== Synopsis ==

[[Garry]] is given leave to accompany [[Pawn]] to [[The Wandering Inn]], but departs on his own after discovering Pawn has already left. On his way, he becomes lost and stumbles upon the Cave Goblins' cooking are outside of the [[The Wandering Inn|inn]]. 

[[Pebblesnatch]], having critiqued the cooking skills of other present Goblins beforehand, leads to a cook-off between him and [[Pebblesnatch]]. Garry wins handily, due to his extensive experience feeding the Free Queen with the monster meat they're cooking with.

=== Dishes Served (in order) ===
*'''Unnamed Goblin:''' Chop-and-Fry Quillfish with salt and butter
Result: Portions too small

*'''Unnamed [[Redfang Tribe|Redfang Warrior]]:''' Lurkersnatch fish soup
Result: Soup itself tasted good, but food that fights back is not worth the title of 'Good Cook'

*'''Second [[Cave Goblins|Cave Goblin]]:''' Fish-and-Egg soup
Result: Far too fishy, not enough eggy

*'''Unnamed Hobgoblin:''' Fish kebab variety
Result: Best entry up to that point, maybe a bit too spicy

*'''[[Pebblesnatch]]:''' [[Rock Crabs|Rock Crab]] soup in its own shell
Result: Barely edible. Rock Crab blood in the water didn't taste good, uneven cooking and other reasons; worst entry.

*'''[[Garry]]:''' Panini-style marinated pieces of caterpillar, covered in garlic-and-fish sauce
Result: Each bite hot and fresh, crispy outside breading, caterpillar didn't taste like caterpillar


[[Garry]] gets handed her poofy white chef's hat by [[Pebblesnatch]], as he has won the competition. Garry then enters the inn to find [[Erin]] welcoming him with open arms, with her even going so far as to call him her ''favorite Worker'', which [[Pawn]] later on asks for clarification on. She also tells Garry that he wouldn't have needed to participate in any competition to come to her inn.

Erin and Garry then cook together in the inn's kitchen, while she assures him that he's a way better cook than she is and that she'd hire him as a cook in a heartbeat.
