The group came upon a pretty horrifying scene.

First, it was pretty obvious the Morrowind Legionnaires were there, there were several tents set up and the group could see seven or so Legionnaires milling about outside. Secondly, it was pretty sure they weren't going to be friendly.

Battle-Mage Lara (the lady Weltrod sent with Hummel to watch him) was in plain sight. She was lying on the group, naked from the waist up, with her arms tied behind her in a pouch, like Tomas' hands had been when he'd arrived on his first day. She was covered in bruises and there was a nasty gash on her head. She was still alive though, her bare chest rose and fell heavily as she sucked in breath after breath. No one paid her any attention. Maybe they'd thought she was no longer a threat.

Darach lead the group to cover, behind some large rocks and in some shrubs.

"Okay, this bad.  Really bad." He stated the obivous. His voice was painfully quiet, so that the other students had to strain to hear. He obviously didn't want to be heard by the soldiers.

"Agreed." Said Tomas. "Let's get out of here."

"What?!" Exclaimed Darach, frighteningly loud. 'They've got Lara tied up over there, we have to rescue her. And it's our mission to get inside there, and find out where the Lexicon once was."

"Yes," Said Tomas, "you're right.  But, the last time we fought two of those guys we had trouble.  There's seven out here, and there must be a whole army inside.  We have all the intel we need, we can just go back to Weltrod and tell him what's going on."

Tomas and Darach continued to debate in hushed tones, each adamantly stating their own opinion, leaving the group with an interesting choice:

Carry out the mission, despite the new parameters; or retreat back to the Academy to inform Weltrod of the new situation.
