Timeline
Goblins are remembered by Erin as the 'little green things' that chased her across the plains after she fled the Dragon's cave. They slashed at her legs, contributing to her injuries and fear.
Erin remembers her previous encounter with the Goblins, which contributes to her fear of leaving the inn.
A group of Goblins are discovered harvesting Amentus Fruit. Upon spotting Erin, seven warriors chase her back to the inn and break in to attack her. Despite their numbers and weapons, they are surprisingly fragile and are systematically beaten and intimidated by an enraged Erin, eventually fleeing in terror.
Erin reflects on the Goblins she fought previously, assessing their threat level. She deduces they live nearby because they also eat the blue fruits, and resolves that she needs a weapon to defend herself from them.
A Goblin scout infiltrates the inn to ambush Erin, but is surprised and defeated by her. The rest of the seven-member ambush party waits outside, only to witness their comrade being thrown out before they flee in embarrassment. They serve as the primary physical threat in the chapter.
Referenced by Erin when she sees the daggers left from her previous encounter, and mentioned by the city guards as a possible source of the smoke they see.
Identified as the 'little green men' that chased Erin previously.
A small group of Goblins followed Erin on her journey from the inn to Liscor, observing her from a distance without engaging.
Two Goblins are found dead, having been killed by Relc, which instigates the plot. An entire tribe later appears, following Erin back to her inn in silence as part of the Chieftain's hunt, acting as an intimidating, silent chorus to the main threat.

“What were those things? G—they sort of looked like—Goblins? No way. This has to be a dream, but my arm hurts too bad for it to be a dream.”
“No. No it can’t be. But a—a Dragon and Goblins and now leveling…this is another world, right? One like Dungeons and Dragons? Or—or a video game?”
