If Talya didn't notice Jalna's state or was pretending not to was unclear, but as time passed they warmed up and their equipment dried. The sisters soon got dressed, the older girl having a bit of trouble with adjusting her leather bodice around her chest but eventually fit it on comfortably.<br/>The fire was put out and they broke camp before heading out, slowly making their way to a higher vantage point.<br/><br/>After a few hours they've reached a vista that looked over the smaller hills on either side of the valley and spotted indeed a force gathering not far to the South from their position, at the foot of the mountain. A multitude of primitive tents and makeshift huts were filling a field, their design goblinoid or orcish. There were no lookouts or guard towers however, hinting that they were either on the move in numbers, or some sort of unusual incomplete settlement, though that option was less probable.<br/><br/>"See the big tent? Probably belongs to their leader. For monstrous humanoids it should be in the central location but this one is nearly at the edge by the hillside, away from the noise and movement. Also, why are they out in the open instead of staying in holes in the mountainside? I thought goblins and orcs were cave-dwellers." Talya also pointed out. "If we got close enough, I bet we could check it out without them even noticing. So far we don't have much more than the travelers who saw<em>something</em>."<br/>The scout cocked her head, looking to figure out a safe route to get closer to the camp if needed.<br/>"Could cross that hill from the valley, perhaps gather something to eat on the way." she pointed out a possibility. Indeed since entering the caverns some hours passed, and the girls spent some energy climbing and hiking during the time, not to mention fighting off and outrunning monsters. It was either find food on this side or hold out and bear the hunger until they got back to their stash on the other side of the mountain where the rest of their gear waited.
