I expect this comment won't be seen (because only scammers posting malware are allowed to post) but if I could be heard then I would like to say that I enjoy this game and look forward to the new incremental releases, small though they may be.
A bit late, but yes I was able to fight goblins and other creatures in the forest. I saw a bad goblin end that I didn't attempt to play my way out of, and also some interesting things that you can find by exploring in the forest.
