The Mercenarys Guild were approched by a trader named Arden Solder who wanted a business partner of his, another trader called Don Eldar, killed for cheating him. Arden was quite adamant that Don must be killed in his home at a given time and in a gruesome way, so as to send a message to anyone else who might try to cheat him.
A little investigation showed that Don was an arms dealer who had a monopoly on arms deals in the magic quarter of the city by having his thugs beat up any competition. So the Mercenarys posed as arm dealers, wanting to strike a deal with him; upon talking with Don it seems he has never done deals with Arden. Arden put this down to Don being scared of him. However a little investigation showed Arden to be a rare goods merchant who dealt mostly with the magic guilds, in particular with the Flame Society and Arden was overheard saying in a tavern "I've got those mercenaries completely fooled, we can proceed as planned".
Nevertheless the Mercenaries decided to go ahead with their mission and despite a few members having second thoughts about killing in cold blood, dispatched Don in a suitably bloody way. But in a moment of post-killing looting the Mercenaries realised some one else in the house with them, whos reaction to the mercenaries trying to get into the room was: "What was that?", "Shit its the Mercenaries!". The Mercenaries bust in in time to see three men running into the shadows, each with an armful of books froms Dons study. . .
