A Goblin's Tale
The heroic story of a mentally unstable goblin's journey across the mysterious land of Endaul.

Our journey so far
Glubtek awakes in a campsite an hour's walk from Jeragstead. He crawls out of his tent in search of answers, but finds nothing but a dusty old crate. Inside he finds supplies and a book of tomes, which he immediately makes an addition to. "The Violating Volatile Vomit Rocket. Perfect." He says. The goblin steps back. He heaves and sputters, and not a moment sooner, violently vomits acid across the campsite.
Glubtek cooks the raw slab of meat he found in the crate and sets off for the castle. He runs into a cyclops, but he's no match for the Violating Volatile Vomit Rocket. The goblin takes the giant's hand and rips a finger from it and turns it into a staff. He also takes the cyclops's loincloth and turns it into a cowl. Night has fallen, and the castle is still a long way away. After a couple more hours of walking, Glubtek finally makes it to the front door. He tries to vomit, but the effort is wasted. He considers digging the castle into the ground, but that would take too much time. The only other option is knocking.
Knock, knock, knock. An elderly man's voice calls from behind the castle door, "To enter my castle you must first pass the test of the wicked." He continues, "Come closer." The curious goblin strides closer to the door and a hatch pops from it. A wrinkly decrepit arm emerges from the darkness. "To pass the test you must... Pull my finger." The old man extends his finger.

I know things like this never go well, but oh well. The only thing I ask is that you try not to be completely handicapped.


This is you, sadly. You've woken up at some campsite, and you have no memory of events prior. All you know is that you're going to need a name, but what should it be?

Zak?
Mool?

I dunno I thought of those when I looked at him.

Bobo, son of Momo, champion of Toto.

Glubtek, lord of debauchery and evening bouts of tea.

At least, that's what you wish you were.



Rickard the Rectum Ravager
Anderson the brown town Avenger
Bill the Butt Bomber


You've taken to calling yourself Glubtek, lord of debauchery and evening bouts of tea. You crawl out of your tent and find yourself here.
What do you do?

Try opening the storage crate.


burn down Jeragstead
You ponder burning down Jeragstead. You can't possibly do that yet, maybe later.

Try opening the storage crate.


You open the crate to find these inside.
The top section consists of non-class items. These will be for any and all classes.
The bottom section consists of class items. Whichever item you choose decides your class.

Wizard/Mage - Book of tomes: This book will allow you to cast, create and document various spells. Note: Does not come with wizard beard.
Thief - Pair of daggers: You've taken to the art of thievery. This allows you to plant quicker and stealthier attacks and actions.
Bard - Lute: This lute comes with a sissy getup, and a handbook of magick poems and songs. Much like the mage, you can create your own, each with their own magick effects.
Warrior - Sword and shield: Armed with a sword and shield, your attacks will be strong and true.
Archer - Bow: It's a bow that comes with a quiver of 10 arrows. You'll be proficient with ranged weapons.
Barbarian - Club: With a raging bloodlust, you will be skilled with blunt weaponry. And dumber.


What do you do?

Is it possible to take multiple class items and use them as appropriate? (thinking three or so in particular)

One only. Taking none will still leave the option, but you'll just be an average goblin until you choose.

Holy stuff become a mage and make a spell called "The Violating Volatile Vomit Rocket", which makes you puke projectile acid.
