Damn, the kobolds running away really complicates things even further! Now they'll tell the story that we didn't fight the goblins whether we do or not!
I feel a little bad about turning on these goblins, since we have materially benefited from dealing with them in the past. Between the three factions (I'm not really counting the dwarves here), I have the most antipathy for the Ghost Beggars, who've already threatened and tried to steal from us (not to mention, we've already killed some of their number), and I don't really want to strengthen their hold on Stonehell. Is there a plan we might concoct with the goblins to lay a trap for the Ghost Beggars with a reasonable chance of exterminating them?
