About Fizgrubber

Background:
Fizgrubber, Fizzy to friends, is an odd goblin. He grew up being a scavenger, climbing trees to get at fruit or trying to sneak up on birds and monkeys. You could say he fell from that tree and hit every branch on the way down – ugly, even by goblin standards. He left his homelife of needless warmongering and raiding after hearing of a magical butterfly named Deznah, who gives magical powers to explorers and thieves. He hopes to curry favor by being more brave than any goblin ever, and so people can see that Fizgrubber is better than a horse, or dog even.

The same drunk priest that told Fizgrubber about the magic butterfly, a half-elf fellow by chance, had the most amazing weapon that he had ever seen – the majestic El Van Kurblade. He sincerely hopes Deznah will give him one in his size because it will totally be better than using a horsechoppa.

Despite being more introspective and hardworking than his goblin kin, he is convinced that any second someone will decide to stomp him like a bug. He is very loyal to friends, but in his heart of hearts he knows goblins are hated, and that people only keep him around to take advantage of his skills. As soon as he is no longer useful, they will hurt or abandon him. As such, he frequently moves to new cities. He tries to prove himself worthy the humanoids the town or city he lives in, but inevitably feels his welcome is overstayed and moves on before they can hurt him. To this point, he had been a stowaway on a boat that docked in Sandpoint recently. Noticing the magical butterfly symbol on some of the disembarking crew, he decided to follow them back in to town to learn more about Deznah, and perhaps cut a few purses.
