”Do you have shinies? I must amass shinies for my tribute!"
Mud is a reddish brown kobold with tan spots and a soft earthy brown underbelly. His eyes are outlined by a mask of dark brown colors that doesn’t quite link the two eyes together. The same color also decorates his hands like gloves, his feet like socks, the sides and tip of his tail as well as his sides as lines and streaks. As per standard kobold biology, Mud stands at 3’6 and weights in the area of 55 pounds, but he makes up his small size with his incredible endurance and his unyielding energy toward any tasks he sets himself to do. Mud has a high-pitched, raspy voice when he speaks.
”Hmmm... If I can’t have shinies, then a food tribute will do! Submit to me!”
Mud is on a quest to prove to his clan that he can and will become the champion of the kobolds! To do so, he figures he must find a dragon, as they are powerful magic beings of great importance in the kobold religion, and have them give him the powers he requires to become the most powerful kobold that ever existed! In order to achieve this goal, however, he knows he must provide the dragon with a tribute worthy of such powers so he sneaks around and steal shinies to amass a hoard as an offering. Failing finding such precious objects, he also tries to gather a tribute of food as he knows dragons enjoy eating!
”Hey! Don’t untie yourself! What are you doing?! Ah! Let me go!”
The problem that Mud keeps having however, is that despite his unwavering will to complete his quest, his inherent ability at sneaking up on people and either stealing their shinies or ambushing them to offer them as food tribute to a dragon he has yet to find, he lacks the skills and proper equipment to go on an adventure like this and the experience to avoid the dangers that many would find obvious. As crafty as he is, he often finds trouble more than he finds tribute.
Things of varying importance:
Accumulated tribute:
-A few coins of various realms
-A few shiny rocks he found on the ground
-A few shells that are particularly pretty to his eyes
-A large bracelet with a gem set into almost as large as the kobold himself
-A few more coins of gold, silver and bronze with bits of precious metal as well
-A piece of shiny foil
Current equipment:
-A wooden stick, crudely sharpened with his claws
-A few lengths of ropes, crafted by him with barks and leaves
-A very tattered set of leather armor, barely offering any protection
-A large bag containing the equipment he's not using, his food rations as well as any tribute he has amassed.
