Tregon Firmstone

Tregon is no stranger to heavy armor and hard battles, but prefers the quiet movement of his fine leather.
“I can’t feel the stone clunkin’ round in all that metal.”

Tregon is a hardy, solid dwarf of good reputation among his kin in the mountains. He works hard, is likable, with a good humor. He always sees the best in folk and sometimes to a fault. He can be quite gullible. Trevon believes most things that people say are the truth, and has lost his savings more than once because of his blind trust in others.

Tregon prefers the home life. His mother’s Sweet potatoes and onions makes up his favorite meal. He has come to admire halflings for their enjoyment of good food and drink and never misses an opportunity to visit them when he can. While he loves home life under the security of the mountains, a wanderlust occasionally takes hold of him and his curious nature keeps him from holding a life-long work in the dwarven society.

The Hobgoblin Hold

A Low-level Labyrinth Lord / BECMI side quest by Lloyd Metcalf

While traveling along the road the PCs discover three dead and bloodied kobolds and what was quite a skirmish. Closer investigation suggests that someone, or something has captured the creatures.

Crude cages are hidden nearby, and manacles are dangling from a low tree branch. The trail leads to a very unpleasant out-cropping.

The Hobgoblin encampment dominates the face of a series of cliffs. For years this tribe of Hobgoblins have been enslaving kobolds and goblins to carve their secure underground hold out of the cliff for their leader, Blodnick. Blodnick seeks the favor of goblinoid wicked gods above ALL other things.

Within the lair are 30 hobgoblins, 20 Kobolds, and 15 goblins.

While making their way into the caverns and through the cliffs, the PCs find the kobolds and goblins quite desperate to escape and terrified of their captors. If the PCs approach with a willingness to converse, the kobolds reaction is at +1 bonus.

The Hobgoblins are more interested in simply getting the PCs to leave than they are in the dangerous business of killing them. Some may attempt bribery if given the opportunity.

Blodnick is attempting to become a cleric of the goblinoid gods, but simply can’t find the blessings, literature, or tutelage to get there. He sees PCs disrupting him as an intrusion in a very private affair.
