The Trial difficulty ramped up rather quickly after the third wave, which had been comprised of a bunch of overly energetic and well equipped Goblins; they were stronger than Ghouls and definitely deadlier, but their strength was always in the tricky traps and ambushes, not head on conflicts.
That made it easy to butcher them at my leisure, a few of them getting the privilege of being trapped thanks to some thick ice encasing their ankles while I massacred everyone else, leaving a few of them alive to slake some of my urges early on.
When it was less dangerous to do so I wanted to draw as much blood as possible so that I could focus on fighting later on, and because of that I was now covered in the blood of nearly fifteen Goblins that were currently in pieces all over the place, their bodies burning slowly as they were absorbed by the brazier.
