* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “Redfang, eh? Good name for a Goblin! Good name. Poor for you. A not-Goblin doesn’t deserve a name like that. Or a tribe. Which is why you lost yours!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “They called me Greybeard here. Greybeard, the old, useless Goblin. Good name, though. Every Goblin needs a name. But decades ago they called me another name. Greydath of Blades. A worthy name for a Goblin. A better name than yours.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “Good! Haven’t done that in years. You were a Gold-rank adventurer, weren’t you? Strong. They must have loved you and feared you. Your team. Didn’t they? Is that why you killed them?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “What do I want? To see how strong Garen Redfang is. And the answer? Very strong. As strong as the coward, nearly. If you two fought and you had a bit more magic, would you win? You are stronger than the Goblin Lord. With the blade. Little else, though. You’d be a fine warrior in any tribe. You are the poorest of Chieftains.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “Make me.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “A poor leader. A failure who can’t keep his tribe fed. Can’t keep their loyalty. But strong. Strength would be enough. But you are no Goblin. You betrayed your tribe. Your first tribe. That’s what they called you. Even the Humans know you. Team killer. Tribe killer. Not Goblin.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “Enough. A not-Goblin isn’t enough to challenge a Lord. Not at all. If you changed, maybe. But what did you do? You stuck with the [[Tremborag|coward]], while the [[Rags|child]] ran away with your tribe. And the [[Reiss|slave]] came and you lost your tribe again. Look around, Redfang. They desert you each time. And why? Because you are no Chieftain. Not worthy. Not a Goblin.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/13/5-37-g/ To] [[Garen Redfang|Garen]]) “Good to see her. Good to remember! Good test for all of you. Especially the slave. I’d stay and greet her, but she knows me. And there’s something strange to the south. So I go. I’ll see you and the others soon.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/12/5-52/ To] himself) “What do I see? An army of lost children and [[Redfang Elite Warriors|five]] who walk Garen Redfang’s path. What will <em>you</em> do, for all those who play games with Goblin lives? And who is ''[[Erin Solstice|she]]?''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Now I see. You five are a fragment, aren’t you?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “I dreamed of five not-Chieftains. Of five seeds not grown. And I did not know why. Now I do. You aren’t independent. You’re copying your tribe. But what worked when you were lowly warriors isn’t working now. You are too large to be common Goblins, but you haven’t grown into your new roles. You are incomplete and so you are fragments. And these lost children are just like you.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Everything about you is awkward. You still move uncomfortably in your new bodies. And you—you can’t even control your class.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Not Greybeard. ''Greydath of Blades.''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Not children. Not slaves. Not traitors. And not cowards either. Fragments? No. There is a better word for you. I do not know it yet. But you are too weak. And too content.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “I watched you five for a day. Train. Eat. Sleep. Good enough for other species, but not for Goblins. You are complacent. Lazy. And it is ''her'' fault.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Who is that Human you speak to? The one who visits your cave? The one in the inn with the magic door. She is not your master. Is she your friend? A friend to Goblins? It is because of her you are holding back. You are relying on her too much.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Grab your arrows, archer. But tell me. That Human you love so much—if I tried to kill her, would you stop me? Would you fight your own kind for her? Is she your Chieftain? Or is she just convenient? Do you want to bed her? Or do you want her to turn you into ''Humans?''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Could you stop me, children? Show me what you five can do.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Numbtongue]]) “A [Bard] does not fight like that, child.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Slow, too slow! You think you’re strong because you defeated monsters? You are weak. Any Gold-rank adventurer would eat you. Show me more, lost Hobs! Show me ''strength!''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Badarrow]] and [[Rabbiteater]]) “You are weak, archer. Weak. Your arrows can kill only by surprise, only by numbers. All of you are weak. [Champion]? I have seen Goblin [Champions] and they were legends.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “There is all the reason. You think you are ''safe'', Numbtongue of the Redfang tribe. But you are not. And until you believe, my work is not done. You must become more. You and all the Goblins. Even your glorious Chieftain.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “I met your Chieftain. You still think you are from his tribe, aren’t you? Garen Redfang. I met him and challenged him. We fought.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “He could not best me. I humbled him.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “If I kill her, you would not change. But if I ''hurt'' her, would you grow stronger?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Better. But not enough. Shall we make a game of it? Chase me, you five. And you five alone. Scratch me and I won’t hurt her. Fail, and I’ll cut her once.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Come! Stop me!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “You say that. But you will not. Not unless you have no choice. You are too soft otherwise. And she is too bright. You think I do not know what you feel? You think other Goblins have not met ones like her? But she is not ''forever'', Numbtongue. She cannot protect you. And worse, you cannot protect her.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “If you could, I would think twice. But happiness for one Goblin is despair for all. You must change, boy. And if it means pain, then it must be. That is why I came here. Hate me. But—”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Antinium.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Who ''is'' she? She has Antinium defending her inn. She’s tamed that one and you. What is she? Where does she come from?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Better and better! You five plus the Antinium! Come!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Look at you. The same as that hollow black thing sitting in the tower. Are you Goblins? Or just that Human’s…''pets?''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Friends? Humans don’t make friends with Goblins. Do you think you’re the same as the others? Even Antinium have a place. But we don’t. You don’t. If it came to you or her other friends, would she choose you?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “You struck me!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “That was a mistake. That was—you struck me. By accident. But you did. I will—go. But this will do, I think.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “You cannot be here. You cannot stay here. Are you Chieftains or just lost Hobs? You must decide.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfangs]]) “Because we are Goblins.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “He chose to. He could have run. He was a traitor. Reiss, a slave. What of it?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “So what? He was a Hobgoblin. One Hobgoblin.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Goblins die.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Is that all? Is that all you can do? This is why they died. Because you are ''weak.'' And you. You failed them all. You could stop nothing. Just run.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “To tell you that you are weak. To make you angry.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Rags]]) “Not you. You think I waited for ''you?'' No. I waited here. Waited. Watched. For whomever came. For you. Or Garen. Or Reiss or Tremborag. Or even—”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Because it is meaningless. Because it had to be so.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Goblins die. You think you are alone? That this moment is unique? It happens everywhere. A thousand thousand times. In every part of the world. Year by year. Day by day. Goblins die. Chieftains die. Tribes die. Lords die.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “This sword is useless. I am useless. Goblins cannot be saved by me. Or even a hundred of me. We wait for only one thing. A Goblin King.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “You ask why I waited? Why I did nothing? Because it did not matter who came. It did not matter if no one came. If I brought you to this place. If I helped, it would be meaningless. I can only watch.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Because you are not enough.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “You are weak. You must be stronger. So suffer. Die. Struggle. But grow. I search the world for Goblins who can rise. Beyond Lords. Beyond all others. I test them, goad them. But never help. A true King must rise alone.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Rags]]) “No. Velan chose his death.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “If you want to know, look back. Find it yourself. Garen searched. And so did Reiss. They found something of the past.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “It is surely there! High above. Claim it if you will. The treasure of the Goblin King. Seek the other key. The two will unlock his gift. If you claim it, perhaps you will be strong enough to follow. Perhaps not. But it is waiting. You have the key. Garen’s will. It is your decision to follow his footsteps. To succeed where he did not.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Search! Struggle! Or die. It matters not. Someday, a Goblin King will rise again. And until that day comes, I will search and wait.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Grow. Despair. Rage! It matters not what you are! A coward, a traitor, a ''slave—''all these things are what is Goblin! Be what you are. But grow!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “Find the truth. It is at the beginning. And only Goblin Kings know of it.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Rags]]) “You will not see me, child. Not until you take another step.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/02/interlude-5/ To] [[Flooded Waters Tribe|Goblins]]) “''Grow.'' And never forget.”
