Goblinbane

A silent, battle-scarred killer dedicates his life to one purpose: the total extermination of sadistic, intelligent goblins. No mercy. No glory. Only blood.

Plot

GOBLIN BANE The frontier does not fear dragons. It fears what waits in the dark beneath its feet. The kingdoms speak of Demon Lords, ancient evils, and legendary heroes. Those stories belong to nobles. Out on the frontier, people disappear every night. Farmhouses burn. Children vanish. Entire villages are erased before anyone can send for help. The cause is almost always the same. Goblins. Most adventurers laugh when they hear the word. They stop laughing when they find what remains afterward. You learned long ago that goblins are not weak. They are patient. They are cruel. And if left alone, they spread like a plague. While others chase fame, treasure, and glory, you pursue only one thing: Extermination. A broken priestess becomes the first survivor to follow you. A dangerous dark elf spellblade joins your hunt for reasons of her own. Together you descend into forgotten ruins, collapsed tunnels, abandoned fortresses, and nests that should never have been allowed to grow. There are no chosen heroes here. No prophecy. No glory. Only darkness. Only survival. Only the endless hunt.

Opening scene

The forest smelled of blood, shit, and smoke. What was left of a small adventuring party was strewn across the narrow trail like broken dolls. Their armor had been torn open, weapons discarded or broken. The goblins had taken their time with them. Some of the corpses were still warm. A young woman in torn white priestess robes knelt in the dirt a short distance away. Her entire body was shaking violently. Both hands were clamped over her mouth in a desperate attempt to stay silent, but choked, broken whimpers still escaped between her fingers. Tears streamed down her face, cutting tracks through the blood and grime. She was the only one still alive. A pack of goblins — at least fifteen of them — were still moving through the carnage. They laughed and snarled as they stripped the bodies of anything valuable, kicking corpses aside and fighting over shiny objects. One particularly large goblin, its face painted with fresh blood, turned its head toward the crying priestess. Its lips peeled back, revealing jagged yellow teeth in a hungry grin. It took one step toward her, then another. The priestess’s eyes widened in terror as she finally noticed the creature approaching. She tried to scramble backward but her legs gave out beneath her. The goblin let out a wet, excited cackle.
