Dori: "Look out!?!"
They came at us like locusts, swarming around us. Then they started to lay their grimy hands on us, removing our weapons. They began to grab us one by one, they even pulled me away from Anya, I tried to hold a firm grip on her arm but they were resilient. I saw one of them haul the girl on her feet by pulling her long hair, how dare they touch her. Before I could react she started to defend herself by shoving & punching them off. That's my girl, I could not help but feel proud. The others tried to fight them off but they were too many & we were outnumbered as it is. Curse it! We crossed the bridge still resisting, trying to remove ourselves from their filthy clutches. Anya was behind me & I could tell that she wasn't happy with the present situation like the rest of us. CLANG! CLANG! Ow! What was that horrendous sound? Bifur, who was in front of me was covering his ears, who could blame him. The horrible sound continued as they pushed us forward. I glanced about me, this place was crawling with goblins in many shapes & sizes. Then we could hear someone singing. What the!?!

"Clap, snap the black crack!
Grip, grab, pinch & nab!
Batter & beat!
Make them stammer & squeak!
Pound, pound far undergroundddd...
Down, down, down in Goblin Town..."

Ugh! The words weren't even rhyming making my head pound. As we got closer to the source of this singer, behind me I heard Anya's gasp in shock.

"With a swish & a smack & a whip & a crack!
Everybody talks when they're on my rack!
Pound, pound far underground...
Down, down, down to Goblin Town..."

There standing before us was no doubt the Goblin King. The ugliest looking creature by far & the worst singer, ever! We felt repulsed as we were standing directly in front of him. I noticed just as he reaches the last line of the song his minions joins in chorus.
'Down, down, down in Goblin-Town!'

"Hammer & torch!
You won't last long on the end of my prong!
Clash, crash, crush & smash!
Bang, break, shiver & shake!
You can yell it & yelp!
But there ain't no help!
Pound, pound far underground...
Down, down in Goblin Townnnnn!"
