The Jade Whores (plus Marcius) carefully circled around the village to its southern side, where some of the huts were built right up against the 10-foot high palisade.<br/><br/>After Yazhu's embarrassing attempt at scaling the walls failed, Marcius and Shalelu managed to scramble up the wall and onto the roof of the southern-most hut (H7), with Baihu hitching a ride in fox form on her shoulder. They lowered ropes for Yazhu, Ameiko and Sandra, who then used them to climb up onto the roof as well.<br/><br/>From the roof Yazhu had a vantage point over the whole village. Each of the buildings, as well as the wooden walkways connecting them, stood 5 feet above the muddy ground on wooden stilts. The huts themselves were sized for small creatures, just 6 feet high with barely enough clearance for a human like Yazhu to stand straight inside. There were residential huts (H5's), one of which had been burnt down (H8), and taller watchtowers with numerous windows (H4) affording excellent views of the surrounding area. To their right was the largest hut (H9-H10-H11) in the village and obviously an important building.<br/><br/>It was eerily quiet, the inhabitants still refusing to show themselves, the loudest sound being the roof they were standing on (H7) creaking under the weight of six medium-sized creatures that it was never meant to support!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>OOC: In addition to whatever actions Yazhu takes, make a Perception check to see if she spots the hiding goblins. (She keeps her pre-rolled natural 20 initiative.)</em>
