A half-orc barbarian, an elf paladin, and two goblin babies soon arrive at a rather broken down orphanage. That is to say broken down compared to the other buildings in town, for an orphanage however, it was in quite good shape with only a few broken windows, and a cracked stair.
A lich who happened to be teaching at the time, glanced out the window and what he saw made blue droplets of pure mana drip down his face.
"Oh god.... OH GOD! Maste..... er Thog is here!" -Very frightened lich
"B...but, i have been good, I... I started teaching orphans! I BRUSH MY TEETH NOW!" -Extremely frightened lich
"um... Teacher Lazarus? What's wrong teacher?" -Little girl
As if being slapped with a rather large fish, he looks at the child and smiles... sort of. he doesn't have cheeks so its a bit hard to tell.
"My dear, it's just that a..... friend, has come to visit. one i would much rather they didn't..." -Lazarus
The little girl tilts her head at the lich, at first he was scary, but after awhile he became like a father to the children.
"They don't sound like good friends...." -Little girl
"I assure you, they are not. however i owe... one of them, my life." -Lazarus
just then, the building shook.
"Buddy! Thog has come to visit!" -Thog
The mana droplets are now pouring off of the lich.
"um.... if you will excuse me for a bit children.... If i take too long, Thog might.... *Gulp* think i am playing hide and seek" -Lazarus
----------------------------------------
"I wish you would not shout all the time." -Tracy
Thog just sits there ignoring tracy, petting Gobgob, and Hobgob. Gobgob looks quite annoyed, but Hobgob looks quite into it.
Just then, a lich with blue droplets are pouring off of him
"Greetings Tracy.... Thog.... What can i do for you today?" -Lazarus
"Look buddy! Thog has babies!" -Thog
The lich looks pale... well paler anyways, also extremely baffled.
"Are... Are they yours?" -Lazarus
Tracy looks like he is half between laughing and vomiting.
"Oh gods no! No, no, no! Thog found these two children on a raid of a goblin elite village. Besides, i doubt any woman alive would favor Thog enough for that." -Tracy
(Foreshadowing)
"Yep, Thog found Thog's new babies! But Thog is going on dangerous mission, cant risk Thog's babies getting boo boos" -Thog
The lich looks at the two goblins, he would think them cute... if they didn't look a bit too much like Thog.
"Yes, i can take them on, but are you sure you want them here? will they be able to keep up with the curriculum?" -Lazarus
Lazarus knew that goblins are... for lack of a better word, quite stupid. He would not discriminate against any child, no matter how Thog-like. But he did not want to train them away from the rest of the children, to do so would be too cruel.

"Um... we will do our best mr teacher... We like learning!" -Hobgob
"Yes, we will do our best sir!" -Gobgob
The lich gasped, these children were not only smart, but quite polite! Defiantly children worth teaching!
"Yes, as you can see they are quite intelligent, in fact, they also have quite a bit of magical potential if i remember right." -Tracy
Once more, Lazarus gasped, he could teach magic! He had always wanted an apprentice, and had wanted to chose one from the orphans but none had any magic sense to mention. This was his big chance!
"Yes of course, i will even make them my apprentices if you would like!" -Lazarus
"Thog agrees with you, teach Thog's babies to be strong, and blow up stuff!" -Thog
Tracy sighs, this was all he needed, children who could "Blow things up." Still, it couldn't be any more destructive then Thog is normally, and magic is quite handy.
"Hmm, well i think this would be suitable. What say you children? This is your future we are talking about" -Tracy
The goblins look at eachother and nod.
"Yeah! we have always wanted to learn magic normally, or at not get whipped for failing..." -Gobgob
The lich looks at the children who have gone through so much with tears in his eyes... or is that more mana droplets? Hard to tell.
"Alright, its official then! -Lazarus
Just then, Thog rushes over to the lich and gives him a huge hug, a huge painful, bone shattering hug.
The lich lay in shambles on the floor, in his excitement he forgot one of the people in the room was Thog...
"Time to go on mission, Thog leaves Thog's babies to Thog's buddy! Bye bye Gobgob, and Hobgob! Be good, Thog will miss you!" -Thog
Thog runs over to the children and kisses them on the cheek in turn, it left slobber on their cheeks and then ran out the building.
"Yes, we will be leaving, goodbye children. be good, and thank you Lazarus" -Tracy
The paladin ran after the green blur shouting "Slow down Thog! Thog, don't just run over people! GET BACK HERE!"
The children look down at their new pile of teacher.
"Yes.. um, could you please help me reassemble myself children?" -Lazarus
