Skrum was just yelling at his second in command when he heard Corporal Billy scream something. The other two patrolmembers were already rolling on the ground, laughing and taunting Billy. Appearantly he'd walked straight into a tree or something.
It took about two minutes for the Captain to restore some order. Just as they walked off again, Skrum heard the unnerving sound of someone clearing his throat.
Looking back, he could see an elf standing, arms folded, watching them. Even more unnerving, he was standing right where the tree had been moments before!
The intruder just stood there, waiting for the goblins to move.
Billy offered it might be a trap, but Captain Skrum would have none of it. He drew his sword and stepped closer to the elf, to which the creature raised his arms in surrender.
"Or," Skrum figured, "he could be preparing to cast a spell!"
Selfpreservation high on his list of priorities, he ordered the other goblins to attack.
