Encountering Goblin Grunts

Goblins are savage, primitive humanoids found throughout Tamriel. They live in clan based societies ruled by the strongest of them in a hierarchy of might-makes-right. Goblins have green skin, yellow-slitted eyes, large fangs and elven ears, and stand at the height of around a man’s chin.

The most common goblins are cave goblins, which dwell in caves, sewers, ruins and other subterranean lairs. They typically build simple but deadly traps, and construct minor fortifications in their underground bases.

The other main type of goblins are the clan goblins, which dwell as nomads on the surface world, hunting and raiding as necessary. Clan goblins are far larger and stronger than their underground cousins, so naturally pose a much larger threat on the offensive than the relatively diminutive cave goblins, who typically have the advantage on the defensive instead. Goblins are known to train the dog-like Durzogs for battle, and raise rats for their meat.

Loot

• A goblin has on its person what it is equipped with, in addition to about d4 drakes worth of junk weighing about 1 ENC.
• A character can make a +0 Alchemy test to harvest a goblin ear, which is an Uncommon Destruction ingredient. If the character succeeds with more than 1 DoS, they harvest two ears instead.
• Goblins are likely to have treasure stashed somewhere in their den. At the GM’s discretion, the characters can make a number of rolls on the Treasure table the GM feels appropriate for the den.
