Thankful for their assistance in pulling him from his out of control wagon, Finneas, a small elaborately dressed gnome, invites RaGinn, Svaela and Ephyra in to rest. They visit for hours, talking of adventures and treasures he has found. The rest of the party, JaInamie, Nirius and Wuunferth come across the chaotic scene. They notice a man attempting to pocket some of the belongings scattering the street. Wuunferth knocks him out and they return the items to the wagon, finding their comrades and joining them. Finneas offers them a job protecting him while he meets an old friend. He offers them their choice of any one item from his wagon for payment. The group agrees. Finneas explains to them that his old friend, Clevas, a fellow gnome mage, contacted him about meeting him in Stormcloak City as soon as possible. Clevas asked Finneas to bring with him a map they had discovered years ago. After years of research, they concluded that the map lead to something of great power. Finneas explains that he feels Clevas is acting strangely in wanting to meet in a public place and wanting Finneas to come so urgently.
The group also meets Pike, Finneas' raven familiar and express that they would each like one as well. Finneas arranges for each member to pick up their own raven from a local shop later in the day, free of charge.Ehpyra and RaGinn have a conversation about the Skeleton Key and they question Wuunferth's loyalties.
Nirius and Wuunferth converse about Wuunferth's desire to find the Key. He explains to Nirius that he wants to free those who are trapped in Coldharbour in order to defeat Molag Bal, then moving on to other Deadric Princes. Nirius encourages Wuunferth to be honest with the rest of the group about his intentions. He cautions Wuunferth about bringing attention to the group. Once the rest of the party arrives to the Lodge where Finneas is to meet Clevas, Wuunferth lays out his plan to the rest of the group before their job commences. He meets with some opposition from certain members of the group, mostly RaGinn and Svaela, who want Nocturnal to be left alone.
The group sees a gnome gentlemen sit with Finneas and they scatter throughout the lodge to keep watch. RaGinn overhears part of their conversation about the map leading to an artifact of great world shaking power and that in the wrong hands, could be dangerous. Finneas expresses that he wants it destroyed or sealed away. Clevas attempts to convince him that it will be safe protected in the Tower.
RaGinn and Wuunferth witness as a tall Dunmer male walks up behind Svaela, places his hand on her shoulder and whisper in her ear. The two disappear.
At that moment, Sindrin and Ukasei who had been somewhere in the lodge attack RaGinn. A battle commences as patrons flee from the lodge. The groups kills Sindrin and Ukasei disappears before they can stop him.
