  • 07.075 The Great Goblin was there with thirty or forty armed guards.
  • 07.084 when the goblins came down from the hills

  • 07.131 The goblins,’
  • 07.132 It was difficult to think of pursuing goblins behind,
  • 07.132 and the cries of goblins.
  • 07.151 and they are simply stiff with goblins,
  • 08.004 as heartily as they had hated the tunnels of the goblins,
  • 08.038 not of goblins,
  • 08.054 not caring if it was trolls or goblins.
  • 08.144 for Wood-elves were not goblins,

  • 14.040 and the goblins were at council
  • 16.031 and goblin wars,
  • 17.041 The Goblins are upon you!
  • 17.044 Upon one side were the Goblins
  • 17.044 Ever since the fall of the Great Goblin
  • 17.045 the Goblins were the foes of all,
  • 17.045 Their only hope was to lure the goblins into the valley
  • 17.045 if the goblins were
  • 17.048 the goblin army had gathered
  • 17.049 in a goblin charge,
  • 17.049 for a sweeping stroke by a goblin swordsman.

  • 17.050 The rocks were stained black with goblin blood.
  • 17.051 Just as the goblins were recovering

  • 17.054 The goblins gathered again
  • 17.054 goblins of huge size with scimitars of steel.
  • 17.056 by the goblins above;

  • 17.059 Already behind him among the goblin dead
  • 17.059 with goblins
  • 17.061 before the goblins win the Gate,
  • 18.003 Looking into the valley he could see no living goblins.
  • 18.021 The Eagles had long had suspicion of the goblins’ mustering;
  • 18.021 who dislodged the goblins
  • 18.023 and goblins from his path
  • 18.024 Then dismay fell on the Goblins
  • 18.024 that three parts of the goblin warriors of the North
  • 18.042 and the goblins overthrown,
  • 18.043 but now that the goblins were crushed,
