Once the captain gave the signal, Noelle had stealthy dropped into the water, drinking the contents of the potion before her head went under. Unfortunately, her mage robes were hardly suited for swimming and gave her a lot of drag. She lagged behind the others, which she noticed when Sharee seemed to be waiting on her. Not wanting to be the weak leak of the crew she sped up. Soon enough they managed to reach the boat where Noelle used the net to get up to the deck. By the time she got there most of the crew was already fighting the East Company guards. Noelle was about to join when an arrow whizzed pasted her face. An inch or two closer and that would have gone through her head. She turned and saw an archer notching his next bow, which was more than enough incentive for Noelle to take cover. She bemoan her lack of range weaponry, but she did managed to fire off a Frenzy spell at the archer before he could let loose another arrow. Noelle quickly ducked back into cover as the archer began to shoot his own allies, before he was eventually taken down by one of the other recruits.

And just as fast as it started, the skirmish was over. But the battle was just beginning. Noelle saw two Khajiit raise the sail as she herself when below deck to clear out the other East Empire crew members. Noelle took out her silver blade and turned it into a short sword, covering it with her special "Lover's Spite" poison. She also put on some Mage Armor since she's going to have to get in close. She followed after Sharee, but soon took point herself. The first crew member she ran across Noelle stabbed him with her blade, and the effects of the poison was immediate. His body slumped to the ground, paralyzed and slowly dying. If no one came by to finish him off, the poison would do him in. Noelle still had a bit of poison on her blade too, so she went on ahead to face the next enemy. It was an orc , who probably head the commotion topside because he was armed with a warhammer. Noelle didn't get a chance to check what kind because the moment he saw her he charged at her. She slashed him with the poison and he went down as well. However Noelle wasn't sure if he would die from the poison like the last one, so just to be safe she stabbed him in the back again, give or take somewhere around the heart. She stabbed him again just to make sure, before she used her Illusion magic to turn invisible to sneak up on a new enemy.
