The surfer shrugged.  "Yep.. With camels.

Same place on the surface. The same ones (in the role of the Goblin Mom a gay centaur who associates himself with the sphinx, but this is the last episode with his participation). The goblin children in quantity 126.2 (counted by neuron network for migration service request).

Goblin Mom! You haven't been helping me lately, you aren't supported me, you've accused me of being stupid, you've been acting strangely yourself, and we've stopped borning children. We have to break up! Moreover, I met my childhood girlfriend and we have already had a new goblin-baby with her!
You stupid green Slug! How dare you kick me out after all that we've been through! I'm leaving you myself and going to the old gnolls harem! I will be the 61st wife, I will live in luxury! And tomorrow we will go with him and his other wives to rob the gipermarket of the high elves! And to spite you, I'll leave you to support all our children! By the way, guess the riddle: Squeeze it with your hands tightly a bit and it will become rigid!

The Lord of Drama (29)
Trader Enclave celebrated last month with various amounts of tasty beverages as councils agreed that the startup phase was over. Most of available trading networks have been set up, and most of the exploring done. Even basic training was completed and some monster containment forces established. 
Now experts could turn to other tasks and address some longer term goals as well as starting to fulfill some of the quests that appeared in Times and hope for good rewards. Also in the advanced stage, more traders in underground are expected as now equipped with transportation and support can get to explore the remnants of underworld.

Children of the Four Winds (4)
In a small forest clearing, a beautiful elf was sitting,
And he sang a sad song about yesterday's rain.
How the terrible clouds thundered,
How the streams of water poured.
Muddy streams washed away delicate flowers like mud.,
How the ants fled in terror, forgetting that the aphids were feeding them.
 
A lively breeze was gliding through the trees,
He rustled the leaves, playing merrily like a child.
When he heard about the song, he immediately fell silent.,
Holding back the breath of the pure forest.
We listened in silence, no one made any noise:
No merry squirrels jumped and the old oak tree did not creak.

And the elf kept singing about this bad weather, Crying, lamenting the misfortunes.
He sang about the fierce wind that broke the branches.
He broke and tore, rocked and screamed.

Tears were choked when the birds screeched.
They tried in vain to save their chicks, they flew nearby.
How my heart broke at the sight of that,
Like lightning striking that tree, it instantly burned down with the chicks.
 
The wolves whined plaintively, their paws flattening their ears.,
They looked sadly from under their brows,
To the sky of tall grasses.

I finished singing, took out a snuffle,
He played a sad melody and fell silent.
The forest around rustled enthusiastically, a breeze blew into the elf's wet eyes and flew away.

Groo was perplexed beyond words. he checked the orders twice and a many more times (groo was not great at counting). the fleet had sent in the right orders but only one movement had been processed. no casualties, not overloaded, correct orders sent in. this was strange indeed. maybe the gods could answer his questions...

The first flying mad gobbo had been shot down over what Groo thought was friendly lands, but maybe the gobbo got caught in crossfire? there is a lot of hostilities bubbling to the surface.

Groo comes in peace and only hopes to explore the lands and hunt monsters.
