Soon after becoming a DM, I learned that my players add quite a bit of lore to my world through their backstories, actions etc. Now, it's just as much my world as it is theirs.
I saw this thread (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/story-lore/118709-three-sentence-backstory) and wanted to try something similar to collaborate with all of you. Join me in crafting a story where we each submit one sentence that follows up the previous comment. For example, if the previous sentence is about a goblin chasing after an explosive barrel, the next sentence should somehow relate to that (See example below).
1. "The frantic goblin chased after an explosive barrel rolling down a hill toward the new king's coronation ceremony."
2. "He trips and falls flat on his face, looking up to see the barrel has vanished under one of the cloth covered tables."
To include everyone, my only ask is that the one sentence you submit is appropriate for all who visit these forums. I.E. Nothing too vulgar, offensive, etc. Use your best judgement.
***Our story starts as follows***
As the morning sun begins to rise, the villagers begin their busy day, unaware of a figure reaching up from the well, clinging its hand to the top of the wellhead.

The creatures moldy green hand clings onto the side of well before a second hand reaches up, this one holding a dagger that drips a green goopy poison.
Sid Sorrowhill, a joyful halfling with an ill-fitting name, is working hard and hardly working at the well, when he lifts up his head and screams like a Groginagian Grey Orangutan.
First scared out of his boots and now trying his best to hold back inappropriate jokes about the monster's Rainbow 'Shrooms, the seemingly naive, young halfling grins at the monster and asks:
He invited him to sit down, and share a cup of tea and crumpets, but The goblin stayed standing and reached into his pocket to reveal a shimmering object

The creature pulls itself up, and looks around, locking eyes on the halfling as it slowly walks over
The creatures eyes turn black and inky, as multicolored fungi spreads around its body.

( in perfect goblin ) " Hello good sir, what would like to eat this fine morning, I have eggs and coffee in my house?"
The creature -- who appeared to be vaguely humanoid (goblinnoid?) -- shirked, the loud and wordless cry punctuated by a wave of its weapon.
Knowing the goblins language Sid smiled and replied back with a shriek of his own, and the goblin followed him inside his house.
He invited him to sit down, and share a cup of tea and crumpets, but The goblin stayed standing and reached into his pocket to reveal a shimmering object
It was an average brass doorknob, albeit one that was clearly polished and well-taken care of.
