Odahviing grunts in acknowledgement as he lands at the front of the ruins as you shoot an arrow into the bandit's throat dropping him instantly.
Serena gets off and casts Soul Trap on another bandit followed by draining his life forse, however knowing that spell it might take awhile for the bandit to drop from that alone.
At least if not for Black Widow blasting him in the legs sending him crumpled to the floor. "You didn't say I couldn't disable them for you."
(OOC: small clarification. Once Soul Trap takes effect on a target, it doesn't matter who strikes the final blow, when the target dies it fills a soul gem for you.)

You fire another arrow piercing the bandit in the head you see his soul absorbed into the gem. As Window takes down two more bandits with her blasters stunning them and Serana kills the last hostile with an icicle spear.

Anaya Rosethorne
The vampire looked around, seemingly satisfied by their little... hunt. She walked up to one of the stunned bandits, asking Serana as she drew closer to the hapless thug:
-Well... all our Black Soul Gems are full, correct? She grabbed the bandit by the throat with her hand, but didn't squeeze. As for you, my friend... consider yourself lucky. I will make sure you do not suffer.
She looked into his eyes... having not drank blood for a day, she used the powers that came with the thirst... and hypnotized him. She made him forget the pain, forget the fear... all that mattered was abandon himself to her embrace, and to lose himself in the kiss she was about to give him in the neck. She then allowed her fangs to show slightly, and bit him in the neck, drinking all that was left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7 stones into Vampire's Seduction plus 2 from Dragonforce, all into controlling the thug to make him fall into some kind of torpor as a bite and kill him by drinking all his blood. Two goals in this: make him not defend himself, and make him not fee pain as he dies.
7 stones into Energy Drain (as Improved Drain) to drain as many red stones of Energy from him as I can till there's nothing left to drink. XD

You mesmerize the bandit and quickly suck him dry as he falls dead to the ground.
"It would seem so." Serana said.
"We're not just going to leave are we?" Widow asks. "Yes we have what we came for, but there might still be bandits inside right. I mean, I hate to just leave them to pillage another day."

Casually wiping a small spot of blood on her lips with her hand, before licking it, Anaya looked back at Widow with an intrigued look.
-I was going to suggest bringing you back home as soon as possible, but if you are willing to stay for longer, then I don't see why not. It is good to see someone who not only cares for others, but also for others from another world entirely. Quite refreshing, compared to some mortals we have crossed paths with. So be it then...
She turned to the dragon above:
-Thank you again, Odahviing. You have been of great help, as usual. Please do not concern yourself with us any longer for now, I will make use of other means to reach our goal in the near future. Until we meet again, my friend.
She then drew her sword, the Stormblade, and asked her companions:
-Well... shall we then?

Both girls nod following you inside the ruins. As you go deeper inside you find that most of the bandits were killed off already. You also find the corpses of several Draugr.

-Hmm... Would it be too simple to suspect that the bandits and the Draugr just killed each other until no one was left, I wonder?
An interesting question to be sure, but she was really not sure this was the truth. Not that she really know what the truth was, so she proceeded to find out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 stones into Thieving (Gathering information, Search room/area) plus 3 from Animal Senses; 7 into investigating the bandits and draugr's deaths; were the bandits killed by draugrs, and vice versa? Or something else?... Also, the other 6 to loot the corpses. XD

You see that the bandits dug too far into a crypt and awoke several draugr. The bandits defeatred the risin foes but not without inflicting heavy casualties.
You search the bodies and find (Not counting cheap weapons and armor, because I never take those.)
over 600 gold.
5 bone meals
83 Iron Arrows
14 Orcish Arrows
51 Ancient Nord Arrows
3 potions of Minor Healing
3 garnets.
You also find a journal in the bandit chief's possession. It details that they were here in search of seven powerfull weapons said to be almost equal to the Daedric artifacts. They were looking for new recruits/resources when you arrived.

Anaya Rosethorne
Anaya began looting everything that seemed worth her time (namely the arrows, the money, the potions, ingredients and gemstones... now that she thought of it, there were surprisingly few gemstones around, unlike her usual habit of practically stumbling onto them). As she got her hands on the journal, she took a quick read through it with a smile. Then her smile vanished, leaving a bewildered expression and widening eyes.
-...What? 'almost equal to the...' ...Seriously?, she said out loud, as she gave the journal a more extensive (though still quick) read. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11 stones into Thieving (Gather Information) plus 3 from Animal Senses, to search for more info, namely if the seven weapons were truly supposed to be in this cavern, and if not, where. ^_^

You look further into the notes. You find something that the weapons have not been seen in Tamriel in centuries, but that there is a ritual that can be performed in the secret chamber inside, to bring them back into this plane.
Speaking of which you step on a flawless diamond you missed earlier and accidently break the heel of your shoe.

Anaya Rosethorne
As she read, she asked her two companions:
-Say... are you in a hurry to leave immediately, or can it be postponed for a while? ...I have discovered something very interesting about this cave which makes me want to explore it further. According to th-
*SNAP*
-Ouch!... Damn, not again? What is it this ti- Ooh! A beautiful diamond... Sigh. I guess it's worth yet another broken pair of pumps, she said kicking the two shoes away as she picked the diamond and hid it away in her pockets.
She continued:
-...So. Anyway. All I need is to perform a ritual somewhere in the secret chamber, and then... I should be able to get my hands on a pretty interesting treasure.

"Does this happen often?" Widow asks Serena.
"Every day." She answers.
"Alright, since you guys are going outa your way to help me, I'll join you in your little adventure."
"Don't be too upset love." Sereana says. "a woman of your beauty has little need for high heels anyway." She smirks caressing your toes with her own as she gives a quick hug and kiss.

Anaya Rosethorne
-Thanks, Black Widow. Your assistance is much appreciated, the Dragonborn stated gratefully. Then Serana proceeded to cheer her up about that loss of pumps. ...Aaah... As usual, you are right, most beloved Serana. What would I do without you?
She hid the journal in her inner pockets, before drawing her sword again (she had sheathed it back when she searched the bodies and was reading the journal).
-Well... let us move on, then. I am unsure of how deep this cavern goes, but if these bandits needed more men, I hardly think it is a small one. She smiled, then added: Then again, maybe the bandits were idiots and just couldn't find the secret passageway.
She took the lead, her blade held firm in hand, as she kept an eye out for trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 5/5 E: 24/24
10 stones into Thieving (Stealth, Search Area) plus 2 from Dragonforce, plus 2 from Nightwalker's Footsteps; 7 to avoid being seen by potential foes, 7 plus 3 from Animal Senses, for a total of 10, into locating foes, secret passages, loot, etc, as we go.
7 stones (Ef.) into Close Combat (Sword) plus 2 from Dragonforce, plus 3 from Stormblade, all into defense.
End E: 9/24 Defense: 17 (3 Ref.Dodge, 2 Toughness, 12 actions) Mental Defense: 11 (6 Intelligence, 5 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +3 Cold Defense +4

You look around, you find dozens of gems, and jewels. It's a rather straight path but down the spiraling hallway you notice several sleeping Draugr.
