You're notes about him did help quite a bit I thought it'd be enough but I'm still struggling so yasss what Fallen said. You can tell me more and not necessarily spoil what you have in store for him.

@DearTrickster

Ah, I see, I'll send you a PM a bit latter todya, a bit busy atm, with some more info on Khosin if that ok, alright?

Indeed hun. I just yammered on about Vellios really as she enjoys learning about characters, how they work, why they work that and more. To her, it's like exploring the mental and physical facets of an individual. She learned Vellios was a massive trainwreck with loyalty to his dead family, playboy tendencies and a heart to some extend. It was sweet really.

@Fallenreaper

Ah, I see. When you put it like that, and thinking back, I suppose there's a lot mroe I could say about Khosin, liek oyu say how he works and hwy he works liek that were thigns that I didn't mention. Thanks for the help Fallen, next when I see that Tricks is online I'll try and send her a PM with a bit of more info on Khosin I guess (if that's ok, don't wanna bother Tricks, and other people in general, too much tbh)

@Mortarion: you can likely tell Tricks some stuff about Khosin, that usually helped her a bit. A few things I can think of are what what his prime motivation for what he does? His relationship with those around him, etc? Stuff that's not plotwise, but focused on the PC and not stated on the CS. I told Tricks a lot about Vellios, both plot and character wise from his life as a child to what happened and will happen to him that she got a good image of it.

@Fallenreaper

Well, when we did our collab I actually told her about khosin, his backstory and why he was gathering money. The only thigns I didn't say were those I left out of the bio on purpose. Though I didn't get too much into relationships and stuff liek that so I suppose there's that. But yeah, you are right, I suppsoe I should tell Tricks a few more stuff abotu Khosin's past and waht will, or oculd, happen to him.

Hey friends on the right!

Anybody working on anything, or should we hammer out a collab? I feel like we can start to wrap this up like leftover dinner and move onto less shooty stuff.

@Dervish

I'd be up for doign a collab, but might be a ltitle distracted since I have to do some reading.

It was great! I quite enjoyed it. Some boat bonding never hurt anyone.

Unless you're a cat who wants to push a certain Imperial overboard, but alas.

@Dervish

I'm sure Do'Karth will have his chance for revenge against Sagax at a later date, but glad to hear that both you and GC enjoyed the post

Got a post up, sorry it took a bit logner than expected. Hope that it's ok (and that I didn't make too many typos)

Dawnstar, before boarding The Courtesan

---

Tsleeixth let out a sigh, Daelin’s news had not done much to ease the worries of the former member of the College of Winterhold. He couldn’t blame the Bosmer, after all he was only trying to ease the worries going through his mind, but the news that the entire town had slid into the ocean had only made him more anxious “What in the name of the Hist did the Kamal do to make the whole town sink into the sea of ghosts.” He thought to himself as he packed his things into his backpack.

He frowned slightly when something caught his eye inside of his backpack and, after fishing for it inside of his backpack, found himself staring at a small package “Huh, don’t remember this being here before.” He muttered to himself, his confusion only increasing when he found a small scroll inside of it. Unfurling the scroll, he saw inside of it a simple ring and that the scroll was -in fact- a letter.

He quickly read it’s content, rather surprised to find that the ring was a gift from the old Pakseech. He toyed with the ring in his hand, surprised to be able to feel an enchantment on the simple metal band, but soon enough Tsleeixth’s lips curled upwards “Thanks Pakseech.” He muttered gratefully before he shook his head. For now what mattered was the people that were trapped in the College of Winterhold, he couldn't afford distractions of any kind.

Sea of Ghosts, aboard The Courtesan

---

While Tsleeixth was not used to traveling on boat, he seemed to have managed to escape the numerous maladies that seemed to affect the other members of the company, for he felt neither seasick nor did he had any difficult when it came to sleep in the vessel’s hammocks. Yet this didn't meant that the Argonian was having an easier time than those who were affected by their method of travel for he was constantly nervous about the state of those who now took refuge inside the College, his nervousness often making him wake up early in the morning to take him to the upper deck of The Courtesan, always looking at the direction that the Hold capital once used to mark or to stay up until late in the night staring in that direction.

By the time the College -or at least it’s profile in the distance- came into view, Tsleeixth felt himself going crazy with restlessness at the pace of the ships even though it had only been two days since they had left Dawnstar. Yet the sight of the ancient structure brought no peace of mind for the spellsword, instead the fact that the nearby town that gave the College it’s name had indeed sunk completely under the waves only helped to cause him only further agitation and nervousness.

How many survived? Did they manage to take refuge inside of the College? Did the survivors of Winterhold had enough provisions? Had they brought enough provisions to help the survivors? This thoughts occupied Tsleeixth’s mind as the three ships approached the destroyed city and the College that -in spite of whatever calamity had struck the city- still stood.

Sea of Ghosts, the coast of Winterhold

---

By the time that they were close enough to approach the College of Winterhold in two dinghies, Tsleeixth felt almost like jumping from The Courtesans upper deck and swimming. Seeing the ruins of the city jutting out of the seas had given the Argonian an almost feverish energy, his worries and fears brought back to the front of his mind at the sight of the destroyed settlement.

“It’s funny, I had almost forgotten about my time in Winterhold and yet now it seems like I can almost remember it perfectly.” He thought sadly, a sigh escaping from his lips as memories of happier, more simple, times flooded into his mind “Funny how loss always seems to reminds us of cherished things that before seemed so insignificant.” He thought bitterly as he got into one of the boats, Do’Karth’s words bringing him out of his reverie.

He was about to speak, try to offer his Khajiit companion some reassuring words, but Sagax spoke before he could. Laughing a little at the Imperial’s words, Tsleeixth had to take in some air before he spoke again “I wouldn’t be so sure Sagax, I think in this particular case a short swim could hurt a little.” He joked before he turned to look at Do’Karth “Now, in all seriousness, don’t worry Do’Karth, before you realize it we’ll be back in firm land.” He said reassuringly to the Khajiit, patting his shoulder gently to try and calm him down.
