It was pretty late, she thought to herself as she ran across the outskirts of Iwa. This next job was easy money and she knew it, though the work was getting shadier and shadier. The wierd man by the tree that youka had been getting information and work from always seemed to show up randomly and with a strange request. This time she was to head off these merchants at the pass and steal their wares to bring back to the strange man. It seemed simple enought, she figured. Some one had something he had taken illegally from the boss, and She was to get it back, but something about this felt strange. Could it be that she was actually working for the enemy and stealing from good people? she pushed the thought out of her head. 

Finally she reached a small patch of forrested looking area. It was strange to see trees in the hot rock filled country but for whatever reason there were small groves here and there within which people generally took cover. She stepped through the forested area slowly. The grounds crinkled with every step, making it incredibly unfortunate and problematic for her.  Looking up, she searched for a tree whose branches looked particularly sturdy. She wasn't terribly big, so it's not like she needed too much, but if she took the time to jump up in order to make a more silent approach she damn sure wasn't going to go through the trouble just to fall and give away her possition and existence. There was a large tree just a meter ahead, and she easily pushed off the ground to float swiftly up to it, catching onto the trunk for balance as she touched down against a large branch about a half foot in diameter. Walking backwards she set up for her next move, pushing off of the tree to soar across the sky to the next branch and continuing the patern to quickly follow the tree line six meters above the ground until she saw smoke billowing nearby. She stopped, about ten meters from the smoke to drop down, Activating her shadow mastery to be caught silently by one of the large black shadows. A pathway of shadow rose up quickly for her to walk on, ensuring she wouldn't be heard as she approached. 

    Peeking her head around a large tree within feet of the encampment she saw, luckilly that the idiots were passed out drunk around the fire. Calling out a shadow tendril she probed into the camp, slowly at first for fear that they had left someone as look out, but once she wasn't spotted the tendrils rose quickly to search through the tent and surrounding area. She found a large crate marked "Stolen goods. Don't transport in the open" And decided surely this was it. The shadows easilly lifed the crate up and out from it's possition directly beside a large scruffy faced man who rested his head against the earth just to the left of the large bonfire. With her prize in hand she headed quickly to the meet up point to collect her rewards.
