Bounty seekers

The bounty seekers were a trio of bounty hunters sent by Baron Abon Duum of Manshaka in Calimshan to recapture Vajra Valmeyjar, the famous veteran slave-gladiator of the Arena of Blood who had escaped the baron's service.

History
Baron Abon Duum wanted Vajra back in his service, as she'd been very profitable to him as a gladiator, and so sent the bounty seekers after her.

In the Year of the Prince, 1357 DR, the bounty seekers had pursued Vajra to the city of Waterdeep. There, they heard of a street brawl in which Vajra and her companions had beating off some thugs attacking a drunken beggar, Priam Agrivar, outside the Inn of the Crescent Moon. The bounty seekers found two of the thugs, roughed them up, and demanded to know which way Vajra and her companions had gone. Though the thugs hoped for a share of the reward, the bounty seekers killed them once they got their answer.

The bounty seekers tracked the adventurers on the way to Stoner's Needle, and ambushed them as they returned. The leader threw a noose around Vajra's neck, the woman tossed a net over Timoth the centaur, and the barbarian caught both Cybriana and Onyx in his arms. However, they missed Priam Agrivar, who'd left the group a short time before but saw the attack.
