Chapter 1.14
The Goblin Chieftain breaks into The Wandering Inn and brutally attacks Erin Solstice. In a desperate fight for her life, Erin uses a pot of boiling oil to kill the chieftain, sustaining life-threatening injuries in the process. Immediately following the battle, she levels up her [Innkeeper] class and gains two new skills.
The chapter opens with the Goblin Chieftain breaking down the front door of The Wandering Inn, initiating a direct confrontation with Erin Solstice. Erin attempts to de-escalate the situation, but the chieftain attacks her without hesitation, beginning a brutal, one-sided fight inside the inn's common room.
The chieftain, being far stronger, quickly overwhelms Erin. She defends herself with a kitchen knife, but her efforts are futile. The chieftain smashes furniture and relentlessly pursues her, eventually stabbing her in the stomach and leaving her gravely wounded on the floor.
As a final, desperate act, Erin grabs a pot of boiling oil she had placed on the fire in preparation for an attack. Despite the intense pain of her hands burning on the hot metal, she hurls the contents at the Goblin Chieftain. The oil strikes him directly in the face, causing horrific burns.
The chieftain, blinded and screaming in agony, collapses. He dies a slow, agonizing death on the kitchen floor while Erin lies nearby, bleeding from her stab wound and nursing her severely burned hands. Amidst the wreckage of her inn, a notification appears, informing her that she has reached Level 8 in the [Innkeeper] class and gained two new skills: [Bar Fighting] and [Unerring Throw].
