Chapter 15: First Raid
The moment he stepped into the underground cave, a low, guttural rumble echoed from somewhere in the shadows ahead.
He froze.
"What was that?" He murmured, narrowing his eyes and peering into the dense blackness that swallowed the path beyond. The darkness pulsed with quiet menace, and something unseen stirred just out of reach.
From the shadows, a flicker of movement caught his eye—then another. Several pairs of glowing red eyes emerged, inching closer with every heartbeat.
"What!?"
He stumbled back as the shadows gave way to a swarm of small, red-skinned creatures. Their pointed ears, sharp as blades, jutted out from beneath tangled hair.
They numbered up to twenty five, cladded in ragged scraps of cloth and wielding crude clubs.
[Multiple Red Goblins have appeared]
[Fortitude: 2.1]
"Goblins? Huh, just what you'd expect to see in a typical cave."
The goblins charged at him, swinging their clubs without mercy like the diabolical creatures they are.
