After an uneventful trek, both caravans arrive at their destinations. Or so the caravan drivers claim, as they stop in the middle of jungle. They give maps of the initial scouting expedition to the leaders, unload a few crates filled with food and tools, and ask for any preferences for the next caravans. Workers crowd around each other, unable to do much of anything until the dense jungle foliage is cleared away.((It takes 5 worker/turns or one player turn to survey a hex for resources. Any workers may work in any of the hexes around the city. Expeditions may be sent elsewhere to bring back resources, if so desired.
Farmers will spend their first turns clearing fields, and bring in steady food after that.
Hunting may be useful: It brings in 0-3 food per laborer, +1 per soldier level.
PCs may either help set the camp up, explore the nearby area, or go looking for trouble further south.))
