Update
So the party encountered the rank and file goblins last week.
In game the characters learned very quickly that these were not your everyday goblins and had to get really creative to take on the volley fire of the Red coats. The were terrified of the green coats and hated trying to hit them as the room target was set to 14. The blue coats were less scary but still a force to be reckoned with as each type had attacked at pretty much the same time.
The players on the other hand, when they realized there were muskets firing like British 1800’s troops with rolling fire. There was a real sense of dread even terror as the cave filled with acrid smoke and the showers of stinging pellets…
These goblins will be making many more appearances in the sessions to come.
