Today's internal reference is for long time listeners, who know the glory of Stomp the Goblin King who constantly watches over the forums in our header image! Been a little bit since we did a picture based exercise. So rorrik and I thought this would be a great opportunity to do just that! This time we are tiring back to Episode 169 with GM Tim talking about goblins. Let's level up some goblins and make them more than just the bag of hit points they fall into being. 1. What is the goblin’s name? 2. What is the goblin’s nickname and how did they get it? 3. What special abilities does the goblin have? 4. How does the goblin treat the PCs? 5. What quirks does the goblin have? 6. Anything else? Grab a picture and answer the questions above to help add a new awesome goblin to the world of Dayeimbe or your own homebrew world! If there is one place to find goblins that are more than hit points its heading to World of Warcraft and Hearthstone! A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. There is no shortage, pun intended, of pictures to choose from!!

1. What is the goblin’s name? Draconan The Mysterious and Amazing, Master of the great Chromatic Beasts, Lord of Magic, The Second 2. What is the goblin’s nickname and how did they get it? Dragon Bait 3. What special abilities does the goblin have? A few ranks in animal handling, and as high a bluff as he could muster. 4. How does the goblin treat the PCs? Draconan will initially try and impress the PCs, seeing them as a chance to escape his clan that "Doesn't understand Greatness." If this works he will tell them anything he knows, eager to keep up the ruse just wanting to feel appreciated. 5. What quirks does the goblin have? Until the PCs find out he's a fraud he acts pompous puffing out his chest, standing tall and telling the party stories of his greatness. After he is found out he becomes a timid stammering mess, his brain seeming to scramble as he searches for ways to impress the party. 6. Anything else? Draconan has always had big shoes to fill, his father had been a powerful wizard, known for freeing the clan from the tyrannical rule of the great red dragon. However his son didn't have an ounce of magic instead using slight of hand bluffing his way through life. However he still tries, determined to one day surpass his father, if he can only get cantrips down pat he'll be the greatest wizard ever known!

1. What is the goblin’s name?Sfagi, Tyrant of the Wastes 2. What is the goblin’s nickname and how did they get it? Sfagi received the label tyrant after his oppressive and brutal campaign that decimated dozens of small towns and villages in the Frontier Lands between the Dinguo Empire and the Freefolk Confederacy - near the northern coast. His campaign of terror lasted years as he and his army of dinosaur riding goblins sacked everything that laid in their path. Those that survived the onslaught were enslaved, forced to work on Sfagi's fortifications or in mines to generate wealth for his fledgling Empire. 3. What special abilities does the goblin have?With firearms still being somewhat of a rarity in the world, his mastery of them has become a secondary trademark of his name... Secondary, of course, because Sfagi has built his empire on the backs of TRAINED DINOSAURS. His personal mount, a tyrannosaur from which he fires his guns, is named Overlord and a feared symbol of the army. Cavalry lancers from the backs of raptors, coelophysis and other terrifying, fast carnivores. Moving fortresses built on the backs of larger, slower moving stegosaurus and ankylosaurus. Even Compsognathus run wild through the ranks of goblin footsoldiers, overrunning even well defended positions in just minutes. 4. How does the goblin treat the PCs?As he would any other being that stands in the way of his conquests - as hostile combatants and future slaves. 5. What quirks does the goblin have?As brutal and ruthless as Sfagi is, he does seem to have a soft spot for the beasts which he has built his army around. In quieter moments, away from battle, he cares for the animals gently as if they were his own children. 6. Anything else?Maybe later

I especially like the name - Sfagi, sounds Norse to me and it sounds really cool! Greek word for carnage, actually, though I do kinda hear the Norse ring now that you mention it. I had names like Rixsos and Graxsis in my head so I went with greek

Images were not loading for me so I grabbed my own picture. 1. What is the goblin’s name? Goblin Twins. Roni the sorcerer and Mac the ranger 2. What is the goblin’s nickname and how did they get it? Their nickname is Them, as in "It was Them". When growing up the two caused all kinds of havoc and mischief around their camp. 3. What special abilities does the goblin have? Roni is a wild magic sorcerer of no little ability and Mac is a ranger hunter of equivalent experience. Both of them are very intelligent, they work as one and use their abilities in concert. Roni has a frog that is actually a polymorphed ogre, he is waiting for just the right time to change him back to his true form. 4. How does the goblin treat the PCs? Roni and Mac treat everyone as their friend, they think everybody is interesting. They are both more than willing to share a meal or some drink for a funny story. 5. What quirks does the goblin have? The twins are practical jokers at heart they love to play and have jokes played on them. The do not have a mean bone in their body, unlike other goblins. They feel life is for fun. They also tend to finish each others sentences when speaking. 6. Anything else? The twins are a unique pair of goblins, when growing up they didn't lose their easygoing attitudes in the face of constant physical and emotional abuse. They truly love life and feel everyone should be themselves. The two of them are mid-level of experience and have traveled a lot, their easygoing nature has allowed them to sell their services to a wide-range of groups.

1. What is the goblin’s name? Kiillex, Scourge of the Overfolk 2. What is the goblin’s nickname and how did they get it? While under the crux of a red dragon, and group of adventurers came to do what they do best, slay some beasties. Kiillex, known as Moag at the time, had hidden from the adventurers' onslaught until the draconic master had been defeated. as he tried to escape he decided to fill his pockets and the sound of coins and trinkets jingling brought forth the party. Moag bolted with the party in tow. But as luck has it he trips. Who lines the ground with wires anyway. as the party catches up to him, there is a groaning sound and the ceiling comes down like a column of stone, crushing the party beneath. Now Moag has a moment to think. If the adventurers can bring down a dragon and Moag can bring down the Adventurers. He must therefor be stronger than the dragon. So he began to reinvent himself, new name, new gear, and a new attitude! 3. What special abilities does the goblin have? He has an entire dragon hoard at his disposal. Not that he makes good use of it. He mostly wanders around in the hide of the red dragon which gives him flight, immunity to fire, and a breath attack that leaves his face blackened with soot. 4. How does the goblin treat the PCs? If there are small folk among the PCs, Killex will offer lordship over them. to remove the shackles that the Overfolk have on them. Those that are quite taller than Killex, known as the Overfolk, and treated with disdain and barely held back hostility. His temperament is slightly better if small folk are in the party and even better if there is a goblin. 5. What quirks does the goblin have? He seems to have taken on the personality traits of his former master. Arrogant and greedy. Which would be intimidating on a dragon, not so much on a three foot nothing Goblin. 6. Anything else? He dreams to one day travel to his homelands and create an army to drive the Overfolk from the continent and rule from his treasure pile.

1. What is the goblin’s name?Glurbuf Owstoni 2. What is the goblin’s nickname and how did they get it? before he was known as Glurbuf fish face, now they call him the Goblin Shark. Glurbuf lurks beneath the ocean waves, patiently hunting for his next meal. then he strikes from the water; either dragging the victim below the surface if small enough or cutting off any limbs he can manage if larger. 3. What special abilities does the goblin have? Glurbuf can breath underwater and has grown webbing between his fingers and toes; a gift from Pakumiro a Kuo-toa god. 4. How does the goblin treat the PCs?He will try to eat them, if unsuccessful he will flee to underwater caves where his adopted Kuo-toa tribe resides. If the PC's capture Glurbuf he is hostile but mostly cooperative, he will begrudgingly guide the PC's to the Kuo-toa lair if pressed. If the PC are on friendly terms with the Kuo-toa he will be friendly to them. 5. What quirks does the goblin have?
Glurbuf is ugly for a goblin, his face has fish-like features. He hunts like an ambush predator and lives with a tribe of Kuo-toa. Though Glurbuf lives with the Kuo-toa, he knows he is not one of them and even has unhappy memories of living above the water with the other goblins; this pushes him to act even more like he believes the Kuo-toa are expected to act. 6. Anything else?When Glurbuf was very young he was called "fish face" because he was so ugly. one day, while being bullied, he was pushed off the docks. unable to swim, he sank into the murky water where the "fish demons" swam. Pakumiro, a Kuo-toa god mistook him for one of his flock in peril gave him Kuo-toa rescue breaths. the godly water being pushed into his lungs transformed him, turning him into what he is today. The local Kuo-toa recognized him as one blessed by Pakumiro and adopted him.
