Maarselok Reconnaissance
Original media : TES Online
Passage over the Tenmar border was uneventful. Khajiit haven't been seen this far west in ages. No signs of the Dragon, though the wildlife seems on edge, like a bad storm is coming. Captain wants us well ahead of the main force. Haven't been out this way before. A bit balmy for my taste, but this valley is as lush as the Green. Wonder why the Khajiit never resettled it? Or left in the first place? There are enough ruins to suggest there used to be a lot of Khajiit out here. Though a Senche-Lion did try to make a meal out of me. Usually they at least try to be stealthy. Eh, cats do as they do. Still no sign of the Dragon, which is all the Captain cares about. Seems like these ruins haven't been completely abandoned. There are boot tracks around. Some fresh, some not, but it tells me folk have been squatting here or at least passing through within the last few months at least. I think there's been a mage camping out here. Quite a few sorcery bits and bobs left lying around. Thought hermit wizards only existed in story books. Probably took off once the Dragon showed up. These caves will make a decent base camp for the main force, though. We spotted him! The Dragon finally left its roost. It looked like he was searching for something. Think I held my breath out of fear he caught wind of our attack force, but he eventually landed up near the summit and settled in. Now we know where the big blue bastard lives. I never heard of Dragons making nests, but I think this one might be part magpie. Or skeever. The mountain up by the summit has gone blue as he is. Glows bright as can be at night. It'll be our guiding star as we advance up the mountain in the middle of the night. Y'ffre, help us! It'd all been quiet! Creatures came spilling out of this blue rot once the main force made camp. Like they were waiting for us! We're surrounded. Trapped in this fetid cesspit. They don't attack unless we try to leave. I can't see anyone else. I can't see them. I'm the only one who got away. I'm the only one. The only one. I can still here them screaming. The blue got in them and made them sick. made them mad. They attacked us! We all ran. All ran. It's just me now. I need to get home. The Green will protect me. Protect me from the blue. PROTECT ME PLEASE! |
