The Dwarves of the Gabil'akkâ have caught a goblin sneaking around Máttugard, and now he is their prisoner.
'Our captive is a goblin of Gundabad. The guards caught him creeping in the shadows near the Steepset, no doubt on an errand of evil for Gorgar. He would have been slain out of hand if he had not been recognized, but that recognition will only stay the executioner's axe for a short while.
'They have him in a cage north of Maergrind, down one level. Speak to those who watch him, and perhaps he will tell us something of use. We have no need for goblins, but our need is even less if they can tell us nothing.'
