Hundreds of years ago, the elves and goblinkin fought for control of known space in the Unhuman War: The elves emerged victorious and the goblinkin were driven out to lick their wounds and plot revenge for another day. That day has come. After centuries of plotting and building, a new race of advanced orcs known as the scro have rallied the goblins, hobgoblins, and kobolds. It is only a matter of time before they infiltrate known space to wreak destruction on the inhabited planets.

The first of a two-part module series, it can later be linked with Heart of the Enemy or it can be played as a stand-alone adventure. Goblins' Return is designed for four to six characters of levels 7-10.
