Map 319 - The Goblin Lair - Cavern Map

# Background Lore

Several travelers and caravans report that the eastern road is no longer safe. Dangerous goblin raiders roam the area and have attacked some lone travelers or small and unprotected caravans. It is hard to know or calculate the amount of damage they have done or how many lives have been lost. But one thing is certain, the road is dangerous and the goblins’ power and influence are growing stronger.

Over the past few weeks, the goblins have sent strange letters and other written messages to nearby settlements and toll houses. They claim to hold some prisoners captive in their lair and offer to free them in exchange for gold. They ask for 10 gold coins per person. But 15 for the children, of which they have two, or so they claim. The local authorities have ignored such letters so far as it appears that none of the people described in the letters fits the description of anyone known or important. It could all be a ruse for all they know.
