The Companions were busy with their toasting and didn't notice Elisiv come in with Kal.

"Make yourself at home, Kal. Join us for a drink. We deserve it after the long trip." Elisiv said as she walked towards the long U shaped table.

"Ah, Elisiv. I was wondering where you'd been." The old tattooed man said.

"Captain Gunnar, I was just taking the scenic route to the hall. Showing that one around town." Elisiv gestured to the female mercenary.

"Who's she, a new recruit?" Gunnar Battle-Born asked.

"No, just a friend." Elisiv replied.

Randagulf handed his daughter a horn of ale and she took it eagerly, downing a full swig.

Mikel was a bit put off by the mage's vocabulary, but figured that he was just pretentious. He looked at their supplies they were carrying. Their reason seems to check out.

The guard looked up to the sky to see the time of day. "You made it in time stranger. We're just about the close the gates for the night. You can go on in, but don't let me catch you causing a commotion or you'll be spending the night in a cell."

Jafnhárr sighed as he handed Reeth the pouch. ''A mercenary with a delusion. Well, at least he isn't as hot-headed as the Companions.''

The Companions grabbed their respective chests and headed outside into the courtyard.

Jofrodr mounted on their cart to serve as the pilot once more as the others of his crew got on the back. "Helgi, are planning on taking the cart back all the way?"

"No, that would take too long. I'd rather us take a ship back to Yorgrim." The Huntmaster replied. He looked to the others. "What do you say, a ship will be much faster than riding all the way back?"

Jofrodr turned to Reyl and Tannr. ''The cub has never been on a ship before. I wonder if he would dislike it.''

Agrunac joined with the other two housecarls and attacked the elves. Like before, he focused on giving them glancing blows that looked real but left little damage to his accomplises.

The Dwemer agents were holding their own considerably well in the fight, the King had not sent amateurs on this important mission.

Skorm and Kane were fighting at their all, not having discovered that they were being played.

Meanwhile, another group of Dwemer came out of the woods carrying another body that looked almost identical to that of the mage. They were keeping low to the ground with the body, moving slowly and using Illusion magic on themselves to appear invisible. It was a careful proceedure to make sure the humans didn't figure out the ruse.

The mage that had been defeated by Kane proved not to be dead. When his allies reached him, he remained perfectly still and let them heal his wounds so that he wouldn't bleed as they brought him out of the farm clearing.

"The body is in place, I repeat, the body is in place. Call off the attack." The voice echoed again the heads of the Dwemer.

Skorm was in the middle of a swing when the Snow Elf suddenly jumped back and yelled something to the others. They all began to run back towards the woods.

"They are trying to retreat!" Agrunac yelled.

"Do we go after them?" Kane asked.

Skorm looked back at the farmhouse and saw the woman through the window. "No, we protect the farm. Hold your ground. Stinralg, bring the husband inside and finish tending to his wounds. Kane and I will keep watch in case the Snow Elves come back."
