Chapter 2:The Caravan, Training, and Banditry
"The Elder Scrolls foretold their return after Oblivion, when sons of Skyrim spilled their own blood. But unknown to many a great merger will be made by unknown powers from Nirn, but the hope remains for the one that they fear and allies from those beyond Nirn for the one shall join together. The world of Nirn and beyond will cheer his name for he is Dovahkiin the Dragonborn." -Script from unknown excerpt
15th of Last Seed
'I think it's going to be those days.' Jacob thought quietly as he and Mateo were riding on their horses, Olivia and Makayla were on driver front of the carriage. But with ten of their new visitors, Luz is riding with Jacob, Willow Park riding behind Mateo. The twins Emira and Edric Blight have to ride on the roof of the carriage, and Gus Porter and Skara have to ride on the sides of the carriage with Olivia and Makayla. Luckily with spare wood and nails, both nords made temporary seatings. The rest are inside the carriage.
'I think Sheogorath has something to do with this.'
This morning Luz told the four adventurers of Tamriel that she came from a human only realm but advanced. She then entered a realm by a magical door to a realm where the nine witches came from called the Boiling Isles.
'Well guess we are the first to discover that the nine witches with us are considered a type of humanoid species' he thought about it. A bad start at first since Tamriel witches are hostile and can be turned into Hagravens.
And let me tell you… it wasn't pretty before leaving for Cyrodiil.
Flashback
"Mateo grab my sword!"
"Jacob no!"
After a quick explanation of Tamriel versions of witches to the Boiling Isles witches. They understand and with the help of Olivia give a visualization on Hagravens with her magic which are considered hostile.
"So this Eda teaches you magic but you draw glyphs but the witches draw magic from a bile sac attached to their hearts?" Olivia asked Luz.
"Weird but magic here in Tamriel is everywhere. Everyone can do it but some prefer simple sword and shield, daggers, you know basic weaponry." Mateo added.
The journey from when they started wasn't so bad. Well except that they encounter something different.
"Hold on, is that a Khajiit caravan?" Makayla asked.
"Khajiit? What is a Khajiit?" Luz questions.
"Cat folk, hail from the desert sands of Elsweyr." Olivia answered.
The carriage came to a halt, then Jacob, Mateo, Olivia, Willow, Luz, and Gus hopped off and walked towards the Khajit merchants.
"Hello there, what seems to be the problem." Jacob asked.
"This one greets you and your companions. Though this one requires help." A black furred Khajiit.
"You see these caravan scouts encounter a cave that holds bandits along this trail. Unfortunately there are many and these ones are not."
"How many are camped in the cave?" Jacob asked.
"This one believes about ten bandits but two are mages."
"We will help you." Jacob said, turning back to the party "get everyone together."
Short time skip
A chest is placed in front of the witches and human girl as Jacob, now wearing his traditional banded iron armor and shield along with a iron sword and a dagger at his side, opens up to see it is filled with weapons that any warrior appreciates.
"The Khajiit caravan has given us a quest. And a chance to prove yourselves. The lands of Skyrim is a harsh place for the unprepared." Jacob explains as he grabbed a few pieces of armor, which are leather, iron, and hides.
"Like any fighter, the armor you wear or weapons you use is the matter of life or death."
And so began the training, luckily the khajiit caravan didn't give the Helios party a time limit on the quest. From the caravan's scouts, the bandits are holed up for a while but the scouts will give more details for any changes.
There are few interesting details that the four people of Tamriel learned. Starting off with magic which Olivia leads them to.
Boscha knows some alteration spells before coming to Tamriel, but she is well versed in alchemy and Skara is using bard magic. Which is in use in Tamriel but in a small margin, Olivia is willing to teach them Tamriel versions of their skill sets. Emira, Edric, and Gus are willing to learn the Tamriel version of illusion spells. Cat is learning Tamriel healing spells for both self and for others. Luz wants to learn all magic but needs to learn the basics. Willow and Amelia begin learning alterations spells.
Mateo and Jacob now help them with armor and weapons.
Though short on materials, luckily with the caravan, both Nords have managed to make enough leather armor for them.
Also on weapons well… due to the things they are going to experience (blood and killing) Makayla suggests on staffs and daggers for time being. So with training with staff and daggers for emergencies, the party is ready.
And now, to begin the quest.
Outside of the cave the bandits have settled in. Two bandits are on guard duty.
"Hey."
"Yeah."
"Do you wonder why we're here?"
"Life or spirituality?"
"I mean here on guard duty."
"Oh, guess the boss wants us to keep out intruders."
"I mean why us, we were supposed to be guarding the prisoners we found with their strange creatures."
"I rather not, that yellow skeever the kid has knocked out Morris with electricity but doesn't seem to kill him."
"Yeah he was stunned for hours by then."
Before the other could respond next, both heads were grabbed and slammed into each other and both bandits collapsed on the ground.
"Thanks Olivia." A shimmer appears as Jacob fades in.
"No problem, still, you heard what the two said." Olivia said with concern.
"I know, everyone, we got prisoners in the cave so keep an eye on the leader, they have a key for the cells."
The party for the quest consists of Jacob, Mateo, Olivia, Makayla, Luz, Amity, Willow, Edric, and Boscha.
The rest will act as a second wave and in case any bandits attempt to flee.
Entering into the cave, the party sees some torches lighting the tunnel leading down.
Traveling down, Luz spoke to Jacob. "Hey Jacob, I was wondering, what kind of necklace are you wearing around your neck?"
"Oh, you notice, you see this is the amulet of Mara the goddess of Love, it was a gift from my mom."
"Really?"
"And also he's wearing it so it also symbolizes that he's looking for a girlfriend." Mateo said, teasing the leader who gave him a hard glare.
"Mateo…"
"What, after three years from home to Cyrodiil no girl came to you."
"By the nine and eight shut up!"
The others look on at the bickering nords and continue on. And both nords have ended their quiet argument. Though unaware the amulet on Jacob started to glow but came unnoticed.
The party then enter an open area, they see three bandits, one working on the forge and the other two mining on a corundum vein.
"Olivia now." Jacob whispers and Olivia casts a paralysis spell.
The two working on the vein were paralyzed. And the one on the forge notices but is knocked out by the leading Nord with his shield.
"We'll collect the loot once we're done." Jacob spoke to the current group.
Tying up the three with rope that's leftover. With five remaining they enter deeper with torches lighting their way in.
As they delve deeper they enter a quite surprising open area with cages for prisoners on the far left to the party and smaller ones for creatures and at the center are the remaining bandits. Two mages, one bowman, and axe wielders. But to the party surprise there are about five more people but they wear some kind of armor with strange iron pieces by their hips.
"Didn't the Khajiit say there will be ten bandits…" Olivia said in concern.
"Hey! Who the fuck are they?!" One of the armored bandits shouted. He had a strange hairstyle that was spiked in a mohawk being the color of green, face dirtied and he lifted up a strange weapon to the Helios Party, handheld and a long barrel that gave Jacob in particular a tense feeling.
"Great it's bad enough we got the kids and their beasts now we got a couple of interlopers Morris stopped them!" A blue cloak mage shouted.
"You heard him attack!" The axeman Morris shouted.
"Help us!" A kid with some kind of red hat shouted. "Pika!" A yellow creature made sounds.
"Shut the fuck up brat!"
"Makayla, go to the cages and set the kids free. We'll deal with them. Hope you are all ready and remember your training." Jacob spoke to his party who nodded as well as the witches and human from the isles had their magic and weapons out.
"Death or Sovngarde charge!" Helios screams a battle cry.
Helios blocked a few arrows from the bowman and attacked Morris. But members were caught off in great surprise as the loud bangs rang out, then Luz realized what it was and cried out in warning to her group. "Careful! It's a gun!" Makayla makes her way to the cages, quirk her bow but yelps as she ducked out to avoid several shots. "What in Stendarr's name is a gun?!"
Thankfully their wielders were less ideal marksmen. "Haha! Come on is that all you go-" The strange armored raider was caught off by Jacob's sword slicing into his hand before giving an upwards slash that took off his head. "Grrh!" He barreled into the limp body that threw it into the others, giving him the chance to close distance.
"Find some cover!" Amity summons an abomination and Edric, using a staff, takes on the other axeman. "Whoa!" The Abomination charged right into the bandit, his charge halted that turned into a retreat from the now pursuing Abomination on his tail. "AHHH!" He screams out while running as fast as he can.
Luz, Olivia, and Willow are dealing with the two mages. Both enemy mages combined their spells to create a large wave of flames at them.
"Behind me!" Olivia shouted as Willow and Luz moved behind her as she created a barrier.
"Damn it all to obliv-" the first was cut off as Jacob used his Templar training and conjured a Aedric spear and threw at the mage striking at his chest and collapsed on the ground.
"Willow!" Luz shouted as she placed a plant glyph and Willow created a glowing circle and vines erupted out the ground and entangled the mage and one unlucky raider with a Molotov.
Mateo is rushing towards the bowman as he shrugged off a few arrows. And used a spell he had and called forth a familiar. A ghostly wolf appears and charges at one of the other armed raiders who is desperately trying to load a shotgun but got her throat ripped from the wolf.
"Shit! We are getting fucked by these mother fuckers!"
Makayla is pick locking the cages where the kids are in and Boscha occasionally throw potions to help her allies with healing and distracting the enemies with smoke bombs.
In a span of a couple of minutes, the battle has won for the Helios party.
Moments later
"Damn you all to Oblivion…" The mage cursed as he was dragged by a Khajiit caravan guard.
"This one thanks you and your party for this matter. You are welcome to come by anytime if you have come to sell. Though this one apologizes for the misinformation on their numbers."
"It's no problem at least bandit activity is lowered in the area for the time being." Jacob said.
"Also we got some loot from the bandits weapons and the chest and large bag we found and don't forget the ores." Mateo said, patting the green duffel with the loot of bandits and from the raiders.
"And thank you for saving us." A girl with blue hair with a small blue horker like creature by her thank them. The kids and their creatures are with the reunited party.
"That reminds me who the kids are by the way?" Makayla asked.
"Oh yeah." The red cap boy remembered. "My name is Ash, this is my partner Pikachu." Motion to the yellow skeever-like mouse. "These are my friends Lillie, Mallow, Lana, Sophocles, and Kiawe."
"Alola." They greeted me.
"Alola?" Luz asked.
"Hey Jacob, what chance did you get to get hooked on these girls?" Mateo spoked out, causing the party to look at him then to Jacob with the few girls forming small blushes.
"By the gods shut your mouth Gray-Helm!"
