Forgive me, patient readers, for the long delay, but I bring you at last the SCANDALOUS conclusion of The Goblin King’s Revenge. In the last episode (which you can read here), we learned that that infamous Goblin King had left his kingdom to come to Earth. His motives, though unknown, are surely sinister. But mankind has a line of defense against such faerie beings as he: the G.O.B. Squad, a team of super-teens with the power to fight against “Genuine Occult Beings.” Under the guidance of their mentor, art teacher and occult historian Mr. Froud, the G.O.B. squad members have split up to find the Goblin King before he can carry out his nefarious deeds. Meanwhile, team leader Amber Carolinus is suffering from distraction of the amorous sort, crushing hardcore for the new drama teacher, “Mr. Quinn. “ Spotting the object of her affection in the hall after school, she leaves her friend to stalk… er, investigate him.
