Continuation of the night mission

Gro carried on her trek through the forest, the night air was starting to a chill a little but was still easily tolerable due to the trees acting as wind breaks. It wasn't long before she came to base of the mountain, just as the treeline ends, which was lucky for her. It wasn't a sheer face cliff so she began hiking up, step by step, rock by rock. When Gro was at a high enough altitude she began walking around the perimeter of the mountain, and sure enough she saw the town gate beneath her. It was a high wall that met up on both sides with the mountainous rock walls, and made use of the natural geometry to keep people out.

Gro peered down and saw many sentries, clearly this was a town that was defending something special, like the precious metal that Gob had spotted in the traders caravan. Gro carried shimmying around the mountains upper ledge taking in the sights, she saw many houses with darkened windows, a few odd lights moved up and down the streets, yet more patrols Gro figured as she watched the small flickering lights within the town. Moving around more she spotted in the distances a mine entrance, lit up and still active even at night as she saw miners still pushing minecarts of ore from within the mines out into storage boxes for transport later.

This was indeed the town they were looking to set up into, it would be a risky mission but if she could pull it off then the rewards would be incredible. Gro carried on moving around the ledge until she spotted a dark looming building, placed higher on the rocks than the rest of the town. Gro licked her lips. It was a castle perched up ontop of a sheer face mountain that was disconnected from the mountains nearby, secluded and looking down on the town with a smallish pathway up to the top, only wide enough for single caravan to comfortably make it's way to the summit. It looked very defensible, and it's solitary location would be an ideal place for Gro to set up a birthing pool.

Gro was set on the location, but how would she infiltrate such a location? Gro searched around until off in the distance she saw it, it was a rock face overlooking the castle, the rock protruded from the cliff face and the distance was manageable, Gro thought. If she ran across the protruding rock pathway she could jump and land on the castle walls, it was no easy feat for a human, but for an Orc with such powerful legs, she could manage the fall with little to no problem.

It was an almost perfect plan, the problem was getting out, once she was in then she was going to stay in until she had conquered the entire town, leaving the town would mean she'd have to somehow get by dozens of sentries without being spotted, a very improbable task and not something she'd like to try out just to get a better interior look of the castle. She looked at the moon stage and determined that she only had a few more hours of darkened visibility left. With her plan set out in her head she descended the mountain back the way she had came and set back through the forest once more.

Gro passed the Elf's now abandoned campsite, nothing remained but the blackened charcoal, and white ashes. The burnt fish still propped up by the long extinguished fire, now cold and inedible. Gro moved past that camp and retraced her steps, finally making it out of the forest and moving past the treeline and into the open, making sure she stayed away from the roads but not by such a margin as to lose her bearing. Gro saw a few patrols come riding by as she walked but wasn't phased by them, she was far enough away that even if they caught a glimpse of her she'd be so far away and not visible enough to make out any of her racial traits.

Gro soon came to that all inviting corn field, the last home stretch before she could kick back and relax, she passed by the well maintained plants, her legs weary from walking, fucking and climbing, finally she came to the front door of the Carl residence, the door still on its hinges thanks to Gro's restraint, she'd even noticed some repairs on the door. Clearly Carl was a handier craftsman than James.

Gro opened the door and was greeted by a sight of a sweaty Gob and Zoe, sitting by the dining room table, a fire crackling in the fireplace, both of them kicking back and relaxing from what Gro could only assume was an intense round of fucking. The both perked up as they heard and then saw Gro enter the house. Gro gave a small wave and sat herself on a chair by the fireplace, eager to warm herself up and take a load off after a hard days work. She slumped into the chair and sighed.

"Well that was an interesting adventure." She said half amused, half tired. Gob handed her a plate of chicken wings, cold but still delicious, Gro wasted no time in wolfing them down, only pausing to sip on the ale Zoe had handed her. Once Gro was finished she burped as if to signify her completion.

"So what did you discover?" Zoe finally asks, eager to hear the news. Gro picked at her teeth with her fingernail as she spoke. "You can indeed get inside the town through the mountains, it's so steep on the inside that getting out will be impossible without going through the gates, but on the outside we can definitely get up and inside the town." Gro explained, removing the offending strips of chicken flesh still stuck to her teeth. "There's a part of the mountain that looms over the towns castle, I've judged the distance and I'm sure we three can get onto the castles wall and from there, getting into the castle itself should be a much easier task." She finished.

"A castle huh, so we're aiming for the top?" Zoe asks, a serious expression across her face. Gro nods. "If we're able to enslave the baron or baroness and the castle guards inside, we can essentially have free roam of the castle, and from there we can slowly enslave the towns people one after the other, with the three of us we could do it in a month." Gro estimated, Gob grinned at the news.

"So long as I get to suck lots of delicious dicks then I don't mind! Especially if I get to bully those human men as well!" Gob gloated, ever the airhead. Gro got out of her seat and headed towards the hall. "I'm gonna get a few hours sleep" She declared, walking down the hall and past all the different rooms that had now been set up for accommodation. She peered into each one of them, some empty but others full. James and Carl slept by themselves, Rita and Lisa shared a double bed in one room, Sophia and Sage shared a bed in another, Stacy and Trish shared a double bed in yet another, and finally Gro came to Elfs room, Siera slept by herself in a single bed. Gro decided to take the room at the end of the hall, it was a nice soft double bed and she wanted to spread out.

Collapsing on the bed she fell asleep within seconds, not wanting to waste any time catching up on some much needed Z's.
