I had been digging a hole deep into the hillside above the retaining wall behind my home. That's a whole other story I will have to tell you about some time, but I think that will have to end now. I was digging away, minding my own business, when I accidentally broke through the side of a goblin lair chamber. They were not too pleased about it. So I turn hastily back and jump out of the hole, go back into my kitchen and shut the door, and wouldn't you know it, they all come pouring out of the hillside, waving their little maces and running and shouting, and whatever. And pretty soon they are running amok all over the neighborhood. Kids are crying, dogs are barking, cars alarms are going off, neighbors are just losing their minds, as if they've never seen a hobgoblin warrior eat a cat before. Just bonkers. They're mostly all gone now, back into the hole I guess, and that's a relief, but what a mess. You think it's gross when you find some random dog poop on the grass, wait until you're trying to pick up after a passing goblin platoon. The strata was not going to be impressed if they had ever discovered my hole in the hillside, but now with all this, it's going to be baaaad...
