A small village vs 5e's creepiest monster

The peaceful farming village of Vallinas is home to 258 people. The majority are fourthlings with mixed goblinoid ancestry, but there are 65 goblins and 27 hobgoblins. (About 1 in 100 thousand people display some kind of extraplanar heritage: tieflings, aasimar, genasi, and the like. A village the size of Vallinas has a 0.25% chance of having one. It doesn't.) 

50 fourthlings, 20 goblins and 8 hobgoblins are children who haven't yet reached puberty or their adult height. Fourthling and hobgoblin children are size category Small, and infants (of which there are 10) are Tiny. Goblins are already Small, so their children are all Tiny. 15 fourthlings, 3 goblins and 2 hobgoblins are elderly. 

Most of the people in Vallinas are 1 HD commoners. There are a couple of 2 HD guards, both fourthlings. The village is far too small to have a proper cleric, but the fourthling village priest knows the mending and spare the dying cantrips, and he can cast purify food and drink once a day. The closest thing there is to nobility is a hobgoblin family who own more land than everybody else, live in a bigger house, and employ a maidservant.

There's a tavern where the workers gather to drink after a day's work, but it's not an inn and has no guestrooms; they're midway between two larger towns a day's travel apart, so most travellers just pass straight through, planning to stay the night in one of those.

A small village vs 5e's creepiest monster

The peaceful farming village of Vallinas is home to 258 people. The majority are fourthlings, people with mixed goblinoid ancestry, but there are 65 goblins and 27 hobgoblins.

Species demographics sidebar

Fourthlings aren't the biggest segment of the population, but they're disproportionately represented in farming communities like Vallinas. Pure-blooded hobgoblins are more common among the nobility and gentry, who care more about their bloodlines. Goblins are a minority in this country; they're more common in other countries.

About 1 in 25 thousand people (corrected from the old estimate of 1 in 100 thousand) display some kind of extraplanar heritage: tieflings, aasimar, genasi, and the like. A village the size of Vallinas has a 1% chance of having one. It doesn't. (Sorcerers, incidentally, are about the same rarity. Vallinas doesn't have any of those, either.)
