Walking through the forest, you come across a small clearing with a fallen log that looks somewhat comfortable to sleep on. There are also some mushrooms growing nearby, which could be useful for restoring your health or magic later on. In the distance, you can hear the faint sounds of goblins chattering and laughing as they continue their nightly activities in the darkness

"Looks like a nice place to catch some z's," comments an elderly-looking wizard who happens to be passing by.

You take a seat on the log and lean back against a tree, watching as the wizard approaches. He's dressed in robes that appear to be made of various feathers and furs, with a long white beard flowing down his chest. His staff is adorned with crystals and appears to glow faintly with magic energy

"Ah," he says, taking a seat next to you, "I see you've found yourself in a bit of a predicament.

You manage to dodge the goblin's thrust, feeling its claws graze your side instead. Pain shoots through you as it yelps in frustration and tries again, this time missing entirely. Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, you launch another Flame Bolt at two more torches nearby. The sudden burst of light and heat stuns the goblins once more, giving you precious seconds to escape their grasp.

The exit is just barely visible through the flickering light of the torches - a small opening in the darkness that seems to lead outside. As you make your way towards it, you hear the shrieks and growls of goblins drawing nearer, their pursuit relentless despite your best efforts so far.

Suddenly, a massive figure looms out of the shadows, casting an ominous silhouette against the cave wall. It is the Gigantic Goblin King himself!

You decide to take a rest and recover some mana before deciding on what course of action to take next.

As you rest and recover your mana, you realize that the goblins might not be as foolish as they seem. Traveling at night would indeed give them a better chance of surprise, but it also makes it harder for you to track their movements. You'll have to use your wits and whatever resources are available to you if you hope to stop these raids before innocent villagers suffer any more.

You continue to fight against the goblins, using your strength and agility to defend yourself while striking back at them with deadly precision. The battle rages on for several minutes before finally subsiding as the last of the goblins falls beneath your blade. Panting heavily from exertion, you take a moment to catch your breath and survey the carnage around you.

The bodies of the slain goblins litter the cave floor, their twisted forms a testament to the brutality of your attack.

Taking advantage of the momentary silence, you quickly search through the bodies of the goblins, looking for anything useful. Your efforts are rewarded when you find a small pouch on one of them, containing several coins and some scraps of food. Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be anything else of interest here.

With your prize secured, you decide it's time to leave this accursed cave behind. You carefully pick your way through the rubble and debris until you find the exit leading back out into the forest.
