Teimel sighed. "The crew won't like it, they aren't as level headed as you and me."

He grabbed the map and rolled it up, before departing from the captain's quarters to inform the navigator of their route.

The Malaia sailed directly east, through the Sea of Ghosts instead of following the Bay of Normar.

Some time after they were surrounded by only water for as far as they could see, the crew began to report weird occurences.

"I swear, I saw a sea elf." One of the sailors reported. "He was waving at me from the water."

"You've gone mad." Another retorted.

"No, I saw it too." A third corroborated.

The crossbowmen's strategy worked as another three guards were killed in the next volley.

"Orkey's ass! Retreat!" The head guard ordered.

The remaining 5 guards ran back out the market district before any more of them were shot down.

By now the citizens had gone into a panic, running from the market and the docks while the lighthouse keeper was still blowing his horn.

Evalana didn't see any more traps as they went further into the island's center.

They had left behind 19 Imperials to take care of the other captured prisoners, taking them back to the rowboat.

The remaining 57 men followed Evalana, Vhor and Manis through the forest.

They walked for about half an hour, before they began to hear suspicious sounds again.

Manis was immediately reminded of the sounds they heard when they were ambushed by the female archer and her comrades and so drew his sword. "Stay sharp everyone!"

Shelakh looked beyond confused, he was full on bewildered. "What...what..." His voice sounded much calmer, losing it's aggressive tone.

"What are you doing to him?" Marcus asked, not sure what kind of magic Gladroon was using on the Orc.

"Bliss." The Direnni replied. "I'm giving him utter bliss."

The Prince narrowed his eyes. "What?" He didn't understand why the mage would do this.

"This is the most effective way to break a man, I know." Gladroon stated. He used his power to give Shelakh the feeling of immense joy.

The Orc pirate lost all semblance of anger. "What...I...What is this?" Tears were forming in his eyes, tears of joy. The Orc seemed incredible flabbergasted. He had never felt such happiness in his life.

"It's not worth going in there. We didn't come here for petty treasure. Let's back away, slowly." Lhotun told his Argonian subordinate.

He took a step back, scared for his life at the thought of the animunculi being activated.

The Argonian followed his lead, though more clumsibly as the Redguard.

Lhotun closed the door. "It should be safe now. Let's double back and follow along one of the other routes."

The Argonian nodded and they hurried down the passageway.

As they were walking, they suddenly heard a loud scream echo through the Workshops to the east.

They exchanged worried looks.

"Come on, someone must've run into trouble." The Captain said and ran as they took the first right to follow the sound of the screams.
