After marching through the Jungle for about 4 hours the jungle appears to clear and open out and there in front of her was a medium sized village completely burnt to the ground . The village was not smoking anymore but the distinct smell of damp burnt wood and ashes surrounded the area . As she moved closer to the village there was a blackened and charred childs doll discarded on the floor among the odd scripture and items of clothing . Nuwa wondered if there were any survivors close by , and if this was the place Hilt Frey had spoken about , but she could see no signs of a giant cooking pot and this village was alot larger than he had described .

Nuwa decided to move closer in to the village to investigate further .

Encounter : Shou Goblins , Patrol for Intruders , Bloodthirsty spoiling for fight , 3 appear – largest has double hit points , 20 goblins in base camp .

Trove : Scruffy Bandits Purse = 24 gp

As she enters the village further to investigate , she sees a small red cloth bag somehow untouched by the fire . She picks it up and opens to find around 25 gold peices , "This is just the start" she thought pleased with herself ... As she put the red purse in her adventurers bag a voice boomed behind her .

"We found a survivor ! Pity , our blades will do our dirty work on these filthy invaders to Shou lands ..... KILL HER!"

Nuwa turns around to see 3 goblins heading straight for her , 2 of usual size and one quite a bit bigger covered in tattoo's and fashioned gold who must have been the leader . She immediately raised her sword and sheild and prepared for battle .

She side steps to the left as they approach swinging their blades , she slashes at the left most goblin , her blade cutting through his neck . Blood sprays across her face and armor as he drops to his knees holding his throat in vein . She then lunges at the second smaller goblin , sword peircing through his leather armor , he stumbles back and falls to the floor blood weeping from his heavy wound .

The leader seems unfazed by his comrades early demize and slashes his scimitar at Nuwa , as she dodges out the way , she swings back with her sword catching his wrist causing a deep gash , the large goblin winces in pain and scowls looking more determined . He swings back catching Nuwa on the upper right leg as she shreiks in pain . She swings back in anger up and over as her sword embeds itself into the goblins head . The weight of his body pulls her arm down as he slumps to the floor , she eases the sword from his skull as it makes a light cracking sound .

She breaths a sigh of releif and checks for life on the smaller goblins . One is dead the other is mumbling to himself "Shakun ....Sh.ak.unnn." as his breath hastens while staring at the skies . She lunges her sword into his body , the goblin winces slightly as he releases his final breath still staring at the skies , almost smiling . She bandages her leg wound and checks the goblins for loot .

"Shou raids this far into the Mandarite ? " She thought to herself . She decided to head north for 3 miles to get away from the raised village , where she found a large thick stumped tree . She climbed the tree and setup camp on one of its heavy duty branches . "Better up here in case more Shou show up " she said to herself . She ate fruit that night so as not to alert further raiders with a camp fire and got her head down .
