Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
I am Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
with my Big-Ass Sword and I greet you, Goblin Warlord, on this sunny
morning at the inn of Goblin Village Across The Meadow.
Goblin Warlord
I am Goblin Warlord, who has no need of
a Big-Ass Sword. I hereby return the cordial greeting of Cliched
Spikey-Haired Swordsman!
Ah, but my good Goblin Warlord, a
Big-Ass Sword is a statement of strength, a symbol of power. It is an
object that represents the determination of the wielder. With it in
hand, a leader may inspire his allies with a vision of his glory. At
the very least, it has a balance of Stat bonuses. Certainly you may
have use for one.
Goblin Warlord
That may be true. But I am not cliched.
Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
It pains me to agree that you have a
point there.

Goblin Warlord
I would like to point out that our
little weekly exercise between the Troop of Goblin Raiders and the
Defenders of the Ubiquitous Backwater Village is getting a little
pointless. I'm sending in more and more Goblins that my present
holdings are not producing enough gold to maintain my troops.
Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
I shall have to agree with your accurate observation, for
though my companions and I still are being paid gold, the amount
lately seems less than sufficient. Many a times my mind have wandered
afar to dream of greater battles and greater rewards.
Goblin Warlord
That's probably because you've already
bought all the best equipment in the area and you need better rewards
to afford better ones.

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
It is but a small feat to gather the
best of equipment considering that the quality of the wares available
is less than desirable. My companions and I require tougher
challenges, greater glory and larger shopping malls! Thus, we must
depart from this place in search of them.
I shall speak with my companions,
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace, Taciturn Female Healer and
Typical Bespectacled Mage, as soon as breakfast is done!
Goblin Warlord
Well said. I too shall depart from this
location in my quest to better myself. However, I must point out that
this is where we part ways.
Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
Oh but why, Goblin Warlord? We have
been the best of rivals!
True. But your party has gained an
average of how many levels?
Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
I modestly admit that on average, my
party has gained 15 levels.
Goblin Warlord
Right. However, I've only gained 12
levels. Our score so far is 5 wins for me and 9 wins to you - and you
won the last 2 battles overwhelmingly. I'm not getting enough
experience or loot. I need to train against easier opponents first
before challenging you again.
Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
It is with reluctance that I accept
your decision to go our separate ways. It is also my hope that we
shall meet on the field of battle again in the future!
Goblin Warlord
Well said, my worthy rival! Oh, and
before you leave, please remind Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
that she still owes me 320 gold from last night's card game. If she'd
only pay her debts regularly, I may actually afford to remain here
for another week.
