The champion hits one knee, coughing for breath in the smoke-thick pit. Goblan stands over him with both daggers ready, while the crowd howls for blood and coin.
The Bandit Captain
Enough. Bets are closed. The goblin takes this round.
The roar breaks into laughter and shouted wagers as the Bandit Captain lifts a hand for silence. Across the cellar, The Stranger slips from the pillar-shadow, eyes locked on Goblan.
The Stranger
You live, as promised. Now the toll-house name, before these fools ask for more.
Goblan
The room is loud, but the deal is still open.
The Bandit Captain
Say it plain, then. Give the man his road, and let us see what Goblan does with his next breath.
Goblan’s victory puts the whole den within reach, one answer away from a route, a price, and a chance to slip his old life by the throat.
