A Sprinter's Guide to Goblins was a book that dealt with various types of goblinoids and suggestions on how to avoid them, penned by Colin Meringue and published sometime in or before the late 15th century DR.[1]

Content[]

Let's talk goblinoids. Your standard goblin is well-armoured and conniving, and while not the best strategists, they are deadly in bigger groups. Hobgoblins are where the species get disciplined. Smarter, stronger, and as mean as a bag of hedgehogs, hobgoblins are natural leaders for their kin. Bugbears are as tough as ogres, only shrewder, and they can be unnervingly quiet when they want to. Avoid these sleuthy bruisers.

Me? Har!

I avoid 'em all, chum.
— An excerpt from A Sprinter's Guide to Goblins[1]

History[]

In the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, copies of Colin Meringue's A Modest Guide to Sword Coast Wine could be found in the city of Baldur's Gate. Nansi Gretta sold the book in her Lower City shop, The Bibliophile; a copy could be found in the library of The Lodge, the Baldur's Gate chapter of the Society of Brilliance; and it was found in the Crimson Draughts potionmaker's shop.[1]
