(@Sept: No problem, I'm on the same boat as you.)

Caius nodded. He didn't complain about the late arrivals and looked glad that they were there. He had something in mind for them.

Not longer after the King of Daggerfall came in, the Emir himself walked into the room. He bowed slightly to Caius. "Your Imperial Majesty. I hope my servants have been treating you well."

A few servants had brought refreshments and small pastries to the nobleman's guests.

Caius was a very direct man, so he didn't bother with plesantries. "The lordling from Betony, where is he?"

The Emir looked a bit annoyed that the Imperial Prince ignored him and cut straight to the point. "Uh, he's being brought right up. He suffered an injury during the attack so he can't walk on his own. My servants are bringing him in." He grabbed a pastry from one of the platters going around and sat at the couch opposite to Caius.

A few moments later, the Betony nobleman was brought into the room by two guards, each one grabbing one arm as they helped him walk.

Caius saw that the nobleman had a bad limp, one of his legs was practically being dragged along the floor. ''The attack must've made his leg go lame. A real shame for him, he'll never be the same. Though I can still use him for my plan like this.''

The trade ship was a few kilometers from Solstheim's shore. It was a small caravel that bore the flag of House Redoran on its mast. It didn't seem to have noticed the incoming pirates yet.

Roderon couldn't see from this far, but there were likely either Imperial Navy or House Redoran warships on Raven Rock. The seas were under heavy protection during this decade of piracy. So it would be wise for Roderon to raid the caravel and quickly get out of there before the warships spotted him and his crew.

Jerod spotted the Redguard Docksmaster at one of the piers overseeing the unloading of fresh cargo from the mainland.

Juunei and Shav traversed the sewers under the Docks Quarter.

"Ugh, this smells awful." Shav complained.

"It doesn't smell any better to me." Juunei stated. "Just bare with it for a little longer, we're nearly under the warehouse."

"Lhotun and Deros will have arrived at the Office by now. They'll keep the manager distracted while we sneak in." Shav said, recalling their plan.

Juunei nodded. "I'll keep watch for any guards while you use your spells and find the logbook to rip out the relevant page."
