Good. Remember your primary goal is to find out what they're up to.
Killing them is a last case scenario.
Understood sir.
Finally. We've arrived to Solitude.It's just as beautiful as I remember.Let's get out of the sun. I'm exhausted.
And I'm filthy. We should go to the bathhouse. There's one just East of here.
Agmaer, you take this carriage back to Fort Dawnguard and tell them everything I read about the prophecy. Serana and I will spend the night here in Solitude.
Will you be alright alone with the vampire? I'm worried about you.
Relax boyscout, I'm not going to do anything to her.
(Unless she wants me to of course...)Now can we get going?
Good luck Agmaer. Hopefully Isran will listen to you.
If the Tyranny of the Sun prophecy is true,
we need a united Dawnguard to stop it.
Its a lot bigger than I expected.Are the Dwarves okay with us using their bathhouse?Ooo... I'll explain that later.
Ahhhhhhh...I'm feeling refreshed how about you?
I haven't felt this clean in ages.
So how did the Dwarves become extinct? Was there a war?
People have theories but no one knows for sure. Its a mystery. How old are you exactly? What happened in that cave?
I don't know how long I was asleep,
but before that I had been a vampire for about twenty-five hundred years.
Yeah right. I'm young not stupid. A thousand year old vampire would be extremely powerful. Evan Isran has only killed a couple of those.
Don't you believe me?
No. I don't. Tell me why you were in that cave.I come from one of the oldest vampire clans in Skyrim. My father had become obsessed with finding elder scrolls. I had gone to retrieve it.Now I know why: The prophecy.
The Tyranny of The Sun.
I wonder why my mother locked me there. The sun strips vampires of their power and weakens us. Its the reason we hide in the shadows.Without the sun, vampires would rule the world.
Are you sure you're not interested in becoming a vampire?
I would really like to convert you myself.
I've never converted a woman before. That was my father's job.
No. I'll never live by feeding off others.
Two years ago... my village was attacked by a powerful vampire.
I was the only survivor.
Shame.
I know tasting your blood would be pure bliss,
...for both of us.
I'm sorry that happened to you.Not all vampires are monsters.
My lord.
When do we strike? The elder scroll belongs to you Lord Harkon.Patience, mon chéri. Everything is going according to plan.
We will allow this "Dawnguard" to play their little game.
They know not what they're up against.
But how will we get the scroll?
We won't.
We only need the information within the scroll.
The Dawnguard will read it for us.
Excellent plan, master. Then will be their own destruction.
Vampires are monsters. You drink people's blood and invade villages.
You kill innocent people!
What are you saying.You think I'm a monster?
You don't want to work with me?
No its just...
I have been your ally this whole time!
If I wanted to make you my slave I could do in one bite. Easily.
We are doing this to get answers - together.I do. I still want to work together.
But my view of your kind won't change.I don't want to argue. Lets just get back to Solitude.
