Publisher Description

In the history of heroic quests, noble battles, and grand adventures, goblinkind has never been more than a footnote. That's about to change…

Jig the goblin was the weakest of an admittedly weak race. He was scrawny and nearsighted, and his only friend was a fire-spider named Smudge, whose loyalty was balanced by his tendency to accidentally set you on fire when startled.

So when Jig's patrol is ambushed by a group of adventurers, he does what goblins do best: throws down his weapon and surrenders.

Thus begins Jig's quest, as the group forces him to guide them through the maze of caves and tunnels beneath the mountain. Led by the arrogant Prince Barius Wendelson, their goal is an ancient magical artifact hidden here ages past. Unfortunately, Jig has no idea how to find it.

As they delve deeper, Jig finds himself facing ogres, trolls, not to mention the long-dead servants of the dreaded Necromancer, all leading to the ultimate confrontation with the dragon Straum.

This newly-revised edition includes a bonus short story: "Goblin Hunter."
