HOBGOBLINS
t ., '
s trongholds il} ~trategically advaritage ous locations,
which they then use as staging a reas to expand
their territory.
Hobgoblin warlords never tire of combat, but
they don't take up arms lightly. Before they attack,
hobgoblins conduct thorough reconnaissance to gauge
the strengths and weak nesses of their foes. When
assaulting a stron ghold, t hey surround it first to cut off
escape routes and s upply lines, then slowly starve the ir
e nemies out.
Hobgoblins fortify their own holdings, bolstering
existing defenses with innovations of their own.
Whether they lair in cavern complexes, dungeons ,
ruins, or forests, they protect t heir s trongholds with
ditches, fe nces, gates, guard towers, pit t raps, and crude
catapults or ballis tas.

Maglubiyet the Mighty One , the greater god of
goblinoids. As terrifying as this figure is, hobgoblins
don't fea r death, believing that when they die in battle ,
their spirits join the honored ranks of Maglubiyet's army
on the plane of Acheron.
