Xiao Chen and his warriors set up their camp near a small stream that flowed down from the mountains. The water was clean and safe to drink as they spotted a few wild animals drinking from it. They erected a defensive camp filled with a ditch that was in a half circle while scattering a few caltrops beyond the ditch to slow down any raid that might happen.
"What are you making?" Adhalia approached the little goblin who was to cook their meal for the night. There were large pots that were placed atop three stones while fire was blazing under them. The little goblin was stirring the contents of the pots one after another as he fed firewood upon the fire from time to time. "Rice...and ugh...soup with meat..." Grogus answered, then ignored the female human who was following him around while he visit each pot.
