Worse, she did it ineffectually, both ruining any advantage of surprise or any chance that this might be resolved in a more... quiet fashion. "The idea is simple," she said, stepping out of the shadows, twirling one of her daggers. One of her usual, non-fancy ones. If you're merchants, as you say, we're here to give you a counteroffer. You stop... this. Whatever it is, you get far away from here and, in exchange, we'll allow you to keep your lives. Not a fair trade, perhaps. I don't expect that your lives are worth so much, considering." She made a disgusted face. "I can't abide masks, really. Never do anything that you're worried you'll get caught doing. That getup's saying both that you know you're doing wrong and you don't think you're good enough not to get caught doing it. Well, you got caught, so just go before you make things worse on yourselves."
