Profile
Typically small humanoids; specific traits are not detailed in this chapter.
Mentioned as the small green, red-eyed attackers who chased and injured Erin before she reached the inn.
A group of seven armed Goblins chases Erin from the orchard to the inn and invades through broken shutters. Despite numerical advantage, they are routed by Erin after several are injured; their tribe later regroups, hungry and humiliated, under their [Chieftain], who demands a [Shaman].
Referenced repeatedly as a local threat and in recollection of a prior fight; Erin assesses their habits (gathering blue fruit) and considers fortifying the inn against them.
A Goblin force attempts to ambush Erin. One scout successfully enters the inn but is quickly overwhelmed and ejected by Erin. The rest of the ambush party witnesses this failure and flees, showcasing their general cowardice. Their continued presence establishes them as a persistent, if not highly competent, threat.
Erin references goblins as prior attackers who left daggers, and the wall watch considers them a possible source of trouble.
Erin mentions being chased by Goblins, and the guardsmen confirm their existence. The possibility of Goblins occupying the inn was one of the reasons for the City Watch's investigation.
A band of six Goblins appears at the stream to collect water and forage. They find and steal Erin's basket of blue fruits. Unknowingly observed by Erin, they sort the poisonous fruits from the safe ones, teaching her how to survive her primary food source. Their complex behavior, including having skills and a social hierarchy, challenges Erin's perception of them as simple monsters.
Referenced as having influenced Erin’s method to identify safe Amentus Fruits.
Several Goblins are spotted following Erin from a distance as she walks from her inn to Liscor. They watch her but do not attack, and she throws a rock in their direction to scare them off.
A group of three Goblins attacks Erin on the road by throwing stones at her, trying to steal her food supplies. They are quickly chased away by Relc. Mentioned by Relc as pests and no threat to a leveled warrior. The tribe's culture and living conditions are described from the littlest Goblin's perspective. Referenced as the tribe, who are working 'mechanically, dully and silently' in the background while the Chieftain grieves.

“I don’t like Humans. They smell. You smell like garbage. Like rancid oil and flames and things that turn my stomach. And Goblins and dust and mold.”
“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?”
“Boo!”
“Huh. Can Goblins smell poison? Wait…wait. That Relc guy said they have Skills. Do you get Skills to tell if there’s bad fruits? [Bad Fruit Detector]? No way.”
