Listen up. You four have been given an incredibly important task today. You are guarding the treasure room in an abandoned fortress in the middle of the woods.
That’s not what’s important. What’s important is that the character sheets you have in front of you are not entirely correct. Understand that you are all Level One Goblins.
You are in charge of guarding this treasure. It doesn’t usually entail to much from you, which is why the four of you are usually on guard duty, because you’re level one. There’s not a lot you’re capable of.
People don’t usually make it to this part. You can sometimes hear distant sounds of battle, perhaps occaisionally. They really stack the front of this fortress with the good fighters, you know? Usually they’re taking care of everything, so there’s not a lot of action that’s happening in here.
However, today. It seems like there’s something in the air that might just be a little bit different. You can smell it, maybe. Sure enough, before too long, right after your pathetic breakfast of sticks, one of the scouts (named Sk’lorvik) from the front of the castle comes rushing into this treasure room.
“There’s an adventurer at the gates! He’s not like the other ones, he’s huge! And the sword, it’s as big as me! I’m sure the guards out front will take care of it, but I just thought you should know. Okay, I’m going back to my post now.”
Just after Sk’lorvik leaves, a giant bugbear comes charging in after him, “Listen, I know Sk’lorvik came in here and scared the bloody daylights outta you four, but you know you’re my favorite. You know this is why I put you here. To keep you safe.”
Pepper:“I thought you put us here because we’re the final bosses. We’re the four most powerful warriors in this entire fortress.”
