Grizlegrom!!!

Origins of the Legend of Grizlegrom

How it all began

Those of you that are new to our group of misfits and ne'erdowells might hear us speak of Grizlegrom, the blue paintball crossbow or a stray goblin leveling up in the middle of combat. Well it all refers to the Goblin of myth and legend. His background is shrouded in mystery but some of us remember.

Four years ago...

My first attempt as a GM started with my players in a dungeon hunting down a band of goblins that had overtaken a caravan and kidnapped the caravn master's son. They explored two rooms before a trio of goblins surprised them. There were four PCs and three goblins. Two of the goblins were dead by the end of the first round. Hey, they're goblins right? Easy kills, right? Goblins are whack, right? Tell that to the surviving goblin that spent the next five turns dodging every attack and dropping two of the players.

The players gave him a name. Grizlegrom. By the time that he fell to their swords the thought of goblins being lame was replaced by the fear of the one desperite goblin warrior fighting for his life and showing what his people are made of.

The same occurance happened again 2 years later. By some weird twist of fate a single surviving goblin killed two heroes in the 4 turns it took the entire party to finally hit him. With that the Legend of Grizlegrom continued. It wasn't long before the legend grew.

To be continued...

The Grizlegrom Effect

The next occurance of 'The Grizlegrom Effect' saw a single Goblin survive an entire combat, managing to snatch one of the downed player' magical mace and scurry away. Having earned his stripes by avoiding PC killers and stealing treasure a player suggested that he'd earned a level or two. I agreed and when he returned later that session he not only weilded the stolen magic but fought like the 2nd level rogue he was. He dided a quick death but the presedent was set.

From that point on Goblins that managed to avoid dying over the course of 5 rounds fighting 2 or more PCs received 2 levels and the mantle of Grizlegrom.

the legend continues...

He appeared in the current Land of the Four: Revisited Campaign as a traveling salesman wielding a +5 Magic Crossbow that fires blue paintballs with varying effects. His first encounter saw the Druid Javen sporting a big blue reminder on his forehead to be polite to Goblins that speak common very well. The second encouter saved the party when they were in desperate need of supplies. Who knows when he will show again and will he be friend or foe.

LOL Lycant almost pissed himself.

Goblin.

Myth.

Legend.

... just saying.

Lmao. I wanted the bag he had. Can't stand goblins. They stole somethin dear to my people. And I will find it back.

For a price he might have given you some hints...

so grizzlegrom is a moment and not a person
