[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 5163432, member: 4892"] [B]Die, Dog, Die![/B] [I]The heroes rushed to the aid of the screaming young nobleman, but were too late to save his prized hunting dog. They arrived just in time to see a scaly rat-like dog ridden by a goblin tear the dog's throat out. They made quick work of the goblins, who were too happy in their mauling of the dog and terrorizing a "long-shank" to notice the group's approach. The young nobleman graciously thanked the group for saving him from his impending "goblining" and quickly became enamored with the exotic purple-haired Celeste.
