Meet a Goblin or Two

[If I've got any of the details wrong here, post a reply with a correction and I'll fix the text.]

There were a few Goblins to chat with once Grozzy grudgingly led our intrepid adventurers back to the Goblin's Slergrad Kingdom.

Grozzy Slergrad [Brian Froud: Goblins]

The  entrance, guarded by two Goblins, was easily passed when Selwin pulled on a necklace of wire wound in a cube shape. From inside were heard many voices...

The Goblin Song

Goblins chew and goblins bite,
Goblins cut and goblins fight,
Stab the dog and cut the horse,
Goblins eat and take by force!
Goblins race and goblins jump,
Goblins slash and goblins bump,
Burn the skin and mash the head,
Goblins here and you be dead!
Chase the baby, catch the pup,
Bonk the head to shut it up!
Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed,
We the goblins—you the food!

A Crowded Room [Brian Froud]

The group interrupted a Goblin dinner party and after acquiring Grozzy's hat in a bet, they proceeded to the room beyond where a Gelatinous Cube named Shiny was trapped by a collapsed floor. Beyond was the Slergrad Kingdom's King, Big Flurx. Some negotiations got the party a guide, Hoogn, to the Rat Kingdom's location in the sewers where the missing bodies seem to have been going. In exchange, bar stools were promised.

Hoogn the Gasbreather

The adventurers passed through the sewers mostly uneventfully except for

• at an intersection of six sewer tunnels, observing a fight between two Rat Kingdom Goblin's (Rat's on strings around their necks) and 4 Goblins from another Goblin kingdom with some sort of chitinous or centipede type necklace... it got bloody, and
• an interruption when Hoogn spotted a pack of Dire Rats and went to grab lunch.

With a bloody skewer of rat, the party arrived at the Rat Kingdom's entryway, a passage dug out of the side of the sewers.

The largest fight to date ensued when the two Rat Kingdom guards were attacked. They released their four Dire Rats and one managed to throw some form of a fire bomb. Merrick hit the other guard before he could throw his fire bomb which resulted in a fireball that did a great deal of damage to everyone nearby.

The party then backed up at the Rat Kingdom entrance and when Goblins started charging down the tunnel they met them partway. After an extended fight, Lucky Luke and Merrick were knocked out when a final group of Goblins showed up at the far end of the tunnel and fire bombed the tightly packed group of three. (Grunt Jr. was still at the entrance after dealing with the final Dire Rat.) Savario dragged the unconscious bodies back out of the tunnel entrance as the bloddied Goblins fell back. Hoogn showed up to guide the retreating party back to Evard the Hermit's hovel where healing and a safe spot to rest and regroup were provided by the eccentric hermit.

[The final score for the evening: 6 Dire Rats, 2 Rat Kingdom Goblin Guard, 4 Rat Kingdom trained Dire Rats, 4 Rat Kingdom Goblins from within against two fallen party members to call a draw. Both sides were thoroughly bloodied in the skermish. (4 more Goblins showed up and withdrew. Hoogn did not participate in the fighting. In fact he didn't even come around the last corner.]

A Bloody Mess
