That plan would have worked, but unfortunately for them, a certain Wood Elf belonging to Blue Pegasus wanted to do some late night training to hone her skills. But of course, those plans were now ruined. Training in the forest would have to take some place some other day. In the meantime, she could at the very least obtain some practice in the field.
Before the two pirates could come out from the alley, Atani hid herself such that they would not be aware someone was following them. Once they did show themselves, she watched to see which direction they went. Once she was sure she was out of their sights, she safely came out of hiding and once more went in pursuit of the members of Crossbones. If that was even their name. She had only briefly looked at the request after all. Perhaps it would have been better if she read up on the group some more, but it was too late for that at this point. She was already on her way to their boat.
It did not take long for her and the pirates to reach the cove. All the while, she remained hidden. She made no indication that she was following the two, and the two made no indication that they knew they were being followed. So far, everything was going as planned.
Atani waited for the two to board the ship before slipping into the dark waters herself. The mage used her water spell to breathe beneath the ocean. Upon resurfacing, she found herself at the hull of the ship. A very familiar sight. The elf pulled herself up on board and locked her aim on one of the pirates who she scouted out in the alley. Without saying a word, she let the arrow fly. It pierced their leg, causing the pirate to crumple to the ground in pain. She shot another arrow at the other pirate, aiming for the arm this time since she saw a sword sheathed in the pirate's belt. The arrow hit its mark. She then thrust her hand into the sky, and a rain of pain came down upon the pirates below. They were... taken care of. Oh, almost. She sent another arrow flying in the direction of a pirate who looked like he had a little more fight left in him. He collapsed on the spot.
She felt a little bad taking this group by surprise. It was slightly unfair, but so was attacking merchants who in all likelihood didn't have great battle experience. So, she didn't feel too bad about it. With all that done, however, Atani took back the loot they stole and went to return it whilst alerting the authorities about this pesky group.
