Tim, and the guard patrolled the area where the dead bugs were. They were yet to receive help from other goblins, and that wasn't too surprising, because the closest ones were supposedly a whole kilometer away! It was going to take a while for them to get here, if they saw the signal to begin with, that is.
The guard started second guessing if anyone saw the first signal, so he unleashed a new one every five minutes. That way, someone was bound to see the signal eventually!
Anyway, it took little time for things to become boring here. Personal safety was a luxury that every creature longed for, but factually, the sense of safety left a lot of room for boredom. Since Timothy was especially prone to boredom, he ended up doing something stupid. He stuck his head in one of the tunnels where the Demon Beetles had crawled out of!
