"Should we begin, sir? The plan in motion?" asked M'sarr Bratar, Ryothiel's second in command.

"Wait. On my word. The backup has not arrived. We won't be able to win either way, but we can get Merved out if our plan succeeds."

Elenwen arrived at the Windhelm gates, escorted by a group of Thalmor defectors (a mix of lower rung AD personnel), who had bound her up. They asked "you see, Merved worships Talos secretly, we know that. We are asking that you let us have a straight swap. We give you Elenwen, you give us Merved."

"We will not enter your city. We come in peace. We hope you stop torturing Merved, since he might aid our cause. It's a good swap, we get our man, you get the head honcho of the Skyrim Embassy."

(They are really AD defectors tired of Elenwen. Not disguised men. All have portal scrolls in case. They are suspicious of the Templars, though, and will not trust them, since they know what the Templars do to the Thalmor)

The agents behind Ryothiel gasped in horror. The embassy in Skyrim was rebelling!

Ryothiel himself said "damnit, we need to mount a rescue. But wait. Maybe, just maybe, if they bring Merved out, we can rescue both. A beautiful coincidence. I always knew there were sympathisers in Skyrim."

Ryothiel spat in disgust at the disloyal Thalmor.

"Change of plan guys, change of plan."

(If one of the rebels are attacked, they all vanish, taking Elenwen with them. Fighting Ryothiel's men will lead to very heavy losses in both sides.)
