Having escaped the pursuing orcs and ogres, Clari's group now turns to survival. There is food to be foraged and a hundred babies and their nursemaids have to be fed constantly! When other heroes shirk this humble responsibility of feeding refugees, Clariette and her friends take it on with eagerness and passion. Their foraging takes them deeper into the Green Shroud. Something watches them. Clari climbs the top of a huge hill hoping to locate where they are... and that is when things get really interesting!
