We passed a town marked on the map called Ashburn and found that it was somehow had been recently pillaged and almost all the buildings in both the marketplace and trading area were in ruins and were left smouldering. The residential houses were not spared and some residents were rummaging through the rubble, looking for something useful they could use.
Matilda was the one who spotted a pair of girls who were sitting at the pavement and looked sullen and forlorn. she approached the girls and discovered that the orphanage that they were in had been burned to the ground. They were the last 2 survivors left behind as the rest had scurried off when the town was being pillaged a few nights ago.
The two girls were waiting for their caretakers to come and had been huddling together for almost 2 days without food and water and yet they received no news of their caretakers coming back for them.
Stef came to me and reported of these two girls that were left behind and she felt sorry for their state and said they would perish due to starvation and cold in a few days time.
"Robin, these 2 girls had nowhere else to go. Their orphanage burnt down and the caretakers and their friends had all done away and they had been stranded here without food and water for 2 days already."
"Ring Leader, would you mind saving these girls since they've got nowhere to go and no-one else to turn to? If we leave them behind, these girls would soon be dead and be food to the vultures."
"Errr...don't look at me Boss, I'm not involved in this dialogue script. I'll just bring the 80 adventurers away ahead for a while bit and to reach the clearing OK...remember, Boss, this conversation never takes place." Jean Lethal quickly slithered away into the crowd of 80 adventurers and gestures them to move ahead while pulling the floating bridge platform with Will.I.Am sitting on it, ignoring the 3 of us who were having a discussion right now.
I sauntered over and kneeled on one knee near the two girls and looked at them. They had matted hair that was filled with some soot and dirt, they frocks were stained dirty as well, and they weren't wearing any shoes at the moment, which made the journey arduous for them.
They looked at me with tear-stained faces and would do with a good scrub in the river and some Feroa Kurina so that they would be sparkling clean afterwards. Both were fighting with their fingers and their bare feet were cross crossed with one another. They both sure need a manicure and pedicure at least and threw their frock for a pair of adventurer's blouses and breeches.
"Hello, this is Matilda and Stef and my name is Robin, what are your names, little girls?"
"My name is Alleicea and this is my little sister Aventina."
"How old are you Alleicea and Aventina?
"I'm 10 and Aventina is 8. You may call me Ally and Tina if you wish to."
"Alright...Ally and Tina. Would you like to follow Sis Matilda and Sis Stef back to our encampment? At least there's company over there and no one is going to come and village and burn the place down. Did you see who did this to the town?"
"There were big, green monsters with eyes as big as saucers and ears as small as a mini trumpet. Their height is taller than a man by a head at least. They were armed with Spears, Bows, Axes and Mighty Swords. They came here a few nights ago and torched the place down for no reason." explained Alleicea.
"Yeah, they green monsters chopped the patrol guards like it was some kind of doll, *smack* and a head rolled on the ground with its eyes marked with 2 'X' and a tongue was that lolling at the side of its mouth," added Aventina as she expressed the horror she had seen and explained it rather comically.
"Yes, we would like to follow Sis Matilda and Sis Stef here back to your encamp something."
"It's called a camp for short, dear," said Stef as she held both her arms and the girls readily took it in theirs and stood up from the pavement.
"Shhhhrrreeettttt.....!!!" A sudden sound of clothing being ripped could be heard and I half expected that Matilda breeches had torn due to over-snacking but it was from the girls who had sat there unmoving and the backs of their frocks had somehow frozen to the ground.

The moment they lifted their butts, the cloth part where they were sitting on got stuck and torn from their frocks and left a gaping hole that exposes their innocent sweet cheek butts.
Matilda quickly took cardboard and covered their butts and glared at me and said, "I will tell Granny that you like to see young girls naked butt ok... Don't put on that silly smile of yours and the only butt that you may see in the future is your own... Grrr!"
Matilda and Stef brought the two orphans and made them sit on the floating bridge platform that was being pulled and Will.I.Am was made to disembark and pull along with the men. Matilda explained to Will.I.Am who these girls were and he was glad that I had decided to bring these girls back to our new encampment.
That's how the story goes on how we managed to get 2 additional pair of hands for our Will.I.Am to help tend the fruits and vegetable garden as well as the Stanspar.
We walked for over an hour before we reached the place that we would be calling home for the next 90 days. Will.I.Am showed me where our next fruit, vegetables and Stanspar garden would be and I agreed to him since it was encircled by a body of water that looked like an 'O' as no one else would suspect if we were to grow the invisible Stanspar jewels there.
There were some mines and also 2 caves that would be worth to take a look later. The two towns mentioned, Scarthingwell and Barkston Ash were just 10 mins walk from each other on either side. The location of the hearth was marked at the middle of the 'C' side of the river.
"Captains, gather up, please. Alright... Listen carefully. We need to furnish these men with 40 axes and 40 picks, 82 woollen blankets and also plates, bowls, cutleries. Build 4 cooking areas, and get bigger cauldrons for preparing our meals and making tea. Our perishables and consumables would be bought every 3 days and it would be delegated to these adventurers."
"Remember, rice, oatmeal and flour is a ratio of 2:1 so we need to buy at least 40kg x 7 sacks for this whole week. Check if these marketplaces have deliveries and request them to send over these supplies weekly for 12 weeks."
"Once the axes had been bought and dispersed, the 40 men could start chopping the trees to make us a hearth. This enchanted forest that we're in would respawn within 1 minute after being chopped down."
"The previous place was named SafeHaven and now its JL to name it. What's it going to be, my friend?"
"Camp Salvation, how is that, Boss? Would that be okay for you guys?"
"Camp Salvation it is..." I replied.
"I'd say aye to that, Jay..."
"Aye Aye Captain...Hii Hii Hii..."
"Alright, in the meantime, could someone get a few more clothes for the two girls, Ally and Tina, please...I won't want Will to drool as he watched the sweet cheek butts of these untouched girls. Hahahahaha..."
