    Default Goblin Songs

    Alright, I've recently run the We Be Goblins! module and despite a disappointing finale (the party died against Vorka and Cuddles after there was a chance for great hilarity in blowing themselves up with gunpowder trying to get into the ship) they had a lot of fun and there was talk about future goblin adventures. So I found myself reading up about goblins in Pathfinder and...the'yre freakin' hilarious! I especially love the fact that they have such a musical/rhyming tradition going on but...uh...I'm not so good at either of those things.

    Anyone got any good goblin rhymes or songs?

    Everyone loves taking slaves and singing Down, Down to Goblin Town(You Go My Lad)!

    And who can forget that classic marching song, Where There's a Whip, there's a Way!

    And this album just wouldn't be complete without Win the Battle, Lose the War, perfect for disheartening Gondormen when they march on the Towers of the Teeth.

    While...'fun'? Those are a bit too...smart for Pathfinder goblins.

    And their behaviour as described in fluff and battle-tactics doesn't match that Int score at all...

    I would suggest taking any gruesome or macabre phrase and turn it in a gleeful, sing-song jingle for the goblins to chant. An example might be "Burns the flesh, turns the wheel; peels their skin to makes them squeal!"

    Signatures are so 90's.

    Short, but catchy.


    Oh wait, songs sung by goblins, not for them. Nevermind.

    If you ever need any on a particular subject, feel free to contact me. I'm not too bad at poetry, and goblin songs are simple enough.
