what's a ghoul to a goblin?

The silence as she waited was so loud Skadi could hear herself breathing. To combat this just in case ghouls had soft voices she decided to hold her breath. Her ears strained and her patience languished in the quiet as she waited, desperate for an answer. She'd thought about peeking into the Forest all morning; it would be a shame if all of that scheming had been for nothing! All she wanted was one monster. It didn't even have to be a big one! She'd be happy if it was a teeny little monster the size of one of the Range's skunks. She just wanted a monster.

She started to get dizzy from the lack of breathing and was forced to let out her breath in a noisy gust. Just then there was a clatter in the Forest that caused her heart to jump and her explosive sigh to turn into a tiny gasp. Was that a monster? Say it was so!

Skadi was off the boulder like a shot. There, on the other side of the border in a tangle of weird hair and limbs, was a monster! She frizzed up like a dandelion, arched her back and stiff-legged sidestepped towards the creature all the while careful to stay on her side of the border. Her bristled tail lashed from side to side and her ears were pinned back. She was as fearsome as she could manage, which truthfully wasn't much. "Oy! Monster!" She was so excited she forgot how to be clever so all Skadi could manage after that was a haughty, "What do you think you're doing?"
