Each goblin carries a club, a dagger or a short spear. The weapon is for show: every goblin hits for 4 to 8.

Behaviour

• Aggressive. A goblin attacks the nearest player it can see within 20 metres, on the same level.
• Camp-mates help. When a goblin picks a fight, up to four idle goblins from the same camp within 14 metres join in.
• Holds a grudge. It turns on any player who hurt it in the last 20 seconds, within 24 metres.
• Gives up. It stops chasing after 25 seconds without gaining ground, or once you’re more than 36 metres away.
• Leashed. If it’s drawn too far from its camp, it drops the fight, walks home and stays calm for 10 seconds.
• Runs when losing. Below 8 hits, it may run, especially if you have more hits than it does. It keeps running until it’s back to half health or you’re far away.

What a goblin leaves

• 30 to 75 gold.
• A 30% chance of its weapon.

Goblins can’t be skinned. The corpse lasts 4 minutes.
