Korinth wooped as he dropped from the tree, crashing onto an enemy below. He swung his glaive, slicing into whatever enemy he could find. Koltok unsheathed his long knife, looking for an enemy to hack.

What seemed a silver whirlwind in miniature slipped into the scouts' midst and two lay dead almost instantly. Meleth paused, silver hair floating like a cload around her and twin knives bloody from her attack.

Avalyn emedietly leaped atop one of the now rather confused and disoritented troops, and tore through his neck. Obviously, killing him.

Lana's sword plunged into the belly of the last of the soldiers. She wiped her sword on a bush before straightening. "Well done," she said smiling. "Now raid their bodies. They'll have weapons and rescources on them. Don't take their armor though. Then drag them off the road." She bent over the man she just killed and proceeded to removed a dagger from his belt.

Koltok pulked a handfull of arrows from a man's quiver. They were pinfully thin and short for his liking, and for the size of his bow, so he put them aside for another to take.

Korinth grinned as he rumaged through the fallen men. As morbid as it seemed, he enjoyed the hunt for a dead man's possesions. His hand fell on a well made dagger and a bag of coins.

Meleth pocketed a few gold rings, probably stolen, and after some searching pilfered a tiny boot dagger and a larger hunting knife. She stood up, her face grim - she had never enjoyed plundering corpses, enemy or not.

Aldaar jumped over one of the soldiers nearby like the rest of the company and slashed his two swords into the soldier's body. As he heard Lana's command lately, he checked on the soldier's pockets, body respectively. "Wow look what I got" he said. "A necklace made of diamonds and a small bag of fortune" he grinned. He quickly put that in his pocket. And dorve the body off the road as ordered. "Hey Lana, you want me the diamond necklace I found?" he asked to her.

The vrtich was satisfied with what she found. She found a small purse, a whetstone, and a large, bone-handled hunting knife. Lana looked at the necklace. It was beautiful and for a moment she was tempted. "I must respectfully decline. Save it for your mistress." She smiled then grabbed the man by his arms and proceeded to drag it into the woods.

Meleth did likewise, dumping a decapitated man into a bush and tossing his head, with some distaste, after him. "On we go," she said tightly. "That's one troop disposed of."

Avalyn formed back to normal, as the forest nymph she was, although she was now much more tired, and her clothes also showed it. Her hair was not in the tie it was in, but strands fell loosly around her face, intruding her vision. Blowing them away, she pulled the bodies into the forest, covering them with leaves, should anyone of their enemies come past this road.

(skips to Cutthroat)
The sky overhead was beginning to darken as Lana led the small group through the forest. "Halt," she called out. "We must give them the signal or we'll be dead if we continue." She cupped her hands and let out a series of bird calls. In return an arrow with a red ribbon attached flew down from overhead and landed a few feet in front of them. Her horse slightly pranced at the arrow's approach but Lana kept her under control. With a signal, she trotted forward, taking an invisble path through the forest. Unexpectedly, they burst out of a wall of trees and found themself in a clearing surronded by tents.

"Welcome to Cutthroat," she said.
It was shabbier then Whiteleaf but not by much. Lana dismounted and haned her horse to a groom waiting nearby. Several more stablehands were lined up at attention as they normally would when waiting for patrols to return.

Meleth likewise handed her horse to a groom, but kept her smaller weapons with her. She stretched, like a cat, and took the clearing in with a glance. "Ingenious," she remarked to Lana. "I shall have to come back and visit sometime."

_________________

Lana smiled. "Yes. It is. Cutthroat develops our intelligence and whatnot while White Leaf takes action, puts it to use, and trains our armies. Cutthroat is well hidden because of the brains these people posess."

Rieltar hmhed quietly and gazed around, truth be told he had never been to cutthroat and he was given the image that the weirdest fellows of the rebellion could be found here.

"Stupid I think, not the idea of training, but concentrating it into one place. What if this camp is found and destroyed? Are you simply going to start another one all over?"

Rieltar inquired.

"This is war" Korinth said softly. "Chances are taken, even if they run a risk. These men and women here are cunning planners who compose great ideas together."
