Chapter 171: Hill Giant Camp

Karl was awoken well before his shift by the sound of monsters moving through the forest. The sound of breaking branches brought him out of a sound sleep, or perhaps it was Rae relaying the information about the noise. 

In his half asleep state, Karl couldn't tell the difference, but the mage on duty hadn't noticed it yet.

"There is something big moving in the woods." Karl whispered to her as he scanned the forest for the exact location of what was causing the noise.

Their position today wasn't as high, so he didn't have the advantage of being able to see over the treeline and look down at the monsters nearby, but he could still clearly hear the movement and it was getting closer.

"Wake the others if you think it's going to attack us. I will be happy to let it pass by if we can so that we're not fighting in the dark." She whispered back.
