FormID: 01007CC9 00Skald GREETING 0 Well adventurer, my sword has swung for honor and for glory. Can you say the same?
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 0 In Anvil, the Fighter's Guild is headed by a Redguard named Azzan.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 1 He has been there for six years, having transferred from the city of Sutch where he endured a terrible tragedy.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 2 It seems there was a woman there named Porcela, who harbored a strong crush on him, but at the time,
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 3 he was the porter for the Sutch Guild and was determined to rise in the ranks.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 4 She persisted, trying to win his favor again and again. Nothing worked. So, she came up with a plan.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 5 Azzan received a message one day saying that she was going to bother him no more and was going to spend the rest of her days at Brittlerock Cave.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 6 Azzan knew of this place since it was often the hideout of rogues and other outcasts of society. He felt like it was a good place for her.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 7 Yet another part of him worried that she would meet some horrible demise there, as well.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 8 His duties as porter were too great to allow him much time for concerned, however, and he soon forgot about her.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 9 He thought about her once, months later, when somebody mentioned that a coven of conjurers took up residence in Brittlerock,
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 10 But he figured she was probably back in town by then.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 11 Sometime after that, a woman joined the guild, a Redguard like him named Kala, and they became lovers.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 12 He found it very convenient to have a love interest where he worked, but he was also falling in love with her.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 13 They would spend hours walking or riding through the countryside, enjoying the scenery and taking on the occasional opponent together.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 14 Then one day, as they were riding near Kvatch, they stumbled upon a group of humans that turned out to be conjurers.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 15 One by one, daedric monsters appeared out of thin air and not just your lowly scamps, but deadroth and spider bitches.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 16 It was a very tough battle as the conjurers would not face the warrior team face to face, but would run off and let there summons fight for them.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 17 They broke through the ranks of beasts, however, and managed to cut down most of the human foes.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 18 Then, a spiderling bit Kala and she fell to the ground. Azzan saw what happened and quickly killed the thing, but he was unable to make it to Kala.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 19 before someone else did.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 20 One of the conjurers came up behind Kala's prone body and propped it up, holding a deadly ebony dagger to her throat.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 21 Azzan stopped short and glared at the red-hooded figure bent over his love.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 22 [QUOTE]If you hurt her, I swear by the gods that I will leave no bone in your body intact.[QUOTE]
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 23 He could not see the conjurer's face for the hood, but he heard a laugh, a woman's laugh.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 24 [QUOTE]Azzan, you cannot hurt me any more than you already have.[QUOTE]
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 25 She looked up at Azzan. It was Porcela and her eyes shone with the light of vengeance.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 26 Azzan stepped back in shock, [QUOTE]Porcela, don't do this.[QUOTE]
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 27 [QUOTE]You were always to busy for me![QUOTE] she shouted, [QUOTE]but this trollop is worth your time?[QUOTE]
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 28 [QUOTE]I was never interested in you, Porcela, I'm sorry. Just put the dagger down.[QUOTE]
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 29 [QUOTE]No,[QUOTE] her words oozed out like venom from a fang, [QUOTE]They say that Oblivion has no fury like a woman scorned, Azzan,
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 30 and you are going to know that fury and that hell.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 31 [QUOTE]Porcela, don't![QUOTE] Azzan jumped forward just as Porcela slid her blade across Kala's soft neck like a knife through butter.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 32 Her life's blood gushed out like the waters of Niben River, but it was not the red that Azzan saw.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 33 His rage blinded him, made him lose his consciousness in a haze of crimson gore as he pounded and smashed the body of Porcela.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 34 Again and again he brought his heavy mace down on her until she was no longer recognizable as a human, much less the woman she once was.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 35 When he came to again, he stood in a puddle of flesh and red cloth and he knew things would never be the same.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 36 He went back to Sutch, but the guild only reminded him of Kala. He couldn't escape her face.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 37 He lost all reason to be there any longer and was about to quit the guild to pursue a life as a mercenary when a message from Anvil came.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 38 He was offered the position as its head and, with a heavy heart, he left for Anvil and its guild.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 39 Azzan doesn't like to talk about his past, but he told me as his friend. He is a good man and a strong fighter.
FormID: 01008A7D 00Skald theSadStoryofAzzan 40 If you join the guild, he will be a good leader. Just don't mention Sutch?
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 0 Sit right back and you'll hear the tale
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 1 Of a man down from Skyrim
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 2 Who fell in with a goblin tribe
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 3 They call him Goblin Jim.
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 4 His fate led him to a darkened cave
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 5 Where he met a motley clan
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 6 Who was lacking in leadership so
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 7 He became their man shaman.
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 8 His tribe is as big as an army and
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 9 Its stench is bigger still
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 10 You'll know when they are coming cause
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 11 Their smell crosses Cyrodiil
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 12 Though born with red Breton blood
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 13 This man says he's a goblin
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 14 If you start conversation with him
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 15 He'll just stare and grin
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 16 No one knows what made him mean
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 17 What thing wrought all his wrath
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 18 I think he just avoids being clean
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 19 And hates to take a bath.
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 20 So goblins are the only ones
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 21 To like his filth and grime
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 22 They follow him to the towns
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 23 And commit his heinous crime
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 24 So if you see a man shaman
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 25 And worry of his power
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 26 Run outside in the rain
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 27 He won't like the shower.
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 28 No he won't
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 29 Like the
FormID: 01008A7F 00Skald theTaleofGoblinJim 30 Shower.
