Brood Mother Carla was about to emerge from another brood. This was normal, but it came with a problem. It was the last brood that Carla had promised to Layla. Carla and Layla would have to discuss. Where the next one would be. Here, or elsewhere.
The emergence of the goblin mostly signifies that the brood is ready to be trained and is grown. At least enough to pick up an arm, and be trained to use it. Learn their first spells, swing their first sword, and fire their first arrow. Goblins grow much quicker than humans, a full grown goblin is 3 years old, after a few months adulthood is upon them. They still grow more but the spurts in the first few months are much more drastic than a human. An old goblin is 40, and most don't last more than 50 years, if they don't die from fighting, unless you are a mother goblin that can live twice that.
