Luuprak is a biological oddity- he’s half-goblin, half-halfling (or "Gobling"). He never really fit in in the town where he grew up, and his father sent him to live with his mother’s tribe on reaching puberty, but that didn’t work out either. Luuprak isn’t the smartest, or very fast, or really very tough, but he’s got a lot of heart. He wants to be important and accepted, and has taken to hanging around inns where adventurers visit, looking for a master to take him on and teach him the way of being a warrior. Luuprak is an opportunity for one your characters to take on a Squire or hireling, and he won’t complain (he’s lived with goblins, no matter how your PCs treat him, he’s probably had worse). He’s loyal, and tries hard to reach his capability. Luuprak doesn’t even want to be paid much- a silver a week or so, and his food and board, and he’ll polish your armour, sharpen your mace, and pick apart your rope to make lots and lots of string, which is surely much more useful, right? Luuprak’s parents met while working in the Thieves’ Guild, and formed a brief but friendly partnership. However, the relationship didn’t survive their mutual retirement, and Luuprak’s mother went home to her goblin tribe outside the city, leaving the youngster with his father, a locksmith and clockmaker. They still keep in touch and are on good terms, but have no interest in rekindling the relationship. They still exchange greeting cards once a year. Luuprak’s mother is sent whatever copper pieces he amasses, as well as regular letters telling her how he’s going, and where his new friends have taken him. If they’re not careful, they may get a stern visit from a grumpy and wizened goblin shamaness. Statistics: Luuprak is a 1st-level half-goblin (treat as a halfling) Commoner. He’s not going to do anything ground-breaking, but he’s decent for carrying stuff, holding things, and licking- no, looking after- the horses. Even if there are some cultural misunderstandings, he should be amusing to have accompany your party. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 11 May 2018) Categories All Comments are closed.
