Macbeth Act III, Scene iii Summary

At a park near the palace, the two murderers are joined by a third. Only a bit of light remains in the sky.
Banquo and Fleance approach on horseback and dismount to walk the mile to the palace, as usual.
Banquo and Fleance have a torch, which is convenient for the murderers to see them by.
Banquo begins with a friendly "it looks like rain" conversation with the murderers, and then is promptly stabbed.
While being stabbed, he denounces the treachery and encourages Fleance to run away and eventually take revenge. In the meantime, the torch has gone out, and Fleance takes advantage of the darkness to escape.
Banquo squarely dead and Fleance on the run, the murderers head off to the dinner party to report the half of the job they've done.
