No sex either, I'm guessing.

There might have been an intermediate step 
available to roStevan, between "talk to him" and 
"capture him." Maybe bring him a hanky and a 
bologna sandwich. But I guess roStevan isn't used 
to people not deigning to talk to his minions.

SaHqu'. qatlh ra'be', "peDoH" Heghpa' Hoch?

>SarghmeyDajDaq toS roStevan 'avtanDIl je,

You're going for the English style "each on his 
horse". Sarghmeychaj makes more sense to me here. 
Or do the horses both belong to roStevan. Or 
maybe they get on the stranger's horse?

I would be confused by SarghDajDaq toS negh, but it's an excellent question.
