Briefly explain who the three men were and what they were doing.
The three men were pursuers in search of fugitives who had wandered into a desolate, vast valley. The most prominent of the three was a man with a silver-studded bridle, who appeared to be the leader of the group. The other two were a gaunt man with a scarred lip and a little man riding a white horse. These three continued their pursuit along a winding trail in the valley, armed and on horseback.
