In Argenta they play a game called Ring Around the Goblin. The women dance and sing in a circle around the terrified goblin, when the music stops, whoever lands on the tooth has three chances to touch the goblin without getting bitten. It's dangerous but fun! When the game is done they take the goblin to an abandoned tunnel and chase the terrified creature off- he will have to find his own way home. It may sound cruel, but a goblin with a healthy fear or Argenta says far away. https://budgetpixel.com/p/96762
