Goblin
Appearance
Vaskrikk is a narrow, elderly goblin whose body seems assembled from twigs, wire, and stubbornness. His skin is ridged like old tree bark across the shoulders but soft and translucent around the hands, where blue veins pulse in time with distant, inaudible music. He moves with a dragging, arthritic shuffle until danger appears, at which point he becomes startlingly quick, folding and unfolding like a pocket knife. His ears are long and torn, his nose has been flattened by an old cave-in, and his smile reveals several silver teeth that he claims are inherited. The contradictory impression he leaves is that of a frail, nearly skeletal hermit who somehow occupies a room with the authority of a much larger creature.
“A dry, papery voice with precise consonants and occasional overlapping whispers. He speaks slowly when telling the truth and rapidly when trying to make a lie sound like a lesson.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin crack runs from his left temple to the corner of his mouth, glowing faintly whenever his patron speaks
His silver teeth are engraved with the names of dead clan members
One ear is pierced by a tiny iron key that he never removes
His shadow sometimes points in the wrong direction
He has a second, much smaller set of fingerprints on the palms of both hands
Voice
“Thin, resonant, and unexpectedly gentle, like a cracked bell heard through a stone tunnel”
Clothing
A patched charcoal robe worn beneath a sleeveless coat of stitched mole hide, wrapped in faded blue cords marked with goblin funerary knots. He wears a child-sized brass helmet as a shoulder guard and carries a mantle lined with pages of stolen legal contracts.
Body Language
He keeps one shoulder raised as though shielding an invisible companion. His fingers constantly sort pebbles by size, and when lying he becomes perfectly still. In combat, he crouches low with his head tilted toward sounds no one else can hear.
