<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"A chance to run away," </span>Cromir said plainly, letting her go but holding on to the lead.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"Which, by the way, will be how Pythus gets lunch one day. You run, he flies and turns all of that mist your clan seems to love into poison." </span>With that, Cromir walked over and grabbed his blade from behind his throne, slinging it onto his back and heading towards the gate. He stood there, waiting for the group to finish gathering at the gate with them.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"Scouts, go ahead and head out towards the city. I want to know which caravan is moving out first, and how close together they are. The tax money or the nobleman convoy. If it's the nobleman's, you can come back. We'll be too busy to grab the other one. If it's the other, wait a little bit then signal our friend in the tower and see if the nobleman will leave today. If he isn't, he isn't," </span>Cromir said, and with that, a section of his men walked by him, setting off at a brisk jog in one direction.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"Jahaul, set your men up at the front of the group. You'll be circling around and making sure that they have no where to run back to. That means yall get one thing to claim from someone else... if yall don't fuck up." </span>A group of people cheered a bit and chuckled among themselves at this new.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"Lyali, collect about half the strays and take them with your people. You'll be handling the sides and the guards. You all get first dibs in the sorting, unless Jahaul's boys want something."</span>One of the women stood tall in the midst of the crowd, pointing out a handful of people at this command.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"The rest of you are with me and Pythus. We make sure they don't get to their destination. We get the biggest cuts. Pythus will be cleaning up the scraps and finding his meal. If you're ballsy enough to try to stop that, then we'll have to have a talk if he ain't pissy."</span>The ones that Lyali did not point out moved a bit closer to Cromir, designating their place. Looking about the crowd, Cromir smirked and let out a bellow.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"Let's go hunting, boys!"</span><br/><br/>With that, the raiding party set out, the gates slamming closed behind them. It took about an hour as the crow flies to get to the road that these two were scheduled to be heading down. Cromir knew that they would be the only ones there. Not only was it in his territory, the capital had gone a decent enough job in crushing or 'civilizing' any other bandits in the region to be little more than armed militias or mercenaries. The road was flanked by trees on either siding, giving them the perfect amount of cover needed, while also giving an intimidation effect if anyone who wasn't their targets strolled by. The specific spot in which they were setting up was along a stretch of the road between two bends. It was barely big enough to allow two carriages to squeeze by side by side, and by the grooves in the ground, it seemed that most opted to stay in the center of the road. On the right, the bend there did not have the tree cover on the opposite site of the road from them. At the left bend, a river bubbled quietly long in between the road and the forest on the opposite site before jutting off somewhere in the forest. As Cromir's men dispersed into their locations, Cromir sauntered towards the bend on the right, dragging Braiya along with him. There was a rock he enjoyed sitting on while waiting for people to come by on this road. He plopped down, still holding Braiya's chain, and started to wait. He did give Braiya as much slack as he could without losing a proper grip on the lead. He didn't care too much about it. If she tried to run, then she'd just be caught, beaten, and then given a seat on Pythus' back as she watched her village die.<br/><br/>About an hour passed, and Cromir was getting bored. But this is exactly what he was expecting to happen, which is why he brought Braiya along. Pulling on her chain until she was in front of him, Cromir held the chain aloft with one hand as his hand grew busy between his legs. After a moment, his manhood was exposed, flopping out in front of Braiya.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">"Suck it,"</span>he commanded, pulling her closer to it.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300"> "You bite, I take your tail. You don't stop until either you hear a whistle like the one I gave earlier, or you're drinking my seed."</span>
