[while you were asleep,
Boar has evolved
you have gained a Dungeon Point]
(male adventurer #1) - "I can't believe this is a dungeon! It wasn't here last month!"
(male adventurer #2) - "Were going to get a ton of gold when we report this back to the guild"
(female adventurer) - "First we have to worry about getting out of here alive"
The female adventurer shot an arrow over the tanks head, right into one of the giant maggots.
(male adventurer #2) - Yeah, the sooner we get out of here the better, this dungeon is freakin' me out"
The male adventurer (#2) used taunt to bring in the giant maggots that started to circle around to the archer.
(female adventurer) - "Watch out for the fire pits"
Occasionally holes would open up around the fleshy ground spewing fire up into the air.
(male adventurer #1) - "We took down five and there are only fifteen more. If we can clear the rest we have a chance of finding the core. That will fetch us a fortune, much more than reporting a new dungeon"
Boar core got nervous after hearing that.
"What happens if they get my core?"
[Worst case scenario, they break you into pieces to use you as ingredients for potions and enchanting items]
"and the best case scenario?"
[They use a spell on you that makes you a slave, to spend the rest of who knows how long mass producing monsters or items]
"None of those sound good."
"Is there a way to call back my goblins to help out?"
[Yes but it will cost you a dungeon point to unlock distanced communication with your minions]
"Do it"
[You have gained the ability to communicate with your minions long distance]
He mentally focused on speaking with his goblin minions
"HEY GOBLILNS GET BACK HERE QUICK, THERE ARE ADVENTURERS GOING FOR MY CORE!"
He could see the goblins location, and knew that the goblins could see his.
The goblins were actually pretty close.
Five minutes later, and down to four dog sized maggots, A group of 50 goblins showed up, being led by his five goblin minions.
Sweating and covered in maggot pus blood, the three adventurers already used up their spare potions trying to finish off the giant maggots. They were not prepared for what happened next.
The female adventurer noticed them first.
(female adventurer) - "Guys heads up! Arrows incoming!"
A volley of arrows rained down, Adventurer #1 fell down dead, riddled with arrows. Adventurer #2 was mostly protected from his iron armor that covered most of his body.
A moment later, 30 goblins, 20 with spears rushed in, killing the remaining two adventurers.
"Can I shift back into a boar with goblins in the dungeon?"
[Yes, the monsters will not be stuck in your body either]
"Shift me then!"
After a few minutes, boar core was back into his boar form.
He noticed a few differences, there were slits in his hide, running down the length of some of his ribs. The iron coating of his ribs could be seen.
There was heat coming out of the slits, as if there was a furnace lit inside his stomach.
He was also slightly bigger.
The ground was covered in pools of blood, and fat.
Boar core spoke to one of his minions. (I should really give you guys names to make this easier..)
"What are all these goblins doing here? Are they hostile?"
(goblin minion) - "No, when we left the clan we told the chief where we were going, and he insisted on helping, saying that he wanted to meet with you"
The goblin minion spoke in that guttural goblin language to another goblin that looked like he was dressed with better gear than the rest.
The goblin chief came forwards to boar core and started to talk.
(Goblin chief) - "Garak abul goragunei, akatag..."
As the goblin chief continued to talk, boar core spoke to the system.
"What is he saying? is there a way for me to understand goblin language?"
[Yes, any creature you absorb, you will also gain their language]
"How do I unlock it?"
[It is in the settings options]
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
He opened up the setting options in his menu.

"Language settings"
[English

Boar mating language]
"Goblineese"
"OK, lets see how this works"
He focused back on the goblin chief.
(goblin chief) - "Gabul Gabon, Orikinag..."
"Hey, it didn't work, I still have no idea what he is saying"
[Onishi kagaru orgabul]
"Wait, why are you also doing that now?"
[Onishi kagaru orgabul]
"change language back to English!"
[You changed the display language to goblineese. You want to instead enable goblin language comprehension]
"Oh, can you do that then?"
[Goblin comprehension enabled]
"Hey goblin minion, tell the goblin chief to stop his monologue and cut to the chase"
(goblin chief) - "There are benefits for both of us, therefore, please accept my clan as contracted dungeon minions."
"Oh is that all?, OK."
"how do I contract them?"
[You need to unlock it, and then just make a contract. You need more mana, or a dungeon point to unlock it]
"Hey, goblin minion #1 tell the chief to wait a minute."
Boar core went and ate up the three adventurers, as well as the dead giant maggots.
[You have gained
Adventurers guild identification tag, copper level
Iron shield
Iron sword
Iron dagger
Iron boots
Iron helm
Guild contract for goblin slaying]
[You mana has exceeded maximum capacity, you have gained a dungeon point]
"unlock contracts"
[You can now make contracts to bind monsters to your dungeon]
In his mind, boar core made one contract, leaving a large space at the bottom for many signatures.
He spit it out by the foot of the goblin shaman.
(goblin minion) - "Master says, whoever wants to join should sign at the bottom"
The very long paper was passed around, each goblin doing something that resembled signing.
Some smeared their blood, some smeared dirt, and some smeared boogers.
When they were all signed, it was passed back to boar core, and he reluctantly put it in his mouth.
[Contract has activated,
you will now gain xp every time a contracted monster gains xp.
Contracted monsters have a boost to their stats, this is increased the closer they are to the core.
They have an obligation to protect you, and vice verse.
Your ambient mana is increased for each minion you have, and a smaller amount is added for each contracted minion you have]
The goblins all around looked at their bodies, stretching, and getting a feel for their boosted stats.
(goblin chief) - "may this be the start of a prosperous era for the iron-claw goblin clan"
(boar core) - "Iron claw?"
"I just had an idea"
(goblin minion #1) - "Boar says to goblin chief to stick his hand in boars anus"
Taken aback at the request, the goblin chief was short of words. Not wanting to offend the dungeon, he slowly walked to the back of the boar, made a fist, and shoved his hand in.
(goblin chief) - "Sorry for my reluctance, this gesture is only used among goblins when choosing a mate"
The goblin chief started to feel a ripping burning pain on his hand.
Scared, and in pain, the goblin chief tried to pull his hand out, but boar core just clenched his anus real tight.
The goblin chief started to panic The goblins around also became scared, some started to raise up their weapons.
The five goblin minions stood in between boar core and the goblin clan, weapons drawn.
Soon the goblin chief stopped struggling, and easily pulled his hand out.
After looking at his hand, he triumphantly raised it up, for his whole clan to see.
Past the slimy chunky boar manure, there were five large claws at the end of each finger. The claws were made out of iron.
The whole clan began to cheer.
Soon they all lined up, taking turns ,each goblin happily shoving both hands in at once.
This day would never be forgotten from the long lived iron claw goblin clan. Images of that day would be carved into each cave they would take lodging in.
(boar core spent extra mana to make those claws part of the goblins genes, this means that the claws would grow just like normal claws, this also made the claws hereditary, so from now on, each goblin born would have the same iron claws as their parent)
