He's an imp. Anything other than a low blow would miss high.

So Cosmo=Tyrion!?

Holy crap! Now I really am both scared and really wanna meet him.

Cosmo has a Chinese name? Is it 咖死摸?

Google Translate says "Coffee Dead Touch".

I'd say that's spot on, then.

That's close enough, though I'd probably translate it as "Coffee Death Touch" if it had to be translated. 咖 isn't really "coffee", per se, but it's part of coffee so the association would be there.

[Oladon]

(Alternately, we could say it's 卡死摸, which would be more like "Grasping Death Touch" or "Clutching Death Touch".)

Actually, my chop would be 光荣超神.

This seems like a good place to leave this:

小妖精的歌
作詞: Paizo
翻譯: Oladon

小妖啃！小妖咬！
小妖斬！小妖吵！
刺狗、斬馬
小妖精們竊和打！

小妖跑！小妖跳！
小妖砍！小妖叫！
燒皮、砸體
小妖精們在這裡！

追寶寶！抓小狗！
揍腦殼塞住口！
骨被裂、肉被熬
小妖們會把你幹掉！

(For those who don't read Chinese, this is a translation of the Goblin Song. It's still a bit of a work in progress.)

Its not perfect. But its fun. I actually use it to help come up with character names and help translate cryptic postal notes on international returned products.

I like your version. I tried putting The Goblin Song straight into Google translate (English to Chinese, and putting the translation right back to Chinese to English), and this is what came out:

Chew and goblin goblin bite.
Goblin cut and goblins fight.
Barbed dog and cut the horse,
The goblin eat, and take effective!

Goblin race and goblins jump.
Slash and goblins fairy bump.
Burn skin and smashed head,
Goblins in here, you're dead!

Chase the baby, grasping puppy.
Head against a wall close it.
Broken bones, meat stew,
We are a witch! Your food!

As I said, I think your version is better...

[Oladon]

Heh. Google Translate is rarely adequate for anything you actually care about making sense. :)

Thanks for the kind words!

[Kajehase]

Not the grasping puppy!

I do that too. (The character name part, not the cryptic postal notes part.)

That's why goblins chew and bite - to be sure.

... sorry.

Ya'll better watch out for Oladon, she is the cause of most of pmg's work to keep the site operational. Little known fact: Oladon is an internet gremlin.

[Drejk]

Shouldn't Oladon, as an internet gremlin and dangerous bot, be referred to as "it"?

That's right I forgot it was a poorly written bot as well.

By definition they are not.
