    Kaz snatches one of the blood potions and downs it without a second thought. "Doesn't matter, it'll do for now. Thanks kiddo."

    "Thalmor? Kill me? Hilarious thought, boys. It'd take more than a Thalmor squadron to take me down."

    "Why do any of us have to be injured for this plan? Isn't there a different angle we could use?"

    Realizing the male was a vampire and fine with the blood potions, she nodded her head and continued on, knowing she could not help him. Technically, she could; but she wouldn't be fond of it. It was then that she continued onward, before hiding behind a rock. From there, she was out of sight and could see the mouth of the cave. All she would have to do is wait in the cold.

    "There will be a lot of them there..." Rayyia spoke up, facing Kivuli. "But we really have no choice. Having a prisoner is the easiest way." She then paused for a moment after Lazzie spoke up.

    "Why not acting? Let's say Falion saw the person about to take out a small bandit camp. When the bandits are sleeping, Falion poisons all of the food, and leaves. When said-person raids the camp, they eat the food, and instantly suffer from food poisoning. That gives Falion the chance to threaten them with their life unless they go with him. Because they are so poisoned their mind isn't functioning properly, they agree and he drags them along to the base of the Thalmor. That way, no injuries really need to be made, as a bruise can be hidden behind clothing. It would also be more believable for Falion to use his wits to take down an enemy rather than brute force."

    "Plus, all that only needs to be said if asked. And the "captive" can simply act weak and out of their state of mind due to the poison... which of course, would be all a ruse."

    Rayyia finally finished her idea of a backstory, before stating "Just an idea."

    "That's perfect!" Kivuli purrs, looking all excited. "That way nobody gets too wounded before the fight starts! So, who will play the poisoned prisoner?"

    Lazzie eyes the group, settling on Tobias. "You seem the most likely to eat random bandit food. How are your acting skills?"

    Tobias frowned and opened his mouth to retort, but shut it and shook his head. It was probably justified considering his episode. That and the fact that abominations were usually considered half-witted.

    It was a solid plan, Tobias admitted begrudgingly.

    "Pretty good, actually. I think it's a clever idea, all things considered. Also, I would prefer that Rialas is kept off of the front lines in his state."

    He paused, taking a long breath. "I would prefer that we all take a while to go over contingency plans, but time is of the essence. Are we ready?"

    Kivuli nods. "I have a few plans. Plan A, Conjuration Frenzy. Bombard the Thalmor with anything we got in the Conjuration school and run in the confusion. Plan B, Night's Fury. All vampires and lycans shapeshift and taunt the Thalmor while the wounded get away. Plan C, Calling the Calvary. I get Shadowmere to bring the rest of the Guild and Brotherhood to our location to overrun the foe while we hide and wait." She lists off her three plans, looking quite proud of herself. "I'm particularly fond of Plan A myself."

    While Ryder was greteful for Kivuli's energy, her plans had a few minor problems.

    "I have a few questions. Other than you, can anyone conjure anything? Able as you may be, a single Conjurer can only do so much.

    Secondly, the only person I know of that can shapeshift into a different form is you, Kivuli. Father may be able to, but I don't think the subject has ever come up.

    Lastly, I don't think an open offensive with the Guild or the Brotherhood against the Thalmor would be a good idea.

    While the added numbers would help us, we risk losing a substantial amount of Thieves for a very small payoff. Also, openly opposing the Thalmor would make an even greater target of the Guild. Our location is not hidden, nor is it particularly hard to get into. The Guild would be wiped from the face of Tamriel within the month. We are Thieves, not warriors.

    I also caution you on bringing in the Dark Brotherhood. Your members are used to working from the shadows, and open combat is not their strong suit. I also want to remind you that the last time the Brotherhood openly opposed a group, it ended rather poorly with the destruction of your Sanctuary and the near obilteration of your organization. Not to pour salt on a wound, but I recall rumors of multiple attempts on your own life, Kivuli.

    While you may not hold your own life in high regard, Tobias would take the loss very heavily. You are his only family.

    Excuse me for any lines I may have crossed, I just wish to inform you of the risks of your plans."

    Kivuli shoots Ryder a glare when the Argojiit mentioned the fallen Sanctuary, eyes flashing the bright gold they turned when she was in lycan form for a hot second. "I thought that day was never to be mentioned, Ryder. Ever. And you are a fool if you think I would blindly lead my Brotherhood in open combat against the Thalmor of all people, if anything it's a flashy escape ruse cast from afar!"

    Kaz heads back into the cave. "I have an idea."

    Rayyia listened to all the suggestions, as it was becoming a bit... tense, in the room. "Eilonwy knows conjuration," she mumbled, barely audible if it was. She did feel a bit bad pretty much sending her away; but it was best. For now, she was just awaiting a plan worthy of execusion. She was happy the others agreed, thinking of it to be great. But the issue was choosing who to be the captive.

    Suddenly, things took a toxic turn as criticism developed anger. Something that happened to Kivuli and Ryder, obviously was a tender spot to Kivuli. Enough for her to snap back at him like a hungry wild wolf. As aggressive as Rayyia was, she was not exactly comfortable with people fighting in a group that cannot get along completely. When Kaz arrived with an idea, she hoped it was one everyone could agree on.

    Eilonwy on the other hand, was pondering as she froze in the outside elements of the snow. Should she go and fight? Taking down the Thalmor was important, but she knew well enough that her first murder should not be of her own race, heritage, and at such a large extent of them. But again, they were horrible, awful people. Some of which she never wants to affiliate herself with.

    She could just heal them from afar; they would never know! That way she wouldn't have to be seen, and she could heal her comrades! Plus, if she was well-hidden enough, she could attack with long range spells and quickly go into hiding once more! Now that was a plan that she could potentially use without disrupting the others.

    Kivuli huffs and eyes Kaz. "What is this idea?"

    "There is a certain tactic commonly used on the sea, when attacking docked ships in the dead of night. Requires the slickest and quietest beings here to work. We wait until the dead of night and slowly sneak into the Thalmor encampment. Picking off their members one by one in the utter darkness. They will panic, unable to see the monster whisking away their brethren. The ensuing chaos will provide cover for our more noisy companions to sweep in and pick off any runners." Kaz snickers in morbid glee. "By the time they know what hit them, they'll all be stone cold dead!"

    Ryder held up his hands in a pacifying gesture, attempting to sound diplomatic and collected. "I meant no disrespect. It was simply out of concern for you, and your members. Do not forget the long-standing agreement the Guild has with the Brotherhood.

    We are on the same side, Kivuli. I merely wanted to express concern. Excuse me if I misspoke."


    Ryder stood quietly as Kazasha discussed his plan. It was sound, considering the amount of stealthy members in the group.

    "I have seen this tactic used successfully on many occasions. It's daring and requires perfect syncronization amongst all members, but it's effective. Very effective."

    "And with the amount of thieves and assassins in our group that are used to working in teams, this shouldn't be too hard to sync up."

    Kivuli shoots Ryder a less angry and more agitated look. "Reminding me of that event isn't the best way to go about such expressions of concern, boy-o."

    While Rayyia was still a bit concerned with the banter, she did agree with the final plan; or at least, she hoped it to be the final plan. "I agree Kaz. If executed properly, this attack will be extremely successful and effective," she added, a smile on her face as she twirled her dagger once more. She was very eager to implement the plan, and she was sure the others were.

    "So are we ready to go or no...?" she asked a bit impatiently, twirling her dagger with one hand on her hip. Being a prisoner for a few days bored her; enough to where she was anxious to dispel blood once again. Could that be an addiction...? Nah. Whatever the case, she was ready.

    And so was Eilonwy. She was already beyond freezing; she knew once the battle was over, and if she survived, she would definitely have contracted a cold by the end of it. Hopefully something a few potions can cure overtime. It seemed diseases were easier to cure than a simple fever or cold...

    Ryder looked around the room, getting subtle nods from Tobias, and Rialas.

    "My fellow Thieves and I are ready. What about you Father?"

    Wolf nodded, rolling out the kinks in his shoulders with a series of loud pops.

    "My blade and ice stand ready to spill some Thalmor blood. Listener?"
     

    Kivuli_The_Khajit

    "Of course I'm ready for this, kiddo. Haven't tasted Thalmor blood in a long while anyways."

    "I'm ready too. Falion?"


    "Ready to lead the charge." Falion nods to Kivuli, now in the new robe set. "Feel free to take anything from the encampment, except my stuff. That I'll be taking back from them."

    Ryder nodded, a wry grin lighting up his face. "Glad to hear we aren't doing this without any payment."

    The Rednord was now giddy with excitement! Stuff to take! Despite her friend going home - at least, so she thought - she knew she would have to pick up a few items for her... maybe. "Then let's get going!" The bandit leader announced, ready to get on with the show! She was certainly excited to do something rather than simply murdering for stuff or because she was paid to do so; this time, it was something actually righteous for Skyrim. For a rouge like her, it felt nice that being aggressive was a heroic thing to do, for once.

    Eilonwy still awaited, becoming quite bored. However, she was a very patient woman. What in Tamriel could they be planning?

    Falion starts heading out of the cave. "Follow me, I'll show you the best hiding spots. There's a really good one up in the mountains the encampment is nestled in."

    Kivuli stretches out, looking forward to going all werewolf on these homicidal Altmer. It would be glorious.

    With energy, Rayyia exited the cave as well, putting away her dagger. She managed to calm herself down, knowing she would need to save her energy for later. Internally, she felt a bit awkward; leading The Flames, she was always used to, well, being the leader. For once, the responsibility was lifted off her shoulders and it felt great.

    Of course, she would never give up her permission with her bandits. For now, she would enjoy her "time off" of leadership and take part in murdering while following another's orders. It was a bit difficult for her though, as she was, at times, "bossy". She would cope though, as this was a far more serious group than her band of misfits.

    Eilonwy was filled with relief as she watched the group begin their travels and exit the cave. Despite her own excitement, she knew she would have to wait still until they were at a far enough distance to follow them and hopefully not be seen or heard.

    Kaz seems a bit lost in thought, contemplating using his own shifting for this. Would be a glorious sight...

    Kiv hugs the shadows as the group moves out, as was her usual style of movement.

    Falion is in the lead, moving stealthily himself. Not wanting to be seen and thus recognized by any comrades who might be spying.

    (It will be a while till they get to the Thalmor, so this is good opportunity for character relations development)

    It was finally peaceful once more, to which Rayyia could enjoy. From afar, Eilonwy was traveling alone, making sure to keep the distance but close enough to see.

    She drank another magicka potion, before eating a slightly warm piece of bread that was inside of her robes. Because it was in the depths of her pockets, it was warm from her body eat, which definitely gave her more energy. It was at times like that she missed the warm Summerset Isles; for weather only, of course.

    Rayyia was in her own thoughts, walking along and enjoying it. While Eilonwy stressed from behind on constant alert, with such a large group, Rayyia felt safe enough to walk peacefully. Despite just meeting everyone, she already felt like she was at home with The Flames. No matter how chilly it was, she was still warm from the group.
