Happy new year everyone!, wow its truly been quite a year for both in my personal life and now with this fanfic which I created midway in July. I'm happy with how much I have progressed with it and I hope you the readers are as well. Anyway this chapter is has been quite a unique one to write given it mostly follows in terms of canon material the same plot as episode 3. Well everything except the parts where Ricky stars in J rocs porn video or anything related to it. While that is a comedic part of it its hard to convert into the elder scrolls universe given the heavy modern real world aspects. So things are changed up to this story version of the plot taking on a different reasoning and series of events. Now thats said and done lets get into the 8th chapter.


Conundrums Of A Necklace

Jim Lahey stood in the middle of the street his weary gaze observing the left over mess in front of him made by some juvenile younglings some time early. The old Nord noted that he and his younger assistant supervisor would have to come back to clean it up later with proper tools so as to ensure that it was spotless and restored to its former state. Personally Jim was not fond of doing such work cleaning up others messes but knew it was his civil duty as the village supervisor to do just that. The job he had worked for several decades surely had its peaks and pits that came with it. Certain positives being that he had the respect of the more law abiding residents as well the regions main officials in the capitol of whiterun itself. The negatives was that he had to deal with the villages more aggravating denizens especially the bane of his existence, Ricky.

Ever since he had first met him when the latter was a boy Ricky had been the absolute worse trouble maker and a incredibly obnoxious one at that. He would even go as far to describe him as a literal daedra in human flesh given the craziness he brought to the place especially in his more adult years. Recently he had heard that the latter had taken a trip with his two buddies Julian and Bubbles to the old barrows that lay atop the mountains that sat next to the village. It was unfortunate in his opinion that the irritating Nord hadn't met with a unexpected accident while in the ruins. But oh well at least the satisfaction of taking Ricky down would ultimately belong to him and him alone.

He had a feeling that today would be one where he would do just that. Sometime earlier he had sent Randy to go investigate the Nords wagon so as to learn whether he was up to any wrong doings. He would receive a an answer shortly in the form of Randys yells that suddenly broke out in the distance.

"Mr Lahey I need back up Rickys drunk!".

"Lahey if you can fucking hear me get Randy the fuck away from my wagon and hurry the fuck up!" a voice clearly belonging to Ricky could be heard shouting as well.

Lahey opted to ignore Ricky as he instead yelled out to Randy to affirm that he would arrive to help him, "hold on Randy I'm coming bud!".

With that said Lahey ran from his current position and made his way through the street towards the location of the situation.


Meanwhile outside on the lawn of a certain Bretons house Ricky was currently in a tussle with Randy who fought back with various pushes as the Nord tried to force the associate supervisor away from his prized wagon. Alarmed by the sounds coming from outside his home Julian went out the front door to see that Ricky was holding the big gut Breton in an arm lock. As he made his way to end this pointless fight the Breton noticed that Lahey had arrived at the scene as well making his way over to the agitated Nord.

"Let him go Ricky!" Lahey yelled as he shoved Ricky away allowing Randy to break free and make his way back over to stand beside the older village supervisor. "Whats happening?".

"I'll tell you what, this fucking dicks been snooping through my wagon and I'm pissed off" Ricky said his accusation made very clear to the old Nord who not surprisingly dismissed it.

"I just came to check a noise complaint and hes been growing dope in his wagon" Randy stated pointing out the crop in the wooden transports compartment which Ricky found to be annoying given the attention it now received.

"Well you stay the fuck out of here ya hear" the Nord angrily warned.

"Is that true Ricky?" Lahey inquired as his full attention was now on Rickys current activites what with the evidence of the prior claim being right out in the open.

"Oh what you don't smoke dope any more Lahey, you haven't bought dope from me in the last ten years" Ricky quipped which admittedly startled Lahey given he did in fact have some slight history of purchasing certain items from the latter. Though the old supervisor was quick to reestablish his firm demeanour

"Ricky… theres a lot of guys growing dope in this village but your the only one who's growing it in his wagon" Lahey said to the Nord who was now starting to get aggravated with the condescending remarks. "And guess what that makes you?" the elder supervisor quizzed.

"What?" Ricky asked.

"A loser" Lahey insulted, the term only adding to Rickys anger towards the two nuisance's in front of him.

"Yeah" Randy added in agreement with Lahey.

"C'mon Randy lets deal with something important like kids breaking bottles on the mill" Lahey mocked smugly which was enough to infuriate Ricky who attempted to run at Randy.

"Ricky!" Julian yelled as he failed to order the aggravated Nord who chasing Randy in circles around him and Lahey who attempted to get Ricky away from his partner.

"Randy get back to the house!" Lahey shouted to which the younger supervisor did turning to face the direction in which the two village officials lived. Following this Randy barely dodged the charge Ricky failingly made at him who tripped and fell onto the gravel path.

"Frig off Rick!" Randy said as he marched his way back to the house clearly angered by his interactions with Ricky. The Nord got back up to his feet and attempted to go after the latter though was stopped by Julian who held a firm grip on his shoulder. Forcing him to calm down.

"Had enough Ricky" Lahey mocked as he stared down the barely restrained Ricky who wanted to just knock out the condescending supervisor. "You know one of these days whether it be today or tomorrow but I swear to the sky's above you'll be going straight to the good old Whiterun jails" the old supervisor threatened which did little to unsettle Ricky.

"Yeah well it won't be today Lahey so guess what till then you can fuck off" Ricky commented back further angering Lahey whose glare only grew icier before he turned and went back down the street disappearing into the distance. Julian then looked at Ricky who instantly noted the look disapproval on his face.

"What the fuck are you trying to do Ricky causing shit with those guys" Julian criticised not happy about the prior altercation which he felt could have been avoided.

"Its not my fault that fucking dick Randy went and looked through my shit, what did you expect me to fucking do pat him on the back" Ricky replied sarcasm dripping in his tone as the Breton continued to look at him in annoyance.

"I get all that Ricky but did you have to fuck them around that much, you do realise how much worse its gonna make things with all the fucking unneeded attention and Lahey is gonna start breathing down our necks" Julian ranted which to Ricky all had valid points but were not ones he would rally felt to be concerning.

"Fuck that crazy asshole and his hyped up bullshit Julian, hes not gonna do shit to us so I don't see why you have anything to fucking worry" Ricky explained which did little to soothe the paranoia of the Breton who made his next reply very clear in intent.

"But I do worry Rick, especially about you man" Julian said his words clearly impacting the Nord who looked at him in confusion.

"Why?, everything's fucking fine with me" Ricky responded not understanding.

"Ricky… you don't have your act together, for fuck sakes you've been growing weed plants in your wagon right out in the open where anybody can just find it, hell fucking Randy found it" Julian explained listing his most obvious dilemma which Ricky understood but still injured his pride and activated the more vocal part of his stubbornness.

"Well I've been fucking stressed trying to get this dope operation all started up and Lucys been on my case really fucking hard lately?" Ricky said his reasoning and tired out mind set clear to the Breton.

"Whys Lucy been bugging ya so much?" Julian asked curious as to why his friends girlfriend was such a source of stress for the latter other than the more obvious reasons.

"Apparently I lost something a while back like before we went around Tamriel, it was like a fucking necklace or something that I got her as a gift back when we were first going out" Ricky stated as he layed out the importance of heirloom given what it represented in the past and the feelings that accompanied it.

"You don't remember where you lost it?" Julian inquired hoping it could jog his memory.

"Nah man I can't though I fucking wish I could but my brain departments are fucking useless" Ricky said in annoyance as he hated the feeling of not being able to remember something important especially when it affected someone important to him.

"Do you think theres anything I can do to help out?" Julian offered to which Ricky shook his head in response.

"I don't think theres anything you can do to help, the things just fucking vanished" Ricky muttered irritated to himself as he kicked some grass.

"Well I hope all the best in finding in man hopefully its still around here somewhere" Julian said reassuring the Nord who he patted his shoulder as something of a comforting gesture. Ricky simply nodded his head in agreement as a response.

Following this Julian made his way back inside to finish off the half eaten meal he had waiting for him, one that had been interrupted by events moments earlier.


Several hours passed by and Ricky had moved away from the place along with the wagon which he had gotten to be pulled by none other than Alvors horse again. During the time Bubbles had arrived at Julians entering the house and spent the next half hour or so chatting it up with Julian. Discussing with the Breton on various topics such as schemes for coin, the latest doings in the village or research in the Imperials case given he had studied the fireball scroll to give him the knowledge to disenchant the paper. He had plans to implant the enchantment onto a staff so as to create a magical weapon capable of projecting the fire magic. The metal rod of course was forged by Alvor for which he paid generously. The last stage of the plan Bubbles had in mind in terms of the "staff of fire bolts" was to charge with the petty soul gem he had found so as to fully activate and utilise the newly created weapon.

After they were done with their conversation they decided to go on a little trip through the village to see if they could catch up with Ricky. Julian and Bubbles made their way through the front entrance and out onto the street, conversing as they walked deeper into Riverwood.

"So Julian what do you think of all fucking dragons coming back to Skyrim" Bubbles said as he brought up a topic that had plaguing him since Helgen which one of the supposedly dead creatures devastated.

"I don't man for me its just one big confusing cluster fuck where they're concerned, I mean Dragons were extinct for what thousands of years and now they're suddenly back" Julian replied his thoughts clear on the matter of mythological creatures whose reappearance did unsettle him a little.

"Yeah its all fucking suspicious like where they all hiding somewhere or did they get brought back by some daedra fuckery" Bubbles ranted as he unloaded his conspiracies onto his Breton companion. "I think it also might have to do with the Dragonborn legend Hadvar told us about".

"Could be" Julian said agreement at the possibility of that being a potential cause of the mysterious ocurrences now happening at the land. Up head Ricky could be seen picking up off the ground what looked to be fallen linen wrap cigarette buds that had fallen from an ash tray.

"The fuck is he do'n is he picking up old left over smokes thats greasy" Bubbles exclaimed at the Nords current doings which were definitely not hygienic in the slightest.

"Looks like it" Julian said as he himself held the same opinion over Rickys unsanitary plans for smoking the already used smokes. "Hey Ricky find any good ones?" Julian joked as he went up to the latter who upon hearing the Bretons voice stood up in embarassment.

"What?" Ricky answered defensively as he turned to face Julian and Bubbles who stood looking at him awkwardly, "like you guys never smoked a bud eh, oh look at Ricky smoking linen buds" The Nord ranted in justification to the confused Breton and his equally as lost Imperial friend.

"I'm sick of this shit, I'm sick of you and I'm sick of everybody" Ricky said over exaggerating, his agitated frame of mind apparent especially getting worse once a pair of supervisors came bustling by in a carriage. "I'm especially sick of this dick, get the fuck out of here Lahey!" Ricky spat to the elderly supervisor who simply returned an apathetic stare before getting the carriage to move from the area.

"Ricky you need really to calm down" Julian said to the Nord whose distress was starting to affect all of them.

"Its not as fucking easy as you think Julian I got all this fucking pressure on me" Ricky replied.

Suddenly a certain group of guys made their way up the street coming into view of the trio, at the head of them a familar wood elf and his Redguard best friend. "Whats up Honkies!" J roc greeted loudly as he walked up to the boys who greeted him and his group back.

"Hey J roc, Tyrone" Julian said to the two.

J roc turned to look at Ricky instantly getting a whiff of the mans current bad body odour, sending him recoiling in distaste. "Damn you stink, you should put some perfume or something on mafucka" J roc commented his choice of words only annoying the Nord further.

"I'm not in the fucking mood today so unless you got a certain piece of jewellery get the fuck out of my face" Ricky insulted.

"Hey man take it easy" Tyrone added hoping to calm the Nord who unfortunately refused to do just that.

"No I'm sick of this shit!" Ricky exclaimed as he felt frustration boiling inside his brain to the point it felt like he had a mini headache.

"Wait did you say something about some jewels?" J roc interjected as he now had become intrigued by what what Ricky was talking about.

"Yeah, why.. do you fucking know something I don't" Ricky asked wondering if the wood elf knew anything concerning the necklace.

"You should have came to me from the start boy, you should know by the now I'm the guy who fences all the fucking valuables up in this village know what I'm sayin" J roc replied which had captured the attention of the trio.

"Great then tell me what you know" Ricky responded now in a more positive mood what with hope starting to rise within him that he may find that which he needed most.

"We'll head on down to my house and we'll discuss there, that sound good with you" J roc declared to which Ricky eager as he was to find the resolution to his stress complied with.

"Well its settled we'll go to your house then" Julian said agreeing on the behalf of him and Ricky plus Bubbles who stood with him on the matter. From there the two groups became one as they all walked to J rocs house which was a 5 minute detour from where they were to the buildings that lined up at the east side of the place rested right up close against the rocky face of one of the bordering mountains that cast its shadow some what over the settlement. J roc opened the front door and let the group in to his surprisingly kept well living room.

"Be sure not to trash the place up my moms will fucking kill me if I let that shit get unclean" J roc warned to the group. J roc and the group went and sat down at the dining room table.

"Alright now J roc do you have the fucking thing or not" Ricky asked eager to hear if the wood elf did have it in his possession.

"Well that depends you gotta give them specifics, is it one of them special sling rings or is it an amulets or something" J roc inquired wanting to the details of the jewel especially if it could help jog his memory.

"Well from what I remember it was a silver necklace that had this fucking shiny blue rock in it or something, I think it was called a "Sarpyre'" Ricky replied his last words incorrectness being plainly obvious to many in the group.

"I think what Ricky was trying to say was that it was a sapphire gem" Bubbles interjected trying to correct the Nords prior mistake.

"Yeah a fucking 'sapfire' stuck in it" Ricky said though he once again made the same error, not that he really cared though.

"Ricky I don't think-".

"Whatever do you have it on you or not, all I need is a fucking answer" Ricky said to J roc who from body language displayed an expression of recognition from the told description but held a very obvious awkwardness to him. This awkward reaction was quick to be picked up on by Julian who had a guess at what the hesitancy was about.

"You still do have it around, right J roc?" Julian asked to which the wood elf shared a look with Tyrone who looked back answering with a nod.

"Well we did find and had a necklace like that on us but-" J roc said not being able to finish the sentence confidently, Tyrone would finish it for him.

"Me and J sold it to a bandit group several months back as a part of a deal" Tyrone explained to the trio.

Rickys reaction to this was extreme disbelief and denial which barely suppressed the now growing rage. "So what are you trying to say boys, you guys sold the necklace I got for Lucy TO A BUNCH OF MURDERING DICKS AND COCKKNUCKLES!" the Nord yelled.

"Whoah calm down Ricky they ain't so bad" J roc responded tried to calm down the mans angry reaction which only proved to have the opposite effect.

"Bullshit all the fucking bandits out there are fucked" Ricky retaliated his argument showing his cynical but understandable view gained from experience.

"Not these fucking guys man, from what I remember these bandits were pretty reasonable especially their boss Shamac" Tyrone added.

Ricky was about let loose a hot headed reply but was halted by his Breton friend. "You think this Shamac and his men will be open to a trade?" Julian asked to which J roc gave an uncertain reply.

"Possibly, I don't know Jules" The wood elf replied which left quite an amount of uncertainty regarding the topic of such a possible transaction.

"Well We'll cross that fucking bridge when we get to it, do you guys know where their hideout is?" Julian asked his next inquiry being very important in just how much the location could affect things.

"Its not that far man, its some old fucking dusty ass mine deep in the region" one of J rocs group piped up, a bald redguard man who went by the nickname of mr green.

"I think thats the Embershard mine thats he's talking about Julian, thats only half a fuck'n hour away from here" Bubbles said to the Breton who had by now halfway formulated a plan to solve the current situation at hand.

"Well since its close by why don't go over there today and see if we can sort out some sort of an arrangement concerning Rickys necklace" Julian declared laying out the planned schedule for all to know."That good with you guys, Rick?" Julian said directing his question not just at J roc and his posse but his Nord friend as well given much of it centered around the latter.

"Its all good with us we could also set up some future deals with, so it all works out know what I'm saying" J roc replied demonstrating to the Breton he was in.

"You good with this plan Rick?" Julian asked.

"As long as it gets the fucking necklace back I don't care how its done" Ricky responded bluntly wanting to have this current situation over and done with.

"Great then, I'm gonna need ya to get us some things for we can pull of this trade" Julian said as he had just the thing in mind for the offer on their end

"Okay what do you want me to grab" Ricky replied curious as to what he was asking.

"I need you to go back and get the plants in your wagon" Julian asked the Nord which given the latters furious facial expression was beyond evident how he felt on the matter.

"No fucking way Julian!, I worked way too hard on getting this dope operation underway to just hand it to a bunch of assholes!" Ricky angrily retorted a vein pulsing very openly on his forehead.

"Ricky what else do you think we're gonna offer, you wanna start selling our equipment huh the fucking shit we need to survive out there!" Julian yelled back at him getting mad at the latters lack of cooperation in the well thought out plan he had made for the ungrateful Nord.

"Well can't we go sell something else why does the weed I'm growing have to be the first fucking option!" Ricky replied frustrated feeling of anger building up within him at the thought of parting with that which he held quite dear to him.

"For fuck sakes Ricky we sold most of the stuff we had at the trader" Julian argued back jogging Rickys memory regarding why there was a lack of valuables to sell.

"Well maybe I can borrow some of the fucking coin you guys are hoarding to help pay for something to trade" the Nord demanded something which infuriated the Breton further.

"Fuck no your not taking any of the gold me and Bubbles are saving up, its not my fucking fault you wasted a bunch of yours on the plants" Julian explained pointing out to the latter much of his own former actions that had left him in this one way out dilemma. "Besides Ricky your the one who lost the necklace, so your responsible for getting it back understood?".

Ricky seeing that he had no more ground to argue back on conceded though his stubbornness continued to burn bright." Fine we'll sell the plants but if this doesn't work you owe me big time you dick" Ricky threatened his promise very clear about what would happen if things went wrong.

"Theres nothing to worry about because it will work I promise" the Breton replied very confident that everything would work out fine in his opinion. "Now I need you to go get the plants, you don't have to take all of em just a little more than half will do" Julian instructed to which the Nord reluctantly complied as he got up and walked to the door. "Make sure to meet us by the gate when you've got them" Julian said to Ricky just as the latter opened the front entrance and walked out back to his carriage.

"You think this will work Julian, I mean we don't know much about these guys hanging around a fucking dirty greasy mine" Bubbles queried his worries clear in what could potentially happen around a group of potentially dangerous hostiles.

"Like I told Ricky this is gonna work out for everyone, it has to" Julian replied his last points little speck of uncertainty not helping the anxiety within the Imperial. "J roc are you and the roc pile ready to head out to the gate?" the Breton asked the group who sat across from him.

"We're ready when you are Jules" J roc replied.

"Well then lets get going" Julian said as he and the group got up from their seats and went out the front entrance to the gate. Along the way they made a stop at Julians house where the latter equipped his armour plus his steel war hammer weapon. The Breton wanted to be well prepared in the event something went wrong such as in the case of a backstabbing which was something he knew could happen. He also collected Rickys fighting gear as well figuring the Nord would need ot for a potential showdown. Once they were done with this errand they walked to the gate and for a period of 15 minutes waited for a certain Nord to show up with the offerings in tow.

Ricky would eventually arrive at the waiting spot though he looked tired and stressed, the reason being evidently the bundle of plants he carried in his points all still being held upright contained in miniature pots.

"Man I hope I never have to lug these heavy bastards around like this again" Ricky moaned as he carefully put the plants down on the ground relieving his arms just briefly of their combined immense weight.

"Well you won't have to worry about carrying it cause the roc piles gonna take of that" Julian reassured as the J roc and group took several of the plants each into their arms, carefully holding it upright so that there was no spillage of the liquid contained within the pots.

The Breton then proceeded to hand the Nord his set of light armour plus the steel sword, "here I brought this you know just in case things go sideways" Julian explained as Ricky nodded and put on his gear as well as sheathed his sword.

Seeing that everyone seemed to all packed up and ready to go knowing their responsibilities Julian went through one last check over, "Everyone ready to go?" Julian asked.

"Don't need to ask us twice mafck we're good to go" J roc replied.

"Just making sure, you all good to head off Bubs?" Julian asked knowing that the latter held some doubts about this situation which could go off the rails given the unpredictability off it.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be, hopefully we'll be able to pull this fucking thing off" Bubbles responded still somewhat uncomfortable with going through with this but was for the most part on board with it.

"I'm glad I got your support on this buddy" Julian replied with a smile on his face as he patted the Imperial on the back. The Breton turned to Ricky who stood in agreement with him, knowing he didn't need to ask the Nord whether he was ready given his clear determination to get back the necklace for the mother of his child. With everything now all in the clear for them go Julian and co made their way to the main gate opening it up and walking through back onto an all to familiar road, one having been twice before traveled on by the group

Unbeknownst to the group hiding behind a pair of thick bushes was a familiar pair of village supervisors who had been watching and observing the group. Ever since they had accidentally overheard the suspicious and at times loud discussion outside an open window at J rocs house Randy and Lahey had been secretly tailing them and learning about the plan.

"Well well well, seems the boys are going out to engage in some illegal business" Lahey said his tone taking on a very malevolent manner.

"You think we should try put a stop to it" Randy queried wondering what the best course action was to deal with in this situation.

"On contrary Randy let them do their shady little deal, besides if they're involved in a criminal conspiracy with marauders and we just so happen to obtain evidence of it, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles could be in for quite some jail time" Lahey stated a smile beginning to form in the corners of his mouth as he began to see the pieces of a well awaited karmatic justice fall into place.

"They'll be gone for year Mr Lahey, it'll be a time of peace for everyone in the village" Randy remarked with excitement at the thought of not having to see any of those jerks again and what in his head it would mean for Riverwood. "Your a genius mr Lahey".

"Was there any doubt Randy, the shitty winds are starting to turn in our favour boy" Lahey said in a proud tone realising that that he had desired very much would come to fruition quicker than he expected. "Rickys day of reckoning is coming sooner than he'd think".


The group proceeded to trek on through the natural path, walking deeper and deeper into the greenery of the forest as they did. For the main trio it was somewhat a trip of nostalgia they were literally walking the same pathway they had taken from Helgen to Riverwood. This time though they were using the road for a different destination that was in between the prior locations. Eventually everyone arrived at a intersection where the path split into two with one way leading all the way back to Helgen and other led further into the forest towards a hillside where there destination lay in mind.

As expected they took the path that led to up to the hill , J roc and Tyrone leading in the front given they knew the way to the mines well as opposed to the trio who had never really ventured there. As they came within close proximity of the quarry destination the Wood elf turned to face the 3.

"I just wanna let you 3 white boys know that when we get there you let me do most of the talking" J roc requested something which was understood by all but one of the triumvirate.

"J roc I'm not fucking idiot why do I have to keep my mouth shout" Ricky scoffed taking what the wood elves words as a personal insult.

"Look I'm just gonna say this about these bandits, these mafuckas may be more reasonable but they ain't looking to make friends especially with strangers that look like you dog" J roc warned as they made there were closer.

"Ricky just listen to him alright, the sooner we can get this done the quicker things will be better back at home alright" Juliana advised took which Ricky complied with though he wasn't exactly thrilled.

"Whatever… lets just get this over with" Ricky muttered to himself.

The group eventually arrived at an open quarry where the wooden entrance lay sitting deep into the boulder and rock exterior of the hillside. Outside the entrance sat a wheelbarrow and directly above to the right of the very entryway was a beehive that upon closer inspection would become quite visible to the eye. Patrolling around the area was a couple bandits who upon spitting the group instantly yelled out various warnings to the seemingly strangers.

"Thats close enough!" One of the bandits a grey scale coloured Argonian warned loudly.

"Calm your tits Argar its just the J to the roc here to discuss some business brap!" J roc announced letting the now identified bandit that he was dealing with a familiar face.

"Is that really J roc?" one of the other bandits a Nord wondered very skeptically to himself.

Argar narrowed his slits at the loud sound figure who as he got closer was able to be more easily identified. "Its him alright" the Argonian confirmed.

"Talk about some welcome you know what I'm saying" J roc jokingly remarked as he walked up to the bandit patrol.

"My apologies for the cold reception, we've been taking a very cautious approach towards outsiders lately especially what with the state of things nowadays" Argar said apologetic towards the latter for his seemingly rudeness to someone he knew.

"Relax man its all just a misunderstanding" the wood elf responded making it clear there were no hurt feelings.

Argar simply nodded his head in appreciation before turning his head to rest of J rocs group, noting that out of the regular visitors there were a pair of unique individuals that were unknown to him. "I see you brought some very well armoured and prepared strangers with you J roc" Argar commented as he took in the sight of Julian, Ricky and Bubbles before him.

"You don't have to worry about them Argar I just brought them along to talk a deal with the big man" J roc said reassuring the Argonians concerns regarding the new people brought to the mine.

"J roc you know we don't usually allow people we don't know an audience with Shamac" Argar replied his hesitance clear what with the abiding by the policy of his group.

"It'll be alright these guys are all good, you got no worries with them" the wood elf said in defence of the 3 who stood silently though one of them aka a particular Nord was straining to speak.

The Argonian bandit looked at the trio and then back at the wood elf. "Well if you vouch for them personally… then it should be alright to allow them in" Argar answered before turning to the other bandits who he communicated with an arch of his head to the left." Remember though we'll be watching your backs so no funny business".

The guards allowed the group to walk up to the vertical mine entrance, passing through it and entering into the tunnels of the Embershard. From there they walked downwards deeper underground, all around them were endless dirt walls with various stones clustering in it. Various wooden beams could be seen on either side of the path still holding up the structure as it done for a very long time. Along the way the guards had to help them avoid certain traps the bandits had set up for intruders, one of which being a rock trap Ricky nearly walked to. Finally they had arrived at an opening to a larger set cavern, the opening to which had a newly constructed bridge built across from.

They proceeded to cross the bridge and from their walk down two sets of wooden stairs to reach the caverns floor. The cavern itself was quite enormous with the area split in half with a small river of water covering the left endlessly supplied by a small waterfall coming from the roof. On the right stood a campfire and not far from that sat two tables sat in the middle. Seated around these tables feasting on various meats and vegetables were more Bandits who appeared to be engaged in quite a meal.

"Shamac whats happening my man!" J roc greeted one of the bandits, an bald old Orc who from the looks alone appeared to be the leader given his set of steel armour plus his scars alone, one of them running across his eye.

"J roc" Shamac grunted as he returned the Wood elves enthusiasm with an immense brooding look, "who are the newcomers you've brought before me?" the Orc quizzed.

"These are the guys I told you about Ricky, Julian and Bubbles" J roc answered as he introduced the 3 with a gesture to the boss of the Bandits.

"Ricky, Julian and Bubbles huh…, I've heard much about you from the wood elf" Shamac said his gruff tone containing intrigue upon meeting the trio at last.

"And what exactly would your opinion of us be?" Bubbles asked nervously as he hoped that it wasn't a negative one given the intimidation he was feeling from the Orc.

"I find you three to be quite a pair of interesting individuals, the tales I've heard about your previous schemes and escapades are quite amusing as well as entertaining" Shamac said displaying his opinion to the trio who found his observation to be quite interesting given the analytical nature of it. "I hope that in the future we can do business" the bandit leader added something that surprised the triumvirate what with him showing his respect to them with his offer

"Well I'm glad that you think so highly of us I'm sure we could arrange a partnership at some point" Julian replied as he spoke on behalf of him, Bubbles and Ricky.

"Good, now I imagine you've come here on quite an important manner seeking me out, so please sit down and dig in" Shamac said his invite of sharing a meal being happily received by the boys plus J rocs group who sat down at the various empty seats on either side of the table. The three chowed down their on the various foods available to them at table from baked potatos to Mammoth steaks and even a cheeseroll.

"Shamac I have to say for a bandit your pretty fucking awesome guy" Ricky said complimenting the host of the dinner.

"Well I'm honoured you think so highly of me, thank you " Shamac responded accepting his thanks politely.

"Why can't the rest of the bandits be like you, most of them are fucked up especially the assholes up in the barrows" Ricky commented, his words gaining attention from Shamac who recognised something in them.

"So I've see you met their group, those cut throats are insult to our kind especially one piece of shit named Arvel the swift" Shamac insulted especially at the name he uttered which held a tone of pure venom at the very words.

"You'll be glad to know he's fucking dead, cocky fuckhead got himself killed by a trap" Ricky said to which Shamac in a rare moment broke his stoic deadpan with a laugh at the hilarity of the latters demise.

"A fitting end for a slimy bastard such as himself" Shamac replied.

"Yeah" Ricky said back with a smile of his own sharing in the humour of the moment, seeing that things had gone quiet Julian felt it was time to interject so as to get back to the matter at hand.

"We appreciate the generosity and all buts if its alright with you I wanted talk about why we're here in the first place" Julian said which caused the Orc to shift his attention from the Ricky to the Breton.

"Of course, tell me of your purpose here?" Shamac asked clearly engaged in what Julian had to say especially what with the urgency of it.

"Well the main reason here was that J roc sold you a sapphire necklace that originally belonged to my friend Ricky and we were hoping to trade it back to us" Julian explained to the Orc who took all the information.

"It would really great if you could give it back its really fucking important to someone I care about a lot" Ricky added showing his sentiment towards the piece of jewellery.

"Well I can see from words alone you must have quite an attachment to this item , I could be persuaded to give it back assuming of course you brought something to offer up in return" Shamac said his request being expected of course given the nature of the transaction.

"Alright how does half a dozen weed crops sound for ya" Julian stated as he made a glance over to the Roc pile who still had the plants in their arms having not partaken in the meal. He inclined his head towards the Orc while maintaining eye contact with them signalling for them to bring the plants to Shamac.

The Bandit leader hummed in thought as he looked over the plants, observing the condition of the plants health and how well grown it was while the trio watched on in nervous anticipation. Finally Shamac had arrived at his answer, "hmmm, I find it to be an adequate offering, I'll take the plants and in exchange I'll give you the necklace plus extra goodies".

The boys looked at each other in relief overjoyed that they would be able to carry out a deal, "fuck yes" Ricky muttered to himself in relief.

Shamac then turned his head to Argar who was seated, "go get the necklace from storage plus some of the extra stuff we got" the Orc asked of his Argonian underling who complied.

"Will do boss" Argar said as he made his way to a nearby lit tunnel that lead deeper underground, eventually he disappeared around the corner at the end of the pathway. Shamac then turned his focus back onto the group having something to bring up to them.

"Also I wanted as part of our deal to clarify some terms regarding future partnership" Shamac announced his request being addressed at the main speaking member of the triumvirate.

"Sure what do you have in mind" Julian responded eager to hear these so called terms.

"In any of your future schemes me and men will get a 30% share in all profits, that sound good with you" the Orc asked.

"I don't know man 30% is a little too taxing on our part, how about 25% it seems like a little more even and fair" Julian replied though Bubbles shot him an alarmed look at how the Breton was denying their very gracious and dangerous hosts request.

"Your not willing to go higher or lower on the cut?" Shamac questioned as he kept eye contact with the Breton who didn't break the stare keeping a calm gaze at the orcs brown eyes.

"I am, twenty five is what I'm only willing to go for" Julian said plain and simple as Bubbles started to become more anxious as he felt a panic attack start to rise within him. Ricky was too immersed in feeding to notice the precarious situation.

The boss of the bandits narrowed his glare to a menacing level before he made his reply. "You drive quite a bargain... but I'll accept, twenty five it is" Shamac replied as he offered his hand out to the Breton who shook it, signifying that the deal had been made. Just as they finished Argar had come back from the storage with a small sack.

"Here you are the goods are inside along with your 'prized' possession" The Argonian stated to the one of the trio Julian who upon being handed the sack gave it to Ricky to check over. The Nord opened it up and found that everything seemed to be in order what with containing the extra stuff involved in the deal, being several pieces of ore plus some ingots. Ricky was most delighted to see his necklace was there carefully placed in some fabric protecting it from the rest of the contents. Finally he had got back that which he stressed over for so long and now his worries were all over.

"I take it you 3 are satisfied with what you've got" Shamac noted as he looked them seeing their reactions.

"We are thank you so much Shamac" Bubbles said.

"No problem, I'm glad to have done business with you and that we have an understanding" the Orc replied accepting their thanks humbly as expected of his character.

From there the group waited for a while before they finished their meals and after they took their leave farewelling the bandits who they now had formed something ofan association with. The boys and the Roc pile made their way out of the mine and back into the world of Skyrim which at least in the current region they were in was reaching the stage of the evening. Relieved that every stress and worry they had gone through had turned to be all right they made their way back down the forest track to Riverwood. Little knowing that a certain duo had been trailing them the whole time and observing from a distance.


"Thank fuck I got this back, Lucys gonna be fucking thrilled!" Ricky exclaimed in excitement as he felt his spirits getting higher and higher somewhat literally after the joint he had taken. This combined with his new found relief had brought back much of his positivity.

"Thats all great dog but you and Julian owe me and T some major solids in the future for helping arrange this thang" J Roc said reminding the boys of the help he had been in influencing the bandits.

"Don't worry about it J roc I'll be sure to pay back some day" Julian added with a promise

"It better or I'm gonna be all up in your crib know what I'm saying" J roc replied.

"Man I don't about you guys but I think this days turned out pretty alright" Bubbles said to the group who stood in agreement with him, though unwittingly he would come to realise he had just jinxed him and the group. Suddenly what sounded like something crushing branches loudly could be heard coming to their left.

"Boys what the fuck was that?" Julian wondered in paranoia as he had feeling that something or rather someone was rapidly approaching towards them.

"Don't know man could be one of those fucking wolves out here, heard them bitches be around a lot in the area recently" Tyrone said as he kept his eyes trained on what he assumed to be the direction it came from. All of sudden the loud sound of a bush being stepped was heard immediately to the back left of them causing them to dart around to see who was causing the commotion. Facing the group stood the ever irritable Jim Lahey and his deputy supervisor Randy who were immediately met with glares of annoyance.

"Lahey what the fuck are you doing out here!" Ricky asked dumbfounded by the fact that they had come across the two.

The old supervisor ignored the Nord as he began to pace around the group in an unnerving manner, "having quite a day out here are we gentleman" Lahey quipped as he looked over the group, maintaining his focus particularly on Ricky and Julian.

"Jim what are you doing? huh what do you want" Julian demanded annoyed with the little tirade he knew Lahey was about to go on.

"What I've always wanted Julian to bring order and peace back to Riverwood, a peace that can only be brought about once everyone here especially Ricky over here is back in good old con college" Lahey ranted as he came to stop in his pacing standing just several feet away from the Breton.

"Don't you remember earlier you drunk lunatic I told you that I'm never ever going back to jail so guess what you can go fuck yourself right up the arse" Ricky insulted as he flipped of the old man who now directed his rant onto the Nord.

"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself shit worm" Lahey insulted.

"Yeah your in real fucking trouble now Ricky" Randy warned as he began to take part in the argument backing his partner.

"Randy why don't shut the big pie hole of yours and stick to doing what you know like piling on the burgers" J roc roasted his hilarious comment eliciting a laugh from the roc pile plus Bubbles who was laughing hard. Randy expression upon hearing this had begun to turn furious, as he was about to let out a hot reply when Lahey stopped him with a calming hand on his shoulder.

"All of you can laugh as much as you want but in the end I'm the one on the higher ground here, see... I know about your little illegal dealings out here" Lahey stated his revealing immediately putting a stop to the laughter or rather any positive emotion felt by the opposing side as they stood in shock. "Thats right I know you had a trade with the bandits and all about the items you got from them which are probably stolen".

Everyone began feel panic arise in them as they realised that Lahey knew all about the deal with Shamac and just what the implications may be if he happened to use said info in a way against them. "I think you know what I'm gonna say next, so now if you would be so kind hand over the illegally bought items" Lahey demanded gesturing to one who held the sack in this case being Ricky.

"You really think I'm just going to fucking give it to you" Ricky smirked with a mocking laugh at the thought of willing allowing the bitter supervisor to just take it.

"No Ricky its not what your not gonna do, its what you will do so hand, it, over" The elderly village supervisor said in a calm angry tone that signified how serious he was.

"Fuck you Lahey" Ricky responded showing his clear stance.

"Well if thats your choice, Randy!" Lahey ordered to which his deputy complied taking Ricky by surprise as he shoved him onto the ground and took the sack from him. Ricky jumped up and marched up to the two, he was about to unsheathe his sword when Julian stopped him.

"What are you gonna do, huh Ricky!" Lahey mocked feeling slight satisfaction in seeing the man who had aggravated him for so long humiliated. Ricky struggled to get out of the grip the Breton had held his hand in a tight grip, the Nord turned to face the Breton with fury though he was met with eyes that despite their bland gaze held a certain pleading look to them. "Looks like I'm the one who wins today boy, I hope you all enjoy your time here however much of it left you have" Lahey taunted as he and Randy proceeded to make their way back to the village.

As soon as they were out of sight Julian released Ricky tore his hand away as he stood shaking in now unleashed anger, heading over to the tree Ricky took out his sword and began to hack away at it in rage

"FUCKING DAMMIT I JUST GOT THE THING BACK AND NOW THAT OLD FUCKHEAD HAS IT!" Ricky roared in rage as he sliced off at the timber causing bark and all wood pieces to go flying.

"Ricky... Ricky calm down" Julian said trying to reassure the latter who he felt immense sympathy for in terms of how much shit he had went through.

"FUCK YOU JULIAN WHY DID YOU STOP ME I COULD HAVE TAKEN IT BACK!" Ricky yelled at Julian who he felt liking taking his anger on.

"Ricky you would have wound up hurting him or worse killing him, do you even know what would have happened if you did that!" Julian retorted in a less loud but just as angry manner. "You would have been thrown in jail for the rest of your life!".

"So what are you saying Julian huh just sit back and let the fucker use it for whatever fucked up reason so he can just put us in jail anyway!" Ricky shouted back pointing out how either way it went Lahey still seemed to manage to win.

"Ricky thats not what I'm saying at-" Julian responded being cut off by the far too angry to listen Nord.

"Forget this shit I'm going the fuck back home, Lucys probably wondering where the hell I am" Ricky said as he ran off into the distance ignoring the yells of his friends.

"Ricky!" Bubbles shouted

"Get back here Rick!" Julian yelled hoping he would listen. But it was all in vain the Nord had vanished off into the distance. It was now turn for the Breton to become enraged as he felt a combination of panic and anger build up inside of him. Julian let out a frustrated yell as he stared up at the sky with a mixture of emotions running through him. "How did it take one decision to lead to an absolutely fucked up day" Julian thought as he thought back to what led to this.

"What are we gonna do Julian I can't go back to jail, someone needs to look after my kitties!" Bubbles exclaimed worringly as he though of the wellbeing of his precious pets without him.

"Don't worry Bubbles we're gonna figure something" Julian replied his half measure comment doing little to soothe the very panicky Imperial.

"What can we do Julian that cocksucker has physical evidence of us related to breaking law, we're gonna wind up back in jail" Bubbles proclaimed as he felt dreadfully in his mind what the likeliest think to happen was gonna occur.

"Bubs we're not gonna go to prison, I swear to the gods I'm gonna find a way and we'll get it done" Julian swore to the latter who given the graveness of the situation was having trouble believing.

"What about us Jules you gonna help us out?" J roc queried as he and the Roc pile looked at the Breton with clear nervousness.

"J roc I'm sorry for getting you and Roc pile involved in all shit, you guys can go if you want you've done enough for us" Julian replied guilt clear in voice as he looked at the group.

"What about you Julian you sure you don't need any help" Tyrone asked as he felt worry for the Breton who seemed to now take hold of the situation, putting all the blame on his shoulders.

"I got you into this mess T, its only fair I get you and rest out of this" Julian said to the latter who accepted his answer though only reluctantly.

"Well we're around if you need back, but for now peace out Jules" J roc said to the latter in a farewell manner alongside his group to Julian and Bubbles. After they had left Julian and Bubbles now stood alone in the forest which was starting to darken now with the sun halfway set, the dying rays casting a flickering glow in the greenery of the region.

"Do you have any idea what we're gonna do Julian?" Bubbles asked curious as to whether the Breton had one in mind.

"To be honest I don't know much buddy but I do know we need to get our stuff back, for all our sakes".


Meanwhile 10 minutes later Ricky had arrived back at Lucys house where he upon seeing Lucy immediately broke the news of what had happened to her. Needless to say she didn't have a very calm reaction to this, fortunately Trinity was having a nap in her bedroom which was tightly shut unable to hear the yelling.

"Please explain to me how the fuck you lost it to Lahey!" Lucy shouted beyond enraged he had a lost such a valuable to the village supervisor.

"Its not my fault Julians the one who stopped me from grabbing it back!" Ricky retorted defensively given in his mindset it had been others that had screwed up.

"I don't give a fuck who did this or that, Ricky you better a find a way to get it back" the blond woman demanded as her threats were starting to only make Nords anger increase tenfold.

"I will Lucy I fucking promise you I'll get it back" Ricky swore hoping it would satisfy Lucys furious demanding but it didn't given the harshness of her next reply.

"You'd better or I fucking swear I'll start reconsidering our relationship" Lucy replied before she turned and walked back to the bed room. Leaving Ricky to further stew in absolute fury as he took in the ramifications of what she had told him. He was struggling to hold in the sheer unstable rage caused by much of the unfortunate incidents that had happened today and now affected by his lovers harsh words. The Nord felt he had only option left to resolve this tidal wave of stress, guilt and anger affecting him.

It took him some time but he eventually found Lahey who appeared to be getting his lawn in proper order with some gardening tools.

"I want the fucking necklace back Lahey!" Ricky yelled to the old supervisor who looked at him with an apathetic stare.

"What necklace is that Ricky?" Lahey quipped with a nonchalant tone further enraging the Nord.

"You know what necklace I'm talking about asshole" Ricky said as he went right up close to the old man in a threatening manner, "I'll kill you in 3 seconds if you don't give it back" the Nord warned.

Lahey for the most part remained completely calm as he kept his stare at the clearly enraged individual in front of him, the elder supervisor saw a way to manipulate the situation. "You must want this piece of jewellery desperately don't you Ricky" Lahey stated.

"What the fuck are you talking about you dick, you fucking around with me?" Ricky said wondering just what the point was that Lahey was rambling about.

"I'll make you deal Ricky if your out of here by 9:00 tomorrow I'll deliver this item personally back to your family, if not well you can kiss it goodbye because you'll never fucking see it again" Lahey said laying down his offer to Ricky. The Nord as you'd expect didn't accept the offer what with his pride refusing to allow the old supervisor any sense of victory.

"Are you blackmailing me, remember Lahey what comes around is all around" Ricky threatened though he had unwittingly butchered the saying of his main point. As he finished his incorrect quote he began to make his way off the lawn.

"Don't you mean whats all around comes around Ricky" Lahey corrected causing the Nord to turn around with one last threat before he left.

"This isn't fucking over yet" Ricky said before he walked away from the old village supervisors property.

"Don't forget it was you who started this shitstorm, stupid" Lahey mocked as Ricky walked further and further into the distance.


Currently over at the homestead of Julian he and Bubbles were still trying to come with a plan to get the sack of goods back from Lahey. Though to no success given they had tried to think of various complicated ways to achieve it with all having major flaws and holes that would ensure a high chance of failure in terms of affecting risk. Suddenly they heard several knocks at the door, after the resounding bangs were made a familiar voice belonging to their friend could be heard.

"Julian its Ricky here, just letting you know that I've thought about this and feel I have no other option but to break into the bastards house to get it back" Ricky spoke to the two who instantly became alarmed by the latters announcement. They both knew how horribly wrong a plan coordinated by Ricky could go what with his lack of precautions or planning ahead taking quite a factor in it.

"Anyways just wanted to let you know" Ricky commented making his last point before from the sounds of the loud footsteps outside could be heard walking. Knowing they had to stop the Nord from attempting this crazy plan, they ran up to the door opening it quickly and went up to Ricky who had only traveled some distance.

"Ricky wait up!" Bubbles crowed as he ran up the Nord who turned to look at his two friends.

"What do you guys want, don't try telling me your gonna talk me out of it cause I am" Ricky hotly responded refusing to let him just to stand by.

"Ricky we not gonna stop you, believe me we want the same fucking thing, just it has to pulled off smoothly" Julian relayed to his best friend who looked at him now with understanding.

"Well tell me Julian you think you can get it done without bullshit coming back at us?" Ricky asked curious as to whether the man with a plan did indeed have one in mind.

"Well I do have an idea buts its a pretty fucking risky one" Julian answered to Ricky who nodded his head to indicate that he was willing to hear it. The Breton proceeded to explain the plan to Ricky who despite being irritated with much of the similarities to his original plan agreed to go along with for the sake of getting back the necklace. With the Nord convinced everything appeared to be in place.

From there the trio made their way all the way to the Lahey and Randys place of residence. Which also in the Whiterun housing system functioned as the household for those who held the role of supervisor of the particular village. Night had now fallen with the first signs of the moon peaking above, its glows sending its pale light on the settlement as well as the trio who stood in the street metres away from the house. It was unnerving for them to be so close to the lions dens what with all the bad blood between them and the old supervisor but they had no choice now but to take back what was rightfully theirs.

"All right you guys just stay here, I'm going in alone" Julian said.

"Why don't you just let me do this, its no big deal" Ricky argued believing he could be to enact the plan.

"Ricky stay here, sit down and don't move okay" Julian ordered knowing that it was in the best interest that the Nord stayed behind wit Bubbles to make sure that everything went according to their plan.

"Don't talk to me like I'm a fucking dog, sit, stay all the bullshit" the Nord responded letting a loose a hotheaded remark that started to anger the already tired out Breton.

"Ricky I'm not in the mood" Julian growled.

"Just say that I can do this" Ricky pressed something which added to Julians frustration.

"No" he replied plain and simple.

"Just admit that I can do this" Ricky stated furthering his pressed point to the Breton who just sighed in annoyance at what he was about to say.

"You might be able to do this" Julian replied, "now just stay here all right" the Breton said with a very grumpy tone which luckily for him Ricky would comply to.

"Alright fine just hurry up" Ricky said.

"Don't worry we got your back Julian" Bubbles piped up in support something which Julian appreciated as he sent a simple nod of thanks back.

"All right Bubbles you go around and watch the back, I'll watch the front" Ricky said to the Imperial who obligated the order and made his way to the backside of the house.

Seeing that everyone was in position Julian made his way to the right side of house where the side door could be seen further down the wall side. As the Breton expected it was locked though he wasn't worried as he came prepared with some lock picks he had found during the week courtesy of left over stuff from Cory and Trevors stay. The first attempt to pick the lock failed and the tool shattered much to his frustration, the second though was successful as he managed to unlock the door. Julian made sure to open it quietly and once it was wedged wide enough open slipped inside silently.

He made his way down a narrow hallway at the end of which stood a door, behind it could be the sounds of much shuffling. Julian really really did not want to go in but circumstances were what they were and so he went for the knob. Upon forcing the door open he was met with a sight that left his jaw hanging in surprise. Lahey and Randy appeared to be dressed up in very interesting clothing. The old man was wearing a dress plus a wig whilst Randy had a strange black mask with holes peaking out where the eyes and mouth would be. The two of them were engaged in a very 'sensual' activity.

"Lahey?, Randy?" Julian asked in complete confusion as he began to piece together what was going on.

The two upon realising they weren't alone quickly stopped what they were doing and stood up in shock of being discovered.

"I'm not Randy" Randy said trying a low voice tone to fake his identity given the extreme humility of the situation.

"I'm not Lahey" the old supervisor said in a very exaggerated high feminine voice to conceal who he was to Julian.

"Guys I know its you, whats going on here?" the Breton stated which caused all pre-tense that they could get away with hiding the whole thing to vanish.

"JULIAN NOT A FUCKING WORD ABOUT THIS!" Randy shouted as he in rage attempted to march up to the Breton being halted by his superior supervisor.

"I don't know what your doing here Julian but I want you to leave now before I get the guards involved" Lahey threatened Julian who stood his ground now feeling confident that he could take control of the situation especially now with what he learnt about the two.

"Your not gonna be telling the guards alright Lahey, see heres whats gonna happen I'm gonna take the sack back along with all the stuff that was originally in it" Julian said strictly to the elderly Nord who stood in disbelief of what the Breton was saying to him. "In return I'm gonna give you guys my word I'm not gonna say anything about this to anyone" Julian said to the two village supervisors who began to feel fear towards what may happen if people learnt about their particular closeness towards one another.

"Please don't tell anyone about this this is our first time" Randy pleaded hoping to appeal to Julian good side.

"I- I don't know what you thinks going on here b-but Randy and I were just practicing for a play in the Whiterun" Lahey lied as he delusional wise tried to remain in control of the situation despite how obviously he wasn't given his repetitive stuttering.

"Lahey, Lahey I'm not judging anyone alright" Julian soothed as he let the old supervisor know that he saw nothing wrong with him and Randys now revealed romance between them.

"Please don't tell people about this" Randy begged vulnerability evident in his tone which made Julian feel guilty given he never wanted to hurt anyone.

"I won't as long as you keep your word" Julian said directly to both Randy and Lahey who both meekly nodded in a complying answer given how the humility of the situation was affecting them. Seeing that he now had both of them in agreement the Breton walked over to the table which had the sack resting on top. Julian grabbed and proceeded to do a check over of it to see if everything was there, which it was. Sparing one last glance back at the two supervisors he made his way back out the way he came.

It was still shocking to him what he had just found out, he had always known the two were close but he never imagined they held such feelings for one another. "The things you learn about people, its gonna be tough to keep this a secret" Julian remarked in his thought space as he walked out the side door shutting it behind him. The Breton made his way over to the front where Ricky stood alongside Bubbles, the Nord clearly feeling impatient given his next comment.

"What the fuck took so long?" Ricky demanded wanting to know what happened.

"Had some complications getting in, that good enough for you Rick" Julian quipped to which the man rolled in his eyes in response.

"Whatever did you manage to get the sack" Ricky queried anxious to know if he did given it was hard to see Julian in the shadow of the house. The Breton lifted up the bag of items to clearly show that he did.

"Fuck yeah!" Ricky yelled thrusting his arm through the air in triumph that everything had now turned back to their favour.

"Boys I don't want to interrupt the celebration but we should probably get the fuck out of here" Bubbles interjected bringing up the fact that they should leave the area. Fortunately for the Imperial the rest of the triumvirate felt the same as he did and quickly left the area.


Following their retaking of the items the triumvirate split up to carry out 3 different tasks regarding covering up their tracks and bringing a conclusion to the event of the day. Julian went to go inform the J roc, Tyrone and the rest of the roc pile that they had nothing to worry about, given any case Lahey could bring to court regarding the dealings with the bandits was ruined. Needless to say they were all relieved by said news. Ricky took the necklace back to his home returning it back to Lucy who rewarded him with a thanks and long make out session plus a little extra special time. Bubbles sold the ingots plus whatever other ore supplies were in the ingot to Alvor who promised to keep quiet about the origin of the not so legally gained materials. The Imperial of course trusted this given his long time friendship with the man and his family who all held a fondness for the trio.

With the conundrums of the necklace finally dealt with at long last, the trio decided in celebration of having bested the odds and avoided potentially going to jail they would end the night having a fun time at the sleeping giant inn. The inn itself was quite a cosy place what with the fire inside keeping the main room nice and warm. Combined with the blissful music played by the bards and the various conservations made by other villagers the boys found the place to be amazing as they waited seated at the table for their bought meal.

"Nothing fuck'n beats this boys, a nice fucking meal by the fire with great friends" Bubbles said as he basked in the enjoyment of the moment which felt particularly rewarding after a really stressful day.

"You said it buddy" Julian added in agreement as he felt much the same as he did.

"Man I just wanna say to you guys thanks for all you've done for me, I appreciate all the shit you guys do for me, I know I don't say it enough" Ricky complimented something that immensely humbled both Julian and Bubbles who knew it was rare for Ricky to do such praises but were happy to hear since it meant a lot coming from him.

"You don't need to thank us thats what fucking friends are for man" Julian said as he patted him on the back which the Nord accept happily with a smile.

As they waited for the food to arrive a familiar Nord walked into the inn and made his way over to the boys.

"Hey boys" Alvor greeted the trio as they all turned to face the man.

"Hey Alvor" Julian and Bubbles both replied with the same greet.

"Hey man how the fuck are ya?" Ricky said.

"I've been alright, business has been doing well at the forge" the middle aged Nord responded being particularly open about how well he had been doing regarding his occupation. "What about you 3, how have you been after such a tough day?" he asked with curiosity given all he heard in brief quotes from Bubbles.

"Tough is a fucking understatement after all the shit we went through" Julian joked as he thought back to how tiring the past how many so hours had been.

"I bet" Alvor laughed for a brief second before he turned back to a more stoic manner, "listen I need to talk to all of you about something" the Blacksmith inquired in a more serious tone then normal gaining their immediate attention.

"What is it?" Bubbles asked interested in what the Nord had to say.

"Before Hadvar left he wanted me to deliver a message to the Jarl Balgruuf concerning the return of the Dragons, unfortunately I've been unable to go to Whiterun given how busy its been at the forge" Alvor said to triumvirate who all sat in anticipation of the main point he was about arrive at."I wanted to ask if you, Julian and Ricky could go in my stead to the city to warn the Jarl".

"Well thats depend are you willing to pay us?" Ricky asked bluntly in a very rude demanding way that quickly set of his two other friends.

"Ricky don't be selfish man he's done enough for us, its only fair that we do him a favour" Julian chastised as he reminded the latter of all that the blacksmith had helped them with across their life, Ricky especially.

"C'mon we're going on a trip all the way to the fucking city we should get some shit out of it" Ricky argued back displaying his narrow perspective of being owed for hours spent doing what others wanted,

"No we don't Rick" Julian shot back as he gave the Nord a warning glare to curb his anger which only served to intensify Rickys stubborn nature.

"Look I'll even be willing to lend you my horse for free, it'll be a shorter trip with the carriage" Alvor said placing his offer at the table in a somewhat literal fashion given they were sitting at one. "So do you want to go?".

"We'll be glad to accept your offer" Bubbles answered on behalf of the group before Ricky could get another word in.

"Splendid!, well now that thats all settled I hope all the best for your trip, may the divines watch over you" Alvor addressed the trio in a goodbye manner before he turned and left the inn.

Once he left Ricky turned to Julian and Bubbles with an expression of annoyance, "why do you guys have a problem with me asking for what, a little bit of fucking coin".

"Well for one thing Ricky you were being a bit of an asshole and two think about it we're going to the capitol of the fuck'n region itself, the city of opportunity, I imagine there will quite some opportunities to make quite a lot of coin" Bubbles stated to the somewhat convinced Ricky though he still had some frustration stewing within him.

"I hope there is" the Nord commented as his thoughts now turned to a city he hadn't been to in years.

"Don't worry there will be" Julian said to Ricky who started to calm as their food had now arrived at the table. The trio then began to dig in to the food which they enjoyed immensely, for them it was a fitting end to quite a day spent in quite a dilemma.


Meanwhile in another part of Skyrim a black dragon landed on the ground near what looked to an old burial site for something. Were a certain trio back in Riverwood had seen the creature they would have recognised that it was the very same one that had attacked Helgen. Realising that it had in fact came to the destination in mind the dark dragon began to enact the purpose for which had travelled for. It began to chant in an ancient language largely unknown to mortals and known mainly among its kind.

These words of power began to take affect as the very ground began to shake as if there were an earthquake bellow the surface. A large reptilian skeleton began to emerge from the ground or rather claw its way out of the earth. The resurrected creature as it now fully basked in the outer world began to regrow its layers of flesh which would take up a certain amount of time. The black dragon had reached the end of his chanting by the point that the now fully formed dragon had regrown his flesh exterior. He ended the chant with a name, one which he would address his newly risen servant as, the dragon he would unleash on the people of the land to spread devastation and death. Mirmulnir.

To Be Continued


Looks like things are starting heat up with the rise of a new threat for the trio and Skyrim as a whole. That was quite a chapter to write what with all the new and old recurring factors to address in it. It was great to bring back J roc and his group which are always fun to write for in terms of their dialogue. They also helped introduce a certain Bandit group, which as I'm sure you've noticed contained some original characters of mine added to the story in the form of Argar and his leader Shamac. What I found to be quite awesome writing was the conflict between the boys and Lahey who as opposed to prior chapters where he only had limited interactions acted as a real antagonist to them in this. The old man really pressed them into a corner during this one and they were lucky to get out of it. It was interesting to write in the revelation that Randy and Lahey had closer relationship than the boys originally thought, it was good to finally be able implement the canon reveal of it into the crossover. Things look to be going in quite a unique direction what with our favourite trio heading to Whiterun where we'll start to see the main quest of the game come more into play in this series. I also wanted apologies regarding this slightly later than expected upload which I feel disappointed in not finishing on the dot on new years. I underestimated the sheer length of the chapter. Aside from that I hope you've really enjoyed the chapter and look forward to the next part of the story. See you next time everybody.
