Knob Goblin Master Chef
From A KoL Wiki
He assaults, peppers, parsleys, sages, rosemarys, and thymes you. Argh! Ow!
He starts to throw a cleaver at you, but breaks into tears when you make fun of his little hat.
He swings a frying pan at you, but you leap out of the way. Into the fire. Except for the 'into the fire' part.

- "Out of the frying pan and into the fire" means that someone has gone from a bad situation to a worse one. There is a Meat Loaf song by this name.
