[hr]

Skubli quietly observed the other goblins conversing, shrinking back under his mantle, leaving just enough of his head poking out to see and hear them clearly. 

A comment about Skubli needing food perked up his ears, however it was merely a comment that led him to cower back under his mantle. 

Soon, brothers Lomen and Zectoll departed to perform a, "Mock Hunt", an idea that intrigued Skubli, however any hunt that didn't result in food or weapons seemed fruitless to the little runt.

A low roar echoed throughout the cave, causing Skubli to take to his feet and scurry away, hiding in the second compartment of the alcove he possessed until his heart rate slowed and he realized it was merely the "Mock Hunt" taking place. 

Before Skubli could restore the confidence to venture back outside, the odd rocks doting the walls caught his attention. They ranged from steel gray to burnt orange, mixing in a variety of browns and black to give them an odd appearance. 

Skubli slowly clawed at one of the isolated patches, eventually pulling loose a rock. Sniffing the odd substance, the tiny goblin discovered that it had an odd scent he couldn't place.

Pocketing the strange ore, Skubli began working at slowly the other rocks, excavating the area around them to slowly remove them from the walls.
