5 pm EST is Goblin Hunting Time!



With apologies to anyone of a poetic nature, anyone who actually likes “We three kings” and anyone who is offended by drunken goblins. Oh, and that guy over there who is always professionally offended. YOU know who you are!



We three goblins of the Abyss are
Smelling ghastly we burp from afar
Fouling fountains, littering mountains,
Looking for the nearest bar

O Bar of Eodon, open all night
Bar with pirate brandy blight
Moonshine flowing, all things knowing,
Drink makes us think we’re right!

Born goblins of underground plain,
It stinks below, but we can’t complain,
Thinking slightly, planning lightly
Behold my two-celled brain!

O Bar of Eodon, on mountain’s height,
Bar with buccaneer grog so right!
Liquor flowing, now we’re going
to drink and throw up all night!

Goblins wise, you’ll know us by name,
Our boasts are a thing of fame,
We can’t write, and we can’t read,
But we think we’re wise all the same!

O Bar of Eodon, bar of booze,
Our brains are pickled, not much to lose,
As we goblins party, ever hearty,
Now to lie down for a quick snooze

Goblins wise, well-read are we,
Although we don’t know our ABC
Boasting, lying, scheming, prying
Believe all we say, will ye!

O Bar of Eodon, bar well stocked,
Cute barmaid with her ale-stained smock,
No fool she, not fooled by we,
She hit me with a lumpy rock!

Goblins now, from the bar are banned,
Thrown out the door, cap in hand,
Puking, sighing, screaming, crying,
This wasn’t what we planned!

On to the lands possessed of men,
Lands with fresh taverns to raid again,
We will drink soon, we will fight you,
Wise goblins arise again!



Wow, you read this far down? Amazing! Ok then…

What you need to know:

  • Legend has it that, at this time of year, three wise goblins will come seeking… something. Even they don’t seem to know what. Probably a good fight.
  • Gates to the EM Hall will appear in the hour before the event.
  • No guard zone events here. Come prepared to die, and possibly to be looted.
  • That’s about it. And apologies if you now have “we 3 kings” stuck in your head.

I love all the EM events, with their funny little details, but this one had me cracking up so bad I was actually in pain and had trouble typing! I've tried to curb my over the top enthusiasm, but this was too funny for just my own lil album.

Most people charged thru the 'portal' as soon as it was up, but I had to pause to get this for posterity.

Then it was a bit of chaos murdering goblin alchemists. I can't help it, goblins are just hysterical to me - I think it's the ears. And they were everywhere! Eventually we came across the Master Alchemist. He wanted booze, of course. It helps in the manufacture of yellow snow. But by this point I was laughing so hard I could not type straight, and the goblin trying to help just made my side ache with stitches. Yes, that was the password. :hahaha:

Well I finally managed to type the correct phrase and was whisked away, where I quickly hid until I could get my giggles under control. I stopped to get a pic of the idol where I landed (cuz I really do enjoy eye candy and amusing lil details). It may as well have had a giant red button on it, and my illustrious guild leader paid for his curiosity with a trip to a dark, unpleasant dungeon! I was reduced to tears of laughter once again as our helpful goblin smelled me standing there and offered a word of advice that mirrored the warning in guild chat.

Sadly, the clipboard function on my basic MS Paint glitched out and would not paste any printscreen images, so that was the end of my screencaps until a quick reboot afterwards. Suffice it to say the drop was so adorable that it sent a couple of the folks there into a frenzy of bloodlust :p

Altho, I did go back for a pic of this, cuz it just made me giggle to see the NPC's name pop up while the boss goblin flung poo at us and six people were looking for a rez.
