IIRC the goblin doll thing is supposed to be a prison for the spirit, and is given to the client. Very much an example of a charm from Path/Book magic or RPM. I would not be surprised to find out that you have to keep bribing them to keep the spirit working for you, though. I have NEVER heard of them exploding when angered.

Zimbabwean goblins are obviously a lot more volatile than Canadian goblins. It may be related to diet. Too much poutine makes for a plump, slow-moving, non-explosive goblin. |

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
I'm kind of curious how the guy who bought the goblin thought he heard about its increasingly difficult demands.
(I'm guessing that the guy who made the doll was asking for larger and larger amounts of money or valuables to be "sacrificed" or sent somewhere.) |

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
I'm sure it was a scam that got out of hand. I just hope it wasn't a lethal distraction to "get out of Dodge" before they were discovered.

Russians are training their military priests to deploy a mobile temple by parachute. Apparently Warhammer 2,000 is here, in real life. Last edited by vicky_molokh; 02-28-2013 at 03:23 PM. |
