I'd like to know what you guys think of the fic, so please review!
Chapter 5: Letter

I did as you asked with the first shipment.
The second is waiting where you specified.

I chuckle throatily.
Gulum-Ei has been keeping an eye on the EEC shipments for me, logging all the weapons the Legion has flagged up for the war. All the shipments come pretty regularly a month, usually at the end. The latest one I have asked my contact to interrupt happens to be a pretty big one.
In this shipment there could be anywhere between seven to ten large crates. One crate contains potion ingredients not found in Skyrim. Two crates contain pre-made weapons. The rest comprise of the building block of such weapons, which means there are various metals, ores, leathers and woods.
Gulum has swapped out most of the metals for worthless pieces of Dwarven scrap. Small boulders have replaces the ores. Only a top layer of leather has been left; the rest replaced with worthless old and brittle stuff. The ingredients have had sea water poured all over them, rendering them mostly useless (according to Quintus, who had lectured us about this once).
All the Hold encampments will be getting an unpleasant surprise.
The 'second' shipment is actually the remains of the first. Everything Gulum has taken out he moved into his 'secret stash' which will then be shipped off to Windhelm, where Scouts-Many-Marshes will pick them up and distribute the pre-made weapons and any potions to the Stormcloaks.
The raw materials I will get Scouts to slip into a road shipment bound for Whiterun. Hopefully Adrianne and Eorlund will like their surprise. The city could do with some better equipment methinks. I wonder if Kara will attribute the influx of material to me?

Gulum is ready to go. Expect some packages soon.
I need you to get hold of some Banners for me. I need enough for two houses per city not including yours. Send the crates to our houses.
Once you send them off let Cyndric in the City of Riften know.
