  • GLOIS -Records carried off by Orrish – raid the caverns of Blackwell Ridge – a known goblin haunt; TRICK mission to test their mettle (why would Orrish not burn and destroy records!?)
    Blackwell Ridge – Its a known haunt of Orrish and dark-friends. The warrens under the ridge are said to go for miles and have many exits. A few times a year a force of the Duke’s regular army and local fighters is sent in to make sure no large enemy forces accumulate. There is a particular entrance to a set of tunnels, ‘Black Berth’ its called – a massive cavern with vegetation, decay and the warmth from it. A particular fungi grows there, three species actually – one of which is unique to the particular salts, water and mineral combination outside the ‘Trimble Down’ tunnel; named for the Ducateon Iron-rod Trimble who died killing dozens of Orrish and other creatures trying to overwhelm a force retreating from The Deeping who smashed a temple of Everdark far away in the tunnels.

    -> Bring back some fungi as proof, but there’s a prison not far inside the tunnel – a prison where victims are tortured and where the Orrish are said to have spoils of war from a thousand years. That’s where such things will be found. The fungi will be proof of the locale and any documents will be legitimized.

    -> they should be beaten back and return to the court where they will be encouraged to keep returning. The ‘prison’ are slave pens of The Deeping

    -> Eventually, the joke will go far enough – they will be laughed at openly and told of the joke played on them. They can look at the histories here in Pakhurst Lodge all they want, while they are recovering.
