Long shadows stretch across the path, like claws reaching out to grab you. They seem to lengthen as you approach. Suddenly there is a wild jabbering from the trees around you. Dark shapes flit from branch to branch above your head.

You may Sneak this encounter.

Like a flash the goblins are upon you, tearing at your knapsack. They aren’t strong, but they’re determined and there are lots of them! Make an Opposed Test of Courage against the goblins (Courage 4). If you are unsuccessful they steal one item at random from your knapsack, remove it. If you are successful you manage to drive them away this time. Leave their miniature on the tile. They will attack again any time you pass through this tile. If you have no items for them to steal instead reduce your Endurance by 1 if you are unsuccessful.
