Daven leans back into the bough of the tree that he's in while the discussion rages. "Fire fuck, you can try and fuck up anyone who tries to throw their name in the list, but it ain't gonna change the outcome if Harl says he don't want it." He calls down to the raving pyro.

"We could go to the cellars and decide our leader from there," Tim suggested, after hearing Barley's suggestion. "It's safer than out here for sure. And then our leader can decide where we go next."
Since they hadn't picked a leader yet, Tim couldn't imagine the group agreeing on a safe location to travel to without a leader to make the decision for them.

Pete glanced at Harl expecting any reaction. Depending on his answer, Pete was ready to back off and even accept Donnal as leader of the Group. It seemed that the gods had spoken and Pete had found a new boss to follow, be him the Leader or not.

Alyn held the reins of his horse as he listened to their discussion.
"Looks like we have the choice between a one eyed woman, a mummer and a boy who wants to protect the small folk by robbing the rich." he commented. "While the last is admirable, I say there is only one here who has the experience and the infamy to lead us. Bandy Long-chop. The most wanted man in the Riverlands I'm told. Feared and reviled in equal measure."

“And just hope they done find us?” Barley said with an inelegant scoff, “I don’t think so,”
Seeing as they all seemed doomed to die in this house, Barley left to look around for a direction that might provide cover or some kind of way to for the horse to lose their trails.

"Harlan don't want to lead," Tim informed Alyn. "So unless he changed his mind, that's one man out o' the runnin'. And where is Long-chop anyhow? Ain't seen 'im all day." An' we ain#t got time to hang around. We got to decide quickly.

As if the devils own name had been spoken, out from the woods strode the man with the axe that brought him his name. Bandy Long Chop was an older member of the lot, having thrown in with them simply because he'd been tired of being off on his own. Strength in numbers beat having to sleep with two-eyes open. At least now he only needed the one.
"Oiy, What's all this 'bout Fearin' 'n Veilin'?" The man asked as he caught only the last portion of what was said, his name and the compliments Alyn had to bestow on him, "One o' me Axes got stuck..." Was his simple explanation for where he'd been, the hatchet and war axe both on his person as he raised a brow at the group.
"What's all this standin' round for? Boss's hangin like a gutted fish, ain't he? We need ta pack up 'n go." The reachman said, knowing from experience that one bandit was rarely all that was taken to sate the public. They'd want at least 3 to feel safer and good about themselves. And He had no intention of being one of those 3 or more.

For all his faults, Longinch had chosen the location for his bandit hideout well, nestled along a riverbend. It had one approach, a trail that led directly to the common road into town. The stone ruin could be defended for a time if it came to it, its back to the river. However, the strengths in the position were also its weaknesses, as if a force came looking for them, the only direction out would be through them.

"Aye Bandy. We're all ready to leave and the packing is already done. We're just figuring out who our new leader ought to be." Donal informed the newly arrived Bandy. "Ser Alyn seems to favour you. Apart from that I'm the only option at the moment."

"Can''t we just put it to a bloody vote and get out of here?" Tim suggested.

Since Bandy had not yet put himself forward, Donal took advantage of the momentary silence following Tim's intervention to benefit himself. "Aye, Tim has the right of it." He declared. "The more time we dally here the worse we shall be for it. Let us vote now. All in favour of me?" He raised his hand and scanned the group to see who followed.

Tim raised his hand as well. It seemed best to have a leader who wanted the job than one who didn't, and there were certainly worse people who could be volunteering, and fortunately hadn't. Besides, he wanted to get the hell out of the mill as soon as possible.
"I'll back you," he said. "If it 'elps, I found something as might be of use once we're done here."

Barley finished her assessment then headed back to the door, “can this not wait? If we don’t get down that hill we’re going to be like fucking fish in a fucking barrel. We can play come into my castle for leadership later,” of all the bandit troops why did she have to be taken in by the one full of morons. “The town watch could literally come any second!”

"Could go along the river," Tim said. "There's a secret door, and a boat. I'd 'ave mentioned it sooner, only I ain't no leader, and we'll be needin' one to decide where we go next."

“You need to be the leader to mention there’s a secret escape?” She asked and rolled her eyes in dismissal of tim. “I’ll keep watch let me know when you’ve all decided on deciding whose decided to try leading us” basically meaning let Her know when the vote was actually happening.
She headed out and looked to the horizon so she could see if and when people were starting to approach.
