You know, these Etherian Goblins are nothing like my people. Really rowdy bunch. Not that my people are much better...
Goblin parties are a lot like humans. They both have games like "Pin the Blame on the Human" er... I don't play that game at my parties.
All this rainfall makes it hard to see. I should tinker my goggles with a pair of windshield wipers.
Humans are a lot taller than goblins. When it floods, we are always in big trouble!
I'm working on an invention that will harness the energy being released around us!
Most goblins hate thunderstorms. Probably because they carry so many spiky balls.
This weather is the reason why I wear goggles! I can't have dirt and sand blowing in my eyes.
Now would be a great time to tinker a pinwheel accessory!
I'm working on a Photon Sack. It's an invention to trap all the ghasts lurking around outside!
The constant moaning and ear-piercing screeching noises are distracting me from my work!
- While this NPC has no house:
I can't believe they tied me up and left me here just for pointing out that they weren't going east!
- While this NPC has no house:
Now that I'm an outcast, can I throw away the spiked balls? My pockets hurt.
- While this NPC has no house:
Looking for a gadgets expert? I'm your goblin!
- While this NPC has no house:
Thanks for your help. Now, I have to finish pacing around aimlessly here. I'm sure we'll meet again.
- While this NPC has no house:
I thought you'd be taller.
- While this NPC has a house, While the Mechanic lives in the world:
Hey...what's the Mechanic up to? Have you...have you talked to her, by chance?
- While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While the Stylist lives in the world:
I tried to visit the Stylist one time. She just looked at me and said 'nope.'
- While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, At night:
Hey, does your hat need a motor? I think I have a motor that would fit exactly in that hat.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, At night:
Yo, I heard you like rockets and running boots, so I put some rockets in your running boots.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, At night:
Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, At night:
YES, gold is stronger than iron. What are they teaching these humans nowadays?
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, At night:
You know, that mining helmet-flipper combination was a much better idea on paper.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, During the day:
Goblins are surprisingly easy to anger. In fact, they could start a war over cloth!
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, During the day:
To be honest, most goblins aren't exactly rocket scientists. Well, some are.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, During the day:
Do you know why we all carry around these spiked balls? Because I don't.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, During the day:
I just finished my newest creation! This version doesn't explode violently if you breathe on it too hard.
Not confirmed - While this NPC has a house, While no Mechanic lives in the world, While no Stylist lives in the world, During the day:
Goblin thieves aren't very good at their job. They can't even steal from an unlocked chest!
