Karameikos - Vaults of Pandius

The Rise of Dhrom DhumHe is right, and he even collected severaldocuments to support this - very old humanand elven chronicles that describe the hills asinhabited by goblins from many centuriesago. He is also ready to address his petition tothe Western Defense League and any foreignambassador in Karameikos, with the goal ofembarrassing the King or exposing hishypocrisy if he refuses without grounds thegoblins’ claim for independence. If PCs areinvolved, they should resort to diplomacyrather than violence, as Dhrom Dhum hasmany warriors that know the hills very well,and could be rather difficult to defeat. Indeedthe underground areas under the Wufwoldeare so extensive that even the task of simplyfinding Dhrom Dhum would be reallydaunting.ARGOS WILL“You will do as commanded,” said the darkgreen robed figure.The big goblin shifted on his feet, troubled.“But the runt has always been our enemy,” hesaid, disgruntled. “We exiled him”.Because my stupid minions failed to killhim, he also thought.It’s the will of the Green Lord and you willobey,” said the figure in her quiet voice, withjust a slight note of irritation.Kosivikh shivered. In his life he had survivedmuch and feared very little. Indeed, he fearedonly the Green Lord and the witches in all theworld. And one of the witches was nowstanding quietly before him. He almost hadn’tthe strength to reply again, but thensomehow managed to speak.“He worships another immortal. Theshamans of all the hordes will bedispleased.”The figure made a sound. It sounded almostlike a laughter, but it terrified him.Your immortals are not here. I am here. Andthe Green Lord is near,” she said.As a whelp, Kosivikh was taught it wasfoolish to defy immortals and shamans,unless you were powerful enough to do it.He bowed before the dark green figure.We will ask Dhrom Dhum to join the goblinkingdom as his loyal subjects,” he said. Healmost choked on the words and felt sick. Hedidn’t look up, but he knew the witch wassmiling.What this meansIn the past, the green dragon Argos hasactively tried to kill Dhrom Dhum, as theonly goblin leader unwilling to bow beforehim. But the idea of creating a goblinkingdom amuses him so much he hasdecided to join it. Not overtly, obviously, buthe is sure the event could only beadvantageous to him.122THRESHOLD: The Mystara Magazine Issue #1
