End of the First Goblin War

Military action

Hobgoblins break up into roving bands with no ability to establish permanency anywhere.

The hobgoblins flee the tunnels in a breakout action and scatter into the wilderness, forming roving but manageable tribes. The humans decide that the Goblin Wars are officially over and begin to view the goblin warbands as more of a natural disaster and pest akin to locusts than a real threat.
