Unidentified splinters player

"We have a cheat at the table."
the Professor, confronting the black-eared goblin[1]

This black-eared goblin cheated in a game of splinters on the Deadbolt Vulpoon in c. 600 ᴇ.ʏ.. He was then killed in a duel with the Professor after he was confronted for cheating.

The splinters game

At the end of the game, when the Professor called for the players to scuttle, the black-ear claimed to win by showing a Lullabee Grove and Hatching Caterbird pair. However, the Hatching Caterbird had been in the hand of a webfoot goblin, so it became clear that the black-ear had cheated.[1]

The Professor slit the goblin's sleeve open with a dagger, exposing several Hatching Caterbirds. They decided to settle the matter with a duel, which goblin lost. He was killed by the Professor's throwing knife landing in his chest.[1]
