Traipsing through the woods...

A green figure crept through the woods, stopping occasionally to overturn a rock, pick up the squirming bug underneath and pop it into her mouth.  A large black spider sat on the goblin's left shoulder.  Rivka patted the spider's back affectionately and gave the creature her latest find.

"Skeezicks, looky what Rivka find," she said to the spider as she crested a small rise in the land.  Below her was a small building almost completely overgrown with vegetation.  Curiosity overcoming her, the goblin moved toward the structure cautiously and pulled away vines to clear a path to the mostly rotted door.  It was locked, but the wood was so old that she was able to break it away with little effort, but much noise. 

Squeezing herself through the opening she had made, Rivka grinned as she looked around the inside.  A small square table, two rickety chairs, a bed and a fireplace in the corner.  Poking around further, the goblin discovered a small wooden box shoved far under the bed, covered in dust and mouse dirt. She tore the lid off in excitement to find an array of bottles inside.  "Looky Skeezicks!"
