Ostium and Meeko entered the Cave. The floor was covered in Water, which came up to his Knees. Mushrooms were growing all over the place. Not wanting to be caught offguard Ostium decided to clear the Cave first before he started Harvesting them. He crouched down trying to make as little Noise as possible.
A few Steps into the Cave and they stumbled upon a body laying on a Fur Bedroll next to a small campfire. He inspected the Body. 2 Fist sized holes in the Leather Armors Chest piece. Hearing movement further down the corridor, Ostium readied his Imperial Bow and sneaked down the corridor. The sounds got louder as he got closer to a small room in the WallIt was covered in Spider webs. A small Frostbite Spider crawled into sight. Ostium took an Arrow out of the Quiver and and pulled back the String, hitting it right into the side of its abdomen. The Spider stumbled back in Shock and gazed at Ostium who by now sprinted down thw corridor, The Spider right begind him. As him and the Spider were about to turn the Corner, jumped out from behind the Corner landing on the Spiders back and biting its Neck. After a Small struggle Meeko had brought down the Beast and the went on deeper into the Cave.
"What could the Adventurers been hunting thats neither man nor Beast?" Ostium thought to himself.
they killed some more Spiders and keept going deeper into the Cave. Ostium suddenly stopped clearly hearing footsteps, he signaled Meeko to wait and went further down the corridor and peeked arround a Corner. He saw a disgusting hunched over Creature. "It resembles an Elf in some Twisted Way. This must be what the Adventurers were following and what attacked that Merchants Carriage".
Not knowing how tough it would be to kill it, Ostium took out a small Vial and drenched his Arrow in a Lingering Damage Venom. The substanced formed small bubbles and turned his Arrow head a dark Crimson Color. He took aim and hit the Creature. It shrieked im pain. Ostiums heard multiple sets of Footsteps slushing through the Water. The Poisoned Creature did not fall and shot an Arrow in Ostiums direction. It hit the well and fell into the Water next to Ostium. It was the same type of Arrow he found at the Carriage. Fearing his End Ostium turned arround and sprinted through the water filled corridor shouting for Meeko to follow him. With screams behind them they escaped through the Cave entrance and did not stop running until they arrived back at Camp. With shivering Knees Ostium slumped down on a Crate he found at Camp and put his head down. Meeko sat down next to him putiing his Head on Ostiums thigh. "We cant beat those things alone but we also cant just let these things keep killing Travelers. We need help. Lets travel to Solitude maybe the Guards will aid us".
After calming back down and eating some bread the two of them went to Solitude. The Khajiit Caravan was outside and after a small conversation Meeko was allowed to stay with Ma'dran for the time Ostium seeked for Help in Town.
Ostium asked the Guards to aid him in clearing the Cave. "We are City Guards not exterminators. Try youre luck at the Inn". Following the Guards advice He entered the Inn and was greeted by the smell of cooked food and the Voice of a Bard serenading the Patrons. He went up to the Innkeeper but before he was able tobopen his Mouth the Innkeeper started talking with a Smile on his Face." Ah i remember you Kid, What can i get you? Some Mead? Or a Room?" "No thanks im looking for someone who can help me kill some Creatures. Do You know anyone like that?" "Oh You came to the right Place my Friend." The Innkeeper pointed at a Man sitting in a Corner of the Inn biting down on some Meat. "Thats Belrand, he is youre Man when it comes to Fighting. He will Kill anything for some Coin, Even a Dragon HaHaHa".
Ostium thanked him and went over to the Nord and sat down at his Table." I heard you could help me Fight for Coin?". " You heard that right, you can hire me for 500 Septims". Ostium pulled out the Arrow he found at the Carriage and laid it on the Table. "Theres a Cave full of Creatures using these Arrows near Dragonbridge. Im afraid that they will attack Dragonbridge at some point. They already took out some Adventurers and a Merchants Carriage, its only a matter of time until they attack Dragonbridge". This Arrow belongs to a Falmer, disgusting Creatures." Ostium pulled out his Bag of Septims and handed it over. "Those are about 400 Septims but if you help me then im willing to split the Loot. That might brinh you in even more than 500. Deal?". The Nord rubbed his chin for a few Seconds and then stood up holding out his Hand. "Deal!". Sealing the Contract with a Handshake. They went and picked up Meeko. Ostium flicked an Amethyst to Ma'dran as payment for watching Meeko. A Hour later and the three of them reached the Campsite. "Lets talk about our Formation before we engage them". "Right. I use Magic in combination with a Sword." "Ok then i will scout out the Enemy while you hang back with Meeko. I use Poisoned Arrows and im a good at moving silently. Here take a few Vials they might come in handy. I will take the first few shots with my Bow while moving back thats when you and Meeko engage them in close Combat. I will take care of the Archers". "Sounds good lets get going".
Inside the Cave Ostium walked a few feet in front of Belrand and Meeko. They came up to the Point at which He ran away the last time. He peeked arround the Corner and saw the Falmer he hit with the Arrow the last time face down in the water. Ostium snuck up to it and dragged him arround the Corner. Belrand reassured that this was indeed a Falmer and that the Ears of them are highly sought aftee by Alchemists. Ostium tried pulling out the Arrow but it broke. He unsheathed his Dagger and cut off the Falmers Ears, wrapped them in cloth and stowed them in his Bag. Belrand also brought up that they might walk into some charus. He warned Ostium of theyre powerful Poison. They went in deeper into the Cave.
They encounterd a few Falmer and two Charus who were dispatched by Belrands flame and the Archery of Ostium. Meeko brought down 2 Falmer who snuck up behind them. Belrand told Ostium to gather as many of the Charus eggs hi could fit in his Satchel Bag. Those are strong Alchemical Ingredients explained Belrand. A few Rooms later and Ostium spotted what looked like a Female Falmer holding a Staff. He snuck back and reported what he saw to Belrand. "That is most likely a Shaman. Watch out for that Staff it could be Magical. You better use the strongest Venom you have, we have to bring her down Quick".
Ostium pulled out a Vial and dripped a Foul smelling slime onto his Arrowhead. He hands it to Belrand. He pulls out another Vial. "The first onr was Paralysis, this is my Strongest Venom. It causes Necrois where ever it hits the target." Ostium dripped a Jet Black fluid on the Arrowhead. A drop got on his Glove. He handed the Arrow to Belrand and quickly removed the glove and dropped it on the ground. The glove gave of a low sizzling sound "What was that just now? What happened to youre Glove?". "It started to slowly rot. When this substance makes contact with Material such as Skin it will start to decompose that Material My gloves are made of Leather so it started to rot away.". "Those are some scary things you have in that Bag of yourse." Ostium chuckled and took the prepared arrows from Belrand.
Ostium snuck forward and fired the Paralysis Arrow hitting the Shaman in the Stomach. She flailed a little and cramped up falling to the ground. Ostium signaled to move and loaded the Necrosis Arrow. He jumped up a small rock and fired hitting her right in the Chest. The Shamans Limbs stopped cramping and went limb. Her Chest starting to slowly turn black. Belrand scouted out the rest of the Cave while Ostium gathered the Mushrooms they camr across when they traversed the Cave. They met again Belrand holding 2 Staffs. He passed one onto Ostium and took the other one as Payment. They exited the Cave and went to Camp. Belrand saying if Ostium ever had a Job for him again to just find him at the Inn, he will help Free of Charge. Ostium Meeko and Belrand parted ways.
Ostium and Meeko went back to the Shack. This is when Ostium noticed something. The Bed was gone....... Someone stole the Bed. Confused he searched for marks on the ground but found nothing. To Exhausted for this lollygaging Meeko and Him went behind the Shack and decided to sleep on the Moss covered ground. He used Meeko as a Pillow and drifted off into Sleep. Not worrying about the Bed too Much since he will be Traveling to Whiterun the Next day.
I got the bug where the Bed dissapeares and decided to roll with it :D
