The altar of chaos
[You have found a temporary dungeon: goblin's lair] (Grade B)
[This net is the goblin's burrow in this area, here they keep all their treasures and it is also very well protected]
[Reward: The cave, unknown treasure, luck and charm +1]
[Penalty: Being devoured by a giant worm]
[Time: 10 hours]
This degree of difficulty is high, we run danger inside. And apparently the system does not know what's inside either. Things get complicated, but I do not want to be devoured.
The first thing is to prepare, we cannot enter all. There must be someone taking care of the wagon and the horses. The best option is to enter the wolf-skin as they use shield, and the dwarves will stay outside.
All the girls wanted to go, but I do not think it's convenient either. I asked Anila to take care of the entrance, so we'll go with Vana and Lara.
Vana has good damage and Lara is an explorer.
Although Anila did not like my decision, she stayed on guard with the dwarves.
We carry 4 torches, 3 ropes, water and food. Then the formation will be the following one: the gentlemen ahead, behind this Vana and I and finally Lara of support and exploration. With everything ready we entered the dungeon.
I was a little excited about the booty when I entered, but the foul smell that came out of the tunnel hit my nose. So we came back and wet some bandages with water to fight the smell.
Walking through the tunnel, this was small since it was 2 meters high and approximately wide. After some distance we found remains of mining equipment, which was broken and rusty.
This was an abandoned mine, had pillars and torches without lighting every certain distance, we also found traps but these were easy to see. They should be more concerned about animals entering.
The entrance is very well hidden, that's why they have been entrusted. After 20 minutes we arrived at a kind of immense natural cave; with its 10 meters high, and 300 meters in circumference. You can easily make a hidden base here, if it were not for the stinky smell of goblins.
We entered carefully checking the cave, and to one side we saw a village attempt. There were about 40 huts together and some more separated. Approaching us we recognized many old elves and children.
Everything was dimly illuminated by the torches of the village so we turned our lights off so as not to attract attention. Slowly and without making a loop, we approach the village. I asked Lara to explore for dangers and we waited at a safe distance.
When Lara returned she told us that there were not many capable of fighting. We'll start the attack from the side, and try to kill everyone stealthily. He was about to kill the first one and examine it with the system.
-------------------------------------
Goblin warrior
Attack 8-12 Defense 3
--------------------------------------
This goblin is very weak; the warrior elves of yesterday were stronger. After examining it, I kill it and look for my next objective.
We move carefully after finishing with the warriors from the outside. We enter the village and check the first hut. But I was very horrified by what I saw.
Inside there were two goblins in the center eating a mound of human parts, arms and legs were scattered on the floor. There was also an old goblin that abused two human girls tied to the wall.
This was the first time I've seen the terrifying one, it reminded me that this world is very dangerous and if I'm not careful I might be the next to be eaten.
Now I am very determined not to hesitate to kill all the goblins, without forgiving any life.
Assault the hut with Lara, and kill the goblins without much effort. But when I approached the girls, they were dead. I could not understand the level of depravity of these savages.
Without being able to calm down together with the boys we assaulted all the huts until we reached a visibly larger one in the center of the village. When I went to check, I saw something running towards me and examining it with the system.
------------------
Goblin Lord
Attack 23-29 Defense 15
------------------
I avoided his first punch but he attacked me with his other arm, I felt the impact in the chest and I recoiled by the force of the blow. I was disoriented, and I could not move. I could only see the boys appear at my sides and go on the offensive to get their attention.
This guy is very strong. He was able to stop Vana's hammer blow with his hand and hurt the shields of the wolf-skin with his kicks. Even the Lara attack on his neck broke one of his daggers.
We will not win fighting like that. Even though I felt weak, I could move. I got up and first told Lara to attack weak spots like her eyes and ears. Then he shouted to Vana to point to his feet or knees and to the boys who held on with their shields; I also picked up my swords to attack from one side, pointing to his ribs and butt.
We had a difficult fight and we were running out of strength. But thanks to Lara, who stuck her dagger in one eye, Vana could destroy one of her knees. Seeing the goblin wobble, take advantage and stab him in the ribs. Although I try to get up and attack again, with another round of our blows we finish him off. Watching him stop moving, this has been my toughest fight so far.
This guy was very big, taller than Anila by a head and had a muscular body.
Our fight had caught the attention of the goblins and we were quickly surrounded. Fighting little time and we finish with all.
After finishing the battle, we ate and rested a little. The task was not finished yet, we had to finish everyone in the cave. I had not seen my attributes since the fight yesterday and I'm full of curiosity.

Strength: 19 Stamina: 18

Luck: 6
--------------------
I become stronger with each battle, but I am still weaker than that dead lord goblin.
We went through all the remaining huts and ended up with some hidden goblins, but still needed more. I asked Lara to search the entire cave but she found no other way out and no goblins. Not knowing what to do and ask the guys.
Wolf-skin 1: "Master. I think that more children are missing here, the elves reproduce quickly and we have not seen any single baby. "
Wolf-skin 2: "Master, the goblins are reputed to hide their babies, in case they all die, they can continue to exist, and they are a plague."
"Maybe they're right. All the women we have met were dead, and almost no elf was a woman. They have to have a hiding place. We will search each hut in detail. "
We started our search with the biggest hut.
The first thing I saw upon entering was the large fur bed on the floor. Then to the side of the hut boxes, trunks and chests stacked in a corner; and on the other side a small mound of weapons and armor.
We walk through the place without finding signs of life. When I approach the leather bed, I feel a small cry below.
Warning everyone take out my swords, and slowly lift the leather. To my surprise there was no one hiding there but again I heard the little scream. I knew there was something hidden here. I started to disarm the bed and found a hole under it.
Enter with a torch in my hand and after a few meters of passageway, we reach another natural cave.
When we enter the new cave; we found many girls tied to the side, all of them with empty eyes. Some were pregnant and others had given birth, and next to them were many baby goblins full of blood crawling on the ground. There were hundreds of baby goblins, a complete abomination.
Anger invaded my mind and I began to decapitate each of the born goblens. I only saw heads flying and blood splashing for minutes, until there were none left. When I stopped, I saw the guys full of blood too. We had massacred everyone.
I approached the girls tied up but when they saw me they started asking me to kill them. Each one of them who could talk said the same thing.
With much grief and hesitation, I felt it was the best for them. Nobody could erase the mistreatment they must have felt and in a few minutes cut their necks at all. When I finished I began to inspect the cave while resting.
There was a mound of various coins beside the dead women. A small cell where 8 women tied ups. Near the cell there were also many picks and shovels and another small passage, apparently these goblins have been digging and we still have to discover more.
I asked the two boys to put their bodies aside; we're going to burn them out of here. While with Vana and Lara we went to rescue the women.
They were very weak. We cut the strings and fed them. When I try to ask you some questions they fainted, you must be very happy to be safe now.
How could we not do much for them? We leave them inside the cell for now. When we returned with the boys, it was not over yet, I let them continue and I just went ahead with the two girls to the new tunnel.
This tunnel was short, only a few meters deep. When we reach the end we find a horrendous altar; It was made of bones and skulls all bathed in blood. Above the altar was a shabby idol of a huge goblin surrounded by several hearts. At his feet there were 8 baby goblins sleeping peacefully, and around the altar there were some offerings of silver coins, accessories and gems.
When I approached the altar, the system helped me to know what it was.
--------------------------------
[You have discovered the altar of Chaos]
[An altar made in devotion to the demigods of chaos. It is made with parts of different beings, demonstrating their depravity and devotion to destruction]
[Your endurance attribute decreases by one point]
-----------------------------
I was intrigued by this altar and I also wanted to destroy it. With how much it costs me to earn my attributes, it only appears suddenly and takes away one. Damn the demigods of chaos.
I did not want to get closer, but I wanted to destroy this altar. When you arrive in front of the idol, before touching it, examine it as a precaution.
---------------------
Shabby graven image of the goblin god Goro (red)
This is piece of shabby art full of energy of chaos in devotion to the god of goblins Goro.
Effect: Unknown
---------------------
This garbage is a goblin god. I picked it up very carefully and wrapped it in a piece of cloth to keep it. It's an epic grade item; I cannot leave it here. I'll find out what to do with this in the city.
After picking it up, I started desecrating this altar. Save 562 silver coins, 6 gold rings, 2 gold necklaces and 3 gems.
After looting, I was about to kill the baby goblins but these seemed different from those outside. Out of curiosity I inspect them with the system.
------------------
Hobgoblin baby
Blessing of the god Goro
------------------
It is the first time I see a blessing from a god. They must have some benefits.
"Girls, do you know anything about hobgoblins?"
Vana: "The Hobgoblins are a superior species to the goblin but more intelligence are similar to humans."
Lara: "I do not know, Master"
"I think it's a waste to kill them, since they have a blessing with them."
Vana: "These babies are blessed? Master, getting a blessing is extremely difficult. Think about it well, even if everyone asks for it, only a few are the lucky ones. "
After listening to your answers, I think it would be convenient to keep them. They could be of help in the future. Joining all the hobgoblins I started making the contract with the babies and I had to cut off their hands to get their blood.
[You have obtained 8 slaves (hobgoblin)]
[You have exterminated a Goblins nest]
[You have won fame 25]
[You have won 20 Soul Points]
Now that everything was ready. I wrapped them in a blanket to carry them.
Before leaving I saw Vana behind the altar and I approached her, but I saw her hit the wall with her hammer, turned around and said something surprising.
