What happened to the land

Goblin furnaces melt all the snow, and the land becomes hot and dusty.

The boss: A giant walking machine, run by Chief Tinker Gizzlecog (proposed), a show-off goblin inventor who talks through a big funnel ("BEHOLD!"). Twelve goblins inside push the buttons.

How the story ends here: With a POP, the hatch flies open. Twelve goblins tumble out and wave. "We were... just borrowing it."

Weather in Emberwaste

Expect sandstorm, ember rain, scorching noon. Over its 6 days you'll see heatwave, sandstorm, breezy, cloudy and embers. Wind pushes your arrows, fog hides far-away foes, rain weakens fire, snow slows walkers, and night means only torch-lit enemies are easy to see.

The story so far

Narrator: The goblin furnaces melted the snow. Now everything is hot and dusty!

Glacia: Too warm for me. I shall sit by the ice box.

Grub the Herald: HEAR YE! Chief Tinker Gizzlecog is building something BIG!

Captain Bramble: How big?

Narrator: Far away: CLANK. CLANK. CLANK.
