Message: <blockquote data-quote="GQuail" data-source="post: 5189148" data-attributes="member: 30709">My D&D group met, in an early adventure, a Goblin called Pob.  He was inserted at the last minute into a Dungeon adventure called "The Witch Of New Pedwich" (from, um, issue 91 or so I believe) becuase they'd wandered off-plot and needed a little nudge in the right direction.  He was an adolescent Goblin whose parents had died in the events of the adventure - they instantly took pity on him (my squeaky voice for him helped, I think) and adopted him as a sort of sidekick.In no time at all he and the Half-Orc Barbarian became a fixture, with Pob sometimes sitting on his shoulders and bellowing out insults at foes who approached them.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Pob stuck with them for about 6 months before, in a dungeon exploration in Faerie, he was petrified by a basilisk.  Cue much screaming from them and the basilisk getting hacked to pieces - and one player IRL being kinda pissed with me because he'd only just bought the Half-Orc player a goblin toy as a Christmas present to represent Pob.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Despite being only 5th level or so, they were devestated to lose Pob and were willing to go on a dedicated mission back to Faerie just to find a magical ritual they could use to unpetrify him.  On what tunred out to be a session ran on my birthday, the already party atmosphere went crazy when Pob was restored.Since then, Pob's remained a part of the game - he's currently the level 20 cohort of the Half-Orc and the ex-boyfriend of another PC.  The Goblin toy's face is even the logo of our campaign wiki, he so represents the campaign.  His one brush with death made it clear just how essential to the game he is.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /></blockquote>
