Jig is a scrawny little nearsighted goblin-a runt even among his puny species. When Jig's patrol is ambushed by a group of adventurers, he does what goblins do best: throws down his weapon and surrenders. Captured by a party of adventurers searching for a magical artifact, and forced to guide them, Jig encounters every peril ever faced on a fantasy quest. To survive, Jig will have to find a way to combine heroism with his own goblin ideals.

After surviving an adventurers' quest against a dragon, a necromancer, and a pixie invasion, goblin Jig Dragonslayer is thrust back into the thick of things when the goblins' lair is invaded by human warriors.
