[color=98FB98]"Goon wasn't always most lucky goblin on planet. In goblin village, licking poison toad is good luck. Goon tried it once, but toad died instead. Goon had bad luck for long time after, and took on many quests to get it back."[/color]

The impish and shrill voice belonged to TheGreatBaGoon, a short, elderly green-skinned goblinoid who always sounded more ridiculous than he looked with the various talismans and fetishes hanging from his clothes and the pointy wide-brimmed hat which accounted for half of his height.

[color=CCCCFF]"W-Wait a second! Is that why tried to get us to lick a toad every time we started a difficult raid?"[/color] December was dumbfounded by this new revelation. Goon had been raiding with them for two years, and this was the first time she had ever heard of it.

[color=98FB98]"Of course! Why else would anyone lick a toad?!"[/color] The little goblin scolded her instantly. 

TheGreatBaGoon was a shaman specializing in fatespinning magic, which manipulated luck, and he was a fantastic roleplayer who never broke character. He always claimed to need an escort, as his character build was very inefficient. But, he also seemed to survive even the harshest situations and got some of the rarest item drops in the game, even when he went by himself. 

[color=CCCCFF]"Sometimes I really question your sanity."[/color] December met his condescending tone with a flat stare.

[color=98FB98]"Sanity boring. Goon traded it to fat man selling grilled lizard tail long time ago. Stomach more important than brain."[/color] 

While the chat erupted in wave of /lol emojis and the nearby guild members fell down in a fit of laughter. Khang wore pleasant smile and chuckled quielty, but seemed distracted. Started to approach him, when IYamWhatIYam called to her. She stared as the angelic construct she had helped create started spouting biblical verse. 

[color=CCCCFF]"Take care!"[/color] She shook her head and rolled her eyes as a faint smile played on her lips.

Khang placed a hand on the small of her back as he waved farewell to their friend. He leaned in and whispered, [color=F0E68C]"I received an alert message. It seems little Nam woke up."[/color]

Without hesitation she pulled up the main menu and hunted for the log out button. Her hand was hovering over it, when Khang stopped her.

[color=F0E68C]"You don't have to do that. You rocked him to sleep last time. I'll log out early, so just enjoy the rest of the party."[/color] He smiled warmly. [color=F0E68C]"I'll see you when you get back."[/color]

She nodded and mouthed a silent [i]thank you[/i] as he placed a kiss on her cheek and vanished.
