Would She accept a Goblin?
Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2014 1:17 am
I just started a 5e game with a GM who seems quite promising. My charecter is a Shou human who was orphaned by a drow raiding party and rescued by a patrol of followers of the Dark Maiden near a very secluded temple encampment. He was a toddler who did not know his family name, so the temple decided to raise him as their own. Thus, his name is Akihito Moonborn. Then, just as he came of age, by human standards, the temple was destroyed by a concerted drow attack; he was on a patrol when the attack took place and was told to flee by one of the priestesses.
What does this have to do with a goblin, you ask? Well, he hired on as a caravan guard (with the party) and they discovered signs of goblins taking their employers prisoner. He snuck up and knocked out one of the goblins, taking him prisoner. The goblin has expressed interest in wanting to live and is providing some small assistance getting the party through the goblin hideout. As part of securing this service from the goblin, Akahito told the goblin that the goblin could thence travel with Akahito and Akahito would teach the goblin a new way of life. Part of Akahito's motivation for this is remembering stories of how drow children are raised in the underdark - if a drow raised that way can choose a different way of life, so should a goblin be able to.
So, what do folks think the Maiden Herself will think of a goblin being instructed in her ways?
