Laki be dee first Snotling, she begin dee great traditions of dee snotling tribe. Laki lived deep in the forest,with many of her goblin brothers and sisters. She be a one of dee great warriors of her tribe. She be large for a Goblyn female, tall i mean not fat. A fat goblyn be looked down on like Baulk himself. Many of her tribe defer to her, possibly moreso than dee chieftain himself. Nor, dee chieftain, not mind tho. He be a kinda lazy goblyn, happy wit his power but not wanting to get his hands dirty. Of course being in the dee forest, I don't know if you know dis but there are animals in der. Beasts of all sizes, however a particular group of beasts, we called them Mallivora. Dees beasts were ravenous vicious creatures that kill for the joy of the kill and the taste of blood on their tongues. Those that had seen them described them as massive, fur covered creatures. Their bodies were mostly grey or black with white stripe down their faces. They were the size of a pinkies horse. claws like knives, teef almost as long as my sword. They had killed many, their number dwindling day by day. Though their tribe was quite large; i wouldn't really call it a tribe more of a conglomerate of goblins. Of course dis be after dee great betrayal of Baulk so instead of just going out an slaughtering deez beasts, dey cower and hide in der huts and caves. Hoping possibly even praying dat dee beasts leave dem be.

With these beasts slaughtering many, as you could guess there was a bit of outrage. A want, nay a need to go out and kill all of them. Though as i had said they were all too scared to go out and kill them. So they pray to Melashekhaad, dee great creator, to help them, or to at least do something about Baulk so they could no longer be afraid to die. But Melashekhaad be a very lazy god, after creating the universe and all. But they pray so much that eventually he get fed up with all the botherings and listen. So Melashekhaad come down to help, however since there be so many goblyns, it be very difficult to see where he putting his feet. The sky turn dark and dere was a great crack of thunder. All goblyns scatter, some hiding in their huts, others just frozen in fear. Milashekhaad withdrew from the mortal realm, doing what he had come to do. The Goblyns just may not understand it yet.

After Melashekhaad withdrew, the sky cleared and goblyns peeked out of their huts to look at the sky, curious as to what had just happened. They began to gather in the center of their village looking at each other, puzzled.
Laki walked up to the group, she had been out in the woods, hunting small animals like usual. Not really paying attention, until another goblyn asked, “what happened to you?” looking up, wait...looking up? She looked around and realized that she was now almost a foot shorter than her fellow goblyns. Laki looked the same, sounded the same, just now smaller than others. However that didnt change the fact that goblyns around her treated her differently after that day.

Nor did not trust her to lead her usual hunting parties; she was barely spoken to about issues of the village; she was treated like a child. She became angrier and more bitter towards her comrades. Even though she did not lead the hunting parties, she still participated in the hunts. After many moons searching for the beast's lair, it was found in a cave far from the village. Given the beasts size it was unsurprising the distance they could travel. As the goblyns peered warily into the dark carvern, Laki shoved and pushed her way to the front of the group to speak the party leader,Skik. But like i said everyone of them was much to scared to go in there even though they probably had numbers on their side. Skik decided to turn the hunting party around There was a great shout of celebration amongst the goblyns as they made their way back to the village. Once they got back to the village, laki went to her hut, ignoring the celebration, and began preparing for the inevitable hunt and contemplating. Vazza, the goblyn who had taken her place as Nor’s right hand, came up to her and again ridiculed her for her size and questioned her abilities as a warrior. Laki snapped, shoving Vazza to the ground and stabbed the dirt next to her head. She bared her teeth at vazza and told her she would be happy to show her how she was the same warrior she was before. Laki decided then and there,if her tribe wasnt going to kill them, she would do it herself. Going to her hut, she packed her rucksack, and walked into the forest. She walked until she could no longer hear the sounds of her village. The night was dark, da moon not shining on this night. Though laki did not bother to make a fire or build a shelter, the forest did not scare her. She just pulled her cloak over her to sleep. When she woke, she began her trek once more, by noon she arrived at the mouth of the cave once more. She peered into the cave and listened, hearing a faint sound, she picked up a stone and threw it into the cave. Nothing came. Laki fashioned herself a torch and ventured into the cave. Further into the cave, she began seeing the remnants of things the mallivora had been taking back to their caves. Skulls of various animals, goblyns, pinkies, and others littered the floor. Laki neared the back of the cave and slowed down when she heard noise. She paused, hearing what sounded like breathing. She was careful as she walked forward to not step on any bones or kick any rocks on the floor. At the rear of the cave there were at least ten of them sleeping. Laki stopped in her tracks and turned to leave the cave. She carefully walked out, ensuring not to make any noise. When she got out of the cave she felt like she could breath again, never had she been so close to them.

Laki walked to her hunting area to set up her camp, thinking how she would kill such a large creature on her own. As she was setting up her camp, a noise startled her. She grabbed her dagger and threw it at the noise. Out of the woods a mallivora came barreling down on her, the dagger she had thrown sticking out of it. Laki scrambled for her sword and swung at the massive beast, missing but the swing gave her enough time to jump out of the way of the massive paw that came at her. The beast circled laki its black eyes glinting maliciously at her. The combatants fought for a long time, exchanging blows. Laki fought so ferociously she surprised herself. The mallivora lunged and pinned laki beneath a massive paw. Laki could feel her ribs cracking under the beast’s immense weight. Claws raked her face, but the taste of her own blood in her mouth just made her bloodlust rise higher. Gripping her sword, she stabbed at it to get the damn thing off of her. Her sword sunk hilt deep into its leg. Roaring, it reared up allowing laki so slip out from under it. Looking around wildly, she saw a tree she could climb. Jumping up into the branches she climbed as quick as she could. The Mallivora clawed the trunk of the tree attempting to get at her. With the beast up on its hind legs she seized her opportunity. Dropping from the tree, she put as much force as she could behind her sword and stabbed the beast at the top of its chest. She hit the ground and hoped that she had killed the fucking thing. It roared again, snapping at her. It just seemed more angry and now her sword was just sticking out of it. Now weaponless, laki was unsure of what to do. Her only other weapon was on the other side of the clearing by her tent. She began to circle waiting for her chance, she managed to avoid the attacks long enough to run to her bag and grabbed her second dagger. The Mallivora was bearing down on her and laki did something crazy she ran at the mallivora, sliding under it she stabbed upward into its throat. Holding her arms steady, her dagger sliced its throat completely open from jaw to chest. It ran a few more feet and collapsed just beyond her. Getting up, she wiped the blood from her face and walked over the where the heap of fur was lying. She stabbed it a few more times just for good measure. Exhausted she leaned against the giant furry body and fell asleep. When she woke, she cleaned her face, the water stinging the claw marks. With her accomplishment laying in the middle of the clearing, she pulled her dagger and sword from its body, and proceeded to skin some of the creature. She skinned its face and a part of the cape down the neck, she put the bloody skin in her pack. She also pulled out some of its teeth and cut off its toes to take its claws. Lighting a torch, she walked back to her village with her head held high.

As she approached the village she could tell that something was off, it was much too quiet. Walking into dee village der be blood all over dee place doors torn off der hinges and such. She called out to see if anyone was still alive. A small group of goblyns, only about 10 or so, came out of one of the huts that still had a door on it. Amongst dem was Vazza, and she looked dee most scared out of all of them. Dey were all frightened of her, since she was covered in blood. Laki was just smug, knowing that if they had killed them when they had numbers this never would have happened. Laki told dem of how she had killed one of these things on her own. Not one of dem believed her of couse. She pulled the skin and other things out of her pack and showed them to what remained of her tribe. With Nor dead, dee goblyns made Laki dee cheiftan of what remained of the tribe. Vazza protested but Laki would have none of it. If Vazza wanted to be cheiftan she could fight her for it. Vazza backed down, deferring to Laki. Laki told the group that should kill dee creatures lest the attack dem again. Dee goblyns looked at her like she was insane. Laki told dem what she had learned of the creatures while she was gone. The creatures sleep during the day, she told them. If they could sneak into the cave during the day they could slay them while the sleep. Dey were still scared but laki yelled at dem dat skribbit would be ashamed, where is der bloodlust. She dipped her hand into the blood that splattered the ground. “Dis be dee blood of yor bruders and sisters. Do you not want der blood? Death should not scare you” Dee goblyns looked ashamed of demselves and the next day, they went to the cave and slaughtered all of dem. So dis be how dee snotling tribe began, but ferocity be not dee only thing dat milashekhaad gift us snotlings wit.

Laki had rebuilt her village and of course it was repopulated as others came from other tribes to join Laki’s tribe. Goblyns from many places hear of the ferocity of the snotling tribe, so the snotling tribe grew larger. As they grew larger they began to encroach on the land of the Broken River Tribe, a tribe to the east. Now dis be another tribe of goblyns, and of course goblyns are conniving sons a bitches. So what dee broken river tribe do is dey begin to destroy de snotling tribe’s fields and stealing der livestock and other food stuffs. Laki found that she only had to eat about half the food dat her bretheren ate so she was able to spread out the food more and lose less people. Laki went to dee chieftan of dee Broken River tribe, and she was able to create an alliance between the two tribes. Thus ending the starvation of her tribe. After forging the alliance der was a great celebration, of course, dee Broken river goblyns brought food and drink to dee snotling tribe. While all the other goblyns get drunk and are drunk laki and all snotlings are able to drink, get drunk, get sober and get drunk again all in one night. So we are fun at parties ;). Another trait of snotlings is we are very clever, we are very good at making friends with others, especially those who are larger than we are. Dis be so we can hide behind dem so dey die and not us. If you fuck wit a snotling know that they will shank you and dey have big friends. As many of you know, der be very few true snotlings, dis be because since laki be smaller she can only have small litters, and in these litters der be a mix of full size goblyns and dee smaller snotlings. Dat why der be so few of us.
