The goblins were gathered around makeshift tables in the underground fortress, their high-pitched chatter echoing through the stone corridors. Torches flickered on the smooth walls, casting dancing shadows over their crude wooden bowls and tools. Their small hands gripped scraps of roasted meat, and their laughter filled the air. For these thirty-five goblins, this was a rare moment of joy—celebrating their first successful hunt under the Skullborne Ravager's watchful eye.
The Ravager stood on the platform overlooking the main cavern, his towering form framed by the flickering light. He was quiet as always, his presence alone commanding respect. His hollow eyes scanned the goblins as they clumsily celebrated, a faint crackling sound drawing his attention. The glasses perched on his angular face flickered, and words began to scroll across the lenses:
NEXT TASK: DEFENSE.
OBJECTIVE: CULTIVATE OBEDIENCE AND DEFENSIVE INSTINCTS WITHIN THE GOBLINS.
