"Not granted" Benedict said, pointedly wiping the spit off his face. "But I won't kill you for a while."
A face peeped over the edge of the rooftop "I found 'em!" It roared drunkenly, before toppling off into darkness with a drunken hiccup.
Then pairs of hands began to scrabble at the wall far below and shouts of excitement reached the ears of the party.
"Ok, I won't kill you at all if we just get away from these damned drunks" Benedict conceded.
"Let's go!" Galhar snapped, and they went.

Ari followed the band of treasure hunters 'I'll have to keep an eye on the big one, so dirty and rude..I suppose I did attack them but then again I needed to' he thought as he ran. He dropped silently beside Galhar "What now treasure hunter?"

Halth's men followed the roaring, drunken crowd, keeping their distance but staying close enough to watch their targets.
The treasure hunters made a run for it, Halth's gang barged past the intoxicated horde, brandishing clubs and short bows with a flourish.
Two dozen men in total, splitting up, one group to cut of the outer city gate, two groups for ambush and one pursuit group.
The ambushers started climbing onto the huts and jumped across the densely pack roofs.
The pursuers plucked their way steadily through the slums, ever gaining on Ledlon's group.
The dozen men sent to cut off the gate had already got there through their superior knowledge of every nook and cranny of the city.
The ambushers in their three man groups spotted the treasure hunter's once more, the first thing Ledlon knew of this fresh and altogether more deadly chase was an arrow narrowly missing his head. Another flew into a house next to him, knowing these were probably range finding shots, he urged his men into a faster pace...

Halth's men cursed as their quarry escaped. Halth appeared then disappeared to get some mounts, the pursuit was going to have to pick up a pace if he was to keep on Malthurus' good side.
Using his bounty hunting skills, he soon picked up a trail into the forest.
It was just as his thugs had hoped, they had many more friends inside it, the foolish treasure hunters had only made their job much easier.
Splitting up once again, the groups went off to find the various bandits in the nearby camps. The promise of gold would surely lure in those that weren't affiliated with Halth.

Benedict looked at Ledlon cautiously. He seemed to be scheming something...
"Can you hunt?" he asked offhandedly.
"I can hunt if I need to. Killing things isn't exactly a skill I'm lacking" Ledlon replied carefully.
Benedict snorted "Kill things! Why the hunt is an art, not a simple butchery like combat is. To hunt an animal for its flesh is the ultimate sacrifice and the greatest gift! You take its flesh for yourself... if you simply slaughter the animal like an old dog or a foe in battle, why you waste the precious meat that you took a life to use!" He unshouldered his spear and pulled a pouch from his skin belt, hung with tassles and feathers. "Here. This contains a number of darts and poisons that can kill an animal in seconds, but will evaporate in the flames of a cooking fire. You waste not a scrap of meat or blood, the animal is whole."
Ledlon looked at him. "Or you could just kill the thing and cook it without worrying about saving a few scraps of meat."
Benedict nodded "Yes, that is indeed a simpler way of doing things." Then his face split into a grin and he began laughing uncontrollably. It was a long minute before he could finally catch his creath, tears streaming down his face, to say "I think I'm beggining to like you Ledlon!" before bursting back into fits of laughter.

Galhar stopped, and raised his hand, motioning for Ari to do the same. "Horse tracks." He whispered. "Fresh horse tracks." He snapped his head up, using his uncanny ability to see well in the night to examine their surroundings. A pile of dung lay nearby, still steaming, and bits of broken branch showed the horsemen's path. "We need to find Ledlon, and Benedict. I don't like this." He continued, before setting out at a jog, avoiding branches with ease.

Ari followed silently through the trees, 'Galhar is swift' he thought to himself as he trot behind the treasure hunter, hopping over fallen trees and dodging below branches. They reached the clearing where they had set up camp, Ledlon and Benedict were nowhere to be seen..in their place were 5 soldiers who at first looked shocked at the appearance of the two warriors but soon returned to alertness and brandished their sharp weapons.
Ari drew his katana which hissed menacingly as is slid from the sheath, he brought it up into ready position above his head and said challengingly "Lets go.."

Benedict paused as a blade slid over his throat.
"Move, tribesman, and I'll kill you."
Benedict raised an eyebrow and remained still. at least his body did. His hand snaked down to his belt and grasped the bone pin securing it.
Ledlon coughed politely as the man holding him tried to dig a knee into his side. "Please stop doing that." he sighed
The guard snarled and pressed his knee harder into Ledlon's side.
Benedict grunted angrily at his friend's humiliation and slid the bone our of his trousers.
He knifed Ledlon's attacker before spinning around to face his own.

One of the soldiers roared and charged, he jumped into the air and made to bring his military pick down on Ari but was effortlessly dodged and cut down, as his cleaved body hit the dirt the other men seemed to decide attacking alone would be a bad idea. Two charged at Galhar and he engaged them.. dispaching the two with ease as Ari decapitated the others.
"You're not bad for a treasure hunter" Ari smiled "Now lets find the others" and they set off again, this time taking care to check their surroundings.
