Just a Skyrim fanfic: Extended cut

Meeting the vampires

(Leonidas and Maximus head to dimhollow cave and start sneaking, but they find a bunch of dead vigilants with some vampires)

Vampire: These vigilants just never know when to give up. I thought we'd taught them enough of a lesson at their hall

Vampire: To come in here alone... A fool just like the rest of them

Vampire: He fought well enough. Jeron and Bresoth were no match for him

(Leonidas and Maximus see Tolan's dead body on the ground next to two dead vampires)

Vampire: Those two got what they deserved. Their arrogance was beginning to become insufferable

Vampire: All this talk has made me thirsty. Perhaps another vigilant will wander in here soon

Vampire: I wish Lokil would hurry it up. I have half a mind to return to the castle myself and tell Harkon what a fool he's entrusted his mission to

Vampire: And I have half a mind to tell Lokil of your disloyalty

Leonidas: (Whispers) They've set up in some castle

Maximus: (Whispers) It shouldn't be hard to spot. Especially in Skyrim

(Leonidas decapitates a vampire with his sword)

(At the same time, Maximus shoots the other vampire in the head with his crossbow)

(A death hound tries to tackle Leonidas, but he stabs it in the neck with Mehrune's razor)

(Leonidas and Maximus get down on their bellies on a tall ledge)

Adalvald: I'll never tell you anything, vampire. My oath to Stendarr is stronger than any suffering you can inflict upon me

Lokil: I believe you, vigilant. And I don't think you even know what you've found here. So go and meet your beloved Stendarr

(Lokil slits Adalvald's throat with a dagger)

Vampire: Are you sure that was wise, Lokil? He still might have told us something. We haven't gotten anywhere ourselves with this

Lokil: I'm sure. He knew nothing. He served his purpose by leading us to this place. Now it is up to us to bring Harkon the prize. And we will not return without it. Vingalmo and Orthjolf will make way for me after this

(Leonidas and Maximus follow Lokil and the other vampire from the shadows)

Vampire: Yes, of course, Lokil. But do not forget who brought you the news of the vigilant's discovery

Lokil: I never forget who my friends are. Or my enemies

(Leonidas uses a fireball to burn Lokil)

(Maximus hits the other vampire with a green beam from volendrung, knocking him off the ledge and onto some sharp rocks)

Maximus: There's nothing even here

Leonidas: Not yet. This is a ruin. The treasure usually isn't just out in the open. There has to be a puzzle or a lock somewhere

(Leonidas leans on the button in the center, and a spike comes up and pierces his hand)

Leonidas: OW!

(Leonidas's blood activates a magic barrier)

Maximus: What did you do?

Leonidas: I think I just created a forcefield. Now I'll have to un-do it

(Leonidas finds some braziers and pushes one to the outer ring, taking down part of the barrier)
