Krshia Silverfang
|
Krshia shook her head. Once more, she stood at her shop counter, this time sharpening a knife with a whetstone as a product demo. She was selling whetstones and knives. She seemed very familiar with both; there wasn’t much chance she would cut herself as she applied more water to the whetstone. |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin hadn’t known you sharpened knives with, well, a stone. Or that you got it wet. Hence the name. Krshia had laughed the entire time—until she realized Erin was serious. And when the Human girl described the idea of the ingredient she needed, the Gnoll rested her chin on her paw and frowned mightily. |

Erin groaned. She felt she shouldn’t be surprised, but she still hated being surprised. |
Krshia Silverfang
|
Again, Krshia shook her head. |
Erin Solstice
|
“What is this powder supposed to bake, Erin Solstice?” |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin gaped at Krshia. She gestured with her hands. |

“Are you talking about cow leavings, Erin Solstice?” |
Erin Solstice
|
Furiously, Erin grabbed at her hair. She immediately let go. Her hair was not as hygienic or as clean as she was used to it being. |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin stopped ranting and pounded her fist lightly into her hand. |
Krshia Silverfang
|
Thirty minutes of Krshia laughing and snorting at her later, Erin Solstice was walking back to her inn. She kicked at the clumpy grass, too mad to even admire the orange tint to the patch she was walking through. She was mad. |

|
Erin grumbled to herself as she trudged back to her inn. She kicked the knee-high grass and wished she had a lawnmower the size of a skyscraper. Maybe then her legs wouldn’t itch so much after walking— |
Erin Solstice
|
A familiar sound across the plains. It made Erin’s blood go cold. She stopped, listened, and then saw it. |
Erin Solstice
|
A gigantic, grey, craggy rock seemed to be levitating across the grasslands. But that was only an illusion. If you looked closer, you’d see many legs churning up the soil underneath the rock. But Erin had no intention of getting that close. She knew what was making that sound and what was living under that rock. |
Erin Solstice
|
It was a Rock Crab. Erin froze and then turned to run. But it wasn’t coming at her. |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin got her answer as a bunch of much smaller figures surged over the crest of a hill, chasing the Rock Crab. Goblins. |
Erin Solstice
|
What a ridiculous statement. Erin was amazed to see the same group that had been around her inn when the Chieftain…her smile vanished, but it came back when she saw the silly sight. |

Erin Solstice
|
A huge Rock Crab, half as large as a house, was scurrying across the grass, surging down a hill as little green figures, short and waving weapons, pursued it. Erin had been in that situation, but she hadn’t weighed—what—thousands of pounds? Yet the crab fled the tiny group of eight, and Erin wondered if the Goblins had scared it with seedpods. That was the only thing she could think of. |

At first, Erin grinned at the sight, but her smile faded as more and more of them appeared. First there were eight. Then ten. Then twenty—forty— |
Erin Solstice
|
That was a lot of them. Erin’s smile vanished as she heard that familiar, dangerous sound. The Goblins were screaming a warcry of their own as they chased the Rock Crab. The crab seemed to sense them behind it and sped up, but it was still too slow. As Erin watched in amazement, the first Goblin leapt and managed to cling to the Rock Crab’s shell. |
