Goblin 7 stands up and attempts to tumble through Sorin's legs and off the walkway to K9. Because he is trying to move at full speed, he is not successful, and Sorin gets an Attack of Opportunity.
Goblin 8 is dead.

<p>The creature's corpse is slimy to Lisabett's touch. At first it seems simply to be wet with blood, but as you drag it further, you realize that its skin is decomposing, turning into a thick to a thick liquid and coating your hands. It's not just the skin; the whole body is rapidly deteriorating. A leg detaches and melts into the swamp. By the time you reach the water, you can no longer pull the oozy remains. What was left of the creature breaks down and is absorbed into the swamp.</p>
<p>Sorin steps into the house and the smell of mildew comes to his nostrils. There is a long bench across the far wall, but the broken pots are what catches your attention.
