The Birdcruncher Tribe
Status: Unknown
The least aggressive of the tribes local to Sandpoint, the Birdcrunchers are located near the western edge of Devil’s Platter and have no hero (or at least not as far as we know).
The Licktoad Tribe
Status: Unknown
The Licktoads are known to be excellent swimmers (hence the… name?) and are located somewhere in Brinestump Marsh. They do have a hero. Or at least something like it. His name’s Vodka (sp?), and apparently he’s a cannibal. An alcoholic cannibal?
The Seven Tooth Tribe
Status: Wiped out
The Seven Tooth are located in Shank’s Wood and are the ones who raid Sandpoint’s junkyard, but really the past tense would be most appropriate here as I’m pretty sure they’re completely wiped out at this point. They’d thrown in their lot with the Thistletop tribe even before we killed Koruvus (their erstwhile hero) down in the Catacombs of Wrath but that didn’t end up working out so well for them (unless having to choose between being eaten by a bunyip or sacrificed upon a super creepy altar sounds like fun), and then we showed up.
The Mosswood Tribe
Status: Unknown
This is reputed to be the largest of the goblin tribes local to Sandpoint with a hero named Big Gigmut (a hobgoblin who rides a wild boar?) but I can’t say any of this for sure because we’ve yet to go and check. Probably ought to be next on our list.
The Thistletop Tribe
Status: Wiped out
Is dead. Like all dead. Like super dead. Ripnugget was their hero, with emphasis on the “was” because he’s dead. He battled us astride a giant war gecko (I kid you not), which is now also dead. Lyrie the disaffected goth wizard? Dead. Bruthazmus the besieged bugbear ranger? Very, very dead. Nualia’s three scary yeah hounds? Dead, dead, and dead. Nualia herself? I am happy to report that she is dead. That superscary bigass tentacle monster in the creepy bonecave downstairs? Dead. That bizarrely large battlecrab (are you sensing a theme here, ’cause I sure am) we found waaaay back in the old treasury down in the cave even deeper downstairs? Dead. Those three undead shadow thingies in the crypt we found way down there too? Decidedly un-undeaded.
It’d be easier to list who and what *didn’t* die. We let the goblin druid Gogmurt go, but only after killing his scary firebeast Tangletooth cat thing and stripping him of all of his gear. We let one goblin from the first gaggle we found out in the briar patch go, but only after killing all of his compatriots and then interrogating the crap out of him. We let Orik the sardonic sellsword walk after interrogating him too. We found Tsuto’s room down in the first level of the dungeons but of course he wasn’t there ’cause we’d captured him ages ago. Oh yeah, and we bound and gagged one of the goblin concubines interrogating her and then locked her in the room in which we foun –
Shit. We left her in there. SHIT. We left those goblin babies locked in their nursery too. And the bunnies! Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Well damnit. Looks like we’re gonna have to head back. I’m no big fan of goblins, but leaving her and those babies down there to starve to death is just not right.
