I must sneak up on some bandits and listen to what they say.

Also, I was doing the Companions quest line and was tasked with stealing some Silver Hand plans for Aela. On my way there some random guy runs up to me as I'm fight a smurfing necromancer or something and starts talking to me about holding onto something for him and he'll be back. As I was getting shot with smurfing lightning as this was going on, I went with the option to just go along with it and not ask further questions. I end up with some Ebony Gauntlets of Major Smithing and this bitch runs off. I kill the necromancer and go on my merry way of killing some Silver Hand members.

Anyone know wtf that was about?
