Gobtober 31: Commoner

One of the many goblins that hasn't picked what vocation she'd like to have. Might she take up an apprenticeship? Or maybe she'll be the next great adventurer! The world is a big place, ready to be full of goblins!

[shy-raccoon]

Person A is a commoner locked in a tower. Who has no hope they will ever be rescued because they don't have the land, money, or status to be worth rescuing.

Person B is one of the few truly good knights who applies the code of chivalry to more than just the nobility.

☁️Ouran Highschool Host Club: Haruhi x Commoner reader headcannons☁️

Her first thought is, "Finally, someone who is actually kind of normal!"

Shes actually so glad someone can understand her struggles, especially when it comes to the host clubs eccentricities...

She doesn't push you to visit her in the host club, but if you want to visit she'll give you a discount. (Don't tell Kyoya)

Haruhi avoids the host club like the plague when shes with you.

She just knows they'll say something stupid that will drive you away from her, and she likes you too much for them to do that.

Really, the only host club member that she's okay with barging into your dates is Mori-

You guys go on a lot of picnic dates, or just other simple dates where you can just talk to eachother and enjoy the others company.

She definitely trusts you a lot, and you were to quick to know that she was actually a girl when you first met.

Tamaki is actually so jealous of you.

Kyoya's tired of his whining.

Her favorite gift to give you are red roses, she thinks they are romantic. She also just loves when she comes over and sees them still being taken care of, she likes to know you're thinking about her. :))

Haruhi thought about you the whole time during the dance, she wished it was you she was picked to dance with. :(

Conscript - CR 1/4 Commoner

Armor is too expensive for these troops. If you want them to last longer, just conscript more of them.

Artwork by mannequin-atelier on DeviantArt.

In much of the middle ages, an army's composition heavily relied on untrained soldiers, recruited from the normal commoners in nearby towns. These men were often armed with only the weapons and armor they brought from home, or possibly with a simple helmet or wooden shield. The weapon of choice for such conscripts across most of history and most of the world was polearms, due to their ease of use, superior reach, and cheap manufacturing compared to a mostly-metal weapon like a sword.

I was pretty surprised that I couldn't find a stat block for a level 1 commoner in the NPC Codex or any other official Pazio book that fit this kind of idea. The basic CR 1/3 foot soldier from the Gamemastery Guide is a warrior, not a commoner, and has chainmail, three backup weapons, and a healing potion. There are some other level 1 commoners, but they have improvised weapons, aren't human, or are otherwise not really appropriate for a conscript. This stat block should better represent a soldier that was literally just grabbed off the farm and handed a spear and told to fight.

The longspear in its stat block has the broken condition, but it's not literally broken; it's just such bad quality that it functions as a broken weapon.

These might be appropriate enemies for a level 1 party to fight, but mostly I personally use them as friendly NPC soldiers when the players are elite special forces working with the military. You can have a unit of thirty conscripts like this, and a group of level 3 or 4 PCs will still be the heroes who have to actually do everything, without it feeling like they're literally fighting a whole war by themselves.

If you need a lot of them for a big battle, see the conscript troop stat block.

Theory Time: From Prince to Pauper

Stolas had been entirely stripped of his hierarchical status, leaving him with nothing but his first name and the clothes on his back. Once a prominent member of the Ars Goetia, he no longer holds the title, rank, or any of the privileges associated with his noble lineage. This dramatic fall from grace has left him vulnerable, both politically and personally, as he navigates a world that once revered him but now sees him as little more than a name. Stripped of power, resources, and influence, Stolas must rely solely on his wits, resilience, and whatever relationships he has left to survive in a society that no longer recognizes his authority. His loss of status marks not only a personal crisis but also a potential shift in the power dynamics of Hell itself.

So that actually means two (possibly three) things are going to happen:

1. Accomodation

The shift from “breakup” to “roommate” (until stated otherwise in the next episode) between Stolas and Blitz creates a dynamic ripe with tension and character growth. Forced cohabitation — perhaps due to Stolas’s financial struggles or need for stability until the former finds a job— pushes them to navigate shared space, unresolved feelings, and awkward new boundaries. Stolas seeking a job could symbolize his attempt at self-reliance and personal growth, adding humor or poignancy, depending on the role he takes on. This transitional phase sets the stage for deeper exploration of their relationship, as they confront their past while carving out a path forward, whether together or apart.

2. Provisions

Imagine this . . .

BLITZ HIRES STOLAS TO WORK AT I.M.P !

Just think about it!!! This could be wild. While Stolas might not fit the profile of a sharp-shooting assassin, there’s plenty of room for his contribution in another way. Perhaps he becomes the team’s accountant, someone who manages the financial chaos of I.M.P., keeping their books balanced while providing an extra layer of aristocratic flair to the office dynamics.

The very idea is packed with potential for hilarity and emotional growth. Stolas, usually perched in his palace, now navigating office politics, paperwork, and Loona’s snark while trying to feel “useful” and “valued” among the group—it’s a recipe for comedy and character development. Maybe Stolas, with his vast infernal knowledge, could even provide intel or magical guidance for missions, giving I.M.P. an edge they never anticipated.

This dynamic would also be rife with conflict and camaraderie. Blitz, always the reluctant softie, might hire Stolas out of pity, guilt, or even begrudging affection, setting the stage for plenty of awkward yet heartfelt moments. And just imagine Moxxie’s incredulous face when he realizes their newest hire is the Prince of Hell—working as their accountant.

3. Companionship

For Stolas whilst it fulfills a deep psychological need for connection, offering more than just emotional comfort—it reinforces our sense of identity, purpose, and belonging. When lacking meaningful relationships, loneliness can trigger stress responses that affect both mind and body, leading to depression, anxiety, and even physical ailments like weakened immunity or heart disease. His relationships can provide a space for mutual support, shared experiences, and growth, creating a buffer against life’s challenges.

Loona:

The episode’s ending sets the stage for intriguing character development, particularly between Stolas and Loona. With Stolas now staying at Blitz’s home, there’s ample opportunity for the two to interact beyond their usual, more distant exchanges. Loona, who often keeps her guard up, might find herself in situations where Stolas’ patience and sincerity could gradually break through her tough exterior. Similarly, Stolas, who has shown a knack for connecting with others on an emotional level, may begin to understand Loona better and recognize the vulnerabilities she hides beneath her brash demeanor.

If Blitz and Stolas continue to deepen their relationship, Loona could find herself spending more time with Stolas, which might open the door for a pseudo father-daughter bond to form (especially since he cannot interact with his own biological daughter for the next 100 years until he can see her again) . Given Stolas’ gentle nature and his experiences with his own daughter, Octavia, he might inadvertently offer Loona the kind of emotional support she rarely seeks but deeply needs. For Loona, who has a complicated relationship with vulnerability and affection, this could mark the beginning of personal growth, as she learns to accept the care and stability that Stolas might offer.

While a fully realized bond between them may not materialize immediately, the seeds could be planted as early as Season 3. Loona and Stolas, though vastly different in personality, share an underlying thread of loneliness that could serve as common ground. Moments of subtle warmth, shared understanding, or even comedic clashes might pave the way for a more heartfelt connection. Their evolving relationship has the potential to not only enrich their individual arcs but also add an emotionally resonant layer to the overarching story.

Vassago:

While it’s true that both Vassago and Stolas are gay, that doesn’t inherently mean they’re destined to be romantically involved. Vassago gives off more of a “gay best friend” vibe—a confidant who shares tea, biscuits, and witty gossip with Stolas, rather than a potential love interest. Their interactions could represent a bond between two gay individuals without veering into romance, offering a refreshing portrayal of queer camaraderie.

At this stage in the narrative, the groundwork for Stolitz is too deeply rooted to backpedal. Stolas pursuing another romantic interest would likely derail the emotional investment built between him and Blitz unless some major plot twist occurs before the holiday-themed “Sinmas” episode. However, all signs currently point to Stolitz being endgame, with minimal room for deviations.

Octavia:

Time in Hell seems to work differently from Earth, so the 100-year punishment Stolas received might not be as long as it initially sounds. It could equate to only a month or so in Earth time, which would explain how events are progressing relatively quickly in the story. Given that Stolas was described as “demon royalty” and “Your life has life has actual worth” at the time of his sentencing, it’s also possible his punishment was more lenient, aside from the banishment itself. This opens up the possibility that the length of his sentence was intentionally designed to be shorter or less impactful — cuz we all know Satan is 95% of the time nothing but full shit lol. If the timeline in Helluva Boss aligns with the real-world pacing of episodes, Stolas may already be nearing the end of his sentence when the next episode begins. (possibly, if I’m right about this, knowing that Viv finds clever ways to stay on track with the story, even with timely gaps in between such as this theory)

The real heart of the theory lies in Stolas’s relationships and how companionship shapes his story. The teaser for the next episode shows Octavia confronting him, accusing, “You don’t love Mama. You don’t love me. You love HIM.” This suggests she still cares deeply about him despite her anger, and their bond hasn’t fully broken. Whether this scene follows a timeskip where Stolas’s sentence has ended, or if Octavia has — yet again — run away to visit him mid-punishment, or whether he heard about it similar to what happened in Seeing Stars or however it’s played out — the core focus remains on their connection. The narrative seems poised to explore the tension between their estranged bond and Stolas’s evolving relationship with Blitz. This companionship, both lost and found, may ultimately be what drives the story forward, no matter how the timeline unfolds.

Soloing fostering a commoner/clash community in my LGS.

Getting them on board with making the Flesh and Blood night some kind of actual tournament instead of a few dudes just chilling playing cards. This one is already working.

Making commoner or clash happen? Not as tournament formats yet. As above, It's something I plan on fostering with or without top down support.

Also, if you've never heard of clash yet.

There ya go.

... I have been informed that flesh and blood commoner decks are less than 10€ each...

I *might* build one or three. Like, dash, rhinar, kassai and/or one ranger......
