A darkened cave

My eyes opened to darkness, though it quickly resolved into a greyed vision of a cave. Darkness seems to have little impact on me. Looking around I could see a number of other goblins milling about the space, chittering softly in goblins, muttering about food. On the cliffs above, I could see the higher ranked members of the tribe, those who had acquired proper weapons rather than the rocks and daggers we had and actual armor.

Suddenly, a series of chimes went off. Memories came to me, this was the alert that someone had entered our cave system. Scrambling for the entrance, my fellow runts and I started running towards the upper caverns, the warriors following behind more sedately. They would use us as fodder to soften up and distract the intruders while they went in for the kill.

Reaching the top level, we could hear the sounds of a number of intruders. This was no adventuring party, but a full on raid. Scattering into the various chambers and up onto the sides surrounding it, I soon found myself with a handful of runts and two warriors; Glurk and Glark. There was light coming from the entrance below as figures started to enter the cavern led by a female in a steel breastplate with white and red robes and a thin rapier.

“Remember, this is from the archbishop herself, we cannot fail.”

“Yes ma’am. For the Light!”

Soon sounds of combat could be heard ringing through the caverns as Glurk signaled for us to begin our attack.
