Wow. And here I was thinking I'd already read these just because I posted, but it turns out I'd only read (and posted about) one of them.
Now I know what I've been missing! :D
Dream, I've always known you were a great writer, but now that I've read more than contest entries, I can say it with a *bit* more enthusaism.

After reading these, I wrote your name next 'Epic' in the dictionary. The mountain one is probably my favorite one here, but some of these are simply classics (such as Don't Eat the Chicken). :P
I also notice that this thread is very nearlyy two years old. Congratulations!

Bump.

Hey, look at all this activity! My Word!
Fargrist, Veran and Mr. Malko*itch, thank you very much for coming (back) and reading some of these (again). I'm so happy they (still) succeed in being able to entertain.
Malko, I must say that Wino the Rhino is the one I'm most pleased with out of all of them, even though it's least attached to RuneScape. Veran, I had no idea that you'd not read these before, but I'm thrilled that you've now discovered all that I've collected over the two years.
Wheee! Two years already. Happy birthday to the Assorted Tales. :)
Finally, Leela, thanks for the bump. :) You're absolutely right that I'm excited about activity here!

Tap-tap-tap.
"Settle down, citizens. Quiet now, please."
The scene is a huge cavern, well lit with glow orbs. Several hundred goblins are sitting cross-legged on the floor, now in well-behaved silence as they gaze dutifully up at the Scribe upon the raised dais at the head of the meeting hall.
"Brethren of Dorgesh-Kaan," the Scribe began in his usual magniloquent way, brandishing his wooden pointer as if it were a sword, "as you are entirely aware, rumours are soaring about the city that Zanik, a young goblin you are all familiar with, left the sanctuary of our caves and absconded up to the mythical surface."
The Scribe gesticulated wildly towards the voluminous ceiling above, bedecked with stalactites of every imaginable shape and hue.
"Following a twenty-three hour meeting in which the Council extrapolated in pedantic detail this unique situation we now find ourselves in, we wish to dispel any and all fantastic and trivial stories and provide you, our noble people, with the absolute and uncensored truth."
A general murmuring and muttering swelled in the great hall. They were finally going to learn the truth behind Zanik's disappearance, subsequent return, and incredible stories. Tapping the lectern once again, the Scribe leaned forwards, his deep eyes sparkling in the orb-glow.
"I now declare to you that Zanik's primary tale was true! She did find a way to the surface. She did set eyes upon the world above. The legends of a sunlit realm are absolutely true!"

The hall erupted into chaotic discussion, gasps, even a few shouts of disbelief. The Scribe waited patiently for the din to subside before he spoke once more.
"However... Quiet people, please. However, it is critically important that you understand that Zanik has undergone severe sun-shock from her exposure. Our best physicians and mages have taken her into private care for the last several days to analyse her physical and mental fortitude, and also to learn the truth of her adventures by her own words. Sadly, she has provided much amphiboly in her account, but with persistence and much repetition, an accurate story has been revealed.
"The surface is a wasteland of intense light; the sun burns without relent all that it touches, including dear Zanik. She saw nothing living or recognisable there. Complete desolation. Zanik, it seems, barely survived even a few short minutes in the fearsome sunlit realm. Our innate beliefs have been proven true, though none of us would have wished for Zanik to suffer in demonstrating them. We have therefore immediately re-barricaded all access points upwards and we urge as strongly as we may that no goblin attempt to reach the surface. There is nothing waiting for us there save rapid death and destruction."
As the Scribe's voice echoed into nothingness, the cavern became deathly silent, as if no-one dared to even breathe. Seconds crawled by as if they were hours. Many in the audience glanced upward as if the very fires of hell were about to erupt through the roof above them at any moment. Suddenly the Scribe clapped his hands, dispelling the illusion, and leaned forwards upon the lectern once more.
