D&D Amino Inktober Prompt! Day 1: Found Family. (Might post in bulk on certain days, college be like that.) A moon elf named Alfaequil, whom I play, spotted a goblin trying to steal from a merchant. The thief was caught, and currently being held and yelled at by the man, who had apparently been robbed like this before and demanded his losses compensated. Alfaequil hadn't met any goblins prior, and felt it was wrong for someone so massive to punish a poor little thing like that, regardless of race. So he stepped in, gave the money owed, and took the goblin with him. The burglar's name was Kipin, as he learned, and he was 8 years old.Now, a goblin is biologically an adult at that age, but being as clueless as he was about the race, and coupled with the fact that he was an elf; Alfaequil reasoned that Kipin was just a small child. Now determined to make a better future for this rogue in the making, he spent much time on his travels teaching Kipin all about magic. He figured it was better than him running around with a knife, after several instances of the "Let me see what you have" vine. Kipin went on to become an arcane trickster, and even though he didn't let go of his cold weapons, Alfaequil was still really proud of his adopted baby goblin. Whether he didn't notice the petty crimes Kipin sometimes committed, or he purposefully turned a blind eye - that much was never certain. Now the hard part would consist of explaining to his noble parents how their son came home with a goblin calling him father!
