Tracy ran as fast as he could towards the kitchen. Thog had only cooked once previous, and to put it lightly..... it was dangerous.

The food did not look or smell foul in the least. No, the problem lies in the fact that Thog cooks so well, it can draw in not only people, but anything within a 100 mile radius, the smell alone seemed to work as lesser mind magic. It's quite an oddity that such a brute can cook so well, but simply put, the only thing Thog really paid attention to, is food. including cooking processes.

Tracy enters the kitchen, smoke rises from the crisp bacon, the smoke seems like the finest temptress and beacons him over.

"Thog.... perhaps this might not be the best time to cook, their are simply not enough resources to feed whatever tramples their way over her..." -Tracy

Tracy was having trouble thinking, the bacon smells so gooood. he looks to the dwarf, however the dwarf seems to have lost all arguments on the subject.

"Hmm, Thog think you might be right. Thog just finish up what Thog is cooking here, for Thog's babies!" -Thog

Just then, it seems like the bacon and what appears to be two pancakes is placed in front of Gobgob, and Hobgob.

the dwarf looks a bit upset, and Tracy is having trouble keeping his composure.

"Um... perhaps you could cook a bit....." -McLaughlin

Tracy covers the dwarf's mouth in a hurry.

"Never mind what he was saying Thog... Thog, you know the guild master is going to assign us something dangerous. We might have to let them go.." -Tracy

The goblins look panicked, Thog looks lost in thought, which is an occurrence that only happens once a century to be sure.

"Hmm, Tracy might be right.... Thog doesn't want to let them go, and Thog's babies don't want to leave Thog. Someone can take care of Thog's babies while Thog is away?" -Thog

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Tracy looks upon Thog, this was easier than he thought. he thought Thog would at least throw a temper tantrum. Still, who would take care of two goblins? The goblins were quite civil, but the discrimination would be fierce.

"Don look at me, hard enough time taking care of meself. Not ready to have brats-o-me own." -McLaughlin

Just then Tracy had a brief thought, perhaps one of Thog's previous "Pets" could do the job, the lich comes to mind. Tracy does not like the lich on principal, but the lich really cleaned up his act, and would defiantly not allow discrimination. This might actually work!

"Thog, i had an idea. Why not leave them with Lazarus, he teaches at the local orphanage so he would be perfect for the job." -Tracy

"This is great idea! Tracy so smart, why not Thog think of this. Even good chance to see Thog's old buddy!" -Thog

Just then, a shiver ran up a certain lich's spine

"Are you abandoning us? *sniff* *Sniff*" -Gobgob

Gobgob looked like he was going to cry any minute, this pulled the heartstrings of the paladin.

"No no, we are just sending you to a friend while we are doing dangerous work! We will be right back after taking care of business!" -Tracy

Tracy wore a warm smile to reassure the goblin child. The goblin children were slowly carving a place in the paladins heart.

The goblin looked relieved and jumped up and hugged Tracy in happiness, which further carved her place in Tracy's heart.

"Thog thinks we should go now! No time to waste!" -Thog

He picks up the goblin babies, and runs out the door, Tracy chasing after him.

"........ They forgot about me.... Well, might as well finish up the rest of the food, no point in wasting it!" -McLaughlin

The dwarf stuffed his face with the remaining bacon and pancakes that Thog had cooked.

"Shooo GOOOOOD!" -Very happy dwarf

"Are you sure this will work?" -Snotty noble

The noble was at the entrance of a dungeon that was hidden right under his castle.

"Yes, i assure you, your doubts are unwarranted, if you can complete this dungeon yourself, you will obtain the power to defeat not only Thog, but anyone else that dare go against you." -hooded man(?)

"This had better, or it is YOUR head!" -Snotty noble

He took his first step into the dungeon, and the first step in his path to greatness. The noble could not help but to wonder how he had never seen this dungeon before, just what is this city hiding? Well he would find out, all in due time, first comes revenge!

"Lead the way, Shade!" -Snotty noble

"Right away my lord!" -Shade

From under the hood you could spot a slight smile on the man(?)'s face. Only one person witnessed the noble and hooded man enter the dungeon.

"All according to plan....." -????
