Chapter One: Bones and Ashes

The goblin ghouls don't seem to have any possessions except for the rotted clothing that they are wearing. One of them fled northwest while the other fled southwest.

Jathus, during his search of the chamber, finds a well-hidden door in the southeastern corner, which opens to a tunnel leading eastward.

You move carefully through the tunnels to the southeast and it quickly becomes clear that this path isn't likely going to lead around behind the goblin ghouls you fought before or this Glorkus character. You can smell the scent of death surrounding you and it's only getting stronger. After a few minutes of walking, you hear footsteps approaching.

Suddenly from around the next turn in the tunnel, a ghoul steps out and holds out his hands in a diplomatic gesture, "Please, stay back," he says in a hissing rasp, "I know my scent can be a bit... overwhelming to the unprepared. Why have you come to our warrens?"

The ghoul bows, "I am Wolgur Wrabs," he says, "Leader of the ghouls in these warrens. We've lived here for years in peace and have no desire to start a war with the town above. Who are you looking for and where in the graveyard were they buried?"

Wolgur strokes his chin, "I do not know the name, but that part of the warren belongs to the goblins," he says, "They are less restrained than we are. I can assure you her bones are not over here, though."

Wolgur shakes his head, "No, they are not with us," he says, "Unfortunately, I have never heard of this 'Glorkus' character, so I can't help you there. If they have something of yours and won't give it back, then do what you must. We will not interfere."

"I don't know that you will be able to reasons with them. Goblins are unreasonable at the best of times. You can try, but I don't recommend getting your hopes up."

He hesitates, "Please, do not tell those on the surface of our presence. We do not harm the living and only feast upon corpses. We like our home and would rather not be forced to leave to a less hospitable area."
