Rift area: Forests of Delru, Overrun Elven outpost
Current monsters: Goblin horde, wolves, hobgoblin
Difficulty rank: Average
Objective: Eliminate the invading goblin tribes by killing Goblin Shaman "Snagglegrim". Currently located in the upper canopy lookout. 


Rain fell hard everywhere it breached the thick tree canopy, an endless cascade of water obscuring vision even further in the thick darkness of the abandoned forest. The current rift was about an outpost that had been taken over by goblin tribes after the elves were forced to abandon it in the coming of the Orc lords. Their numbers too spread out in the warfront, the elves had agreed to give human mercenaries at the time carry out their own attempts to recover the lost lands in return for keeping whatever they found intact. 

Goblins roamed the outer grounds in groups of 3 and 4, all had stolen elven weaponry in hand with makeshift armor covering their chests. Crude but effective, the little creatures had the intelligence of a small child but made up for it with ferocity and quite an alarming amount of cleverness for such a pitiful race. It was speculated by the advanced scouts that had met up with the two lone mercs that the shaman in control of the many tribes was holding onto their fragile alliances with a weak grip. 
If it died, the tribes would slaughter each other to extinction until a new leader was found. That was the only reason goblins had never taken over anything for long. 

A back entrance had been utilized, placing the duo in the armory located at the center of the living but now desecrated tree. A total of sixteen goblin guards had been executed within the armory and their bodies hidden back in the tunnels so as not to arouse suspicion. The bulk of the goblin tribes camped at the lower levels, so it was only a few handfuls of the runty creatures left. The most loyal to the Goblin shaman.
Directly outside the armory was a small escort of goblins armed with torches and swords. Following the outer route of bridges and walkways would mean conflict at every step. If they found the staircase amid the many rooms and barracks located on the upper levels, they would encounter the sleeping goblins easy pickings but could risk being discovered and summarily overrun.
