"It'll be faster if we go on horses."

Jen's answer pleases you. She probably just wants to be rid of your company as soon as possible, but it'll do. For now. You slide the tip of your vine over the still wet rim of her anus as a small reward, sending a spark through her body. The group keeps walking down the street.

Liz, the healer, says "There's a problem, then, Jen - ooh, it rhymed - we don't have any horses, and you know they're super expensive!"

"I know!" she says, a bit annoyed "We need horses, maybe... we could... steal?" annoyance turns into shame.

Both her friends look at Jen in confusion. The healer is a surprised but the hunter, even being drunk as he is, is understanding. He is the first to respond.

"It really IS urgent, innit?"

"Yes... I don't want to drag you two into this. Much less if I'm going to commit a crime. So I will not be angry if you guys decide you're not coming."

"No way. We're on this together. Right Liz?" he says.

The healer is still a bit confused by the sudden changes to Jen's behavior, but she nods "Yessir, we're on this together!"

After exchanging a few smiles and words of support, the group arrives at the edge of the village, where a barn works like a garage for horses. There's a single teenager on the outside. Defeating him would be easy, but he's not the main problem. Being near the surrounding walls, there are a lot of guards here, and dealing with them would be really troublesome (for the two other members of the team).

"Ok, here's my plan" says the hunter, now a bit more sober as the debuffs from the mead are expiring "I'll hit him with a dart, using a paralysis poison. We'll have about 20, maybe 22, seconds to go in, release the horses and escape. If we're lucky, he won't be able to call for help before we're near the gates, almost out. We should cover our faces and equipment so they don't recognize us. Any questions?"

The healer objects "That plan sucks!"

The hunter is obviously offended "No, it does not! It's a good plan. We could also release all the horses to create a distraction, but it would also attract a lot of attention... Ah, fuck you..."
