Snivel the Goblin
What can be said about Snivel the Goblin?
He was born a goblin, to a goblin family, doing goblin things.
For most of his life that meant surviving however he could, stealing, scraping, and staying out of the way of bigger Goblins. During his teenage years he was conscripted with a group of others to serve in a nearby wizard-run salt mine. It was a miserable place, ruled by cruel overseers and guarded by Orcs and Gnolls who found sport in tormenting the workers.
Snivel survived there the way Goblins survive most things: by keeping his head down and doing exactly what he was told.
For years he watched adventurers arrive in chains. Some came in defiant. Others came broken already. None lasted long. The mines consumed them all.
Until one group didn’t.
They broke their cell.
They killed the guard.
He was standing there, next.
Snivel knew how these stories ended. When they reached him he dropped to his knees and begged for a quick death.
Instead, they gave him mercy.
They cut his chains and told him to run with them.
When they found weapons, they handed one to him without hesitation.
When they found armor, potions, and magic items, he was treated like any other member of the party.
No suspicion. No mockery. No reminders that he was a goblin.
Just trust.
Together they escaped the mines and the dwarven fortress that guarded them, leaving the horrors of that place behind.
When they finally reached civilization, Snivel expected the spell to break. Surely the kindness would end once the danger was gone.
But it didn’t.
He was still treated as one of them.
It was a sad farewell when the adventurers chose to head south toward their next great quest. Snivel had another path to follow.
Petra Pruz Kahoki was traveling east, returning to her homeland.
They were many, and she was one.
And Snivel had learned something very important from the adventurers who spared him.
No friend should ever have to travel alone.
So east he went.
