Athis, Njada and Lina were all headed to Rannveig's Fast just after later that night, they'd been told a number of young would-be adventures had gone missing and the parents of a young lad named Lukar had hired the companions to try and find their son. They dressed in their armor before dawn Lina in a leather jerkin she had tailored to fit her and spent a fare amount of time making pants and gloves that kept her warm and a black cloak. Athis wore a mix hide armor and iron mail chest guard that suited him and allowed him to move freely. Njada wore her standard studded leathers.

Athis, Njada and Lina were all headed to Rannveig's Fast just after later that night, they'd been told a number of young would-be adventures had gone missing and the parents of a young lad named Lukajr had hired the companions to try and find their son. They dressed in their armor before dawn Lina in a leather jerkin she had tailored to fit her and spent a fare amount of time making pants and gloves that kept her warm and a black cloak. Athis wore a mix hide armor and iron mail chest guard that suited him and allowed him to move freely. Njada wore her standard studded leathers.

"Why are you wearing a cloak? Enemies could just grab it and pull you in." Athis observed while they climbed onto the carriages cart. "It's too damned cold." Lina said then took a bite of a cream treat with sweet creamy vanilla and snowberry filling, Athis replied. "You'll grow used to it after awhile."

"Let's just get this over with the less time I have to spend with you two the better." Njada griped. Athis shot back. "I can guarantee we don't enjoy your company either." Lina didn't even bother to weigh in, her mouth too full of a heavenly, boiled cream treat to reply.

"Elves, Breton their all the damned same testy good-for-nothings if you ask me-" "Shut your face, before I shut it for you Njada." Lina cut in with a mouth full of her second cream treat. "Like you could! Gods, you know you sure are Nirns smallest fatass." Njada said and kicked a loose bit of wood at Lina. "At least I don't look like I took a giants club to the face! Repeatedly." Lina quipped. Athis laughed then Njada pushed him off the cart before trying to push Lina off too though she ended up with a somewhat sticky punch to her eye.

Lina ended up pushing Njada off the cart in a rage after her cream treat fell onto the carriages bottom. Bjorlam sighed. 'This will be without a doubt be a long carriage ride to Morthal.' He was wrong it turned out to be of the longest rides he'd ever done. He'd had drunken mercenaries who made less of a racket and gave him less of a headache and they'd peed in the carriage!

Walking to Rannveig's Fast they continues argue. "No am not a sorceress, I'm telling you again for the last just because I use magic does not make me a sorceress. I'm bloody, Battlemage dammit! I use a sword and I don't summon things. " Lina shouted while she childishly and dramatically waved her arms. "Athis come on you know the difference don't you?" Lina asked Athis sweetly. "I'm not well versed enough in the ways of magic to judge. I also don't care just don't hit me with any spells and don't die."

"Ha, even the elf agrees with me!" Njada proclaimed. Lina glared. "Njada. Go die in a hole." "I didn't say I agreed with you! Stop putting words in my mouth." Athis replied rapidly.

"Oh you're both just worthless pointed eared pretenders! I don't even know why either of you were let in the first place!" Njada bellowed. "I only have pointed ears because my father is a Bosmer you bloody Gods damn racist bint!" "I joined on my own merit as a warrior!" Lina and Athis both shouted at the same time.

When they reached Rannveig's Fast and saw the first bound adventurer's ghost, they all grew silent; after they saw the second one that also told them. "Stay away!" They approached it with more caution, the ghost quickly charged as it cried. "I don't have any choice! I'm sorry!" They defeated it all of them had a solemn look, Lina finally broke the silence. "Whoever did this was a monster, necromancy is horrid enough but whoever is doing this is twisted." Athis nodded "The dead should be honored not, to have a soul unwillingly bound like that…" Njada remained silent kneeling by the spirits residue. "I think we finally have something we can all agree on, let's go gut this son of a bitch." She said.

When Lina saw the Word Wall she ran towards it. "I can't believe it a word wall!" She fell through two trapdoors before she could even reach it. A drowned and bloated body broke her fall. A nordic necromancer with a mohawk clapped his hands. "Oh balls that hurt. Oh Gods I landed on a dead man!" Lina croaked. "Ooooh...yes...yes. You've fallen for my trap! Greed makes a great lure. Odd you didn't die from the fall though. Most do."

"How Charming." Lina sneered. "Well now, it's so nice to have a living test subject. I think we'll have a lot fun together. You can call me Slid. I'm sure you'll be using me name quite often while begging for me to end your life."Slid informed her with a sinister smile.

"Slid it sounds like a description of how Sloads move not a name! Clearly your parents weren't the brightest Nords in Skyrim. And I've seen a lot of idiotic nords around so that's sayin' something." Lina laughed. "Soo, Sload load what's with the dead apprentice, did they make fun of your hair?"

"Oh I think I'll spend quite some time torturing you before I kill you, and don't mind my assistant here. He may have seen better days, but he's still more help to me dead than he was alive." Slid said then laughed sadistically. Lina shouted. "HE?! Are you daft? Your dead assistant has breasts! Last time I checked females looked like that!" Lina motioned towards the dead assistant. "Though clearly your hobby of playing with the dead must have given you much more interactions with women down here in your dark necro-mancy-philia pit." She stated deprecatingly with an eye roll.

'Just get close enough so I can zap you with lighting and take the key, or smash you head into the bars you skeezy bastard!' "Alright, let's see if we have something here I can use on you. It's got to be somewhere around here! Now where did I put it?" Slid continued on his yammer and walked to a shelf ignoring Lina yell while she kicked the cage violently. "Why don't you unlock this cage and I'll help you look up your own ass by shoving your head up it!"
