Scene: Eldenwood
As the curtain rises, we see the misty labyrinthian
landscape of the legendary Eldengrove of Valenwood. All
around we hear wolves howling. A bloodied reptilian figure,
SCHIAVAS, breaks through the branches of one of the trees
and surveys the area.
SCHIAVAS: It's clear.
INZOLIAH, a beautiful Dark Elf mage, climbs down from
the tree, helped by the barbarian. There is the sound
of footsteps nearby. Schiavas readies his sword and Inzoliah
prepares to cast a spell. Nothing comes out.
INZOLIAH: You're bleeding. You should have Dolcettus heal
that for you.
SCHIAVAS: He's still drained from all the spells he had
to cast down in the caves. I'm fine. If we get out of
this and no one needs it more, I'll take the last potion
of healing. Where's Malvasian?
MALVASIAN, a High Elf battlemage, and DOLCETTUS, a
Cyrodiil healer, emerge from the tree, carrying a heavy
chest between the two of them. They awkwardly try to get
down from the tree, carrying their loot.
MALVASIAN: Here I am, though why I'm carrying the heavy
load is beyond me. I always thought that the advantage
of dungeon delving with a great barbarian was that he
carried all the loot.
SCHIAVAS: If I carried that, my hands would be too full
to fight. And tell me if I'm wrong, but not one of the
three of you has enough magicka reserved to make it out
of here alive. Not after you electrified and blasted all
those homunculuses down below ground.
DOLCETTUS: Homunculi.
SCHIAVAS: Don't worry, I'm not going to do what you think
I'm going to do.
INZOLIAH (innocently): What's that?
SCHIAVAS: Kill you all and take the Ebony Mail for myself.
Admit it -- you thought I had that in mind.
DOLCETTUS: What a perfectly horrible thought. I never
thought anyone, no matter how vile and degenerate --
INZOLIAH: Why not?
MALVASIAN: He needs porters, like he said. He can't carry
the chest and fight off the inhabitants of Eldengrove
both.
