From the introduction: A goblin shaman, Worsoth, has made its way into the heart of the forest; though physically weak, Worsoth can summon arcane bolts and shields. With a small band of goblin warriors, a tomb from several Ages past has been unearthed. The chieftain of the nearby elven camp suspects it may hold a relic from the past. This artifact, a cylinder as long as a forearm, surges with barely contained power.
