ATTEMPTED ESCAPE

As dawn broke over the hob goblin village, Jay found himself roused from his contemplation by the arrival of breakfast—a meager-looking meal brought by the female guards.

"I get breakfast?"

"Cool."

With a skeptical glance at the unappealing food, Jay's stomach grumbled in protest, prompting him to take a cautious bite.

To his surprise, the food was surprisingly flavorful, the taste reminiscent of the hearty dishes he had enjoyed in Lenora's home.

As he ate, Jay couldn't help but acknowledge the culinary skill of the hob goblins, a testament to their craftsmanship in all things.

"Quite impressive," Jay remarked aloud, earning a curious glance from the female guards stationed outside his cell.

Seizing the opportunity for conversation, Jay ventured to engage them in dialogue.

"You know, this food reminds me of home," Jay commented casually, hoping to establish a rapport with his captors.
