The party arrives in Mournhold and sets about infiltration and assault on the city. With beans planted in jars and dropped on the city, disguises donned to get into the castle, and failed efforts to deceive led to an all-out fight with House Hlaalu guardsmen, Helseth Hlaalu and his wife, and Thalmor Emissary Ivren. Maesa Hlalu, another member of the Morag Tong, also joined in on the fight, sister of Jacyn. This eventually led to the discovery of a purple gem that belonged to the assortment of diamonds for the Amulet of Kings.
