Bab 55: Did You Drug Them?

On a gray mud stump, a Houndhead Man looked around warily as his nose sniffed about. In the Labyrinth-like Spiders' Lair, the smell of Goblins pervaded the air, and the Houndhead Man felt uneasy.

Ten days prior, a group of Goblins appeared in the normally peaceful Spiders' Lair. Initially, these Goblins were food for the Spiders, and they came in mad hordes.

The Houndhead Men Tribe benefited from the extra food source, though not for long. The predator and prey switched roles within a few days. The Spiders faced extinction as their numbers dwindled, and the Goblins ventured deeper into the Spiders' Lair and disrupted the Houndhead Men's lives.

The most important thing was that the Houndhead Men didn't have enough food!

The young Houndhead Man didn't know anything after that. He only knew that the leader left, the Elder left, and the strong warriors left and that they never came back.

He had to hunt for food, and his prey was the Goblins!
