He was confident he could get close before Darius could cast, and was also pretty confident he could avoid whatever the first spell was. "These men were no travelers. They were a pack of worthless bandits that set upon trade caravans that passed through these deserts." He let out a low growl of annoyance as he passed over one of the corpses.
"A survivor from one of their raids put a bounty on them, and I just finished earning it." He walked over to another body, this one in slightly fancier gear, and nosed it over. "The leader. There's a token on him I am to take as proof of my kill. If you are not hostile, you have nothing to fear from me. If you try to take this token, though..." He turned to fix the mage in a cold stare. "I will kill you."
