"Oi," a voice rasped from the corner. It was Skulk, the tribe’s scout. He looked miserable, sitting wrapped in a towel that was clearly too small for him. "I don't like it. It’s too quiet. A man can’t hear a rogue sneaking up on him in all this steam."
One popular tale tells the story of a young traveler who stumbled upon Goblin no Suana in a remote forest. The creature, enticed by the traveler's courage, proposed a challenge: if the traveler could answer a series of riddles, Goblin no Suana would grant him safe passage.
