Slythe, the Goblin Council of Elders' newest member, has quickly become a favorite of the Council's inner circle. Her sharp wit, infectious laugh and uncanny ability to produce fermented beverages from nowhere have made her a hit at council gatherings.
As the Council's official thief, she has been less of a hit.
"She's a whiz at card tricks," said Elder Gnarltooth, a self-proclaimed poker aficionado. "I've never seen anyone shuffle a deck that fast or pull a rabbit out of a hat with such flair. But actual thieving? She's still finding her footing."
Her espionage record so far is mixed. Her latest mission, to steal a rival goblin's prized collection of shiny bottle caps, ended when she triggered a booby trap that filled the entire cave with glitter.
"We're still working out how to use her talents," said Elder Fungella, the Council's voice of reason. "We thought a thief on the Council would help us gather intel and acquire resources. So far she has mostly entertained us with card tricks and juggling flaming torches."
"She may not be the most skilled thief," said Elder Gurglax, chuckling, "but she's definitely the most fun. Maybe one day she'll steal something useful, like the recipe for the perfect mushroom stew."
Council meetings are certainly livelier. At the last one, Slythe asked Elder Gnarltooth to pick a card, any card, and he has not seen his wallet since.
