REWARD
1000 SILVER PIECES
FOR THE CAPTURE OF CYAN GREENLEAF
Stealing through the brush like a hunting cat, his cloak granting him a sort of limited invisibility, Cyan trailed the path the horse had gone far enough to catch voices in conversation.
Eyes narrowed, he stole up a tree and crouched among its branches, the speakers now visible by the campfire they surrounded.
Squatters. The elf thought sourly. Bloody fantastic...I'll have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't step out of line. The last thing I need is this lot doing things in my name and building my bounty up.

Nahya Spinebreaker~
Nahya would bow in return, the panther doing the same with her own head.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintances." She replied, pausing momentarily, "I am Nahya Spinebreaker and this is my companion Noksumarl as I'm sure you know now." Nahya stopped speaking when Noksumarl let out a guttural growl, focused in a direction close to Kaliste. Nahya would raise her hand, her amber hues staring behind the woman and her horse, Kyran. A pale blue hand would slide back, reaching for a throwing dagger at her belt.
"We're not alone..." Came her voice, serious as her speech seemed to take on more of an accent with such small phrases.
[Figured I would get you involved Cale. C=]

.:Kaliste:. As she spoke, Kaliste tuned in. Her mind was not about her today. Something was wearing at her, though she was unsure as to what. As soon as she was aware of the being presence, she drew her katana and pushed Kyran to stand over by Dreavin, the only other place where he felt safe. "I suggest you show yourself, o Silent Observer." She held her long sword at the ready, backing up to stand by Dreavin.

Dreavin
Dreavin had noticed a slight magical aura, but the lack of a physical body had made him think that it was someone back in town. but focusing his heightened senses there was someone nearby, but they were cloaking their presence. Dreavin took Kyran's reigns and placed his free hand on the hilt of his scimitar. he flicked back his hood revealing his dark skin, his white hair brushed down his shoulders, his pipe still hanging in his lips.

Or else what? Cyan thought to himself, mentally answering the woman as he remained concealed withing the tree a good fifty paces from their camp. You come and hunt me? Sorry, lass, but I've been there before.
They all stood around like a bunch of loons, their hands on their weapons as they looked around at the greenery around them, never laying eye on his true location.
If he were a more bloodthirsty fellow, he could have snuffed all their candles from where he sat. But Cyan wasn't a murderer, and these lot had nothing on them worth stealing.
They would be the ones to cross the line first, not him. For now, he just sat and waited with a hunter's endless patience.

Nahya Spinebreaker~
Nahya would settle to the ground turning her head into the panther's ear, muttering something quietly. With a slight nod that panther padded forth, raising its great head to sniff the air for the proper location of their invisible visitor. The beast would then wander, disappearing into the bushes as the panther worked to trace the elf's location.
Nahya remained in the camp wary of the unseen presence as she too moved forward to coincide with Dreavin and Kaliste; standing with them in a group.

.:Kaliste:. After a moment she decided that if whoever it was had meant them harm, they would've done it. She sheathed her katana, but kept her hand on the hilt as she reached down to pick up the pheasant where it lie. Kyran sidestepped, still lacking trust of his surroundings; well, more of what was hiding in them. Kaliste clicked her tongue, Kyran pushing his nose into her waiting hand.

FOR THE CAPTURE OF CYAN GREENLEAF
Hunting dogs were nothing new to the Outlaw, though the hunting panther was a new one. Cyan's eye followed it as it slunk into the brush.
A subtle gesture, not seen beneath the cloak, and an eggshell filled with cayenne powder landed directly in the sniffing creature's path, bursting into a peppery, snius and eye stinging cloud.

Nahya Spinebreaker~
Noksumarl wandered into the path, releasing a terrified yowl of pain and surprise. The animal backed up, rearing onto it's hinds as front paws were brought up to rub at the face and eyes. Nahya heard the noise of her companions fright and darted into the bushes, stopping to see her Noksumarl lying low now and rubbing the irritation. Nahya's eyes narrowed as she ran towards her friend, reaching out to touch the creature; but stopping when the animal growled.
"Noksumarl, shame that you growl at me." With these words the creature stopped, whining slightly as Nahya moved to check her face, clearing the cayenne as best as possible without water. As she worked she let out a hainous growl, her eyes wandering to catch the remnants of the cloud some distance away. Her eyes fell upon the trees and she swore in troll before speaking properly.
"Only swine mistreat creatures! Especially ones who mean no harm to any extent!"

Dreavin
Dreavin focused with all his strength trying to focus in on this small trace of magical aura, he couldn't let this feeling that he had go. Deep in the back of his mind his primal Drow feelings screamed to him, but at that moment it felt like a distant whisper. Elf Magic! it said to him, He soon came into a trance like state blocking out the world around him, straining to see the hidden foe, but all he could see was a slight ripple in this plain. His lavender eyes glazed over, his assassin's training that was forced upon him for over a century took over, not noticing the movements around him.
Then suddenly he saw the fragment thrown from a tree, you shouldn't have moved. He thought as he pounced into action, the movement gave him enough direction in his trance-like state to hone in on the exact tree the hidden foe was sitting in. And within moments he was perched in the tree next to the invisible figure his hand pulling his dagger out of it's sheath.

Cyan rolled his eyes.
Didn't mean any harm? The Panther companion you sent prowling around for me didn't mean any harm. Get off your high horse, troll. Its a large predatory cat that you clearly sent for me. It got what was coming to it.
He knew the woman couldn't hear him. All she could hear was the sounds of the forest.
The first opportunity he got, the outlaw decided he would withdraw. He had already drawn the conclusion that they were a bunch of wannabe toughs, either outlaws or bounty hunters. Regardless, they posed little threat to him. If they brought too much trouble to his woods, he would bring the hammer down, but for now they were low priority. The task that lay before him was how to extricate himself without drawing some trailers.
In a microsecond he had plunged the blade of his knife in the drow that had ninjaed beside him and bolted into the forest, moving entirely on honed reaction and leaving the wounded man behind him.((Edited. Tsk tsk. shame on you Deavo.))

.:Kaliste:. Suddenly, Kaliste had closed her eyes, the world now non-existent. Images of her past flew before her, taunting her mind. She fell against Kyran, who hastily sank to the ground, Kaliste laying against him. She had blacked out. In her minds eye she could see Dreavin fading off and the magical aura that was their observer. She watched as her companion was stabbed, the scene fading. Her sight was replaced by images of her father and the brutal sealing process before everything went black. Kyran panicked, sending out loud pleads of help, hoping Dreavin would hear. He had been watching his master closely for the past week, watching as she wore down. The more sleepless nights he knew she went through, the worse she became. This was the conclusion.

Nahya Spinebreaker~
Nahya wanted to defend Noksumarl, but considering the creatures discomfort she resisted taking to the trees and going for the attacker. Instead she helped the beast to a stand and led Noksumarl away and towards the slower part of the river so she could flush the animal's face of the pepper.
