Ripcord, Goblin Tinkerer

Ripcord is the name of the goblin that operates out of the Goblin Forest Keep (aka Goblin Shack) in the forest south of The Beacon. He constructs contraptions for himself, his gang of goblins, and other goblins that travel to him to buy his wares. He specializes in prosthetics. He has replaced the arm of the goblin that was de-armed by Dardendrian with a metal prosthetic, with a wicked blade at the end. In addition, that previously armless goblin has metal armor attached straight to his body, beginning at his sternum and moving up where his neck meets his skull. The metal arm is attached to this exoskeleton, and that is how it remains connected to his body. Ripcord has schematics strewn about his workshop, including a template for a firearm and notes on a stone called Kew Stone, along with a theory for a bag that could hold Kew without exploding.
Ripcord informed "Glank" that the second golden tome was stolen by a hideous beast that struck down the goblin scouting party carrying the book. "Glank" was given information on the site of the beast attack.
