The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 8
The Story of the Goblin Exterminator

Once upon a time long, long ago, when the whale still was a trout and Seringale not under siege, a warrior was on a mind numbing journey for any piece of gold and silver he could scrape together. Even at times as were then, he was especially keen and skilled on slaying the ones named goblins, as he had from early days on learned the now patented way of 'cracking the spine in three, four, five or even six places'. As he was lurking around the area near Solace he met a farmer working hard on his fields and offered him his services as a goblin exterminator. He said he wasn't interested because he hadn't seen any goblins or gnomes on his farm for years. The starved warrior indicated that he had a wife and three younglings and really needed the gold.

The farmer still didn't think he needed any goblins put out of their misery but he felt sorry for the warrior and said, "I'm certain there aren't any goblins around here but if you will strip naked, I'll tie you to my barnyard fence for the entire night and when morning comes, if you've got even one goblin bite on you, I'll hire you for life."

The warrior was elated and readily agreed to being tied up naked. That night, the farmer tied the naked warrior to the barnyard fence and went to bed. Several times during the night he thought he heard him moaning and groaning.

However, when he went out the next morning, the warrior didn't have even one single bite or scratch on him. The farmer asked, "What was all that moaning and groaning about last night?" "That was the worst night of my life," the warrior said.
