I should inspire these brave fellows to perform the great, risky deed of retrieving these mere trinkets. I ask much of them, and they have my thanks... "Get fireworks and bring them here to me." Yes... that inspiring...
Hmm... Poog do well. Zarongel venerable God, and I may do well to reward his favored son. Chief Gutwad point at Poog and motion to come closer. As Poog approach, Chief Gutwad remove robe from shoulders.
Hmm... Mogmurch and Chuffy eat bag of bullslugs quick... Mogmurch's spread was more impressive, but Chuffy keep slugs down longer. I impressed with his gutteral fortitude!

Gutwad speak to all Licktoads in Moot House with boomvoice! "You all be heroes. Each of you. You are best Licktoads but for me. And maybe but for Slorb. That you aren’t fleeing in terror from mighty sound of my voice is all the proof you should need. Yet soon, all Licktoad goblins will know your might, for I have picked you for a dangerous mission. “You know about fireworks and map we found in Scribbleface’s hut. Fireworks were fun. But map is more fun. It shows a route to a place near the coast where Scribbleface found fireworks. And it says there are more fireworks there! “I want them for Licktoads. You all go get them tomorrow. Tonight we have big bonfire to burn bad luck away from you, and we play many games. Much fun. Tomorrow you fetch me fireworks. If you meet men, you make them dead. If you meet dogs, you make them dead. If you meet horses, you make them dead. If you meet Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many, you maybe should run. And if you not find fireworks, you not come back or we feed you to Squealy Nord!” |
