Mr. Mertle, the eccentric recluse in town, needs a band of brave adventurers to help him deal with a problem. Goblins have taken up residence around the crumbling remains of an ancient fighting pit behind his home, and their presence is becoming increasingly disruptive. But what seems like a simple pest control job quickly turns into something far more dangerous - and more bizarre.

As the adventurers arrive, they discover the goblins are not what they seem. Instead of mindless marauders, these goblins are on a quest of their own: to retrieve a cherished artifact that lies hidden somewhere in Mr. Mertle's walled-off gardens without falling victim to the mysterious and dangerous creature that lives there.

What's the mysterious and dangerous creature that lives in the garden?

It's Mr. Mertle's impossibly strong mastiff, Hercules. But the goblins only know it as "The Beast."
