EP Flash: The God of the Goblins (http://escapepod.org/2005/09/11/ep-flash-the-god-of-the-goblins/)

By Eric Marin (http://www.erictmarin.com/).
Read by Stephen Eley.

The campaign had begun well. The Alarians swept south into goblin territory, and Alarian rifles quickly overmatched goblin bows and crossbows.

In just a few weeks of fighting, the goblin population was halved. The goblin chieftains realized that they were doomed without help and did the only thing they could.

They asked their god, Twenty Claw, for help
