Teaching her horde

Rovni had woken early, the beast from the day prior was nothing but a pelt over some wood, her goblins strewn about the dirt sleeping off the celebration.

Rovni let them sleep until the sun had just fully risen and gave her sharp whistle, bringing her goblins around and in a few minutes her horde was coming together, drinking from the lake and coming to.

Soon enough though her goblins amassed in front of her at the burnt out fire they had the night prior, "All are assembled, now we begin, today marks our first step in this new region, your new home and my step in conquest.!" Rovni began, effectively getting the attention of all her horde.

"To start we will have hard days of work, but this paves the way for future spoils, we cannot sleep in the dirt forever, we need huts to sleep in, dry spaces to store our belongs, resources and loot and we need cages for slaves." Rovni continued her speech and her horde perked up at the mention of loot and slaves.

"I will show you how to build stronger buildings, beds and walls, this is not a simple camp to shelter and hide in as the weakling Marg did, this is our war camp! Follow me, gather our tools and join me in the woods." Rovni ordered and her goblins all rushed to follow her orders, grabbing what tools they had and following Rovni into the woods.

Rovni spent the rest of her day instructing the goblins on how best to salvage wood, gather from fallen trees, picking the best ones to fell, how to break them up and how to carry them back.

The process took longer than Rovni had hoped but given the tools of her horde were poorly made or badly damaged she was still impressed by the pile of wood that they had managed to amass come evening, one thing Rovni liked was that once the goblins learnt something they grasped it well and seldom needed reminding on what to do.

Her horde was tired and sore by the time the sun was setting but seemed pleased by their effort and Rovni smiled at them before speaking, "Well done my hard workers, your chieftess is impress by your work, take the evening to rest, and regain your strength, I am going to see what I can hunt for us." Rovni declared and with her axe in hand made her way back through her childhood woodlands aware of where best to find her prey.

Less than an hour later, sweaty from her chase but successful, Rovni dragged two big fat boar into the glade and was quickly assisted by her goblins who took the boars to the fire they had started.

The night came and went quick, and the following day her goblins followed her orders once more and learnt how to dig in basic foundations for buildings and make a hut, taking a few tries before Rovni approved of their work, it was note much but it would house five goblins comfortably and hold against the weather.

the next four days followed in much the same way, gather build, eat, sleep and do it all again until only Rovni had no home, having deliberately forgone it to build her goblin hordes loyalty, putting their needs above her own.

once the final hut went up at noon Rovni called her horde together in the middle of their semi-circular cluster of huts against the lake, "Well done my horde, you followed the orders of your chieftess well and now you reap the benefit, your huts have improved and now suit your needs." Rovni began in recognition of her hordes accomplishment.

"However as you can see." Rovni began, moving next to one of the huts that she stood at eye level with the roof with, "Your chieftess is a bit larger." This earned Rovni a good humored laugh from her horde.

"I have been gone from the region for some years now and need to scout out some nearby areas for future plans and conquests, I will be gone for a few days, so I challenge you, prove that the effort of your chieftess has not been wasted teaching you and build me a hall to lead and live from." Rovni announced and her goblins looked at her for a moment, "Upon my return, I will have plans for our fist raid, so should we capture some slavegirls we will need cages, I bid you all to make at least three cages, I will be no more than four days, follow my lieutenants and remember my teachings." Rovni finished and her goblins cheered at Rovni and her deceleration of loot.

With that Rovni gathered her axe and dagger before making her way across the glade and into the woods, leaving her camp behind her for the time being.
