"Decent plan, Aetheon" Torsten complimented as he prepared to grab hold of the High Elf to provide the illusion that he was his captive. The Nord then marched to the entrance of the mansion itself, encountering one guard who eyed the Nord suspiciously before he spoke up.

"Prisoner. We've got thieves roaming about, but we've dealt with some of them."

The guard nodded in understanding but Torsten decided to add more and press further on.

"Send everyone to patrol the perimeter behind the mansion! That's where the thieves were last seen, make sure they aren't there!"

With those simple words, the guards believed Torsten's fib and a majority of the guards began patrolling behind the mansion. This worked well with Torsten's command of sending the group in to take up positions in only half the perimeter of the house, as they now found the guards patrolling their routes to have all but gone to a different position.

It was an opportune time for the group to regroup at the entrance.
