Role Playing Forest Goblins
Forest goblins are easily impressed by displays of magic, which
they associate with their gods. Unlike hill goblins, they have
something which approaches loyalty to their shamans, bordering
on respect (though will still cut them dead if their life is on the
line). ey are suspicious of anything unknown, and particularly
hateful of elves, who they will usually kill (or rather, drag away to
be tortured) on sight.
Particularly shi y, even by goblin standards, forest goblins are
notorious for being dishonest, unreliable, and evasive. ey are less
happy being trampled underfoot on their way up the pecking order
than others, and their bowing and scraping before their betters is
usually undercut with mumbled threats and insults.
