This! This is another scenario that Will Not Do. Goliath has no rookery brothers and sisters to organize into a scouting party, and so after a brief debate about leaving the fort unguarded . . . he strikes out on his own, determined to return quickly and prepared to roust whatever miscreants try to take over his fort while he's off gathering friends.

"Friend, you are crying. Who has made you cry?"

And by extension, caused him to have to leave his fort unguarded? Oh, the young gargoyle is mad at somebody, he just doesn't know who yet.
