To Jaio<br/>"Yes, that is why I feel it best we keep an ear to the ground.  Your assessment is accurate in all senses- and it is a small town.  It is still under our protection however, and we need to keep it safe.  I do suspect it is a small group of bandits we will track and make short work of, but in planning one must try to account for all contentencies.  Wait..." She drew her sword and looked about.  A movement had caught her eyes, echoing softly in the trees towards he cold rising moon.<br/>An arrow flew, and missed them- either deliberately, an intimidation tactic, or with poor aim.   "Enemies approach."  She said and gripped her sword tighter.  "Dishonerable ones to attack from an attempted ambush."<br/><br/>Looking towards where the arrow flew from and now aware, eyes were revealed- Two men with drawn bows.<br/>(OOC: Roll Initative- That is wits Plus Awareness)<br/><br/>To Bound and Ivan<br/><br/>The bandit licked his lips.  "A simple dance might be in order girl.  Surely you can do that much.  And this moonlight it would look quite errotic to have such a woman squirm. Or maybe more, I have not had a buety in my arms for some while."  He gripped a rope.  "And the guild does pay well.  Dance well enough and we will not have to take you to them, understood?"  The others looked at Bound, Ivan almost invisible  to them- which was the point.  And clear what they were.  Kidnappers attacking Lookshy, slavers trying to make a living.  A fools errand.
