Droop

"'What does it mean... to be free?' - Droop"

Current Location
Droop is the Goblin bartender at the Heroes' Arms, in Phandalin

Origins
Droop was a Goblin slave, tasked with resetting a pit trap and serving his Bugbear masters, when the Heroes discovered him in a back room in the basement of Tresendar manor.

Finding Purpose
He was initially used as a canary in the coal mine but was too light to set off many traps, with Dhom being the unfortunate recipient of some pratfalls as a result. He was then placed in the care of the townspeople (i.e. Jail) before joining the party for some time, most notably through Wave Echo Cave and Phandelver Depths.

He was closest to Varhar, saving his life in the battle of Phandalin when the bell tower was destroyed by the enemy general. Varhar in turn ensured the Goblin was well equipped and protected throughout their adventures together.

Farewell
Droop left the party shortly after the traumatic events in Phandelver Depths, and took over the newly named Heroes' Arms Inn (formerly the Sleeping Giant Inn) in Phandalin as its bartender.
