Durg-Baulder's grip on the goblins, trolls and ogres had become vice-like and his bodyguards, the

swamp ghouls were merciless. Ah yes, the swamp ghouls! It is time you learned about the swamp ghouls. Goblins are nasty, and trolls are very nasty, and ogres are extremely nasty, but swamp ghouls are dreadful, ghastly, horrid and loathsome......and terrifying, and all sorts of other appalling things as well. Only Anmire, the mighty elf prince, had ever defeated a swamp ghoul general in one to one combat, so it was definitely not a good idea to fight one. Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that they suck their victim's blood......all of it.
