Goblin Mayor

The Mayor
Bad guys	a tophatted Gulch Goblin
XP (kill)	15 - 16

The first character you encounter is a goblin mayor. If you have Goblintongue you may talk to him, and with at least level 2 of Outfoxin', Intimidatin', or Hornswogglin' persuade him to let you in without a fight.

If you have Gary as a Pardner, talking to him here will give you an iron key. When you approach the first goblin, you are offered a riddle game instead of the normal conversation. After solving 3 riddles, he will give you a year's supply of dynamite. Gary prevents access to the rest of the camp.
