The Redguard ran into the north, disappearing into the woods as no one tried to stop her.

When the Redguard was out of sight, they heard the sound of arrows leaving their bows.

"Brace!" Manis yelled.

4 Imperials were hit by the arrows. They received serious injuries, but were still alive.

What followed the arrows, though, was much more dangerous. 8 Firebolts were launched at the group.

An Imperial was hit directly and was burned alive. Two Bretons were hit and their shields did little to block the magic. They were left severely burned.

"Mages!" The Captain stated. He addressed Evalana. "We can't stay on the defensive now, our shields won't protect us from magic. We need to strike first!"

(@Rifle: What side are you referring to? The crossbowmen are on the northeastern side, btw.)

The crossbowmen couldn't see anyone coming towards them. The area had mostly been evacuated, with only a handful of people still around trying to grab their things and escape from the aggressors.

"Hew's Bane." Shelakh replied. "Captain Uzgakh has a hideout in Hew's Bane."

Gladroon cast his spell on the Orc, giving him another taste of bliss.

"Hew's Bane..." Marcus turned around and gestured for Moria to approach.

She knew what he intended so she reached into her pouch and produced a map of the Abacean Sea. She placed it on the ground.

"Where?" Marcus asked the Orc when Gladroon stopped his spell once more.

Shelakh was crying again, but didn't hesitate to reply this time. He could no longer resist, he had become addicted. "Here, in Thrall Cove."

The Altmer cast his spell.

Marcus picked up the map, then looked at Gladroon. "Are you certain he can't lie in this state?"

"His mind has been destroyed at this point by the craving. He would do anything for more. If he lied he would be jeopardizing his chances of getting a reward." The Direnni replied. "We can trust the information."

Lhotun and the Argonian reached the expansive forge station in the large room.

"Which way did the sound come from?" Lhotun wondered aloud when he saw that the room had 6 exits.

"Here!" The Argonian spotted a body at the southern exit. "Xhuth! It's Dreekius!" He ran towards the exit.

"Wait!" Another voice cried out before the Argonian stepped on the trap. "There is a trap there, it caught Dreekius." Juunei appeared on the other side. "Watch your step."

"Juunei, it's good to see you well." Lhotun stated. He saw the state that Dreekius' body was in. What a terrible way to go.

The two crossed the pathway carefully, without triggering the trap.

"I was just about to unlock the door for us to keep going." Juunei pointed out. He went back to the western exit and gestured for them to come with.
