[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 5472955, member: 26473"] The adventurers come upon a large wagon on the side of the road; in the back of the wagon is a large iron cage, strongly built. The cage door is open, and hangs on one bent hinge. Nearby lie two men, their bodies horribly rent by claws and teeth. At the front of the wagon lie the traces of the horse or mule which once pulled it, but there is no sign of any livestock; there is, however, a blood trail leading away from the wagon into the nearby woods, along with large clawed footprints . . . Marching down the road is a regiment of hobgoblins, easily two hundred or more, accompanied by goblin skirmishers. The skimishers spot the adventurers and commands are relayed; the goblins, with a couple of hobgoblin commanders, deploy in a skirmish line as the rest of the formation executes a wheel-right and moves off the road. As the last of the formation disappears over a rise, the goblins, yelling imprecations in their guttural tongue, form a rear guard and withdraw as well . . . I used something like this in [i]Boot Hill[/i], the wreckage of a Spanish caravel in the middle of the desert. [/QUOTE]
