Gideon Rumblebottom's page

"I'm finished!" exclaims Gideon as he puts down his pen and slams the book closed that he's been writing in all this time.

"It's perfect, The Goblin Hellknight, a daring tale of action, adventure and many lunches where in the Goblin Hellknight and his barely competent longshank allies reclaim their long lost fortress from the forces of evil..."

Gideon declares somewhat glumly "I'd offer you all royalties but these things are never very profitable. That said, it's done and it's time for me to move on again in search of new inspiration. Owning a castle and all may be the dream for some like the little Goblin hero of my story but it's not mine. Never could stand housework and there's well rather a lot of it to do here so once I get my stuff together I'll be sneaking off in the middle of night in search of my next muse."

Gideon ponders outloud though "How though.... how..."

Gideon listens to Davian "How interesting, at least they aren't trying to kill us."
