You are Colva, a proud Nord of Skyrim. You have long, black hair, blood red eyes, and are about 6'5". You defeated the Empire, and liberated Skyrim. You faced down Alduin as the Dragonborn, and won.

Not bad from the simple, adventuring orphan you used to be. You entered the Bannered Mare, where a slim Nord greeted you. You asked her if there was any news to give.

"Not today, Colva," she said as she washed some of the ales, "But a redguard requested to see you next time you came here." You eyed her curiously. "He's in the room upstairs."

You walked upstairs, a steel dagger hidden behind you, in case this wasn't a pleasant guest, and noticed a man sitting next to a round table, wearing Imperial robes.

"Ah," You say as you put your dagger away, "been a long time since I saw your face here, Zanguf."

"Too long," the redguard said in a very deep, disappointed voice. He then gave a heavy chuckle as you and him gave each other large hugs. You then asked a waiter to bring you two ales as you both took seats at the table.

"So," You say as you chug down your pint of ale, "what brings you here, so far from the safety of the Empire, my friend. You know that Imperials aren't welcome in Skyrim now."

"I know, but this was important. It concerns the citizens of Skyrim, forbidden arts, and..." Zanguf got closer to you as he whispered to you, "the Dawnguard."

That got your attention. Ever since you killed their leader, Isran, the Dawnguard have been disorganized, and rapidly deteriorating. They have been more aggressive, killing anyone they believe to be a vampire, or associated with vampires. What could they be up to now. Zanguf pulled out a map of Skyrim, with red 'X's in several locations.

"These are the locations that we have confirmed the Dawnguard attacked. Each time they attacked one of these locations, they took something very unique to the location. I was hoping you might be able to help. They also appear to be attacking in a pattern. By my guess, the next attack will be tomorrow." You look at the map. You don't notice anything out of the ordinary. The places marked hold very little significance. Wait, maybe it's not the place they hit, but, rather, where they hit. You double check to see where each one was, and come to one conclusion.

"Dead Man's Respite." You say to Zanguf, who is startled at why you say that place, "That's where the Dawnguard are based at."

"How do you know." You give a smirk.

"The locations are all in a circle. A poorly drawn circle, but a circle nevertheless. Center all the attacks to one spot, and Dead Man's Respite is located there." Zanguf smirks as he realises your logic.

"Always that tactician, weren't you? Now, if we approach from the north, under the cover of night~" You stop him mid sentence.

"No." He gives you a confused look.

"What do you mean 'No'?"

"We'll hit it during the day." You notice the panicked look on his face.

"You know that, if we do that, you'll be wea~"

"I know!" You said, raising your voice. "But, if they are only attacking during the day, and the next attack is tomorrow, then the place will be lightly defended. We can go in, get all the stuff they took, hid them someplace away from Dead Man's Respite, then come back to finish the job."

"But the sun!" Zanguf nearly shouted at you. You understand his concern, yet you can tell that he understands the logic.

"Let me handle that," you say a you take another sip, "I think I know of a way we can beat the sun, without using Auriel's Bow."

"We?" Zanguf exclaims, giving you a 'Are you serious?' look, "Don't expect me to come. You and I both know that, with my busted arm, I'll be useless." You give him a thousand-mile stare look.

"I never said that you'd be going." You stare at Zanguf, who just looks at you, confused. After a moment, his eyes widen in realization.

"You mean~" You smirk.

"That's right. Contact the Arch-Mage of Winterfold, The Listener of the Brotherhood, The Harbinger of the Companions, and the leader of the Thieves Guild. We're getting the band back together.
