Morning in Roland Town was as noisy as ever.
The starving commoners rose early. Even if hunger had kept them awake until midnight, they dared not indulge in a moment of extra sleep for fear of missing the few work opportunities available.
News had spread last night that several young women had been abducted by Goblins. The Patrol Team, who usually paraded around with their noses in the air, had been completely useless. The town's flimsy outer wall was no match for the Goblins' insatiable greed.
The breach created by a Mutated Goblin a few days ago still hadn't been repaired. Only a shoddy collection of fences had been put up, which the Goblins had long since torn to pieces...
But the townsfolk hardly cared about such news anymore. After all, just staying alive took everything they had.
