Alergast flew into a rage, and as he started tearing apart the closet in an attempt to get at the goblin, Amele panicked and fled the house with her children to seek out the PCs for aid.ĬREATURE: The goblin in the Barett house is a commando named Gresgurt who sneaked into the building after the raid turned sour.

Alergast attacked the goblin and chased it back into the closet, where it clambered into a hole it had cleverly hidden under an old fur. Petal was dead, a knife deep in his ear, and the goblin was frantically trying to chew off Aeren’s arm. When Alergast burst into the room, he found a goblin crouched on his son’s chest. Amele pauses, takes a breath, and then shows the PCs Aeren’s arms. This time Aeren wasn’t just having nightmares. But then, a few moments later, they heard poor Petal cry out in pain and Aeren’s screams turn shrill. She goes on to say that last night Alergast didn’t go to soothe Aeren when he had his night terrors.

Yesterday, Alergast threatened to make Aeren sleep in the woodshed if he couldn’t learn to “be a man” and sleep through an entire night without crying and telling stories.Īll of this is told to the PCs by a tearful Amele Barett several evenings after the goblin raid she approaches the PCs in a panic, clutching baby Verah to her chest with one hand and clinging to the back of Aeren’s shirt with the other. Alergast checked the closet dutifully but found nothing, and ever since, the kid’s complaints about the “closet goblin” have grown more and more tiresome to his parents. Every night, his howls of terror send Petal into a barking fit, and when his parents investigate, Aeren claims a goblin came out of his closet. They were present at the Swallowtail Festival, where Aeren saw a goblin light a cat on fire and then caper around the burning remains-the poor boy really hasn’t been the same since.

Alergast and Amele Barett are a typical Sandpoint family, with two children (little Aeren and baby Verah) and a loyal family dog named Petal.
