Meet Jig. He's a goblin runt. He's about to have a REALLY bad day. As if muck duty weren't enough, his pet fire spider has burned off all his hair and the bullying captain Porak has sent him ahead on patrol while the rest of the goblin guard gambles. Things might have turned out ok if only Jig hadn't run into that group of adventurers... Meet the adventurers. Prince Barius is the warrior, his brother Rysland is the magician. They've got a dwarf too, Darnak, who keeps them from killing each other. And don't forget the elven thief crouching over there in the corner. They're about to kill Porak's goblin patrol because, well, goblins are evil and that's what adventurers do, right? They're looking for the Rod of Creation and no monster, not even the ‘rightful' owner of the rod will stand in their way. And Jig? Jig's about to become their guide. If only he knew where the Rod of Creation was... Taken from the goblin's rather unique perspective, this well plotted quest has you questioning your beliefs about heroes and the honour that they kill by.
