Xiao finds the three long tents are all essentially the same inside: There is a short row of hammocks which tie from the center post to the pole supporting the tent sides. There are twelve of these "bunks" in each tent, six per row and two rows high. Hanging from hooks on the opposite side are a mixture of belts, weapons (mostly shortswords), and gear sacks; the most common seem to be dark brown leather sidepouches of a fairly decent size. Clothing and other small personal items sit in nets hung from the center poles, as well. Xiao notes that these hooks supporting the hammocks and sacks as well as to hold the tent sides in place are all the same, such that all the poles used in the tent's construction are identical and interchangeable. At least a half-dozen circular gouges of turned dirt are visible about each tent, suggesting that the crews involved had trouble placing these poles.
Missing from all the tents, however, are there inhabitants. A few stools, food scraps beside them, form a semi-circle about the campfire, as well as the numerous still-visible bootprints all suggest recent habitation. Indeed, from the remnants of the fire there is a vague but friendly scent; if he could not blame his imagination, Xiao would swear they'd been baking sweet almond bread. Around the camp fire, however, Xiao does note three more small mounds of gouged dirt, two by the stools, and one about six feet behind them.
