The common room could hold fifty people of they were rather friendly. Thirty would be barely comfortable, twenty would be normal capacity. Tonight there were nearly seventy. The Innkeeper was a heavy set jovial man of near fifty. His good wife was past mid forties and worked the kitchen with two of the eldest daughters. One was 26 and the other was 24. Both were married so worked in the kitchen where groping hands would not be a problem. Camby had four other daughters, two of them adopted, they were 21, 20, 20, and the youngest was 18. They worked the tables and tonight they had four women from the brothel hired to lend a hand.

The crowd was due to the Baron hiring adventurers to go into the High Moors. Rumors of a gathering of Lizardmen tribes to make raid the local settlements had people on edge. Not wishing to send his troops away in case there was trouble the Baron had come up with an alternate solution. Hire adventurers to go into the Northern Moor and locate any gathering horde of tribes. It seemed like a win-win to most people. Tonight they would enjoy a last night under a roof before heading out in the morning.

It was a tough crowd, and Camby was hoping against hope there would be no trouble. Normally he felt pretty confident he could handle trouble but not tonight. He had hired a pretty half elf bard to sing and dance. He had offered her an 80/20 split and a room if she could keep the peace tonight. He would be glad to lose 10% of the take if he did not have a bunch of dead people tonight to deal with!

Minidy Mendez knew what Camby wanted and she was playing the fiddle tonight. Light happy music to lighten the mood. When someone bumped into another she was there in a flash getting her petite body between anyone involved, a hip bump there and a slow grind to a leg there and she was keeping the peace as well as getting several coins.

When the catwoman came in several males noticed her at once. The cat's had a reputation as being a hot lay. They were rare and these fellas wanted to check out the thick muscled feline. Mindy saw them and slipped between them as she played her fiddle. She did a sort of backward lean into Tawny smiling her warmest smile. "Hello beautiful, are we still on for tonight?" She spun away looking at the much larger men who looked confused. "Sorry gents the lady is sleeping in my room tonight." Mindy swung around in a pirouette and going to her toppy toes to kiss one of them on the cheek. "No sense in fighting over a lady you have no chance with?"

The men departed, some grumbling. Mindy winked at Tawny and noticed her sexy green eyes for the first time. She licked her lips, "Sorry Miss. Bartender is giving me a big bonus for tonight if I can keep the peace. That lot was likely to fight over having you and well, if you are inclined toward any of them be my guest." Mindy continued playing as she spoke. She slid past Tawny "but I do have a room, it only has one bed but I wouldn't mind sharing."

Mindy continued on toward another table that appeared to be getting rowdy. Seems someone was claiming they had been tricked? It was going to be a hard earned bonus. Mindy was game and her red haired bounced as she danced and slithered through the tight packed crowd.

Kraggar was standing at the bar. He had yet to join any of the groups heading North in the morning. Some he knew would not want him. Others he wanted no part of himself. Thus far he had avoided any reputation as a bandit and he intended to not tarnish that. He wanted a room and a warm body to spend the night with. That was when he saw her.

She was all elf, to a fault, willowy, pale, with hair the color of spun gold. She looked almost too delicate to be real. How could anyone actually exist in the world being so sculpted in the perfect image of femininity. That golden hair extending to her waist, worn in an intricate hair style. Kraggar was smitten just watching her slip through the crowd like a ghost.

Four humans noticed her, rogues to the man. They surrounded her, one touching her hair, another his hand on her tight round ass. Two i front of her were just crude in comment and demeanor. Kraggar was annoyed. He stepped in and glared at the men. They were backing away when Camby leaned over "any trouble here gents?"

Kraggar never took his eyes off the men but shook his head "all good here Innkeeper. I was jsut about to guide my friend here to a table. Two bowels of stew and a salad for the lady." He smiled at Niallill Dawnchilde "my name is Kraggar miss. Would you be so kind as to tell me yours?"

Ryder MacCloud sat in a back corner near a window. He disliked crowds, tonight though he had little choice as he had a room upstairs already and he planned on enjoying the night in a bed under a roof. The High Moors would offer no such comfort and he fully expected to be there for several weeks at least. This was searching for a needle in a haystack. No clues and only vague reports were to be had about this Lizardman gathering.

He saw what was to happen just before it occurred. A large barbarian was deep in his cups and he was staggering toward a blue skinned Tiefling in a tight black outfit. He noticed her white freckles and dark blur hair even as he picked up his bowl and mug of honeyed mead.

Sure enough the barbarian nearly slammed into her and her only recourse was to sit in the chair opposite Ryder. Ryder smiled meekly and nodded his head "sure I would enjoy some company have a seat. Could I order you some stew? It is meaty and very tasty in my not so humble opinion."
 
Taverns sometimes made Tawny nervous, depending on how.... understanding they were. Occasionally she'd run into some where any sign of her feline features, be it the, well, tawny colored ears or the flicking tail, would be enough to draw eyes and start murmurs. Those she could handle, and she could certainly deal with those that were at least used to tabaxi, let alone half-tabaxi. Yes, there was the standard looks, usually people wondering which one of Tawny's parents "fucked a cat" or what have you, but enough understood and the Realms were balanced.

Then there were situations like this, where rumors of the Heat had spread before the monk could get there. They'd open their mouths before even really noticing that the body they ogled likely had more muscles than theirs, or that the loose robes not only let them see that tanned skin they drooled over, but also let her move freely. It usually only took a sharp glare: the hint of predator in Tawny's feline greens would get the message across. From time to time, she'd have to smash a head into something. And rarely she got...

The half-tabaxi startled as the pretty half-elf smiled and called a question. Her brow wrinkled, and she tried to remember if she'd perhaps been there during the Heat... but then she wouldn't have looked toward a female, regardless of how nice a body she had. Her tail flicked her annoyance, before she met the gaze. Okay, the bouncer, and a flirty one at that. "I'll keep my head down," the monk said, nodding her thanks, not seeing a need to make a scene for it. She scanned the room again, before looking for a place to settle. Rumors had drawn her here, and she firmly believed she could help. Though she did have to wonder about this group.

They were just so rowdy! Nia didn't know whether to cry, start preaching, see if she could help someone, or curl into the nearest corner. It didn't help that the crowd seemed to be mostly rowdy. She thought she saw another elf, or at least someone with half-elfish blood, talking to a stern, but pretty looking female with... were those cat ears? She looked like she could handle herself, whereas Nia wasn't even sure she'd prepared any offensive spells for the day.

The delicate elf trembled, wishing that her order let her wear more than the light elfish chain that covered her body. IT would protect, but she felt fragile, particularly when four burly men drew around her. "Ah, hello," she managed, her voice soft and light, a near squeak. "I don't---oh!" the last came out a soft gasp, the petite elf rocking to her toes for a moment as she felt a hand on her ass. "Um, I'd much rather you ask but I mean, I guess that's okay," she almost stammered, eyes going wide as they circled like predators. She felt her heart hammering, before remembering that she could probably use some of her calming spells. Just as she started to pray, a burly being with orcish blood came over.

"No trouble!" agreed the cleric, head bobbing. She gave the large male a grateful smile as she adjusted her intricately woven braid of golden blonde hair, almost playing with it as she took the offered seat. "Ah, I would appreciate the salad, yes. I, ah, have coin," she started fumbling. "Oh, I, um, I'm Niallill Dawnchilde. But, um, well, most people call me Nia?" she gave a smile, feeling her heart flutter, thrilled at the gentlemanly way he treated her. She nearly jumped as she heard a loud exclamation not far away.

"Oh wow!" cried Chastity, her blue eyes seeming to grow even wider. "It's a real tavern and everything!" her voice was high, almost childish, and the giggle that followed didn't help. The tiefling drew stares, likely at first because, well, she was a midnight blue creature with curved horns on her head. The stares would linger as they realized her daring, clinging leather "armor" seemed to be struggling to contain certain parts of her: laces atop looked about to burst and it seemed like the low slung leather shorts were near to bursting. Shouldn't be too much: the half-tabaxi seemed to be baring nearly as much skin (though she glared even at Chastity as the tiefling looked), and it wasn't like there wasn't.

"Omigod, so pretty," cooed Chastity, tail flicking as she saw the cutest, most delicate elf she'd ever seen. She let out a happy noise before seeming to realize that she was supposed to be here on a job, having escaped the city for this. Her demeanor shifted as she swaggered, moving with a light step that belied her true profession. Those cheerful eyes bounced, but only the most clever of observer would note that the hands moved, switching a few drinks as the curvy little thief darted around the table.

Distracted, Chastity only just managed to avoid the huge man, sliding across from a man so ruggedly handsome that he made her think all that is gold does not glitter, or, well, maybe something closer to omigod, he's so cute! She flashed a smile that made the eyes light, the freckles seeming to glint like the stars they resembled. "Well, tha' don't 'zactly sound too fuckin' grand, do it now?" the accent was awful, like someone imitidating a street pad who had only heard of them in really bad plays. "Sounds ta me like ya should be orderin' me a drink," she tossed a bag of coins that a certain barbarian might be missing soon, adding a wink. "Might wanna spend th' money quicklike."

Outside, a tired looking half-elf took another drag on a cigarette, sighing and blowing smoke. She'd wait until she needed to go in, and not a moment sooner. She'd seen most of that menagerie inside and wanted next to nothing to do with it.
 
The night was dark, the Inn was down the street from where Zafah was walking. This promised to be a big payday for anyone who could simply locate a large gathering of Lizardmen. How hard could that be. From an alley on her left his voice spoke in a hushed tone.

"Zafah my lovely, we need to speak you and I. Come here into the shadows. She could see him, his golden eyes that seemed to see right through her. His white hair and his rugged handsome features. She knew that was just a face he wore like mortals wore clothes.

Hw as ever impatient and he stepped forward grabbing her by the throat and pulling her into the shadows of the alley. Pressing her against the wall of a trade goods store he licked her cheek. "You are going into the High Moor. There is a task you can do for me."

He released his grip on her throat, his hand dropping to her hip. "There is a bone horn in an old ruin." He handed her a map, "find a ranger who is savvy in the wild. Convince him to take you there. The silver horn will likely be guarded but do whatever it takes to claim this prize." His smile was sly as he added "consider this task a down payment on what you most desire in this life."

His hand drifted toward her crotch, "how long has it been since you were properly fucked my sweet. Would you like me to tend to your kinky needs? Right here, right now."

Mindy moved through the crowd playing her heart out and slipping between anyone who seemed to be about to cause trouble. She was thinking she had played about halfway through the night's frolic so far and had most definitely earned her money.

Kraggar sat across from Nia his eyes lusty as he watched her. "Say are you here for the High Moor mission? I am looking to build a team, your a cleric right? A healer. I sure would like to have someone like you along." He made a show of looking her over, "I see no weapons? That would be okay if you joined me as I can fight well enough for the both of us." His toothy smile was beaming with confidence. "Say you would not happen to have a room here? I need a place to spend the night, and the place seems filled up. I would like to spend tonight under a roof as we will be under the stars for what looks like a few weeks once we leave in the morning.

Ryder looked at the purse and his eyes were following the Barbarian on his way back to the bar. He simply smiled and put his hand over one of Chastity's. "I don't know where the accent comes from but it doesn't match your expensive tailored clothes." He tilted his head with an amused expression. "Tell you what Giggles, how about you remain here and I will bring you a bowl of stew and a mug of ale. We can begin afresh when I get back. As an incentive I might add I already have a room upstairs. A comfortable bed is not to be scoffed at on the last night before going into the wilds." Ryder took the purse and went toward the bar. As he was getting close the barbarian realized his purse was gone and he spun around looking back the way he had come.

Ryder held up the purse "you seem to have dropped.." The Barbarian swung a haymaker at Ryder, yelling "thief!" Ryder dodged and laughed "

"What sort of thief would I be if I came over here to return what you dropped. Hell man I was holding it out to you when you tried to hit me. We are likely here for the same reason so no need to fight among ourselves." Ryder looked at Camby who was coming over. "Camby explain to this oaf I am a Ranger not a Thief. Oh and I need a bowl of stew and a mug of ale as well."

The Barbarian looked confused as he muttered "Showing, returning? You mean you were bringing my purse back to me?

Camby slapped the barbarian across the back of his head "Yes you Lumox, I saw him holding it out to you. He might be the only honest man in here so you were lucky. Most would have kept your purse and left you start a ruckus. he just saved you from a night or two in the guardhouse." Camby took the purse and dropped it on the counter after taking a gold coin. "This is for his stew and ale. Your way of apologizing for taking a swing at the man."

Ryder returned to the table, hoping the rather stunning Tiefling had waited for his return.
 
"Ugggh, fuck," spat Zafah, staring toward the stars with her one good eye. She closed it, as if that would be enough to banish his presence, as if she didn't almost literally feel him. Fucking demon motherfucker. If it weren't the powers he granted her, those eldritch energies flowing within, Zafah would've done more than just the dumping that didn't seem to click with the needy motherfucker. Naturally the hard-bitten half-elf was quite determined not to go toward him, but he wasn't about to wait.

Instinct drove Zafah's reaction, as her dagger went immediately toward his groan, lowered to a point that would make most men blanch. The striking half-elf already knew that her "patron" would find the reaction more arousing than anything else, though if she knew him, he'd likely come to her aroused. He may have started seeing her for the hard beauty in her sharp feature, the dark fire in a deep brown, nearly black eye, but their bodies now had that instinctive reaction. Even now, mutually threatening one another: dagger at groin, hand on throat, Zafah could feel that disgusting heat of arousal bubbling up from below.

Fuck, some task, as if he didn't know full damn well that what she most wanted right now was for him to fuck off and leave the powers he'd granted her intact. As his hand drifted, she snarled: "You get to fuck me or you get your fucking horn," she said, flashing a tight smile. "That's the way this works," because fuck her body, fuck the tightness in her chest and that heat bubbling up. Her eye flicked behind her. "Plus, I think I'll need help, and there's a whole tavern of dumb-fucks just there."

Gods, were there too many fools here. Even Mindy's jovial warning wasn't keeping all of them free of Tawny. They also didn't seem to realize that she wasn't drinking (not in a strange place without someone to watch her back) and thoroughly wasn't interested. She'd just keep ignoring them, certain they'd go on to more interested parties.

"Oh yes, I'm quite interested in that!" agreed Nia, nodding her head. "I, ah, yes, I am a follower of Hanali Celanil, and I do walk the path of peace," she said, nodding again. Soon she found herself flushing, chewing a lip and looking away. There was something quite brutish and wholly masculine about the half-orc, and of course Nia had been raised on stories of them. She wasn't naive enough not to pick up on what that look he ran over her body entailed, and she could feel a slight shiver at the implications. "I, ah---" she started, only to flush more prettily pink at his next comment. "Um, I, ah, I don't? Not now, I'm afraid. I was, ah, actually thinking I'd probably, well, you know, stay at the locale temple?" she bit her lip again, squirming a little. "not that, ah, I wouldn't sleep in a tavern or, well, um, anything like that?" She flushed, before looking around. "People are gathering here to form parties, right? Maybe, ah, we should look for more people?"

Though she wasn't entirely sure why she was suggesting that. Maybe because there as some slight concern that if she were to venture into the wild with a being of orcish blood she might not come back. Nia didn't want to think about why her heart raised at the thought. But yes, someone at least passingly trustworthy would be good, or at least someone with talents they lacked.

Chastity nearly giggled as the man seemed to be calling her out on it. The tiefling tilted her head, smiling in a decidedly impish fashion. "Ya been lookin' at me goods?" she teased. "Nicked 'em off some tailor, I did," like anyone with experience wouldn't recognize that yes, the leather armor had clearly been expertly done, likely to measurements that were just slightly generous.

More teasing likely would've come, but instead Chastity got to watch as Ryder walked off toward the bar.

The ranger had Tawny tensing for a moment, particularly since he seemed to nearly be picking a fight with a large barbarian. She tensed, eyes focused, readying to spring as the confrontation grew more physical. It sounded like the ranger was in the right, and it wouldn't take but a few blows to slant the fight in his favor. Luckily things seemed to be going alright.

Though Tawny snagged the man before he left, meeting his gaze. "You're clearly an honorable sort, of a kind," she said, eyes flicking back, "you may want to watch out for your company. She looks like trouble, and I'm not simply referring to her devilish looks." For that tiefling looked every bit the thief, and Tawny thought she even saw those delicate, fingerless-gloved blue hands snagging something from a passerby. Though the tiefling did look to be one of the youngest present, and if her talents could be shifted to good...
 
"Zafah? I am a Duke of the fifth level in hell and you threaten me with a dagger. Really my Pet you humor me. So you do not feel the need within your loins to be taken as only I can do?" Zafah stepped back and shrugged "well if you wish to be rude and put it that way, I want the horn. I can get laid anytime and anywhere. I have a dozen pleasure Devils awaiting my pleasure in my fortress. I just prefer you my dark dove of desire." He took another step away from her, his charisma oozing from him to make her burn with need to be fucked. "When you are feeling less hesitant." He vanished in a puff of sulfuric grey smoke with a last reminder "find a Ranger. You will need someone who can track."

Kraggar nodded, just his luck this beauty would be spending the night in one of the many places he knew he would not be welcome. It was also one of the few places he would not ignore his being unwelcome. He served no god in particular but he knew better than to anger any of them. "I agree Nia, just the two of us would have small chance of success." The brief encounter between the huge Barbarian and the impressive Woodsmen cut off the conversation for a few moments. Kraggar smiled and that smile grew when the Catwoman approached the Ranger. To Nia he suggested "now those two might make out chances pretty good."

Ryder smiled at Tawny, "my thanks for the compliment and the warning. To be sure the Tiefling is most definitely a light fingered sort but I am traveling in the morning where someone light of foot and able to be sneaky will come in handy. I have noticed you move since you arrived and you have a natural grace. I also believe seeing you close up that you are capable of taking care of yourself. If you have not joined a company by morning I would be honored to travel with you. My name is Ryder MacCloud, I will be eating breakfast late tomorrow, I plan to wait till the other groups depart. I prefer having the mob in front of me rather than behind." He shifted the bowl of stew in his hand "sorry, but if you.. This is hot. If you want to continue our conversation I am going to the table. No need to warn you about the Tiefling's quick hands."

Ryder moved with a catlike grace of his own as he weaved deftly through the crowd back to his table. Ryder set the bowl down and the mug "there you are Giggles." He sat down across from her, out of easy reach. "I am going to the High Moors, I think someone with your easy smile would be a good traveling companion. You have skills as well it seems, there are many ruins where we are going and someone good with disarming traps would be handy to have around."

Now when Ryder stepped away Kraggar stepped in "Excuse me Miss. The blonde Elf and I are trying to form a company for the High Moors. You caught out eye and I would like to ask you to join us. She is a healer, and I am a rather exceptional fighter myself. You would be grand addition to our group."

Mindy stepped in close to Tawny "Tell you what big fella, if she decides to travel with you and the elf I would be interested as well. Something tells me anywhere she goes is going to be worth several stories and maybe a heroic song or two."
 
"Fuck off," was all Zafah said, following with a rude gesture toward the dissipating puff of smoke. She looked down, taking note that her previous cigarette had been knocked aside, burned out. The warlock sighed, digging into her pouch to check how many she had. A soft grunt acknowledged the supply remained more or less intact, while she kicked one out, considering. A ranger... there would likely be a handful of those. But how exactly did he think that she was going to insinuate herself into that kind of company?

There was also the fact that part of Zafah wanted to tell the devil to fuck off. She didn't work for him, didn't want to be near him... well, her body might want that latter bit, but the rest of her didn't. She lit up the smoke, watching the trails of it rise off, considering. The easiest route might be seduction. Sometimes they went for it. While Zafah may be hard angles, her body scarred in more ways than the one that shock of blood red covered along her eye, she still had that beauty to her, and she knew it. The elfish blood made her appealing to most, and while she may be crass, that appeal that... charisma, lingered. She still held some slight feminine curve to her mostly sharp body. Ugh, Zafah hated to think she might need to bother. She stuck her head in, looking around, wondering if there was already a party.

Her eyes clapped on an impressive looking ranger, one who, if she needed to, she wouldn't mind laying with. She winced slightly, already expecting it wouldn't be nearly as good as what she'd turned down. she could still feel that lingering touch, the fire that reminded her of pleasures best left in the past. She took another drag, letting the smoke puff out, before snuffing it and tucking in, not certain the crowd would appreciate it. She'd pay attention that ranger: he was already talking to some strange feline looking female, and she looked every bit the upright, uptight monk with a pole up her ass... even if Zafah could tell from here that said ass was toned enough to draw looks.

Another set of eyes, these violet and almond shape, looked that way as well. "Oh, she does look like she can handle herself," she tilted her head, "I think, um, that she's one of the half-Tabaxi? They're very agile and, ah, feline, obviously, oh, are we---" she noticed Kraggar rising and tried to get up to follow. The half-orc had proven gentle in her soft rebuff of his advances, clearly could handle himself, and his mere presence had kept unwilling, uncouth sorts away. Nia knew she wanted to stay close, and she had a good, gut feeling about that monk.

Tawny wasn't certain if all the eyes were still staring with admiration or wonder. They'd no doubt take note that while female, she looked to be one of the strongest here, likely a near match for the barbarian or that half-orc. Or maybe they were just staring at the exotic feline, hoping and/or praying that the rumored heat would turn the tomboy beauty into a mewling, needful creature. She focused in on the conversation, nodding his statement, taking it less for compliment than statement of fact. "Let the others clear the path and spring the traps," she said with a half smile, nearly purring at the thought. He gestured and mentioned continued, and her gaze flicked. "I would, but if we take her," she outright pointed to Chastity, "I pat her down. I mean no offense, but I don't know if your hands would be content just searching for lost loot," because gods knew the tiefling put enough flesh on display. At least Tawny had the decency to tamper down and cover her private bits, mostly needing the flesh for her feline drives and want of sun on flesh.

She followed, watching as the cute little tiefling looked up at her. She half expected jealousy: that usually came from near females, but the rogue ran those deep blue eyes up and down her body, let them widen, and looked excitedly to the ranger.

"A threesome!?" she almost squealed, tail practically wagging like a dog. If she noticed the hot, jacked monk blanching, she ignored it. "With a half-tabaxi? Yes please! We can just do it on the table or---ooh, ohhhh," Chastity pursed her lips, working them, trying to figure that out. A sexy liasion with two rough, built adventurers had sounded pretty dang good to her (and an excellent first time, even if the half-tabaxi looked about ready to run those claws along her in a not-sexy way). But a journey like that...

cue further hotness.

Nia didn't say anything, though she nearly sighed with relief as Kragga included her. She nodded eagerly, gaze flicking, almost flinching as the tiefling (who looked decidedly like a rogue or thief) had this almost eager, hungry look. The monk looked nonplussed, but the ranger looked good. Should she be seeing the other two attractive females as competition? No, surely not. Maybe they could help with braiding her hair, and she'd just love to try and find some clothing for that half-tabaxi. Her figure was so unique...

"She has a name," the half-tabaxi said, slightly exaperated as the singer showed up. "Tawny Amblecrown," she said, nodding to the bard, "she's some trust, and you can always believe a cleric," she spent only a second flicking her gaze to the elf's symbol, "but I wonder about her companion, and this rogue..." she frowned, looking to Chastity. "She looks young."

"Tha's 'cuz she is," said Chastity, sliding back into the accent, grinning. "But she's got hands," she wiggled fingers, "wit' all them nimbly digits. An' I'll watch ya back fir a cut an' a song from th' pretty singer," she wiggled fingers to Mindy, fighting another giggle that she was sure would ruin her whole tough presentation.

"Gods, they are all gonna fucking die," muttered Zafah, still at a distance, watching the motley crew and feeling like that whole "fuck off" plan wasn't her best option.
 
Ryder was following the conversation and adding up what the group was shaping up to look like. Tawny would be a fighter and have skills, Kraggar was a fighter and a natural leader, The elf Nia was a healer, The bard was good for morale and they had skills as well. Giggles was a talented thief and.. And He blushed furiously as Giggles suggested a three-way with Tawny, herself, and Ryder! The mere thought broke his concentration thoroughly. "How did you come up with that?" His voice sputtered as he spoke, his astonishment very obvious. He looked at Tawny with an apologetic expression. He looked at Giggles with a harder expression, "I think that comment was uncalled for. We are discussing forming a company to travel into a dangerous place not prepping for some orgy."

He looked to Tawny and Kraggar "if we are agreed we have six here. The company appears well balanced with all the skills we might need. It would be nice to have a wizard among us but I think we can make do." Ryder took a deep breath. "Anyone who needs a mount there is a stable at the East end "Marley's it is named. I did him a solid a few days ago and my warhorse is stabled there. Anyone needs a mount, mention y name and he will give you a discount. Anyone who can not ride he also has a few carts for sale. A cart would slow us down but it might also come in handy."

Ryder included Kraggar and Tawny in hi gaze "I propose one of you two be the group leader. I tend to come and go far too often to be the leader. I think either of you would be good choices.

Kraggar for his part had secured a chair for Nia, being a bit of a gentlemen. When the person who had been using the chair returned he saw Kraggar's glare and thought better of trying to take back the chair. Kraggar was standing behind the chair sort of next to Tawny.

Mindy was still playing as she listened to the talk around the table. She noticed the Ranger's blush at the mention of a threesome and was all she could do not to laugh out loud. "My vote for the leader is Tawny here. She seems observant and clear eyed."

"Kraggar nodded "that suits me, I wouldn't mind being the leader but afraid my orc blood might make peaceful talks rather uncertain. He looked at the tiefling "I have not caught your name yet but if you are with us I want a promise you won't be using those light fingers on any of the members of this company. We need to trust each other and if you want to be sure we have your back we need to be sure your hands are not in our pockets."

Mindy spoke up to ease any tension from building after the half-orc's comment. "I have a room if anyone needs a place to sleep tonight."
 
Ryder's reaction just had Chastity giggling again. She stuck her tongue out at him or a few moments, and likely would've started teasing and/or flirting some more, but the conversation had continued onto boring details. Instead the rogue just rolled her eyes, letting her attention drift around the bar. Yeah, there were a few other interesting people, but between a party with a few already attractive people and a bard who could literally put her in a song or story, this seemed like Chastity's best bet. Yeah, sure, she'd mostly just come here because she was looking for adventurers, but it wouldn't be fun if she wasn't, you know, out there doing the whole adventuring thing. Plus she would probably come in handy and surely someone among the group of them would be interested. Shame there weren't more males... wait, were they talking about a leader?

Tawny folded her arms, looking toward the half-orc. He was sitting the elf down, who looked almost too pleased at the attention. The cleric sat with a primness that reminded Tawny of every story she'd ever heard about elves, but there was a warmth to the smile she flashed that just confirmed that of all the people here, she'd likely be the surest bet to watch their backs. The elf nodded her agreement, the tiefling didn't seem to be paying attention and of course Mindy voted for the monk. Tawny looked to her, tempted to make a comment along the same lines the ranger had used with the rogue.

Ugh, they needed names. "If you know tactics, fighter," Tawny said, looking to the half-orc, "then your insight will be useful. I meant no offense by my earlier comment, but I've had too many close calls with others of your race," she looked back to the tiefling, "and we haven't caught any names besides mine..."

If Chastity noticed the stares, she shrugged them off, instead focusing on Mindy's last comment. "Oh, I 'ave a room too!" she said, producing a key from who knows where. "Leastways I got m'self a key, which y'know, leads to one," she shrugged and nearly giggled. "An' I guess ya can call me..." she hesitated for a moment, but figured her virtue name worked as well as anything: "Chastity," she bobbed.

"I'm Niallell Dawnchilde, follower of Hanali Celanil along the path of peace and healing. This," she gestured toward the half-orc, "is Kraggar, who defended me moments ago, though we have barely met," she smiled, folding her hands, "and I had been playing at staying at the temple, but, ah, maybe we should stick together?" she bit her lip, eyes flicking to Tawny, clearly not wanting to step on toes.

The half-tabaxi sighed. "It's a good idea," she said, doing quick math, "but we'll probably want three rooms, not two," she pursed her lips, "I had just thought about using the common room myself, or sleeping outside..." she trailed off, considering. Likely all the legitimate rooms had been purchased for the night. They probably could count on Chastity to scrounge up another, should it come to it...

"Hey," a voice cut in, as a half-elf with one side of her head shaved appeared, producing a key, "heard you all need another room, right? You heading for the Northern Moor? I'm looking for something up that way, stupid thing," she shrugged. "And I can do some magic," she waved a hand, letting a little flash of smoke appear from between her fingers, "let me tag along, and one of you fuckers can bunk with me."

Preferably the ranger, so I can try to sweet talk him, Zhafa thought. That half-tabaxi (Tawny?) would see through her, and she didn't want to know what that tiefling would do. Elf would be pointless, half-elf looked almost as horny as the tiefling, and the half-orc looked attached to the elf (because that would end well). She'd already pushed her luck by using that quick spell on the stupid trinket to talk the barbarian idiot out of his room; didn't want to go too much further. But this way she'd work her way in, and actually have a halfway decent place to crash. Better than her previous plan of "wrap myself in this shitty cloak and find the dryest, least shitty alley."
 
Ryder felt something not quite right about the newcomer but she had magic and that was the one ability the group yet lacked. He nodded anyway "Welcome to out band, we do need a wizard. He looked to the rest "So we have four rooms if we count Giggles ill gotten key. I have one, The bard has one, and yours. By the way what should we call you, a name you use and feel free to give out."

Mindy smiled and played a fast little diddy "I already invited Tawny to my room?"

Kraggar looked to The newcomer, he could catch a slight scent from here that made him think of sex. "Since Nia here is spending the night at the temple how about I share your room." He offered what he considered his most friendly smile. There was something a bit dark about Zafah but it didn't phase Kraggar in the least, if anything it made her more attractive. "You know I might not be the prettiest guy here but I am willing to bet I will outlast any of these handsome bums." He winked at Zafah as he oozed male confidence.

Ryder looked to Chastity, "well Giggles, you want to return the key you found and spend the night with me? Or since you have a room you could sleep alone." Ryder was interested in the Tiefling but he didn't want to make it sound like he expected her to be interested in him. Besides with four rooms now between them and Nia going to the temple not everyone had to pair off. Kraggar asked the Wizard, Mindy had asked Tawny so that left Chastity and him. To be honest he sort of expected to be spending the night alone, thing had a way of working out like that for him.

Near the bar an argument broke out and Mindy dashed away playing her fiddle louder as she sped to calm the problem. "Tawny room 6!"

Kraggar assuming the roll of leader since Tawny hesitated decided there should be some discussion on travel. He had a warhorse, and the ranger had said he did as well. The ranger had suggested a cart and that made sense to Kraggar as well. "I think we should settle the issue of mounts tonight. who here needs a mount, and who here can not ride and requires a cart be bought?" He looked from one to the other "I think if we purchase a cart and horse to pull it we should make that a group expenditure. We can use it to haul whatever loot we gain so it seems fair to me." Kraggar had that alpha syndrome so taking a leadership role just suited him well.
 
The room situation sounded sorted, though Tawny wasn't sure she liked the half-elf's insistence. She was another female, but she had a flirtatious look that Tawny had grown to know all too well. She nearly sighed, particularly as the half-orc started flirting with the newcomer, who they'd all apparently decided to let into the group. Something about her didn't sit quite right with the monk, and a quickly exchanged glance with Ryder led her to believe it likely wasn't just her who had some suspicions. First things first: get this room mess sorted.

"Right, let's not split up," the monk said, stepping in, almost literally getting between the ranger and the thief. She flicked a hand toward Nia, "Niallell suggested staying close, and I like the idea. She can room with Chastity," she looked to the tiefling, who nodded, but as soon as Tawny looked away giggled and tilted her head toward Nia, mouthing to the ranger. "I suppose I can bunk with Mindy," she almost winced, knowing she was going to wind up on the floor. Then again, that might not be much better than the common room. "And you other three can figure things out. Now, mounts," and she clearly didn't mind stepping on Kraggar's toes there, though the half-orc had already suggested. "I can ride," she looked expectantly at the rest.

"Wha'?" asked Chastity, blinking. There was a weird look now and something about switching room. Honestly bunking with the elf didn't seem all that bad. Two pretty girls would probably be more incentive for the ranger, and it wasn't like Tawny could babysit all night. Or maybe Chastity could try the orc? Oh, wait, horses, right? "Wha' kinda rogue don't know how ta' ride 'a 'orse,' she asked, shrugging. Not like she was gonna tell the mit was mostly due to private riding lessons she'd gotten, and a few experimental steals to see what it was like. "Don't got one righ' now though. 'itched' a ride in 'ere."

Nia didn't know what to say. She could technically ride, but not very well, and she didn't find it all that comfortable. She wasn't sure she should speak up though: she didn't want to put anyone to trouble, and she could already sense some growing frustration (possibly amplified with sexual feelings? They'd just met, but it seemed like at least half the group wanted to fuck the other half, and that there were several lines crossed there. Nia might not be an expert, but she could read people's emotions fairly well, at least...)

Fortunately, someone else wasn't as quiet: "Yeah, I ain't riding a fucking horse," said Zafah, snorting. "Unless the Immaculate One here," she jerked her head toward Tawny, "wants to rub my blistered thighs," she rolled her eyes. "Seriously, you and the tiefling should switch names," having said her piece to the group, she inched forward to whisper to Ryder. "Look, I can give my key to the orc, and we can shack up. I got stuff to talk about, and if you're that fucking backed up, I'm probably better than Giggles, definitely better than our moral leader. Just an offer," she shrugged, "you could always shack up with Kraggar or just leave him to fend for himself."

Sensing the group hostility, and Tawny's narrowed eyes, Nia knew she had to speak up: "Um, I think that means a cart, right? I can pay for it myself, to make it easier for everyone," she let out a shy smile. "I usually get discounts for being a member of the faith, so it shouldn't be too much trouble, and, ah," she flushed, "we, um, really shouldn't try to argue that much about rooms? We've, we've all got to work together after all..." she almost wanted to sink into her chair, as she knew at least several eyes were on her. Maybe Nia should also offer to potentially help people if they were feeling tense? But she really wasn't that kind of priestess, even if she had sort of done stuff like that before...
 
Ryder sighed as the travel arrangements were sorted out, Nia and Zafah would share the cart, the rest would ride. He liked the way that had worked out. The sleeping arrangements bothered him as of the very attractive women in the group he least wanted to be paired up with Zafah. She made him feel uneasy. He had thought to keep Chastity close if for no other reason to keep her put of trouble. Ryder felt the pressure and it seemed Chastity was fine with no bunking with him. Tawny seemed to be willing to spend the night with Mindy even if she appeared not all that happy about it. Ryder was about to say he would just bunk alone. When Kraggar spoke up.

"Well if Nia is staying here I'll accept your key Zafah. What say you Nia?" Kraggar was clearly not upset about being turned down by Zafah, he just wanted someone to share the bed with. He was interested in Nia, that was clear enough for all to see.

Ryder sighed his idea to just bunk alone shattered. Than he had an idea. "Look Zafah you don't need to spend the night with me to tell me whatever it is you feel the need to tell me. We can go outside and talk if you think we have to discuss it tonight." He looked to Nia and Kraggar, "look how about I give you to my key, I can share a room with Chastity here. That way everyone has a place to sleep here tonight." He looked at Chastity, "does having me for the night suit you?"

It was close to eleven PM and Camby made the last call for the night. He was closing up the bar once everyone had their last mug.

The last call for drinks meant Mindy was done and she sort of danced over to the group. "What did I miss? Nothing too important I hope." She looked at Tawny "so did we end up bunk mates?"

Ryder looked at Zafah, "do we need to talk now or can it wait till tomorrow?"
 
The cleric almost started as attention was drawn to her, and not to, say, compliment her on her attempt at settling everything. Her violet eyes widened for a moment, and she looked over at Tawny. Were the half-tabaxi and the half-orc going to argue about who was leading the whole time? Or was this just because Kraggar really wanted to have someone to share his bed tonight, and the half-elf (who was a little intense) was cuddling up with Ryder? Nia just didn't know what to do: she definitely didn't want to upset the group, and she was already starting to look up to Tawny.

"Gods, fine!" said the monk, flinging her hands up. "You're all adults. Just don't get so distracted cuddling up under the sheets that you forget our plan," she gave everyone a look ,before grabbing Nia, pulling the cleric to the side. "Look, I'm sure Mindy and I can make room for you if you want. It's fine if you want to bunk down with Kraggar, but you don't need to feel like you owe him anything," she said, keeping her voice low, hopefully low enough that the half-orc didn't hear. "He seems fine, I suppose,' she looked over, eyes narrowing, a little of that predatory feline sliding into them for a few moments, "but just---be careful."

Nia bit her lip, again wondering, eyes flicking to Kraggar. He was just so... big and masculine, and everything that she couldn't help but find herself attracted to, really. She didn't want to upset anyone.... "Um, I know you're, ah, worried, but I can always heal everyone in the morning," she offered. "And, um, I know I look a little fragile? But I can handle myself," she paused a moment, before flushing, "and, ah, him." The elf looked almost cherry red, as she scooted over to the half-orc, giving him a smile as she reached up to play with her hair nervously, her lips twisting between teeth.

Tawny sighed, rubbing at her face. they were all fucking adults. Well, she wasn't certain with Chastity (gods, what kind of name...). She knew her tail had bristled out, but she still thought this a good group. They were obviously horny, yes, but they looked strong, and she trusted more than half of them. She gave the half-orc one more warning look before striding up to the half-elf. "Yes, we're bunking together," she said, her tail flicking in irritation, ears twitching, nearly growling. She needed to meditate or something: this party was driving her crazy already.

Godsdammit. Well, this probably was for the best, right? Yeah, sure, the ranger was hot, but Zafah wasn't all that desperate. She did feel a slight stab of irritation, looking over at the scantily clad tiefling. Seriously?

Said tiefling giggled, already bouncing up. "Suits me just fine!' she chirped, falling back into what was obviously her natural accent, a slightly clipped, bordering on uppercrust. "Room, ah..." she twisted. "Hey," she waved at one of the daughters, pointing, "which bleedin' room does this key go to?" The server looked more tired than anything, tossing out "three" before stomping off. Giggling, Chastity saluted Ryder before practically prancing off, her tail swishing, drawing even more attention to that softly rounded ass in the too tight to be allowed leather.

"Oh yeah, that's not gonna be fucking trouble," groused Zafah. She rolled her eyes, waving for Ryder to follow her outside. She slid her smokes out, hesitating just a moment before offering them to Ryder. Take or leave, she'd be drawing one, using a cantrip to light it (and then possibly his). "'s'simple, really," she said, taking a drag. "There's this old ruin, out the fuck where we're going," she gestured with the hand holding the lit cigarette. "I'm looking for a horn and need a ranger to help. So if you can pull your head out of the blueberry pie long enough to help, I can, I dunno, pay you or some shit," she shrugged.

Obviously Zafah put all that charisma to good use.
 
Kraggar accepted Ryder's key and with a definite bounce in his step lead Nia to room nine. Once inside he smiled as he removed his boots. "Glad you decided to bed down with me Nia. Seemed such a waste to have this fine bed and no one to share it with. We can go slow if you prefer? I know I look like a brute but I can be gentle when the times call for it. You need not fear me." He patted the bed beside him. "Come Nia might as well get comfortable, the night will be short enough as it is."

Mindy all but danced to her room, spinning as she went "wow this was the best payday I ever had and I don't even have to dodge some half drunk merchant. So Tawny do you like sleeping with girls? I kinda like it both ways myself. If you feel like playing that is?" Mindy glanced over those muscles and smirked "I mean your the physical one here, so obviously whatever you want is what we are gonna do right?" She unlocked her door, waved Tawny inside with a flashy hand wave and a smooth curtsy. Once Tawny was inside Mindy put a chair to block the door and began to strip. "So you want to be the Mistress and order me about? I have quite a talented tongue." Mindy's clothes seemed tossed as she shed them but they all landed in a somewhat neat pile near the bed.

Ryder watched Chastity wiggle her ass up the stairs before following Zafah outside. He refused the smoke as he didn't smoke. "So what is it?" When she took her time lighting her smoke he was beginning to feel played. Than she told him about some ruins and a horn she needed. He raised an eyebrow when she mentioned paying him? "Sounds doable. I mean we already planned to check out any ruins we came across. So I don't see a problem with going to these. Do you have a map or something? Depending on how deep they are in the High Moors would determine how quickly we get to them."

Ryder shifted away from the smoke "you won't need to pay me either. Since you need this horn we will simply make shares of whatever else we find. I mean if they have something important, just tends to reason there will be more there than just that horn. You are one of the company Zafah, we will all share whatever we find as equally as possible." Ryder still felt uneasy around her but not as much knowing she needed a Ranger to find the ruins she sought. If she just needed his tracking skills he could handle that. he had an annoying lack of curiosity and the horn meant nothing to him. He would find the trinket and maybe Zafah would not seem so odd. "If that is all I will be going inside."
 
Nia could practically hear the blood pumping in her ears, and feel a tightness in her lower parts that she knew all too well. Kraggar just took charge and clearly had some set expectations. Nia chewed her lip, nervously standing there for a moment, even as he patted the bed. "Um, well, ah, I mean, if that's what you want, that's fine," she reached up, drawing her hair along to her front. She began stroking it, fingers running along the intricately woven elfish braids. "I, um, already know you're not a brute, or, ah, I wouldn't have," she stopped, flushing pink to the tips of her elongated ears.

Another shift, with Nia moving to set her bag down. "I actually have some, um, sleep wear,' she was practically trembling, and she didn't know whether or was from nerves or excitement. her fumbling fingers as she dug meant that a rather silky, decidedly skimpy pair of panties, obviously designed by the most talented of elfish craftspersons, tumbled out. Nia snatched them, again flushing. "I, ah, like, um, pretty things," she muttered, looking down at her bag. She really didn't have that much in here; it shouldn't be this hard to find her delicate little sleeping nightie.

Oh gods, she was making this hard. Tawny ran her hand over her face. "Would you just---hold still?" she said. "Honestly, everyone's acting like they haven't had sex in months or something," she sighed. "I'm not---I guess when I'm choosing I generally prefer females, but I've done both. Given my history, I kind of have to," she met Mindy's gaze with a flat expression. "And while I'm sure your tongue is, talented, I try not to make it a habit of sleeping with people I just met, even if they are quite friendly."

Rubbing the back of her neck, Tawny looked around. "I was figuring I'd just take the floor. If that's not an option, then I'll find other accommodations. Truthfully I just agreed because everyone was arguing about it, and I figured you'd be the least..." she rolled her hand a moment," difficult if I proved every rumor about half-tabaxi wrong." Hopefully Mindy wasn't about to make this difficult.

Well, this was proving easier than Zafah figured. "Wow, you're super trusting. That's gonna make it super easy when I fry you with magic and leave you to die in the moors," she shrugged, "that's assuming the tiefling with the perky breasts doesn't just rob you blind and skip off to her next little frolic," Zafah took another long hit, closing her eyes before blowing it out again. "I'll be good. More or less."

She waited a beat for Ryder to start heading in. "I'm sure you're already watching out for the blueberry ,but be careful of the prissy kitty too," she looked over her shoulder. "If she starts to smell, it means she's going into the Heat, and I for one don't wanna be around when every monster in the goddamn moor starts to smell her." She took another drag, just leaning against the tavern, figuring she might as well enjoy herself. After all, she was the one who ended up with the room to herself.
 
Kraggar saw the lacey undies and smiled "you really have some dainty stuff there. Might was well leave those in your bag Nia, I would not want to damage something so delicate." He began removing his clothes, his shirt first. His chest was covered by scars, some deep and red others just thin lines. His time as a gladiator was written across that broad chest. He removed his pants and underwear next. His clothes were typical men's wear, tough fabrics worn just enough to be comfortable. His cock sprang free and it was huge. One of the good thing he inherited from his orc father as he saw it. He stood naked ant stepped over to Nia. He ran his fingers through her hair and tilted her face up to look into his. He kissed her lips sweetly, "Just take off your clothes Nia. No need for your fancy sleep wear tonight."

His large hands began gently unfastening her clothes. He sensed she was a submissive already and decided to get things moving along. They had a hard days travel tomorrow and he did need some sleep. He was glad the Ranger suggested leaving later. That was a stroke of genius so it was. Let the other companies clear the way so they could get to the ruins and looting without undue delays. Kraggar kissed Nia's neck. "In my opinion you were the most beautiful lady down there tonight. I am honored you decided to join me."

Mindy pouted, and went to her own bag. "Fine, just fine. I have night clothes and you need not fear sharing the bed. I won't 'attack' you in your sleep." Mindy put on plain cotton panties and an oversized men's shirt before crawling into bed. "Really, you don't need to sleep on the floor I will not bother you." Mindy turned her back to Tawny and pulled the blanket up over half her head.

Ryder raised an eyebrow as she threatened to leave him burnt and dying in the Moors after she had what she needed. When she added comments about Chastity robbing him blind he was fairly certain she was teasing him. He supposed that rough talk was her humorous side. The comment about the Tabaxi was as off color as the other comments. "I think Tawny will be a bonus and a good addition to our group. We all have some drawbacks but as a group we can negate most of those." Ryder bowed slightly but his eyes never left Zafah. I will be retiring for the night now." He felt her disdain for him but said nothing. If she thought him a fool so much the better. He did not feel he was one and knew his observation skills were superior to most. If she was going to betray the group or him he was confident he would see it coming before she wanted her plans noticed.

Ryder went upstairs to room three and knocked on the door. "Chastity, it is Ryder." He hoped she was inside the room and not out plying her trade. Of all those who he was traveling with he trusted Zafah the least but he saw Chastity as the one who would bring them the most trouble. he just hoped her thieving skills would make her presence worthwhile.
 
The elf almost shivered when Kraggar said the bit about not wanting to damage something so delicate. Two thoughts traveled through her head almost immediately: is he talking about me? with I don't know if I'd mind having him destroy me, coming right along. The thoughts brought the pink flush back to the pretty elf even before the clothing started removing. Those violet eyes stared at the broad flesh, running all along it. Gods, he looked so utterly masculine, all hard flesh and sculpted muscle. The blood flowed, and Nia could feel it hardening her clit, making it throb. She shifted, again trying to find a comfortable position.

Gods, he stepped up to her and just caressed her. Nia's head tilted, eyes fluttering closed immediately. Her lips moved along his, her hunger evident. Delicate limbs laced their way behind his neck, gently caressing him, encouraging her even her lips went in for a second taste. His comment made her heart flutter, but not simply from the rising desire. She felt him working: her clerical robes and garments were light, flowing, and quite purposefully loose, particularly around the waist. She felt another jolt of blood pounding there as those rough hands began moving along her.

Her head lolled as lips drew about her neck, baring flesh to him, giving immediately. She outright whimpered at his comment. "Oh gods, you don't know how happy I am to hear you say that," she said, before reaching to take his hand, interrupting it. "But, ah, you're being quite sweet, so, um, you should---you should know...' she drew the hand down to her waist, and, trembling, "I, um, well," she drew the hand between her legs. With her guidance and pressure, he'd feel her through the robes, feel between her legs... feel the slight bulge of hardness that was an evident sign of her arousal.

Nia curled her fingers about his hand, pulling back to look up at him. "You--you can stop if you want. I, I can even just, use my mouth, if you'd--you'd rather. It's, ah, okay," she turned pink, heart fluttering, always hating this part of whenever she too her clothes off.

Well, this wasn't going to make stripping awkward. Tawny sighed, rubbing at her face. "I didn't---I'm...." she saw Mindy curling in, almost pouting. "Thank you," she finished lamely. She silently undid the various interwoven wraps holding her loose clothes up, letting first the top, then the baggy bottoms drop. That bared a large expanse of tanned, muscled flesh, barely dotted with a few scars. Unbroken sunkissed flesh stretched taught. Breasts were wrapped snugly, but comfortable, and a pair of what would eventually be called "boy shorts" covered her bottom.

Without any further word, Tawny climbed into bed.... and proceeded to curl up into something like a ball, nearly nestled at Mindy's feet.

"Oh, I think she'll be fine for, like, most of the time," said Zafah. "Obviously she's a fuckin' badass. I'm just saying that the Heat isn't bullshit, and we need to be prepared," she shrugged. It wasn't like she was going to see these people again. She watched the ranger closely, still irritated, and fuck, sure, a little jealous. It was less about her wanting to fuck him (she only kinda did) and more that he'd clearly passed up her for Chastity. Well, he'd figure that out one way or another.

The aforementioned midnight blue tiefling had been quite excited about the possibilities here. She figured that at least she'd get some quality kissing and cuddling in with a dashing ranger, maybe even finally get to experience if it was as good as her fingers, toys, and books all said. But she'd also had some to drink and had something of a long journey. Left alone while the two talked, without anything to entertain herself with....

well, assuming Ryder walked through the door, he'd find a snoring tiefling, one arm thrust over her head, drool already starting to form between wide open lips.
 
Kraggar was taken aback by what he felt. "How?" He did not know what to say as this was unfamiliar territory for him. "You are such a delicate flower, beautiful and all so feminine. "Is this some sort of curse?" Kraggar reached up under her clothes and squeezed her plump full breast. "Well those are real." Kraggar continued undressing her "I am curious Nia? Can you enjoy sex as a woman? I mean is your mouth the only hole you want filled." He shrugged "I won't play with your cock but I still want to have you. I also want you to know your secret is safe with me. No one else need know about this. Some might be prudish about such a thing." With only her panties on Kraggar knelt before her and began suckling her nipples as his large hands massaged her breasts. "We can cuddle and play Nia, when your ready you can suck me dry if you wish." Kraggar was not going to say no to those lovely lips sucking his cock no matter what this elf's sex was. She had sexy tits and a nice ass. It was enough for him. he picked Nia up and carried her in a cradle against his chest to the bed. he sat down than laid down with Nia on his chest.

"His kisses were no less passionate, in fact they became ever more passionate. His hands were everywhere, massaging her breasts, squeezing her nipples or spreading her ass cheeks. IN between kisses he whispered "you know I would be fine using that fine looking ass if your into that?" He didn't wait for an answer as his next kiss included his tongue dancing with her's.

Mindy was upset but she was not going to let it ruin a good night's sleep. Well she was going to try anyway. She felt like tossing and turning but that might make Tawny think she was going against her word and Mindy was not like that. She seldom gave promises but she kept those she did make. So he lay restless trying to forget the hard body curled at the foot of the bed.

Ryder opened the door and saw the Tiefling asleep already. He shrugged and took the chair in the room. He stripped down to his skin and laid everything on top of his pack neatly. His weapons he set close to hand just in case there was trouble. Living alone as he did being cautious was the only way to stay alive. He crawled into bed and spooned tightly against Chastity. He kissed her neck and shoulder as his hand slipped over her hips. Hi fingers slipped down between her legs, spreading her lower lips. As he stroked two fingers along her pussy his thumb began making circles around and across her clitoris. His other hand pressed under her to seize a breast and tease a nipple making the nipple firm up.

Ryder felt her responding and was sure she was awake. He felt anytime soon she was going to turn around and take a more active role. Which was when the pounding on the door began and he recognized Camby's voice "hey you in there get out here!"

Ryder popped out of the bed and began dressing quickly, "hold on just a second here. It was a matter of seconds before he was dressed. He went to the door and saw Camby and three not so happy men.

Camby spoke "I rented this room to these men? Your in #9? He saw Chastity and frowned. "Look you two need to leave this room. I took these men's money and it isn't right for you to be here."

Ryder went back into the room and gathered his weapons and pack. "Sorry for the misunderstanding." Hw waited for Chastity to exit before moving down the hall toward the stairs. He caught a glance of Zafah near a door. he could have sworn she was laughing at him. "Well Chastity looks like we will be sleeping in a loft somewhere."
 
"Um, no?" Nia looked about to cry. "I, ah, um, I was... I was born with it?" she offered, trembling not just from the admission, but from the fact that the half-orc hadn't stopped caressing her. Technically her breasts weren't huge; by most human standards she'd be quite small. But given how very petite the elf was, they looked a good deal bigger, and still came close to filling even Kraggar's hands. Nia felt another surge of blood to her clit at this, the thing pulsing under the delicate panty. She bit her lip to suppress moans, those warm violet eyes looking to him.

Enjoy sex as a woman? She nodded, hand fluttering up to her hair again. Keep her secret safe; she almost collapsed at that one. Gods, he was even willing to just cuddle and play around a bit. Nia's nipples were little points of pure arousal right now, and she could feel that pulsing ache between her legs growing worse. A sort of euphoria sang in her veins. The hands moved to caress his own body, running along the hard flesh, thoroughly appreciative of both it and how he was treating her. She muttered a small blessing, perhaps granting Kraggar a bit more vigor than he truly needed, given the situation. But there was a shimmering light in those violet eyes, particularly as he scooped her up.

Nia tried kissing back while she could, but hands were everywhere. It had been so long since someone had touched her like this, teasing her delicate body. Her hips arched, her little frame bowing. Everything he wanted, she gave, helping, raising, shifting. Mouth opened to receive his, her tongue already proving it had a great deal of skill to go with that willingness. As he pulled apart, she lightly sucked his lips, as if to beg him not to part from hers. Her hands drifted down, snagging her delicate panties, knowing she needed to get them out of the way. He didn't seem to mind that her clit existed, bouncing free, a little drizzle anointing the shimmering head. Even it looked delicate and feminine, hairless, with a little ribbon tied around the base, and it wasn't exactly large, obviously unnoticeable except when Nia was aroused like this. She pulled her mouth free a bit. "Ah, you--you may want to turn me around. Most find that preferable," she flushed, "but, ah, I would love to look upon you while you take me for your pleasure," she was pink again, but not nearly as much as before: this was the situation for such words. She arched up, gently kissing him again. "Do with me as you will," she breathed, feeling her clit jostle again.

Oh, was Chastity having a hot dream. Someone with very talented hands that were not attached to her curvy body was teasing her, making her squirm and writhe. She could feel the hands sliding along her hips, taking advantage of her low waistline, teasing all along, likely noting the utter lack of hair atop her even duskier blue mound. They teased her little pleasure button, and even through sleep Chastity let out a little coo of delight.

She shifted, blinking, to turn and smile. Her tail curled around to tease him, flicking against his cock with what was obvious practice (even if most of it was actually from toys; Chastity hadn't heard a complaint yet). She twisted, showing flexibility to go with that agility of hers, drawing his mouth to hers to kiss a few times, giggling as they pulled back, the delight simply unable to be contained.

It evaporated with a knock. "Crapbaskets," she breathed, whirling with evident practice. Hands flew, cinching her clothing tight. She twisted, gathering up the few things she'd left off her person (mostly her belt with all its many, many pouches), getting them into position. "He looked fuckin' drunk!" she yelled at the door. "I figured you'd jus' throw him out! Fuck!" she frowned. "Godsdammit," she almost felt like crying, or maybe laughing. How did this happen every time? Had her parents hired someone to curse her? Because they so would.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, the cute ranger was walking off, and the moment was probably gone. Ugh, Chastity could see the bony half-elf standing aside, finishing another smoke (how many did she have?). "Okay, look," her accent slid back to the chipper, slightly upper crust reality, "that was really awful, and I'm sorry, I really did think he wasn't gonna come back, y'know?" She pouted for a second. "How about you take me into the alley there," she jerked her head, "use my stupid mouth for your pleasure, and then we just figure things out on our own, yeah?"
 
Kraggar continued kissing Nia till well after she suggested he turn her around. It was when he realized she was getting a hard on and might cum. He stood and pulled her to her knees. He put his cock between her breasts, "Okay take as much of this into your mouth as you can. If you jack off your clitty just make sure it doesn't shoot on me. Deal?" Kraggar pressed his cock up between her breast to Nia's lips. If you think you can handle this in your cute tight ass, we will try that after you suck me." Kraggar was taken by how responsive this little elf was. He had never had a whole female react with such longing. Maybe there was something magical that could be done for her, to make her a whole women? God' knew she was all women in every other aspect. Once she took him into her mouth he left her set the pace. He put his hands on her breast, pressing them to his cock as he lightly pinched her nipples.

Ryder put an arm around Chastity as he guided her downstairs to the common room. There was barely enough room to walk to the door in that room. Outside he walked her to the stable but the loft was full as well. Ryder thought he might find a space but he did not feel like trying to ward off a half dozen horny men when they woke to see him fucking Chastity. So he headed for aa nearby alley. Finding one rather clean and dry, with no one around he walked to the middle and with a sudden turn pressed Chastity up against the wall. His strong hands trapping her dainty deft hands together above her head. His kiss was demanding response from her lips. His kiss promised passion and skill. Ryder's free hand moved to her crotch and loosened her pants.

His fingers pressed her pants lower till he could slip fingers along her pussy. Spreading her lower lips to draw out her juices. Dampening his fingers to lubricate, his thumb now wet from her sweet nectar began once more teasing her clitoris. Between kisses he whispered "I might use your mouth after but first I am going to fuck you silly. You see I think your rather sexy and I want to taste you as well." He had her pants down around her ankles by that point and he released her hands. He lowered his arms and lifted her high in the air, draping her legs behind his back he lowered her pussy onto his mouth. His tongue entering her sweet pussy. Lapping at her juices. Once his chin was wet he shifted his mouth to suck her clitoris. Sucking the button into his mouth he let his tongue speed around and over the sensitive spot. he had made women beg to cum doing this and he enjoyed denying them an orgasm till he was ready to allow her one.

Just as he was about to give her that release voices from the end of the alley wafted on the still air to be heard. "Seems we have a couple of lovers mates? Now I wonder if they be willing to share some of that, seeing they are in our territory and all. Only seems fair." Their were three at the one end and two men at the other. Only armed with clubs and daggers they began to advance. "We'll take your coins and a piece of your ladies pussy and no one needs get hurt mate."

Ryder lifted Chastity up and put her down on her feet. With her pants around her ankles and her heated arousal he was not sure if he could count on her to help. "Gentlemen I fear you have mistaken us for victims to be taken. I assure you that if you continue any closer several of you will die. I do not take kindly to being interrupted." Of course they continued to close. Ryder lifted his crossbow and aimed at the three thugs. "Chastity best pull your pants up girl this is going to get violent."

One of the thugs, a larger one with a club sneered and took a step, or began to. Ryder was aiming when he spoke to Chastity when the thug moved he let loose a single bolt. The bolt struck true hitting the thug in the throat. The thug grabbed at his throat as he dropped his club and dropped to his knees. He fell face down on the floor of the alley. Even as his knees hit the ground Ryder loosed two more bolts in rapid succession hitting the thug who had been talking. One bolt hit him in the upper leg but the second hit him square in the chest. he fell over backwards like a tree being felled. Ryder stepped away from Chastity "you got my back girl?" There were two more thug at the other end of the alley. The one facing Ryder, with two dead mates nearby, well he had about lost his nerve by that point. That one threw a dagger which missed badly before he turned to run off.

----------------------------------------------------
Just in case you wanted stat??
I am thinking the five were 3rd level rogues with 15 hps each AC14.
Ryder used his aim on the first shot 18+11=29 so a hit 1d8+8+1d10=19 damage to the first
the second was 10+11=21 hit 1d8+8 ==12dam and the second bolt was 17+11=28 1d8+8 15 dam= 27 dam total
the thug threw a knife 11+4=15 miss
 
The elf turned submissive violet eyes up at the orc, almost pouting. She nodded at his command, bowing her head. The delicate pink mouth opened, surrounding the thick head of his cock. She actually couldn't quite stroke herself (and usually tried to avoid doing so if her partners were unnerved), since she needed to use her arms to pillow her breasts into a proper cushion. Arms moved in practiced motion, squeezing the soft, very real flesh of breasts against the thick cock. Her head bowed down, lips once more parting to give the cock a kiss. She felt his hands teasing her, pinching nipples, making her arousal surge again.

"You're so large," she breathed, tilting her head, looking up at him, blinking her eyes. "I... I know you probably hear this a lot, but this is probably the biggest I've ever seen," she gave it another kiss. Her mouth opened, taking it along the side, dragging up slowly. She drew to the top, mouth widening just enough. A quick bob, and she took several inches in one smooth motion, nearly hitting her chin against her breasts. Nia let out another moan as she felt those hands teasing her nipples, and she looked up, "You taste so delicious," she moaned, letting her tongue loll out again, circling his tip. Nia drew a hand up, perhaps lightening the pressure on her chest, to tease the head, rubbing it, then drawing it to her mouth. She eagerly sucked, before widening her head.

Once more she descended, drawing down, with her eyes looking up. There was almost a look of longing in them, as she took in several inches, before her tight elfish throat convulsed. Nia pulled back, looking up. "Um, you can, maybe, pull my hair a little? The, um, braids can be a bit," she stroked the cock, "tricky, but, ah, you can, um, just do what you want, really," she played with her hair, before realizing that she needed both those hands, and bent back to the task at hand, dropping her warm mouth over his cock.

Chastity felt the mouth press against hers, a hard body shoving her against the wall. A little noise of glee left around her lips, and she rolled her eager body against his. Her mouth opened immediately, greedy lips practically pulling his tongue further into her mouth. Her own quick hands were making short work of his belt. Sure, she didn't technically want to lose her cherry in an alley like this, but that was preferably to, you know, not fucking, particularly with how hot and wet she already was.

Ryder would find proof of that, as he'd feel the utterly smooth expanse of the tiefling's sex. The soft flesh was quite literally magically smooth, and practically radiating heat. He'd find the nectar within almost cloyingly sweet, a clear indication of why the thief had those hips and bust of hers. Chastity just giggled at it, before moving up to kiss those lips again, not caring if she could taste hints of herself on them. She let out a high pitched squeal of delight as he touched her little pleasure button. her hands moved to use the space, caressing his thick bulge against the pants. She was wasting no time in sliding along, finding his waistband and teasing along the top. "Not bleedin' fair," she breathed, "I wanted to go first."

But she sure as hell wasn't complaining as the snug shorts finally got over her thick hips, dropping down to pool around her ankles. She eagerly raised her legs, hooking them with obvious practice and skill around his neck. The hands, deprived of a dick to tease, ran through hair. Well, one did: the other supported to make sure she didn't fall down. That had happened once, and she'd knocked out her partner. "Oh, yes!" she squealed, laughing again. Her eyes pinched closed, belly rolling. The freckles seemed to nearly sparkle like stars in the night. "Your so good with your tongue! I'm gonna explode and---"

Godsdammit! The voice drew Chastity out, and she looked down the alley. "Hey! Can'tcha find yer own fuckin' piece!?" she snapped, eyes flashing with irritation. Ryder barely had to move her: Chastity was already rolling. However, she took advantage of the distraction, kicking in her sneak attack immediately.

Because Chastity found that the last thing idiot rogues expected was for her to throw her pants at their face. The motion, with all its surprise, hit the rogue dead on. As he hadn't been expecting the attack, the poor guy dropped, felled by a rogue's sneak attack with the most unusual improvised weapon ever.

Chastity was already getting ready to dodge, though she expected they were going to be less likely to stab her cute blue ass. A dagger appeared in her hand, one she'd snagged from the belt before throwing. She was already sort of fading into the darkness, using the shadows and Ryder to attempt to hide.



------

Chastity only gets one attack a round ,but she had advantage, as they weren't expecting. 8 on the first, nat 20 on the second, when mixed with her sneak attack means a minimum of 2 x (1d4 + 3d6) + 4 {12}; that guy is going down almost no matter what I roll at that point.

Bonus action: hide: 14 + 3 for 17, which means she's prolly outta their sight unless they start actively looking.
{and we can use the mechanics as much or as little as you want; I'm fine either way}
 
Kraggar moved one hand behind her head and grabbed her hair in his meaty fist. He used the grip to force her face down, his cock entering her throat, his groan of his sheer pleasure was loud in the small room. He held her there briefly before letting her head rise. "If you want that say so Nia. I will oblige you in anyway I can." Kraggar put both hands on the sides of her head, gripping her braids and tilting her face toward his. "Make my cock wet with your saliva Nia and I will fill your ass with my cock. I will fuck you like none other. I will claim all of your sexy body tonight Nia. Your sexy body will be sated this night." Kraggar had a strong philosophy about life, that every minute of every day should be lived to the fullest as the next minute was not guaranteed to anyone. So Nia had a cock? He was Half Orc? How many elfs would even consider fucking him? So this Nia was all woman other than that one tiny part. Might as well enjoy what he could while he could. So he pulled her hair and forced his cock down her throat to wet his cock so he could fuck her ass.

Ryder spun on his heel drawing his saber. He did not see Chastity but he saw her pants over the head of a very dead thug. The last one remaining wanted to advance but seeing Ryder, armed as he was with a saber made the thug have second thoughts. He wanted to attack, to avenge his friend. Still he knew he was outclassed and he wanted to live more than he wanted to avenge his friend. he took a step backwards. "You just wait asshole. The guild here does not take kindly to our friends and brothers being killed. I will see you and that damn Tiefling dead. You wait and see!" His voice was shrill with fear as he backed away to the end of the alley. He turned and ran.

Ryder walked to the dead thug and recovered Chastity's pants. "You want these back Sexy?"

Ryder reloaded his cross bow as Chastity got dressed. "We best find a place to spend the night and keep alert. I don't know how established the Thieves guild is in this burg but I would rather not die tonight. He put a hand behind her neck and kissed her forehead. "Rain check on this? I very much want to make you cum screaming my name." He smiled, a mild blush on his cheeks as he spoke in such a forward manner. It was funny in a way. he had no problem doing the act and being caught but talking about it made his cheeks redden!
 
A high pitched groan came from the elf as she gobbled down several thick inches of orc cock. He'd feel it reverberating along the shat, along with her tongue sliding forward, padding him so he wouldn't even feel the graze of her teeth above. Nia tried to keep her jaw wide enough so that the tops didn't touch as well, but she couldn't quite open her mouth that wide: she was still a delicate elfish maid, after all (if not a maiden). Those hands again went up, and she let out a little noise of agreement at his command. He'd find her pushing herself forward, sucking in enough cock to make her throat bulge. Muscles convulsed, the petite cleric nearly gagging, but seeming to know just how to control herself.

At least, above. Below she could feel her clitty twitch again. A little warmth had started to leak from the tip, her raw desire such that she couldn't possibly hope to contain it. Her eyes had a lustful glaze as she looked up at him, his words seeming to make her head spin, and that spinning almost visible in the expressive pools of violet. She swallowed in time with another thrust, her mouth as wide as she could manage. The tongue flicked, circled, teased, before simply letting pass, wetting the passage further. Her throat contorted, proving that she clearly had experience and skill in stretching it, in taking cock. Muscles still convulsed, her gag reflex threatening itself.

A hand rose, and she gently touched her throat. She tapped Kraggar just enough to get him to loosen, pulling her mouth off and chanting holy words. She smiled up at him. "Just, um a slight cure. I, ah, already, blessed..." she tapped the cock, looking shyly up at him, apologizing, and then showing further apology by sliding her lips down, letting him run hands through her hair again. Gods, this felt amazing, particularly as she watched the arousal etching itself upon him. Such a night...

Boy, was this not how Chastity saw the night going... though she probably could've guessed. She stuck her tongue out at the rogue. "Not even a bleedin' creative taunt," she said, snorting. "Thieves' guild 'ere must 'ave a lot o' limp dicked wankers," another snort, and she was tempted to fling a dagger at him, but he was already running away. Chastity watched, though that was hardly the most interesting thing nearby.

Nope, that came from the hot guy holding her pants. Practically bouncing up, Chastity took them, before using Ryder to balance and help step into them. Stupid things were tight and awkward even when she wasn't doing it almost one-handed in an alley after using them to kinda kill a guy, maybe? Chastity glanced to the thug, shrugged, and wriggle the pants up to her hips, giving a few bounces that made all sorts of things jiggle, getting them back into position. "Yeah, we'd better find a 'ole an' lay low," she said, sighing, tail drooping, "fuckin' blows, but ain't like we can't find ourselves time fir a bit o' hide the dagger, eh?" she produced a dagger that he may recognize as belonging to one of the rogues, waving it in Ryder's face.

Just down the alley, a thin half-elf was aiming her hand carefully. With a word, she fired a ray of crackling, dark eldritch energy. It connected with an unsuspecting bandit, and dark energies pulled him back ten feet, where the half-elf stood over him, the only light coming from the crackling energy.

"Stay the fuck away from the ranger," said Zafah, eye narrowing, "or you'll see my more powerful magic next time."

----

Zafah's roll to hit; 18+6; 24; 2d10 damage = 5; grasp of hadar pulled back 10 feet
 
Kraggar continued to fuck her throat but gently. He felt a sort of empathy with the elf, both had bodies that would cause them to be shunned by society. Him in an obvious way but Nia in a more insidious way. Once he had enjoyed her mouth he with drew and forced her to turn facing away from him, her head down her ass high. "I will check this first Nia. I won't hurt you, tell me to stop at any time and I will. No questions asked. IN time and with practice you will take all of my cock without any issue." he spit on his fingers and teased her anus with a thick middle digit. Once he had puckered her ass several times he slipped that thick finger into her back hole. He let her squirm and adjust just holding the finger still. Once she seemed to loosen and adapt he began finger fucking her. "If this is all you can handle tonight Nia my lovely pet I will finish in your mouth. If you think you can take more I will ease my cock into your sexy ass." He was moving his finger more rapidly by that point and playfully sacked her cute ass.

By using his finger to test the waters back there he was saving his cock to finish in her mouth if her ass proved to tight. True he was not always so considerate but the way Nia responded awakened in him a sort of compassion. He wanted to please the elf and desired to not harm her in anyway. He felt rather protective of Nia as he would a child. He hoped she could handle his cock in her ass but he sort of doubted her slight frame could. He planned on making her practice though, he was planning on many evenings in the near future being serviced by Nia.

Ryder shook his head "I will say this for you Giggles, you are resilient. Most people denied twice in one night would be in tears of frustration. Not you though, your taking it all in stride." Ryder never noticed Zafah as his attention was on Chastity. he swatted her ass playfully "I think we best find a place to sleep. Maybe out in the wilds we will find the time to finish what we tried to start here." he lead the way out of the alley and toward one of the Inn's storage sheds. He broke the lock and went inside. It was dry and the sacks of grain would be more comfortable than the hard ground. He positioned the sack for a bed for Chastity and than for himself. "Might as well sleep while we can."
 
Nia could feel her clit stirring, throbbing, the needful arousal flaring more and more within her. Her eyelids fluttered as she gave herself to these pleasures, so glad that her god allowed her to indulge in the desires of her body. She could see Kraggar's expressions, watching them closely, tilting her mouth to match. Her tongue slid out, teasing the little slit of his cock, circling about to gather fluids that mixed with her saliva, even as she started sucking more and more down, her throat going almost elastic.

Even though she'd been enjoying herself, Nia still let him shift. She looked down at the pillow, only for a moment regretting that she couldn't see him, before looking over her shoulder. She knew that in this position, he'd see her softly rounded buttocks, looking plump and feminine, and that his gaze would likely go on the perky breasts dangling from her chest, not on the throbbing clitty that had already started leaking arousal. "Um, I've had, ah, um, people in there before," she said, shifting, moving a hand to help spread, obviously practiced. Still she bit her lip and squealed as he prodded her directly. She felt another pulse of arousal, a splatter of warmth hitting her lower belly. As he began finger-fucking her, the pretty little elf's toes curled in delicate stockings, her body curling a little as her arousal became even more evident.

Likely she would've said more, but instead she let out a soft gasp, trembling as she felt the surge of arousal. Her body stiffened, and she could feel more and more warmth splattering. Remembering what he said, she clapped a hand to her lower belly, pressing her clit against it to smear more and more of her own want across her lower half. Once she felt the last trembles of the pulsing crest finish, she quickly grabbed a sheet, lowering her head. Yet she still twisted, looking back over her body

"Please don't stop," she almost whimpered. She could feel her hole opening to him. It was tight: she was still an elf, and a petite one even by their standards. She could feel her body stretching, grasping the thick digit but moving around. She was thankful she'd remembered to cleanse herself there as part of her daily ablutions (again, having several hours on most everyone else made it easy to fully prepare herself for the day). this really just felt wonderful, and she almost felt like crying.

"oh, please," said Chastity, waving a hand, "I'll jus' be cryin' inta m'pillow," she said. In truth she felt all kinds of worked up, and if Ryder wasn't going to handle it, she was probably going to wander off and do it herself. The little smack on her plump ass had her letting out a giggle, before she narrowed her eyes, realizing that a hardened rogue, even a horny one, probably shouldn't sound eager about the prospect of getting spanked. "Wotcher 'ands there," she warned. "I can kill a man wit' jus' m'pants," she pointed out, holding her stoic expression for all of three seconds before giggling again, bouncing.

She'd killed a man with her pants!

Off to the storage shed, where Chastity again giggled, before bouncing past him. "Y'know I can pick a lock, righ? Ain't even a hard one," she said, before ducking inside. Chastity turned, quickly casing the room, looking for points of entry and seeing if anyone else had snuck in here. A window, but she wasn't sure she'd fit. Okay, she was fairly certain she'd get everything but her fat ass through. Did she still have some of that oil? She needed to remember to buy some oil of slipperiness. Gods knew that would be all kinds of fun.

"Wanna bet which one of the others actually fucked?" she asked, the knife-biter accident sliding as she plopped down on the sack, dust flying around her. "I'm thinkin' the bard got the kitty to play with some puss, the green guy got the elf to open her pretty little legs, aaaaand that the half-elf witch woman's finding, like, whatever it is evil walking bitches fuck," she tilted her head, pursing her lips. "Cats maybe? They do something with cats... not, like, Tawny sized cats, but, you know, cat-cats."
 
Kraggar took her begging as permission and he laid the head of his massive cock on her tight anus. He pressed it with his hand into her, just the head. He let Nia feel the stretch before he pressed in deeper. He allowed her time to stretch after each inch he pressed deeper. He was half way when he pulled back up, only yo press in a bit deeper than he had been. he began stroking his cock up and down with each stroke penetrating just a little bit deeper. His pace picked up as his cock grew harder with excitement. Kraggar was being careful not to harm her but his own needs were rising. his voice was gruffer than he intended as his desire was getting harder to deny. "Nia you tell me if you can't take any more. I am trusting you to be honest with me."

Ryder laughed at her delayed reaction. "Yes you did, the man was killed by your pants. Just the same some blokes are tougher then others and you liked me swatting that pretty ass of yours. I noticed and I may learn more of your secret desires before this trip is over. His smile was wicked funny as he added "after this adventure your going to need to change your named. I fully intend to satisfy those horny needs of yours and you will not be Chastity any longer. You can count on that Giggles, I will have you before this adventure is over."

Ryder laid down on the grain sacks. "Sleep now though, tomorrow will be a hard days traveling. With many more days to come after. Ryder closed his eyes to sleep. Living in the wild all his life more or less he was a light sleeper. A presence approaching would wake him, the merest touch would bring him fully awake. Ryder felt sleep come upon him swiftly. Tomorrow would begin a new adventure.

The thieves guild was never alerted. The thug that fled left town in fear. The thug Zafah had used magic on hid in a stable the rest of the night for fear someone would find him and ask what had happened to his fellow thieves.

Mindy would have a restless night and wake feeling tired. She would rise and wash up before dressing for the road. She ignored Tawny as if she was not there.
