The Docksmaster wasn't interested in Jerod and his Organization, so he brushed off the comment. He had muttered to himself anyway so he hadn't been asking for Jerod's input on the subject. "Anyway, that's all I know. If you'll excuse me I've got to get back to my duties."

"Captain, they're turning." The lookout reported.

The Dunmer Captain looked over his shoulder. "Damn it, we quite a bit of momentum when that explosion hit, we won't be able to get out of range of their ballistae in time." He cursed under his breath. ''We just need to hold out until the Redoran Guard arrive. No way they didn't hear those explosions, sound carries over water.''

The lighthouse lookout rang the warning bell up in his post, to warn the local guards of the pirates.

The Deceit dropped anchor and quickly performed the kedge maneuver as the Forward got into range. Having prepared themselves, their starboard artillery were loaded when their ship became parallel to the Imperial vessel.

"Fire on their gundeck!" Captain Cortoran ordered.

The pirates' ballistae launched heavy bolts into the side of the Forward, trying to aim for their own artillery to either damage them or kill the operators.

Meanwhile, since the pirate vessel was now parallel to the Imperials', their sails were a much smaller target, most of Evalana's shots ended up missing. However, now the pirate ship was stationary.

Shav and Juunei creeped into the EETC warehouse adjacent to the office building. The Argonian remained by the sewer entrance while Shav cast Muffle and Invisibility on himself and made his way through the building.

At night there were only a few guards in the warehouse so the Dunmer was able to get past them without incident.
