'''Chapter 1.07''' is the 8th chapter of [[Volume 1]].

== tl;dr ==
[[Erin Solstice|Erin]] makes baskets out of grass and learns from observing [[Goblins]] how to tell good and bad [[Amentus|blue fruit]] apart. While she waits for her previous guests, a [[Pisces Jealnet|skeletal creature]] forces its way into the inn.

== Synopsis ==
[[Erin Solstice|Erin]] wakes up smiling and has breakfast. Then she goes to the [[Amentus|blue fruit trees]] and crafts a basket out of grass. She collects some blue fruit and then fails to steal more eggs from another [[Razorbeaks|Dino Bird]]. She decides to wash out the bite marks she got with river water. Thanks to the blue fruit seeds, the rock crabs don't pose a problem for her.

When she returns to the inn, she has to throw up from food poisoning. She runs to the river, puking several times on her way there, and started gargling water there. She finds out it is poisonous as one fish that nibbled her puke dies. After a bit of experimenting it is clear to her that blue fruits can go bad and become rather poisonous, but she can't tell them apart for now. Erin hides behind a hill as six [[Goblins]] appear to collect water and blue fruits as well. But she left her basket behind.

The [[Rags|smallest Goblin]] suspects that Erin made the basket, as she has been sighted around the blue fruit tree grove before, but the other five goblins don't believe her. She gets kicked into the stream but manages to get out. One of the older goblins uses [Detect Poison] to tell the good fruits apart from the bad ones, but the smallest goblin figures out a way without [[Skills]].

After the Goblins are gone, Erin needs some time to figure out the difference the smallest Goblin had found: Bad fruits were leaking juice. She returns back to her inn as [[Pisces Jealnet|something]] is watching her. Back in her inn Erin does some cleaning and wait for her guests from yesterday, [[Relc]] and [[Klbkch]], to appear again.

Meanwhile in the [[watch]] barracks, these two try to sign off, but keep getting delayed by work, making it impossible for them to return this evening.

Erin almost falls asleep in her inn as something knocks on her door. Something with an echoing voice demands entry and sustenance, a skeletal creature. Erin tries to deny it, but it manages to push the door open. Erin throws a cooking pot at it.
