"Like I care." Sergei spat, snatching up Stephanie's crossbow, leaving the crank on the ground. Grabbing the string, he braced it with his foot, and used all the muscles in his back to draw it. As Wledric grew smaller, he spitefully braced it in the crook of his elbow, briefly aiming before releasing the trigger.

"Wouldn't suggest going towards any monster bands." he called out, taking a seat beside Stephanie. "I've burned more than my share of demihuman villages."

"Goblins, especially, are considered a nuisance. We'd send out a band every other week or so, just to make sure there weren't any nest outside our farms." he grinned. "They're really small. You can stick three on a pike, then leave that as a warning for the others not to get to close to your domain."
