Ricki leads Kamau through the maze of narrow streets and slouching buildings that make up Goblintown.
Unlike in other parts of the city, the majority of the residents here are partly or fully nocturnal, so the streets are still busy even at this hour. However, none of them seem particularly interested in the odd pair, and there don’t seem to be any guards about at all. Kamau’s initial sense of unease gradually fades.
“So you live with this Lohk person?”
“Yeah, since I was a little baby! My mom died so Lohk took care of me. She takes care of a lot of people.”
“She sounds like a good person.”
“Lohk’s the sweetest goblin in the world! You’re gonna like her, I know it.”
“RICKI!”
A face she’s made often I think
Mom she is. Again possible that Ricki wasn’t stealing food for herself.
She might like Kamau for trying to talk Ricki out of dungeoneering. Or dislike him for making it just safe enough to delve deeper and actually get killed.
The panning shot has human-height silhouettes with goblin ears, so maybe Ricki is just small. Paws was a little taller, but still well below Kamau.
Guessing hobgobs.
Two goblins in a coat.
Or it could be merfolk. Goblintown is explained to be an area with lots of races in it xP
Duck for cover! Angry/worried (foster) mom tirade incoming!
That blood-drenched tunic is just going to stay on Kamau, isn’t it?
I like the expressiveness in Ricki’s ears. wtg
