Grungelglut had put off attacking the War Claws clan for a very long time, as
help was never available to him when he needed it, regardless of how many
people he had helped to gain influence. He had practiced his battle skills
while he waited, however, and he had grown quite confident with the bow. So,
he decided to test himself against their defenses. He would either prevail or
fall. He did not want to retreat from these goblins, knowing he would lose
their respect forever.

Grungelglut fought his way into the outpost, slaying their raiders, their
alchemist, their drillmaster. Finally, Grungel faced off against the champion
himself, ruler of the War Claws. The champion's tusks thrust impressively from
his jaws, and he snarled as Grungelglut made his way into his cavern,
Grungel's form silhouetted in the cave entrance as he made his way out of the
desert heat riding his loping battle warg.

"Grungel comes to dominate War Claws clanses!" Grungel said. "Grungel is
warchiefs now!"

"Then come, whelp!" the champion sneered. "You Silverwoods scums has never
been worth half a muck."

The two goblins struggled, one small, fast, and half-demonic. The other large,
strong, and possibly cross-bred with an orc. Grungel spurred his warg forward,
bounding from the cavern walls as he fired arrow after arrow. The champion
closed the distance, hacking with his legendary axe. But in the end, Grungel's
warg ended the battle with his jaws clamped around the champion's throat. It
was over.

Grungelglut cut a strip of flesh from the corpse of the champion, using his
preservative powder to keep it fresh. This would be the final addition to his
trophies, proof that he alone dominated the goblins in all of Thera. When he
looked up, he saw two young goblin women huddled against the wall watching
him. Grungel strode over and grabbed one roughly. Pulling her to him, he
kissed her mouth, nicking her lower lip with his sharp teeth. When he pushed
her away, she looked at him with awe and fear.

"Tells the others Grungel was heres. Tells them Grungel is warchiefs now.
Warchiefs of all Goblinses clanses."
