After the trio bowed, they left the Baron's throne room.

Once they were out of earshot of any of the Baron's men, Quintus muttered. "We should head to the docks and investigate the thefts. Unless we manage to get some leads on who stole those ships we'll never find them."

The wagon workers began unloading the food and ammunition.

The head worker approached Captain Roderon. "The arranged price is 38 silver pels for the food and another 66 silver pels for the ammunition, so 1040 septims in total." He extended his hand, waiting for his payment.

In his haste, sprinting off towards the coast, the scout unfortunately gave away his presence.

The guards on the battlements of Fort Cyrus spotted him running through the barren landscape of the countryside and informed their superior.

"Let him go." Sergeant Saryat ordered. "We want them to know what he saw. It will make sure they attack the fort and not the village and we'll be ready for them."

The Redguards didn't stop the Bonemask scout from returning to their camp to the west.

Satisfied with his plan of action, Lhotun grabbed a fur cloak and was about to leave for the main deck when his cabin door was pushed open. He turned around from his dresser to see the Khajiit at the doorway.

"M'Sani..." Lhotun muttered. "Unexpected to see you here."

"This one isn't dumb, she knows you have been wanting to confront her about what happened in the grotto." The Khajiit said.

Lhotun set his fur cloak down. "Aye. I need the truth of the matter."

The Khajiit walked into the cabin and closed the door. She headed towards his bed and sat at the edge, sighing. "Khajiit will tell you, but keep this between us. She doesn't want anyone to pity her."

Pity her? Lhotun was intrigued. He approached his bed. "Very well, I will keep this between us. Now, tell me why you left the ship to seek information on the Iceborn Pirates."
