chapter thirty four
As the group surrounded fort dunstad from both entrances they prepared to launch their assault. There were two entrances into the fort the group planned to split off into four units one group taking one end the other taking the other end and once the sun was at its peak they launched their assault upon the unsuspecting fort.
( Ground Team )
Severin, Gila, Salazar, and Lianya while the others took care of the outside of the fort, Severin and Gila climbed up on the towers on either side and picked off the bandits from the high ground as Lianya and Salazar took out the bandits in front of them while the other three splinter groups stormed the Fort Dunstad prison, the main building, and the tavern that was named The Stumbling Sabercat. Severin and Gila focused on the walls providing cover fire for the group on the ground taking care of the archers that were along the walls meanwhile Salazar and Lianya rushed forward Lianya shooting a sun-hollowed arrow at the sun causing beams of sunlight to come raining down upon them while Salazar jumped from bandit to bandit slashing them to pieces with his twin falmer war axes. Seeing a bandit wielding an orcish war axe using detect to life Salazar rushed forward jumping over his sister and kicking the bandit into one of the spiked blockades impaling the man as a bandit-kebab. Gila shot two bone arrows from her glass bow of the stag prince taking out two bandits guarding the door to the main room and to the prison of the fort while Severin shot the one sneaking up around the tavern with his daedric crossbow dropping him just before he could backstab Salazar with a dwarven dagger. After a few moments Liana shot a ice arrow up into the air at the tower signaling the rest of the group to come flooding in from the back entrance. As the group came in they split off into three teams as they had discussed previously one group rushing into the prison hold, the others rushing into the main room of the fort and another splinter group went into the tavern.
(Dunstad Prison Team)
Shadow step, Tully, and Serana, when they entered the prison of the fort they took a left down a flight of stairs and then follow the path to the right leading into a long hallway with a single pickaxe, two shovels, and a wagon on the ground along with some flammable liquid on the ground Tully and Serana in particular taking care to avoid the flammable substance as they walked around it when they got to the end of the hallway there was a door onto their right and the prison hold on their left. Inside was a bandit wearing steel plate armor just as Shadow-step was about to draw his Nightingale blade Tully walked forward before hurling the Mace of Molag bal at the bandit's head before rushing forward putting the bandit in a headlock and biting his neck draining his blood while Serana gave an amused smile. Seeing a bandit attempt to blindside Tully Serana pounced on him before sinking her teeth into the bandits jugular and feeding on the bandits blood as well as the two locked eyes one could see a faint blush appear on their faces. Inside the cages was a trio of skeevers which the group let out and the oversized rodents ran out the front door immediately after being freed. Shadow-step walked over to the door they passed on the end of the hall before they got to the prison and opened the door inside was a room full of hay with a single pitchfork leaning against the wall that still had traces of hay on the teeth. As the group of three made their way up the spiral stairs which brought them up to the lower level they could see two shelves on their left the first shelf had knives and forks The Middle show had bowls and the bottom shelf had tankards the second shelf next to it had a woodcutter's axe on the top shelf a single wooden ladle in the middle and five jars of Alto wine which Shadow-step wasted no time in taking knowing full well that Sabrina would want to get drunk tonight. The group continued up the staircase where a couple of noise making traps were put on the ceiling as they made it to the top they saw three more cages with bedrolls, buckets, and bodies the first of the three cages had a single skeleton in there meanwhile the middle had a dead skeever in the middle of the room was a dead high elf but upon looking down there was more of that flammable material on the floor. As Tully and Serana stayed on the other side of the room away from the flammable material Shadow step walked over finding another knife a kettle a book labeled 2920 midyear V6 a quiver of 15 iron arrows on the middle shelf along with two more on the top shelf directly to the left of the shelf was an alchemy lab station and on the middle table in the middle of the room next to the house was a pair of tongs, a iron dagger, a hook, a hammer, a iron mace, frostbite venom, a clothes iron, a bottle of weak poison, and another wooden ladle and right next to the cages were two more barrel cages along with the ladder that led up which brought them up to the tower where Severin was perched.
(Dunstad Main Team)
Ebon-shi, Suvvan, and Asadelf, immediately after entering could hear shouting and cheering of a bunch of bandits who were running a skeever fight ring, mentally thanking themselves that Gila was not in here otherwise she would go full feral on the bandits and there would be nothing left she'd probably end up breaking the tower in her rage. Walking around the corner to open up the cage to let the skeevers free Suvvan noticing the two goat cheese wheels on the counter next to the fighting ring made a beeline bolt to it and started laughing hysterically and started eating while Ebon-shi and Asadelf smiled and rolled their eyes walking into the corridor they saw what appeared to be a cooking area directly in front of them deciding to check that place out first they walked in immediately on their right was a table with two chairs and a plate with charred skeever hide on top of it and right next to it was a longer table with more charged skeever hide and bread along with a kettle directly next to that was an empty barrel and a shelf along with a bed a dresser with two candles and two bucks one titled the song of pelinal V2 and immortal blood along with a bowl with seven pieces of gold inside next to it was a fishing rack with two salmon nailed to the beam and directly next to that was a covered with a mead barrel three tankards a bunch of forks and a bunch of plates. In the middle was a fire pit with what appeared to be a baby skeever that was charred and rotisseried on two of the four corners of it. In the hallway that they had passed there was a wood chopping block with a wood cutters axe leaning up against a large pile of firewood walking up the spiral stairs to their immediate left they found weapon racks on both sides of the wall along with another wagon with a pile of hay. In the next room on the second floor there was another burn pit like the one they had on the bottom floor, along the wall was a mammoth skull there were two bedrolls and a hay pile with a single chest in the corner along with a barrel with a lantern on it for light behind the door was what appeared to be the bathroom and hilariously enough sitting on a shelf was a potion of true shot and a book titled a children's anuad. But of course the resident nutjob nord wasn't paying any attention to that instead the rather large pile of goat cheese on the nearby counter there was a single slice of goat cheese wedge along with a wheel of sliced goat cheese and four untouched really big cheese wheels with another wood cutters axe chopped into the table. To the table directly beside it was a single goblet a candlestick a steel shield a bowl, and a steel mace along with a cage that house two more skeevers which when let out bolted out the door.
( Tavern Team)
Sabrina, Myra, Gentu, and Yamma, entered the stumbling saber cat and inside was quite warm aside from two bandits one in leather armor and another in fur armor which Myra casted an illusion spell to pacify them so they would walk away the bandits in turn sheathed their weapons before walking outside. Sabrina Mira Gentu and Yamma took a good look around on the top floor to the immediate left was a single bar with an empty strong box with two tankards a goat horn candle holder with a lit candle, a mead barrel, a single jar of Alto wine which Sabrina wasted no time snatching and guzzling down before noticing the shelf directly behind the bar with multiple different alcoholic beverages the group had to physically restrain her to stop her from drinking herself into oblivion before they even swept the place. Promising that she would get to have more once the job was done looking behind the counter they could see lots of forks some jazbay grapes, a single iron war axe, a big bowl of salt along with a bucket and eight potatoes. Directly behind them was a four-seated table with three tankards another bottle of Alto wine and some Nord mead along with a single bed in the corner at the foot of the bed was another table with two chairs topped with two bottles of nord mead and two tankards. Directly in front of that was a cooking station with lots of boots and of course a single bottle of wine deciding to sweep the lower floor they saw a really big barrel of what could only be conceived as Mead directly next to a desk was for gold coins along with an iron dagger and a tankard and directly next to that was a cupboard with two sets of clothes and on the top shelf was a belted tunic along with a single barrel with four tomatoes the chest in the corner next to the master bed which sadly held the corpse of what could only be the bar's owner in the dresser at the foot of the bed was nothing important but the chest next to the bed which they didn't touch deciding that it would be mean to steal from the dead directly next to the bed on the other side of the wall were six more mead barrels along with some regular barrels and firewood directly underneath the angled latter.
The rest of the team reconvened outside in the square while Yamma and a Gentu walked directly next to the wall where the stables were as the group put their horses inside after barring the wooden doors of the fort in order to ensure that no one would be coming in or out without them knowing and barricading them by using some of the spiked traps to prevent them from pushing their way past before heading towards the entrance to the main building where there were two dummies one for archery and the other one for swords directly next to the entrance to the main Fort was a smithing station with a workbench, a blacksmith forge, and a grindstone the two exchanged nods before getting to work even with Gentu only having use of one of his hands for obvious reasons he was still able to do the job adequately enough. Meanwhile Sabrina to no one's surprise went back into the tavern to get drunk and sat at the bar while Shadow-step stood on the other side alternating between regular Alto wine and regular water to stop her from getting too drunk too quickly or else they risk her having a killer hangover the following day. Meanwhile to of the group decided to give the owner of the bar a proper burial by burying him outside and behind his tavern before gently burying him and giving a few farewells and thank you meanwhile four of the group consisting of Tully, Serana Gila and Salazar took first watch. Meanwhile the group alternated between being outside going inside but they mostly stood by The tavern since splitting up would only divide them more. If it was back at their main base back in Eastmarch that would be a different story because there's only one way in and they could converge on a single point and herd their enemies into a kill zone. Meanwhile the group just proceeded doing as usual taking watch shifts while the others slept making sure not to leave any place blinded.
