A coppice of trees

Hopkins came upon {if done nimoda = true}the afformentioned 'good wood patch' mentioned by Nimoda.{else}a small area of trees different from all the others in the woods.{endif} These trees were pines, as thick as a human foot and taller than any stone tower. The forest floor was littered so much by brown pine needles that it was as if walking on top of a pillow, and was otherwise clear of any other flora save for a few grass stalks and a couple mushrooms here and there. These trees seem to have the perfect quality for construction.

Hopkins gives off a whistle; so loud that it'd be heard for miles.

At first, nothing, but then, after what seemed like a few very quick minutes, a wolf sled barreled through the woods to where he was standing, carrying a group of goblins armed with sharp axes. The sled drew to a sudden halt, and the goblins disembarked.

"Someone call for the choppers?" the goblin driving the sled says smiling with a gap-toothed grin. "You no worry now, go back to village. We got it covered! Wood be back at village before you maybe!"

Sure enough, after a long trek back to the village, a large pile of lumber awaits Hopkins in the storage, the wolf sled parked right outside, both the wolves and the driver fast asleep.
