Lidia
"So, when you're in combat, do you prefer being up close or a good distance away from danger." He asks, "I'm not one for strategy but that'll change how I fight." He clutches his amulet, "This is a game changer, let me tell you."
James
"Close. Distance is... Not for me. Magic is a supplement for the Blade. Thats my philosophy."
Lidia
"Perfect." He says, "I'm midrange, hence the spear, but I can adapt easily." He channels his amulet, a beam of light arcing from him to Zasana, "A gift. Now you can't die unless I do."
James
*He didnt want to comprehend how it worked, nor did he want to ask.*

"Then our partnership will be very potent."

*They were coming up at the bend in the road, towards riften. There was a Hollowjack pumpkin on the sign at the crossroads. If only there were a bowl of sweets...*
Lidia
He smiles, "It helps that I'm hard to kill, especially by undead abominations. It's a shame that they always hide in caves and crypts. Never out in the open. Big open spaces are where I really excel."
James
"I'm the opposite. Ordinators... Ever since their inception after the Tribunal, trained for close quarters. I would summon something if i was in the open like that."

*They turned. It was ahead, a path once frequently used between the Velothi mountains. It collapsed long ago in the Third Era, before the fall of the Tribunal.*
Lidia
"Seems we'll cover eachother's weaknesses then!" He says with a smile, "Wonderful! Those abominations won't know what hit them!"
James
*After an uneventful trip past that turn, they would end up at the Cave. There was rotting wooden sign that was unreadable at the ground.*

"This is it... I can feel it in me. It's here."

*So were vampires, judging by the smell.*
Lidia
"Smells like death and fresh blood. There's vampires in there, alright." He says,"I'm going to show them Lady Merid's love." The aura around him would prevent most weak vampires from getting close, he readies his spear and shield
James
*He entered ahead of him. He had his right hand on his sword, but he was never one to draw it until he saw danger. From cave, it turned into what was an attempt at some sort of architecture, with Necrom-esque pillars supporting the roof, but they were crumbling, the ones on the morrowind side are why the tunnel collapsed. There were 2 vampires and a thrall just ahead, behind a log wall. Hadn't noticed them yet.*
