"We might be able to go beyond city limits as bandit hunters. Not monster hunters, but the next thing." Jesper has already been essentially sworn off monsters by the many friends of his that tell him not to bother. Bandits however are fair game. "Many of them hide in the Badlands, between us and Thorne." Smartly! They stay off the radar themselves and only swoop in when they can take something. Maybe all of then should be paying more attention to that way of thinking.

Jesper is the loud mouth of the three of them, so if anyone is going to be terrible at keeping it quiet, it's him, but he nods firmly in agreement with the other two. Sometimes things only need to be within Crows. He might mention it to Mat in terms of thoughts, but not in terms of actual plans, until they need to get down to it.

"We can't guarantee that Solvunn will stay neutral, so we either get our own piece of the Badlands, or go elsewhere." He's thinking the fae territory, if he's being honest, although he's heard no one survives it.

She nods. “Something to consider. Let’s look more into it, see what we need to know. I’m sure Geralt could help us,” this is mostly said to Jesper, who is more familiar with the other man in question.

“I’ll start looking into maps and territories,” there are no Sikurzoi mountain caves to shelter her in this place, she’ll have to start learning more about the broader parts of this world they’ve found themselves in.

Kaz had been more than willing to work on forming this place into his own but he has to admit, the idea sounds interesting as well. Making their own place, with their people. Enough time and the right resources and they could be a kingdom in this place to reckon with.

And Jesper and Inej would be thankful for those they considered friends to be in safer places, especially now that the war they'd planning for seemed about to start and not just some far mental image.

"We'll do what we need to while we're planning. Helping with this place and seeing what we can do about supplies and money for when the time comes. Being in service means we can keep our ears open and see what details we can find as well as those sympathetic if we need it.

"These bandits may have places they've started of their own, and it could be interesting to find out why and how they started." For all they knew, they were people like them or the friends Jesper and Inej wanted to rescue.

"Geralt probably won't want us to go out there. We'll talk around it." This also to Inej, again since they both know the witcher. He is protective of people under his wing, so to speak, but wouldn't stop them either. They'll just have to be smart about it. It's no matter.

"So maybe go in not shooting right away, figure out if they're worth talking to?" The bandits, he means. If they want to figure out how and why they started.

She nods her agreement with Jesper's comment. Geralt isn't likely to outright deny them anything, but there would be copious warnings, and instances about the way they do things.

"Then we have a place to start," she nods, looking between them. It wasn't much, but it was something, and they've faced worse odds.
