MORN¬ ING!
YOU FIX BP THE
PENCE?
UNCLE SH0ULP BE UP SOON.
LET'S HME BREAKFAST!
ALL RkrHT.
I'LL HAVE IT REAP/
IN A JIFF//
oh, UNCLE, YOU'RE SUCH A
MOTHER HEN.
I'LL BE PINE.
I'VE OOT SOME DELIVERIES
TO MAKE AT THE OUILP.
FINE.
THE UNPRAYING —
DRAGONS, DEMONS... GIANT EYES WITH THEIR
UNHALLOWED NAMES,
BANDS OF HEARTLESS BRIGANDS...
WHEN MONSTERS
ATTACK A VILLAGE OR
THE LIKE, THE VICTIMS COME SEEKING AID, AND IT IS THE JOB OF THE
ADVENTURERS TO HELP
THEM.
THERE ARE CASES
WHERE THAT HAS HAPPENED
SIR.
IS IT TRUE THE GUBBINS STEAL A G\RL
SOMETIMES
KNOW HER
SO IT'S THE FRESH FACES
WHO GO IN. AND THEY'LL SLAY THE GOBLINS. BUT THEY'LL
BE INJURED OR KILLED IN THE
PROCESS.
Hutvwrv
CHILDREN. YOU MIGHT
THINK NUMBERS
WERE THEIR ONLY
ADVANTAGE.
SMARTER, AND STRONGER, AND QUICKER THAN
WE USUALLY GIVE THEM
CREDIT FOR. SO ARE GOBLINS.
BECAUSE THE PAY FOR
GOBLIN QUESTS IS SO POOR,
EXPERIENCED ADVENTURERS SEE THEM AS
MORE TROUBLE THAN THEY'RE
WORTH.
THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE MORE G08LINS.
THAT'S THE
THIRP GOB UN QUEST
TOO AY...
THE JOB GETS PONE ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER...
SO THE STATE
/ POES NOTHING.
IF THE FIRST
PARTY GETS WIPED, THE
SECOND OR THIRD
WILL COME THROUGH.
/ LET PEOPLE / PO THAT ONCE
OR TWICE, ANP THEY OET THE
IPEA THAT THEY \ SHOULP BECOME \ APVENTURERS. !
BUT WHAT THAT
USUALLY MEANS IS
THEY SMOKEP THE COBS OUT ANP
SENT THEM FLEEINO.
HE'LL SAY, "I PROVE OFF A
OOBLIN ONCE.
THE OOBLIN, ON THE OTHER HANP, LEARNS
ANP OROWS FROM THE ENCOUNTER. XT IS KNOWN AS A "WANPERER."
WANPERERS OFTEN JOIN
OTHER NESTS AS
CHIEFTAINS OR
OUARPS.
/-/ THINK DESTROYING THE WHOLE
CAVE WITH THAT FIRE MIXTURE
WAS TOO... TOO MUCH!
ZI&C, Avtf-
cxftt-
HE SAID HE'D BEEN
PARTIED WITH A NOVICE
ADVENTURER RECENTLY...
...BUT HE NEVER
MENTIONED A GIRL!
THEY WON'T DO SERIOUS
HARM ANY TIME
SOON.
THAT'S NOT THE WORK
OF A HORDE. THERE CAN'T
BE MORE THAN TWO OR THREE COB LINS THERE.
XT
SAYS SOME 6O0UNS
WERE SEEN CARRYING
OFF CHICKENS AROUNP
DAWN.
...I DON'T
REALLY RECALL MUCH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOM AND DAD.
ONLY THAT THE GOBLINS CAME...
BURYING EMPTY
CASKETS, THE
PRIEST SAYING
PRAYERS
