The better part of a half hour passes before you hear an excited raucous approaching from behind the carriage. Looking back you would see Alexander leading a team of handcarts stacked full of kegs, atop of which was a scantily clad woman playing merrily festive music on a set of panpipes. As one would expect, such a display was drawing a crowd that were very eager to join in on whatever fun was to be had.<br/><br/><strong>"M'lady."</strong>He said to you in a casual greeting before turning to the team.<strong>"You and you, put the good stuff inside the carriage; you three put the four cheap ones on top of it."</strong>After issuing the orders, he went to he cart and offered a hand to help the kittygirl bard off the barrels so they could be loaded, escorting her to you.<strong>"This is Aisha; she's been my personal entertainer for a year now. I think she will make a wonderful addition to your harem, especially during particularly long journeys. If she is not to your liking, then she can simply play us out of town. Either way, I am good to depart."</strong><br/><br/>One everything is squared away, Alex hoists you to the top of the carriage along side him and ordered your favored slave to go at a trotting speed and for Aisha to play her most lively tune. With a sly wink to you, he popped the corks on the kegs of cheap ale much to the crowd's delight. They pressed in close enough to get their share of the drink, either catching it in a tankard or directly into their mouths, everybody cheering your name and singing your praise. It was only after the ale was gone, the casks discarded, and your transport well out of town that he revealed that the ale was heavily laced with aphrodisiacs, figuring that a city-wide orgy would leave a good impression on the benefits of acknowledging your authority.
