I Only Killed One

Say what you will about goblins, they make use of their local resources. Their first line of defense was up in the trees, complete with wooden walls to hide behind.

"I only need as much of your land as to pass through, and only for so long as it takes for me to do so." I shouted out in goblin.

"Your request is denied. Go the fuck around!" a goblin shouted back.

You know what? I didn't need this hassle. I'd come here, and decided that the goblins didn't need my help.

I went around clockwise, looking for the first signs of the spiritual and fay section of the wood. There was none, not any more. A squadron of goblins shadowed me, willingly crossing even into the blackwood. <1>
