Disruption at Black Ash Mine

Our working operations at the Black Ash Mine have come to a complete halt. Not only are we having to look over our back for those Mudpaw Gnolls, now the Venture Co. are lurking around.

I've been receiving some reports from some of the miners that they have seen a goblin command the gnolls on their attack at the Black Ash Mine. Head just to the north of here, and delve into the mine itself. If you find anyone related to the Venture Co. slay them, and then return to me.

Let us hope such rumors are not true.

A goblin deep within the mine itself?

This is big news, and somewhat concerning. I will discuss this with my superiors, but your information has given us exactly what we need. You've done well this day, upstart.
