The caravan lies broken under a harsh sun, its promised gold vanished. Silence hangs heavy over the sprawled bodies. Then, a rustle from a thicket of thorns—a flash of green. A goblin, barely hip-high, launches herself at you, dagger gleaming. You pivot, your motion a blur, and send her crashing to the dusty earth. She thrashes, baring sharp little teeth in a snarl, until her wild dark eyes find yours and go still.
