Thanks, neil and Sis! Heh. Since I didn't know what anything was to begin with, I'm hoping I get to find out eventually.... |

68 - ....and now.... I’m wondering.... Thinking back.... we’d had a vampire problem in Morthal. One that g’ma took care of. Slanting her a glance, I said soberly, “Are you - thinking this could be about Movarth and his coven, and.... Alva?” She nodded. “Movarth was quite - accomplished. He kept himself and his people in that cave halfway from here to the Manor, for a very long time - over a century according to Aunt Idgrod. And somehow, in all her time as Jarl, she never realized he was still - alive in some way - and living right next door. And certainly, I “killed” him. However, I may not have done a very good job of it....” “Um. You mean you didn’t use a silver weapon, and put a stake through his heart.” “Right. I didn’t really know.... about vampires. At the time....” “Has anyone been in that cavern since you were last?” “I don’t know. No one’s said anything. You know, don’t you, that Hroggar’s still alive?” “I didn’t. It never occurred to me to ask about it. He’s not still living here....” “No. He moved to Karthwasten, went back to mining. He’s older than I am, so it’s likely he’s not mining any more. With his wife and daughter, and Alva, dead - well, there wasn’t much for him here. And people were.... not happy....” “Not surprisingly. Well. I guess I’ll have to take a ride out there in the next day or so. And then, maybe go talk to Hroggar.” I bit a hangnail as I thought over the possibilities. “Do you think that Bal would be looking for Movarth? And if so, why would he?” “There was always a tale that Movarth Piquine was a Volkihar through his mother. Most didn’t believe it - thought it was just a story. But.... if true....” Oh hells. |

Yeah. That one kind of came out of left field. But really - you have to look at Tier (she's not a raving beauty - pretty, but that's it), and the only thing Bal really could want would be the most gorgeous woman anywhere to subvert. Tier's not it. And sure, Bal would likely be more than pleased to tap into the High King.... but they're on top of that one, so it's not happening. As she said a while back.... something wicked this way comes.... |

Thanks, Sis! Yeah, rather too much sense in a way.... 69 - *sigh* Looks like time to grab Melki to go along I wandered around town until I saw him draped over a hay bale near the paddock. He saw me coming, straightened up, turned toward me and said, “Whatever it is you want to be doing, count me in! I’m fair bored....” Ah. What an opening! “Well. Some of our late troubles seem to be due to Molag Bal potshotting us - and g’ma thinks it might be due to her not knowing how to really ‘kill’ a vampire....” His brows flew toward his hairline. “Um. Sis. You’re not - you don’t....” “I do, and I am. Someone’s got to see if Movarth is still ‘alive’ - and deal with it if so. I’d like to have your support....” He grumbled. “Thought you was living in the High King’s pocket - why me?” I thought about planting a fist on his chin, decided it might become a bad habit, and chose to heave a huge sigh before explaining things in detail. “Oh. Well then. Alright sis. When shall we go?” “After I’ve had time to get the appropriate items - wooden stakes, silver weapons: greatsword for you, arrows for me; had them blessed by Naluna; and had time to think over whatever we can do to make sure we come out of this whole and sane. That work for you?” He nodded shortly. “Sis. Why us though? We could get the Companions - now they’re mostly clean of the were-taint, they’re good to help out with other things.... like this....” “Because this is on our family, brother mine. G’ma didn’t know you have to plan for really killing vampires. So she didn’t - we think - get it done all the way. So it’s on us to finish.” “Ah. All right. Are you - going to be nasty about running this show?” I arched eyebrows at him. “Mel, if you think of something I might not have, be sure you bring it up.” He flushed bright over his cheekbones, and mumbled “Well, sometimes you go off like a crossbow wound too tight....” I punched his chin after all. But lightly. |

Ooh, a Movarth connection. Nice! Any excuse to use a silver sword is a bonus, too! |

Well - except finding them isn't always easy.... probably have to go hunt up leftover Silver Hand or something.... And that reminds me of a pet peeve of mine since forever: they had this perfectly WONDERFUL opportunity to leverage the lunar steel weapons into something extremely useful against werewolves - and they didn't go there. |

Sounds like that could be the basis for a mod idea... I might have to give the CK a go sometime. |

70 - Silver weapons - gah, that could be a problem. I started with Brengar, the long-time smith. His son and daughter now ran the business, but starting with Bren made sense - he’d forgotten more than most of us would ever know about weaponry. “Bren, Mel and I have a vampire problem to deal with - which is like to need silver weapons. Greatsword for Melki, arrows for me, plus a dagger as a hideout weapon. Any ideas where to go about finding those?” He slanted me an amused glance. “Well now. There’s likely some around - maybe in the High King’s armory?” Then he guffawed. I’ll bet my face was about as red as it could be - did everyone in all of Hjaalmarch have to have fun at my expense these days? I shrugged, and grinned good-naturedly, waiting patiently until he’d finished his laughing. “Eh. Might not be any up to Palace anyway. Now let me think. When I was a boy, there was some on ‘em used silver swords against werewolves. What were they called? Hmm. Had silver in the name....” He muttered to himself a bit, then brightened. “Ah! Silver Hand they called themselves. Think they might have got wiped out by them Companions though....” Well, that was no help at all. “Wonder what happened to the weapons then?” “Huh. Good question. Melted down for joolry mebbe....” He looked off into space for a while, then turned back to me. “Tier, ye might ask yer granddam.... She knows things....” And so she does. So that’s where I headed next. Apparently she’d been expecting me. “G’ma - before we think about dealing with a still-living Movarth.... we’ll need silver weapons. Wooden stakes aren’t necessarily an issue - but I hope Naluna’s okay with blessing both of us, all the weaponry, the stakes, and parting with some holy water.” G’da walked in as I finished. They both looked thoughtful. Finally they looked at each other, grimaced, shrugged. I must have looked quite puzzled. “Tier. There’s silver weapons in Morthal’s treasury. If I’d known I needed them, we wouldn’t be dealing with this now perhaps. I - supposed Aunt Idgrod thought I knew what needed done. She didn’t ever say anything....” “She might not have known. The things she did know - well, they weren’t necessarily things like that.” “That’s true, Ger. Anyway, Tier. Here’s the key, just go get what you’ll need. Melki’s going along?” “Yes. He says he’s bored.” G’ma’s brows arched just like mine do. “Really. Well, when you two get done with Movarth, I’ll have to fix that for him.” I headed down to the safe room laughing under my breath. |
