Season 2, episode 8

The underworld. A single bedroom cave with a kitchen and a latrine. The goblin family. Goblin Papa, New Goblin Mom, the goblins children (It's a good thing that they don't have to be counted again!!)

Nice new Goblin Mom! While we were looking for a better life on the surface, a lot has changed here in the underground world! The dwarves and the orcs have rebuilt the city, are rebuilding mines and forges, and building new caves. How useful revolution can be sometimes! 
Dear Goblin Papa ! I think the revolution has nothing to do with it! It's just that mithril has been found in our lands and everyone wants to extract it in large quantities. By the way, we have another little goblin born! I hope he doesn't grow up to be a revolutionary! Many of your comrades in the mold revolution did not live to see this day!
You know, the new Goblin Mom! It's a good thing we waited out the war on the surface. But it's a pity that we couldn't stay there. Although I've heard that it's even worse there now than it was before the revolution here! Migrant gnolls are terrorizing the elves, looting their homes and painting the palace of the ruler of the elves with graffiti! Somewhere among them is my Previous Goblin Mom... 
Goblin Papa! Don't you dare mention her in front of me! Otherwise, you'll have to solve the riddle: what's that heavy and dirty thing hitting you on the head right now?!

              Squirrel Chatter              fourth September
------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty thousand masked warriors (with runeswords and flaming
swords)  and 50  thousand masked  archers (with  doublebows)
slew 650 squirrel peasants.  Fortunately the peasants didn't
hurt any of  the masked ones. I wonder what  the masked ones
want?  What past or present circumstances explain what those
who wear the thousand masks are choosing to do now?    Do we
have something they lack?  Do any of you know what those who
wear the thousand masks want or need?
                                         --Victoria, Mowdorf 

One month after  Tinoth Novisosed was run over  by the seven
catapults named  "Squirrel Smash", an  assasination happened
nearby.  The reports  in the  Times of  assassinations never
tell the interesting details; we  wish we had an observer at
the scene to  provide more details.  Sadly, our observer was
run over by seven catapults month before last.
