Khurn Valdur was a medium-sized fort that was located in a barren wasteland within Palgrost. The terrain was mostly rocky desert with barely a tree in sight. There was a stream going through this desert, though. This stream went directly underneath the fort and provided the fort with a water supply.
The stream was only around knee high, so it was not possible to swim inside it, but one can crawl inside it.
This was what Grace, Paytowin, David, and Associate Clearsky were doing at the moment. They were crawling inside the moving stream.
Despite being shallow, the speeding water obscured what was underneath it. If one didn't pay attention, one wouldn't notice the four people crawling underneath the water. Additionally, this was nighttime, so it was even harder for someone to spot them. The fort was also currently only being manned by a minimum number of soldiers, so the chance of them being spotted was low.
