Doodle was an orphan raised by the church of (Pelor like god here) in their orphanage in Mor’s End. The orphanage was little more than a small building behind the church overcrowded with children but it allowed Doodle the opportunity to eat on a regular basis and sleep on a cot. Doodle was trained in calligraphy by the priest and showed some talent for painting and drawing. When it came time for Doodle to leave the orphanage he had to make a choice between staying as a scribe for the church or finding his own way; Doodle knew that him being a goblin would never allow him to be fully accepted by the church so he attempted to do his civic duty and join the militia, unfortunately for Doodle the militia decided that he wasn’t really good guard material and gave him a special discharge from the list of the city muster. Doodle decided to fight for his right to do his civic duty; he joined the city guard, but was told that he was not the caliber of soldier they were looking for, he tried to join the Outland Rangers but was courteously shoved out the door, finally Doodle found a home in the city watch when Bolius Chier took pity on him and decided to give him a chance. After a couple of days of men trying to pronounce his name (Kit’mir’rut’til’uk) Bolius told him that his new name was Doodle and that he should get used to it. Doodle is a horrible watchman, his chain shirt hangs down past his knees and is tightly belted with two belts to hold it on him, his oversized helmet is tied to his head with boot strings and almost obscures his vision and his heavy Crossbow is so large that he can barely reload it. What Doodle lacks in size and skill he makes up for in effort, no member of the watch has ever tried so hard to keep the peace as Doodle does. Doodle often works as Bolius’s secretary and is normally put to writing out watch schedules and supply orders. Where Doodle has really come in handy is in his ability to paint and draw, Doodle is one of the most viewed artists in town as his portraits are seen on wanted posters at every gatehouse in the city. He has a knack for drawing things from other people’s descriptions and can often draw a person after even the briefest of glances. Doodle doesn’t spend much time with other goblins in the city as he really just doesn’t fit in, for that matter Doodle doesn’t fit in anywhere in the city, even his fellow watchmen view him as a sort of oddity. Many of the Watchmen have taken it on themselves to get Doodle in shape and he can regularly be seen working out with other soldiers during his free time. He is slowly building the trust of those around him as he tries to fit into a world that generally hates his kind, but nobody said the life of a Goblin was easy and as long as he stays well fed and gets to sleep in a real bed Doodle will continue to do his civic duty.Plot HooksBolius Chier has gotten accurate descriptions of several of the leaders of the local thieves guild and wants Doodle to draw them for wanted posters, unfortunately the thieves guild finds out about this and tries to get rid of Doodle, Bolius hires the PC’s to protect and hide Doodle while he completes his sketches.Doodle has taken an interest in the common workers fighting for workers rights, but why do some of these activists get upset when Doodle draws sketches of the rallies?  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kit’mir’rut’til’uk (Doodle): Male Goblin War1/Exp1; Small Humanoid; HD 1d8+3 (Warrior), 1d6+3 (Expert); hp 16; Init +1; Spd 30; AC 16; Atk +2 base melee, +3 base ranged; +2 (1d6, Club); +4 (1d10, Crossbow, heavy, Masterwork); SQ: Darkvision (Ex); AL LN; SV Fort +5, Ref +1, Will +1; STR 10, DEX 12, CON 16, INT 13, WIS 9, CHA 9.Skills: Climb+1, Craft (Calligraphy)+6, Craft (Painting)+8, Hide+3, Intimidate+1, Jump+1, Move Silently+3, Spot+2, Swim-1.Feats: Skill Focus: Craft (Painting).Possessions:Weapons: Club; Dagger; Crossbow, heavy, Masterwork.Armor: Chain shirt.Goods: Calligrapher's tools, Masterwork; Painter's tools, Masterwork; Portable writing desk, Masterwork.</blockquote>
