    Turns out he’s two kobolds in a trench coat. His name depends on who’s on top that day.

    The elves know me as Fi’ang Yalok. The dwarfs know me as Zoenen Hoogstandjes. And I am also known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar.

        Seriously, why are the local humans such dicks? Had a human wizard that was known as Katherine the Great by the wizard-hating dwarves, because she spoke draconic and brokered a peace between them and the kobolds. The orcs called her Katherine the Timeless, because she got ahold of a potion of heal, and a philosopher’s stone before her 17th birthday, and made herself a potion of eternal youth/ immortality. The local humans called her Katherine Lady of Death…

    For us, the opposite happened

    The DM had a list of names but forgot to delete one and reused it 10 sessions later

    Turns out the old noble is the grandpa of the guard drinking at the tavern, and therefore, they share their name

      That’s when you turn it into a running gag, and see if anyone notices before they’re clearing out whole camps simply named “Phil”.

        Lol, they didn’t outright kill all the bandits so they ran into them again several levels later. It was a fun time

      Hah, my first time, I had one of the bandits yell “Sammy!” to another, a name I just grabbed on impulse. Sammy was also one of the PC’s names…
