A Little Goblin's Adventure

 2004.12.24Vol.8

Hey ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dogs and hamsters, and you things moving in the back of grandma's fridge, it's me, your favorite Gob, Fab!
What? Don't tell me you've forgotten who I am! It hasn't been...that long... Has it?
Now wait. Before you get your skivvies in a jumble, let me explain where I've been all this time.
You see, I was framed for Thickshell's murder and sentenced to death, but I escaped when the airship carrying me to the prison crashed.
I spent the next few months on the run, being chased by a ducal marshal, all the while trying to track down the one-armed Quadav that had pinned the crime on me.
Well, to make a long story short, I caught the bad guy, proved my innocence, and got the girl! And now I'm right back in Jeuno where my adventures left off.

Moblina: Our adventures left off in Movalpolos, Fab.
“Details, details. Now let's get somethin' to eat. I'm starving!”



Moblina: Speaking of eating, Fab, have your readers ever wondered what constitutes a well-rounded Goblin diet?
“I don't know. Let's ask them.”
...
...
...
“No answer. Oh well. Now let's get some grub.”
Moblina: Fab! Do you even know?
“Do I? Of course I do! I... I... I just forgot.”
Moblina: Forgot? Don't you remember the four Goblin food groups? Mushrooms, dead things, brains, and chocolate.
Mmm... Chocolate...
Moblina: Why, I bet you don't even remember what you had for breakfast this morning.
“Ummm... Coeurl liver pate? Or was it uragnite escargot with herb butter? Perhaps stir-fried mandragora buds in a light white-wine sauce?”




Mandraggy: Did someone be calling me?
“Whoa! Who’s the sprout?”
Mandraggy: I'm being your buddy, Mandraggy.
“Hmmm... Not ringing any bells. Have we met somewhere before?”
Mandraggy: I was helping you travel to the Temples of Uggalepih.
“I don't know... And you said your name was?”
Mandraggy: Your buddy, Mandraggy!
“Hrmmm... Could you spell that?”
Mandraggy: M-A-N-D-R--
Moblina: Fab! It looks like all that time off has been terrible for your memory.
“Memory? There's nothing wrong with my memory. It's as good as new!”









Mandraggy: Good as new? But that would be meaning...
“Anyway, the Fab's in tip-top condition. Now can we find some place to tie on the feedbag?”
Moblina: Fab, aren't you forgetting something? You have something important to tell your readers today.
“What? Oh, yeah. Sure I do! The four Goblin food groups are mushrooms, brains...”
Moblina: Not that!




“Ummm...
Hmmm...
Hrrrmmm...”
Mandraggy: You see, he be completefully forgetting.
Moblina: Well, I have something to fix that.


Moblina casts a strange spell on Fablinix.
