- The dungeons below have been inhabited by many creatures since the time of
- creation. They are mean and vicious and deranged beyond all imagination. If
- you insist upon entering, the following pages will give you some information
- about the foes you may encounter. My knowledge is by no means complete
- however, and the 'Monster Manual' by Gary Gygax might prove to be a valuable
- source of additional information.

- reasonably well armed, but never-the-less, are not too difficult to kill.

-
- GOBLIN

- average intelligence and lack of special attacks or defenses makes them only
- slightly more resistent a foe than the Kobold.
