Goblins of the Ring

The goblins are, indeed, blue. At least, their faces are painted with the extract of a lichen plant in the cave. They also have tattoos on their foreheads with the same design as the ring their shaman wears (give the players Player Handout 6 when they see this design). These goblins are stupefyingly cowardly. They have not even dared to raid farmsteads, though they have made off with the odd lamb now and again by furtively prowling around the very edges of farmland at night. They eat anything they can get: lambs, rabbits, rats, carrion, turnips, moss, grass, mold-anything.
