Action by Aleksei
So! Aleksei has volunteered for Silas's job of hunting down and killing CHANSE GRAYHOPE. He has given Aleksei directions ("If one goes to the beach from the East Gate of the city, swims out, and dives, there is some kind of underground hidden dock or grotto. There is allegedly a secret room there with paintings of light and dark elves. The man you are looking for is Chanse Grayhope, an agent of the Rex'alfar.") and a small contingent of Iron Guards (in leather! not steel) with Serafine coming along to make sure they follow Aleksei's orders and to help. Aleksei will be going in in leather armor to get into the hidden dock/grotto and try to take out Chanse and return with the body. If necessary, he can bring another PC depending on how you guys want to do things. Let me know if you need any more details!
Result
One would expect, 'We are the Iron Guard, halt' to have -some- sort of effect on the men that were working inside the smuggler cove as Aleksei and Serafine with their Iron Guard escorts went to hunt down Chanse Grayhope, but they surprisingly didn't. In fact, they were attacked by a half dozen men that seemed more like shavs from an flagless smuggler's ship who fought more like fanatics than worried criminals, screaming war cries and laying into them, while the ship struggled to get under way and escape. The fanatical shav-smugglers cut down the Iron Guard escorts in the fighting before Aleksei and Serafine are able to kill them, the duo managing to board the ship as it gets under way and quickly finding themselves under assault by yet more shavs... while the ship pulls out of the cove and Victus' waiting thraxian ship runs it down. As Victus' men flood in and help cut down the shavs on board, more than a few scream, 'BLOOD FOR SKYLORD! BLOOD FOR THE SKYLORD! KILL THEM ALL!' and not a one was willing to be taken alive. On the ship, there's no sign of Chanse Grayhope, and searching the tunnels including the room with Nox'alfar symbols turns up nothing. There's no trace of him, as if he vanished in thin air, and he won't be found in Arx again. One of the dying shavs whispered, 'We care not, we die as Malardin' before expiring, however.
