(Solitude)
Solitude Guard Axe(1): So?
Solitude Guard Axe(1): What do you think?
Solitude Guard Sword(2): Well.
Soltiude Guard 2: I think she's dead.
Solitude Guard 1: No shit....*sigh* why do i bring you?
Solitude Guard 2: Well we could get the commander.
Solitude Guard 1: No, he nor anyone one else has been able to find anything, we need someone who's better with corpses than the others.
Solitude Guard 2: Well.....we could ask her?
Solitude Guard 1: No, we already asked that court mage, why would she be any better.
Solitude Guard 2: Well she is a necromancer, and she's tougher than Sybille s-
Solitude Guard 1: *loud sigh* fine, go get her, be quick about it.
Solitude Guard 2: Yes sir.
*running sound*
Solitude Guard 1: *sigh*
Solitude Guard 1: Hopefully she can figure it out.
Fiona: Soooo.
Fiona: Why did you bring me here?
Solitude Guard 2: Well i wan-
Solitude Guard 1: We need you to investigate a corpse for us?
Fiona: And why should i help you?
Solitude Guard 1: Please Ms.Summer, this affects everyone.
Fiona: Not me, i don't even walk around this city at night....or the day actually.
Solitude Guard 1: *sigh* look you're the only one we can ask at this point.
Solitude Guard 1: So please, just help us.
Fiona: ugh.
*Pushes past*
Fiona: Fine.
Fiona: ...........why's she naked.
Solitude Guard 2: We believe the murder was going to rape her then stopped for some reason.
Fiona: This is.....a pretty clean cut, who did this.
Solitude Guard 1: We don't know.
Solitude Guard 2: We've had several murders over the past month, all involving either headless or stabbed women.
Solitude Guard 2: Most end up like this, but with a lot more cuts.
Fiona: I see.
Fiona: I feel some kind of magicka on her, it feels like destr-!
*Sound of knife scraping ground*
Fiona: Hold on.
Fiona: Why is there a small knife here?
Solitude Guard 1: Ah, that looks like one of the knives we've found on the other victims.
Fiona: Others?
Solitude Guard 1: Yes, the last one was stabbed several times.
Fiona: I see, what exactly happened to this one?
Solitude Guard 1: We're not sure, but all the cases seem to go the same way.
Solitude Guard 1: "A woman walking around a night"
Solitude Guard 1: "Alone"
Solitude Guard 1: "Normally passing by the entrance or exit to this underpass"
Solitude Guard 1: "When someone appears"
Solitude Guard 1: "Leaps out at them"
Solitude Guard 1: "and ends their life"
Fiona: "How many times has this happened?"
Solitude Guard 2: 27
Fiona: Twenty Se-*facepalm*
Fiona: So let me get this straight, you idiots have had 27 murders but no extra patrols here.....why?
Solitude Guard 2: We've been short on men due to the war.....and the others that did ended up headless as well.
Fiona: Then get better armor, that's not my prob-
Solitude Guard 1: Look Ms.Summer.
Solitude Guard 1: You helped us during the ghost incident as well as with the summoning at that cave, this is a magic user who's chopping up these girls, we feel you are the only one who can help us.
Fiona: Why not Sybille?
Solitude Guard 1: She didn't turn up anything either.
Solitude Guard 2: Please Ms.Summer.
Solitude Guard 1: We'll talk to our commander about rewarding you if need be.
Solitude Guard 1: So please, help us solve these murd-
Fiona: By the gods just shut up already, you two's begging is annoying.
Fiona: Fine, i'll help you, but don't bother me with something like this, its my week off.
Solitude Guard 1 and 2's thoughts: But you don't work.
Solitude Guard 1: O-of course.
Solitude Guard 2: We'll do our best.
Fiona: Good.
Fiona: Now if you'll excuse me, i have work to do.
*Sound of footsteps*
Solitude Guard 2: Man i'd love to fuck her.
Solitude Guard 1: Why, that woman's cr-
*Lightning sound*
Solitude Guard 1: AH!
Solitude Guard 2: BY THE GODS!!!
Fiona: You know, talking about someone who's helping them behind their back isn't wise. Do well to remember that.
Fiona: If you don't want to be fucked by this Lightning.
*Footsteps*
*Footsteps fading*
Solitude Guard 2: I'll still tap th-
Solitude Guard 1: Just shut up.
*Footsteps*
Fiona: Hmmm, strange.
Fiona: Why would there be such an enchantment on a small knife, weird.
Fiona: Lets go see if Sybille really knows nothing.
(5 minutes later)
Fiona: So?
Fiona: What do you think.
Sybille: I think its a knife.
Fiona: I'm aware, i'm asking if you have seen the enchantment on it before.
Sybille: I've never seen this enchantment in my life.
Sybille: I've been studying magic for years and i can't even figure this out.
Fiona: *sigh*
Fiona: Its an enchantment designed to harm females specifically
Sybille: Its a knife, how could it do any more damage.
Fiona: it slows them down with a poison.
Fiona: At least that's i've examined.
Sybille: We just looked at this thing, how could you possibly know this?
Fiona: Because apparently i'm the only one that knows anything around here.
Sybille: Hmph.
Sybille: It didn't matter, this killer, i we can't stop him.
Fiona: What makes you say that?
Sybille: The corpses of the last women that were around him, that's what. The last one was a mage, she was riddled with knives, I doubt you'd fair any differently
Fiona: What do you mean by riddled?
Styrr: We found her by the docks.
Styrr: She was hurt pretty bad.
Styrr: I'm amazed she got away with just this much.
Fiona: Excuse me!
Fiona: What do you mean "Just this much"?!
Fiona: She's full of Knives!
Styrr: I'm very aware.
Styrr: But considering all the other victims i've seen, she probably suffered the least.
Fiona: I find that extremely hard to believe.
Fiona: So, what happened to the other bodies exactly? Do you know what happened to them?
Styrr: Well most met rather gruesome ends even more so like this one.
Styrr: The last 2 before this one had their arms chopped off, were filled with knives, and had several cuts all over.
Fiona: Were they all Nobles?
Styrr: No, about 7 were adventures passing through, mages, warriors, all happened by the entrance and exit of the Arch.
Fiona: I see.
Fiona: Interesting.
Styrr: These poor girls.
Styrr: Hopefully the guards can find who did thi-
Fiona: Say.
Fiona: The knife points....do the victims all have them entered from the front like this?
Styrr: huh? uh....Yes actually.
Fiona: and the cuts on the body?
Styrr: Both sides actually, always on the people who run too actually.
Fiona: .........that would mean.........yes.
Fiona: Say, would you happen to know where i could find a bandit camp around her.
Styrr: a bandit camp...hmm
Styrr: No, that that i know of, but there are some bandits who live on that ship by the lighthouse, some new female only bandit group called the Valkyrie's they've been harassing travelers for a week now, we've had some people stat away from that road.
Fiona: Oh, that will work wonderfully.
Fiona: Thanks.
Styrr: Wait, where are you going?
Fiona: To get some bait.
(1 hour later, Dainty Sload)
Bandit Lieutenant: So, think anyone will get our message.
Bandit Chief: of course they will.
Bandit Lieutenant: What about guards, won't they notice.
Bandit Chief: Nope, i've paid a few off already.
Bandit Chief: This is it Ragna, our own female only Bandit Camp, and as long as we keep doing what we have been doing for the past week, we don't need to worry about any mercenary.
Bandit Chief: You ready to go find some merchants to rob.
Ragna: Fuck yeah!
*Stone Crunching under footsteps*
Ragna: But not many people have been coming around lately.
Bandit Chief: Don't worry. I'm sure someone will show up on their own, hopefully a noble.
Ragna: Want us to go set a trap for them.
Bandit Chief: Yes, that would be great.
Ragna: I wish one would just walk up to us though.
Bandit Chief: Yeah, but what are the odds o-
Fiona: Hey!
Bandit Chief: Oh.
Bandit Chief: Looks like your wish was granted.
Ragna: Yes it was.
Fiona: Are you guys the wannabe bandits known as the Valrahs.
Bandit Chief: Its Valkyrie's you idiot!
Fiona: So you guys are the female only bandit camp right.
Bandit Chief: That's right!
Bandit Chief: and as soon as we have enough members we will take over the other camps in Skyrim, i will be the new Queen of the bandits.
Fiona: I see....seems dumb.
Ragna: How about you show a little respect for our leader Bitch, or would you rather be our bitch.
Fiona: Nah, i'll pass on that.
Fiona: I'd rather you and your crew become mine though. So, you can either slit your own throats now, or i can kill you myself.
Bandit Chief: AHHAHAHA!
Bandit Chief: HAAHA, You hear this Ragna? She thinks that she can defeat us.
Ragna: Lets teach her a lesson, LADIES!!!
Bandit Chief: You see little Bitch, i control these 5 great warriors.
Bandit Chief: These are the 5 greatest warriors in the hold.
Fiona: 5, that's not many?
Ragna: You should just give up now, and come up quietly.
Bandit Chief: You heard my commander, come up or die.
Fiona: *sigh*
Fiona: such a pain.
Fiona: Sorry ladies, but i don't really care for your little club. I just need some bait to catch someone.
Bandit Chief: I told you, you must be crazy to think we'll just go with that? Even if you defeat u-
Fiona: You misunderstand. I never asked you to become my bait, i told you to slit your throats or you could fight me.
Fiona: You should have just slit your own throats, because fighting me-
*Ice cracking sound*
Fiona: Is your worst option.
Bandit Chief: Valkyrie's
*Sound of cold wind blowing around her*
Bandit Chief: Capture her alive!
*Sound of ice spell being launched*
Bandit Chief: Ne-
Bandit Chief: OH FU-!
*Ice shattering sound*
*ice cracking sounds*
Fiona: Now then
Fiona: Lets get you 5 ready.
