The crew weathers the night safely, resting under their hats, burrowed amongst some low brush to provide added cover from the glow. They eat the last of their foodstuffs as a quiet morning meal, and keep a constant watch on the goblin entrances for activity.
As they finish their breakfast, the main entrance is suddenly a flurry of activity. A dozen or so goblins carrying buckets and chittering in their foul tongue exit, dumping the sewage on the stones a few yards away from the door. The stench reaches the party a few minutes later, as the goblins return into their hovel. A second party of six exits, armed with short throwing spears and nets. They head off rimward, away from the Olic’s crew towards a small stand of trees where you can hear skylers roosting.
No activity is noted at the smaller, shuttered entrance, and a thin wisp of smoke is exiting through the chimney.
“Seems someone should keep an eye out here, in case that hunting party returns. I am of the most use here in the embrace of the Void. I say the farmer and I hold here, with the boy.” Fairfield grimaces at the Orange Man’s words, and looks to the captain for confirmation of his ‘orders’.
