The shadow flees and you resist the urge to follow

The shadow heads back into the forest, you begin to move after it but steady yourself. You are not some foolish hero ready to chase unknown entities into obvious traps in the hope for adventure and loot. You are Skeletor, a being with a destiny who creates the traps for heroes not fall into them! As you look for your Elven and goblin followers you can't shake the feeling that there was something familiar about the shadow that had been observing you.

You eventually find one of your goblins cowering in terror from you as its mind struggles to contain its fear as having your full attention. After a couple of slaps to focus its attention you are able to direct it to help you find your other troops. Soon your goblin and elf **** is unified but a headcount reveals some of the goblins have slipped away from your grip despite the example you made earlier, these particular ones seem to have been too dumb to obey you despite your threats. Unable to contain your anger you lash out with your fists to punish Gro'muzza for not stopping his fellow goblins from escaping, you find the **** cathartic and calm yourself as your appointed leader staggers to his feet. You thank the remaining goblins for their loyalty and remind them of the rewards of service and punishment for disloyalty or failure.

The rest of the journey through the forest is uneventful with only a minor skirmish with some giant spiders who are quickly dealt with to further distract you. At one point you glimpse a spriggan but it disappears into the trees when it realises its been seen. Soon you find yourself outside the goblins warrens where things seem too quiet since there are no guards posted outside.

You have Gro'muzza loudly shout at the warrens to announce your presence as he holds up the heads of the tribes former chieftain and shaman but there is no reaction from the direction of the system of underground tunnels which goblins call home.
