Background (Outlander)
A goblin from the Blood Tree tribe, Gibbet and his tribesmen were setting up traps within the forest until they were chanced upon by the party, now known as Champions of the Obscene.  The party was victorious and only decided to keep Gibbet alive because they thought they could extract more information out of him.  However, as Gibbet was quite low in the hierarchy, he could not offer anymore information than what he already knew, despite threats from Deltus, Zain and Bryseis.

Anaris having decided that he had enough of the goblin's antics and that keeping him around to be useless decides to free Gibbet and let him go.

Gibbet fled back to his tribesman and informed Rugmak the Chieftain of the Blood Tree tribe about the party of adventurers that waylaid the goblins.   Rugmak in turn informed Maggrot about this.
Maggrot dispatched several more tribes of goblins closer to the Town of Farswell thinking that this should be enough to deal with the pesky adventurers.

The adventurers however succeeded in defending the town of Farswell from Maggrot's initial invasion.   This dismayed Maggrot and Rugmak greatly.  Maggrot stepped up the patrols within the forest in a bid to capture them and Rugmak grudging obliged.

But when more goblins turn up dead, Rugmak has decided not to risk losing his entire tribe to a bunch of adventurers.   During a chance encounter, Rugmak negotiated for a truce with the party and it was here when Gibbet once again is reunited with the party.   This time, Gibbet's task is to guide the party safely to the Green Knights Fort by avoiding the traps set by other goblins.

Even after Maggrot was ultimately defeated, Gibbet choose to remain with the party as he is often rewarded with packs of rations or berries he could gorge on.  His chieftain Rugmak does not appear to care much about Gibbet not returning to his old tribe.


Personality
Gibbet is cowardly and conniving.  He is willing to do anything as long as it keeps him alive and well fed.  The only reason why he has not turn on the Champions of Obscene even though they do not treat him with respect is because he gets a steady supply of food.  Gibbet remembers what it was like having to hunt for food and having to share with other goblins.  Whether Gibbet will come to expect more from the party remains to be seen for now....
