The trick worked brilliantly — the king, scared to death by Nok-Nok's sudden appearance, fell to the ground with a squeal. His headdress tumbled from his head and slid into the mud, pieces falling off of it into a mound of junk. "NO! I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP!" A heavy silence hung over the scene... only to explode in a roar from dozens of throats! The goblins were shouting, shrieking, stomping their feet and the rear-ends of their weapons on the ground — all to hail the daring victor! Nobody even noticed the king flee the camp without so much as picking up his crown — no doubt eager to be gone before the tribe decided to sacrifice the coward to their gods!
