Library: The giant

A tribe of goblinoids lived in a cave deep underground. Ogres, orcs, goblins, kobolds, bugbears and even a few trolls, all together. This is a story of one member of this tribe. This tribe, it was very highly respected by other nearby tribes and even humans had heard of it. It was time of annual RAID. Leaders had gathered to their one and only house (which was stolen from a town on the surface, since goblinoids suck at building things.) Kobold leader Trach said "Me know that he is trouble, but we can't leave him out of this." Ogre leader Trolog "mrr! Me think, that we shoulds just eat him. Big. Good meat!" Goblin leader Tretaght spoke "But it good to have giant in a raid." Bugbears and trolls seemed to be missing. Trach pondered for a while and came to conclusion "Mebbe if we wake him up we coldst talk to him." Trolog said "Why did he even came here! Passed out in the middle of me market!" Leaders went out, to the market where a giant was sleeping. Bugbears and trolls were there to keep an eye on the giant. Leaders hailed each other and started talking. (except troll leader Kurggle, who seemed to be concentrating on drinking rest of giants' ale keg.) "We think, we sholdst wake him up and ask him to join our raid." Trach said. Trolog said "Has he be suspicious, me think we sholdst eat him." Bugbear leader Arrttaag said "No suspicous, just sleeping, lets wake him." They woke the giant up. The giant was a bit out of his mind. He tried to stood up, but hit his head to the ceiling, (the tunnels were only 15 feet high.) He decited to sit down. Bugbear leader Arrttaag spoke "what are yoo doing here, messing up our RAID plannings." Trach said "We think, yoo sholds join our tribe." The giant looked at Trach. The giant spoke with thundering voice "My name is Nicholai, and I was visiting with mommy and daddy the dwarves." The giant thought a bit and continued "Dwarves gave me that keg" he looked around and noticed that Kurggle had finished drinking it. "so I drank it, while mommy and daddy were shopping and somehow I ended up here, with no memory of past events." Krach interrupted his story "Yoo will come with us to the RAID, we're gonna burn down elven village!!!" Nicholai said "hmm, Ok, might as well, since I don't know where the heck am I." Couple days passed while preparing the RAID. Having the RAID seemed now really necessery, since giants eat so much and goblinoids were running out of food. Finally the plans were ready and army of ogres, orcs, goblins, kobolds bugbears and even a few trolls started their journey to the elven village with horrible battlecry which only army of goblinoids can produce. Nicholai was leading the army. Orcs were right behind Nicholai, and all of them still screamed the battlecry, even if it had been three hours since the journey started. Nicholai wondered how long orcs can shout. Rest of the goblinoid seemed to calm down or so he thought. They traveled for half a day and met some elves. Nicholai looked at elves and shouted "Mommy! Daddy!" Female elf said "Oh Nicholai we were so worried!" Male elf said "Who are these, friends of yours?" Nicholai said "No, these creatures are going to burn down our village!" Male elf said "Oh... well no need for that, let's kill these and go home." The fierce battlecry started again, and about three thousand goblinoids charged toward the elves. Goblinoids were certain of their victory! Being great elven heroes fight clearly wasn't very long. All goblinoids were dead in about five minutes. The RAID this year was unsuccesful, but Nicholai found his mommy and daddy. They went home and lived happily since then, they never visited dwarves again and Nicholai didn't turn out to be an alcoholic.
