Happy that you didn't try to take their stuff, Kettlehead and his two minions quickly run off
You four continue on your way to the Cave of Darkfear to present your toads to the dread spirit who lurks within, as commanded by whelp-wrangler Loptop so that you can stop being whelps and be real goblins. She also told you not to die, that was very important.
In the shade of the grey cypress trunks, a sagging human-made cave squats on the muddy ground, overgrown with swamp brambles and leaning precariously to one side.
You enter the dark interior of the cave and see that it contains leaning and partially collapsed shelves, heaps of shattered pottery, a junk-strewn table, and rusting animal traps.
A partially mummified but mostly skeletal corpse slumps against one wall with a broken-off cobweb-strewn horsechopper jutting from its chest.
This must be the Spirit of Darkfear. Time to present your toads and sing your personal song to let it know who you are and that you deserve to be a Licktoad. Failure means never being able to join the tribe.
