As the guards came storming upstairs, the sound of their heavy boots rattling the castle with each step, Arianna noticed that one of the large wooden hatches that normally kept fresh air out of her room had been left ajar by accident. If she had noticed her servants had made such a glaring mistake before going to bed...
No, this was not the time! The little goblin scampered up her bed and climbed through the hatch, noticing that her hands now ended in tiny little claws that fit perfectly in the corners of the castle's masonry. She got out just as the door to her room burst open. She could hear the maids screaming and the guards cursing angrily as they tossed her chambers.
Fortunately, the ruckus caused by her discovery meant that all of the workers who would otherwise be outside had abandoned their duties to help out, meaning no one noticed the naked female goblin with the oversized breasts that constantly threatened to throw her off-balance as she scaled the walls and eventually dropped into the moat. As she climbed out, Arianna assessed what to do now. If she tried to follow the road back to town, she would be quickly noticed.
Then her eye caught something nearby. A large horse-drawn wagon piled high with rotting garbage, human waste, and other foul things cleaned from the castle's gutters and lavatory pits. By royal custom, the disgusting refuse was to be taken as far away as possible and dumped. Arianna saw an opportunity, made all the easier by the fact that the smell from the wagon, a hideous odor that any human would find offensive, smelled like the sweetest bouquet of roses to her.
Suddenly, she heard a worker approaching the wagon. He had clearly been ordered to finish carting away the mess before the sun went down. There was no time! Arianna dove headfirst into the wagon, instantly finding herself submerged in a slimy mess of animal droppings and spoiled meat. She fell asleep in the muck almost immediately. It wasn't until much later that she woke up to another sound: goblin speak. She looked up to see a half-dozen of the green beasts digging through the garbage pile. Most of them were much, much bigger than her. And they were getting closer and closer to where she was hiding.
