The final fight of the Guzutchland Goblin Kingdom - as witnessed by Vira of Nandel
The defences were weak, entering Guzutch's realm, with more of a focus on warning goblins not to leave. All that we encountered was a room with screaming goblin skeletons on spikes that stopped with a simple blow to the skeleton, and a cryptic warning of an evil shroom. Zacarias Venacio Borromeo claimed this was Guzutch's propaganda to prevent her goblin subjects from abandoning her dark and gloomy realm, but it may have to do with an evil shroom wizard. That is another tale though, and is recorded elsewhere.
Once Guzutchland was entered, Guzutch did try flattery to convince strange "slug people" to help release an unnamed goblin god, who if released would undoubtedly have been ample help to defend her kingdom. The Circle of Orin did not fall for this ruse.
The next mistake made by the goblins of Guzutchland was to allow the strangers to approach the queen while she was trying to entrap them. This allowed Zacarias to land a devastating blow to the queen before her guards to react. The rest of the goblins lacked any real conviction after the queen fell. Ramuh and Vira were able to injure multiple goblins with one blow, Ramuh by surrounding himself by the goblins and using his magnificent light sword, and Vira by summoning a blast of Ioun's energy.
The remaining subjects fell quickly to the Circle of Orin, though Berrian did seem bewitched by the statue of the God during the fight. Perhaps this was also supposed to be a defence. It is believed that only 1 goblin survived. The others were driven by grief at the loss of their queen to continue attacking the superior force, with no thought of retreat.
Though the summoning of a goblin god is questionable, the complete destruction of this goblin civilization is a tragedy, with all their knowledge lost forever.
