Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashy" data-source="post: 1750872" data-attributes="member: 312">Grambo, goblin trashcatcher of the highest order, cursed and spat at the merciless deluge.  He hated rain almost as much as he hated his job and he hated his job quite a bit indeed.  One would think that a goblin so small could not generate such heated venom within his miniscule frame, and yet he did...Still, he had many little mouthes to feed, and so he plodded on and on, night after night driving his garbage wagon.  He started early in the afternoon, whipping his beasts to a frenzied pace, driving them ever up the soaring towers of Sharn......collecting the trash of those affluent beings that resided there...Once his load was full, he would go down, down, down into the bowels of the city; dump his load and then begin anew.  Day after day the same mindless, endless, boring, smelly and terribly awful job.How he hated it...How he hated the rain...Grambo drove onward, heading down, down, down...The goblin cursed as his wagon hit something in the road, an upturned paver most likely, sloshing some of the trash out of his wagon onto the street.  Goblin curses filled the rainy night as the wagon contined to roll away.Apparently, Grambo hated bumps in the road as well.Something stirred in a large pile of the garabage on the side of the road.  Then, something groaned a deep, growling groan.  Then, the something crawled out of the pile of trash.  In a way, it looked human - barely.  In a way, it looked like something more bestial and feral; something that belonged in a place utterly unlike Sharn.  The thing coughed - a guttural, rough sound - and spat out the remains of what it had been eating.Apparently, it was full, or at least the fall from the wagon had disturbed its dining.The creature blinked, wiping away some soiled piece of something or another that was stuck in the corner of its eye, and looked around, taking in its surroundings...</blockquote>
