Almost an hour later, the preparations were complete. Piles of weapons, sacks of dried meat, and bundles of supplies were neatly stacked near the center of the chamber.
I had ordered them to wrap everything in bundles—it was faster that way. Moving everything at once would save time and energy compared to making endless trips back and forth. They'd followed the instruction well, tying the bundles securely with rope and setting them aside in rows, ready for transport.
Once I confirmed that everything was in order, I took a step back, glancing over the chamber one last time. "I'll take the food and weapons ahead," I said, more to myself than anyone else.
A small goblin caught sight of me and hurried over, nearly tripping on a rope as he ran. "Chief!" he called out, panting lightly.
"Gather everyone," I told him, my tone brisk but calm. "I'll be right back."
Without waiting for a reply, I activated [Leap]—and in the next instant, the cave blurred away from sight.
