**New Troop: Nobend Brothers** [ 

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/6/641843d1bc19211562a9f8441fe91f3fa39fa122.png)

A famous tavern song performed by bards throughout Krystara pays homage to three of the most disgraceful Goblins to ever pass outside of Zaejin. Their exploits are dubious, their victories few, and their moral fibre almost non-existant. Nevertheless their deeds have been made into many a bawdy ballad, one of which is included below:

The Sheriff of Delving,  
With a look born of fear,  
Yelled “Lock up your children,  
For the Nobends are here!”

There was big Randy Raven,  
And sly little Splog,  
And the third Nobend Brother,  
Who was just known as Hog.

They strolled into Delving,  
Where the Sherrif held sway,  
He said “Stop there, you three!”  
And he pushed them away.

Well the Nobends just tittered,  
As Goblins will do,  
Splog kicked in his kneecap,  
Drove a spike through his shoe.

Then Raven jumped on him,  
Sunk teeth in his thigh.  
And Hog grabbed a spoon,  
And he scooped out an eye!

The moral of this story  
I think you will find…  
“Keep your hands off the Nobends,  
Or you will go blind!”

📰 3 is a crowd, unless we’re talking about the **Weekly `Three`dback Report**! 💎💎💎

* * *

This group of a troop is as rowdy as any major sports fans, minus any of the sportsmanship.  
They may say that third time’s the charm, but there’s nothing charming about this green trio, say “god, please, no” to the **[Nobend Brothers](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/Nobend_Brothers)**!

These three pick two spell effects out of a total of four, it’s a rightly-named ‘Crazy’ barrage of options! From reducing attack or dealing damage, to an extra turn or just blowing right up, there’s never a shortage of slapstick for these Stooges.

Pardon me a second to collect my scattered thoughts. […] Alright, back into fray, or should I say fryer?

If you’re looking to cause even more trouble, see what you can cook up with the _[Arcane Lava Traitstone](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops?color1=red&color2=brown)_! Make a mean **[Gorgon](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6141)** steak with [**Jarl The Firemantle**](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6080)! Fire things up with **[Ragnagord](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6105)**! And breath new life into the meal while extinguishing your foes with **[Emperina](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6091)**!

Or you can just eat away at this barbecue to grow big and strong with **[Cyclops](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6132)**. Hey, somebody’s gotta make sure everything still tastes alright with how many charred bodies were used for fuel!

* * *

🗞 Don’t grill me too hard now, I’ve got a rather tender heart you know. 💝 ❇❇❇

#_Match you next time!_

Glad their spell got an upgrade. Seemed kind of underwhelming for 12 mana initially.

Tender heart? Oh No nononoo, that’s not a 💝, that’s your tasty gizzard you’re looking at! Your heart is that rubbery red blob over next to the Sheriff’s… enucleated orb thingy. But I think your charcoal broil analogies are truly spot on, given that it’s _Yet More Goblins_ who have been invited to the party!

Can we say Flame On? There’s little green men crowding my living room. Where’s my hazmat suit?!

So you can tell them Nob End is a place where a bunch of rich folk live… and upwardly-mobile Goblins!

In Warhammer the Boss-mobs of the Orks are called Nobs. Maybe there is also the origin of this name…
