One unfortunate day there was a ship wreck near the goblin city and so the lady goblins enticed the sailors (who were all men) to come to the city with food and clothing. The lady goblins recognized that the men may be afraid since there were no other beings living within the city so they opted to use their magic in order to make shapes of men doing activities.
The rue worked and they were able to persuade the men to stay by telling the sailors that their previous husbands were dead at sea.. though they were actually imprisoned and waiting to be eaten by the lady goblins.
One night the lady goblins snuck off to the prison where their "lost at sea husbands" were and proceeded to eat them. Flesh and all. That same night one of the lady goblins meat eating habits were exposed to her husband due to some light insomnia. While the new husband lay awake and pretended to sleep the lady goblin came back to the bedroom but not before finishing her meal and saying "Man's meat, man's meat, that's what goblins like to eat".. the gig was up.
The following day the news spread but naturally some people did not believe him. Fortunately there were those who did and they all plotted an escape route. It was their lucky day as there was a fairy who hated the goblins and wanted to save the men. She deployed her horse to rescue the men and return them to their homes. That same night the goblins ate the men who remained.
