The group leaps into the undergrowth off the road. Setare resets his initial hiding spot when he sees the clear path that Karlov had left behind himself. He quickly moves some broken branches and things around, helping to cover the hole. As the clop of hooves on the wooden road drew nearer, everyone held their breath. The Talons didn't even pause in the steady pace as they continued down the road to the east. As they passed, those who chose to listen could hear them talking amongst themselves.

"... kept squirming for nearly half-an-hour. I mean have some consideration, right? We have to stay there until they are confirmed still and I nearly pissed myself from the wait," says one in a deep and gravelly voice, dripping with disdain.

"That Vistani dancing girl night afore was squirmer too, eh? HAHAHA", laughs a second, joined in chuckles by the rest as they begin to move past the group.

A third, their voice surprisingly high and fine asked, "Vorlov, you would need a stake more impressive than your own to make a woman squirm." The other two erupted into laughter so harsh and violent that they nearly fell from their mounts. The second, apparently Vorlov, merely mumbled a unintelligible response and spurred his horse to a slightly faster trot. Within a few seconds the four vanished down the road, leaving the lot of you alone yet again.

Karlov frowns deeply as he overhears their conversation, somehow his riven face becoming even more deeply lined. Once they have passed, he pushes his way back to the road. "Little wonder the land sinks further into undeath, if that is the standard of order," he growls once they are all back on the path. "Justice should be served, but it is not some spectacle to enjoy." He shoulders his pack and turns to head back down the road from whence they came. "I will do my best to put their bodies to rest, Kelemvor it seems has already granted their souls a merciful freedom."

“My words,” Set says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Set thinks. | My actions . . .

Hearing the way the supposed 'soldiers' speak turns Set's stomach. He's well aware that the abuse of power is hardly limited to Drow, but to this extent and in such flagrantly vile ways... were he a more righteous man, he might consider slitting the throats of those particular men in the night, had he the opportunity. And strange as it feels to agree with a religious type, he can't help but nod his agreement at Karlov's assessment, lip curling in disgust.

"Least I won't be hesitating if we end up having to fight any of them. Considering the way they talk, their behavior's probably the standard." He follows back toward the road, slowly, carefully, mindful not to make any noise that might be loud enough to be heard by the riders. "I know we weren't planning on running into them, but maybe actively avoiding them and anywhere they might be would be the smart thing to do."

Falken holds his breath as the riders pass, always keeping his eyes trained on them. Once the danger appears to have passed, he sighs quietly. Following Karlov back onto the road, he replies to the cleric's comment: "Don't be mistaken; this isn't justice - it's meant to feed fear into the people and make them obedient. And for the most part, it's working."

Looking at Setare, he adds: "Which is why I'm hiding at the first sight of anyone. And why I don't plan on going to Lekar."

He looks ahead. "Well, we better get moving again, before nightfall."

Karlov grumbles as they set off down the rutted road again, the skies remaining stubbornly grey and overcast. "People cannot run forever, evil will not be content in its corner. Like darkness, it will spread in their wake, forever nipping at their heels until they turn and drive it back. " he replies grimly. It's clear what he thinks they should be doing, no matter the consequence. But then, when has a priest of Kelemvor ever feared death?
