HACKDIRT:
"Agh!... They're in the store nearby!" The innkeep admitted. "We found her unconscious on the outskirts of town and brought her to the caves down below."
"Why? What's down there?" Jin's question would be answered by the cellar door behind the bar smashing off its hinges and bouncing off the ceiling with loud thud, then falling back down onto the bar itself; bent and splintered by the impact. Reaching out from the open hole was the arm of a bloathead. Its body was too large to fit through, and only its and a small part of its head were able to come through before getting stuck.
"AH!" The barkeep shouted, trying to duck his head as the door flew above he and Erin. "You damn fools! They're not ready!" He told them, "You were better off in your cell than being eaten alive, now you'll be their evening meal!"
Jin, drawing his sword, pointed it by a few centimeters away from the innkeepers face. "What is that... creature?"
"A-A deep one. Or, at least us becoming one of them. It was only recently that their presence became more powerful, turning those who ventured too far into the caves into... such creatures." The innkeep looked back at the door. "They've been whispering to us in our dreams. A wanting for humanity, but there are only so many outsiders we can provide. But soon, soon they'll come out in full strength, and give us the vengeance on the Imperials who burned our town to the ground so many years ago!"

IMPERIAL CITY
"Until all evidence presents itself for your case as to whether or not you speak the truth, you must still come with us and obey the law, or else be deemed a criminal of the Empire, and a conspirator to the death of Emperor Uriel Septim VII!" The guard shouted back to her, in all honesty, not believing a word she was saying, or just didn't care and needed some sort of excuse to justify bringing them both in.
Before she could say another word, Callintus put his hand out in front of her to speak on their behalf once more. "We will comply. But we wish for a fair trial to prove our innocence!"
"We will see. Now move!" The guard yelled once more, as the ones behind them with swords raised to their backs walked forward. "And keep your hands where we can see them!"
As told, Callintus raised his hands, and followed the guards, leading them out into the open and empty streets of the Imperial City. The quiet was almost unnerving, a city this size, and guard patrols rising in numbers as citizens vanished, in comparison to when they first arrived here. Yet, as they walked, Callintus whispered, "You wouldn't happen to know how to turn invisible, would you?"
