(Yeah but those rowboats aren't empty. Sooo...)

The bolt shot through the tarp of one of the rowboats and hit one of the pirates underneath, killing him instantly as it tore through his torso.

The bolt then stuck itself onto the inside of the rowboat, but the dead pirate's body absorbed most of the impact so it didn't shoot through the wood. The damage to the hull was so there was little, so there was more blood than water entering the rowboat.

"That was a ballista shot." Raj muttered after he heard the sound of the bolt being shot.

The estate was unguarded now, from the outside, so Naerion could just walk inside.

"I can't exactly go against the Empire on this, though I can offer you an escort and transportation to Zakhim's place. That should get you there safely before the Imperials arrive." Duke Mamireh stated.

"What happened?" Deros asked, sounding a bit sad and surprised.

"We were ambushed by the Imperial Navy, we had made an alliance with some Nord pirates in order to plunder the East Empire Company's trade route to Windhelm but that attracted too much attention. Our hideout was bombarded, I was only able to survive because of my magic." Shav explained.

Deros walked closer and took a good look at Shav's face. "That must be where you got those scars, I barely recognized you."

Shav nodded. "So what do you say?"

"It's taken you this long to get a new navigator?" Deros asked.

"I was out of the game for a while, I just recently became a pirate again." Shav replied.

"I see. Well serving under you would be better than Salyms since you aren't judgemental like him, but I never pegged you for a ship captain." Deros said.

"I'm not." Shav revealed. He gestured over to Lhotun. "He's my captain."

Deros looked over at the young Redguard.

Lhotun smiled. "I am Lhotun at-Alesan, captain of the Brinehammer. Pleased to meet you Deros. We could use a good man and Shav's been singing your praises for days now. So what do you say?"
