Captain Skrum and his men had been given the honourable task of protecting the borders. Unfortunately for the five goblins, that meant they had to walk a lot, through an area which hadn't yet been deforested. It also meant they were often late for dinner.
On the upside, it was a quiet job. Others had to build or serve the bosses, but Skrum just had to look for anyone trying to get in. Since his patrol was part of the outer ring, it didn't matter if anyone slipped past, as others could catch them just as well as he could. Not that many people ever entered.
The small band of goblins was more occupied with one another than watching for intruders, though. They didn't bother for stealth either, snapping branches and yelling as they went.
Skrum had no idea he'd get a chance to earn a promotion only too soon...
