When last we left our goblins, Estic, the hobgoblin fighter, Anura the Goblin Druid,

Ripper, the Hobgoblin Cleric, and Shrike, the Goblin Wizard.

They had collectively received a letter from none other than The Stranger,

who invited them to a sidery known as Green Gage, where they met with the interdimensional criminal

to discuss perhaps cutting a deal.

However, Ripper, thinking quickly,

managed to sneak up on the stranger

and clasp the dimensional shackles on him.

Grilling the stranger to confirm

that the goblins had not been followed,

he didn't seem to know of anyone who followed him.

And after messaging Omead, Estek was affected by the Geshe spell, cast by Shameshka.

The stranger cast a time-stopping spell amid all the chaos and disappeared, apparently

having relocated the group of goblins to the front of a stand called Fell's tattoos.

With a crystal keystone at their feet,

and more questions than answers,

how will the goblins finish their mission tonight

on Gobtober, Strange Bedfellows?

Did we determine an order in which everybody kind of came back to reality?

Or is it just sort of all at once?

It would have happened simultaneously.

Okay.
