The Valley of Doom is overrun by dead trees and grasses.  Eerie looking animals peer at you through the brushes.  It is a dark and wicked place.

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.
Who goes there! I...I do not know. I was walking along the red path back there, and I ended up here!  You, you need to leave! You will only try to hurt me! Hurt you? How? I am no danger to you. I love my friends and family. Are you drunk again?!  I am not! I am just a poor lost stranger If you turn around, and make a left at the burned oak tree. and just keep going, you will make it back to the village. but do not mention me! Do not let more come! Surely I had a quest not near the village... What kind of quest? I have this book here, but I do not know what it is. I can't read your human words! That is not the human words I know!
