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 Solstice	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.
Krshia Silverfang	Erin gaped at Krshia. She gestured with her hands.
Erin Solstice	“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 Solstice	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.
