Goblin King and his servants have gathered around their table. There seems to be much discussion going on. A lot of homegrown troops available, will they go early at the draft? The latest scouting reports indicate not, but we’ll see what happens 😉 ---

Shortsighted on his part. I have @Studs’ pick ready to fire off once @Shiratori picks. ---

Luther gazed upon the trophy I carried as he approached. “I see you have won young one, even without my assistance.” He still seemed a little annoyed that I had passed on him. “It was fun. So much so that I entered the next one. Even get to pick first this time, with no restrictions.” His eyes lit up a bit. “So you had me come to you here in Zaejin to welcome me to the team?” “Of course, well, maybe. Not exactly, we’ll have to see, but I am here definitely for a pick and I thought you could help me with that.” Luther’s eyes narrowed. “Really? We’re here to pick a Goblin first overall?” “Well, I have a plan. Some deals cooking.” “But Goblins? Look at them.” Peering off at the nearby tribe, the scene was madness. Goblins and Hobgoblins were fighting with each other, both attempting to show their superiority. Meanwhile, one riding on a boar collided with another on a rocket to see just how big of an explosion they could create. “They don’t look as strong as they use to.” “Nonsense Luther. Look at them. No one will stand a chance. They will just keep coming without anyone being able to get an attack in. The chaos, the madness, the… wait a minute.” A raven landed on my shoulder carrying a message. “What does it say?” Luther asked, growing a little tense over the carnage that was slowly moving closer. “Oh. Hrm. Looks like my deal fell through and I won’t be able to grab the team in 1 shot. Looks I can only get 1 instead. Oh well, Plan B.” The goblin tribe stopped their fighting and looked hungrily at us. Dinner was on their mind. “Luther!” “While I wish I weren’t ‘Plan B’ especially to a disappointed and angry goblin…” “No, just hold my trophy here.” I pulled out a tome, modified from its original form. “What is that?” “Daemonomicon version 2.0.16.” Upon reading the passage, the ground exploded, blowing up the tribe and scattering them as far as Broken Spire. Luther looked shocked. “And what was THAT?” I calmly put the book away as a massive figure arose from the blast. “Doomstones. Worked before, might as well do it again.” Hello Gorgotha. @Studs is on the clock. ---

According to his profile, @Studs hasn’t been on for a few hours, so I will make his pick for him to keep things going. * * * A mysterious cloaked figure is seen sneaking into the Series lodgings. It creeps down the dimly-lit halls and stops at a door marked “@Studs” and with a wave if it’s hand, the enchanted lock on the door unlatches and the door silently opens. The cloaked figure enters the room and glares at the sleeping silhouette before removing a pendant from it’s cloak. It places the pendant in the boot of @Studs and retreats into the shadows. In the distance, the inhabitants of the lodging hear the easily-recognizable screech of an approaching… # **Bone Dragon!** * * * @killerman3333, you are on the clock! ---
