You’re fighting a Knob Goblin Barbecue Team, a deadly combination of a neophyte Knob Goblin Chef and a magically animated barbecue grill. Sometimes these things are friendly, but this one appears to be pretty aggressive. In fact, it gets the jump on you.
The Chef dips his barbecue tongs into the coals of the grill, then tries to grab your arm with them, but you sidestep with panache. Then you put down the panache.
You thrust and smack with your seal‐clubbing club, just like Torg taught you to. SOCKO! BIFF! KAPOW! BAM!
You win the fight!
You gruffly address the rest of the apprentice chefs. “Trip‐trap!” you say, then decide to be a little less gruff, “Okay, guys, where’s the Obvious Plot Device?”
They claim it’s not here, and a quick search reveals that they’re telling the truth. Great, now what?
