The Ebony Renegades (Skyrim)

chapter forty seven

(Mzulft team)
Gila and Severin left the base first heading down the frost covered Trail on foot this time since it wasn't that far to the dwarven ruin of Mzulft. They noticed a storeroom nearby the main ruins exchanging a nod they headed towards the store room first hoping they would find the parts that Gentu had requested in there instead of having to go into the main ruin which could be flooded with unwanted confrontation. As they walked into the store room they moved back to back walking down a ramp that led into a big room with a big gate in front as well as a door to the right. Going through the door on the right and then into the room on the other side of the gate they found a known of the parts that Gentu needed both sighing with exasperation as they left the store room and made their way up towards the main ruins of Mzulft. As they approached the main gate to the entrance they could see broken steam pipes protruding out of the Rocky Mountain steam bowling out of them a testament that this Dwarven ruin along with many like it were still functional. As Gila and Severin entered the room they entered through the door and down the hall which on both sides were littered with broken pipes which shot out scolding blasts of steam walking further up they took a sharp left passing two bus of visages similar to dwarven centurions. Before Severn grabbed the Gila by her shoulder pulling her back as she looked back to see why he grabbed her he pointed down to a single pressure plate on the ground which one he put his tail on it sharp Spears protruded from the ceiling which would have skewered her. "Thanks Severin I owe you one." Gila said with a sheepish smile as they continue forward paying extra attention close to the ground before finding the body of a dead Synod researcher crouching down and examining the amount of decay on the body severing deduced to that this man had been dead for weeks. As they moved forward they entered a large room blanketed by steam cloud close to the ground which made it hard to not step or trip on anything. They did however find a large piece of dwarven plate metal which they collected off the ground and went into the Next Room taking the room to the immediate left they went down a ramp finding only a single Dwarven chest and a Moonstone ore vein. Signed disappointed the two left to the room and hugged the wall being able to not trip on anything that might be on the ground as they entered the next door they searched through Dwarven ruin. Following the pathway they picked up a large Dwemer strut that was on the ground along with a piece of Dwemer scrap metal I also found another piece of large Dwemer plate metal and another decorative Dormer strut as well as a solid piece of Dwemer metal. With their load getting heavy they decided that it would be best to not pick up any more metal unless they absolutely needed it. They've enjoy came into a cave system with a single tree on the left hand side walking forward into the cave revealed another Moonstone or Vein on the right hand side along with a cluster of namira's rot following the path leading into what appeared of once have been a mining Outpost as there was a single wooden structure hugging the left side of the wall accompanied by a table along with a single knapsack and another Moonstone or vain along with two more dead researchers. As they continue to forward they narrowly avoided a trip line as they entered the other side of the cavern they found what appear to have been the remains of a mammoth along with human and Elk bones. They found a piece of bent Dwemer metal which they picked up as they continued through the ruins they were getting clearly annoyed at not finding any Dwarven spheres or Dwarven spiders they did however pick up another piece of large drummer metal plate as they entered the next room they smile when they saw the remains of a Dwarven sphere Guardian. Quickly collecting it and dragging it back the only thing they needed now was a Dwarven spider although they still had no idea why Gentu needed these things but they proceeded to collect the pieces. They have inevitably finally found a Dwarven spider when one deployed from one of the deployment stations but by then they were already struggling to carry the Dwarven sphere Guardian which Severn was dragging along on his back through a lot of effort. They entered a very large room which appeared to be some type of collection Depot they picked up another piece of solid Dwemer metal as well as another piece of small drummer plate metal before moving down to the lower level looking around. After not finding anything on the lower level they made their way to the other side and picking up two more pieces of large and small Dwarven plate metal but alas towards the end next to the body of a dead falmer was a Dwarven spider they searched around to see if they can find another one walking up the ramp they found two more Dwarven spiders as well as another dead falmer. " I think this should be plenty, let's head back before the others get worried." Gila said as Severin nodded as they made their way back out of the ruin. When they finally exited out of the Dwarven ruin they smiled before making their way back to headquarters but not before ducking behind one of the large boulders as a convoy of thalmor marched past. It seems like they were heading towards Windhelm. As we looked at each other we gave a nod before quickly making our way towards Windhelm to warn the other three.
