So are we just hoping that Horra's daughter didn't tell him any details about our break-in?

That's useful information too, because it means she's playing both sides, and we shouldn't feel like we owe her anything. At worst, we just admit it and move on, and we've still profited by collapsing that wave-function.
Anyway, argument about using Fight for your Life and saving Odr for later is sound, tweaked.

We've set foot on his lands. His lair is on his lands.
I mean, aside from that, this is solid, but technicalities matter, and I don't want us to step in that particular trap later.

Note the distinction.
"I've not taken anything from your lands"
"I don't know anyone who's so much as set foot in them."
These are not the same, though it might sound that way, this is working as intended. In the end, we're probably going to have to own up to trespassing, the key is making him burn resources on proving that instead of defending himself.

GOD have you guys been watching Suits or what? This is some smooth shit.
Unless she's got a bomb in her throat too, her and wolfwind seemed to be friends, now Wolfwind has a metaphorical collar, perhaps there was shenanigans and the daughter is collared too.
I have no idea how this line of thought helps Halla, but if the opportunity arises she should consider it, why have enemies when you could have friends type of thing.

Nah, just a lot of old crusty vets of the Questsphere using their noggins as intended.

Where did you get this impression from? We've never seen her and Wolfwind interact.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Indeed, the only indication they might be is that both saw us and said nothing. We probably know Wolfwind's motivation there, and her being in on that with him is quite plausible, but not the only possibility by any means.

Is there anyway to wring him of more by blaming him for the Troll-men?
Edit: If we get him outlawed this would give Steinarr free range to burn Horra's shit to the ground right?

Well... there have been two different people strongly associated with Horra who spotted our fylgia and then said nothing. It might suggest a connection.
One thing I just now realized in particular, though... the Elephant Merchant is neutral. That's pretty much proof positive that the elephant really was stolen. If he'd sold the thing to one of Horra's people and just didn't want to admit it for whatever twisty reason, he'd be pretty significantly biased one way or the other.

Nah, he wouldn't be able to destroy Horra's house since Horra would lose possession of it. However, he'd have free reign to burn Horra to a crisp, which is nice.
It doesn't mean that they're friends. There's a good chance they're be connected, sure... but it'd also be plausible for them to have done it independently of one another, considering how Wolfwind is being held hostage and no one likes Horra.

Probably not. We have no proof and even some slight evidence against that idea. It was probably him, but even bringing it up weakens our case.
Not all his property, no. But it would give him free range to burn Horra personally, and anyone who shelters him, which is good enough.

I hope Horra's ready to run another Decade LOL; but this time at the most inoppurtune time he'll be smacked with Standstill.

Hopefully Horra didn't clear out his Sanctum despite our trespassing... it would be very awkward trying to donvince the judges otherwise.

Very unlikely. He had no reason to, I don't think...there was no evidence we'd been there or knew where it was. He can't have unlimited places to secretly store that many draugr and moving them is thus making them less concealed, exactly what he doesn't want, unless he knows for a fact we know about the sanctum.
Like, where else is he gonna hide an army and an elephant?
- Pronouns

Er...no? He has a dicepool of 15. Slightly better than us but not decisively so, especially since we have 12 bonus successes going forward (Drengskapr and Frenzy kicking in) and he has 10 at most (we've actually been told that number likely goes down), which actually equal it out math wise (since three dice equal 2 successes mathematically) even if he doesn't lose successes and we don't use our Muna or Odr.

Could he transfer them during the proceedings? Like move them around to the Bandit camps or to a Dwarf fortress (roll credits)?

Not really. Like, Hugr 10 and Silver-Tongue 3 would result in this...and Silver-Tongue isn't Horra's strong suit we know for a fact. 20 would honestly be a lot more surprising, IMO.
I also though this, but I went back and looked and we were wrong.
Probably not. Imperial Fister indicated we weren't getting a dice pool in the same way and also, Horra doesn't outmuscle us heavily enough in this kind of conflict (we're honestly about on par here...we may be at a light disadvantage, but not enough for the Twist to kick in, it worked on the troll because the conflict could become violent any second, but that's not happening here).
I mean...how? He'd need to have some way of calling home magically and then someone who even could move them. Do we think Horra trusts anyone else to have control of his zombie army? Because I'm thinking not. Also, moving 50+ corpses and an elephant is gonna leave a hell of a trail and we have tracking, so...
