This dark, while engaging a vile scale skinned kobold, who has perverted nature to his ends, in single combat, I was assaulted by three other vile goblins, whom seem to be led by a dwarf clad in black plate! One goblin even claimed to be the bane of all gnomekind! This foul slaving band is allowed to freely walk the streets of lower! After being bested by overwhelming odds, I was beaten in the streets, with many a citizen watching. They then attempted to drag me off to be sold to some slaver, to be sure. Only my quick wit allowed me to escape the dull witted cretins, so I call on all gnomekind to rally, and descend to cleanse our fair Sanctuary of this plague of Goblin and Kobold union. ...I have no doubt that the Dwarf who leads them is of the blackest of hearts, who could make alliance with such slaving dastardly creatures but one of a perverse soul? Do not allow this menace to flourish, for it will be the end of freedom and a travesty of nature to allow these things to go on unchecked. I may be broken, robbed blind and naked, but I so Swear that I will not allow this to go on in the city of my birth, and urge all of upper to act as well, or it may be you that crawls back up those stairs some day, or worse, them.
