The group arrived at Bthardmaz. The outside was empty, unguarded.

"There used to be a cult here." Said Darach. As they approach the entrance to the underground. "Worshippers of Peryite.  They called themselves the Afflicted.  They had crazy magic, like vomiting disease, teleportering, shape-shifting.  Then the Dragonborn came and cleaned them out, some say at Peryite's behest.  You can still find a few of them left, scattered around Skyrim, but since then this place has been empty.  Now we're here to clean Hummel out."

Tomas nodded. "Good talk.  Let's move." They descended into the depths of Bthardmaz. They encountered little resistance at the start, one guy who Tomas made short work of, until they entered a grand room. It was practically a giant pool with a stone bridge going around it, and then into the next room. There were at least twenty guys in this one room, managing tech, working on automatons. Not all of them were armed at the moment, but they all had weapons within reach.

"This is going to get messy." Said Tomas.

"Here's the plan.  Utahsi, get in the water.  I want you to go all guerilla warfare on them, reaching up and pulling people off the sides of the bridge.  You guys with magic and bows, stay on the high ground on that ramp right there, behind the guys with swords.  They'll form a front line and push forward.  All that, combined with Utahsi's assualt, should be enough to disrupt and defeat them. They all look like they have swords or bows, so our magic will give us the upper hand." With that, Tomas lead them down towards the enemy.
