"That was very odd. As we started to pass between these two alleys I heard sounds of movement coming from them. The sounds of an ambush possibly but now it is gone." says Saim as he replaces his weapon on his waist. "Maybe whatever was there did not want to take a risk versus prepared warriors."

"Well there are a few organizations out there that would have people skilled enough to make it to your throne.

"Interesting that you would default to infernal. Well I guess we all have our own preferences and things we are used to. As for the traveling together, as much as I am used to working alone, I would venture to say our host has something requiring all our skills in mind."

"So we are hunting the informant then. Sounds like a challenge. Would you like the guilty party in one piece or in small easy to carry bags?"
