d100 Result

1

Uur'lok - This pesky little goblin got his arm tore off by a Hobgoblin Commander after he was caught stealing from him. He loves sneaking around and stealing shiny things.

2

Fugh - This goblin is a bit... slower than the rest in his tribe, but he's big, strong, and easy to order around. The only problem is he eats more than 3 other goblins do in a day, and he's still growing.

3

Grishnar, the Rusted Knight - Clad head to toe in rusted, scrounged together armor stolen from unlucky adventurers. He's allowed these trophies as his insistence on "chivalry" means he'll never try to take over the tribe, and he thinks he's invincible so he'll fight anybody you tell him to.

4

Crimson Hat - Clad in a blood red cap or unknown origin, and heavy iron boots, this Gob is often confused with a hob. He insists he claimed his hat from a Red Cap he did a favor for.

5

Huro-Huro - Clad in only a leather loincloth, this jungle dwelling goblin who has learned the secrets of druids. His form is slimly and almost...scaily.

6

3-Gob - 3 gobs in a trench cloak, insists since he's so "tall" he should be in charge. Very unconvincing.

7

Gully Blackwaters: Patriarch of the Blackwater clan, he has been running the swamps for his entire life. He has built his clan up on raiding, magic, and good old intimidation.

8

Tik - wears a necklace made of his own teeth. Says he wants to keep them as “spares” in case important ones fall out.

9

Iz Iz - Claims to be a great and powerful sorcerer who can bend reality to her will, but the stars are just not aligned today. Will take credit for any unexplained event.

10

Moka - A cook who has one recipe. He loves it. Others hate it. Anyone who complains doesn’t eat for the next couple days. They have no idea what they are talking about.

11

Kalo - Claims his parents were wolves. Not that he was raised by wolves, that his parents WERE wolves. Fights with no equipment, snarling and biting. Sleeps in the wolves pen, curled up in the fetal position.

12

Zarl - A practicing mage accidentally resurrected this goblin instead of his companion by mistake. Believes they are a god.

13

Trizick - a ex-bandit turned circus owner/worker when a series of nefarious plots didn't quite work out (due to his own cowardice).

14

Yameeka - a female goblin who thinks she's a gnome/halfling who has been cursed. Begs the party to help her break the curse and directs them to the wizard she believes did it (can be real or completely imagined.)

15

Pakpak - a goblin that can only say pack and carries a pack on his backpack. Will pack your snacks into your backpack if your name isn't Jack.

16

Mushroo - A shy female goblin who somehow got her hands on an old, rusty harp missing a few strings. She's a surprising natural at using it, coaxing clear notes as if it were a high quality instrument and able to play any song heard just from memory. Can be sent down the path to taking levels in bard

17

Dun bo- A goblin with ears each as big as his head. Is very self conscious about it. Has a massive bonus the listen checks. Usually to hear the whispered jokes about his big ears.

18

Makarr - a small goblin wielding a massive banner who cannot be persuaded to part with. Adopted by a barrack of orc soldiers who treat him as their mascot, he is always at the forefront of their raids, waving his banner amid the chaos. Is surprisingly lucky when it comes to surviving the battlefield.

19

King - Bedecked in a cloak and crown stolen from a stage show, he walked into the nearest goblin tribe and asserted himself as the new ruler because quote, "can't you see this shiny crown?" Regularly sends squads into nearby towns to get him "Booze and wrenches", pissing off the local bartenders and engineers.

20

Choppa - carries a device like a tiny guillotine. Sneaks into camps at night, looking for sleeping adventurers with exposed fingers to chop off and collect.

21

Tipy-Tap - One of the toughest goblins you’ve ever met. Picked on by other goblins as a child for his name, often joking about his “tiny tipy-tap feet” lead him to doing nothing but leg days. Now he’s got legs like tree trunks. Can squash another goblins head without even trying. Unfortunately his arms never got much workout so he barely has the strength to swing a sword.

22

Nit - a shadow monk with a heavy Brooklyn accent. He works as highly-trained muscle for a major crime organization which freed him from slavery. He very much enjoys his job.

23

Guillermo Espinoza, Marquis du Blancmont - This goblin is almost certainly insane, and seems to have read The Three Musketeers a few times too many. Tall boots with floppy tops. Brightly colored tabard. Rapier. Nice hat though, it has feathers.

24

Uggah Wai - The labored breathing and snot running off his chin makes you pretty sure this gob either has a head cold or the worst case of hay fever in history.

25

Gabe - Claims to be a human victim of true polymorph. He's making the best of it, because at least now he can get laid. So the women are goblins. So what.

26

Tiff and Wubb - These siblings are the goblin equivalent of tweens. They aren't armed. They are lost and cold and hungry.

27

Mah-Lohn - He just wants to make a living selling beer and cider to anyone with coin. Anyone who enters his tavern inexplicably gains knowledge of the other patrons' names.

28

Nom and Clav - These two gobs are veritable fonts of dubious knowledge. Usually found drinking together at Ploddits, Mah-Lohn's bar.

29

Gubbz - A suicidally brave (and probably insane) goblin with an unearthly amount of luck. He gets easily distracted and dodges most attacks by picking up funny looking rocks, breaking into a spontaneous dance, tripping over his own feet and stumbling out of harms way, etc. He thinks that this "protection" comes from his ancestors and thus often fights naked.

30

Old "Pink-Robes" Rutt - An elderly goblin wearing a pink, hooded robe that looks way too big for him. He wields a wand of smiles that he uses as a walking stick. For some reason it can also cast fireball in conjunction with the original spell, so that his victims smile before they get blown to pieces. He does not speak common and simply smiles widely but confused whenever he's talked to in any other language than Goblin.

31

Pinkskin - At about three feet tall, with a measly little head, and curly brown hair, Pinkskin is unfortunately the ugliest goblin ever born, with a face only a mother can love. His flat little claws barely even extend past his fingertips and break so easily.

32

Kosmos - A Goblin "scientist" whose destiny is watched over by the Gods. May one day change the world, if only she could learn to read first.

33

Shake Spear - She writes and performs plays. Unfortunately, theater isn't a highly respected art form where she is from. She wants to expand and perform in other parts of the world, but she fears people's violent racism toward goblins.

34

Glob - skintone more brownish with green spots, small even for the size of a goblin, always ridiculed and bullied, has no confidence but is in fact smarter than most goblins. Also plays the flute surprisingly well.

35

Spike - (surprise surprise) a little larger and a lot fiercer than other goblins, a foul grin with a sadistic grimace. Sports a white/black mohawk. Spike is the leader of the pack, cunning and evil.

36

Vash - A goblin alchemist who has not only managed to tame a giant vulture to fly around on, he's also figured out how to build and use guns. Fond of infusing his ammunition with all kinds of volatile compounds just to see what happens.

37

Gleb - A long time ago a goblin tribe was wiped out afterr they tried to play cards with a deck of many things. Adventurers came in and cleaned up the mess, however Gleb lived, he lived because he became a warlock to Enlil, a retired god who needed something done in Unther via XP and magic items that he got from the cards. (FR Setting ) He now travels the countryside on his trusty war pig (Pig not boar) Porkins.

38

Jot - The oldest of a set of brothers. Jot is incredibly crafty, being well spoken for a goblin.

39

Joot - The second oldest. Is a wonderful cook for goblin standards. He can a lot of unappetizing things... palatable.

40

Jooot - The baby of the trio. Despite being the youngest, he's actually the tallest as well. He doesn't do much, but he enjoys painting (with things that aren't paint).

41

Gizmit - the goblin wizard effigy master who built himself a wyvern effigy, then shrank himself down with a reduce person, which he made permanent. He now spends most of his time in a control center inside the wyvern's head.

43

Zuntik - Goblin Cleric who worships himself.

44

Bang Booyahg: A goblin trickster cleric whose essence Garl Glittergold mistook for a gnome's and accidentally gave powers. Ever since the incident Bang has become a fervent disciple in hopes to prove himself worthy of his deity.

45

Fizgit - A female goblin who travels the world writing about her journeys. Her stories are romantic fantasies, where she is the most beautiful desirable goblin in the land and has whirlwind affairs with almost every male character she meets. Anyone who critiques her, draws her ire and are major villains in her story. Those who support her are written as madly in love with her.

46

Three Crusts- As a young scout, the goblin became lost and wound up high in the mountains. Freezing and starving, he was found by a woodsman and carried to the woodsman’s small home. The man and his wife served him and another traveler up food pulled from a wooden box in the kitchen and gave them a place to sleep. In the night, the goblin arose and grabbed the box, delighted to have found such a prize. To cover his escape, he lit the home on fire and ran into the night. Once he had passed out of reach of any pursuit, he opened up the box. Inside he found three crusts of bread. The woodsman and his wife had shared all but their very last food with him, and in return he had robbed them and burned their home. The goblin flung the box down, and then was sent reeling to the ground by a powerful blow. He looked up into the eyes of the other traveler, dressed in silver armor and holding a mace. The traveler, a cleric of a goddess of justice, had managed to put out the fire before it had done any real damage, and then had come after the goblin. Rather than kill him, he declared that the goblin would serve him for three years, one for every crust of bread in the box. Over the next three years, Three Crusts served as the cleric’s servant, then his squire and friend. Three Crusts took holy orders himself shortly after the three years ended, and is now a paladin.

47

Gulzyat the Undying - This little cursed fellow is a horrible nuisance. He wears nothing but a ratty pelt from a Dire Badger with the upper half of the badger head worn like a helm and the ratty pelt acting as a cloak and an old rusty piece of full plate elbow joint as a codpiece.

The badger is appropriate because once you kill Gulzyat he seems to tenaciously come back to life at the worst of times appearing out of no where to exact a bit of revenge for his death. He is just a normal goblin for the most part so Gulzyat is not so much a physical threat himself but more about the ill timing of his reappearance.

Trying to sneak around the sleeping hill giant? Not so fast here comes that odd little goblin you thought you killed to make a racket and wake him up.

Trying to lie your way past the city guard? Guess what, the little bastard speaks enough common to pop up and let them know what you are really about.

Trying to impress a noble, hard to do when a goblin appears chanting your name and peeing on his plate of roast duck. Remove curse only works for one encounter where Gulzyat would have appeared and then he turns up again like a bad penny. A wish can rid you of Gulzyat sending him to pester someone else but the only other way is to trick some other poor sap into killing the little nob and getting someone else to take on Gulzyats ire that is currently directed at you.

48

Lokey Mogul- Serial killer, chef, and television personality! Hosts a cooking show (viewed on scrying mirrors that some rich people own) called "Gobblin' With A Goblin" in which he details the process of kidnapping, cooking, and properly serving people. Sometimes has "guest stars" (either kidnapped people or bandits) that rate his dishes. Is a powerful Illusionist that uses Hallucinatory Terrain to make his victims think they have ran into a dead end and to avoid other people seeing his kidnappings. His kitchens are usually back alleys, abandoned buildings, and other people's attics.

49

50

Boom Boom, the Pyroman(iac)cer - A slender goblin with a nasty lisp, the right half of the face is covered in burnmarks, remnant of one of his most successful experiments, as he would claim. He has a bag with him and you can be sure, one item in there is a firestarter and the rest, some sort of explosive devices. His catchphrase: "I can make ith boom boom?"

51

Zamot - an elderly goblin who believes his walking stick has been possessed by a wild(a wolf) god by the name of Ral'tak. He constantly talks to his walking stick as a result and every night he wanders out of his encampment to find a pack of wolves to howl at the moon with.

55

The Goblin raider, Mød - He is known in these parts. He finds clothes uncomfortable, instead wearing only a loin cloth and coating himself in dirt, twigs, leaves and anything else he can find. Unlike other goblins, mød doesn't really care for shiny things. Instead, he covets dark things. To this end, he carries a pouch of charcoal to darken the shiny gold coins he acquires.

56

59

Gorscrik Bleeder- A gloom hunter who seeks vengeance against a powerful Hobgoblin warlord. Gorscrik became a goblin veteran the hard way, in the massed ranks of a barely-armed and untrained horde invading Human lands.

Driven on by Hobgoblin masters and clambering over the mounds of their own dead, the wave of green swept over the north of the continent, sacking cities and overwhelming armies. The southland, fertile and lush, beckoned to the goblins. But the Hobgoblin leadership, led by High Chief Captain Druzz'defor, chose to turn the horde against the Dwarven fortress of Merget Mon-Moor.

Gorscrik, who was sent as a scout, returned and reported that an attack would be madness. In response, Druzz'defor demoted him and assigned him to the first rank of footmen sent against the Fortress, referred to now by goblins as The Grinder. Facing veteran Dwarves in prepared defensive positions, the mighty green horde was butchered brutally and mercilessly. Gorscrik, by an odd turn of fate, survived the battle, lying senseless in the sea of his slaughtered comrades. After being washed into a side tunnel by a Dwarven Waste Disposal crew, he revived and learned to survive in the hazards of the Underdark. He returned to the topworld hungry for revenge and glory.

60

Nibbler the Nilbog - This zainy crazy Jester shaman Goblin Nilbog lives alone in swamps. He is like Yoda and will just show up some nights. He just wants food to be honest, but is always down for a good joke or riddle. Will o' Wisps also HATE this guy and will back off when he is around, but he will always comment on the pretty colours. Maybe he will give some magical items or enlighten the party with hints if he is treated very nicely?

61

Hobbin of the Dirt - A loony, mud-soaked, and scratched up goblin that wanders the forests, believing herself to be a powerful druid capable of communing with the trees. Her only companion is a ferocious and blood-thirsty badger that Hobbin can happily calm with a long hug. Hobbin's (literally) insane dedication to nature has led her to powerful places unknown to outsiders, where the veil between the Feywild and the Material Plane are thin. She does not know what knowledge she sits upon or that the forest has been silently taking care of her.

62

She’s an honest worker, but is often met with suspicion from patrons due to her race.

69

Fared the Gilded - As an old test subject for the secretive magus Jordroy, Fared was constantly exposed to strange magics, often for long periods of time. It was during one of Jordroy’s alchemical mishaps that Fared had he chance to escape his cage and run to freedom, although not before being doused in a variety of mysterious reagents. By the time Fared had a chance to rest and look himself over, the entire right side of his body from knee to ear had transformed into solid gold. This gold functioned the same as his normal body, but gave him the ability to transform a tiny object into gold once per day by touching it with his golden arm. He now constantly travels from place to place, using his ability to get by. He wears a thick black cloak he never takes off so as to avoid getting kidnapped for his ability or worse, taken back to Jordroy.

70

Glizbik, The Dawn Priest - Glizbik was once a feral goblin that preyed on local travelers with his tribe, simplistic in his fondness for violence and shiny things. One day, he and his tribe raided a lone priest traveling the road. The priest pleasantly divided what he was carrying among the confused hunting party, and gave his holy symbol to Glizbik. He winked at the goblin and told him that when the time came that he wanted something more than this life he led, all he had to do was grasp the necklace and believe. Before the old dwarf could say anything else, the rest of Glizbik’s tribe attacked and killed him in the hopes they could find anything he was holding out on.

Glizbik spent the next few days in contemplation, watching his fellow goblins squabble over their petty loot and trinkets. He found himself believing that they could be better, and that he should be better too. With that belief, he clasped his amulet and heard the voice of Auphaela, The Breaking Dawn for the first time. The Goddess of the Rising Sun told him of a better way of life, and showed him visions of what that could look like, promising that she would show him the path if he would be willing to walk it.

Filled with a flurry of emotions for which he had no names, he made a promise to Auphaela that the priest’s words were not spoken in vain, and that he would guide his people out of the dust and into a life of higher ideals and racial unity. He now travels the land with a small group of goblins who share his beliefs, seeking to fill more goblins with the guiding light of the Goddess of New Beginnings. He strives to embody her tenants of charity and respect in the hopes that he may one day be able to atone for the sins of his tribe, his people, and himself. Though he sometimes falls victim to the pettier urges of his race, he always manages to quickly recover and use his power as a cleric of Aupheala to make amends.
