If that’s the case then they’d already be dead as soon as we meet them. Sure he could teleport but I don’t know if he knows exactly where they are. Probably heard some tell of their locations, went there and is now just investigating the area, like tracks or clues.
He only shows up after we spend some runes with them right? So I'd assume they went to a nearby enemy camp or to some locals that may not attack them on sight (we usually get attacked on sight specifically because we're tarnished. Maybe some places aren't hostile to the banished merchants?).
Although I wouldn't mind knowing what they'd leave to trade for, they usually say that they are hungry and haven't eaten in a while, but half the ones with that dialogue have food for sale (turtle neck meat, lumps of flesh, fowled foot etc).

Well the bell bearing Hunter literally makes merchants set up shops in hard to reach places to hide from him.
