The viewing opened up to show the Company being dragged by the horde of goblins through the cavernous mountain. All chattered as the dwarves attempted to break free from their captors.

As they were lead through the caverns, the viewing showed that many other wooden platforms lie above their heads, teeming with other goblins who watched on from above. Soon enough, the dwarves were brought before a great opening, littered with twisting bridges that lead to goblin holes within jagged stalactites; infested with ghastly goblins that growled and hobbled about. And at the center of this Goblin Town was a mighty stalagmite from which a large, crudely built throne resided on.

"Dear God, that is a lot of goblins." Port remarked with his eyes widened.

"And each one looks more fuglier than the last." Qrow commented with a deadpan stare.

"Not to mention a lot of crudely built infrastructure." Oobleck said as he rose his brow at the sight of Goblin Town. Though after saying this, the history teacher found both Qrow and Port raising their own eyebrows at him. "What? Can I not point out how hazardous the goblin civilization seems to be? It's a genuine critique."

"How on Remnant are they gonna get out of this one?" Tai asked.

"That's hoping we all can make it out this time." James spoke with a concerned expression. "Against insurmountable odds like these, the risk of death is far greater."

As the dwarves continued to try and fight their way out of the goblins' grasp, the foul clanging of instruments began to play. This had caused the goblins to cheer as a sharp horn was echoed throughout the cavern, immediately sending paint to Bifur's ears as he covered them up.

All around the goblin town, the goblins, in their meager, ragged clothing and their bone built armor, clanged against gongs and battered against makeshift drums.

"Ugh! That is horrendously offbeat." Weiss balked at the sound of the goblins's instruments.

"And ear grating." Blake added with a flinching frown as her bow immediately flattened against her head at the sound of the instruments.

"Where's a damn ear plug when you need it?" Sienna questioned with a scowl, going through a similar situation as Blake. However, despite Sienna's annoyance to how the instruments were played, she was able to withstand it better than the cat faunus.

At the throne of the goblin town, a great and mighty goblin sat with crown made of bones and a staff adorned with a ram's skull. This was the Goblin King. He was a fat and ghastly creature with long, greasy and balding hair. He let out a sickly cough, hunching forward as he did so. As the viewing panned to show the front of the Goblin King, the audience watched in disgust and displeasure as they were shown his mutated feet and wart-covered potbelly.

"I feel a song coming on." The Goblin King spoke with a rough, yet refined voice; much different from his smaller kin.

"Sweet father of Grimm, what the hell is that?" Emerald asked; revolted at the sight.

"Given that barbaric crown on his head, I would infer that this is the king of the goblins." Cinder said with a calm, appalled look. "And a very cancerous individual at that."
