    Goblin Scribe wrote about the word passionate 1 year, 6 months ago

    The goblin spoke passionately to the people. “You must fight!” he shrieked. “Get off the stage!” the barkeep muttered. “The king is mad!” “Get out my my inn!” “Join the goblin ghetto in rebellion! Join us!” The innkeeper tried to grab the goblin, but Grast was too quick. “Fight!” The patrons were ignoring him, though [...]

    Goblin Scribe wrote about the word comfort 1 year, 6 months ago

    Comfort. It was an alien feeling to the goblin. And it would remain alien. When the dwarves had come, barging into his home, he had had none. The dwarves wanted his blood. He’d killed their king. And the other goblins had escaped. They needed something to take out their righteous anger on, and they had [...]

    I have a follower now. This ’power’ is a heady drug.
    Perhaps I should take over a city.

    Goblin Scribe wrote about the word morality 1 year, 7 months ago

    Morality. The goblin questioned it often. It was a sticky issue, to be sure. He was pretty sure some morals would frown on him trying to murder the king’s daughter. She was a witch, of course. And she was up to something, Still, doing it without proof. Some folk would get hung up on it. [...]

    Living on the edge is a tricky business. Garble the goblin didn’t much fancy it. He didn’t much fancy spending five minutes there, in fact, but that was where he was now. When the elves had held him at gunpoint, he hadn’t expected they’d force him onto the plank. But force him they did. And [...]

    Braid ain’t a word I can write about too well. Did my best, though.

    The braided rope was strong as cable, the goblin observed. “That’ll do well for the purpose it’s got.” He ran down the hallways, through the dark castle they had stolen from the dwarves, and threw the rope to his kingly master. The much larger goblin nodded. “Good work, ropesmith.” “It’ll do to hang the dwarf, [...]

    Goblin Scribe wrote about the word half 1 year, 7 months ago

    The goblins stared blankly at the broken artifact. The massive sword had been cut clean in two by the horrid ghostly beast that stood before them. “All that work…” one murmured. The beast cackled. “You’ve been searching a while. Well, your search is over. You failed.” “We found it,” the lead goblin countered. “And lost [...]

    Half of the goblin lay on the road. The other half in the ditch. The other eight goblins sighed. “One of them dwarf machines, I’d guess. The saw things.” “Aye,” said another. “We’ve got to get moving. Y’know how quick they move, I expect they’ll be back once their patrols are done.” None of the [...]

    This was surely a cause for celebration. The dictator was dead, felled by five arrows. The archers in turn had been executed by the guards, of course, but the guards could not stop the people from rejoicing. Unfortunately, they had other ways to prevent happiness. They were not to be trifled with, for they alone [...]

    The goblin looked up, and ducked as five bullets went over his head. “Crap. I think they’re still there.” He turned to his dwarf partner. “What you suggestin’?” The dwarf shrugged, reloading his crossbow. “I say we make a break for it.” “It’d be a lot easier if the men with the rifles would leave [...]

    What was in the pouch? The goblin stared, wide-eyed. He’d been entrusted with this ‘sacred relic’, to protect it from the marauding ogres. But…surely he should escape the burning city before looking inside. But what was in it? But,..burning… He couldn’t resist. The goblin opened the pouch. And the city exploded with light. A tiny [...]

    Goblin Scribe wrote about the word average 1 year, 8 months ago

    The idea of an average item is a silly concept. That’s what you’ll read if you look at what’s been written on the site. Nothing is average. Everything is unique. Is that so? If reality is colored by our perceptions, and we perceive things to be average…we brand most things as such. Except ourselves and [...]
