Jolly old man
Score: 94 | 2/18/15 |
Old Man Ebi is a cheerful hermit with a hunched gait and a bag of goodies. He lives in the mountains near Shinsei's Last Hope, where the goblins have been mostly beaten back. In return for their retrieval of a silver waki-zashi from a goblin raider, he gave Ohaitsu, Ranneko, and their friends two methods of transporting extra goblin heads, as well as knowledge of a shortcut to the Ruins of the Kappa and which goblins there would be friendly.
Based on Botan's assessment, he fits the appearance and modus operandi of an ōgon no oni.
