"Gobbo's Famous Grubs"
Greeting Text
Ohhhhh!!!! Can't get me stew outta me head! Even with all me wins, all me glorious gambles, me just can't stop thinkin' about what they said. The mockin', the laughin', the bad bad they said about Gobbo's stew... and now they're all dead! But it's stuck in me brain! All those filthy goblins, all that bad bad... They think they got away with it, but I won't rest ‘til me plan's done. Me old favorite fleshy saved me when I was banished, showed me kindness when no one else would. But that's long time ago, and things have changed. Gobbo need you to go inside the caves, find and mark the escape routes. The ways out, the ways to freedom for green skins. Me plan's bigger than what they see... bigger than me stew... and when it's all said and done, they regret ever messing with Gobbo! Do it, and I'll make sure you get the spoils of these plan, fleshy! Heheh.

I've been workin' on somethin' big... bigger than anything they could ever imagine. Me kin will pay for all the wrongs they've done to me. And trust Gobbo, fleshy, the time's comin' soon... Gobbo's big plan's gonna be bigger than they ever thought, whizz-bang kaBOOM style! Heheh.
