Lydia: draws sword AMBUSH! Stay BEHIND.
Andrews
"Alright, I'm with you"
narrows her eyes, gripping the assassin tightly If the Thalmor agents are being murdered by these Ninth Companions, then it's clear that they pose a significant threat.
Andrews
"We should try to recruit them"
shakes her head firmly No, we can't risk that. These assassins have already proven themselves to be enemies of the Empire.
Andrews
"I mean after you kill them"
tightens her grip on the assassin's collar, her voice low and dangerous Kill them first, recruit them later. That's how we'll handle this.
Andrews
"I agree"
leans in closer to the assassin, her voice barely above a whisper You will regret the day you ever crossed paths with the Ninth Companions.
Andrews
she slashes the neck of the assassin
throws the lifeless body of the assassin to the ground, breathing heavily One down. Let's find the rest of their kind and put an end to this rebellion once and for all.
Andrews
"There's two more"
tightens her grip on her sword, her eyes gleaming with determination Two more, huh? Well, that just means we have twice the fun ahead of us.
Andrews
"You should use your shout"
takes a deep breath, her voice strong and resolute Very well, here goes nothing. yells at the top of her lungs FUS RO DAH!
Andrews
the two assassins die instantly
After defeating the two assassins, Lydia and Andrews discover that the Ninth Companions are being backed by the Stormcloaks, a rebel group aiming to overthrow the Empire.
Andrews
"Looks like we got more problems"
narrows her eyes, clenching her fist around her sword More problems? Damn right, we've got more problems. But we've faced down worse before.
Andrews
"Stormcloaks, eh? I've dealt with those guys before. They don't stand a chance against us"
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? You think we're going to waltz in there and have a tea party with the Stormcloaks?
Andrews
"No, but if we're dealing with them, we should treat it like a ball. We need to plan this out carefully if we want to succeed"
rolls her eyes, her tone firm Plan? Carefully? I've never been one for sitting around and planning, my friend.
Andrews
"And that's why we make a great team. You're the brains of our duo, and I'm the muscle. We need to use our strengths to our advantage if we're going to take down the Stormcloaks"
smirks, her eyes glinting with excitement Alright, brain and muscle. I like the sound of that. So, what's the plan, brain?
Andrews
"First, we should gather as much information as we can about the Stormcloaks' movements. We need to know their numbers, their weapons, their leader's strengths and weaknesses"
starts scribbling notes on a piece of parchment, her voice focused Alright, I'll get started on that.
Andrews
"While you do that, I'll start training. We need to make sure we're ready for whatever the Stormcloaks throw at us"
nods, her voice determined Training it is. I'll practice my blade work and perfect my shouts. Those Stormcloaks won't know what hit them.
Andrews
"And don't forget about the Dark Shrouding Bow. It's a powerful weapon that can turn the tide of any battle. We should consider bringing it with us"
pauses, her brow furrowing as she considers the suggestion The Dark Shrouding Bow, huh?
Andrews
"It's a dark effect that can cause paralysis, so it's especially useful against the Stormcloaks. Plus, it's easy to use, even for someone who isn't a born Nord like myself"
raises an eyebrow, smirking Not a born Nord, huh? Well, I guess that makes things interesting.
Andrews
"Indeed it does. We should probably start preparing our strategy now, considering we might have to spend days or even weeks infiltrating Stormcloak territory"
As Lydia and Andrews begin their preparations, they receive a tip from a trusted informant that the Stormcloaks are planning a surprise attack during the upcoming Harvest Festival.
Andrews
"A surprise attack during the Harvest Festival? This could be dangerous, Lydia. We'll have to be careful"
slams her fist on the table, her voice commanding A surprise attack, huh? Well, we'll give them a surprise all right.
