The Harpers' Read
One of the goblinoid kin; see also Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear. A goblin is a coward with a knife, dangerous mainly in a mob and from cover. It is nimble — it darts in, strikes, and flits away without giving you a free swing — and it loves an ambush and a trap. Break their nerve or their numbers and they scatter; corner them with archers in the trees and they bleed you a cut at a time.
Encounters of Record
