Night Without Stars (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

He became intimidated and scared immediately, Hulara did stand a good two feet taller than this poor Nord. "U-Uh, I have a letter for you...the guard who gave it to me seems a lot less scary now." He said before handing the letter over, "Whatever it is, please remember: I'm just the messenger."
 
The letter was rather sloppily written, like whoever it was was in a hurry.
"Your wife was very kind with letting us into your home. Had we realized she was the wife of an Imperial officer, we would have robbed your place sooner. We decided to take your beautiful wife as leverage. You want her back? We need gold. And a lot of it. You better pay up and meet us at Robber's Gorge if you want her back."
 
He roared loudly. "WHAT?!" he nearly tore up the letter before he grabbed his swords. He shouted to his second in command that he was taking an emergency leave.
 
"Wh- Captain, what's gotten into you?"
"What did you do?" The soldiers all turned on the courier, who panicked that he was only doing his job.
 
"Leave him. Bandits kidnapped my fucking wife. I have to go correct their most grave of errors." He said quickly.
 
"Well...I don't see why you would need emergency leave if nothing was wrong.." His second in command said. How kind, he wasn't going to report his leave of the camp.
 
It didn't take him long to get from camp to where the bandits were hiding, the sun was just about to set. It was a rather large camp with many bandits guarding the area.
 
He huffed and moved towards the camp. He had a sack stuffed with scrap metal and rocks to hopefully fool the bandits until he got in close. He had his swords on his back, and moved in toward the camp with the 'money' in hand, clutching the amulet she made him with the other.
 
"I'll take you to the boss." One said and took him to a trap door inside the rundown building the camp was built around. Hulara was forced down first, trapping him essentially in the cove they had entered.
"Hey, boss! The good captain is here!" When Hulara was guided to where the bandit chief was waiting, he spotted Satlyn instantly. She was bound to the floor by her wrists and ankles to keep her from running away. Thank the Eight she wasn't hurt.
"Hulara!" She gasped and the chief pointed his sword at her to shut her up.
 
"Hand over the gold and we won't kill either of you." He stated.
"I tried to warn them, my darling, I truly did! They didn't believe an Argonian was the unkillable beast of the Empire!" Satlyn told Hulara.
 
He chuckled and gently tossed the sack down to the leader. The other bandits watched greedily, and he was able to sneak a bit back to the entrance before waiting.
 
When they got the sack open and saw it was just dwemer scrap and rocks, they flew into a fury. "Grab the bitch and kill her!"
"No!!" Satlyn screamed in terror as the others advanced on her.
 
Hulara drew both of his swords and skewered one bandit from behind. "Eyes on me, amateurs!" He roared as he spun and caught another bandit by the throat.
 
They all turned on him and swarmed him like angry charus insects. Satlyn hid her face in her bound arms, not wanting to see such gore.
 
"Gods, he really is unkillable." One bandit whimpered in fear.
"If it bleeds, it can be killed." The chief growled and only pushed harder against Hulara.
 
The chief didn't last at all. Hulara slammed him against the wall and slammed his head into the chief's before jabbing a long blade horizontally into his neck, taking the blade out and tossing his body into the bandits
 
"No more! I yield, I yield!"
"Victory is yours, I submit!"
"I cannot best you!" The others seemed to scramble and disperse quickly after that.
