  • Robin's band does not have herd behavior, so they'll separate over time. If the goblins are awake, you can wait a couple hundred turns, preferably on top of a staircase). This causes most of the pack to wander off. From there, you can lure one or two monsters at a time, slowly pruning them out.
  • If you see a mass of goblins and hobgoblins, this unique is most likely around.
