I like this kid. Think I might be in the market for an apprentice after the last couple got thrown in the dungeons to rot. Or outlasted their welcomes to Skyreach. Or whatever happened to 'em. Not my job to keep track.
I've got my Nagaji Paladin of Yaezhing who's survived the first 2 parts and would love to have a goblin to run out in front ally.
We're short a cleric this time around, but do have a paladin. I can talk to the crew. It's a matter of finding someone willing to put up with goblin shenanigans and try to keep him alive despite the GMs (and my) best intentions.
Note that Yaezhing is a Lawful Evil deity of Murder and excessive Punishment. My "Paladin" is actually an Oracle. No channeling, but divine casting at least.
With all the Sczarni thugs, pickpockets, and assassins running around Skyreach and the other lodges, I don't see why I should be singled out and persecuted just for trying to practice my chosen profession on my own time.
And you can put that in your GUMBO flyers! Long live shadow lodge!
