"I understand," Imry replied. He walked with Sorin and Alyssa to the Black Guard.

The door to the Blue Palace was opened, revealing a man in heavy Imperial armor, "Black Guard, take off all your apparel and give me your weapons."

"I suggest you follow the Imperial's orders," Imry said to the Black Guard.

The Black Guard meekly took off all his armor and handed his sword, bow and dagger over. He said "I'll tell you all! Corentin isn't fit to be a leader anymore! He ran away with a girl two thirds his age!"

Sorin heard it all and asked "was that girl a vampire? Is the Corentin you mention now also a vampire?"

"How did you know? Her name is Ariana."

"Well, I tortured another of your number to get information. Tell me where Corentin went!"

"I don't know! Please captain, lock me away in prison and get me away from these funny people!" whimpered the Black Guard.

Sorin turned to the imperial in armor and said "well, I would give some advice. Think carefully about killing him."

The Black Guard knelt down and pleaded for mercy. Sorin felt something fishy was going on. He asked "how is Ariana?"

"Corentin controls her by using dwemer magic. How he does that I don't know."

(BTW if the behavior is atypical, it means one of two things: Deception, or utter surrender. This guy might be in for a mission, but he might otherwise be here to bring the imperials to the dwemer fort and disable to defences)

(Corentin's defeat will mark the end of the arc that started with Leon Steelfang. I'll probably play along till I have ideas for a new subplot in Cyrodiil)
