I take my dagger dash in, swiftly thrusting it towards the man's neck.

The hit lands, he is dead. the other man are still screaming in pain.

per: You see a note on a table.

Rather than taking the note, I grab the dead man's longsword and approach the second man I shot in the leg. Planting my foot on his chest, I point the sword at his throat and demand him to tell me what is going on.

He dies from blood loss before you get any answers.

I go to the next man and try the very same thing.

He replies " i have no idea wht your talking about"

Poking the blade at his throat, I repeat "Tell me what is going on here! Who is this shopkeeper you were discussing?!"

he coughs blood.
" its...its the village in shopkeeper, we were payed to kill him."

I demand to know by whom.

I dont know...He owned some sort of blacksmithing shop...
