[QUOTE="Gnostic Goblin, post: 9538958, member: 7048243"] [B]Gunk and the No-Good, Very Creepy Forest[/B] Gunk ran until the troll’s roars were distant and his lungs were burning. The sun was setting now, casting the forest in shadow. He looked around, realizing for the first time where he was. “Oh no,” he muttered. “Not the forest.” The air was thick with the hum of insects, the rustle of unseen creatures, and the occasional, distant howl. Gunk swore he saw a pair of glowing eyes blink at him from the underbrush. “Stay calm, Gunk,” he whispered, stumbling into a hollow log. “You’re just regrouping. Yeah, regrouping. This is strategy!” He cowered in the log as the forest came alive with unsettling noises: hoots, screeches, and something that sounded like a laugh but wasn’t. By the time morning came, Gunk was bleary-eyed and jittery, having been woken up at least a dozen times by strange sounds. “Never again,” he muttered. “Never the forest again.” Dragging himself out of the log, he squinted up at a nearby tree. “Alright, let’s see where we are.” Climbing up, Gunk scanned the horizon. To his relief, he spotted the human settlement just beyond the edge of the forest. He also noticed his reflection in a puddle on a branch: mud-covered, twig-filled, and wild-eyed. He looked more forest goblin than hillside goblin now. “Well, this won’t end badly,” he muttered, shimmying back down. Dusting himself off and somehow making himself dirtier in the process. Gunk headed toward the human settlement. He glanced back at the forest one last time. Somewhere in the distance, the troll’s roar echoed faintly. “Don’t worry,” he muttered, smirking despite himself. “I’ll get you evicted soon enough.” To Be Continued… [/QUOTE]
