During Call of the Ancestors, his village is threatened with complete annihilation by the airut. He decides that he has had enough and wishes to show them that goebies are not to be messed with. His predecesor created a pile of wood that is required to prepare the village, but he cannot get to it by himself, so he asks three young goebies - Lunch, Peck, and Tunks - to get the supplies for him, using their unique skills. He then sent the trio off to find some poison which would weaken the airut during their impending invasion.
