A crumbling hole gapes in the side of the stone, surrounded by rotted wood timbers. A few rusted pieces of block and tackle lay half-buried in scraggly grass. A strange sort of humming noise emanates from within.
Abandoned Mine, Mountain
kid
goblin
The goblin lives deep inside of caves far away from the sunlight. The goblin lives on deep cave algae and small critters and bugs that he can catch on the cave floor. The goblin avoids people as much as he can to stay alive.
Gah, a human!  S-spare me, fearsome beast, I wasn't doin' nothing! W-wait a minute! You're afraid of me, too? What a silly situation! Y-you mean... you weren't gonna eat me? Blech! Eat a goblin? But you are all slimy, and stinky, and disgusting. No offense. Me mum always told me if I didn't get ta the cave in time fer scrounging practice that a human child would slay me and eat me.  What do you be eatin', if not our tasty gobliny fleshies? I eat oysters, and lobster, and sometimes I find some old tins of processed cheese in this here mine. But what do you eat? Ew, your skin is so dry and crinkly... but I guess yer alright.  Why, I be eatin' tasty bugs and other crawlies.  The more legs, tha better! That's so gross! Do you live down here? It's so dark, I can barely see anything. This tasties crawlies be gross; strange creature, this.  Oh, er, I actually was just investigatin' this here place.  It has some sorta strange hummin' noise - do ya hear it? Hmm... I do. It sounds sort of like a grass flute I once heard. Suspicious! I thought maybe there be some sort o... magic music box... although it might be sommat that be eatin' creatures like you n me too.  Here, lets look fer sommat ta protect ourselves, just ta be safesies. Gimme that! I'm just a kid. I need protecting more than you!
