With a smile the blue robed scholar Zhuge Jin walked through the streets of Jian An. Together he and Huang Gai would accomplish an important task for the coming war that was certainly the least well kept secret in the Southlands. Zhuge Jin's part of the mission was simply to fashion clay pots to hold their......unique cargo. Jin himself and two servants walk into a potter's shop in order to begin work on preparing these pots. With an odd smirk across his face the scholar walks up to the potter and says:
Dear Potter we will need to use your facilities in order to put together fifty clay pots with which our lord will surely secure the next battle for our kingdom. Surely should you allow us to do so you will be properly appreciated and rewarded by lord Sun Ce. I am his humble servant Zhuge Jin by the way.
For a moment a look of confusion crosses the face of the potter before he responds with:
Should it aid lord Sun Ce I guess I will aid you Zhuge Jin. You said fifty pots? What in the word could you be using so many pots for on a battlefield?
I'm sorry good sir, that is sadly a bit of a military secret. Lets get to work shall we?
As a Cheshire cat grin crosses the face of Zhuge Jin, the potter turns to collect his tools and begin the difficult process of making the fifty pots for lord Sun Ce.

Gai and his men had the bothersome chunk of preparing Zhuge Jin master plan. He had gathered a platoon of his most trusted soldier's at full night's sleep, They had prepared five horse drawn cart's and all of Gai's troop carried giant net's, They moved slyly out of the city and maneuvered towards the thickly grown forest's with only the moonlight as guidance to lay trap's and stalk there prey...
The cart's were slowly filling up, they were loaded with a numberless amount of humankind's nightmare's. There was creaking and cracking as Gai's deadly cargo tried to escape from the cart's, no good. The great General had gave a personal inspection of all five cart's, he examined the breathing hole's; if they were too big or too small. He checked the sturdiness of the wood which would brace the sheer weight of the amount of malicious stockpiled in the sturdy cart's. They wouldn't elopement.
"General! General! We have just found the largest one yet!" One of his trusted soldier's called out.
Gai was sitting on his royal steed watching over his troop's in action "Good good young Sergeant, That will be the last one of the night, we have enough to fill fifty pot's now. Gather the troop's and prepare the march back towards Jian An."
The next morning General of the Vanguard arrive at the local potter's shop and found the young advisor Jin preparing clay pots to deliver it's horrendous, horrifying, intimidating and spine-chilling cargo.
The great General smiled warmly at Jin "My task is done advisor Jin, your 'goods' are waiting for you in the courtyard in the barracks."

With a smile Zhuge Jin tells his men to load their precious cargo into the pots. These pots had been specially designed to break upon impact with any hard surface so that the clay would break before the small creatures within suffered too much of an injury. After all these pots would be launched by catapult and would be a nasty surprise when Wu went to war. As a devious smile crosses his face Zhuge Jin loads the pots onto a cart and begins the march to Jian Ye.

Could've been a lot more flushed out -- but I suppose the job was done.
Rewards
Sun Ce's forces now have fifty clay pots filled with what was only described as; "Creepy Crawlers."
