We have been playing for the past 3 years, but the game is on hiatus until Covid numbers are lower here and it is safer so we can play in person again. Then we will finish our last adventure, preparing and have the final showdown against a God.Funnily enough this character didn't start as my character. In our first session of the campaign we came upon a small Goblin Fort in the middle of the road. We killed some of them and then accepted their surrender. I loved the DMs portrayal of their leader, Dib. I hadn't really gotten into my Dwarven Barbarian character much. I work with the DM and we spent our lunchtimes together and talked between games. After some discussion we agreed that I would take over the captive Goblin and retire my Dwarf character. I was allowed to choose any class and picked Celestial Warlock, working out with the DM that because I was claiming to be a Good Goblin so the PCs wouldn't kill me, I was visited in the night by a Ki-rin that offered me spell power if I agreed to continue to be a Good Goblin. Terrified of the big impressive creature, Dib agreed and became a Celestial Warlock and started a path to become a force for goodness. To start with Dib had little understanding of what doing good was. He soon realised the difference between bandits and Adventurers was that Adventurers travelled around more, but they both killed people to take their stuff. But slowly he learned and become a good goblin like he had claimed. Dib has good Int but low Wis, leading to unwise behavior. Dib talks about himself in 3rd person with broken common, although it has got better over time. He likes pillows and was always upgrading or collecting more. He developed a big ego and became over confidant, but hates pain and would always stay away from enemies, disengaging and fleeing any that get near him. He thinks he has a strong mind, despite having a low Wis Save. Having been kicked out of his Tribe by the Chieften for disagreeing on what the Tribe should do, he went and conquered his Tribe with the help of the party. He then (during time away from the party) conquered more Goblin Tribes and occupied a Fort we had cleared out of bandits. I made deals with a nearby noble we had previously helped and began trading with them, and making deals to protect the area, shaping the Tribe into a group for good. While on a brief trip to the faewild Dib made some deals with Fae Frost goblins, selling his hair colour, making it transparent, then agreeing give every 4th child born in the Tribe to the Frost goblins but only if we allies with their Tribe in exchange for a magic items and power. Later he found the Goblin King of the Feywild had stolen my entire Tribe and the Fort they lived in and taken it to the faewild. So the party, who all ended up with reasons to go to the faewild helped kill the Goblin King and reclaim my Tribe, but I also claimed the crown and became the Goblin King of the Faewild. We ended up staying in the faewild for a fair while dealing with a lot of problems and making alliances. The character and his interesting mannerisms, querky personality and journey of self discovery has been great fun to roleplay. I haven't had as much fun with any other characters in my 40 odd years of gaming.</blockquote>
