Monsters in the Hills: Tunnels & Trolls Edition

Description

Just outside the town of Woodbridge, near the village of Stickford, is the Red Wyvern Inn. It is a meeting place for those who seek to explore the Goblin Hills. Delvers of all sorts can be found there. It is often the last place they visit before entering the hills to seek their fortunes.

Under the hills is a network of mine tunnels, shafts and chambers, natural caverns and sections of ancient realms. A few outposts of gnomes and dwarves try to dwell in these dungeons but mostly you will encounter monsters there.

During the Goblin Wars, the hills were rich in copper. Though the copper was mined long ago, soon after the miners left, monsters took up residence. Some of them brought copper of their own and other treasure. Even more valuables were lost by explorers or gathered during raids on the local population.

There the monsters sit in their lairs, plotting their raids or preying on each other unless they find foolish delvers to prey upon.

The Hills and nearby settlements lie under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the Frontier Fortress where the rulers of the land have garrisoned a small army in case of goblin activity – especially army formation. Most peasants simply refer to all monsters as goblins, and hope they never encounter one.

Officially, it is forbidden to enter the hills but the law is never enforced because some delver parties return and some bring back hordes of coins to spend in town. Also, it is felt, by most, that the destruction of monsters by bands of treasure hunters is preferable to the raiding of their villages. In fact, the Kindred Alliance regularly sends parties in search of ancient coins and relics.
