Gary the Goblin

One of four possible pardners coming out of the tutorial, Gary the goblin is an innocent and curious goblin who often seeks nonviolent resolutions to problems. As a pardner he involves a trade-off, in that he allows you to side-step many goblin-related combats, making the game generally easier, but in doing so he also limits your available options.

Recruiting Gary

 * Tell the bartender in Boring Springs you'll take care of his goblin problem. This unlocks the door to the cellar.


 * Once there, do not immediately talk to the goblin, but instead, grab a bottle of nurse whiskey from the crate under the stairs. This will allow you to gain access to the Doc Alice's House, once you've talked to the Hostler.
 * Speak with Doc Alice at her house.


 * Inside, on the bookshelf, you'll find a book which will give you the goblintongue skill.
 * Return to the saloon cellar and use the skill to talk to Gary rather than killing him.
 * He will then offer to join you (this necessarily prevents you from completing the quest given by the bartender).

Abilities

 * Gary knows about a variety of locations that he may reveal to you. He knows of one area in each region of the map:

Combat
Gary has the following combat abilities:

Leveling

 * Gary only levels up by eating bags of Shroom-Gro.
 * He has a base of 3*level in each state, although each level also provides an additional, variable increase to his stats, either adding (3, 2, 1), (2, 1, 3), or (1, 3, 2) to his muscle, mysticality, moxie respectively.
 * The sum of his stats per level is thus constant, at 15*level
