What do you think?

Giving you the chance to comment helpfully ..... Goblins get to 'torture' workment trying to measure out and fell forest where elves live. Given this is aimed at 8-12 year olds - kidnap (take out of reality as it were) and then tickle? with feathers? with long finger nails? 'Drown' with ducking stool? feed goblin food to make them sick? feed 'chillies' that make them feel their tongues are gone (of course they aren't, they've just lost all feeling above neck.) Feed mushrooms to make them 'see' various hallucinations for up to a week? Acknowledgement and dedication to best ideas when next book comes out.
