uniqueGoblinHumanoid
Gristleburst is a chaotic-neutral Goblin alchemist whose reckless experiments are as likely to start a fire as to win a fight — a useful, volatile ally.
Hooks
- When the heroes are following a treasure map through a dangerous wilderness, Gristleburst agrees to show them a safe path in exchange for a share of the loot.
- The heroes are hunting an arsonist, and Gristleburst can help identify blast patterns and accelerants the arsonist used to set the blaze.
- Gristleburst's reckless alchemy inadvertently sets a stand of trees or a building on fire, and he needs urgent help to put the fire out before it spreads.
