You stop abruptly. Your senses, honed by practice, tell you there's a trap… Something's wrong…
After concentrating for a brief moment, you manage to hear the goblins' raucous, cloaked laughter, waiting for you a little further on. If you have companions, you discreetly signal them to continue slowly, casually, then disappear into the shadows between the rocks lining the path.
A little further on, hidden behind stones forming ancient walls and thorny bushes gnawing at the path, a group of six goblins waits, anticipating your arrival to launch a surprise attack. Taken by surprise themselves when you suddenly appear behind them, they offer only a disorganized and panicked resistance. You eliminate them without difficulty, down to the last one.
