Goblin Quest
|
 |
Jig
the goblin was the runtiest member of an admittedly
puny race. Jig was scrawny, so nearsighted as
to be almost blind, and had such a poor self-image
that when he chose a god to worship it was one of
the forgotten ones--after all, what other sort of
god would have him for a worshipper? He also
had a cowardly fire-spider for a pet, a creature
that was likely to set your hair on fire if it got
into a panic.
Made to
stand tunnel watch by the goblin bullies who'd been
assigned the job, it was just Jig's luck to be taken
captive by a group of adventurers--with the usual
complement of a dwarf warrior, a prince out to prove
himself, his mad wizard brother, and an elfin thief.
Forced to guide this ill-fated party on their search
for the Rod of Creation--though Jig had no more idea
how to find it than they did--he soon had them
stumbling into every peril anyone had ever faced in
the fantasy realms. And they hadn't even found
the Necromancer or the Dragon yet!

Goblin Hero
|
 |
They
call him Jig Dragonslayer, and who is he to deny a
legend? Though he's been captured by adventurers
and dragged along on their foolish quest, he's
survived both the Necromancer and the Dragon. If
people want to insist he's a hero, he isn't going to
fight about it. But the trouble with being a hero
is that everyone expects you to keep doing heroic
things. All Jig wants to do is worship his
forgotten god, hang out with his pet fire-spider,
and heal humiliating goblin injuries.
But
Kralk, the goblin chief, sees Jig as a threat to her
power. So when an ogre comes seeking Jig
Dragonslayer's help against an unknown enemy, Kralk
insists he accept the challenge. With a large,
exceptionally dumb goblin and an ancient, crotchety
goblin who can barely walk as his unwanted
sidekicks--and pursued by a goblin who's certain
that she's meant to be the true goblin
hero--Jig sets out for ogre territory.
After
all, being killed by a magical enemy who can terrify
an ogre is probably no worse than being killed by
your "friends. . . ."

Goblin War
|
 |
Despite impossible odds,
Jig was still alive. He'd survived an
adventurers' quest against a dragon and a
necromancer, a pixie invasion that had ogres and
trolls dropping like flies, and most frightening of
all, the threat of being made chief of the goblins.
He wasn't sure how much more he could stand.
Naturally, he was about
to find out.
War was brewing in
the world outside the mountain, and when the
goblins' lair was invaded by human warriors, Jig
knew it was only the start of another really bad
day. . . .
