James, Mike and Paizo folks et al...
(and I am not forgetting you Nick, it is the Month of Logue after all)
My wife has posed an interesting question. I know how goblins are handled in Burnt Offerings, but she has asked if you are doing an...overlord of Goblins...a Goblin King if you will for goblins elsewhere in Varisia/Golarion. See link below...this is what she means.
I would definately site this movie in particular as a part of your inspiration for Golarion Goblins, with a much nastier streak and pyromanical tendencies. Thought it would be interesting just to ask.
"I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."
Ah, such a good movie.
Will he remind us of the baby?
What babe? ;)
The babe with the power ^_^
What power?
Who do?
Do what?
I could BE the Goblin King, I ask for so little :) I just have the hair for it but my horns are cool and I have that cool orange piercing gaze...Just say the words :>
<-- <Dance>
Ah yes can see him now. The goblin King Jared, with the ability to summon magical crystal balls, sing 80s hits, and dance. I love it, where do I buy my copy. Course the only problem...well not really a problem is that nobody will ever be able to kill Jared. He's just to kewl. Have to find some sort of role-play aspect to beat him.
"Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that the child be taken. I took him. You cowered before me; I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?"
Hmmm. Where does one find the Goblin King? He's clearly more a creature of Faerie than of goblinkind, a being of magic and shadows, living in fantasy and visions...
I just don't see the goblins of Sandpoint knowing such a creature as more than a legend. Such a being is beyond good or evil: The Goblin King exists to test the limits of the will and the power of dreams. His magic couldn't survive the transformation into a mere stat block.
I've always wondered if Jared was related to BOB from Twin Peaks, due to the whole owl thing they have going.
